Chapter 2: Growing Up
On the Moby Dick
It had been a couple of months since Luffy's birthday party and the commanders were on the deck looking at Marco helping Luffy attempt to walk with a pacifier in his mouth as that was the thing that kept him from always crying and screaming.
After 15 minutes Luffy managed to stand by himself and he started walking slowly towards Whitebeard. As he got there Pops picked him up, and Luffy started reaching out towards him while giggling and all of a sudden Luffy managed to say "Papa pa...pa".
"GURARARA, so you finally are starting to talk my son," said Whitebeard with a big smile on his face looking at Luffy.
The commanders were looking with a smile on their face as Luffy was playing with Whitebeard's huge fingers all of them thinking that he was growing up. As Luffy was laying there he slowly fell asleep "I'll take care of the brat today" he said as he got up carrying Luffy to his room.

It was the next day and Luffy was crawling and attempting to walk with Marco while Thatch, and Haruta watched as they were all in Izos quarters as he was making new clothes for Luffy. Then suddenly Luffy grabbed his blonde hair, and started giggling while saying. "Mama ma...ma", as he said this the other 3 commanders looked at Luffy and suddenly fell to their knees with rain clouds over their heads.
They were all depressed as they weren't the first the first of the commanders Luffy called anything. " Why does the chicken get called by anything before me" Thatch said.
"After I stole him all of those snacks from the kitchen risking getting killed by Thatch I'm still not called anything" Haruta spoke.
"After I made him all those toys he still doesn't call me anything" Izo spoke. While Marco just grinned victorious.

Months Later Luffy is 2 years old
"Marco Marco Marco!" Luffy came running down the hall at full speed "What is it yoi?". "Help me get some candy Thatch won't let me get anymore".
Marco looked at him and saw his cheeks were all covered in chocolate. "Why doesn't he give you anymore yoi?" he asked with narrowed eyes.
"Because I threw his dumb hair gel off the ship, shishishi".
"So it was you, you little brat", Thatch said as he came around the corner with messed up looking hair.
"Looks like he's going to be a better prankster than you yoi" Marco said with a grin on his face, as Thatch was always the one pranking crew mates. "Common you little baby I'll get you some more candy, because of what you did to Thatch yoi."
Luffy looked at him and said "I'm not a little baby anymore pineapple head".

Luffy was sitting on Whitebeard's lap as he was listening to one of his many stories. The rest of the commanders were all sitting around looking at their little brother who was intently listening to his stories.
"When are we going to take him off the ship and on to his first island?" Fossa, the 15th division commander, asked his brothers.
"Not anytime soon with that blonde hair overprotective mother of his" Jozu replied.
"What's that supposed to mean yoi?" Marco replied eyes twitching.
As he was about to respond one of Whitebeard nurses came out "Can you pass me Luffy pops, he needs to get a shot so he won't get sick." When Luffy heard this he started crawling up Whitebeard as he did not want to get a shot.
"I don't want one their annoying and hurt". Luffy said while on Whitebeard's shoulder.
"Luffy, still a little baby" Thatch said before starting to laugh.
"Be quiet I told you I'm a big boy I'm not a crybaby like you get for your hair gel, Thatchy"
"Get down here and get it over with", Marco said, looking like a strict mother.
"I don't wanna and you can't make me," Luffy said while sticking his tongue out.
"When did he start getting so rebellious?" Marco sighed.
"If you come down and get your shot I'll make you some more toys and Thatch is going to give you as much food as you want." Izo said with a smirk, as he knew Luffy would do anything for food.
"Oi were going to run out of food if that little devil eats as much as he wants". Thatch said while looking at Izo who was looking forward smirking.
All of a sudden he heard, "I'm finished now Thatchy can make me as much food as I can eat". Luffy said with stars in his eyes. Thatch just stood up and headed towards the kitchen head down knowing he was going to make a feast. "Also make sure to make cherry pies for Teach he's coming back today from his mission" Luffy told him.

