This is the 3rd chapter. Okay, I look over at the rules and guideline which I think I'll go for the rated M. Because like any other rates in the video game which K-K+ was for kids while T was for teen at the age of 13 and M was for mature at the age of 16 and up so I'll go with M cause it'll be some language and violence.

Just to let you guys know, I'm doing this chapter that focused on Luffy which it's pretty much how he had some Devil Fruit powers and how he became a pirate.

Anyway, I don't own the series of One Piece.

No flame reviews.

Luffy's Past: The Red-Haired Pirate Shanks

Somewhere in the sea

It has been a week since Luffy, Zoro, and Ventus have left Shell Town and they had yet to land another island. Ventus was the one who can navigate the island, but he prevented Luffy from stealing the food supplies.

Of course, Zoro was impressed of Ventus' skills since he saw him fight against the Marines despite his weapon of choice. Ventus explains to them about the history of the Dragoons and the conflict from humans and dragons have been gone endless since centuries ago in his homeland. Zoro was shocked of hearing his history, but Luffy was eager to fight dragons, much to their annoyance.

However they were curious about his homeland, he told them that he was from Ishgard from the North Blue which of course, Ishgard have been at war with the dragons from Dravania and his homeland has a military that was made up by Dragoons instead of the Marines.

Zoro could understand since the Marines may or may not have a chance to fight against the dragon, but the Dragoons might since Ventus was one of them.

"So hungry." Luffy whines, wanted food.

"When the hell are we gonna reach land away?" Zoro asked, causing him to catch the pear that Ventus have tossed.

"We'll be heading to Orange Town by the next hour or so." Ventus answered, studied the map and the compass while eating his pear.

"Well, we've been sailing on the wind and the waves, going wherever they take us. We might not ever reach the land." Luffy said. "Nah, I guess we will somehow."

"Don't you find it dumb that someone tried to be King of the Pirates doesn't have a single navigational skills?" Zoro questions with annoyance, scowling at the captain.

"Not really, I just drift around." Luffy answered as he turned to him. "What about you? Aren't you some famous bounty hunter who sailed the seas?"

"I don't have any recollection of ever calling myself a bounty hunter." Zoro told him, looking at the sky. "I set out to the open sea and search for just one man and then I could get back to the village. But, I have no choice but to after pirates ships during my living."

"Oh I see, so you're just lost." Luffy said, leaving Zoro stomp the dingy.

"Hey, don't put it like that!" Zoro exclaimed, showing his white eyes and shark-like teeth. However when they were rocking the dingy, Luffy's straw hat came flying off from his head. That got their attention when the straw hat was flying away.

"Oh no, not my Shank's hat!" Luffy exclaimed with panic, remembered that the red-haired pirate gave that straw hat to Luffy.

Both Zoro and Luffy went to get his hat as it was about to float towards the sea, Zoro managed to catch the hat. However, Luffy was remembering the time that he first met the red-haired pirate named Shanks when he was a kid.


Foosha Village, 10 years ago

10 years ago at the Foosha Village, pirates were celebrating at the bar drinking some alcohol while Luffy was sitting right next with the other pirate. He was a tall man, well-built, tan-complexed, bread stubs, red hair, triple parallel set of linear scars on his left eye, and was in his late 20s. He wore a straw hat, white shirt that was half buttoned which exposed his chest and upper abs, red sash around his waist, black pants reached down to his shins, and black sandals.

"Hey, you've gotta take me with you in your next adventure, Shanks." Luffy pleads with a smile. He wore a white shirt with blue accents and the anchor logo, blue shorts, and tan sandals. "I want to be a pirate, just like you."

That got Shanks laughed when Luffy wanted to go with him on his next adventure.

"Right, as if you could ever be a pirate." Shanks said with a smile.

"Why couldn't I?" Luffy asked.

"Look, you might be a good swimmer and all, but that doesn't mean you'd make a good pirate, Luffy." The dirty blond pirate told him with a smirk. His appearance was in his late 30s and blond hair. He wore his blue shirt that was half-buttoned which exposed his chest, white pants, black sandals, and he wore his purple headband that says 'Yasopp'.

"But I'm a great fighter too." Luffy said, pumping his fist. "My punches are like two pistols."

"Are they now?" Shanks rhetorically questioned, eating his food.

