Until now, it is the best fanfic I wrotte; Sorry if it took time but I was busy with school and English is not my first language
Luffy's Journey
At the fright zone
Hordak was sitting on his throne and he did not look happy, Octavia was in front of him and she was quite nervous, the chief of Horde seemed displeased.
" Can you tell me what happened at the skiffs' room ?" Asked Hordak,
" yes … so me and the guard heard Something who sounded like a big explosion so when we arrived, the door was broken but I'm sure that Luffy did it with his fists, Luffy was on a skiff, trying to make it start so the guards aimed at him and I threatened him but he just said that he was sorry and then we all fainted … I Don't know how but he did it … this kid is really a monster."
The leader of the Horde looked calm in front of her, but Inside he was really angry : " So what happened after his desertion "
- A small team went after him but he entered the whispering woods so they couldn't go far, they saw a column of smoke, the research team thought hat it was a campfire he started but when they arrived, it was the skiff that crashed against a tree, there weren't any evidences of his presence here … he … lured us.
- "So, you are telling me that Luffy crashed the skiff on a tree so he could escape … " there was a big silence in the room until the lord of the Horde said what he was tthinking of this theory " He is not smart enought to do that."
- Maybe but unless he fell from the skiff and that by pure luck it crashed miles away from him it's the only explaination; I personally know that Luffy is the most annoying, troublesome, stupid, unbearable cadet the Horde ever have but we should considere that he was pretending to be a moron for years and he dropped his act because of what he did to Grizzlor."
Hordak started to think about what she said, Luffy was the worst child raised in the Horde, unlike the other children, he did not glorified the Horde nor hated the princesses, he was just interested in adventures and having fun, he was a great cadet when it come to fight, what he did to Octavia nine years ago is an evidence, but he was a dead last at the rest of classes; What if he failed his exams on purpose so he could avoid to be send early on the battlefield, if he was really pretending to be an idiot so everyone would be underestimating him … that would means that the leader of the most powerful army in Etheria had a futur traitor right in front of him for years and he was outsmarted by a kid he raised.
" - No, he just had luck." declared Hordak even if it was because he did not want to admit he comitted a Failure; none of them knew it was the Truth
- so … are we going to send another team to track him ? asked the humanoid octopus.
- No, He want to live like a pirate then fine, a child who keep dreaming will not disturb the war; We are not going to vaste any resources for him, I want you to preapare the troops to set up a factory at Plumeria, Queen Jadina is still weak from the last battle, she will not be able to stop us, in fact we could even kill her.
three days since Luffy left the fright zone
Luffy was in the wood for days, he did not take a map with him when he deserted the horde, he had no idea of the sea's direction so he did the only thing he do in a case like this : " he took a stick and walked straight ahead."
Howevert sometimes he changed his path when he went after an animal to eat or fruits but hey, it is part of the adventure; Then he saw smoke, so logically there is a fire and if there is a fire maybe there is meat.
"meaaaaaaat !" yelled Luffy
0000
"oichi !" said Luffy with his mouth full of fruits that his captor served him; the pirate was tied up in vines but since they filled his stomach he did not mind; the story of how he ended like this was not so great, vines wraped around him as soon he entered this village; forunually those people were pacifist, they gave him food because he was hungry and he was not even in a cell but outside in the middle of the village;
" hey slow down and Don't speak while you're eating, you could choke yourself." adverted a guard who was dressed in … leaves … but very bigs leaves.
There were two guards next to Luffy, one was holding a fruit in front of his mouth so he could eat it; and a tall woman was in front of him, she was dressed in a simple green dress, her eyes were greens with dark circles under them and her hair black, she was Jadina : queen of plumeria.
" So, now that you are full, tell what were you doing here ?" she asked.
- I was looking for meat." answered Luffy with a blank face, even if it was covered in juice.
- are you telling me that a horde soldier entered my kingdom, Plumeria, so he could eat meat in a place where everyone is vegetarian. " she could not Believe that someone from the Horde, no matter how old he is, would do Something so stupid.
- You don't eat meat, that's awful !" yelled Luffy, everyone needs to eat meat and mostly him.
- this is not important, why are you here ? are you a spy for the horde ?" she shouted.
