One Piece The All New Straw Hats Chapter 3
This chapter will focus on both the tellings of Volk's and Dell's past, as well as being the start of the Torksa Island Arc. This arc will introduce the arrival of the second mate, then almost immediately after that the sniper of the crew. Anyways, let start this chapter, after the disclaimer is stated.
Updated: 30th November 2012
Hi! I updated this chapter because I felt Volk's backstory needed to have more detail to it, and also I received a review that gave a critical response. Dell's backstory didn't need to be explained to full detail, since the main view was on Volk's. Anyway, enjoy to updated version of this!
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece. However, I own Volk.
Volk's Narration: Volk's and Dell's Past! The Persecuted Grandson and the Troubled Child!
'Hey, Volk. Where's all the apples?' Dell asked Volk.
'Oh, I ate them up! To be honest, meat's better!' the gluttonous Straw Hat man replied.
'What do you mean you ate it, you greedy bastard?!' the clearly angry 1,000MPH man retorted.
'I meant by I ate it!' he happily replied, 'Now, would you happen to have more food- along the lines of meat?'
Dell immediately gained a stress mark upon that request, and replied using his fist, punching Volk, saying, 'Do I look like a chef to you, you pig!?'
The Straw Hat Volk was wearing then flew off his head, and into the distance. Volk and Dell looked in the distance, in major surprisement.
'You have a spare, don't you?' Dell nervously asked, as the Heat Heat man started to heat up.
5 minutes later...
'If you dare touch one of the most prized possessions I have without my permission again, your face will be pushed so far your ass you won't be able to see again!' the 1,000 Degrees Man exclaimed as he took the Straw Hat from Dell's hand, the man being on the floor of the boat, beaten up.
'I..I..I'm sorry...', Dell said remorsefully, as his beat up body failed to get up.
'Good. This hat comes with a story. This is not just any Straw Hat. It was owned by the 2 late Pirate Kings, Monkey D. Luffy and Gol D. Roger', Volk explained, 'It was given to me, by my gramps, Luffy, before he died. This formed the basic symbol of my ambitions. That's why I got angry at you punching it away.'
'Oh. You're the King of the Pirates' grandson?'
'Yeah...While there's time, do you mind me explaining my past', Volk asked.
'Yeah, sure. But first, can I explain mine?' the man with the sledgehammer replied.
'Ok, sure.'
'Thanks. Now where do I start from? Oh yeah- I was born in South Blue, but got an escort by the Marines, and moved to East Blue. My hometown was Ronrain Island. I was your average, normal dude until at 14, when my mother was raped and murdered in front of me by some Marines, who seemed to be high. I ran away and became hellbent in avenging my mother's death. That was when I escaped the island, en route to Drimmarta, a large island, with a city of blacksmiths as well as being another Marine base.'
'I met some guy who agreed to help him and gave him the Jet Jet fruit. With my newfound power, I earnt money and trained under a blacksmith by the name of Hammer, for 6 years. Unfortunately, a day came when the Marines had found out about this and they killed Hammer as well. Enraged, I forged Hammer's hammers and trained for 4 years. When I met you I was actually about to start raiding Marine Bases and then eventually wipe them out.'
'Seems like a rough past', Volk complimented.
'You don't even know the half of it', Dell replied.
'Well, here's my story:'
'I was born in East Blue, and brought up in a place called the Omelen Island, a group of united islands in a circle, with the largest island in the middle and with a hole so travellers could get through to the main islands. I lived in the middle island, an island called Mesuls Island, in a coast city called Talen D.C. Around the time of the Futus incident, my grandfather, Pirate King Monkey D. Luffy, died in suceeding to link Futus and Earth together.'
'I don't wanna go! Gramps is dying and you want me to just to stay here lazing around while he dies?!' the young Volk screamed. He and Monkey D. Perlin (or Arain D. Perlin), his mother, were fortunately in one of the evacuation islands the Marines had told various people in different islands around the Blue Sea.
'It'll be OK, Volk. This is for the best. Your grandfather wants this for you and only you. Because he's the Pirate King, he knows his what future lies ahead for his predecessor, 'the young boy's mother said,'It was the same for Gol D. Roger. When Luffy got to Raftel, Gol D. Roger's spirit engulfed Luffy and informed him about him being the true and officially, the first ever Pirate King. He also informed him who was the heir to the throne, and after that. He told me that the next Pirate King is you, Marshall! He told me personally. I know you guys had a very close relationship, but today's his time to leave us.'
'No! I'm no-ot letting him go! He can't go!' Marshall screamed, immediately breaking into tears of withdrawal symptoms (in this case, from Luffy).
'Monkey D. Marshall! Stop shouting at your mother and stop crying for goodness sake!' a voice that came from above yelled.
