(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)
"There's a ship sighted! Looks like pirates only the sails are blank!" The town fishermen were shouting from the docks, drawing attention from everyone around the town."
Ace and Sabo were surprised that Luffy could read while more than a few women around the room let out a sigh at how deep and almost soothing his voice sounded.
"The older people remembered Red Haired and how he had saved Luffy and hoped that the pirates were friendly. The younger generation aside from Luffy however were finding whatever they could to use as weapons."
"Luffy's already dangerous enough on his own can you imagine him with a weapon?" Nami asked looking at her crewmates who all snickered or grinned darkly at this.
"Describe the ship!" Luffy said as he and the Mountain Bandits arrived on scene, Makino running to fetch them, and the bandits looked nervous but prepared for war. Luffy just looked unusually calm and even a little excited.
"It's pretty big with blank sails and what looks like a lion figure head!" One fisherman said looking confused while Luffy grinned widely at that, beginning to look happy.
"That's the Thousand Sunny! That's my ship and my nakama!" Luffy said beginning to bounce around a bit as he looked eagerly at the approaching ship, making the entire town and the bandits look at him confused."
"I almost feel bad for them. To them Luffy never left the island or got a ship and yet here's this large pirate ship and he claims it's his and his nakamas?" Sabo asked grinning at how confused the rest of the town and Dadan must have been.
"Stop lying jungle freak. I doubt you're strong enough to have a crew." A young man not much older than Luffy said sneering at the straw-hat wearing boy, detesting the boy due to his abnormal strength and his creepy (in the mans mind) powers."
"Where is this brat?" Ace asked his eyes dark and Luffy just shrugged.
"It's the Blues Ace, East blue especially. Of course they think Devil Fruits are strange and mythical and creepy."
"Hey guys! I'm over here! Gum Gum Rocket!" Luffy said stretching himself out to land on the ship and leaving the townsfolk gaping in disbelief as a hearty cheer came from the boat even as it docked and dropped anchor.
"Oi! Everyone! Come meet my Nakama!" Luffy shouted over the side of the boat with a wide grin on his face, one they were more used to seeing.
"Brat we're Mountain Bandits! We don't get on boats!"
"I mean…she has a point."
"Dadan called up eyeing the boat warily even though it looked inviting enough and rather…childish really.
"Oh yeah…hey guys wanna visit the town and mountains?" Luffy asked looking over his shoulder as several people began to walk over to the side of the boat.
"Of course Luffy-kun." Jinbe was the one to say with a kind smile on his face, despite all the horrified looks he was getting from the rest of the islands inhabitants while Makino barely batted an eye."
"The only fishmen in East Blue are Arlong and his crew and if the rest of the sea knew of what he was doing to Orange town then…" Nami trailed off with a wince at how much her town hated fishmen, and probably pirates as well.
"If Luffy called these people his Nakama then they were good people despite how terrifying or outright strange they looked.
"I want to see what kind of island produced you Luffy." Nami said as Luffy grinned at them all and let out his signature 'shishishi' laugh.
"Well what are you guys waiting for? Let's go introduce you to everyone!" Luffy said beaming brightly at his Nakama before turning and jumping off of the ship and onto the sand of the beach hard enough to leave a crater, making more than one of the normal humans pale or look rather faint."
"Normal people? Where?" Luffy asked looking around the room curiously and earning more than a few snorts from the others on the crew.
"Especially when the rest of the crew joined their apparent captain on the sand with much lighter landings but still left dents in the dirt and sand.
Honestly there was a giant fishman warlord, a tall cyborg who could probably destroy them all in an instant"
"I could but I wouldn't!"
"a rather infamous green haired bounty hunter, and a fucking skeleton with an afro."
"Yohohoho!"
"Normal people like the islanders…yeah they were freaking out, at least the blond man, the two women, the long nosed man, and the reindeer didn't look too threatening.
"So this is Dawn Island? Peaceful place for such a Suu-perly monsterish guy." Franky said looking around curiously. The townspeople either looked pissed or looked worried at what he called Luffy.
