Yey! Well guess what? Shanks actually gets mentioned and maybe a memory, but I was literally stuck on that part so I skipped it. Me and my imagination… Well as for the crew I can't make OC's because I'm like that. So she will get a different crew, but they're probably characters that you all know if you watched the series! Also to the LostFairy that's a really good point you made there, that's really true I completely forgot…but I need to think some more. SO! To sum it all up, the story will be different (in its own ways, but at least different from the original storyline) Luffy will have a new crew, and she can swim (Fornowmaybe) since I'm weird like that. Now here's chapter 2. I got to get working on the other chapter for the other story…-_- Oh and you all don't really have to review/ comment whatever it is XD the views are enough for me! I don't beg owo. Unless you have some suggestions that I can use, since I don't think exactly think very well. Sorry if this chapter was boring and weird, and…okay I'll really leave you alone to read now.

Chapter 2 – First Mate Found! Escape From the Goa Kingdom!

"Luffy-ya, we got to go!"

"I know, but what about Makino and the others?!"

"That's not important right now! They're after us! Not the citizens!"

"Hurry up Lu!"

"…..Fine! Let's go!" Now maybe some of you might be wondering what's happening here exactly. So let's go back a little in time. Where Luffy first met, her official first mate. And got into this trouble.

"Ace, Sabo!" Luffy called from outside. She wore a small bag on her back with her prized straw hat atop on her head. "I'm going to go adventure for a while!" Three more years had passed and she was now ten. Ace and Sabo let her go off to her own journeys now, but only until the sun began to set. Both boys had actually grown a little taller than before, now being twelve, unfortunately for Luffy, she only grew an inch, but she didn't really care at the time.

"Alright! You know when to come back?!" Ace yelled back.

"Of course I do now see you later!" Luffy gave a wave and ran off.

"Take care!"

The girl knew the forest like the back of her hand and could run around blindfolded without crashing into one tree. She maneuvered through the oversized trees and leaped up onto a branch while swinging around like a monkey. She finally reached the cities walls and looked outside in the dump yard, or Gray Terminal. She looked around for any necessities that she and her brothers might need. Scavenging was enjoyable to her because there was really no telling of what you would find. And she was in a surprise for today. Luffy ran around and in the end only found a telescope, a small dagger and a good sized pipe. Satisfied with what she got Luffy spun around and dashed for the woods again disappearing out of sight. While running though she accidently made a sharp turn and crashed into another boy.

"What the hell?!" The boy cried out in surprise as he fell onto the floor, Luffy being on top of him. The fall resulted in an awkward position as Luffy, oblivious to everything, took a good look at the boy. He had short black spiky hair, and there were small dark bags under his eyes. Making him look as if he hadn't gotten sleep for days and his eyes were obsidian black which had a dull light in them. His clothing choice was black sneakers, a yellow shirt, and blue jeans along with a furry white, brown spotted hat. On his back was an impressive long katana. Luffy stared at him for a minute or two which made him shift uncomfortably underneath.

"What is it that you want?" He asked with a scowl. Luffy gave a smile and helped him up.

"Nothing! You just looked cool!" The stranger blushed slightly and it quickly went away as it came as he looked with a blank expression.

"Can you get off me now please?" Luffy scrambled off of him and he was about to leave until she grabbed his arm.

"Wait! What's your name? My name is Luffy!" She said with curiosity.

"…Trafalgar Law, nice to meet you Luffy." He turned to leave again and Luffy stopped him for the second time to his annoyance. Law just wanted to be left alone.

"Wait, can we…er…assocate? Umm, talk?" Luffy stuttered, she hated vocabulary.

"It's associate and…I guess I have the time, but only for a bit." Law turned his head away and then sat down, leaning on a tree, Luffy jumped in his lap. Law grew flustered as he tried to push Luffy off, but she stubbornly stuck there. After a few tries he gave up and leaned back once more. Just his luck, meeting a stubborn little girl that he didn't even know.

"So how old are you, do you know how to use the sword, do you have a family? Because I do, and they're both the best brothers in the world!" Luffy rambled on and on. She felt really comfortable around him for some reason. As if he was to be trusted.

"Okay, okay, so first I would be thirteen, yes I can use a sword, and no I do not have a family." Law finished and Luffy looked up with sad eyes.