4 Years Later
Luffy was now 6 years old as was currently training with Haruta while using a little bo staff as the crew had turned him down when he said he wanted to use swords so he can be like Vista and Haruta. They had started training him as they were not always going to be in safe waters and he had to learn to fight.
"Island on the horizon" the person up in the crows nest yells.
As he heard this Luffy took off towards the deck "Oyaji can I get off and go to the town on the Island Thatch doesn't want to give me food and I'm starving".
"GURARARA, of course my son just don't eat the entire Islands food supply".
As soon as he heard this Luffy took off running trying to find Teach when he found him he was out of breath and told him "Come with me to the town and let's eat food. I want to spend time together since I never see you since you're always on missions". Teach just grinned and got ready to go.
When the ship finally docked, Luffy was walking with Teach towards the town. "I'm hungry so let's go get some food", Luffy said.
As Teach looked at him he said "I have to get some new weapons, so I'll pay for your food while I go buy some" Teach replied. What nobody knew was that there was a marine ship on the other side of the island.
Luffy was eating in a bar since there were no restaurants in the small town. He was eating alone since Teach had gone to buy food to buy his weapons. As he was chowing down on the meat, a marine came into the bar wearing a normal marine uniform. When he sat down he asked for some meat but was turned down as the bartender said that they were out of meat as someone ate it all by pointing at Luffy.
The marine looked at the kid squinting his eyes. The marine went up to the kid and asked "Why are you in a bar this isn't a place for kids?".
Luffy stopped eating and looked up and answered "Because there are no restaurants in the town, only the bar and I was hungry".
The marine looked at the kid with an irritated expression and just said "Give me some food I'm a marine brat I deserve it for the work I do".Luffy just kept on eating "Did you hear what I said brat" said the marine as he threw some of the food off the table.
Luffy got mad and yelled at him. "What was that for you stupid looking donkey" as he finished the marine pushed him back into the wall. As soon as he could Luffy got back up and attempted to try and throw a punch at the marine but he just moved out of the way and punched Luffy.
"You really think you can beat me brat?" the marine said as he stood there.
"I dont know, but I'm not going to let you waste food because Thatch suffered days when he had no food and wasting food would make him mad." Luffy said as he stood up and ran forward trying to throw a kick at the marine, but the marine just stepped back avoiding the hit but then suddenly got hit by a bo staff as Luffy had hid it under his shirt. The marine stumbled back but was now pissed off and when Luffy came to attack him again the marine pulled out his sword and pushed parried the staff making Luffy lose his balance and the marine took advantage and slammed his head down onto the floor.
"You just hit a marine brat that's a crime. I should kill you, but I'm going to make sure you suffer, maybe I'll even ship you off so you can be sold as a slave".
"Let me go you bastard my brothers and pops would never let that happen there going to beat you up".
The marine scoffed "Your brothers or dad can't do anything so maybe I'll arrest them too" he said while bursting out in laughter.
{III}
Couple of minutes later Teach came back to the bar and saw that Luffy wasn't there. "Where was the kid who was eating meat in the corner?" he asked.
The bartender just replied "A marine came in here and well it was a one sided fight but the kid managed to hit him and the marine got mad and beat him and took him away".
"Zehahaha, the stupid brat fought a marine" he said as he walked out. 'I don't particularly care about the brat he just likes me since he thinks the D's in our names make us closer, but the commanders and pops would be mad and blame and get mad at me, and that would mess everything I have waited all these years for', he thought to himself as he walked towards the ship.
A couple minutes later Teach was running towards the ship to make it seem like he was worried and cared about Luffy. As he got to the deck where Whitebeard and the commanders were he quickly said "Pops, Luffy was beaten and taken by the marines".
As soon as he said this Whitebeard and all the commanders had a dangerous look in their eyes. " What happened yoi?" Marco asked.
"I took him to a bar so he could eat as there were no restaurants in the town while I went to go buy some new weapons, and when I came back I noticed he wasn't there. The bartender told me he had fought some marine and he got beat and the marine said that he was going to kill, but decided he had to suffer for disrespecting him and mentioned that he might sell him so he can be a slave". When they heard this Whitebeard and the commanders were all furious as they dared threaten their family and make him a slave.
