Hello everybody! Forzarismo here with a brand new chapter of the Rubbery Vengeance! Shit I really need to try to upload more frequently, but being the easily distracted man I am, this chapter took me a lot longer than it should. But nevertheless, I persevered and completed the chapter, though I might've half-assed it as to try to get it to you, my fellow readers, as fast I possibly can.
On a sidenote, I'd like to give a shout out to fellow fanfic writer and acquaintance Devlin Dracul. He makes some fantastic stories in my opinion, but they don't get enough exposure in my opinion, so if possible or if you have the time, I suggest that you all check some of his stories out, they are well worth the read. I would also like to give a shout out to Dslayernitro, for he too also does One Piece fanfics, with his most popular one, 'Blood Man Luffy' being one of my absolute favorites. These two deserve more love from us and we should support our fellow writers am I right? I know for sure I would. Anywho, let's get down to business with this story's current stats!:

Chapter 20: Loguetown
Smoker is many things: A Marine, Devil Fruit User, a friend and comrade to those under him, and a bastard to the pirates and criminals he has caught over the years.
One thing he is not though, is a coward.
He will never bow to the whims of any pirate no matter what. It's his pride as a Marine Captain to ensure that no matter where he is, that the public will remain safe from any criminal that dares to tread on the very island he is assigned to protecting.
So imagine his surprise when his pride and faith in the Marines is put to the very test in the form of one single piece of paper, showing a tall, dangerous looking young man having his fist going through Captain Nezumi's torso, while showing his murderous gaze only being somewhat hidden by his straw hat.
Wanted
Dead or Alive
'Straw Hat' Monkey D. Luffy
460,000,000 Beris
'This happened all too suddenly.' He thinks to himself, rubbing his temple in hopes to alleviate the headache he's getting just at seeing this bounty poster. From what he's heard from Headquarters, when they were informed of this up and coming rookie pirate who not only killed their captain in cold blood, but who is also the one responsible for the Celestial Dragon Incident ten years ago… Well, rumors state that Admiral Akainu adamantly went up to the Gorosei and demanded that they put a high bounty on his head, claiming that he must be taken down at all cost. It wouldn't surprise him. It shouldn't surprise him. After all, going by the information, he caused the international incident at the age of seven. The only other similar feat he can compare to this would be when Nico Robin destroyed those Marine Battleships at the age of eight years during the fall of Ohara twenty years ago. If he was that strong only at the age of seven, who knows how truly strong he is right now. It even states in the report that should he be seen, that they should call Marine HQ for reinforcements and try to stall him and his crew for as long as possible.
Anyhow, from what the reports say, they seem to be headed towards the Grand Line and it would only be natural to stock up on supplies before heading towards Reverse Mountain. Though he is no fool to think that Loguetown is their only option to get supplies before heading towards Reverse Mountain, he nevertheless he needs to prepare his entire force for the worst possible scenario just in case they land on Loguetown.
With The Straw Hat Pirates…
After everything that has happened these past two or so days, after leaving Riryoku Island and dropping off Carina to the closest populated island they could find, the Straw Hats are glad that to finally be on track, with their next destination being Loguetown.
"Alright everyone! Be prepared, for Loguetown will be our last stop before heading to the Grand Line! So make sure that everybody gets what they need while we are there." Luffy states as he gets his crew's attention.
"It's been about three or so years since we've been there hasn't it Kuina?" Zoro questions, receiving a nod from his rival.
"Indeed it has been Zoro, I quite remember having to help guide you to that weapons shop. We should visit him since he gave you those swords of yours for free." Kuina states, making Zoro blush at the memory of him getting constantly lost in area. He swears that it is the streets moving around, not him dammit!
"You two have been to Loguetown before?" Sanji asks, receiving a nod from Kuina and a grunt of confirmation from Zoro.
"Yes, we were there to cash in a couple bounties as they were the closest base at that time. The Captain of the Marines stationed there certainly looks like he deserves his ranking, considering the last time we saw him." Kuina remarks, striking Usopp's curiosity on this Captain.
