3 Weeks Later

Garp, Luffy's grandpa a Very Tall Bulky man had came back for a break from his duty of vice admiral to visit Luffy and was currently kicking Luffy's ass on a navy boat in the middle of the ocean

"Let me go you old bastard!" Luffy cried out in pain and anger

"The hell kind of way is to talk to your grandpa you little runt!" Garp roared as he hit Luffy another 3 times

"How the hell are you hurting me I'm supposed to turn to wate-OOF" yelled Luffy as he got hit again

"Ha it's called the Fist Of Love brat and stop swearing little shit (hypocrite)" exclaimed Garp

Suddenly a marine soldier came in the room and informed them that they see land, which in turn caused Garp to finally stop beating the living shit out of Luffy and drag his ass outside

"Listen up Luffy I'm dropping you off at this island for 2 months in that time the person you'll be living with will stuff some manners into you and hopefully make you want to be a marine," said Garp mildly horrifying Luffy

"O-Oi I'm supposed to train take me back you old fart!" yelled Luffy instantly covering his face for a punch that surprisingly never came

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that brat and don't worry after this you will the rest of your life to train to be a marine," said Garp

Luffy just ignored his grandpa not wanting another beating

On The Island

"Alright men stay on the ship ill be back shortly is that understood!" Garp commanded more than asked

"YES SIR" replied the Marines

'Alright, brat let's go!" Garp said to Luffy surprisingly calm for once

Luffy just followed while grumbling something about how Garp is stupid and such

"Now Luffy Listen" Garp Began "When we get there be on your best behavior you understand otherwise THAT person will make you regret it"

Luffy just gulped actually fearing for his life

Later in the woods outside a house

"Alright we're finally here!" said Garp as he went to knock on the door once, then twice and then TEN more times

Luffy just sweatdropped at his Grandpa's lack of patience

"I'M COMING, I'M COMING GEEZ" came a half-demon, half feminine voice from the inside, causing Garp to mentally shit his pants and stop knocking

Luffy just stood there trying to look cute in hopes that he won't die if he acts cute

Finally, the door opened and out came a Tall woman with long fuchsia hair with a Chelsea hawk haircut

"Dammit Garp how many times have I told you to knock like a normal person!" she yelled when she saw Garp

The woman didn't notice the child hiding behind his grandpa's leg on the point of fainting

"Aaah Bellmere it's been a long time how ya been" said Garp trying to change the subject

"I was fine till you came!" said Bellmere clearly not ready to deal with his shit this early in the morning

"Well anyway why are you here?" asked Bellmere

"Ah Yeah i was wondering if you could help teach my grandson some manners, by having him live with you for the next 2 months or so" asked Garp sweating

Luffy just sweatdropped at this 'he didn't even tell her beforehand' Luffy thought

"Do I look like some babysitting service to you Old Man!" yelled Bellmere, while gaining a shit ton of respect from Luffy for having the guts to say that and actually not getting hit

"Listen I understand how you feel but he's not as bad as you think all he needs is things like table manners and some speech manners" Garp pleaded

"Fine then so where is he" Bellmere finally gave in

"Right here," said Garp making Luffy stand in front of him

Bellmere just looked at him, she didn't even notice him standing there, he was also extremely cute and was currently using puppy dog eyes to what she assumed was hopes of not getting hit

Bellmere snickered at this

"Hey kid what's your name," asked Bellmere

Luffy suddenly gaining back his confidence grinned like an idiot and said: "Hi, I'm Monkey D Luffy and I'm gonna be King Of The Pirates!"

Bellmere looked at him with slightly widened eyes, then she burst out laughing, The irony of the Grandson of the Hero Of The Marines wanting to be The Pirate King made her crack

Garp just hit Luffy's head again for putting up a terrible first impression

When Bellmere finally stopped laughing she asked "So I'm guessing this is also something you need help with"

Garp just scratched the back of his head and said "It's not something I expect you to fix, he is extremely stubborn just sort out his manners a bit for me please"

Luffy just turned with Unnaturally widened eyes and said: "Holy crap did you just say Please!"

