A/N: I don't own One Piece

Luffy smiled as Krieg's Pirates advanced on him as one, he lifted his leg and slammed it on the ground shaking the ship beneath his feet. Everyone stopped in shock as Luffy walked forwards and punched the first man that he could sending him flying back into the crowd causing them to fall to the ground. He smirked as he bought his leg up and kicked it forward shooting out a blue blade of compressed air that knocked down another line of men.

"Keep coming" Luffy demanded as he drew Stormbringer.

He quickly coated his blade with Busoshoku Haki and charged forwards, the Krieg Pirates had never seen anything like what was happening. The boy with the straw hat was tearing through one of the strongest crews in the East Blue and he didn't even look like he was breaking a sweat let alone getting touched by their attacks.

"Watch closely Sanji" Zeff told him, "this boy is something special".

"What do you mean" Sanji asked in curiosity.

"He's a D" Zeff told him.

Sanji went quiet as he looked at the straw hatted boy and noticed he was tearing his way through the Krieg Pirates and heading straight for Krieg himself. He noticed that the young man didn't have much finesse with his blade it was mostly just pure strength and speed that was allowing him to destroy the pirates, that and the extreme lack of skill that Krieg's men possessed.

"Pearl get out here now" Krieg roared as he watched the boy in front of him tear through his men, "get him in the water the boy must have eaten a Devil Fruit, that's the only thing that can explain his strength".

"You're an idiot" Luffy yelled, "is that your excuse for everything".

"And that swordsman that cut my ship must have eaten one as well" Krieg yelled, "all we need is Red Foot Zeff's logbook and we'll be able to conquer the GrandLine, he has to know how to beat these Devil Fruit users".

"I didn't eat a Devil Fruit you idiot" Luffy yelled in frustration, "how did you survive a week in the GrandLine with a though process like that".

"How dare you" Krieg yelled as small cannon rose from his shoulders, "die".

"Tekkai" Luffy muttered as the cannons fired as hit him in the chest.

"Hahahahaha" Krieg laughed, "all will fall before the World's Strongest Man".

"You really are an idiot" Luffy stated as the smoke cleared and revealed he was unharmed, "the first crew you met in the GrandLine would have slaughtered you".

"Sanji, go out and help him" Zeff ordered, "I want you to see his resolve".

Sanji smirked as he walked forwards and watched the strange boy tearing through the Krieg Pirates. Sanji noticed that some were getting past Luffy's blade, he stepped forward as he placed a cigarette in his mouth. He lit it as he lifted his right leg.

"Party Table Kick Course" he yelled as Krieg's men ran straight into Sanji's dangerous foot.

"Pearl" Krieg screamed as he looked around, "get out here".

A man jumped out of the water near Sanji and was shocked by the amount of his crewmates that had been defeated. Pearl is a towering man, Pearl's ensemble includes two large iron plates covering his front and backside, as well as two small plates with large pearls embedded in them for strong, blunt attacks.

Sanji jumped at the man and kicked him in the centre of his shield, acting quickly when he felt it waver under his leg Sanji bought his foot up and kicked Pearl in the face.

"I'm bleeding" Pearl yelled out in shock, "danger, danger, danger".

Sanji watched in fascination as Pearl caught fire and started to smash his hand into each other as he yelled danger and threatening to burn down the Baratie. Quickly noticing the danger that Pearl represent Sanji lifted his leg and kicked the man in the head sending him flying back and into the water extinguishing the flames. He watched as the man slowly swam back towards the Baratie as he lifted his leg again he heard a gunshot, turning to see who shot the gun he was met with Gin holding a gun to Zeff's head.

"Give up or I will kill him" Gin pleaded, "just hand over the ship".

"This ship is the old man's dream" Sanji told him, "Gin kill me and let him go".

"Don't fight back" Gin told him as Pearl rose from behind him, "if you do I'll kill the old man".

"Please let him go" Sanji pleaded.

