A/N: I don't own One Piece

It had been seven years since Garp had stopped training the, since them Luffy had gone through some good time and some bad times. Soon after Garp left Sabo was kidnapped by his family and Luffy was nearly killed, in order to save his brothers Sabo attempted to set sail only to be killed by one of the Celestial Dragons who was visiting the nearby Goa Kingdom. After this Ace and Luffy grew even closer with Ace becoming an overprotective brother and both of them pushing themselves to the limits.

Ace had set off on his own journey three years ago when he was 17, from what Luffy had heard Ace had made a name for himself. He was going by Fire-Fist Ace and had a bounty of 550,000,000 beli on his head, a bounty Luffy planned to surpass.

He was saying goodbye to the villagers as he stepped onto his small dingy, he noticed Dadan and the rest of the mountain bandits crying behind a building and smiled. He may not like mountain bandits but he like them, they were his family after all. Luffy was looking forward to sailing on the Grand Line after all the stories Shanks had told him, but he knew he shouldn't rush it, he knew that he needed some strong crew members.

A lot had changed since Garp left, Luffy had grown to six-foot-tall and has short, messy black hair. He has a scar with two stitches underneath his left eye and wears short, blue trousers with cuffs, sandals and a sleeveless red vest. He also has his Straw Hat on his head and wears a red sash around his waist which hold his blade, the Stormbringer.

"Goodbye, Foosha Village" Luffy yelled as he left the small dock attached to the village.

As Luffy set out from the village a sea monster arose from the ocean, but with one look from Luffy it quickly went back under the water. Luffy continued to sail until he came across a whirlpool and realized that no matter how hard he tried to steer the small fishing boat away from the whirlpool it just kept getting closer. So, with a shrug of his shoulders Luffy took to the sky with Geppo and started to use his Kenbunshoku Haki to locate somewhere he could land.

It didn't take long for the boy with the Straw Hat to find a nearby Cruise Ship, he landed on the deck and noticed their panicked looks as they looked out at the sea. He looked in the direction they were all looking at and noticed a pirate ship heading towards the cruise ship. He smiled as he noticed the Jolly Roger on the ship, a skull depicted sideways that has a pink heart on it and the cross bones behind it. He knew who sailed under that flag, "Iron Mace" Alvida who has a 5,000,000 beli bounty. He was happy that Shanks had told him to keep an eye on the bounties in the East Blue as he knew who his crew should watch out for and this is one he didn't really have to worry about.

It didn't take long for Alvida's ship to arrive next to the cruise ship and her pirates start to board the cruise ship. Luffy quickly jumped into action and quickly hooked the first pirate that boarded the ship knocking the man out cold. He continued on to the second man who stepped foot on the boat and delivered a blow to his stomach that sent him flying back and knocked some of the men off the platform behind him.

Luffy smiled as all the men charged him at once, he lifted his leg and sent a kick through the air which resulted sharp blade of compressed air being sent at the crew. Luffy was happy as he watched his Rankyaku hit Alvida's crew and sent them all flying back knocked out.

"Weak" Luffy muttered as he started to look for their captain.

"Who did this" a voice roared and Luffy turned around to look at Alvida.

Alvida is a tall and very obese woman with long wavy black hair, and freckles on her cheeks. She wore a white cowgirl hat with a large red plume, a red neckerchief, a pink plaid shirt, and a blue captain's coat over it with the arms in the sleeves unlike many other pirates. She wore rings on her fingers and her long sharp fingernails had red polish. She had a purple sash with a flintlock pistol tucked in it and some jewels. She also wore graying pants and red shoes with gold buckles.

"Boy" She roared as she looked at Luffy, "did you do this".

"I did" Luffy replied with a smile, "quite easily as well".

"Why you" Alvida yelled as she charged Luffy with her mace held high.

Luffy just smirked as the large lady ran at him, he stood still as she approached him and lifted her mace above her head. Luffy reacted then and delivered a single punch to her stomach causing her to bend down holding her stomach surprised the boy has such power behind a single punch. Luffy then pulled his leg back and kicked the woman as hard as he could sending her flying from her boat and over the ocean.

"That was easy" Luffy stated in disappointment, "hopefully she has some food".

Luffy walked onto Alvida's ship and found his way down to where she stocked her food only to find a small boy cowering behind a barrel.

"Who are you" the boy asked.

"Monkey D. Luffy" Luffy replied as he smiled at the boy, "who are you".

"I'm Coby" Coby replied.

Coby was a small, timid, chubby boy with pink hair and round-frame glasses. Coby wears a white shirt with two blue stripes down the sleeves, a pair of black trousers and red and white shoes.

"What are you doing down here" Coby asked.

"I'm looking for food" Luffy replied.

"You should run, if Alvida finds you she will kill you" Coby warned in fear.

"Don't worry about her" Luffy replied, "I beat her".

"You what" Coby screamed in surprise, "but how".

"She was weak" Luffy replied, "if the future Pirate King couldn't beat her something is wrong".

"Pirate King" Coby screamed.

"Yes, that's my dream" Luffy replied with a large smile on his face.

"That's impossible" Coby yelled, "impossible, impossible".

"Shut up" Luffy yelled as he punched Coby in the head, "don't doubt my dream, I'll complete no matter what and if I die I die".

"Then do you think I could fulfil my dream" Coby asked timidly.

"Of course, you could" Luffy replied as he smiled at the man, "what is your dream".

"I want to be a marine" Coby yelled.

"That's a nice dream" Luffy replied, "I'll help you if you can navigate".

"I can" Coby replied, "but how can you help me".

"By taking you to the nearby marine base" Luffy replied as he walked onto the deck of the boat and found a small boat near it, "you'll navigate us to Shells Town".

"Okay Luffy" Coby replied with a smile.

"Then let's go" Luffy replied as he grabbed Coby and jumped into the small boat.