"What's That Suppose To Mean!?" Luffy exclaimed with a shout, showing his white eyes and his shark-like teeth.

"He means that you're too much of a kid, kid." The fat pirate answered with a laugh. His appearance was a round body shape and brown shaved hair. He wore his red goggles, green t-shirt with white vertical stripes on it, a matched bandanna, short white pants, dark green sash around his waist, and green shoes with fur around the ankles. He is always seen eating a rack of meat.

"And he's right you know. I got boys order than you." Yasopp added.

"I'm not a kid, I'm a grown up!?" Luffy yelled, earned a tick mark on his head.

"Here, have some juice and calm down." Shanks said, extended the glass of juice next to him, earned his attention.

"Wow, thanks Shanks." Luffy thanked him with a smile as he drank, but that Shanks laughing.

"I don't know one pirate who'd drinks juice." Shanks said, laughing at him while tapping the table with his hand.

"Hey, You Tricked Me!?" Luffy yelled with anger.

That got his crew laughing at Luffy since they saw him drink the glass of juice which they find it pretty hilarious.

"Stop Laughing! That Was A Cheap Shot!" Luffy yelled.

When everything was settled down at the bar, a group of bandits arrived at the bar as the leader of the bandits kicked the door with force, causing every pirates look at the attention of the tall, tan-skinned man with black hair, a black goatee, and an X-shaped scar above his right eye. He wore a long red coat over a white shirt, black trousers, black shoes, and a golden necklace. He carries his sword around his waist.

"Excuse us." The bandit leader said rudely. He then walks inside of the bar. "So these are what pass for pirates around these parts? Looks rather sad to me."

He was then next to the table, earned both Shanks and Luffy's attention. The barmaid walk towards him. She is a young woman with brown eyes and dark green hair. She wore a yellow handkerchief, an orange blouse with black sleeves, a long light blue skirt, and an orange sneakers with white soles.

"Welcome gentlemen." The barmaid greets. "What can I do for you?"

"We're mountain bandits, but we didn't come here to tear your place a part." The bandit leader answered with a smirk. "All we want was some sake. I'd say, 10 barrels should do."

"I'm sorry, but actually we're fresh out of sake right now." She answered with a smile.

"Hmm, interesting. These are the pirates seem to still be drinking, is that water in their glasses?" He questions.

"No, that just happens to be the last of what I have stocked up." She told him, causing Shanks' attention.

"My apologies, gentlemen." Shanks apologized, earned the bandit leader's attention which he was angry. "Looks like me and my friends drank the whole place dry, but you can have this if you want. It hasn't been opened yet. Go ahead."

When Shanks extended his bottle of sake to him, the bandit leader then raised his hand and shattered it with his fist, leaving him soaked with sake. The barmaid gasped with shock while Shanks' were watching the scene and Luffy was shocked of seeing the bandit leader punched the bottle.

"I'm wanted, there's an 8 million berries bounty on my head. One bottle isn't enough for a night cap, so don't insult me." The bandit leader threatened him, leaving Shanks grunted.

"Just great." Shanks said, looking at the floor that was a mess. "Now the floor's wet. Sorry about that, Makino. You got a rag I can clean up with?"

When Makino saw Shanks cleaning the up the mess, she decides to intervene.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I'll take care of it." Makino told him.

However, the bandit leader drew out his sword as Makino was about to help, the bandit leader destroyed the table and shattered the plate and the bottle of sake with anger.

"Since you like to clean things so much, maybe you'll find this mess for fulfilling." The bandit leader mocks with a sneer, leaving Shanks grunted as the bandit leader placed his sword back on his scabbard. "Place with no sake is a place not worth our time, men. Let's get out of here. See ya later, pansies."

With that, the group of bandits have left the bar without looking at them, leaving Luffy growled with anger when he saw this scene. Makino then walk toward Shanks with worry.

"Captain, are you okay?" Makino asked. "Are you hurt?"

"Not a problem in the world, Makino." Shanks answered with a shrug, causing him to chuckle while his crew laughed.

"That fella really got you good, boss." Yasopp said with a laugh.

"Talk about a loser."

Shanks then took his straw hat, laughing while Makino cleans him up with a rag, but Luffy didn't think that was funny as he spoke with anger.

