Ok so here's chapter 2! I think I should mention that I'm basing this story off the anime, not the manga, so some references might include filler arcs.

"Oy Robin are you ok?" said Usopp as he pulled Robin to her feet. Everyone was awake now standing in a white nothingness.

"I knew Luffy's head was empty but this is ridiculous." Sanji mentioned, as they all silently agreed.

"So what now? Do we just start walking?" Franky asked as he gazed around, wondering just how empty his captain's head was. Almost on cue a light appeared a few yards away.

"I was the first member of this crew and I still can't understand the guy. This might get dangerous." Zoro replied as he started to take out his swords.

"What good are those going to do? We are in Luffy's head." Chopper mentioned.

"Remember he said his grandpa tossed him in a jungle? We might have to fight something." Zoro retorted

"We can't fight something that has already happened. Why is fighting always on your mind?" Chopper said back, and with that Zoro put his swords away and they walked into the light.

They came out on a dock in a little town, with a windmill. Everything was peaceful except for some noises coming from what they thought was a bar.

"This must be Fuusha villiage. Remember that time we met those guys from the East Blue? Luffy said something about a windmill." Usopp said, slightly happy to be back in his own ocean.

"That's a very intelligent guess long nose-kun." Stated Robin. A divide was quickly forming in the group, the four from the East Blue and the four that they on the Grand Line. Most of the crew had a basic idea what happened after Nami joined, as she was the one who started the ship's log. They all turned to Zoro for answers, as he stated earlier, he was the first.

"Oy oy, I don't know anything about Luffy before I met him in a marine town, and he saved my ass so I didn't ask questions." Zoro stated, just as curious as the rest of them.

"Well then lets go." Nami said as she walked towards the bar, the rest of the crew followed. By the time they reached it they became aware that no one could see or hear them, and that they could just pass through solid objects. They entered the bar, and it was full of pirates.

"Oh my god….dad." Usopp said, tears beginning to swell in his eyes. He looked at the man with the band that said Yassop laughing at a nearby table. "Luffy did say that he met my dad…" Usopp tried to touch him, but his hand just passed through. He gave up and joined the rest of the crew.

They all turned to the counter to see what they knew was a young Luffy, and next to him was a man with red hair and was wearing Luffy's straw hat.

"Red Hair Shanks. So this is one of the four emperors." Robin said. They all looked at the man they now knew was Luffy's childhood hero, and Luffy getting angry over the fact that Shanks tricked him into drinking juice. They all fought to hold back a laugh.

"She's cute!" Sanji blurted out, his eyes shaped like hearts as he ran over to Makino. Only now remembering that she couldn't see him.

They saw Luffy gain his gum-gum powers, Chopper, Brook and Robin remembering their own experiences.

What they saw next amazed them, one of the four emperors got beat up by a pathetic mountain bandit.

"Oh! I get why you and Luffy didn't fight back against Bellamy on Jaya. " Nami mentioned as she looked at Zoro, he giving her a slight nod back.

They all fought against the urge to attack the man who was dragging Luffy away and just followed him. They each gained more respect for Shanks as they watched him rescue Luffy, finally understanding why Luffy respects him so much.

"Huh. So that's how Luffy-san got his hat." Brook commented, each member now understanding why it was so important.

The entire scene became white again and there was a new light up ahead.

"I think this will be a good experience rather then bad. I believe we will gain a better understanding of Luffy this way, we will not let Till win." Sanji finally said after a long and awkward pause. They all agreed and walked into the new light. They stood in a forest path. Looking at again a young Luffy and a giant man dragged him somewhere he obviously didn't want to go.

"So that's Vice-Admiral Garp, only younger." Chopper said after he heard Luffy call him grandpa. Everyone except Brook, couldn't forget that face.

"Huh? Luffy's grandpa is a Vice-Admiral?" Brook said as he realized how little he knew, being the last to join.

"Yeah he almost caught us back in Water 7. He's a terrifying man." Usopp said.

"Wait….Hold on Usopp you weren't there when we met Garp!" Nami protested

"Uhhhh…" muttered Usopp realizing his secret was out. "I was kind of spying on you guys through the window."

"Haha typical Usopp" Robin commented.

They followed the scene up to the mountain, and slowly watched as it played itself out.

"What the hell? Who tries to make a marine out of someone when they leave him to be raised mountain bandits?" roared Nami.

"Well they certainly don't look like brothers yet." commented Zoro as he watched Ace knock Luffy off the bridge and into the bottom of the valley.

Sanji now felt a deep understanding for Luffy's need for food, as he watched him fight for it every night. "I think when this is all over and we kick Till's ass, I'm going to make a big dish of meat for Luffy."

Brook now felt totally left out, because as soon as he joined they were separated for two years. He only knew about some of the references the crew was making because of the ships log. He decided that this would be a good chance to learn as much as he could about his new nakama.

"Poor Luffy, I feel bad for him. He's only 7 right now." said Usopp, thinking about what he could do when he was 7...which was not much.

"Yes he's only 7 yet he can get through that jungle in a little over 3 months. When I was 8 I had a bounty of 79 million beri if you remember." Robin said calmly, as if none of these events were surprising to her.

Finally the scene started to slow down. The crew found them selves having to watch some wanna-be pirate beat their 7 year old captain to a bloody pulp.

Nami, tears swelling in her eyes, finally said "At least we know that he can keep a secret now." trying not to let out a whimper. Chopper was trying to bite Porchemy's leg off, but he just passed through.

After watching that scene for what felt like an eternity, Ace and Sabo came to rescue him.

"So... whose the other kid?" asked Franky. He and Brook and Robin knew about Luffy's brother Ace from the newspaper, Sabo wasn't mentioned anywhere.

"I don't know, I already told you Luffy has never really talked about his past or family." said Zoro, just as confused about who the blond kid was as the rest of them.

"I've got to say that I've never seen Luffy cry so much." stated Sanji.

"Well he is 7 Sanji and was just beaten up." commented Brook.

The crew just continued watching as Ace, Sabo and Luffy's friendship grew. Now understanding what Luffy meant when he said he could never beat Ace.

"Hahaha so Luffy knows what it means to control the backstreets of a city huh!" commented Franky as he watched the trio beat up ruffian after ruffian. Remembering his former occupation.

The crew kept gaining a deeper understanding of their captin as they watched his childhood play out.

"huh. So it's like the newspaper said, they were not actually brothers." said Robin as the crew watched the trio dink their cups of sake.

"I think the biggest issue here is that Luffy had TWO brothers. What happened to this kid? Usopp said, pointing out what everyone was thinking.

They all agreed as they could do nothing but watch their 7 year old captain declare his dream that they have all decided to help him accomplish: "I WILL BE KING OF THE PIRATES!"

There ya go! The reason I finished the second chapter so soon is that it was already half done when i posted the first chapter.

Please review!

I also fixed the errors in this chapter.