"Really…? Aren't you lonely?" Law shook his head while making a scowl.

"And I never will be, the last time I had a family…Well I'm just thankful that I'm away from that place." Luffy grew even more curious, but decided not to prod into it, for once. She thought for a minute before obtaining an idea.

"Hey why don't you join my family?" She grinned a bright grin and looked up at Law expectantly. He fidgeted again at her bright smiles and such, but shook his head. Luffy then pouted and resorted to her puppy eyes. Law promptly fell onto the floor and looked away, but he looked back and sighed. He couldn't believe he was saying this, acting like this only because of a little girl, how pitiful.

"I don't know if they'll willingly accept me, but I can take a look I guess." Luffy cheered and grabbed his hand. Law skillfully put on his hat and grabbed his sword in time while running after the energetic girl. After a few minutes of running and parkouring, they reached the tree house to see Sabo standing in front with a dead boar.

"Hey Lu, you're back really early, find anything inte-" He stopped after seeing Law next to his sister. "Luffy who's that behind you?"

"Oh Sabo! This is Law! Law this is my elder brother Sabo!" She introduced. "Sabo guess what he's going to be living with us from now on!" Sabo dropped the boar and looked at Luffy with a 'What the heck' face. But he couldn't really say no to the smile that she was giving at the moment. It was too difficult after all the years he's been living with her. But at the same time, he couldn't just let another stranger come into their little world. A guy at that. Sabo was debating about what to do until Ace jumped out to greet his sister.

"Yo! Lu, welcome back!" Ace said with a smile, but that soon changed into a look of confusion and hatred. "Who's the guy…?"

"Ah, Ace this is Law! He's going to be our new brother." A pause.

"WHAT?!"

"LUFFY THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE ARE WE NOT ENOUGH?!"

"OI! I never agreed to that I said I would check it out!"

"Don't yell at Luffy!"

"Why what's so wrong with another family member joining?"

"EVERYTHING!"

"Haha! You all are so funny!" Luffy giggled in glee. After the small fight between Ace, Sabo, and Law all four are currently sitting down in the tree house at the table. Both sides were glaring at each other, the room filled with pure hatred.

"So, let's let Law here introduce himself." Ace spat out the word like as If it were a curse. He didn't trust this guy one bit. Getting near his little sister like that.

"Yeah! And then we could get to know each other better!" Luffy moved closer to Law and hugged him, earning a small blush on his tanned skin. Sabo and Ace flinched at the act. This was bad; she was getting too close to him for their liking. And Law here appeared to have a small crush on her. Hell no, as if that was going to happen right in front of them.

"Okay so then let's play the 'Introduce Each Other' game!" Luffy declared, both brothers groaned. This game went on for hours the last time they played. Seeing Law's confused face Luffy explained. "We all have to say one thing about each other and no lying or else you get hit! We also go in order so me, you, Ace, and then Sabo."

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy!"

"Trafalgar Law."

"Portgaz D. Ace."

"Sabo." Law looked at Sabo with a confused look, but pushed that aside, everyone has their secrets.

"I'm a pirate!" Ace and Sabo fell at that and sighed. She rambled on about becoming Queen of the Pirates for years and she still hung onto it. Law chuckled at her enthusiasm and continued on with the little game.

"I'm a...wanderer."

"Liar." Luffy pouted. Law raised a brow with a smirk.

"Oh? And how do you know?"

"Because my instincts tell me you're lying." Luffy flicked Law in the forehead. "That's your punishment now you have to tell the truth okay?" Ace and Sabo gave glares that meant death if he didn't. But Sabo had a bad feeling about what was to come. Law was silent until Luffy's eyes changed for a bit and her mouth moved.

"I'm a murderer." Law blurted out, why did he just say that? It was as if something forced him to , but he tried to quickly explain. "But, not anymore…" However his last few words were paused by Ace sticking a pole near his throat.

"You better not hurt my sister or Sabo, or else I'm going to beat you until you're half dead." Ace hissed in a low voice. Law sighed, this was why he never really wanted to be in a family. No one accepted him. No one enjoys being around someone who kills. He just wanted to be honest, and that was all in the past as well. Being a lone wolf really was the thing for him.