"WHY ARE YOU ALL LAUGHING!" Luffy yelled, earned their attention. "What's so funny!? You should've fought back, Shanks! It doesn't matter how strong they look or how many of them there are, you just laugh it off, you're not a man or a pirate!?"

Shanks was looking at Luffy with his surprised expression as he grinned.

"Look Luffy, I know how you feel but the guy just spilled some booze on me. It's not worth getting bent out of shape." Shanks told him which he was right about it.

"Whatever." Luffy said, turned away when he bit his upper lip, but noticed something from the chest as he took it out as he ate that fruit.

"You shouldn't eat out of frustration, Luffy." Shanks said with a chuckle.

"Shut up." Luffy said with his mouthful, but Shanks noticed something was wrong about him as he spoke to him with worry.

"Wait, what are you eating?" Shanks asked suspiciously, leaving Luffy gulped. He then walk towards him. "No you didn't, don't tell me that you ate the fruit that was inside that box!?"

Luffy was trying to find the right words, but Shanks grabs hold of him upside-down as he then starts shaking him.

"Spit it out! Right now! Every single bit!" Shanks demands, but Luffy's legs then stretches down, face flat him on the floor, then stretches back up. They were now shocked of Luffy's power.

"What's going on?" Luffy questions with shock as Shanks draw closer to him with anger.

"Luffy, you just ate a Gum-Gum Fruit. Part of the group called the Devil Fruits, eating any of them takes away of your ability to swim for the rest of your life, but the one you ate also turns your body to rubber." Shanks explains which Luffy didn't like that answer.

"NO WAY, IT CAN'T!?" Luffy yelled with panic.

"You Dumbass!" Shanks shouts.

The next day, the group of bandits were at the bar, talking about Shanks and his crew which they were laughing about and thinking that they're all talk and no action, but Luffy was angry about it when he overheard their conversation.

"Did you see the looks on those pirates faces?"

"Yeah!?"

"They got dosed in liquor and didn't even say a word."

"How pathetic!?"

"Pirates are a bunch of wimps, nothing more. They're all talk, no action." The bandit leader added with an arrogant smirk.

Luffy have heard enough as he stood up from his seat, looking at them with anger.

"STOP IT!?" Luffy yelled, earned their attention. "Stop Making Fun of Shanks And His Right Now! They're No Wimps At All!?"

"Luffy, no." Makino said with worry, tried to restrain Luffy as he growled at them with anger.

"You'd Better Stop Right Now, You Stupid Bandits!" Luffy yelled.

The group of bandits have had enough as they began to wreck havoc at the bar while dragging Luffy outside. Makino then rushed outside of the bar to find the mayor since she was worried about Luffy. When she arrived, she pleads the mayor for help when she explain this situation, leaving him grew worry as they rushed out to find the group of bandits and Luffy.

The bandit leader then throw Luffy against the wooden bucket with anger.

"What is this? We were drinking and having a nice time." The bandit leader said. "Until you showed up."

"You apologize! No one messes with Shanks' crew!" Luffy said with a glare, leaving the bandit leader stomp him.

"I don't think I said anything to offend you directly." The bandit leader told him.

"You think wrong." Luffy retorts. "Now apologize!"

By the time both the mayor and Makino have found them, they saw the bandit leader beating up Luffy since the people of the village have witnessed this scene.

"You should watch your flappin' gums, kid." The bandit leader warned him with a glare. "No one has ever made me mad has lived to tell a horrifying and painful tale."

When the bandit leader was about to draw out his sword, the mayor spoke. The mayor has a cleft chin, black hair, and has facial hair is medium-amounted. He wore a yellow shirt, hat, purple pants with pink stripes, brown shoes, oval-shaped glasses, and carries a walking cane.

"Wait, hold on!" The mayor pleads, earned their attention. "Let the boy go! I beg you!"

Luffy was looking at them with shock since they're worried about him.

"I don't know what he's done and I certainly don't attend to fight you over it. If you'll accept, I'll even pay you to stop this, just spare the poor boys life." The mayor pleads for Luffy's life as he positioned himself down to ground, bowed to him. "Please!"

"Mayor!" Luffy called him, leaving the bandit leader smirked.

"While the oldest generation may know the way of the world better than us all." The bandit leader said, draws out his sword. "I'm sorry, but this rotten kid's already made me angry, nothing can save him now."

