CHAPTER 2: Training with Shanks

Everyone is at the docks as they watch Luffy take a step of the dock. Shanks starts to run but stops when he sees Luffy walking on the surface of the ocean. This shocks everyone. They watch as Luffy makes a wave big enough to take out the town and it lowers back into the ocean. They watch Luffy sink and see him start to walk on the ocean floor. He grabs a fish and surfaces. He raises his right hand and a black mist forms around his hand and a crewmember's sword flies to Luffy and he uses it to cut up the fish, then returns to the surface and walks onto the beach and everyone is shocked.

"Luffy I believe that you may be the strongest person alive." Shanks says.

"Thanks. Shanks is this normal?" Luffy asks releasing some haki and some crewmembers pass out and this shocks Shanks.

"No, that is conquers spirit. Only one in a million have it." Shanks says. "Anything else?"

"Yes. There is a group of bandits coming towards town." Luffy says.

"That is observation haki." Shanks says. Shanks does a test and is shocked that Luffy has all three forms of haki, but can't control them.

"I will help you to control your haki, but the Devil Fruit you have to learn on your own since I do not have one." Shanks says.

"Okay." Luffy says.

"Sir, let's go get the ship and tell the rest of the crew." Gunther says.

"Good idea. Shanks we will be back with my ship." Luffy says.

"Okay." Shanks says and the two leave. Shanks turns to his first mate. "Hey Ben what do you think Luffy's ship will like?"

"Well if he has a crew of 1,500 it must be a big ship." Ben says.

Thirty minutes later everyone is shocked to see a huge grey ship covered in guns approaching the docks with no sails. The ship easily dwarfs Shank's ship. They notice a huge white 61 on the bow of the ship. They see Luffy walk off with a few others.

"Luffy this is your ship?" Shanks asks.

"Yes. This is my ship. The battleship Iowa." Luffy says.

-Two years later-

The Iowa and Shank's ship return to Windmill Village.

"Shanks thank you for these past two years for training me and my crew." Luffy says.

"It was no problem Luffy." Shanks says.

"Good bye Shanks." Luffy says.

"Good bye Luffy and take care." Shanks says as he hugs Luffy.

"Will do." Luffy says. He walks up the gangway onto the Iowa.

"Alright let's shove off." Luffy says.

"Wait." Luffy, Gunther turn to see Makino walk up.

"Mother? What is it?" Luffy asks.

"Can I join you Lucifer?" Makino asks shocking the two men.

"Are you sure mother?" Luffy asks.

"Yes." Makino says.

"Alright mother you can come." Luffy says as his mother hugs him.

Luffy, Gunther and Makino walk onto the Iowa. Makino follows her son to his quarters.

"Mother there is someone that I want you to meet." Luffy says leading his mother into his living quarters.

"Okay."

"Iowa!" Luffy calls and a little girl with red hair and ocean blue eyes runs in from a smaller room.

"Yes daddy?" Iowa asks and Makino has wide eyes. Iowa notices Makino. "Daddy who is she?" Iowa asks.

"Iowa, sweety. This is your grandmother." Luffy says shocking Iowa.

"I have a grandma?" Iowa asks.

"Yes sweety." Luffy says. Iowa runs and hugs Makino's legs.

"Hello grandma!" Iowa says bringing Makino out of her stupor. She bends down and picks up Iowa and hugs her.

"Hello dear." Makino says.

Luffy walks onto the bridge and sits in his chair.

"What is the plan Admiral?" Gunther asks.

"To the Grand Line! We are joinning the Revolutionary Army for a year." Luffy says.

"Yes sir! All engines ahead full!" Gunther orders.

"Engines ahead full!" Dallas says.

A year goes by and the Iowa returns to East Blue. Luffy finds a deserted island to use as a temporary base in East Blue. He has the Iowa, Zephyr, and the Bainbridge dock in a cove. Luffy has been finding his fleet over the past three years and they are hidden at islands in the other oceans. He tells the crew that he is going to make his own pirate crew and has his boat called the Genesis prepped. It is raised up from the hangar to the deck, and the crew installs the three masts, since they are removable for when it is stored. The Genesis has three masts, two engines, an onboard generator for power, a galley, a store room, a hold that houses the generator and has extra parts, extra fuel and the fuel tanks that holds about a months' worth of fuel. The Genesis has four decks with living quarters. Luffy and Makino lower the sails and sets sail after saying good bye to the three crews.

*Boom!*

Luffy is woken up from his nap by the sound of cannon fire. He looks around and spots a ship being attacked by a pirate ship.

'Hmm that's the heart pirates. I am going to check it out.' Luffy thinks steering towards the two ships. The Genesis pulls alongside the ship being attacked and has not been spotted. He raises the sails and ties off to the passenger ship and climbs aboard. Luffy sees that they are holding all the passengers in the ball room and the pirates are collecting things from the passengers. Luffy walks into the kitchen. He turns to leave but hears someone coming. He looks around and spots a barrel and he climbs into it and puts the lid on. A minute later he hears someone walk into the kitchen.

"H-Hello?" A kid with pink hair and wearing glasses asks.

'No one is here. Whew, now what is there that I can steal?' The kid thinks. He spots a barrel and walks over to it and is surprised at its weight when he tries to lift it.

'Wow it is heavy and judging by the sloshing it is filled with booze. Alvida will be happy with me for a change.' The kid thinks, till three pirates walks in.

"Koby you little coward! Hiding again eh?" One asks.

"No! I found this barrel of booze for captain Alvida." Koby says.

"How about we have a little." A second says.

"Alvida will kill us!" Koby says.

"She won't if ya keep yer trap shut." The third says making Koby backing away in fear of the three.

'What was that?' Koby thinks after hearing what sounded like a laugh. The first pirate pulls the lid off and has a sour look on his face.

"Water?! Where is the damn booze!" He yells.

"That's too bad that you didn't get what you wanted. Sorry." They all hear. They look around then at the barrel and are shocked to see a face staring up at them. They watch as the water starts to take form which scares all four to see a young man now standing in front of them.

"Hello, who are you guys?" He asks.

"That's our line!" The three pirates say now mad.

"Hey kid do you know where some food is?" The young man asks startling Koby.

"Hey don't ignore us!" The three yell with swords drawn. The young man continues to ignore them.

"That's it! Get him!" The second says. All three leap to cut the guy to pieces and Koby looks away. Three gun shots are heard and the sound of metal hitting wood. Koby opens his eyes and removes his hands from his ears and sees the young man holding a smoking gun and three sword tips sticking into the ceiling and into the wall with three scared pirates.

"W-Who are you?" One of them asks.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy, a pirate." Luffy says putting the gun away. The three run away like a bat out of hell. Koby just stares.

"What is your name?" Luffy asks startling Koby.

"Ah! Please don't hurt me!" Koby says putting up his hands covering his face.

"Why would I do that? You didn't fight me." Luffy says.