Bellmere just Laughed even harder at this to the point when she was bending over clutching her stomach

Garp just cleared his throat and said "This is ex-marine Bellmere she will be taking care of you for the next 2 months"

Bellmere finally stopped laughing and heard Luffy say "nice to meet ya"

"Nice to meet ya too kid" Bellmere responded

"Anyways I'll get out of your hair now," said Garp as he began to leave "Behave Luffy!" he yelled back

As soon as Garp Left Luffy's stomach grumbled he turned to Bellmere with puppy dog eyes and asked: " Can I please have something to eat?"

Bellmere just sighed and lead him inside the house

After Luffy's 'Meal'

Bellmere learned to never Ever underestimate his appetite, the kid ate 2 times more than her!

He also sometimes used his hands to which she whacked him on the head telling him to use some utensils

Luffy was shocked she could hit him but just left it be as some astronomical power he could never understand

She is lucky her husband left back a lot of supplies for her

Luffy while he didn't have the best of manners was still a good kid, he would give thanks for the food before eating and was caring as well, forced Bellmere to eat some of his when she barely had anything

She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Luffy ask "who are these people" while looking at a picture

Bellmere went up to him and saw he was referring to the picture of her and her family

"That's my Family Luffy," she said

She first pointed to Genzo a dark-skinned man with a Moustache and a pinwheel hat "that's my husband"

"WOW IS THAT A PINWHEEL HAT SO COOL!" Luffy exclaimed with stars in his eyes

Bellmere chuckled at this and continued "that's Nojiko" she said while pointing to a blue-haired girl with semi-dark skin

"Blue hair that's so cool!" Luffy exclaimed again with stars in his eyes

Bellmere was getting convinced that "so cool" was his catchphrase

And finally, she pointed to a girl with orange hair and light skin

"And this is Nami" Bellmere finished

Luffy just stood there kind of shocking Bellmere he didn't say his catchphrase again then suddenly "Does everyone in your family use hair dye or something" Bellmere heard him say and a second later bending over Laughing her ass off

When Bellmere finally calmed down she told Luffy how her daughters and she weren't related by blood but she still considers them family, to which Luffy replied

"That makes sense I have someone back home named Makino who is like an older sister to me," said Luffy, then he added, "Oh and she is also very pretty and has green hair!"

Bellmere just blinked at how he went from serious to a total idiot within a span of seconds

"She sounds nice" Bellmere replied while snickering

"So where is your family?" Luffy asked

"Well my daughters have always wanted to get off the island for a trip, so my husband decided to take them to some tropic island for 3 months, I decided to stay back to take care of my tangerine grove" replied Bellmere clearly a little bit sad

"Oh i see you must miss them huh?" asked Luffy

"Well i do but i'm happy that Nami and Nojiko get to go have some fun at least" Bellmere replied

Luffy isn't as dumb as people may think seeing as how this was affecting her he decided to change the subject

"Wait a minute, weren't you saying something about a tangerine grove," Luffy asked hoping to lighten up the mood

Well to say it worked was an understatement

Bellmere instantly brightened up and dragged Luffy to show him her Tangerine grove

Luffy was in awe at all the tangerines there were so many!

Bellmere then went and picked a tangerine that looked ripe and gave it to Luffy

"Here try one these are my prized possessions in a way you can say they are my Treasure," said Bellmere with a giant grin

Luffy understood completely what she meant by that he had his straw hat after all

Luffy accepted the fruit gratefully and like the idiot he is was about to take a bite out of the fruit with the skin still on when Bellmere took it off him and peeled it for him

When Luffy ate it he looked like he just came back from heaven, his face was all dazed as well, then he said: "Sooo Good"

Bellmere just laughed at him then said: "Good cause if ya didn't like them, I'd make you face hell itself"

Luffy gulped hard, happy the fruit tasted good and he didn't say something stupid

2 Weeks Later

Bellmere was watching Luffy 'train' as he somehow did more push-ups in a minute than her husband has ever done in his life

Though a kid Luffy was a monster for his age, and not to mention he keeps going on and on about becoming the Pirate King

Bellmere though she wouldn't admit it has become attached to the idiot

She was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts when Luffy came up to her and hugged her out of nowhere

To say she was surprised was kind of an understatement

Luffy had also become quite attached to Bellmere even if she could be mean at times.

