Twelve years after Luffy reincarnation.

luffy has kept his promise, for the last seven years he taugh them how to use the Haki, thanks to it, they were the strongest team of trainee ever repertoried : they could dodge anything from the trainning robots , break iron with a simple stick covered in haki.

It took them years to learn how to summon this power, it could have been faster if Luffy was not so bad at teaching, then they had to learn how to use this power during a fight.

To Luffy's squad it was the best thing that ever happened to them because their strength but Something bothered them : "where did Luffy learn that ? " everytime they asked him about this he answered with the same story he told them years ago so they stopped to ask.

Anyway, the haki was a less disturbing mystery than the way how the brain of the glutton worked; The Horde taugh them that kindness and compassion were weaknesses but he did not have any probems to show these feelings in publics, he cared about every members of his squad even if it was against the Horde 's ethics : he trained them so they could become stronger, he looked after them when they were injured instead of taking advantage of it, but the weirdest thing about him was his smile, he smiled every day despite the cruelty of the fright zone, this was a miracle.

Third month of the year, 6 : 30 a.m

" Luffy wake up ! wake up !" Adora was shaking him in order to wake him up but it did not work, a Bubble was out of his nose while the pirate was dreaming of an island made of food (boin archipelago)

" I can't believe that you still don't know how to wake him up." Declared Catra while she was walking toward them, "Wake up Luffy, there is chicken at the cafeteria for lunch !" exclaimed Catra.

" Meaaat !" shouted Luffy, he jumped out of his bed then he ran to the cafeteria even if it was seven a.m

" If you want to wake him up, just said that there is meat in the kitchen." Declared Catra to an astonished Adora.

When Luffy took his breakfast it was like usually, he gave the tickets he earnt for his works at the docks to the chef so he could get a wide amount of food, the staff had to work harder in order to provide food to the rest of the Horde; they worked harder for Nothing because of a little kid who eat more than one hundred soldiers, they feared the day when this little glutton will grow up and eat more.

Luffy took his plate to the table where his squad was sitting, he was the only one to have meat for his breakfast because : his tickets gave him the right to choose meat but mostly because there was not enought poridge to feed Luffy without letting the other to starve this Morning (supplies and food were coming in the afternoon) so he got meat in the Morning.

the squad watched him, they trainned their "kenbunshoku haki" every morning since Luffy told them about this power, in fact they trained him every time they ate because they Always had to prevent Luffy to steal their food; It was not easy, summon this haki was hard for them and using it while doing Something was harder, Luffy was eating his food and some from his squad's plates, they tried to eat their meal or to catch his hand but he was too fast.

"I got you !" shouted Catra while she was holding Luffy's right hand, she managed to use the kenbunshoku haki so she could anticipate his moves, no one have done it before her.

"- that's awesome, Catra ! you are the best when it come to use haki." said Adora, well it was true if you did not count Luffy, Catra learnt how to use the haki very fast, she was able to use it before the rest of her squad, the catgirl was proud to be better than Adora at something, she was under Luffy but since no one praise him because of his attitude she was fine with that.

" Sugoi ! you're really good at it, maybe you will be able to see the futur" praised Luffy, then he finished to eat his plate and half of their.

"for the third time, Luffy, this is not how we use a stick" yelled the sergeant to Luffy, the trainning for today was a fight betwen the members of the squadron, they had to use their stick to hit the breastplate of their opponents, it was a battle were they fight at the same time; Luffy had the upper hand but he was not using the moves from the horde's lessons.

The former rubberman was using the stick like he used to fight with Ace against the beasts of mount colubo, he was more skilled than the trainees but the sergeant though there were too many openings in this style so he wanted Luffy to learn differents ways to use a staff so he would get rid of its flaws, but Luffy was fighting the way he wanted and no one can change that.

Adora and Catra were fighting each other while Luffy faced the rest of the squad, it was not fair for them; The pirate king defeated them easily, he dodged every blows and he was too fast so they could not use the haki and react in the right time, he won in less than five minutes.

Just after that he moved to his right so he could dodge a hit from Catra, she was the winner of the showdown betwen her and Adora.

