Shoutout to my 40th follower demigodninja21 and my 45th follower

Thanks ninjafang1331 you help motivate me to do a good job

spoilers to my fic

So far I plan on a crew of 31 characters, may increase or decrease.

All original straw hats are on the crew

Coby will be joining

Smoker will not join the crew.

Now ships and confirmed characters

Luffy x 14 girls... lol with crew size and harem size I will probably pause this fic at some point to get practice with smaller groups

Usopp x kaya

Lucci x kalifa

Coby x Marianne

Brook x nobody

Chopper x nobody ( maybe a mink but its weird to put him in a relationship )

I will not add bon clay even though I love him

Kaku x giraffes

Franky x himself

Jimbei x masterchief

Sanji x ivankov ( Just kidding )

( random thing to say but I love to imagine buggy as masterchief just running around marineford, my friend has great humor )

Sanji will have multiple flings

Zoro is not zoro, I had to make at least 1 fem zoro fic so this is it, meet Zora

If I'm gonna have tashigi x luffy and can't have marine zoro with perona and am too lazy to write kuina then why not make zoro female. Ps I love zoro and luffy as friends, in cannon. They are best friends, so in this fic zoro is fem, in another he's like luffys brother, Zoro and luffy always need to be close regardless of the type of relationship. Male and female, bros, best friends, etc

For the next year luffy trained with Kaku, kalifa, Lucci and the 6 powers instructor bogard

Bogard taught those three how to use the 6 powers and they in turn would teach luffy, who would teach them haki

Luffy has already mastered the 6 powers

Kaku has mastered armament haki

Kalifa has mastered observation haki

Lucci has mastered both

Luffy can honestly say that they are all his friends

Kaku is a generally friendly guy, kalifa is kind and responsible and Lucci is just a man in a shell but once you get passed that shell he is a loyal companion

Luffy had wanted to understand why they started training and they ended up agreeing to tell eachother and keep it between themselves

Kalifa was born in an assassin family but she never really cared for the government and simply wanted a big family, and this was hers.

Kaku disliked criminals and wanted to protect innocent lives, He knew kalifa which is why he chose this path

Luffy wanted to be the strongest so he could make and protect many friends and travel the world, Among various other goals he Isn't ready to share

He asked Lucci but he wouldn't say, they made a deal that in 6 months lucci and luffy would fight and the loser had to awnser any question of the winner.

After 6 months luffy had won the fight albeit barely

Lucci revealed that when he was a boy that his home island was destroyed by a buster call at the command of cp0 and he wanted to climb the ranks to find and kill the man to get revenge and prevent it from happening ever again.

Luffy assured him that it was a fine goal and that he should become a marine

Cps only follow commands but marines can rise through the ranks and eventually become Admirals or even the fleet admiral and gain that information as well as a lot of power to control certain things to a greater extent the cp members could

" In a year and a half I am going to be the captain of my own ship, If you follow me then I promise to do everything I can to learn that information, Besides we have a better chance together, Will you join me? "

Lucci said he would think about It but kalifa gave him puppy dog eyes and he said probably but don't count on it

Luffy laughed

( Kaku and kalifa were like twins so thats how Kaku knew there was tension between kalifa and Lucci and he told luffy )

Luffy left the next day to sail in the grandline and he rose through the ranks all the way to lieutenant commander

He was asked to infiltrate and kill the traitor Gasparde so he left the crew he sailed with.

At the end luffy had saved a man named bascud, his little sister and an old man and he defeated Gasparde, after all of that bascud came up to him and thanked him as he handed over a devil fruit believed to be the candy candy logia fruit .

At the end he was promoted to captain and he now had 2 devil fruits in his possession.

I apologize for the short chapter but I simply felt like writing all of this in full would of been redundant and a waste of time so instead I just sped through.

I felt that this wouldn't be a good start of a full chapter so I made it its own.
