This is a what if Luffy was raised by the Whitebeard Pirates. Luffy is also going to be a bit OC as he is going to be smart, and calculative later down the line, also not as naive, but I am still going to try and make him be goofy like in canon to the best of my ability. He will also have a different will also eventually be powerful, maybe even overpowered.

Chapter 1: The Visit and Baby
On a ship in the New World
There is a man inside the ship's quarters wearing a green cloak holding a newborn baby. 'I'm sorry, but it is too dangerous for him to stay there; this is for his own good' the man thinks. He looks down on the baby and notices he is still crying as he had been woken up earlier when ships were shooting at his vessel when he was getting away. "I have to keep you safe, but you I know you will not be safe with me Luffy" he says out loud speaking to himself. 'You deserve freedom and the opportunity to follow your own dreams, but if the World Government ever discovered you are my son you would be hunted down, and your grandfather would just try to make you into a marine by highly questionable training methods I don't even know how the old geezer even comes up or even thinks they are good ideas'.

1 Month Later- On the Moby Dick
"Pops, are you sure this is a good idea yoi?" says a man with blonde hair wearing a purple long sleeve dress shirt unbuttoned showing his Whitebeard tattoo, with a light blue waist sash, wearing black pants that stop mid way between his knee and ankle, and also wearing tall sandals.
"GURARARA" Whitebeard's loud laughter boomed through the deck "Let's just wait and see what Garps rebellious brat wants with us as I'm curious myself".
"Boat incoming!" yells Haruta
"Is it him?" asks Izo.
"Let it get closer and see what it does." says Whitebeard.
30 minutes later the boat is on the side of the Moby Dick, "Permission to board Newgate" asked Dragon.
"Permission granted though why does Garps brat want to talk to me?" says Whitebeard. Dragon looked at him before he pulled his arms out of his cloak holding a baby as the crew saw this their eyes were wide open in shock.
In Dragons arm was a baby no older than a month. "This is my son" he said.
Whitebeard looked at him with narrowed eyes he asked "And why do you come here and tell me this?".
As Dragon looks at Whitebeard straight into his eyes he says "I came to ask if you could raise him as I know if the World Government ever found out I was his father they would hunt him, and no child should be hunted because of the blood in his veins. I want him to be free and able to follow his own path and I know my father cares deeply for his family and would love his grandson regardless, but if I left him with my father he would most likely grow up alone and be told to be a marine."
When he finished all of the Commanders were looking at the baby in his arms then Whitebeard decided to ask "Whos the brat's mother?".
"A loving woman, but if he had stayed there he would not have the freedom I want him to have he would be chained down" Dragon answered.
As he said this Luffy woke and grabbed his fathers free hand and started to play with it. Thatch the 4th division commander looked at this with stars in his eyes gawking stupidly at the baby Dragon noticed this and said "Although if you decide to take him his appetite is like a black hole as he seems to always be hungry."
Thatch looked at him and said "I'm the head chef if he's here the little kid is never going to be hungry. Most of my siblings already eat like animals either way" he said while looking at the 14th division commander Jiru.
"What's the kids name yoi?" Marco decided to ask.
"Monkey D. Luffy" Dragon responded.
As Whitebeard looked on he asked "What if he wonders and asks who his real father is?".
Dragon looked at Luffy "Just tell him the truth, as I'm pretty sure that we will meet eventually and for him to chase his own dreams".
"Monkey D. Luffy, GURARARA, Welcome home my dear son" he said smiling. As he said this the commanders smiled and Marco went up to Dragon so he could hand him over.
As Dragon was about to leave he handed Marco a white and black beaded necklace which he knew was for Luffy. As Dragon left the Commanders surrounded Marco trying to get a better look at the baby.
Haruta and Thatch thought the baby was adorable and were constantly pushing each other while telling Marco to let them hold him. As this was happening Izo noticed the baby's eyes and asked "Why are his eyes a different color from one another?"
As he said this Haruta and Thatch stopped and everybody looked at his eyes and noticed that his left eye was blue while his right was black "He also has black and white hair I guess he inherited distinct things from both parents" Vista said. As Whitebeard and the commanders saw Luffy playing with Marcos hand they all smiled and knew they were going to protect their new little brother/son.