" just you and me, Luffy … wait your eyes are close !" yelled Catra, she knew that someone with the haki could do that but it has to be a skilled fighter, Luffy was as old as them and yet he is the only one who managed to reach this level; He was way stronger than them.

"- I want to train my haki, i still can't coordinate my haki and my moves so i have to them regulary." declared Luffy. In fact his mastery of haki was weaker than before, its strenght was the same but he was not able to use it at its full potential : coordination, reaction rate, he had to work on them in order to be as strong as before.

For Catra, it was an insult, it was like if Luffy did not take her seriously, she did not know that Luffy was mentally old enough to be her father (even if he was Always thinking like when he started his Journey but with a little more maturity after marineford) so she felt like he was looking down at her.

Enraged, she ran toward him to stryke him but he easily avoided it, even with cothed eyes, then he hit her breastplate, Luffy won, he won because she was blinded by rage and she lose control; she realized it and it hurt to know she is second place becaue of her complexe.

" Good work, trainee Luffy … I … I will report this to lord Hordak." declared the seargent, it sound like saying this was Killing him, in fact he would not said that to Luffy if he was not sure that Hordak and Shadow Weaver could spy everyone in the Horde and know everything; he did not want to praise what was the biggest pain of his career but he had to.

" oh, don't bother, i don't want to be a soldier, i want to be a kaizoko."

" okayy." the sergeant agreed because he did not know that "kaizoko" was the japanese for "pirate" so he though it was just the word of a kid who never mature, anyway he hoped that Luffy would quickly become a soldier so he will never train him again.

After the departure of the blue ape, the trainees gathered around Luffy, they were talking of how stronger they got since the last time, praising each other and giving advices, but Catra was apart of them, she did not feel like she could fit among them, she went to the locker rooms but a hand on her shoulder interrupted her; The catgirl turned her face and saw Lonnie who was smilling at her, it was a warmly smile.

" - Don't be ashamed, sure you loss to Luffy but even at three against him he won, he is just too strong; and you beat Adora, you should be proud of yourself for that.

- Thank Lonnie, that means a lot to me." it was good to be praised for once.

- now come with us, Luffy said he has Something for us.

After the trainning, the squad went to their room, they were around a table where there were a bottle of rhum and six cups.

"- so … that's your surprise ? drinking "rhum". asked Catra.

- no, my surprise is that I want us to become kyodai, to be become kyodai we need to share sake and it smell like sake. answered Luffy who was smilling.

- kyodai , what does this means ?" asked Adora

- it means that we share an unbreakable bond, so even if we are far away from each other we will still be together.

- that doesn't make sense." said Kyle.

- it's coming from Luffy, scew the logic and just focus on the part "we share a bond so the distance doesn't matter" " replied Lonnie.

- I'm in." declared Kyle

- I guess it not so bad.

- I promised to Catra that we will Always be together so it will just seal it.

Rogelio grunted but it meant "yes", it seemed that everyone in the squad agreed with Luffy but Catra did not said her answer, she was llooking at Luffy without any emotions on her face :

"- Why ?

- "why" what ?" asked Luffy

- Why do you want us to share a bond now ?" yelled Catra "Is it because you're leaving ? you will leave the Horde and us but before that you wants "an unbreakable bound" so you won't feel guilty ! " tears was forming in her eyes." She was expecting many answers but not Luffy's one :

- I didn't have sake before.

- what ?

- The sake, you can't become kyodai without sharing a cup of sake and I stole the bottle this Morning at the docks, I didn't do it because I didn't find sake until today.

And just like that, every feelings of abandonment disapeared, she even laughed because of how stupid she though her actions were, Luffy really knew how to make her smile.

It was decided that they would do the "kyodai ritual", Luffy poured the alcool in the cups and the six teenagers drank it, except Luffy who already tasted alcool in his previous life, they all winced because of it taste.

"- it taste like piss.

- i understand why shadow Weaver Don't wants us to drink alcool.

they were all complaining but Luffy was still smilling.

"- It's official, now we are kyodai !"

fourteen years After Luffy reincarnation. 4 : 30 p.m

Shadow Weaver has been requiered to Lord Hordak' s throne room, she knew that this meeting was not going to be good, he did not like to spend time outside his sanctuary.