"What happened Last time?" Usopp asks.
"A small fleet of no-name pirates decided it was a good idea to attack the captain. He captured them all in only a couple of minutes." Kuina says.
"Ah." Usopp says with a hint of disappointment.
"What do you mean by 'ah'?" Kuina questions, a bit offended that her info is being dismissed so casually.
"I mean… I was just expecting more you know? I have seem similar feats happen in only mere seconds. He doesn't seem to be that much of a threat by what you are going by." Usopp explains, with Kaya nodding slightly in agreement to what he is saying.
Kuina was about to retort, until she remembers that Usopp and Kaya have been to the Grand Line when they were kids and judging by the stories they have told during the party at Cocoyashi Village, their teachers seem much more terrifying than a mere captain from the Marines. So, she wisely kept her mouth shut for the time being.
"COO!" The crew's attention is now at the News Coo flying above them, before heading towards Nami as she waves at the News Coo to come down towards her. After a bit of bickering with the News Coo, Nami ultimately concedes as she began reading the news out loud for everyone to hear.
"Let's see… There's news about Fishman Island now officially being part of the World Government… Some marine propaganda… and-" Nami promptly froze as her eyes opened up in shock as she gazes at the Newspaper.
"Something wrong?" Marguerite asks, wondering what it is that caused Nami to freeze up.
"Luffy… I don't think we should head to Loguetown." She states with a voice filled completely with dread.
"What do you mean Nami?" Luffy wonders, before Nami flips the newspaper around for everyone to see.
Warning to East Blue! Ruthless Pirate Straw Hat Luffy Appears!
"They are aware of you Luffy! It states every single thing you've done to gain the government's attention! From massacring the Arlong Pirates as a child to murdering a World Noble! And they now have a picture of who is the cause of that!" Nami shouts, worry evident in her tone of voice. "They even have a warning that states that should you be seen, that the person who sees you immediately call Marine HQ! They know how dangerous you are Luffy! They will probably send an Admiral on us if we are recognized!"
Luffy is mentally smashing his head on an imaginary wall at this point, realizing that everything he has done is now coming to bite him in the metaphorical and quite possibly literal ass. 'Think Luffy… think think think think think! There's always a solution! You just have to find it!' Luffy thinks to himself as he walks around the deck. In only couple of moments, he gets hit with an epiphany. He looks at his now completely serious crewmates with his trademark D. smile. "Don't worry guys, I have a plan!" Luffy claims proudly.
His crewmates could only groan in anticipation.
A Day Later…
Chief Petty Officer Eduardo is having a stressful day today.
Captain Smoker has had everyone for the past four or so days be on high alert almost 24/7, leaving him in great need of sleep. And while he generally has the aid of his fellow marines and the wonderful Master Chief Petty Officer Tashigi for the first three days, She is currently running some errands for their Captain, Smoker.
"Man, I could really use some rest!" He complains, stretching himself in hopes of removing the creaks in his bones. As he finishes his stretches, he notices a ship coming towards the docks at an alarming speed. It's sails are furled up and it seems to be a paddleboat of sorts. Understandable since it's a rather calm day today, clear skies and all. The ship began slowing down once it reached the port. As per usual, he gets some of his fellow Marines to follow him as they walk towards the now docked ship. When they reach the ship, He notices that the women there are some of the most beautiful he has ever seen. Nevertheless, he has his duties to fulfill and musters up all the courage he could and prepares himself to speak to them.
"Excuse me sailors, We are going to need to see some Identification…" Eduardo and his fellow marines just halt at the sight of seeing a woman who looks exactly like a more mature version of his higher up Tashigi. Her beautiful black hair in a pinned up fashion, her clothing while quite covering, emphasizes the natural grace and beauty she beholds.
"Umm… Hello?" Kuina says with uncertainty, waving her hand slightly in front of their faces as to get their attentions, to no avail as the dazed marines just keep looking at her in an unnerving way.