"I'm tired" muttered Luffy and then yawning right after

It was quite late at night to be fair

Bellmere carried him to Nami and Nojiko's room which he has been sleeping for the past 2 weeks

When she laid him down in bed she decided to sit next to him and talk, it has practically become a tradition the past week onwards that they talk a bit before the sleep

She put his straw hat on the bedside

She then asked him: "Why do you want to become a pirate so much" she would lie if she said she hasn't been curious, he was always rambling on about it

Luffy looked at her then sat up

"Well i made a promise" he said

Bellmere cocked an eyebrow, what kind of promise involves becoming a pirate

Luffy then continued

"My entire life I have always been alone, i never knew who my mum and dad were, grandpa is never home and when he is all he does he beat me up for the smallest mistakes and force me to be a marine. Sure there is Makino but she has a job and she is busy most of the time.

Bellmere then looked at him and asked: "What don't you have any friends?"

Luffy just smiled and said: "All the kids hate me" Bellmere's eyes widened an extreme amount

How can someone hate Luffy she wondered

"Why?" she asked

"I don't know, they just do, they call me things like Monster and Freak, they say it's because I survived a few days in the jungle when gramps threw me in for training" replied Luffy looking emotionless but like he was going to burst any second at the same time

Bellmere was now utterly furious, Luffy was singled out his whole life just because he survived and to top it all off it was that old dumbass's fault

Luffy then continued: Then 2 years ago pirates came to our island, They were called the Red Hair Pirates"

Bellmere's eyes widened, She knew about them apparently the leader was in Gol D Roger's crew

"Their Captain named Shanks saw me always sitting by myself and he approached me one day asked me if i wanted to be his friend. I was so happy then no one ever asked me that" said Luffy his face brightening up a bit

Bellmere was little shocked but not too much, after all when she was a marine she was only devoted to taking down 'Bad' pirates who only plunder and well stick to the stereotype

"After that I became friends with the rest of his crew and always begged them to take me on their voyages, they refused each time saying i was too weak, I would always get angry and yell but they just laughed"

"Then a month ago from now this stupid bandit came in the bar we always hang out in he spilled a lot of booze on Shanks and he just laughed it off, i called him a lot of names as well like stupid and coward" Luffy's smile dipped at that

Bellmere also looked at Luffy understanding that he is just a kid and couldn't possibly have known Shanks did the right thing

"I also ate a Devil Fruit while all that was happening" Luffy added

Bellmere's eyes popped out at that "What!, Which one any why?"

I ate it because I was hungry and I didn't know what it was, and the one I ate was a hybrid devil fruit but I didn't find that out until much later, the powers it had was rubber which is the one I knew about and water which i found out later"

Bellmere just looked at him purely shocked "C-Can ya show me?"

Luffy just stretched his cheek very far out showing his rubber powers, than he turned his hand into water

Bellemere looked at him and asked: "well since you have water powers can you swim?" Luffy nodded A LOT with a GIANT GRIN

Bellmere nearly fell off the bed this kid just ate a devil fruit and doesn't even have the only weakness of not being able to swim

Soon after she regained her composure Luffy continued

"A few days after that he saw me getting punched by this kid i was trying to play with" Bellmere's anger suddenly rose at that "I was sitting alone after that and he still came and comforted me even after everything I said to him"

Bellmere smiled pirate or not Shanks was a pretty nice guy

Luffy continued: "A few weeks later that bandit guy and his crew showed up again at the bar, Shanks and his crew were on a voyage at the time, they started talking badly about Shanks and i got angry and yelled at them, i also punched the boss and gave him a bloody face" Luffy's face brightened a lot at that and he started chuckling

Bellmere just sighed and shook her head

"After that they started beating me up a lot" Luffy stated

Bellmere winced but asked: "Shouldn't their attacks go through you since you are water?"

