-East Blue: Dawn Island-

On a small sandy beach on Dawn Island, not too far away from Foosha Village, if someone bothered to look, they would find a little boy sitting alone, with his knees up to his chest.

The boy had shaggy grey and black hair that was covered by a large straw hat. Half of his face was covered in fresh blood that mingled with the tears that poured from his eyes. Speaking of his eyes, if one would look at them then they would discover that the boy's iris was an odd shade of pink. He was wearing a grey sleeveless shirt over a set of mesh armor, and on top of that he also wore a green poncho with a turquoise sash that wrapped around his waist. He also wore a pair of brown, mud-stained boots along with a small pouch attached to his waist.

This child was Monkey D. Luffy, the grandson of Monkey. D. Garp the famous marine who fought Gol D. Roger himself. Today Luffy was hiding from his grandfather, weeping, as the memories of his brother's death continuously repeated themselves before his eyes.

"Sabo, where are you!" Luffy hollered.

It had been a few days after the fire at the Grey Terminal, and Luffy and Ace had decided to look for their other "sworn" brother Sabo. After searching for him for hours they had decided to climb their secret tree in order to get a better view of the island. Of course, that had been an hour ago, and Luffy hadn't stopped shouting since.

"Sabo, ANSWER ME!"

"Shut up Luffy! If Sabo hasn't heard you since you've started yelling, what makes you think he'll hear you now?" Ace asked angrily.

Luffy's face pouted in anger at Ace's sarcastic question and he looked ready to yell back at his older brother, before he stopped. He had spotted something familiar in the distance, and squinted to try to get a better view of the thing he had seen.

"Hey, what's that boat doing over there Ace?" Luffy asked.

Ace turned his head to the direction that Luffy was pointing and did see something in the distance, but it too far away for him really see what it was. He then proceeded to reach into his bag and grab a telescope that he had brought with him before placing it over his eye.

The thing that Luffy had seen was indeed a small fishing boat, which confused Ace a little bit.

'How did Luffy see that?' Ace wondered.

While contemplating his brother's unusually strong senses, Ace was trying to focus his telescope on the person steering the boat. He let a small smile grow on his face when he saw a small child wearing a top hat near the boat's rudder.

"Hey Luffy, I found Sabo." Ace said.

Luffy's head whipped towards Ace.

"Really? Where is he?" Luffy asked.

Ace merely tossed his telescope over to Luffy so he could look through it. The smaller black-haired boy caught it expertly before he brought it up to one of his eyes, closing the other in an attempt to see better. He saw through the telescope that Sabo was sailing back towards the Grey Terminal, which made him very happy.

'Awesome! With Sabo back we can be brothers again!' Luffy thought with a grin.

Luffy then saw another, much larger ship enter the view of Ace's telescope, and it looked like it was heading towards Goa. The ship was many times larger than Sabo's small fishing vessel, though the larger boat wouldn't crash into Sabo's boat, since they were too far away from each other for that.

'It's a good thing that Sabo's out of that ships way, otherwise he could've been crus…' Luffy began to think, before he paused.

A Marine was on the large boat heading in the direction of Sabo's fishing vessel, and he looked to be pointing something at it. Luffy tried to increase the focus of Ace's telescope to see what was in the Marine's hands, and he frowned when it became crystal clear.

'Why was that Marine holding a bazooka, and why was he aiming it at Sabo's ship? His eyes widened as he realized what was going to happen. That Marine was going to fire his weapon at Sabo's boat!

Before Luffy could tell Ace, the Marine fired his bazooka at Sabo's ship. There was a massive explosion that consumed Sabo's ship, sending debris flying everywhere, before it started to settle. When it had finally settled, it revealed only Sabo's top-hat floating in the water.

"SABO!"

Since that day Luffy and Ace had changed. They had made a pact to each other, swearing that they would get stronger in order to protect each other, and avenge their dearly departed brother.

The pair trained from sunrise to sunset every single day, and slowly grew stronger as time passed. However, after three months had passed after Sabo's death, Ace had decided that it was time for his own adventure. Luffy knew he couldn't stop his brother from doing what he wanted, so, with a tearful goodbye, he saw his brother off.

Seeing Ace leave was very difficult for Luffy, but it didn't diminish his determination at all. He had redoubled his training efforts for the next month, preparing for his own adventure. Everything had been going very well, until yesterday.