"What's going on?" A new voice speaks, breaking the marines out of their trance. They look to see none other than Zoro, wearing a green and black jacket and red pants.
"Ah, umm, yes. I apologize for our staring. It's just that you just look like one of our superiors." Eduardo explains, getting nods from his fellow marines. "Anyways, we are here to inspect each ship searching for Straw Hat Luffy." He explains, getting nods from both swordsmen.
"Well we can assure you that Straw Hat Luffy is not on this ship. If he were, then it would be in chains." Kuina states seriously, with Zoro grunting in agreement.
"I'm sure you are telling the truth, but nevertheless, we have to inspect each and every ship that comes by to ensure that he is here. I apologize but it's our Captain's orders. I'm sure you understand." the marine officer states apologetically, not noticing the two sword users eyes being shadowed over.
"Oh we understand all right…" They mutter, as the rest of the Straw Hat crew go over to see what all the commotion is all about.
"Hey guys! What's going on?" A much smaller sized Luffy asks in a higher pitch voice than what his crewmembers are used to, dangling on the side of ship in a carefree manner.
"Nothing, just some Marines wanting to inspect our ship for a man named Luffy." Zoro states.
"From the newspaper?" Sanji chimes in.
"The very same." Kuina responds.
"Let them check the ship. They are only doing their job." Luffy states calmly.
'You are playing a very dangerous game here Luffy!' His crew mentally screams while trying to maintain their calm facades.
"If you insist." Marguerite replies, looking at each of her fellow crewmates, with each of them giving a nod in acknowledgement. "But a head's up Marines! Our rooms are off limits!" She states seriously, with many of the women glaring at the marines in agreement.
The now frighten marines do a hasty search all over the ship, finding nothing that can connect this crew with Straw Hat Luffy. After they finish the search, they get off the ship and bid the Straw Hat Pirates a good day.
"Holy shit I cannot believe that worked!" A relieved Usopp says, resting his body on the ship's mast.
"I told you guys it would work!" Luffy states in a much higher pitched voice, sound exactly like he would've in the first timeline.
His appearance is completely different to what they, the crew, are used to. Instead of being the six and a half foot tall muscular man he was, he is now in a form almost exactly like his original one in the first timeline. There are differences however, such as putting a bandage over the scar on the left side of his face, as well as being slightly shorter and more scrawnier than his original form. Though this by any means does not mean he is weaker, as he has merely compressed his mass into a much smaller form, still making him as strong as he should be. As to what he is wearing, he is wearing a miniature version of his Enies Lobby Outfit from the original timeline. As to his straw hat, he just put a black cover over it, covering most of it except for the ends of the brim.
"Y'know, even if I know it's you, It's still unsettling how you can change your physical body to pretty much any age you choose." Nami says, looking at Luffy weirdly.
"Yes, that is most definitely true, but we did not get recognized by the marines, so that should give us a good amount of breathing room to just get our necessities and leave." Kaya states, strapping her sword onto her hip. "I'll accompany Usopp and help him get his things." She says, grabbing Usopp by his shirt and jumping off the ship with him in tow.
Seeing as their fellow doctor and sniper went to do their own thing, The rest split up in groups, with the groups being Zoro and Kuina, Nami and Nojiko, Sanji and Marguerite, and Luffy being left to his own devices. After deciding it so, they went their separate ways for the time being.
With Zoro and Kuina…
"Why do I have to grab your hand again?" A blushing Zoro complains, embarrassed to be seen like this in public, being led by his best friend as if he is a lost child.
"Well I wouldn't have to if it weren't for you getting lost all of the damn time." Kuina reprimands, remembering all of the times that Zoro got side tracked in the past. He even got lost on a straight path damnit!
As they continue on through the streets, they look through some stores, searching for some katanas to use for sparring sessions, though to no avail as each and every store they visit don't have weapons with the quality they are looking for.
