five years after Luffy's reincarnattion.

Life at his new home was not so bad to Luffy, it reminded him his time with Dadan's bandit, he had chores to do but it is not like he did them; he lived with five kids, there were :

- Kyle, a regular human who reminded him Usopp

- Rogelio, half human half lizard guy, Luffy was asking himself if he ate a devil fruit

- Lonnie, a tall girl who always seem in bad mood

- Catra, a catgirl who looked like a mink, maybe she could use electtro

- Adora, a blond girl who looked familiar to him but he did not know from where

Living with them was like when he was with his Brothers, dam he missed them; they were his siblings and he took care of them especially Catra since everyone were hard with her, exept him and Adora;

his new family was good but there were a lot of things he hated in his new life : He had to learn a new language; the food was awful, it has no taste and the only time it did he wanted to barf, it is in time like this that he wished Sanji was here, and he did not have enough food, he needed more than one plate so he often sneeked into the kitchen in order to eat ;

then he did not have his devil fruit's powers, having a new body meant that he did not eat a devil fruit so no powers for him, no more gum gum bazooka, red hawk, ballon, he is going to miss that but at least he still have his haki.

"okay trainees, there is a special test for you today, the force captain Octavia will train you, you have to hit her at least six times in order to succeed but if she hits you ten times you fail" said the instructor, he looked like a big blue ape, Octavia was an Octopus-woman with pointed teeth an four tentacles behind her back, she was thrilled to fight them.

- it's bad. declared Catra.

- why ? asked Luffy.

- Because I scratched her eye two days ago, she will try to get her revenge.

- I will be there for you.

- you will fight her one by one. ordered the instructor.

- oh, good luck. Luffy comforted Catra

the fights were pretty shorts, Kyle lasted for one minute but he could not hit octavia whereas Lonnie hit her three times but when it was Catra turn, the octopus-woman viciousely beat her, the captain hit her on her back, her taill, her ribs, Octavia was hitting her because she wanted to make Catra suffer, Luffy clenched his teeth, It was Catra's fight not his so he will not intervene but when it will be his turn to fight Octavia he won't hold back.

Catra managed to hit her sparring partner six times but she could barely move because of the pain while Octavia was pretty fine

" trainee Luffy, it is your turn. " the instructor prevented him

Luffy did not care too much, he glared at Octavia, she dared to hurt Catra in front of him, no one is allowed to hit his nakamas, he just went in front of her.

"begins !"

what happened was pretty fast, at the start of the fight, Luffy threw away his stick and coated his fist in haki, he dodged one hit from Octavia and then he punched her so hard that she went right to the wall and fainted.

everybody was lookin at him in awe because of what he did.

" That was for Catra, dumb-head."

The trainning have been suspended because Luffy knocked out Octavia in one punch before it was Adora and Rogelio turn so in order to complete their Schedule the six kids had to clean up the trainning room, they were alone since the instructor had to get Octavia to the infermery, no one was talking except for luffy who was singing a weird song that no one understood :

" minami no shima wa

atta ke-e

atama pokopoko

aho baka ...

" shut up !" shouted Lonnie, she did not understand what Luffy sang but it annoyed her; they had to clean the room because of him and he did not focus on his work,

- but i'm bored ! whined Luffy

- so clean the room without singing nonsense !

- … kita no shima wa." Luffy did not paid attention to what Lonnie told him, he just kept singing

- how have you been able to throw away Octavia in one punch ?" asked Adora, she wanted to prevent Luffy from singing again or Lonnie would stranggle him.

- I just used my haki" answered Luffy

- what is it ?

- I Don't know how to explain it, let's say it is a magic power that everyone can use but a only few people know how to do it.

- How did you know it. ? asked Catra

- Rayleigh taught me in my previous life …

- you had a previous life ?! shouted everyone in the room except Luffy

- i probably shouldn't have said all that. Then, forget all that. laughed Luffy.

- just said the Truth instead of a bedtime story, if you don't want us to know how to use it said it. " Growled Lonnie.

- I can try to teach you.

- Really ?