Today Luffy had decided to learn how to use the throwing knives that Magra had given him as a present. The large, chicken-like man was sitting outside of Dadan's hideout, overseeing Luffy's training.

"Luffy, how many times have I told you to use your wrists when throwing your knives?" Magra asked.

He had just watched as Luffy threw a throwing knife, hilt first, into the ground; jamming it there.

Magra wondered how that was even possible.

"Luffy, the wrist! Use your WRIST!" Magra shouted.

"What do you think I've been trying to do for the last hour?" Luffy shouted back as he, unsuccessfully, threw another throwing knife.

"Hey Luffy! GUESS WHOSE BACK!"A familiar, deep baritone yelled out from the woods.

Luffy immediately turned around and saw the owner of the familiar voice. He ran over to the figure before he wrapped his arms around him in a hug.

"Grandpa."

Monkey D. Garp had returned from his latest marine mission and he had come back with news that would change how his grandson viewed him forever.

"So did you learn any new tricks while I was gone?" Garp asked.

Luffy smiled, He couldn't wait to show off his new skills to his grandpa, and hopefully impress him through his shear awesomeness.

"I sure did Grandpa! Magra here is teaching me how to use throwing knives!" Luffy said.

Garp eyed the discarded throwing knives that littered the field, taking note on how none of them were even close to any of the targets that Magra had set up for Luffy.

"I can see that Luffy." Garp said, before remembering the reason he wanted to see his grandson.

"Now Luffy, there's another reason why I came back here to see you. I decided that it's high time you get started on your training to become a great Marine, so I enrolled you into the Marineford Academy."

Luffy's face fell at hearing what his grandfather had said. Normally, he would've been annoyed at his grandfather's insistence that he become a marine, but because of Sabo's death at their hands his patience with his grandfather had worn through.

"But Grandpa, I've told you a million times that I don't want to become a Marine. I want to be the Pirate King and find One Piece!" Luffy stated.

Garp quickly became agitated at hearing his grandson's dream. Why couldn't the boy just accept the fact that he wasn't ever going to become a Pirate and that he would be a Marine instead?

"Now Luffy, it's time that you let that silly little dream of yours go and become the respectable Marine that you should be, not some sea-dog pirate like that "Red-Haired" Shanks fellow." Garp stated.

Hearing his grandfather not only insult his idol, but also callously dismiss his dream sent Luffy into a rage. He pushed himself away from his grandfather as his nails began to sharpen, and his teeth started to round.

"WHY SHOULD I BECOME A CORRUPT KILLER, LIKE A MARINE?" Luffy demanded angrily.

Upon his grandson's words, Garp was reminded of his own son's words to him when Garp had tried to make him into a Marine.

"Why should I become a Marine father? They hurt the citizens that they're supposed to protect and protect the corrupt World Nobles that they're supposed to try and stop. If anything, Marines are worse than the Pirates they fight."

The painful memories that his grandson's question invoked caused Garp's thin patience to run out. And when Garp lost his patience he usually hit whatever was closest to him, which in this case was his own grandson.

SMACK!

Due to his anger, Garp's blow sent Luffy flying further than he had meant to. It sent Luffy flying onto one of the discarded throwing knives that were sticking up from the ground.

SLICE!

"!"

Luffy clutched the left side of his face, a steady amount of blood leaking through his fingers. It was his scream that brought Dadan out of the shack to investigate what was going on.

"Hey, what's going on out…? OH MY KAMI! LUFFY!"

Dadan rushed to Luffy's side in order to check his injuries. When she managed to see the injury on Luffy's face that Garp had caused, she turned to him with a malevolent glare in her eyes.

"GARP! WHAT DID YOU DO TO LUFFY?" Dadan demanded.

Garp was stunned at what he had just done, he never meant to seriously harm his own grandson; all he wanted to do was to knock some sense into the boy.

"I… I-I didn't mean to." Garp stammered out.

Garp's answer only served to make Dadan angrier.

"YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO? LOOK AT YOUR GRANDSON GARP!" Dadan screamed. "YOU DID THIS TO HIM!"

Seeing that Dadan was right, and that his grandson needed medical attention, Garp started to make his way towards Luffy so that he could pick him up.

Luffy looked out through his one uncovered eye to see that his grandfather was making his way towards him. Fueled by the adrenaline in his system, and his current pain, Luffy made a hasty decision. He escaped from Dadan's embrace and he started running towards the forest. He pushed Magra out of the way as the man tried to stop him, before he sprinted into the dense foliage.

