Timeskip - 10 years later
"So, how do you feel, Garp?" asked the fleet admiral, Sengoku.
"Hungry. Do you by any chance have any rice crackers on you?" asked Garp.
"That's not what I'm talking about," he scowled, "I'm talking about your grandson, Monkey D. Luffy, becoming captain of the marines at only the age of 17."
"WAHAHAHA! Of course he's captain by now. He is MY grandson after all!" Garp grinned.
"Yes, I suppose you have a right to brag right now." Sengoku said while rolling his eyes, "But the very fact that he's YOUR grandson makes me worry... I wonder how he's doing on his pursuit of Iron Mace Alvida right now..."
Situation – Luffy and his crew of subordinates are currently in a marine ship across from Alvida's pirate ship
"You there, hand me that Den DenMushi." commanded Luffy.
"Yes sir." said one of the subordinates. He handed Luffy the Den DenMushi and then walked back towards his fellow crewmates.
"What do you think he's going to tell Iron Mace Alvida?" one of them asked.
"I bet he's going to get Alvida to beg for mercy!"
"Yeah, that must be it! Speaking of Alvida, where is she? I don't see her on deck."
"She's probably just inside hiding in fear!"
"Yeah! Everyone knows how great our Captain is! I once heard that he took down 30 pirates ships all by himself!"
"Shhh! He's about to talk."
"Ahem." Luffy cleared his throat and then put the Den Den Mushi up to his lips. Then in the most serious face he could make, he said "Alvida Pirates, I'm going to take all your meat!"
To say that everyone was flabbergasted would be an understatement. I think you can imagine it when I say that everyone's mouths dropped.
"Um, Captain, taking food by force would be something pirates would do. We're actually here to capture and arrest Iron Mace Alvida and her crew." reminded the Lieutenant Commander, Hardy.
"Oh, of course." said Luffy, who was now realizing the situation they were in. Once again, he put the Den Den Mushi to his lips "Iron Mace Alvida and her crew, surrender now and we won't take all of your meat!"
It took them a few minutes before they all realized that this was the best threat that they were going to get from their captain.
"Yosh!" Luffy exclaimed while turning to face his crew "You guys send them flying while I go search for meat!"
And with that, he jumped on to the other ship and ran to the door leading inside.
"Where do ya think yer going, ya meat lover?" sneered a big burly guy that was blocking the door.
"Don't get in my way!" shouted Luffy as he stretched his rubber arm back to where his crewmates were "GOMU GOMU NO PISTOL!" and he sent his arm barreling back towards the man in front of him, which made him go flying away.
Turning his head towards his subordinates, Luffy yelled "Come on! What are you waiting for?! Send these small fries flying already!" and he ran inside to search for meat.
"You heard the Captain everyone. Let's go!" exclaimed Hardy. And thus began the battle between the marines and the Alvida Pirates.
"Meat, meat, meat." muttered Luffy as he ran through the ship. -sniff, sniff- Oh, something smells good!
Following his nose, Luffy wandered through the hallways until he reached the kitchen.
"I know the chefs told me to watch the pot while they went on deck, but I don't know a thing about cooking..."
"Ah, there it is! It smells so goooood!" exclaimed Luffy. With drool hanging down the side of his mouth, he grabbed the pot of soup and started chugging it down.
"Wah! Who are you? Are you the intruder that everyone went to go see?!" shrieked a short boy with pink hair.
Finishing the pot of soup, Luffy set it down on the counter and yelled "Ahhhhh, that soup tasted great! Hm? Who are you?"
"EHHH?! Now you notice me?!" exclaimed the short boy "But anyways, I'm Coby. I've been forced to be the chore boy here for two years now."
"Hm? What do you mean forced?" asked Luffy.
"Oh, you see, two years ago, I accidentally got on this ship and to stay alive, I've become the chore boy and navigator." Coby admitted.
"Hmm... you're really stupid and useless aren't you? And you seem kind of wimpy. Shishishi, I don't like you!" he laughed.
"Oh ... uh... um..." (Coby's self esteem was probably just crushed...)
"Shishishi, but since I'm in the marine, I'll help you!"
"Really?! You're in the marine? Do you think I can join you? It's always been my dream to become one!"
"No." Luffy quickly said, his face suddenly turning serious.
"B- but..."
"Coby, do you really think you're up for it? Everyday we risk our lives for the sake of justice. Can you say you're willing to die for this job?"
"I- I... YES! I'm willing to die for this job because it's my dream to become a marine and to be able to arrest people like Alvida!" Coby, now gaining the resolution he needed, shouted.
"SHISHISH-"
"Who are you going to arrest Coby?!" bursting through the walls into the room came the big burly guy from before and with him, an over weighted woman with wavy black hair carrying a giant club with spikes all over it.
"Tell me, Hiroki, who is the most beautiful lady in the seas?" the lady asked the burly guy, Hiroki.
"You are ma'am." he responded.
"Now tell me, Coby, who is the most beautiful lady in the seas?"
"Hey Coby, who's this rude lady?" asked Luffy.
"She's... she's..." staring up at Luffy, Coby found the courage he needed "SHE'S THE RUDEST DAMNED LADY I HAVE EVER MET!"
"COBY! YOU LITTLE SNOT NOSED BRAT!" she growled.
"SHISHISHI, well said, Coby! So I assume that you're Iron Mace Alvida?" Luffy asked.
"What's it to ya, punk?!"
"Well since you are, I'm going to have to send you flying!"
With every word, Alvida grew more angry, so angry that a vein was popping out "Why, you!" and she sent her club smashing against Luffy's skull.
"Luffy!" cried Coby.
"Shishishi." Luffy responded.
"Huuuh?!" wailed Alvida.
"Shishishi, you can't hurt me because I'm a rubberman! GOMU GOMU NO PISTOL!"
"Huh? Lieutenant Commander Hardy, what's that flying up there?" one of the crew members asked, as they were tying up the rest of the Alvida Pirates.
Hardy let out a sigh as he looked up at the sky"Looks like we're going to be fishing for pirates again."