Luffy nodded and said: " apparently since i was thinking of being rubber and stuff my water power didn't activate, but I still don't understand how you can hit me though" Luffy pouted at that

Bellmere just snickered and said: "who knows"

Luffy continued his story: "They were about to kill me when Makino showed up with the Mayor, they offered him money but he didn't agree then Shanks and his crew suddenly appeared!" Luffy said with star eyes

Bellmere just listened intently amused by his antics

"Shanks was so cool! He made this cool speech and everything then some of his crew beat up the bandits, but the leader used a smoke bomb and escaped with me"

Bellmere sweatdropped 'seriously after all that he just escapes like that'

"The guy threw me in the water but got eaten by a sea king" Bellmere smirked "Then the sea king saw me and was about to eat me when Shanks appeared and saved me"

"He just looked at it and said 'Get Lost' and he swam away"

'Conqueror's haki' Bellmere thought

"But" Luffy began "He lost his left arm saving me" Bellmere's eyes widened at this "He didn't even care he just thanked me for fighting for him and said 'it's just an arm'

Bellmere was surprised she hasn't ended up in the hospital due to shock yet, the amount of times she has been shocked tonight is impeccable

"Then when he was about to leave i asked him if i could go with him to get stronger and protect my friends, I also told him i would surpass him and become the pirate king, surprisingly he didn't laugh and agreed and said he will be back in 2 years and if im strong enough he will take me with him. He also gave me this" Luffy picked up his hat

"He told me to take care of it and that it was very precious to him"

Bellmere blinked in realization, 'so that's why he protects that thing like a mother does her child' she thought in awe and a bit of amusement at her remark

"And yeah that's the story" Luffy finished

Bellmere looked at him she understood completely why he wanted to be a pirate so bad. Then she realized 2 years

"Wait What 2 years you are leaving with Shanks!" Bellmere screamed in shock finally understanding the magnitude of the situation

"Yep don't tell gramps Makino said she will deal with him when the time comes" Luffy grinned

Bellmere officially fainted on Luffy from shock and the both of them ended up sleeping like that.

A Month Later

Luffy was running around the house for some god forsaken reason when he suddenly slipped and fell. A framed picture fell on him cushioned by his stomach. He picked it up and saw a map drawn very expertly

He picked up the map and took it to Bellmere to ask her about it

"Hey Bellmere what is this?" Luffy asked

Bellmere looked and saw the first and only map Nami drew so far

"Oh that is a map Nami drew" Bellmere answered waiting for his reaction

Luffy's eyes popped out, a child made this!

Bellmere smirked at his reaction

"Good isn't it"

Luffy just nodded dumbly

"She says her dream is to draw a map of the world when she grows up" said Bellmere

Luffy snapped out of his daze

"Woah that is gonna take a lot of time and she will need to be strong and stuff as well" Luffy replied in his very rare moment of smartness

Bellmere nodded "Well you know if you want you can try to make her join your crew you are gonna be Pirate King after all right"

Luffy thought about it then nodded vigorously "Yeah that would be cool but only if she wants to though"

Bellmere rose an eyebrow at this then chuckled "Sure whatever you want to do"

2 Weeks Later

Luffy and Bellmere had officially become very close

Bellmere thought of him as a son even while Luffy thought of her as the closest thing he is going to get to a mother

Lots of things have happened since Luffy first arrived, Luffy learned table manners, not that he will ever really use them, he learned how to tell if tangerines were ripe or not and a few more things

Bellmere had also become more easy going and gained the patience of a goddess

It was finally time for Luffy to leave and return to Fuusha Village

Luffy was hugging Bellmere and she was doing the same

"I'll see you in 8 years" said Luffy

"Oh are you gonna visit me?" Bellmere jokes

"Yeah and also have to see if Nami wants to become a part of my crew" stated Luffy

Bellmere blinked and smiled "I'll be waiting then better come back big and strong"

"Come on Luffy Let's go we're running late!" Yelled Garp

"I'm coming Cya Bellmere" Luffy yelled

Bellmere watched him sail off then went home and sat alone, 'this is going to be a long month waiting for those 3' she thought

Authors Note: That's another chapter done so soon as well. The support the first chapter got in such a short amount of time motivated me to do more. Also thanks to the people reviewed the first chapter it was a very good motivation

Next chapter will just be a lot of drabbles of Luffy with shanks and his crew so be ready for that. I don't really know a lot of bellmere personality since she died in an episode but yeah i tried