" - you summoned me, Lord Hordak ?" she kneel before him and she hated that.

Hordak looked like a vampire : bat ears, sharp teeth, a white skullshaped face and glowing red eyes, he was wearing an armor who seemed heavy as an evidence of his strengh.

The witch was not afraid of his look but something about this man scared her, it was like being in front of a bomb who could explose at any moment.

"- Yes, I want to talk about the trainee Adam or did you prefere "Luffy" since it's how he named himself.

- Luffy … what he has done." Surprisingly, she was worried about the teenager, she knew him since his Birth, he was always smilling, happy and strong willed , he reminded her Micah, her beloved student who passed away days ago; Even if she will never admit it, she grew fond of him.

- He broke grizzlor's jaw. " said the leader of the Horde, he was not angry at all, it was emotionless.

- what ?

Then, Hordak's pet jumped in front of her from one of the ceiling's pipe, it's name was "Imp" and he looked exactly like his name, he was blue and wore an uniforme of the Horde,

the pet opened his mouth, he was able to record any sound he eard, :

" This kid broke Grizzlor's jaw !", " there is no one whose death should be laughed at !"

Shadow Weaver didn't know the first voice but she reconized the second one, it was Luffy's.

"- there is certainly a Reason for that.

- oh there is one, Grizzlor was laughing at king Micah's death but Luffy didn't appreciate that.

She did not think that what Luffy did was wrong, she would have killed the beastman for making fun of the Micah, even if they choose different path of life, she still loved him.

- I tolerated him for fourteen years, even if he ate like one hundred soldiers, even if he defied his superiors' authority, even if he represented the perfect opposite of the Horde's values I tolerated him.

But this is a clear proof of treason : taking the defence of the leader of the rebellion and attacking a force captain cross the line."

- He … he expressed his emotion, Luffy respect the deads so he was angry at Grizzzlor for this outrage; the Horde can't afford to loose him, he can become a soldier of great value."

The leader of the Horde did not move from his throne, he looked at her and asked :

" - Do you know what a kaizoko is ?

- No, i Don't.

"Kid, you just described a pirate. Oh so I guess that a kaizoko is a pirate." was the sentences coming from Imp, Then the screen around her showed pictures of Luffy, each of them had a different periode of time, they all said the same thing :

"- I Don't want to be a horde soldier or a hero, I want to be a kaizoko !" They all yelled.

Shadow weaver's eyes were wide-open when she eard that, she knew that Luffy was dead serious about being a pirate.

"- he won't be willingly to be a soldier.

- but … the Haki, this power isn't a fairy tale, he can teach our soldiers about it like he did for his teamates ...

she was interrupted when Hordak's fist turned black, she reconized this ability, it was the "bushoku haki"; Imp was smiling on his master throne, the pet was proud of himself.

" - I have no more use for him.

- what do you want from me ? she finally asked.

- I know that you "love" him and you've been useful to the horde for years so I give you a chance, you gave you my blessing to change his memory."

her eyes grew wide from this information, Hordak knew about her power.

- If I Don't do it, will you send him to beast island ?

- "why I should bother to do that" then he showed his claws, " When I can just kill him."

Shadow Weaver had no more choices, she had to change Luffy's memories if she wanted him to live.

" Luffy won't be with us again." asked Adora in disbelief to Shadow Weaver.

It was in the evening, after the meeting with Hordak, the witch went to the squad's room to tell them the new but Adora was Alone, the other were trainning their skills and Luffy was working at the docks so he could eat.

"- Yes, I'm sorry Adora but he can't stay with your squad anymore."

- Why ?

- he attacked a force captain and broke his jaw, it's already a miracle that he hasn't been executed.

- Shadow Weaver … is he going to die ?

- Adora," she raised her favorite student's head with her hand, "I promise you that I will do whatever it take to save his life."

"- You wanted to see me obaa-chan ? " Luffy was heading to the cafeteria when she approached him.

- yes, it's about what you did to Grizzlor.

- I don't regret to punch him." he said without hesitation.