"Hah and he thinks you're his Nakama when even you guys call him a monster." The same jerk from earlier said smirking at the straw-hat boy whose entire crew tensed."
"Oh that won't end well." Yamato said with a dangerous fanged smirk.
"What did you just say about our captain punk?" Usopp was the one to ask as he stepped forward, the ground underneath them trembling ever so slightly as he reached for his rebuilt Kabuto. Thankfully Franky and Jinbe and Robin had enough foresight to gather all of the materials needed for the upgraded weapons for him to build as they went to find Luffy."
"Of course we did. It was a bit of a hassle getting it all together before we went to Skypedia but it was well worth the effort." Robin said smiling over at Usopp who grinned back at her.
"Your captain? But that weird blue haired guy just called him a monster." One of the townsmen asked looking confused.
"We call him that as a compliment and to symbolize how strong he is. He is our Captain and one of the Monster Trio after all." Nami said twirling her Clima-tact and her eyes sparking slightly as she glared at the young man."
"Watch out for the lightning." Jimbe said with a small chuckle.
"The strongest of the Monster Trio at that, but any who disrespect our captain deals with us." Chopper said growling as he turned into his Human Point, making one or two people faint."
"Heh. I'm used to people seeing me as scary but now that I can use that to protect my nakama?" Chopper looked proud of himself as he gave a savage smile. Zoro looked proud of Chopper.
"And you can ask any of the crew…I can be quite…vicious with my hands if my Captain gives me permission."
"As long as they aren't aimed at me!" Luffy said eyeing his archaeologist warily while she merely chuckled.
"Robin said crossing her arms over her chest in her standard pose for her powers. She didn't need to do the pose, actually quite the opposite but it helped to protect her chest if she were attacked while using her powers. She very rarely used the pose anymore since she trusted her Nakama to keep anyone from getting close enough to harm her"
"Of course we would! Not that you need protection!" Sanji was the one to say with a small grin.
"but right now everyone would underestimate them if it looked like she had to pose and concentrate to use her ability.
"Oi Robin if you're going to do that again let me get the hell away first!" Franky said paling at the look on Robin's face and recalling how exactly she had recruited him, making her giggle a bit."
"Do I want to know?" Oven asked glancing at the woman who gave a dark smile.
"You aren't the target this time Franky. So don't worry, your…delicates…are safe from my grasp this time." Robin said her eyes flashing with pure darkness as she glared at the young man that had the gall to insult her captain."
"None of us take someone insulting Lucy too kindly." Rebecca said from where she was sharpening her sword and making sure it was in top shape.
"Got that right." Yamato growled as she smacked her club into her hand with a dark look on her face.
"Yeah but next time he tries to argue with you he won't be so lucky." Zoro said with a snort making the others nod in agreement. Robin's favorite way to keep Franky from arguing with her over something stupid was to hold up her hand and threaten to have a repeat performance of Water 7."
"What happened on Water 7?" Smoothie asked with a confused tilt of her head.
None of the crew answered as the ones who had been there exchanged secretive smiles and grins.
"Everyone and everything stopped as Luffy threw his head back laughing, making his crew glance at him and smile warmly. The more observant of the townsfolk and bandits noticed how the crew relaxed at the sound of the boy's laughter and the suddenly small again Chopper and Brook laughed with him. Before long the entire crew of demon pirates were laughing and talking together like old friends as they each checked Luffy over with their eyes before fully relaxing."
"He's more than strong enough to handle anything in the world…but it's always nice for us to know that he really is okay!"
After all the Demon Crew were reunited with the Demon King."
"Can you read the nexxxt chapter too Luffy?" Hancock asked hopefully and Luffy raised an eyebrow at her.
"I don't see why not." Luffy said although he glanced at Robin curiously and she just smiled.
"Hancock is having one of her fantasies of your voice again." Robin explained, Hancock blushed bright red and greatly denied it.