"Well, this store doesn't appear to have any good ones. They all were some cheap knock offs if you ask me." Kuina says, rather irritated that going through their fifth store to not find anything worth their time.
"Tch. Told you so." Zoro comments off handedly.
This sparked Kuina's anger. "What'd you say to me? Want to get your ass handed to you!?" Kuina threatens, prepared to take out Wado from it's sheathe.
"You heard me." A grin splits out of Zoro's face as he begins to take out Shisui, Kitetsu, and Yubashiri.
Before any of them could break out into a spar that they not done since joining Luffy's crew, they notice a commotion in the street.
"Yo! You ain't with that monster today, are you?" A portly sounding voice states menacingly as his crewmate snorts in amusement at the comment.
"Excuse me, you're being rude!" A woman's voice states in calm anger.
"Shut up!" A high pitched man's voice exclaims, "Thanks to him, our boss is locked up in jail!"
"Have you not given up yet?" She asks, clutching her parcel tightly.
"Now way! You chicken or something!?" The deep voice states, and with Zoro and Kuina, budging through the crowd, the see that the owner of the voice is a fat man with a jester hat. Alongside him is a skinny man with very funky clothing.
"We're going to send you back to him in pieces!" The funky skinny man shrills out, clutching his saber tightly.
"I understand. I will have to fight you." The woman says without an ounce of emotion, causing the two would be criminals to laugh at her words.
"That so baby?" "Don't make me laugh!" The two roar out in laughter. "What the hell can a little woman like you do?"
At those words, Zoro looks to his side to see Kuina not there beside him. 'Oh great, not again.' He thinks to himself, knowing that those sexist remarks that those wannabes blurted out will soon regret it since Kuina hates hearing those remarks, especially now that she can actually do something about it.
True to his words, the two men are cut down with extreme prejudice, With a furious Kuina behind the two criminal grunts. As she sheathes her sword, she turns around to see an astounded woman just staring at her, her glasses falling off of her face, making Kuina look at her in surprise.
'This woman looks exactly like me!' Kuina and Tashigi think to themselves, as they stare at each other for what seems to be a long time.
Zoro went up to Kuina before turning his head to look at Tashigi. He then looks back to Kuina,
And back to Tashigi,
And back to Kuina,
And once again to Tashigi,
After looking at Kuina for the last time he asks, "Well, Kuina, I did not know you had a twin sister." Zoro says in genuine awe.
This snaps the two out of their stupor, with Kuina looking insulted that he would insinuate that she is related to this woman.
Tashigi noticed the look and she too felt insulted. "What's with that look huh!?" she exclaims, before taking a notice of the swords the duo have strapped on their sides. She now realizes who is front of her right now.
These two are quite famous around this part of the East Blue, known for defeating their opponents with a brutal finesse that has to be seen to be believed. She's also heard a report about them recently that over two weeks ago they caused chaos on Shells Town, killing ex-Captain Morgan and apparently slicing through the Marine Base stationed there.
And they have famous Meitos strapped on their hips.
Wado Ichimonji, Yubashiri, Sandai Kitetsu, and Shusui.
Her eyes widen at the sight of seeing such amazing blades in front of her, before narrowing them at the realization that these bounty hunters have such wonderful swords. She could feel the top of her head heat up with anger at the fact that these two are using those blades for their own greedy purposes. To her, swords are not meant to be used that way, they are a symbol of justice and protection in her eyes.
She can feel her face redden even more when she notices that the duo are now laughing at her. "What's so funny!?" She exclaims, taking out Shigure from its sheath and pointing the sword at the two.
At that, the two started laughing even harder. "You really haven't noticed?" Kuina asks in bewilderment, trying her hardest to stifle her laughter so as to speak coherently.
Tashigi is now just as confused as she is angry. 'What does she mean?' she thinks to herself before feeling a warm liquid drip down her forehead and onto her nose.
"CAW! CAW! CAW!"