- yes, we are nakamas after all

Luffy was the only one to know the meaning of this word but the cades felt warm in their hearts when he said it

seven years after Luffy's reincarnation.

Luffy was playing with Adora and Catra, he liked to spend time with them, it was like he was with his Brothers; the three kids were running in one of the fright zones's corridors, Catra used her cat's agility but Luffy was too fast; they stopped their race when the saw the open door of a room; they were too interested of the tall ruby that was in the room so the did not care of the others things in it.

- It's open. declared Catra.

- we are definitely not allowed to come here. answered Adora, but was clear that they both wanted to see that big jewel.

- I am already here, come with me, it is a really big ruby ! Yelled Luffy from the room.

they did not need more to be convinced, they were looking at the jewel but they barely entered the room and they heard moans coming to them, they hid behind the ruby so no one could see them from the door; a woman who wore a red cloak and a red mask entered the room; she was Shadow Weaver : the second in command of the Horde and the woman charged to take care of the children; she was usually terrifying (Luffy though she was a witch and he was right) but right now she was weak, even if she was above the ground by using her magic, it was clear that she was in pain and that she could not stay up for long.

" obaa-chan ! are you okay ? asked a worried Luffy while he came out of his hidding, even if she was a witch Luffy cared about her. He ran to Shadow Weaver but when she saw him she got angry, even if she was wearing a mask it was clear that she could kill the kid.

- get out ! she screamed; get out right now ! the killing intent from her words was strong, it scared Adora and Catra who were hidding, they did not want to face her.

Despite this, Luffy was not disturbed, " but obaa-chan, you need help !"

- I said get out ! the witch tried to blast him but he dodged it and it took the rest of her strength, she could not stay up any longer so she fell down.

- obaa-chan !

- get me to the stone… She moaned, Luffy did as she said; when she touched the stone, electricity flowed through her body and then she stood up.

" why are you here ? she angrily asked.

- i was playing in the corridor and then i saw this big ruby so i wanted to touch it …

- this is not a ruby it is the black garnet, a runestone and one of the most important relics of the Horde.

- so it is a treasure.

- Don't interrupt me Adam ! she used her magic to froze him in the air before she stood in front of him eyes to eyes. " i tolerate your presence because Adora like you but if you come back to this room i will kill you ! do you understand ? she shouted.

The two girls behind the runestone were trembling, was he going to die?

- My name is Luffy. He responded without any fear.

- what ? Shadow Weaver could not believe that a five years old boy could be exposed to so much Killing intent without any problem.

- My name is Monkey D. Luffy, not Adam.

- How can you not be affraid ?

- I faced worst.

- Liar ! she threw him out of the room before to go where he landed.

- I'm not lying ! luffy got up without any problems but blood was leaking from his head, Shadow Weaver stared at him, luffy was angry for sure but not because she threw him away, he was angry because she called him a liar; The kid was worried about her healt, he helped her and he did not seem to hold any grudge against her, the last time she saw someone like this it was with Micah … the last student who loved her.

- follow me, you need to go to the infermery.

- okay but the doctor will have to check you up too.

- just follow me.

Shadow Weaver did not notice the two kids who ran away while she was escorting Luffy to a doctor

days later, Luffy was in front of the chef from the cafeteria, he did not seem happy.

" Did you sneek into my kitchen and eat almost everything that was in the fridge ?

- no !" Luffy was obliviously lying because he puchered his lips and looked away.

- why you little !" the chef tried to hit Luffy but he dodged it, every time the chef tried to hit the kid he just dodged it without any problems, after one hundred attempts, the cook was too tired to try again.

- I … i will report this … to lord Hordak." said the exhausted chef.

- okay." The former pirate king smiled.

- Move ! move ! " yelled Luffy while he carried three big crates full of supplies like weaponts or even pure metal.

Shadow Weaver was the one who decided of his punition, since he ate almost eveything in the fridge Luffy will have to work in order to eat, so during the day in addition of the cadets' trainning program he had to work; some soldiers though it was too harsh for a five years old kid but Luffy was fine with her descision, he came at six a.m to help them to load the ships, they assumed that he could not move the crates since each of them weighed fifty kilos, none of the soldiers expected him to charge Twenty-one crates in ten minutes.

