It's a nice sunny day in the east blue. The sun is shining, the birds are singing. Everything is going peacefully in this small town. In it a pirate ship is docked at bay.

…..

Makino's bar.

Inside the bar is a group of pirates who are very friendly to all in the town. They are called the red hair pirates. Hay Shanks, you think I got what it takes to be a marine someday? Asked a young boy who looks to be 7 years old. I don't know Luffy, do you have what it takes to join at all? Asked Shanks. Of course I do, I monkey D Luffy, grandson of a freaking marine hero, the same one who defeated gold Ruger said Luffy.

Shanks sighed at that. Yeah sure he did said Shanks. What's that mean?! Yelled Luffy. Nothing, I'm just saying said Shanks as he keep on drinking. Just like that Luffy spots a chest next to him.

Hey Shanks, what's this? Asked Luffy. Shanks looked to see what Luffy was talking about, only to see that he was talking about the chest. That Luffy is a chest said Shanks. I mean what is inside the chest? Asked Luffy. Oh, easy, it's a devil fruit said Shanks. A devil fruit? Asked Luffy. That's right Luffy said Shanks. Oh, I see said Luffy. What kind of devil fruit is it? Asked Luffy. Word is it's the gum gum fruit said Shanks. What's it do? Asked Luffy. It gives you the power to turn your body into rubber said Shanks. That's weak said Luffy. Not really Luffy, if you eat it you'll be immune to bullets and blup things said Shanks. And lightning, don't forget about lightning captain said one of the red hair pirates. That to, anyways Luffy I think you'd make one hell of a marine, if you eat it said Shanks.

I don't know, what if I become to weak? Asked Luffy. That is not going to happen Luffy said a man. Everyone looked to see who said that. Because I'm the one who's going to train you in the ways of the marine said the man. Just like that the pirates spat out their drinks at the site of seeing ''him''.

Grandpa you're here said Luffy. Of course I'm here, you think I'd leave my grandson here with pirates? Asked Luffy's grandpa. Yes said Shanks. Watch your mouth boy! Yelled Luffy's grandpa.

MAKE ME GARP! Yelled Shanks. Both of you please stop! Yelled Luffy. Sorry Luffy, you know how it is with me and this pirate said Garp. I know said Luffy. Sorry Luf I sometimes forget you hate it when me and Garp fight said Shanks. It's ok, just keep the peace here ok? Asked Luffy.

Ok said Shanks and Garp. Anyway, Luffy, you going to eat the fruit? Asked Garp. I thought about it and you know what?, I think I am going to eat it said Luffy. That a boy Luffy, eat up said Garp.

Just like that Luffy eats the devil fruit all up. So now what? Asked Luffy. Now your coming with me to train said Garp. Ok said Luffy. We're heading to an island I know of that will help you with your training ok Luffy? Asked Garp. When will we be back? Asked Luffy. I don't know said Garp. Well if your heading out I must warn you that me and the gang are not coming back anymore said Shanks.

Why? Asked Luffy. We've been here far to long, it's time to head out back to where we belong said Shanks. Oh, I see said Luffy all sad now. Here you go, it's my number if you ever need to talk to me ok? Asked Shanks. Ok said Luffy. And here you'll need this said Shanks handing over his straw hat to Luffy.

I wish for you to keep it for me, your going to need a name for yourself when you become a mighty Marine someday said Shanks.

Thanks said Luffy as he was starting to cry. You'll take care of him right Garp? Asked Shanks. Of course I will, his my grandson after all said Garp. Good to hear said Shanks. Welp, we're off, time to go Luffy said Garp. Ok said Luffy as he and Garp walked away.

So grandpa, when do you think I'll be old enough to kick some pirate ass asked Luffy. Number 1 don't say bad words until your 18, number 2 my guess is when you hit petty officer ok Luffy? Asked Garp.

Ok said Luffy. And number 3 don't think just because your good friends with that pirate fule you, your still going to have to find and then arrest him someday ok? Asked Garp. Yes grandpa said Luffy feeling sad again. Don't warry, you'll see him again Luffy said Garp. I know said Luffy. Welp here it is our, boat said Garp. Time to get in Luffy said Garp. Ok said Luffy.

Just like that the two sailed off to the seas to train, unknown to them of how long they will be training for.

9 years later.

Somewhere in the east blue there's a island with a giant marine base on it.

No way said Garp. Come on grandpa let me try this on asked Luffy. Your not going out to sea dressed up like that Luffy, it be embarrassing to our family name said Garp. Will you can say all you want but I'm going to wear this got it? Yelled Luffy. Garp sighed at that. Fine, but I warned you young man said Garp.

Thanks grandpa said Luffy as he stepped out of the closet. He is wearing a button up red vest, no sleeves, short jeans, some sandals. And his straw hat. Plus his now 16 years old. So how do I look? Asked Luffy.

You look stupid said Garp. You don't know that said Luffy. Trust me, you do said Garp.

Anyways, now that you're a marine petty officer, I have a job for you said Garp. Yay my first job as a marine said Luffy all happy like. Yep, your going to an island called Spooner village, word is that is where you'll find nun other than Flapjack, captain of the Flapjack pirates said Garp. What can you tell me about him? Asked Luffy. He has a bounty of 10,000 Barrie's, plus he has a crew of 50 men on his side said Garp.

How come he has that big of a bounty? Asked Luffy. Some say he's a devil fruit user said Garp. Oh, I see said Luffy. Now that you have the power of the six power master skills inside you, the Flapjack pirates have no idea how much danger they are in for said Garp. Don't put it like that grandpa please? Asked Luffy. Sorry said Garp. It's ok said Luffy. Now where's my ship? Asked Luffy. It's right out there said Garp pointing outside.

Both Luffy and Garp went outside to see Luffy's ship. When they got out there Luffy see's his ship.

It's a big ship, double decks, 500 cannons.

What's her name? Asked Luffy. She's called the screaming Dunky said Garp. The screaming Dunky? Asked Luffy. Yep, that is her name said Garp. Why? Laughed Luffy. I have no idea said Garp.

Ok then, time to kick some pirate ass's Luffy said Garp. Ok, see you hopefully soon grandpa said Luffy.

You to Luffy, you to said Garp. Just like that Luffy is off to Spooner town to fight and hopefully defeat the Flapjack pirates. This is the first start of the straw hats marines.