Right as she hears that, the smell hits her like a ton of bricks, making her scream in disgust as she heads to the nearest public restroom she can find so as to remove the bird's shit from her head.
"Ahh…" Zoro sighs in content as he looks at the bird that took a freedom dump on Kuina's clone. 'I certainly am enjoying my day so far, I wonder how the others are doing?' he asks himself before feeling his hand being grabbed by his rival/best friend, who is giving him a knowing smile as she tugs him away from the area.
'Nevermind. I hope their day is going just as bad as mine.'
With Sanji and Marguerite…
Sanji's day couldn't go any better! First off, the lovely Second-in-Command Marguerite-chwan chose to go with him to get some fresh ingredients! Not to mention, whenever she finds something of interest, a look of a child's innocence flashes on her face for a moment before going back to her natural wondrous expression! Just seeing that is making his day!
Though he has always wondered, how did she and Luffy meet in the first place? 'Don't tell me!' he gasps, unknowingly getting Marguerite's attention. 'Is Marguerite-chwan also one of Luffy's so-called girlfriends!?' He exclaims to himself in his mind, not realizing that Marguerite is crouching under him, looking at his face as she tries to get his attention.
"Earth to Sanji, are you listening to me?" she asks once more, flicking his forehead to get his attention.
"Huh? Oh, apologies Marguerite-chan, it seems I was lost in thought." Sanji apologizes, making Marguerite shake her, where he can hear her mutter about men and their strange tendencies. "Umm… Marguerite-chan, If it is alright, might I ask you a question about Luffy?"
"Sure, go on right ahead." She answers.
"Are… You and Luffy close?" Sanji asks, a little hesitant on what to expect.
"Yes, we are really close." Marguerite replies, answering the question in a heartbeat.
"Close like Hancock-chwan and Robin-chwan?" Sanji asks once more with a hint of jealousy in his words. Well why wouldn't he? Yesterday Luffy showed his crew a group photo of Luffy and two absolutely stunning women with him. He then went on to explain to them that the taller of the two is the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, leaving the other to be Nico Robin. Of course, any sane man would be jealous of the fact that someone is in a relationship with two radiant women whose beauty should only be described in poetry.
Back with Marguerite, she let out a light chuckle at the question, amused that the crew's cook would think that. "No, I am close to Luffy, but I don't have a relationship like that with him." She states, causing Sanji to sigh in relief.
'I have a chaaaance~!' he sings internally to himself out of joy. "So you're not in a relationship then." Sanji states more than asks.
He immediately notices the slight blush that imprints itself on Marguerite's face, and also notices that she is just a tad bit more resigned now. "Well, I wouldn't say that." she semi-whispers out, rubbing her arm as to calm herself down.
Sanji is now confused. "But didn't you say-?"
"-That I am not in a relationship with Luffy. Yes, I did say that, but that doesn't mean that I am not in a relationship." She interrupts, causing Sanji to just look at her with a blank face. "Uh, Sanji are you alright?" She asks him.
"Oh… yes, I'm quite alright. If you don't mind, I'm going back to the ship to put the supplies there. You can continue enjoying yourself here, If you need me, I'll be at the ship." He responds in a tone that for some reason sounds dead to Marguerite.
"I just don't understand men. What do you think Calla?" She asks her bow-snake, to which the bow-snake now known as Calla shrugs in response.
Men are weird.
Sanji on the other hand, just had a look of despair as he looks at the sky, which is now beginning to get cloudy, compared to earlier in the day when there were no clouds to speak of. 'Where's my love dammit!?' He mentally roars out, glaring at the sky in hopes to receive any form of answer.
Unknowingly to him, two women in the New World sneeze immediately after he thought the sentence. The first one looking out the window of the compound she is in, wishing everything was back to as it was before he came here, while the other one rages at the fact that she ruined the batch of chocolate she made and now has to make a new one from scratch.