"Well I have no reason to since now I'm free, now if you'll excuse me I believe its time for me to take my leave." And with that Law jumped out. Luffy squirmed free of Sabo's arms and ran outside.

"I'm going out for a bit!"

"Wait Luffy, don't go near that guy!" Ace yelled while jumping out with his pole and Sabo followed along this time, not bothering to stop Ace.

Luffy finally caught up to Law and gave a hug.

"Sorry about what happened earlier, both are just…protective of me, they didn't mean it! Really!" Luffy said softly. "I'm sure you didn't really kill…right?" And Law opened his mouth, but closed it again as he turned around and hugged Luffy back to her surprise.

"Thank you, for actually caring, but, I just can't be accepted within society anymore, I've done too many things in the past that can't really be forgiven. No one wants to be with someone like me, someone who's gloomy all the time and only brings misery, not to mention my sadistic tendencies..." Luffy grew irritated and punched Law in the face.

"Well why not?! Are you saying just because you killed a few people and maybe did something horrible in the past, would mean that you're worse than trash, it's not worth living in this world?!"

"Luffy-ya, I-"

"NO! Law, you're not alone as you were in the past! What about me?! I care for you! I accept you! So Law, why can't you accept me…?" Luffy turned to Law with a pained look. "I don't really know how it is to be alone, but I understand how painful it must be to keep a dark secret and think that you'll be hated. But I'm here for you now, I'm your new family, I want you to be my family, we don't even have to be blood related!" Tears were beginning to fall down her cheeks. "Being alone…is worse than being hurt…" She whispered and Law's eyes widened in surprise. Luffy noticed that she was crying and then quickly turned around trying to rub the salty liquid off her face.

"I-I wasn't crying okay?!" She muttered in embarrassment.

"…Yeah, it is huh?" Law smiled a genuine smile for once as he embraced her from behing. "Luffy-ya, thank you again, I guess you're right, it's just that I've had too much stress piling up in my life that I've probably been blinded by my own beliefs." Law felt that things had to be said right there and right then. "The thing is that when I was younger I couldn't forgive myself for killing families and giving pain and misery to people. It was hard to keep going while continuously hearing pleads and screams." Law shut his eyes tightly. "It was also kind of difficult to control my insanity so I was shunned away and thrown out of my hometown."

"Law…" Luffy made a guilty face.

"But now, maybe if I stick with you, I can change." Law smiled again. "And I probably already did." Luffy giggled and jumped on Law's back.

"You know, you look better when you smile." Luffy complimented. "You should do that more often." Law chuckled, this time not really minding the contact so much.

"Unfortunately my features just don't allow that too much now. It just turns out to be a creepy smile." Both laughed for a while before rain drops began to fall. And they took shelter underneath a tree.

"I didn't know it was going to rain today." Luffy pouted. Both looked at each other and smiled, a friendly bond now forming between them. After a while Law sighed. It was so gloomy like and the rain poured down even harder with every minute passing by.

"Law…in truth actually, I like the rain." Luffy gave a gentle smile, one that he had never seen before yet. "It's almost as if it's a light or hard shower that cleanses the world in its ways, as a matter of fact I love water." She giggled and held out a hand appreciating the rain drops falling onto her palm. Law gave a small smile.

"I guess so." He closed his eyes, but they snapped back open as he heard a low rumble. A wild animal? No, it didn't sound like that. He looked up, nothing, then behind him, now there was something. Boulders came crashing down, crushing the trees like toothpicks underneath them. Law looked at Luffy who was too absorbed with the rain to hear and panicked. Soon she also heard and turned around as a decent sized boulder came towards her and Law pushed her aside by tackling her onto the floor. They were nearly crushed by an inch and then without a word he took off, carrying Luffy bridal style. Law was having a little trouble, there was too much rubble rolling towards him and every time he jumps on a tree it gets run over. Law gritted his teeth in annoyance as he finally gave up the dodging and took out his sword. With ease and great concentration he cut any rocks or trees that were falling towards them. After a while everything came to a stop and only the sound of the rain remained.

"I can take care of myself you know." Luffy pouted.

"Your welcome for saving your life." Law said with a displeased look, but that was soon gone as Luffy gave a small kiss on the cheek.