"You're the rotten ones out here!" Luffy exclaimed, glaring at him.

"And you're a lost cause!" The bandit leader retorts, lowering his sword. "Which you can regret in the next life."

"NO!"

"Please you have to let him go!" The mayor begs.

"I was wondering why the bar was empty on such a fine day." Shanks said with a smile, earned their attention. "So, it's the mountain bandits again."

"Captain Shanks!" Makino called him, causing the bandit leader to glare at Shanks while Luffy looked at him with shock.

"Pirates! You just now showing your heads?" The bandit leader questions. "Have you been spending all this time scrubbing the village?"

"Luffy, didn't you say earlier your punches were stronger than pistols?" Shanks asked, ignored the bandit leader while walking towards them.

"Shut your mouth!" Luffy said.

"Listen, I don't know what you think you're doing here, but you might wanna leave." The bandit leader threatened him. "You wouldn't want something bad to happen and I have the man to deliver this message."

When Shanks stopped walking, one of the bandits drew out the pistol, aiming at Shanks in close-range.

"I'll blow your head off if I have to, but that's up to my friend." One of the bandits threatened him with a sneer.

The group of bandits then snickered at Shanks since he's in a bad spot which he was still smiling.

"Would you risk your life?" Shanks asked, leaving the bandit confused. "Now that you have drawing your pistol, are you willing to use it?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"I'm saying that guns aren't for threats, they're for actions." Shanks advised as the fat pirate then shot the bandit with his own pistol close-range while eating his meat. They were shocked for seeing that the bandit was shot dead, leaving the group of bandits angry.

"You, you're a dead man!"

"These guys fight dirty!"

"Dirty?" Yasopp questions.

"Who did you think you're dealing with? We never claimed to be saints or anything." The tall pirate added with a glare. He was a tall man with a long black hair tied into a ponytail. He wore a black V-neck shirt, yellow sash around his waist, gray loose pants, and buckled boots. He carries his rifle around his waist.

"You fellas are staring down a crew of pirates." Shanks told them, leaving the bandits mad.

"Shut up! We just want the boy, not you!"

"Listen up bandits, whether I'm sprayed with alcohol or dosed with food, hell even if I'm spit on, most of the time I just laugh it off and forget about it, but if you hurt a friend of mine, you'll pay for it regardless of reason." Shanks said with a glare, making Luffy shocked while the bandit leader laughed with a mockery.

"So were gonna pay?" The bandit leader retorts. "Lousy pirates! Kill them all men!"

With that, the group of bandits charged after the pirates with their while the tall pirate walk towards them, carrying his rifle.

"I'll take care of this, shouldn't be a big deal." The tall pirate said to his captain.

When the bandits were about to kill the pirates, the tall pirate used his rifle as a club to bash those bandits without breaking a sweat, leaving the bandit leader shocked when he saw his group got defeated by a tall pirate when he aimed his rifle at him.

"You shouldn't get too cocky. If you really wanted to fight us, looks like a battleship or something bigger would've been useful." The tall pirate advised the bandit leader.

Luffy looked at him with awe while the bandit leader was scared of them now.

"Hold on! Please, it was the kid who attack us." The bandit leader tried to come with an excuse, not wanted to fight them which Shanks wasn't buying it.

"I thought you were a wanted man." Shanks said with a smile, causing the bandit leader frightened which he used the smoke bomb to slam down to the ground, making them cover their eyes.

"A smokescreen." Shanks said.

When the smoke have faded in seconds, they noticed that both the bandit leader and Luffy were gone.

"Luffy." Shanks called him, causing him to panic. "On no! I let that guy take him! What are we gonna do!?"

"Boss, calm down! Quit freaking out!" The fat pirate assured his captain, causing the tall pirate to smile which he noticed that his captain cared about Luffy. "We'll find him in no time."

"What a guy." The tall pirate said.

But they were at the ocean since the bandit leader have managed to escape death while grabbing Luffy along, riding on the rowboat at the ocean which they were pretty far away from the island.

"Looks like I made a clean getaway." The bandit leader said with a laugh. "They never think to look for a mountain bandit escaping onto the ocean."

"Dammit! Let go of me you dumbass idiot!" Luffy cursed with a glare, looking at the bandit leader. "I really hope you die!"