"Marco fly into the sky and look for Luffy," Whitebeard said as his hand was in a fist as the skies were turning dark. Marco jumped off the deck and turned into his phoenix form and started making his way high into the sky.
A few minutes later he landed back on the deck of the Moby Dick "There's a marine ship heading away from us on the opposite side of the island" Marco said in a serious voice.
"Pull out of the bay and chase down the ship" Whitebeard said with the weather getting worse and worse as then the crew started maneuvering the ship with the commanders getting their weapons ready to go and destroy whichever idiot in the marines thought it was a good idea to take their little brother.

On the Marine ship
"Unchain me so I can beat you up bastard" yelled Luffy at the marine captain in front of him.
"Shut up brat you dared hit me and disrespect my greatness I'm going to make you suffer" he said in a cocky tone while holding a knife. As he opened the door to the cell where Luffy was he spoke "What a beautiful blue left eye it would be a shame if something happened to it", he said as he got closer Luffy tried his best to look at him showing no fear but his hands were shaking.
"Are you scared little boy?".
"I'M NEVER GOING TO SCARED OF YOU OR ANYBODY, If I want to make my dream come true and make Oyaji the king and protect my family, and every person I care and will care about I can't be scared!" he said with a fierce voice. The marine just laughed in his face and then suddenly stabbed him right under his left eye with the knife.
"You're going to make your oyaji the king?" he said in a mocking tone "Why would you do that?".
"Because he's been there ever since I can remember loving me and all of my brothers protecting us accepting us everybody no matter who they are taking us in as his family". Luffy with tears in his eyes, fiercely said.
"You're lucky I'm going to sell you to be a slave brat otherwise I would have tortured you even more fiercely right here. But if you're beaten up your value goes down also I cant hurt that bright blue eye as I know some slave owners are going to enjoy destroying it", he said finally pulling the knife out under his left eye. "Although I already messed up some of your face when I was kicking you, and the stab I did is going to leave a scar, maybe I should just gouge out your other eye and just leave the blue one." As he said this he got an even darker glint in his eye and was reaching towards his right eye with Luffy trying to move away but couldn't do much as he had a collar around his neck as his hand was getting close the ship suddenly rocked and he fell over as cannon fire was heard outside. "Whos stupid enough to attack a marine ship" he screamed out annoyed.
Outside the Moby Dick was shooting at the marine ship as they were getting close the crew and some commanders were up against the railing ready to board the other ship except Marco who as soon as the cannons had fired had flown over to the enemy ship, and was already fighting some marines.
As the Moby pulled to the side of the marine ship the crew and commanders wasted no time in starting to attack the marines. Izo was shooting his pistols covering his brothers while Haruta, Vista, and Fossa were getting close and personal with their swords. While Blamenco was pulling his big hammer out of the pockets on his face smashing people in his way next to Rakuyo who was using his spiked flail with a canine looking face on it. In front were Atmos, Blenheim, Curiel, and Kingdew pushing the charge moving everybody out of their way.
Namur, Thatch, and Jiru were quickly pushing through the left side as they let their brothers deal with the most crowded place as they relied on speed. Jozu was back on the Moby taking care of anybody dumb enough to try and challenge Whitebeard.
Marco had finished taking care of his people and then saw what seemed to be like the captain come out of a door and the quickly infused his fist in haki and punched him across the deck than quickly picked him up and held him against the wall with murder clear in his eyes. "Where is my little brother?" he asked. The captain was dazed and had no idea what had happened as he didn't even see a blur.
"Who are you talking about?" he asked at which point Marco tightened the grip around the men's neck and said.
"The little boy with messy black and white hair, wearing a black and white beaded necklace, blue shorts a white shirt and sandals" he asked again dangerously.
The captain could hardly breathe but managed to say "Downstairs in the holding cells". Marco after hearing that proceeded to knock him out and threw him to the floor as he rushed through the door trying to find his way around the ship and find Luffy.