- I agree with you but Lord Hordak thinks you crossed the line so you will have to face consequences but don't worry, it will be light; You just have to spend the night in my room … one the metal table … it won't be so bad." it was the only excuse she came up to trick him, she hoped that his childish mind could Believe it.

- Okay.

Shadow Weaver profited of his sleep to use her magic on his memories, the spell could not permit her to see all of them, she could just affect the most recents or target peoples she knew, like his teamates; She wanted to make him forget them so only one he care about would be her, no friends in the Horde and a lonely childhood with only her as a mother figure could turn anyone into a pawn at her service.

She did it without any hesitation, after that he will forget his childhood friends : he had been raised by her, he was alone since his Birth and he never meet her Adora. When she finished her work, she deposited him in a room with only one bed in order to complet the lie.

"- you will do great things in the futur, I know it's your destiny." she said before putting the duvet on him.

The next morning was rather chaotic.

" Intruder in the skiffs' room ! Intruder in the skiffs' room !" yelled a voice from speakers in the corridors;

When Luffy woke up, he had no more ties with the Horde except of Shadow Weaver like she wanted but because of it, he had no more reasons to stay in the Horde, he stayed because of his Young teamates, they needed him so he was there for them; However now that he forgot them it was just like back in Fuushia : Shadow Weaver was like Dadan (even if the mountain bandit was a much beter mother than the witch) he was thankful to her for raising him but now he had to go to fulfil his dream of Freedom.

He still wrotte her a letter :

" Dear obaa-san

Thanks for raising me and for the food, now I will travel to the world and be a pirate; I love you"

(Yes, it was not long enough to be considered as a letter and he wrotte it so bad that you could barely read it but it's Luffy.)

Then he headed to the Skiff's room in order to get a vehicle for his Journey through the world, there were soldiers and even traps to stop him but it did not really worked on him; Now, he was on a skiff, trying to make it start.

" Get out of it ! " yelled someone; Luffy turned his head and saw it was Octavia accompanied by twelve soldiers with riffles aiming at him.

" Sorry guys but I have to go. " apologised Luffy before releasing his "haoshoku haki" the thirteen Horde soldiers fainted when they felt the surge of power, Nothing restrained the former pirate king anymore, he was free to go, he rode the skiff out of the Horde and then his new pirate life started.

" Time for the adventures" declared Luffy with a big smile on his face.

And I did it, i posted chapter three one day before it make one month since i published the story; So I am really happy about this fanfiction : 502 views in one month, 15 favorites, 18 follows and 7 reviews; None of my stories have been as popular, I'm really happy.

Maybe you can thinks that the "shadow Weaver erase Luffy's memories" is a cheap tactic to make him leave but we all know that Luffy will never leave his nakamas behind and if he take them with him then the whole she-ra is back won't happen.

so about the reviews :

merendinoemiliano : trust me, Luffy will bring a lot of chao.

SilentXD7 : I sent a PM but everyone should read the answer since your question is important for the story : So i am not sure if Luffy will get his powers back because just with the haki and his charisme he is already a bigger threat than Adora/She-ra and i do not wanted to make him too powerfull since he is in a new body and the story would end quickly if he has his powers.
But i could give them back much later un the story (and maybe if there is a big threat in the show and now I watched season 3 I know there will be one), i though about two ways :

Magician like castaspella give him a rubber body again and luffy will be the only one with devil fruits powers; or the devil fruits are a creation (Yes i Believe in this theory since I learnt about Vegapunk's artificial devil fruit) and Hordak will use them for the Horde so Luffy will eat a new gomu gomu no mi much latter but the horde will be stronger with devil fruits user (kage no mi, mera no mi, or even original devil fruits …) to maintain the balance.

What do you thinks about bringing devils fruits ?

Trnz : it's your review on my challenge who motivated me to publish it.

Kyrogue23 : since you are okay with having oc in the Horde, and that a ton of soldiers are unnamed, I though of a lot of Idea

Pasapack : gracias para tu review.

Daxen123 : I'm happy that you liked my story, I Don't know how to get an editor but I will work on my English grammar.

I am really happy of your reviews, favorites and follows.