With Luffy…
Luffy walks down the streets with a sense of nostalgia, remembering the first time he was here on this island. His first encounter with Smoker, getting to see the stand where Ace's father, Gol D. Roger was executed, and his first publicized cry to become The Pirate King.
As he walks through the streets, he senses a presence all too familiar to him, a presence of someone so loyal to him that his Loyalty rivals that of his own crewmates. He walks towards the direction he senses the presence, before finally looking at the person he hasn't seen in a long, long time.
Bartolomeo.
All of those moments they had together, how he always has supported not only him, but each and every single one his crewmates in whichever endeavor.
Then he died.
His death wasn't in vain though. If it weren't for his sacrifice, Zoro wouldn't have been able to finish off the last Gorosei standing, the Gorosei wielding a sword similar to one of Zoro's swords.
WIth utmost confidence, Luffy walked up to him and his gang. "Hello!" Luffy says, walking up to them without a care in the world.
"Hm? What'd ya want ya brat?" Bartolomeo questions, looking at Luffy with a side glare, his lackeys also looking at time traveller with raised eyebrows.
Luffy merely smiles, just basking in the feeling of his great friend's presence. "I just want to know where the execution stand is at. You guys seem really knowledgeable of this place." Luffy says, his trademark grin beaming on his face.
Before Bartolomeo could shrug Luffy off, an old lady comes up to him, with a gentle smile greeting him. "If you go towards that general direction, sooner or later you'll find yourself in town square, where the execution platform is located."She explains, getting gaping expressions from the gangsters around her.
"Grandma! I was going to send him away!" Bartolomeo exclaims in shock, looking at his grandma before looking at luffy with a stern stare. "Well, you heard her! Go on your merry way kid."
Luffy did as Bartolomeo said, not taking his words by heart, knowing that he will soon become one of his greatest allies and friends.
As Luffy walks away, Bartolomeo, for some reason he couldn't fathom, just couldn't keep his eyes off of him.
"What's wrong leader?" Gambia asks.
"Nothing, just thinking." Bartolomeo replies, before walking away from his group, going through streets different from the ones Luffy is going through, but with the same destination. 'Something about that kid doesn't seem right, but I won't know unless I confirm my suspicions.' He thinks to himself.
Luffy after about ten or so minutes, finds himself in front of the square, looking at the platform where the Pirate King died. 'Heh, I never really did get to enjoy myself when I went up there. I have a second chance so might as well.' He thinks to himself, ready to jump on the platform.
Before he can do so, he dodges a bullet, aimed right where his head used to be, with said bullet hitting a random civilian in the shoulder. The sudden loud bang that came immediately after and the pained scream alerted all of the civilians in the vicinity, causing many of them to flee the are as soon as possible. The Marines at this point were already mobilizing much of their forces to the townsquare to stop anymore harm from happening, with some of them calling the base to let them know of the situation. At the same time, many hundreds of people covered in cloaks started rushing into the town square, aiming their guns at Luffy.
"What's this all about?" Luffy asks, actually interested as to why they are attacking him, especially considering that his current form looks nothing like what his wanted poster shows.
One of the men in cloaks took off his hood, revealing himself to be none other than Buggy the Clown. "You know damn well why we would attack you Straw Hat, even if you look different, your presence will always be the same!" Buggy roars out, with each and every single cloaked person taking down their hoods to reveal themselves to be members of the Buggy Pirates.
Deciding to get on Higher ground, Luffy jumps from his position onto the execution platform. Once he gets on there, he notices a presence coming from above, and smacks him away before he can do anything.
As Cabaji is thrown towards Buggy's general direction, Buggy uses him as a stepping stone to get on equal ground with Luffy. As Buggy lands on the platform, staring right into Luffy's eyes, all of Loguetown's Marines start swarming from every single direction, blocking any escape path the pirates could use. Leading them is of course Captain Smoker as well as Master Chief Petty Officer Tashigi, both of which are prepared for anything these measly pirates can throw at them.