- I was in the woods then I saw smoke and if there is smoke in the wood then there is a fire so there is meat.
- No one in his right mind would do that for meat.
- but i did." The queen could hit her head against the nearest tree, this questioning was giving her a headache.
- okay, let's said that you did it to get food, then why a Horde soldier is so far from the fright zone ?
- I left the Horde, I'm a pirate not a soldier. answered Luffy.
- And how did you leave the Horde ?" she did not know if he was saying the thruth, leaving the Horde was understandable given how much the Horde was evil but the fact that a teenager did it was less credible that the fact he could be a spy.
- I stole a skiff and I drove it ahead." admitted Luffy, but one of the guards got fruits on his face, "gomen, I forgot you were here" apologized Luffy.
- And where is the skiff ?" asked the queen, the more she listened to him the more her headache increases, she could not Believe that someone could act like the teen in front of her, he just answered to her questions while eating; he had to be a spy, a really skilled one for putting such an act; maybe there were a flaw in his story she could exploit
- I took a skiff but I crashed it on a tree.
- It was you who starded this fire three days ago ! " yelled the queen, now she was sure that he was not a spy, no one in his right mind would enter a kingdom like plumeria with a story about endangering the woods where her people lived; do it would turn anyone into an outcast or even being banished; Jadina realized that he was honest and the stupidest human she ever meet.
" untie him." ordered the ruler of plumeria.
0000
"My queen, why did you released him ?" asked a guard; they were in the center of the kingdom; Jadina was next to the heart-blossom, the source of her family; she was watching Luffy in case he would do something but he was just having fun with the children.
" I … I know it's hard to Believe that he said the truth but it's the only option left after I eliminated the others possibilities" the teen who entered Plumeria seemed inoffensive he could still be a spy but he said things that no one would said and no spy trying to infiltrate the kingdom would keep the horde's uniform and even if he was pretending to be a deserter this kid did not try to stay in exchange of informations but just expected to have their hospitality; he just wanted to eat then he would go to the adventure, she never expected to meet someone like him. "Beside, we can't let someone starve to death it's against our way of life.
"but he could be a danger ...
" ouch, my kintamas ! " screamed Luffy rocking on the ground, apparently a child punched him where only the worst of humankind deserve to be hit.
" go back to the horde ! " yelled a little girl, she was very Young; no one around them knew what to do : the plumerians were pacifist even with people wearing the horde's uniform, Jadina was going to intervene until her daughter came to his help.
- Bloom, I'm so sorry mister, i just let her out of my sight for a second and … she is just a child, please forgive her. " apologised a blond girls who had the same age as Luffy; She was perfuma, princess of plumeria, daughter of Jadina and babysitter of the six years old girl who punched Luffy
- it's okay, i'm a pirate, it comes with the job." said Luffy through pain.
- You see, he is bad !" said the girl "he is from the Horde and a pirate … worst … he is a Horde pirate !" she was unsure of what to said to insult Luffy but a fusion of the name of two kinds of Dangerous people she knew seemed to be enough.
The blond princess lowered herself at the child's level " Bloom, I know the Horde is evil and hurt everyone but you can't just respond to their action by violence; he is just an hungry man who needs food."
Even if Perfuma's words were supposed to change the girl mind about Luffy, it the fact he just got up and sat like nothing happened that convinced everyone that he was not a threat; he forgave her althrough he had the right to be angry.
0000
Three hours later, Luffy went back to his journey, the people from plumeria were nice enough to give him new clothes : a pair of sandals, a blue short and a red shirt;
he had the same chothes when he left Dawn island but weirdly they did not have a mugiwara however it could not be the same if it is not the one he got from Shanks so it was not a big deal; the citizens told him where was Seawhorty, a city were he could find a ship.
While he was going right ahead to the port city, he sang to pass time :
"kita noshima wa
samui
atama buruburu
aho baka."
After a few steps he saw a Strange landscape : there were tents, heavy vehicles like tanks and other built for construction while at least twenty soldiers were cutting trees, they all stopped their work in order to stare at Luffy, his song helped them to notice his presence;
The pirate did not care, he kept walking; then all members of the horde took out their weaponts and aim at Luffy
" What are you doing here ?" asked one soldier before a comrade interupted him "I reconize him, he is the kid who broke captain Grizzlor's jaw, shoot him now !"