"But thanks anyway!" She giggled and his face grew red as a tomato. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, perfectly fine." He wondered if she even knew what a kiss means. Probably not. The two brothers appeared from the bushes behind panting slightly and ran up to the two.

"What the heck was that?!" Ace said wiping some sweat off his face. Law shrugged and sheathed his sword, putting it over his shoulder. Ace was about to say something to Law, but Luffy butted in.

"Guess what Law here saved me! See he isn't bad after all! Even though I probably could've taken on all those boulders." And as if to prove what she said Luffy punched the air with a fist. Sabo looked at Law with appreciation and surprise, he then meekly put out a hand.

"I guess I was wrong about you, thanks for taking care of Luffy." He said with a worried smile. Sabo hoped that Law would forgive him. Smirking, Law took his hand and they shook.

"Of course, and that's no problem." Ace looked away and walked past Law while giving him a pat on the shoulder.

"You aren't so bad…but I don't really trust you yet." He said and strutted off into the direction of their home, ignoring the rain. "Come on, let's get home to dry up, you too Law." The said teen looked surprised, but then smirked and walked along. Instead of three, now there are four.

"Sir, I found him."

"Good, how was he?"

"Unfortunately now he's living with some kids around his age."

"Hmm well that's a shame, did you kill them?"

"I tried to…" A gunshot was heard as well as a thump.

"Tsk, tsk so disappointing, you know what to do now right?"

"…Yes, of course, I'll send some people there immediately."

"Perfect."

"NOOOO!" Footsteps were heard as Luffy ran around the big tree house.

"Yes! Now Luffy-ya get over here this instance!" Law chased after her with an annoyed look. "You got to take a bath someday, now get over here!"

"But I hate baths!" She whined in response. Law grew a tick mark on his forehead.

"If you don't get in there, no dinner for you." Luffy immediately zoomed inside the bath, which had a big wooden tub filled with fresh water every day and was warmed with steaming hot coals underneath. Splashes could be heard as Luffy's clothes were seen outside.

"You better give me dinner Law!" She yelled from inside. He smirked while picking up her clothing.

"Of course." Sabo took the clothes from Law and laughed.

"I think we'll all get along just fine." Law has been their official new brother for about three weeks by now and he was getting used to their terms of 'daily life'. Law and Sabo got along well, Ace began to warm up a bit after a while, but still had the cold shoulder. And Luffy accepted him from the start of course. Law, like Sabo and Ace, also became pretty protective of Luffy after what he's seen, although he doesn't really show it much. She kept coming back home repeatedly with cuts and bruises saying she fell or got into some kind of accident with a smile. The very first day Law had arrived, she had obtained a bad cut on her leg and he patched it up much to the others surprise. He explained that he was a doctor as well as a swordsman. And they were happy to hear that, while Luffy was overjoyed to find out her 'first mate' could do two things. He didn't really mind the title, but he didn't understand it as well. Ace and Sabo told him to just ignore it for now. Lately he felt as if they were being watched and not only him, but the oblivious girl's brothers too.

"I think I'm going crazy…" Law muttered to himself and Sabo gave a small smile.

"Well, I think we should pack up our stuff right now and run away at night." He then stopped walking with a thinking posture. "They may be targeting just one of us, since they didn't attack or even make a move yet, but the question is, who?" Law grimaced, he actually had a pretty good idea of who it could be, but didn't say his thoughts aloud as Luffy's loud footsteps appeared behind them and she crashed onto Sabo.

"Luffy! You're already done?" Sabo said with surprise showing clear. Luffy grinned and nodded standing up with only a towel around her.

"Have you seen my clothes anywhere Sabo?" Luffy asked with a curious look and the second eldest handed the clothes over to her. "Thanks a bunch Sabo you're the best!" And with that she gave a light peck on the cheek while dashing off to go find something interesting. Sabo blushed momentarily before standing up and continuing to walk around the tree house. Law followed behind.

"I see you've taken a little liking to Luffy now right?" Law smirked. Sabo immediately grew red in the face and stuttered.

"O-of course not Law w-where would you even get that idea? Ahahaha…" He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Plus we're siblings!"

"But not blood related, you could still be considered as a couple from other people's views." Law teased. Until Sabo pouted and turned his head away.

"Well then what about you?" Law grew a small blush as well and Sabo laughed. "See?"