"Yes, I know that's what you want." The bandit leader said with a smirk. "But you're the one dying today. Remember what I said about making me angry?"

With that, the bandit leader throw Luffy out into the ocean, leaving him in teary eyes while scowled at the bandit leader.

'Dammit! Dammit! Filthy bandit scum and I couldn't squeeze off one hit!' Luffy mentally cursed the bandit leader when splashed into the water.

Luffy then began to struggle to swim towards him when the bandit leader began to laugh at him with amusement.

"Sorry kid, but I don't seem to have use for you anymore." The bandit leader said, laughing at Luffy which he would like to watch him drown at the ocean.

However, the water began to rise up as the giant sea monster appeared behind him. The sea monster has the appearance of the giant brown eel with red murderous eyes and blue fins. When the bandit leader have felt a murderous presence, he turned around which he was now scared.

"What The Hell Is That!?" The bandit leader exclaimed with a fright look while Luffy was still struggling to swim.

The sea monster then devour the bandit leader with only one bite when it saw Luffy struggles. It then began to swam towards Luffy as it was about to eat him, but Shanks have manage to save Luffy in a nick of time. However, the sea monster have took bite of Shanks' left arm, leaving Luffy on a verge of tears.

When the sea monster then splash towards the ocean as it look at the two, but the sea monster was frightened when Shanks gave the sea monster a killing intent look on his face.

"Get lost!" Shanks said with his murderous glare.

The sea monster was frightened of Shanks' murderous glare as it then decided to head inside of the ocean, not wanted to fight Shanks. He then turned to Luffy with his genuine smile.

"I'm in your debt, Luffy." Shanks said. "Makino told me everything about how you stood up for us. How you were willing to fight and put yourself on a line."

Luffy then began to cry since he saw the sea monster bite Shanks arm which his arm was now amputated.

"You can't cry, your a man now." Shanks told him.

"But Shanks, your arm." Luffy said. "Your arm!"

"Luffy, it's just an arm." Shanks said. "I've got another one. I'm just glad you're alright."

However, Luffy continued to cry since Shanks have lost his arm to save him which the captain was willing to risk his life to save someone he cares.

Few hours have past, Shanks and his crew began to gather some supplies they need since they're go on to their next adventure.

"So you're leaving?" Luffy asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it was a nice extended vacation." Shanks nodded with a smile. "But we have to part ways now. I bet you'll miss me right?"

"Yeah, but this time is different." Luffy answered. "I won't beg you to take me with you. Cause I'll become a pirate all on my own."

That got Shanks attention as he playfully stick his tongue out.

"I wouldn't take you with me anyway." Shanks told him. "You'll never make it as a pirate."

"No! I will make it as a pirate!" Luffy retorts with a shout. "Someday I'm gonna gather a crew even better than yours and I'm gonna find the greatest treasure in the world! And then I'll become King of the Pirates! I'll show you!"

Shanks' crew have heard Luffy's resolve with a smile which they think that he won't surpass them, but glad to see that he has a goal.

"You think you surpass us?" Shanks asked with a chuckle. "In that case."

Luffy grunts, tried to find the right answer, but then, Shanks took off his straw hat and placed it on Luffy's head, leaving him surprised.

"I'll leave this hat to you." Shanks told him. "It means more to me than anything in the world. So you better take good care of it, you hear me?"

With that, Shanks and his crew began to leave the Foosha village, sailing out to the sea while Luffy began to cry since Shanks have given the straw hat to him. Every people began to wave them goodbye with cheer and a smile.

'I want you to bring this back to me someday in good condition. And only once you become a great pirate, that's our promise, Luffy.' Shanks mentally thought with a smile.


Present Day, Somewhere in the sea

When Zoro have given the straw hat to Luffy, he kept staring at the straw hat. He never forget that promise since Shanks have given the straw hat to him since 10 years ago.

"Luffy." Zoro called his name. "Hey, you're gonna drop that again. I thought it was important."

"It is." Luffy said with a smile, placed his straw hat on his head. "Thanks."

"If you don't mind me asking, does this straw hat originally belong to Shanks?" Ventus asked curiously.

"Yep, he gave it to me since 10 years ago." Luffy nods. "I've been looking up to him ever since."

That got Ventus smiled since he noticed that Luffy have a strong bond with Shanks.