Luffy was an energetic kid who was always playing and messing with whoever was taking care of him as most of the time it was Marco, Thatch, Izo, Haruta, and occasionally Pops when they sat him on his lap. The commanders argued at first as they said they were too busy already taking care of the "kids" in their division.
Thatch was still baffled at how much Luffy ate as he wondered what in the hell were up with all the D's and their stomachs. He didn't even want to think how much the brat was going to eat when he was older. Luffy suddenly fell asleep with the baby bottle still in his mouth somehow miraculously still sucking on it.
Marco looked on with a smile on his face "We finally got a couple hours of peace."
Haruta just looked and said "If he doesn't get hungry and wake up in 10 minutes hungry again, kids never gets full."

Couple Months Later
Thatch was in his room working on paperwork with Luffy sitting on his lap playing with his toy then suddenly as Thatch was writing Luffy pushed his arm messing up the entire paper. As Thatch looks at Luffy with eyes containing no hope in as he feels like he was a kid who went to school and did the homework but when he was almost done realizes it wasn't even the right one.
After what transpired, Thatch takes the 9 month old Luffy to the deck where Marco, Haruta, Izo, and Whitebeard are. As he gets there the commanders look at Thatch and already know what happened as they had all been through it and felt the pain. As Thatch sits down Luffy starts moving around seeming like he wanted to get free as Thatch let him go and put him on the floor the commanders looked on he started to crawl as he had learned to crawl 2 months back and when that happened suddenly every commander wanted to take care of him and kept spoiling him like proud mothers.
As he kept crawling across the deck he made his way to Whitebeard and started hitting his boot Whitebeard saw this and brought down his hand and Luffy made his way on top of it. As Whitebeard sat him on his lap Luffy looked at him and raised his hand as he signaled he wanted to go up so he brought him up and Luffy tried to hug him but Whitebeard was too big as he did this everyone smiled looking at their little brother.
After that they all saw Luffy fall asleep with a smile on his face while in Whitebeard's hand hugging him "He seems to really like you Pops." Marco said.
Whitebeard just smiled and looked at his youngest son who was sleeping. " I almost don't want the brat to grow up. He is going to make me feel old, GURARARA" he laughed.
"He's going to be something big when he's older and we're going to have to protect him," Teach, who had just come back from a mission said.
Thatch looked at him and said " That we are Teach no one's going to hurt our little brother".

Couple of Months later the entire crew is on deck celebrating their little brother Luffy's first birthday. While everybody is drinking and partying Marco is holding Luffy next to Thatch who barely started drinking but was weaker than people getting drunk off a Whiteclaw but was acting like he had finished an entire bottle of Hennessy.
As Thatch bumped into Marco he said "Give the kid some".
Marco looked at him eyes twitching and said "Do it and I'll drop overboard yoi, also it would be embarrassing when a year old kid could handle alcohol better than you."
Thatch looked at him like he was crazy "I'm not stupid enough to give a kid alcohol its apple juice you stupid glowing chicken".
Marco's eyes were twitching ever more now "At least my hair doesn't look like I have an overgrown walnut on my head yoi".
Thatch just touched his hair while fake tears were coming out and continued to drink. Marco looked at Luffy who had fallen asleep and said "We're crazy for throwing this big party when you won't even remember anything, but we have to celebrate your birthday ever since you arrived. You have put a smile on everyone's faces."
"I can't wait until he grows up so he can party with the rest of the family", Teach said who was eating a cherry pie with a smile on his face.
"He's probably going to eat all the food and leave the entire supply empty yoi" Marco said looking at Teach. "He's probably going to be close to you since you're both D's yoi." Marco said as he as he got up and started taking Luffy to the room so they could fall sleep peacefully.
"I hope we do commander" Teach said to himself with a wide grin on his face.
Authors Notes
That's it for the first chapter of my first ever story. I'm sorry if it sucks especially if my attempt at trying to make it funny and instead made it cringy and is rough or repetitive on the transitions between dialogue and events as I have always struggled with that. About the story I always liked this What If ever since I saw how Whitebeard referred to his crew and treated them since Marineford I always imagined what would happen if Luffy was raised by them so that is why I wrote it.
I am going to shout out some stories you most likely have already read but I got a lot of inspiration from them and how I'm going to do some things.
1: The Beginning of a Future Pirate King by xXDia-RoseXx
2: Unexpected Emergencies by blueh
3: To Save A Brothers Life by Rikaeus (Is Yaoi if your into that but I personally read it and liked the thing he did with some DF)
If I use something inspired from your story which you do not want me to use just PM me and I will delete the chapter in which the particular thing was used in.