One of them shot but Luffy was not injured at all and yet the shooter was sure that he aimed right so he tried again and again althrough he could not harm the teen who barely moved away to dodge, after six attempts they were suddently face to face, the soldier was so surprised he fell down.
" You could have killed someone if you had kept shooting." scolded Luffy while everyone was surprised how fast he was, one moment he was at fifteen meters away from them and the next one he was in froont of the man who tried to shoot him.
"Why are you shooting instead of cutting those trees ?" yelled a large beastman, he was tall six feets tall, a lion's mane, and his face looked like a bear's face skin on a human head but the most noticeable trait about him was the steel on his jaw; when he saw Luffy he was far from be pleased. "You."
" A kuma ?"
- you Don't remember me.
the fact that Luffy scratched his head and had a perplexed look on his face explained everything.
- I am force captain Grizzlor, the beastman to whom you broke the jaw.
- I Don't remember it." replied Luffy, " I punched a few jerks back in the horde but nothing that could broke bones unless to be fragile.
That was to much for the force captain, the rage consumed him to the point his eyes turned red, he forgot his mission even the fact he was facing a traitor, he wanted to kill him right now. "Shoot him to death !" he ordered
suddenly, a giant carnivorus plant came from the forest accompanid by a plant golem.
" Sugei !" exclaimed Luffy before noticing the queen of Plumeria on the golem head, she looked tired but mostly angry.
" How dare you to invade my kingdom !" she did not fully trust Luffy so dhe followed him trough the woods, when she saw the camp she was not sure if he was a spy since the shot at him but she needed to get those soldiers out of Plumeria; She was physically weak from the battle who cost king Micah's life although she only needed of her plants to fight them.
the carnivorus plant charged at them but Something hit it before she could harmm them, smoke was coming from her creature and it seemed it was dying.
They were prepared for an attack coming from her, tanks, turrets and even weed killer so when their sniper saw a giant plant Moving he shot it
"DIIIIIE !" yelled Grizzlor before he striked Luffy head with a metal club, it was supposed to act like a stun baton but when it hit Luffy's head the weapont broke in two, he watched in disbelief the broken weapon.
"hey Jaja, do you need my help ? " asked Luffy, she was so nice to him when her people gave him food an clothes, he would gladly pay her back by beating those soldiers.
"Luffy get out of here, more are coming"
Her warning was late, when Luffy talked to the queen, the force captain profited of the distraction to open a door so more soldiers would come to fight, they were armed with clubs, shiels and some blasters but it did not scare Luffy in fact he was thrilled to fight them since it was his first real in fight in this new world, He lost the powers of the gomu gomu no mi but his haki was enough, covering his fists in haki he ran to the battle.
In less than ten minute a construction site became a battlefield in total chaos thanks to Luffy, none of the soldiers expected someone to just ran toward them, Luffy tried to headbutt one, she armored soldier tried to protect himself with his shield but when Luffy hear reached the shield he not only hit his adversary, he printed his face on the shield;
"- Shoot him with the tank !" yelled a soldier before being wiped out by the golem, to be fair even if the members of the Horde outnumbered Luffy and Jadina they were not really stronger than the average marine you could find at East Blue, their Equipment was better but it Worth nothing in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use it; they could have killed the queen due to the fact that she only fought with plant and did not really have a lot experience but with Luffy help they could not fully concentrate on fighting her, it was easy to shoot a giant plant but a deserter at regular height who moved at an incredible speed was almost impossible.
The soldiers were trying to fight, Luffy was having fun during this battle while the queen was trying to control her plants despite her bad health so she could fight; they did not noticed Grizzlor approaching a tourret, in the cockpit he aims the cannon at the center of the battle so the blast could hit Luffy and the queen,
Then he shot a blast at maximum level act more like a powerfull blow who wipe away enemies and can even burn, that' what happened; Luffy could just protect his body by using the Haki but the heat still hurt, soldiers were wiped away and the queen fell from her giant plant; The battlefield was covered by dust so no one saw them after the shoot, when the reinforcement came they had no idea of their captain's crime.