- is he really human ? asked one of the soldiers

- that what his Birth certificate says, he sees this punition as a trainning and to be fair he has already done one-tenth of the work we are supposed to do this Morning. Responded his superior

- I will have my day sooner than usually, thanks to this kid.

- is that all for this Morning ? Asked Adora when she saw that the breakfast for everyone was just a tiny cup of poridge.

- I am sorry but he almost took everything we had for the breakfast. the chef pointed to Luffy who was alone at the table while he was eating a cauldron almost full of poridge.

- how can he have so much ? she asked.

- his punition for yesterday, Shadow Weaver decided that he had to earn his food so for each kilos of supplies he transported he gets a spoon of poridge but apparently he has done a great job.

A lot of kids were unhappy of this, then Adora and her group could not find any place exept at Luffy's table.

- Good Morning, guys !

no one responded, they were staring at the scauldron who was almost empty; Luffy was going to eat it all.

- You haven't so much. noticed Luffy

- That's because you amost took everything ! said an angry Lonnie.

- oh, you can serve you.

- What ?

- I have Nothing against sharing it with you." Luffy was a glutton but not to the point to letting children to starve.

this kind of behavior was unussual in the Horde but they were happy to get more food.

" Where is Adam ? Asked the instructor. like it was said before, "Adam" was the name that the Horde gave to Luffy at his rebirth but he always ignored it and wanted to keep his former name, in fact he did not even know that Adam was the name they gave him.

" My belly is full. Declared Luffy when he entered the room, he was smilling but almost everyone in the room was glaring at him for his actions this Morning. The instructor was not happy that Luffy was almost in late.

" So, the task for today is quite simple, you have to get trough the simulation of the whispering woods, but there is a bonus, if a whole team can pass this without having one of them out then it can have a Week without trainning sessions. Any questions about it ?"

Luffy was the only one to raise his hand

- yes ?

- Can you simulate a kaizoko ship, or a sky island or the stomach of a whale ? asked Luffy.

- Any questions about the exercise ?

- why the armor is just protectiong the torso and not every parts of the body ?

- okay, begins the execise. declared the instructor, he did not feel like to face Luffy's logic

The simulation was fun for Luffy, it was like the mount Colubo and he could train his coordination betwen his body and his observation haki, he ran with his team but he was behind them, " Kyle, move to your left" the blond Instinctively moved where Luffy said and he just dodged a blast from one of the drones, "Rogelio, raise your tail !" the lizard-boy did what he said, if he did not raise it he would have been trapped.

the rest of the exercise was like this, Luffy was trainning his haki and his body by helping his team to win the test, they finished without any elimination, the prize was for them.

" We won ! " exclaimed Lonnie, they did something who seemed impossible without any problems, she was so happy and Nothing could change her mood

" thanks you Luffy, we couldn't have done it without you. said Catra

Okay, maybe it give to her Victory a bittersweet taste but it was still a Victory.

" So what are we doing during our Week ?" Asked Kyle, he never had so much free time before, in fact no one though it was possible to succeed the task for the free Week so they had conditions : they had to stay together … and other rules that Luffy had forgotten.

"teach us haki !" yelled Catra to Luffy,

"sure"

"come on you …" Catra paused "wait you are okay to help us to be at your level !"

" yes" luffy nodded. "why are you surprised that i help my nakamas ?"

"- This kind of thing isn't approved by the Horde." answered Lonnie.

"- eh, i Don't care" Luffy started to pick his nose with his pinky.

" - You won't be a good soldier if you keep to ignore instructions.

- I Don't want to be a soldier, I want to be a kaizoko !" Luffy smiled " you could join my crew or you can have your owns crews and we could meet each other during our adventures."

None of the children took this seriously but Luffy though they did not want to leave the Horde, it was not so bad, they were still his nakamas.

- how long is it to learn haki ?" asked Adora

- It took me years but i can teach you the most importants parts" answered Luffy.

they hoped that he was going to keep his promise and he did, they were his nakamas after all

I edited the chapter because I noticed some mistakes I didn't liked but it Don't change too much the chapter
