Straw Hat luffy

Summary: what if luffy never ate the Gomu Gomu no mi instead shanks and his crew take him on their ship for 10 years, during this time he eats another fruit. (Ace is still his older brother)

Chapter 3: crew members

"I'm hungry!!!" whined Luffy

"Well you wouldn't be if you hadn't forgot to pack food on the ship, seriously I thought you were a pirate." Berated Zoro

"I am honest but on my old ship the only thing I did was fight."

"Your old ship?" questioned Zoro

"Well yeh. I thought I told you. Up until a few weeks ago I was on a different crew but then my captain said it was time for me to strike out on my own so he let me go." Answered Luffy

"Who was your captain?"

"Oh his name is Shanks, 'red hair' shanks one of the Yonko. He's pretty famous"

"You sailed with one of the Yonko!!!" exclaimed Zoro

"Of course who do you think taught me how to fight" said Luffy thumping his chest

"Well that's strange, anyway captain do you know where were going?" asked Zoro

"Not a clue." Answered Luffy unblinkingly

'Sigh…'

"Well where ever we are going were gona get there quick… hold on tight Zoro because were going for a ride" said Luffy

"Kaze Kaze no gale force blast!"


Everything was normal for the Buggy pirates when...BAM! Another ship about the size of theres arrived out of the blue and slammed into the big top.

"I think I used to much wind." Said a voice from the rubble "you ok Zoro"

"No I'm not ok! My captain is an idiot!" yelled another voice

"at least were on land now." Said the first voice as the remains of the ships were sliced into bits and two men jumped out.

'Oh-no what did I do to shanks for him to send this guy' thought Buggy as he recognized the taller of the two men in front of him completely forgetting about the woman he was about to kill with the Buggy ball.

"Eh Buggy is that you?!" asked Luffy seeing a dumbfounded nod

"It really is you! Hey Zoro this is my old friend Buggy he was on Gold Rogers ship with Shanks." Said luffy

"This calls for a party!" yelled Buggy

Later that night Luffy, Buggy and Zoro were talking in hushed tones

"you want me to join you guys after all the damage you caused to my ship" whispered Buggy harshly

"Well once we get enough crew members were heading for the Grand Line and the One Piece." Said Luffy

"So was I" said buggy

"Buggy do you honestly think that your crew could make it through the Grand Line, from what I've seen Zoro could kill them all easily if he wasn't hurt."

"Fine I will follow you but we'll need a navigator, a cook and a new ship" said Buggy

"Great!" yelled luffy

"Excuse me" said a quiet voice startling them. They turned and saw that they had had there entire conversation next to the cage that Buggy had trapped a woman in.

"Hey Buggy who's this?" Asked Zoro

"Just some woman that I caught trying to steal from me" Answered the red nosed pirate

"My name is Nami" said the Orange haird girl "and I'm a navigator"

"What you want to join our crew?" asked Zoro

"I hate pirates but I say we form a temporary alliance" said Nami

Later that night all four of them slipped away in a small rowboat.

Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Buggy landed on a island not far from Buggy's old crew in search of a ship to replace the one Luffy wrecked. When the crew disembarked they were confronted by a teen around Luffys age holding a slingshot and three other kids that looked to be about six years old.

"Hold it right there pirates!" yelled all four of the kids at the same time while hideing behind a outcropping of rocks

"Why should we?" said Buggy drawing his knifes

"Because I'm the great captain Usopp and me and my eight thousand men will crush you!" cried the teen

"Eight thousand!" yelled luffy with stars in his eyes

'He's obviously lying' thought everyone else

"Listen were not here to cause trouble we just want to get a ship" reasoned Nami "do you know where we could get one?"

"Yah I know about a ship on this island but it belongs to Kaya the girl who lives in the mansion at the top of the hill, come on but I can only take one of you there" said Usopp

"Well I'm the captain so I should go. Zoro, Buggy, Nami, you three search the island to make sure that it's not a trap" said Luffy only saying the first sentence loud enough for everyone to hear

"Captain were should we meet up?" asked Zoro

"We meet up here in an hour" said luffy as his crew split up


Nami was walking along the beach in search of any other ships that might be on the island that Usopp might not know about, when she came upon a small ship and a man laying on the sand.

The man wore an old marine uniform that had its shoulder patches torn off, he was badly injured two deep cuts on his prominent chin and what appeared to be multiple stab wounds that for some reason had been cauterized (burned shut to stop the bleeding).

Nami had already begun to treat his wounds when he woke up.

"uugh, who are –cough- you?" asked the man

"My name is Nami, who are you and what happened to you?" asked the navigator

"My name is Drake X former marine Rear Admiral –cough- I left the marines to see the other side but they caught up to me" said the man before he went into another fit of coughing.

"it's ok rest for now while I treat your wounds" said Nami

'This guy could realy get a lot of treasure for me if he teamed up with luffy and the others' thought Nami to herself


Usopp sat on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean and the beach, he let out a startled cry as Luffy swung down from the tree next to him.

"So this is where you're hiding" said Luffy

"Never scare me like that again!!!" yelled Usopp who was still scared out of his mind

"Is your father a man named Yasopp?" asked luffy remembering everything the butler said to Usopp

"EH? How'd you know?!" asked a still startled Usopp

"I was on the same ship as he was for 10 years as a member of the red haired pirates." Answered Luffy

"You sailed with my dad?!"

"Yes, you look a lot like him" said Luffy

"do you know where he is?" asked Usopp

"no, but he's with Shanks for sure"

"so he's with Shanks… Did you say Shanks?!?!"

"you know shanks to?" asked Luffy

"sure he's a very famous pirate! You and my dad were on the same ship as him?!?! Asked Usopp who hadn't known who his dad was with

"yea your dads great he even taught me to shoot and I've never seen him miss a target, he's a great pirate." Said Luffy

"You think so too? That man has insulted me and my father." Said Usopp thinking of the butler

"are you ever going to see that girl again?" asked Luffy

"If that butler apologizes to me."

"Hey, isn't that the butler?" asked Luffy as he pointed down on the beach

"Yea, what's he doing here?"

"He's with some weirdo." Said Luffy

"I don't know I've never seen him before"

"You've planed everything, right?" they over heard the butler ask

"Sure captain Kuro I can begin anytime, the plan to kill the mansion owner" said the weird guy

"good just remember to hypnotize her to write her will saying that she leaves all her assets to Kurahadol" said the butler

"come on Usopp we should warn the others" whispered Luffy sneaking back from the cliff


Done at last that one took a while even when I was on vacation.