"I brought down the queen Jadina and the deserter Adam aka Monkey D. Luffy, now clean this mess … " he stopped his phrase when he saw a figure standing up in the dust, the captain though there was no way it could happen, the blast should have killed everyone or at least put them off-fighting "Impossible."
It was Luffy, covered in dust and harmed but he was still standing and ready to fight; when he got up he immediatly checked with observation haki, she was badly injuried but alive; There were not a lot of things who could make Luffy angry but hurting someone who helped him and your own nakamas was one of them.
As a beastman, Grizzlor had a sixth sense and right now it was telling him to get away from here, when he saw Luffy stare it was like facing a undefeatable monster who was going to kill him, fear paralyzed the captain and his soldiers, none of them dared to move by fear to trigger Something that none of them could face.
He felt a surge of power coming from Luffy it was like a strong Wind who took away their stength, soldiers fainted while fear was consuming him.
Then Luffy appeared in front of him and punched him, Luffy's glare glare was the last thing he saw.

When Jadina regained consciouness she expected to be in a cell or even in the afterlife but not in her bed with her daughter at her side, Perfuma hugged her mother, tears were flowing down.
" Mother, I was so scared …. if …. you were … " Clearly Perfuma was shocked of what happened to her mother.
"Calm down pumkin, calm down." she reassured her daughter with her motherly voice while she hugged her back. "Please, tell me what happened."
After regaining her composure, she told to her mother what happened, : "Luffy came back hours ago, he was transporting you on his back and he looked terrible like if he fought a monster but he just yelled you needed a doctor so we immediatly brought you to the healer; you could have died if it was not for Luffy."
Now Jadina was sure that Luffy was against the Horde, his previous personality was not a facade and she was deeply regretting to doubt of him, "Where is he ?"
"He went back to his Journey to Seaworthy, he wanted to go to the sea and live his pirate life
She nodded, "That makes sens, what about the Horde ? did he say anything ?
"He took care of it."
0000
At the fright zone, Hordak just learnt the news about Plumeria and he was really angry, he was on his throne with a terrifed Grizzlor.
" You are telling me that even with the equipments, the hundred of soldiers I gave you, the fact that the people from Plumeria had only their queen to defend them and she was still injured from the last battle … You failed the task I gave you, you lost resources, and the factory have been destroyed before you could even finish it" The lord of the Horde was screaming the last part, his eyes were reder than usually.
" - Please, lord Hordak, I beg your forgiveness; We have been able to take queen Jadina down but she had reinforcement."
It caught Hordak's attention, he was sure that Plumerians did not believed in violence and the kingdom had stopped to have ties with the rebellion, was it a false information ? "How manies were they ?"
Now Grizzlor was betwen the Hammer and the anvil, he couldn't just tell him that one boy stopped them even if he used a Strange power but lying to his lord could have conséquences, after two seconds he made his choice : "The were thirty and leaded by the traitor knows as Monkey D. Luffy, he used a Strange power to defeat us even if we fought him with all our stength."
Hordak frowned his eyes "Do you have any evidences ? "
- Yes. " the beast man showed him a shield with Luffy face printed on it.
The leader of the Horde was starting to regret to let live Luffy for so long.

In the whispering woods, Luffy was on his way to seaworthy so he could get a boat, he had a broad smile on his face, it happened that Plumeriad had mugiwaras, when he came back, the little girl who punched him apologised and gave him a hat she said that "every pirate captains should wear a hat" and it was exactly what he wanted, they just gaves to the mugiwaras the name of straw hats.
Now with all his attirail, Mugiwara no Luffy officialy started his Journey to Plumeria.
Thank you for reading the chapter, reviews are welcome;
I want to be clear about details : Jadina came from a french comic "les légendaires" her powers come from a three too and I like this comic
Luffy could meet the princesses's parents because the story actually happens five years before the canon and most of them were probably alive just like Mermistas father; some could not have survived it will depend of the story.
For the guest review from "Kyle" : I adverted everyone that my grammar could be bad and yes I admit that without the mugiwaras Luffy's crew will not be as good as the previous one so either I use ocs or the reincarnation again but let's be honest : No one want one of the mugiwaras to die even after fullfilling their dream and I Don't wanted to writte a story where the crew did not realised their dreams and Luffy bring so much chaos, so I just reincarnated Luffy.