Both of them looked up in wonder, as they saw an injured, aged man flying down onto the ground. He wore long coat that draped over his shoulders, a straw hat, a scarf on his neck. He also wore a sash on blue jean trousers, with sandals, as well as a white long- sleeved shirt under a red vest. His wrinkles depicted he was of old age.
'Luffy...'
'Gramps!' the emotional young man said in joy, while still shedding tears,'Tell my mom you're not gonna sacrifice yourself just to save this world! There are others who can waste their live on that! But not you of all people, Gramps!'
'Look Volk', the humble yet insane old Pirate King calmly replied,' I'm the only one who's strong enough to save everyone. Even the strong Pirate Hunter Zoro or the pereverted Black Leg Sanji...'
Elsewhere...
'Atchoo!' Sanji shouted.
'You're not coming down with a cold, are you, Number 7?' Zoro asked.
'What did you say, shitty marimo?!' the perverted cook retorted.
'Oh sorry, I didn't hear you...Number 7', the 'shitty marimo' replied.
'I never knew you were deaf, shitty swordsman!'
'What did you say dumbass cook/ marimo?!' the two men replied, as they engaged in a fierce close combat.
And back to Mesuls Island...
'..or even Emperor Admiral Coby or Helmeppo can fufill this deed. Don't be selfish, Marshall. I'm doing this only for the people of world, never for myself, or at anyone's will. For the world to exist until the end of time itself.'
'You don't know how lonely I feel without them Gramps! One brother is with Dad, and another is somewhere the bloody else!'
His mother snappily retorted, 'Language, young man! Language!'
'Volk. Volk. Volk. Volk! VOLK! VOLK!' the old man shouted, simultaneously as the young Marshall continued, still teary, under the Straw Hat's voice,'It's like nobody's listening to me, or taking in that I want you to stay-'
'Look, Marshall, I want you stay in the Omelen Islands for 10 years. Then I want you to leave the island and set off on your journey. I want you to become the Pirate King, and since I'm gonna die, I wanna give you this Straw Hat, to keep. Don't lose it!' the, now soon to be late Pirate King said, which continued the tradition of giving Straw Hats. His Straw Hat seemed to still look in mint condition, even after years of usage.
Straw Hat then took off the famous hat and put it on his young grandson's head, in which the young boy's tears that had just subsided had come back.
'Perlin, good luck. Take dear care of Volk here', Luffy said, as he grabbed the nearest building and used Gum- Gum Rocket to fly through the sky to space.
10 Minutes Later..…
'Urgent News: While succeeding in linking both Earth and the parallel planet, Futus, the famed Monkey D. Luffy died in fulfilling this life-threatening task. Before he brought both of the planets together with a powerful Gum Gum Ultimate Giant Pistol, Luffy spoke his final words:'
'Hello pirates of the world!
There is a treasure among your dreams,
waiting for you in the Blue Sea, and that's the One Piece! You just have to find it, though!
Myself and my crew put it in a hidden island among what would be the Grand Line from now!
So get searching!
Shishishishishi!
Well I've enjoyed my reign, but it's time to step down! I await you, the next Pirate King!'
'Then afterwards, the impact of the two planets caused a black hole, which eventually subsided. Turn to Channel 3 for more.'
'Then after a period of time, I started training strictly for 10 years, and then that's when I left Talen D.C.'
'Hmmm. That place's behind the Inclemal Triangle, right? Must have been a miracle to get to Shells Town. You surely went through a lot. Losing your grandfather, being alone, without your brothers, or your dad', Dell said.
'Wait! There's an island!' the youthful Devil Fruit user said.
'So an island's just ahead of us...', Dell sweatdropped as soon as Volk focused his his attention on the next island.'
'Let's go!'
A man standing on top of a ledge looked at Volk and Dell as they neared towards the island. He had straight silver hair that reached half his back, ocean blue eyes, was 5'7.7 tall, and a slim, lean body. He wore a dark green loose t-shirt, grey jeans and black and white sneakers.
He stared sharply at them, as they stepped on to the island, the duo of pirates not even noticing the unidentified man yet.
'I'm gonna kill you, Monkey D. Marshall...'
Elsewhere...
A woman on a higher cliff from where the silver haired man stood held out a gun and aimed it at him, saying, 'I've got you now, Kurotsuki Ijin! Silent...'
TO BE CONTINUED
'...Killer!'
And that's a wrap, people of the Fanfiction world! If you're asking about Volk's father, he is M.I.A, that is, for a short period of time, and will be show up, around the time the crew heads out to Paradise. One of Volk's brother will be joining him, and the other will have his own pirate crew. Next Chapter: Volk and Dell enter Torksa Island! The man you knew from the cliff is Kurotsuki Ijin. He confronts our heroes, with a weird power of his (he can control things by pulling or pushing them!) And who is that mysterious girl from before?