"S-shut up, let's go pack up our things, I really think we should leave this place and move somewhere more secretive." Law quickly walked off towards their room and started to gather the little things that he had obtained. Sabo snickered quietly and packed his things as well, while packing Ace's belongings at the same time. In the meantime Law helped out with Luffy's things, he was surprised that she didn't really have much.

"Alright, so now we're all set right?" Law asked, packing the last of their belongings. Sabo nodded and set out the futons. It was getting dark and they should prepare to get a little sleep at least.

"Ace! Come on, let's go to bed already!" Footsteps were heard as Ace walked in the room and looked at the packed items. He sighed and lay down on his bed.

"So we're leaving already huh?" Sabo lay next to him and Law joined in at the far corner.

"Yeah…" Sabo replied with a solemn look. Law didn't know their close attachment to this tree house of theirs, but he felt bad for being the cause of making them leave in the first place. Luffy ran inside and hopped on Ace's stomach with a smile.

"Ow! Luffy why you!" Ace gave his own playful smile and then tackled Luffy lightly as she giggled in glee and both play fought for a moment. Until Law broke it up.

"Come on we need to at least get some sleep." Ace gave a bored look, but didn't argue as he rolled back onto his part of the bed. Luffy decided that she was going to sleep near Ace tonight and she hugged him from behind, cuddling closer to get warmth. Law and Sabo looked at Ace with a small amount of jealousy as he smirked proudly. All three had a small mental fight and soon fell asleep.

Sabo shifted underneath the blankets. Seriously who would be making a fire- Wait. He quickly sat up and looked around frantically, all of the family was present and he looked outside, the forest was engulfed in flames.

"Guys wake up!" He hissed grabbing his possessions and shaking everyone awake.

"Sabo what's happening?!" Luffy began to panic while Ace and Law began to gather everything.

"It's going to be alright Lu, let's just get out of here!" Ace yelled and jumped from tree to tree as the rest followed one by one. All four made it safely to the docks and began to put their things in the boat.

"Ace where are we going?" Luffy asked. Ace turned his head away and then sighed.

"We have to leave, I'll explain later alright? Now come on we need to hurry!" Luffy nodded with a worried look, but didn't say a thing. Ace and Sabo hopped on while trying to find the oars in the dark while Luffy and Law worked to get the rope off of the dingy. Unknown to them five men snuck up from behind and two grabbed Law by surprise while Luffy turned her head around and noticed that her eldest brother was missing. Curious and nervous she walked towards the beach area and noticed Law getting shoved into a bag.

"Hey let him go you mean jerks!" She yelled while getting into a fighting position. "Or else I'm going to give you a beating!" Law was about to say something before one man gagged him with a piece of cloth. The group laughed at her threat and one walked up to her.

"Sorry young lady, but we need him for the money, now go back home to your mommy before we change our minds and kill you. Luffy pouted before raising a fist and the man looked confused, but that was soon gone as she did an uppercut and a sickening crack could be heard from the man's chin.

"Why you little brat!" The rest charged towards Luffy as she bravely took a stand and slid underneath one's legs successfully roundhouse kicking him in the back. She then moved nimbly towards the other punching his hands first to get rid of the gun and swiped her leg under his feet knocking him to the ground. She dodged a punch and grabbed the arm flipping the man over her shoulder and onto the sand. Huffing with boredom she looked at the last with a glare. He stopped for a moment, but then decided to attack anyway. He manages to land a kick on her stomach, but she felt no pain and twisted the man's wrist, jumped towards his height and brought a leg up kicking him down hard onto the floor. Law was watching the whole time with a surprised look. Luffy was strong after all. He took out the gag and stuck his tongue out in disgust, it tasted really bad. But then more men began to appear one after another. Luffy stared at the crowd with a small smile.

"Okay I can't verse that many…"

"RUN!" The two dashed off towards the boat once more and hopped on. Luffy remembered the rest of her closest friends and tried to go back, but was stopped by Sabo.

"What are you doing?!"

"Luffy-ya, we got to go!"

"I know, but what about Makino and the others?!"

"That's not important right now! They're after us! Not the citizens!"

"Hurry up Lu!"

"…Fine! Let's go!" The siblings set off into the sea and Luffy looked back with a sad and distant look. Goodbye…Goa Kingdom.