Garp could feel his heart break as he watched his grandson run away from him in fear; he couldn't even go after him. All Garp could do was stare at the knife that was covered in his grandson's blood.

Luffy had run for hours before he finally found himself at the beach. He had made sure that no one had followed him, so he was safe for now. Deciding that it was time to clear the blood from his face Luffy managed to stand on his feet.

He made his way over to a nearby stream before lowering himself down at the water line. He splashed the cool water onto his face to clear the remaining blood from it. He repeated this process over and over until the blood had been completely washed off. He stopped for a second when he saw his new reflection.

He found himself surprised to see that his injury had already healed over in the small amount of time since he got it. It had formed into another scar that ran from his eye to his jaw, crossing through the other scar that was underneath his left eye.

After looking at his new scar for a few seconds, Luffy decided that it was time to move. He made his way back to his feet before he started walking over to a nearby cliff that created the cove for the beach. When he reached the cliffs base he started hiking up one of the many trails that lead to the summit.

When he made it to the top of the cliff, he merely stood at the edge of it and watched as the ocean's waves rolled by. After a while he made his decision and stepped over the edge, and begins his plunge towards the water.

As he fell closer and closer to the churning waves, Luffy remembered a song that Sabo had taught him shortly before he had died.

"Yo Ho, Yo Ho. A pirate's life for me…"

SPLASH

Luffy hit the water and almost immediately sank underneath the turbulent waters. Everything was quiet; as it appeared that the future "Pirate King" had jumped to his death.

That was until three large and armored, shrimp-like tails rose from the depths of the ocean, sending forth sprays of sea-water in every direction as they seemed to dance in the air. These tails sank back into the water before a large shape arose from the ocean, revealing to the world what Luffy had become.

It had the general shape of a large turtle but it was twisted and wrong. It was the size of a large elephant and it had an even larger shell on its back. The shell was odd; it appeared to be made of something similar to a crabs shell. The armor from the shell extended to cover all of its limbs. It had no legs, but it did have two large muscular arms that, oddly enough had a pair of hands with four fingers and an opposable thumb on each. Its underbelly was crimson red with black vertical lines that ran across his body from the tip of his tails to the bottom of his jaw.

Its head was the most horrifying part of the beast; its face was coved with spikes that looked like they were made from the sharpest coral. It had one of its eyes closed but the other one was something straight from a nightmare. The monster's scalar was like the void, draining the very life and hope of anyone who dared look at it, and its iris was as red as freshly drawn blood. It breached the surface for a moment before it began to swim out to sea, all the while humming a soft tune in its demonic voice.

"Drink up me hearties, Yo Ho!"

XXX Five weeks later XXX

It had been five weeks since Luffy had departed from Darn Island, and ever since then he had been training to use the body that his Devil Fruit gave him. He had learned to swim with it more proficiently as the days past, but he had not mastered any of the offensive abilities that his new form possessed.

To learn how to use his more battle oriented abilities, Luffy had swum to the Calm Belt to fight the numerous Sea Kings that dwelled there. After fighting with creatures that were many times larger than him, Luffy had uncovered what his new form was capable of.

During one particularly harsh battle he discovered that he could control the water of the ocean. At first he wasn't able to exert any real control over it, but after a few days of practice, he had managed to redirect ocean currents and create new ones, though this exhausted him considerably. Luffy had also discovered that his new body had given him incredible brute strength. In his fights with the Sea Kings, he had been able to send most of them swimming away after a few punches.

The only weakness that his form seemed to have was the fact that his form lacked any legs; if he tried to use his full release form on dry land then he would be as slow as any other turtle on land.

'I've spent enough time in the Calm Belt.' Luffy thought as he casually swam next to a large school of Sea Kings, which ignored his presence.

'Perhaps it's time that I moved on'

With that thought in mind, Luffy began his assent to the ocean's surface, using his shrimp-like tails to propel himself faster. He stopped when he saw something floating directly above him.

'What is that thing?' Luffy thought.

Not wanting to alert whatever that thing was to his presence, Luffy swam a couple hundred meters away before his head breached the surface of the water, and allowed him to clearly see the thing that was floating.

What he saw nearly made him lose control over himself.

It was a large ship that bore the flag of a Marine vessel, but it was what was emblazoned on that flag that made Luffy's blood boil. It was a hoof print with three clawed toes, the sign of the Celestial Dragons. This was the vessel that had destroyed Sabo's small fishing boat, killing Sabo in the process.