After running down hallways Marco had finally found the cells and when he looked at the cell in which Luffy was in he saw the boy chained by the hands, neck, feet, and waist essentially taking away any possibility of escape. He saw there was blood on his face as he had been stabbed under his left eye. Quickly he found the keys and unchained Luffy to see if he had any fatal injuries, but just saw bruises all over his body and had been put to sleep by what smelled like chloroform which he knew can cause people to sleep after breathing it in for 5 minutes.
As the battle ended, Marco took Luffy to the infirmary on the Moby Dick and Thatch took the marine captain in front of Whitebeard. "So you're the marine who dares take my youngest son threaten to make him a slave and torture him" he said with clear anger in his voice. "You should never mess with my family snot nosed brat, chain him up and attach weights to the chain around his feet and throw him overboard" he said.
As the Moby Dick pulled away from the battle torn marine ship leaving the marines who survived the battle alone everybody was surprised to see that Luffy managed to wake up and was on the deck and was on his knees bowing down crying in front of Whitebeard.
"I'm sorry Oyaji, I made you all worried" he said while crying.
"Why are you apologizing my son?" Whitebeard asked concern evident in his eyes and voice.
"Because I'm weak and made you all worry when I got captured by a dumb marine. I promise you Oyaji,... I'm going to be strong,... stronger than even you so I can protect our family and... make you the King" he said while sobbing as the crew looked on looking at their little brother.
"GURARARA, pick your head up you don't have to apologize my dear son, family is here to take care of each other when one of us make a mistake and help them in whatever situation they are in, but most importantly so they never feel the pain of being alone. They are here so a person can feel the warmth of love, and have a reason to live as life without love life is pure pain and darkness". As he heard this Luffy stopped bowing and Whitebeard kneeled down and hugged him "I'm always going to love my family no matter how foolish my sons and daughters may be" he said so everybody could hear.
Marco looked on at the scene and then over at the commanders and said "It's time for us to start training him seriously yoi". Vista nodded and said "I suppose it's time for him to start his path to be a swordsmen maybe he can start slowly with a Tanto or Wakizashi to get movements and technique down before moving to a Katana", Haruta nodded in agreement as he was another swordsman. All the commanders thought about what they in particular could teach him. Namur had realized the kid still didn't know how to swim so he would do that before teaching him Fishman Karate.

Navy HQ
At Marineford there was a man sitting in his office eating Rice crackers until he was suddenly interrupted by a ringing transponder snail.
"This is Vice-Admiral Garp, what do you want you brats interrupted my snack time", he answered.
"Vice-Admiral sir we were attacked by the Whitebeard Pirates, and our crew is injured and we are stranded in Paradise we require help immediately".
"Why would Whitebeard attack you? He is not the type of person to go attack pirates or marines whenever he feels like it" Garp answered.
"Our captain had arrested a kid on the island we were currently at and 1 hour after we departed Whitebeard attacked us".
Garp understood as it seemed like he attacked as one of his sons was captured "How old was the kid?" Garp asked.
"He looked like he was around 6 to 7 years old sir", Garp was confused and shocked as Whitebeard was not the type of person to take brats in.
"Do you have a picture of what the kid looked like?" Garp asked and got a quick response.
"Yes sir, sending the picture over immediately".
When Garp saw the picture his eyes were wide open in shock but quickly spoke in a serious voice "Do not tell anybody else about this not even Sengoku I will take care of it understood" he said making the marine on the other side shiver in fear.
"Yes sir, I will not tell anybody".
Garp sighed "Very well I will talk to Sengoku and send over help immediately" he said before hanging up on the call.
As Garp looked at the picture he immediately knew who it was, as his son had met him years ago and told him that he was now a grandfather. "I finally found you Luffy", Garp spoke and immediately got up and made his way towards the door
Authors Note
That concludes the 2nd chapter.
Also as you saw Luffy already has his dream, and don't worry he is still going to go on his adventure well of course some things are going to be different.
Hope you enjoyed and as always a Leave Review.