Gin watched as Pearl slammed his hands into Sanji's head forcing the young man to the ground. He then lifted his hand and delivered a palm strike to the blonde man's chest causing his to spit up blood. Luffy turned around when he heard Sanji groan in pain and his eyes widened when he noticed Gin pointing a gun towards Zeff's head.

"Sanji, get up" Luffy roared, "that old man would prefer you living then his ship getting destroyed".

"You don't know anything" Sanji yelled back in pain, "this ship is this man's treasure".

"You idiot" Luffy yelled as he slammed his foot into the ship, "he would rather lose this ship then watch you die, so get up and fight"

Luffy watched as Sanji's resolve hardened and he started to get up, that's when the most unexpected thing happened. Gin blurred from behind Zeff and hit Pearl with one of his tonfa and shattered the man's shield knocking him out.

"What are you doing Gin" Krieg yelled in anger, "why did you knock Pearl out".

"Sorry Don Krieg" Gin yelled back with tears flowing, "I'll fight Sanji".

"You better win" Krieg roared in frustration.

"I will Don Krieg" Gin yelled back as he charged the now standing Sanji.

Luffy knocked down the rest of the Krieg Pirates and stopped to watch the man he wanted as his chef fight. He noticed instantly that the damage that Sanji had taken from Pearl had slowed the man down a lot, for every kick he was getting in Gin was hitting him at least three times with his Tonfa. It didn't take long for Sanji to kneel over and spit out a blob off blood, Gin took advantage of that and knocked the blonde-haired man to the ground pinning him with his tonfa.

"Kill him, Gin" Krieg yelled as he watched his first mate pin the cook to the ground.

"I can't" Gin screamed in frustration as tears poured from his eyes, "I can't kill the man that saved me".

"Fine then" Krieg yelled, "you'll die with him".

Gin looked up and noticed his captain was preparing to fire the MH5 poison gas grenade. He was shocked as the man ordered him to not use his gas mask and fired the deadly grenade. What he didn't expect was for the Straw Hat wearing boy to appear in front of the two and a black sheen to cover his arm as he diverted the grenade over the water. He was shocked even more when the heavily injured Sanji twisted his body out of underneath him and kicked him in the chin so hard his eyes rolled back in his head and he lost consciousness.

"You'd kill your own men" Luffy growled as he looked at the smirking captain, "you're scum".

"Shut up boy" Krieg yelled, "I won't be lectured by someone who doesn't even know what a true pirate is".

"Zeff, get everyone inside" Luffy ordered as his Haoshoku Haki started to flare from his body, "I don't want to hurt anyone".

"Everyone inside" Zeff yelled as he felt the pulse the boy was letting lose, "I'll get Sanji".

"As if I'll let that happen" Krieg yelled as his cannons appeared above his shoulders, "die".

Luffy lifted his leg launched two small Rankyaku that knocked the cannon's off his shoulders. Luffy smiled as the man bought out his spear and charged the boy in the Straw Hat. Luffy smiled as he slipped through the man's guard and cut the spear in two. He was shocked when the end of the spear hit the ground and exploded sending him flying sideways. With a quick Geppo Luffy stopped and ran back at Krieg as he reared his arm back and drove it into Krieg's stomach cracking the man's armour.

Luffy jumped back and smirked when he lifted his leg and kicked it forward sending out a larger Rankyaku. Luffy watched as the man's armour broke apart and Luffy launched forward as a shocked look covered the man's face. He closed in on him and punched the man in the top of his skull driving it into the deck and knocking the man out.

"Took you long enough" a pained voice cut through, "let's get them out of here".

Luffy watched as Sanji waled forward with a cigarette in his mouth and picked Gin up. He threw the man on a small fishing boat and Luffy took his cue doing the same with Krieg. It didn't take them long to round up the rest of the crew and place them on the tight-fitting boat. As soon as it was loaded they kicked the boat out to sea and watched it disappear.

"So are you ready to join me" Luffy asked in a hopeful tine.

"I would be" Sanji replied sadly, "but I have to stay here".