Luffy ducked his head back into the water before he dived deeper into the ocean. He then began to swim as fast as he could towards the ship, his mind becoming consumed by an unholy rage.

'These are the people that killed Sabo! These Marines, so-called servants of "Justice", killed him for no reason! They should just DIE! They should feel FEAR and HOPELESSNESS as their time on this earth comes to an end! And I am going to be the one who's going to do it!'

As Luffy's rage grew, his body grew larger. He was once the size of an elephant, but because of his rage, he had grown to match even the largest Sea King in size. However, even as he stopped growing, his rage did not. As he drew closer to the ship, Luffy never noticed that the water around him began to change colors into an emerald green.

-Calm Belt: Ship-

Vice-Admiral Kiba Taicho sighed for what felt to be the millionth time as he was forced to listen to the endless complaints and rattling of the ship's only non-marine passenger, a Celestial Dragon by the name of Uchiha Sasuke.

For any other Marine, transporting such an important World Noble would've been considered a monumentally important mission. For Kiba, it was hell on Earth.

In Kiba's personal opinion, there was a way that any person could classify a Celestial Dragon. First off, they're not fat, as that would've been an insult to fat people everywhere. Instead, they were "shapes". They never stayed as one single consistency, and they were as ugly as stuff found in the sewers.

The only way that they can keep their vaguely humanoid appearance by wear something that looks like a colorblind alien threw away. They had personalities that matched their appearance; honestly no normal human can act like these people and be considered sane. They act like spoiled, whiny brats who get away with whatever they want because their ancestors were important.

It didn't help that the marines actively encouraged the walking pieces of excrements to do whatever the hell they wanted.

"You, peasant, make this ship go faster. I wish to return to the Saboady Archipelago; there is a sale on Fishmen and Mermaids there I do not wish to miss." Sasuke demanded.

Kiba merely grumbled underneath his breath, and blocked out Sasuke's demands as he steered the brat's ship. After a few minutes, he started to notice something weird was going on; the water around the ship was turning a brilliant, emerald-green color.

"What the hell?" All of a sudden, the ship lurched before it came to a complete stop. This abrupt change sent most of the crew flying into a nearby wall, or any other furniture that might be in the way.

"What the hell just happened?" Kiba marched over to a Den Den Mushi, and used it to contact the officers on the engineering levels.

"Kiba to engineering… What the hell happened down there?"

The small snail opened its eyes and responded to Kiba, in the exact voice of the Head Engineer.

"Engineering team to bridge, the rudder has been torn off! We aren't aware of what did it, but it had to be something big!"

That statement stunned Kiba for a few moments before he calmed himself down and began to think. This ship was outfitted with a sea-stone bottom, which would deter even the mightiest Sea-Kings from approaching, as it naturally repelled them. So what could've done it then?

Unfortunately, the Tenryūbito brat that Kiba was guarding chose this moment to remind everyone that he was still alive, and his anger at the current situation.

"You stupid peasant! Do you have any fathomable idea of just who I am? I am a Tenryūbito, and as such my blood is that of the Twenty Kings that created the World Government! If you don't get this ship moving, I will have you executed!" Sasuke shouted.

The Vice-Admiral was about to try and calm down the ranting Tenryūbito brat, however he never got the chance to. He noticed a thick, green mist was rolling in towards his boat, which confused him. Where had this sudden mist come from, and what was with it's strange color?

"Vice-Admiral Kiba, this mist… it's just not natural, sir!" A scared Marine exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Kiba was about to berate the young officer when he saw something emerge from the thick mist that had consumed his vessel. When this object drew near to the boat, the more inexperienced Marines began to scream out of pure fear.

The object was actually a small fishing boat that looked to have been gutted by a cannonball, with a few fires still burning on its surface. However, that was not what had frightened Kiba's Marines, it was the obvious captain of that vessel that did.

The being's face was hidden within the shadows of his cloak's hood, though every Marine knew that he was staring at them. As the boat sailed closer, the captain lifted one of his arms. The Marines screamed in fear as the hand came into the dim light, revealing it to be simple white bone.

In the thoughts of the Marines, they thought that boat's captain was Death himself. It then spoke in a slow, rattling voice that sent shivers up the Marines' spines.

"It's time for you all to pay that debt that all men owe…"

What that simple statement, all Hell broke loose.