"Buggy! You and your crew are under arrest! Put your weapons down and do not resist!" Smoker commands, pointing his jitte at him and his general direction. "If you release the kid as well, then I might have the incentive to give you and your crew a lighter sentence." Smoker continues, Many of the Marines being careful as to make sure they don't aim at the seemingly helpless child.
Buggy, thinking that he is running out of options, is suddenly given an idea by what Smoker says. If they don't know that this child is indeed Luffy, then he can get away scot-free while he and his crew have to deal with the Marines in what would most likely be a losing battle. But on the other hand, If they find out that this 'kid' in front of them is indeed Luffy, then he'll have no choice but to help them escape if he wants to escape himself.
Preparing himself, Buggy sets his plan in motion. "Hey Smoker! This guy right here isn't a kid! He is the 460 Million bounty man you have been looking for! Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy!" Buggy exclaims, causing almost all of the Marines to gape at Buggy's ridiculous claim. Luffy on the other hand, has an expression similar to that of Enel in his first timeline when he realized lightning doesn't work on rubber.
Smoker narrows his eyes at Buggy and begins to transform into his elemental form. "Do you honestly think that would work on us!? There is no way that that kid on the platform next to you is Monkey D. Luffy himself!" Smoker yells at Buggy, who is now thinking that his plan could've had some more thought put into it. Smoker then looks at Luffy, with Luffy sweating bullets, and decides to humor Buggy for a quick moment before he gets to kicking his ass.
Poetic justice really.
"Hey kid, now I know you're not Luffy, but can you tell that piece of scum that you are not Luffy of the Straw Hat Pirates." Smoker asks, shaking his head that he actually asking this question to an innocent who probably has better things to do than be here and be a hostage to this derange clown reject.
There is silence.
'Hmm?' Smoker hums to himself, wondering why the civilian hasn't answered his question yet, looks up to the platform and sees the young teen looking away from him, his lips point towards the left, where the only thing towards his left being the wall behind the execution stand, and waving his hand in front of his face. "I'm not Monkey D. Luffy… I am just a regular old meat eater just like you guys." Luffy lies so badly that you would have to be a hypocritical idiot to not see the blatant lie in front of them.
"Sounds Legit!" a random Marine says in the distance, making Smoker swear that when he finds the recruit that said that, that he's going to make him go through three years of Kizaru's Class of Common Sense.
"Yeah we don't believe you." most of the skeptical Marines say, aiming their weapons at not only at Buggy and his cohorts, but now at the person who doesn't look like Luffy, but they say is Luffy.
Luffy at this point just gives up at giving a low profile, "You know what? Screw this! I'm doing this the old fashion way!" Luffy exclaims, his body now glowing a soft, whitish blue light. As the light dims down, they now see the person on the recent bounty posters, breaking multiple records on fastest growing bountie all the way to how high the bounty is on itself. The height is there, the scar under his left cheek, and his trademark straw hat, resting on the top of his head. Luffy looks on at the many, many faces looking on at him in utter horror and terror, wondering what a man with such a massive bounty is going to do to them, the Marines.
Luffy smiles sheepishly as he lets out a goodhearted chuckle.
"Well… You guys found me!"
Well... How will our favorite captain get out of this totally impossible situation!? Will Sanji ever find love!? Will Zoro finally grow a pair and try to figure out his feelings for his rival!? What are the other two groups that haven't been mentioned in the story doing while this is happening!? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z- wait, wait, wait! wrong universe! I mean find out next time on the next chapter of The Rubbery Vengeance!
Anywho, thank you so much you guys for all of the support you have all given me. I really appreciate it. As always, make sure to favorite, follow, and review! Constructive criticism is always appreciated and I respect all of your guy's opinion, so if any of you are ever confused by any part of this story, or are in need of some advise or help with a One Piece fanfic, feel free to send me a PM! I will try to get back to any of you as soon as I can. Thank you once again, ad I hope to hear from you all soon.

P.S.: Do You Kno Da Wae?
