Chapter 3: First-Mate, Treasurers And The Swords-Master
9 Years Later…
We see Luffy using Geppo to reach Albida's Ship. He wanted to have more crew members this time around and he wanted Albida to be one. Last time he almost lost his life to her and with the Devil Fruit she had ate she was basically untouchable. So he had found the same fruit instead of recreating it.
" 'Iron Mace' Albida, I have a proposal. I will make you one of the most beautiful women in the whole world but you have to join my crew as my treasurer." Luffy yelled while in Front of Albida's ship.
" I am already the most beautiful in the world." Saying that She swung her mace at Luffy and he caught it with his hand and broke it.
"I know how you feel. You don't need to feel sad because you are a little fat. Join me as my Treasurer and you will be what you should have been." Luffy said to Albida who look like she was about to cry.
Albida was always teased and bullied because of her weight so she bullied others to make herself feel ok but she never did . For the first time she had hope. With tears leaking she said."Please I will join your crew. But can you help me?"
"Here take a bit of this." Luffy said taking out Sube-Sube No Mi from his pocket dimension and give it to Albida.
Albida trusted her new captain and took a bite. She was engulfed in a bright light and what came out was not the mean and ugly looking Albida but a kind and beautiful looking Albida.
She had got what she wanted. She then hugged her Captain in joy,
"Let's go to Shell Town now. So what is your dream pipsqueak?" Luffy asked a shaking Koby.
"I.. I want to be a marine."Koby said with a look of determination.
"Then come let's go to the Marine Base in Shell Town." Luffy said grabbing both their soldier and Teleporting to Shell Town." We should also get a boat there."
Shell Town…
Luffy, Albida and Koby teleported right in front of tied up Zoro.
"Oi, Zoro, how did this happen again?" Luffy asked looking at his first mate.
Zoro looked up and saw his Captain." Bastard You could have told us what you are doing instead of just doing it. I was so confused. But thank you. I could save Kuina because of you."Zoro said slowly.
"So why are you tied again? Shouldn't you be training like you always do and have already taken care of Morgan?" Luffy asked surprised to see that Zoro was still tied.
"Well What can I say? I love getting tied up." Zoro said trying to be funny.
"Well Yeah You wouldn't get lost if you are tied. I think we should tie you to one of our crew so you won't get lost again."Luffy said with a laugh.
"Yeah you should." A voice says besides Luffy.
"AHHH" Luffy jumped back turning to the voice.
It was a girl with 6 Swords and he recognized 3 of the sword as Zoro's Sword.
"So you are the Captain he talks about." Kuina says as she cuts the rope tying Zoro." I have taken care of Morgan."Kuina said looking at Zoro."I am Kuina, Zoro's Childhood Friend and his Girlfriend. Can I join your crew too?" Kuina asked Luffy.
"Sure. The more the better. So now you are our official swords user and you are our Swords-Master. "Luffy said Smiling. Pointing to Albida he said." That is our new treasurer, Albida."Then Luffy pointed to Zoro and said "This is Rorona Zoro and he is my first mate. Can you defeat Mihawk, Zoro?"
"Well I don't have the right sword as this swords are not as good as my old sword or as strong as the Black Blade Yoru." Zoro said in a disappointed tone.
"Well I may have a solution for that." Luffy said as brought out a Devil Fruit from his Storage." Here this is Ken-Ken No Mi. You can make or even modify a sword the way you would like it to be. With this fruit even a Wooden Sword can be turned into the Yoru." Saying this he gives it to Zoro.
Zoro looks at it and then takes a huge bite. "That was as disgusting as the shitty cook." Zoro said. "So should we set sail to Orange Town Captain."
"Of course." Luffy said putting his hand to the ground. All of a sudden wood started appearing from the ground and the wood started form a small boat for 4 people. All of the crew member were shocked. Then Luffy turned to "Well we are off. Koby you should get going to the Marine Base and fulfill your dream."
"What was that Luffy? I thought you ate the Gomu-Gomu No Mi. How can you control wood?" Zoro asked Luffy.
"Well I have 7 Devil Fruit Power. But now I barely use any devil fruit. My other Devil Fruit power are to stronger even than My Gomu-Gomu No Mi. My Gomu-Gomu No Mi's power has been to strong too since I awaken it. You remember it ." Luffy said in a matter of fact tone.
Well he was true. Zoro could never forget what he saw during the battle between his captain and Blackbeard. His captain could turn Space, Time and Reality into Rubber after the awakening of his Devil Fruit. He even prevented the destruction of the world with one jerk of his hand. If his other fruit where stronger than his power couldn't even be compared to anyone.
"So let's get going. We need to get the rest of the crew too." Saying this they all sit in the boat and they go to their next destination, Orange Town.
Somewhere in Cobyashi Island..
"He is coming here soon. I can feel it." Nami said clutching her necklace. She got up from her seat and we see that she has made multiple map of East Blue for when her captain comes to take her as the Navigator. Well she got to get ready fir his arrival.