The ship gave another startling lurch, throwing several Marines off of the boat, screaming in pure terror as they did so. Kiba barked out an order for all men to get to their battle stations, and to secure themselves down, but he was too late.

Three massive shadows blotted out the dim light, causing some Marines to scream. Kiba turned around and could feel his heart stop as he watched three demonic, shrimp-like tails emerge from the ocean. His Marines began to shoot at the three tails, but it no good as the bullets ricocheted off of the tails, and sent them into a frenzy.

The three tails began to thrash about, crushing anything underneath them. People screamed as their comrades were crushed, before one tail wrapped around the mast and constricted.

Kiba could hear the mast groan underneath the strength of that tail before a massive "crack"-like sound filled the air, seconds before the tail released the mast. The mast then fell onto the ship, crushing a few Marines that had stood underneath it and sending debris flying into the air.

Just as Kiba was about to give up hope, the tails stopped their destructive rampage. They then slithered back into the ocean, leaving the ship alone in the green mist.

Not looking a gift horse in the mouth, Kiba began barking orders. He told his crew to scavenge for as much supplies as they would be able to fit onto their lifeboats. They were going to have to abandon the ship and take the lifeboats, as the ship was too damaged to sail now.

"No you're not." Sasuke said, crossing his fat arms. "All of my things are on this ship, so we can't abandon it!"

Kiba really wanted to smack some sense into the brat, but didn't. It was a crime to hit one of the Tenryūbito, though he was feeling tempted to do it anyway.

"But Uchiha-sama, if that thing comes back we'll be sitting ducks. We need to evacuate and get as much distance as possible!" Kiba responded.

The Tenryūbito scoffed, "As if such a stupid animal as that would dare harm me! I have the blood of the Twenty Kings following inside of me, and as such, I am better than such a mere beast."

Kiba was going to punch the self-centered brat when he caught sight of something emerging from the ocean. If the shadow was anything to go by, then the monster itself would be larger than most Sea-Kings, if that was even possible.

His eyes widened in horror as the beast breached, 'A demon… It's a demon!'

The thing was some kind of demonic turtle, straight from the bowls of hell itself. It looked over the ship for a moment before it opened its horrible mouth and released a soul-splitting scream.

From the demon's outstretched jaws, a ball of pure darkness began to form. Even from his distance away from the horrific beast, he could feel the massive amount of demonic power that was present inside that orb.

"Uchiha-sama, we have to get out of here NOW!"

"No, I-"

The demonic turtle swallowed the ball of pure darkness, before its body began to swell. Kiba grabbed the back of the irritating Tenryūbito's coat before he raced towards the edge of the boat, knowing that he only has a few moments at the best.

"Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball)!"

A blast of pure destructive power flew from the demon's mouth and burned the sea as it ventured closer to the ship. In moments it had consumed the ship, and Vice-Admiral Kiba's life ended after two seconds of pure agony.

'Yes, they're dead. Sabo's avenged.'

After he had destroyed the source of his sudden rage, the red haze that had covered Luffy's mind began to recede. He began to shrink as his anger dissipated until he had returned to his normal, elephant-size.

It was when the haze around his mind faded, and he was able to think coherently, that Luffy realized just what he had done in his anger.

'W-what have I-I done?' Luffy thought, horrified.

The once grandiose ship that had housed Sabo's murderer had over 75% of its hull vaporized by his attack. The remaining 25% of the ruined boat was just now beginning to sink, flames flickering all over its surface as smoke wafted into the air.

Littered throughout the area besides the remains of the ship were the bodies of the ship's crew. Each of them appeared to have tried to avoid his attack by diving into the water, but that hadn't saved them. His attack had caused the ocean's temperature, in that area, to rise to over 200 degrees.

They had been killed by the boiling water, like how a crab or lobster was killed by placing the creatures into a boiling pot.

'I… I-I need to get o-out of here…!'

Luffy quickly dived back beneath the surface of the ocean and swam away from the tragedy he had caused as fast as he could. He didn't know where he was going as his mind continued to show him what he had done, and his guilt overwhelmed him. He just wanted to get away.

However, if he had stayed near the wreckage he had created, he would've seen a small lifeboat drifting away from the formerly grandiose ship. A single passenger was in this lifeboat, along with the Den-Den Mushi that had once belonged to Vice-Admiral Kiba.

"This… this is Petty-Officer Sharp…" The burned man coughed, before he brought the Den-Den Mushi closer. "… Connect me to Central… I have s-something… important to tell them."