"I am so hungry, it's killing me." Zoro grunts, looking at the sky.

Luffy and Ventus were looking at the sky until they saw a bird flying towards the sky.

"Guys, I saw a bird." Ventus said when Luffy noticed it with a smile.

"I know, let's eat it!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Huh? How do we catch it?" Zoro questions.

"Leave that to me." Luffy said as he stretched his arms at the top of the mast. "Gum-Gum: Rocket"

Luffy then launched himself to catch the bird, leaving Ventus surprised that he launched himself while Zoro stared at him which he knows that it make sense. Unfortunately, the bird was quite larger than it appeared and thought Luffy was a worm which it grabbed him with it's beak and flew off.

"HELP ME!" Luffy screamed.

"YOU MORON! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON NOW!?" Zoro yelled, showing his white eyes and shark-like teeth.

Luffy got carried away as Zoro grab hold of the oars and rowed frantically trying to keep with the captain. Ventus was holding on the rail for his life, Zoro was rowing so fast he barely have time to stop when he saw three castaways floating on the ocean. One of them told Zoro to stop, but he warned them that they have to get on board, much to their shock as they barely grab hold on the boat.

"I'm actually impressed that you made it on board." Zoro said with a smirk.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US!?" They shouted as one of the them draw out his sword with a smirk.

"Stop the boat now." One of the pirate demands. "The three of us are members of Buggy the Clown's pirate crew. The boat is ours now."

That got Zoro and Ventus scowled at them with a glare as they punched them all on the head, hard. The three castaways were forced to row the dingy with a scared expression on their faces.

"I'm sorry. We have no idea you were the famous pirate hunter Zoro." He said with a nervous chuckle.

"Please Forgive Us!"

"Thanks to you three idiots, we lost sight of our friend. So just keep paddling." Zoro said with a glare.

"Yes sir."

Ventus ignored them as his eyes were dilated into a dragon eyes. He can see where the bird was taking Luffy from the distance.

"Zoro, Luffy was heading that way." Ventus told him, pointed straight ahead.

Zoro then looked at Ventus which he knows that the young dragoon can fight against the Marines, but somehow, he doubts about the direction.

"Kid, unless you can...HOLY SHIT your eyes! What happened to them!?" Zoro asked, stepped back in surprise at the sight of his eyes. They weren't dilated before.

"I have 'Dragon Sight', when my eyes were dilated, I see differently." Ventus explains.

"Different, how?" Zoro asked.

"The world goes dark, it loses all of it's colors. It became clear I can see someone's aura and I can see very far off distance." Ventus answered.

"Aura? You mean you can see a person's life force?" Zoro asked.

"Yes I can and I can see where Luffy was going." Ventus nods. "He was heading towards the next island."

"Do you think that's where Luffy was heading?" Zoro asked hopefully.

"Yes, if I'm right, he was heading straight towards Orange Town." Ventus nods.

"Hey you three start rowing now!" Zoro ordered them, they obeyed quickly.

With that, they began to row while the sail was opened and the full force of the wind pressed it pushing the boat along, combined with the castaways rowing pretty fast.

"So kid, that sight of yours, is it a Devil Fruit power?" Zoro asked.

"No, I was born with that sight." Ventus shook his head.

"Did anyone teach you how to use it?" Zoro asked, getting a nod from him.

"That and I learned how to use a lance." Ventus told him as he change the subject. "Do you think Luffy will be alright?"

"Knowing our idiot captain, he'll probably pull off something once he spots land." Zoro answered.

The three castaways then look at each other as they spoke each other.

"So, any idea about what we do now?"

"Good question. If Captain Buggy finds out a girl stole our boat and our treasure, we're history."

"I know."

"Huh? So who's this Buggy guy?" Zoro asked curiously.

"Uh...You've never heard of Buggy the Clown!?"

"Nope." Zoro answered simply.

"What can you tell us about this 'Buggy'?" Ventus asked.

"He's the ruthless captain of our pirate ship and he's eaten one of those Devil Fruits. And above everything else, he is one truly terrifying man."


Orange Town

In the Orange Town, every town was a complete ghost since Buggy and his crew arrived in the island, ruling the entire town while the townsfolk were hiding somewhere very far, taking refuge. The red-haired thief was running for her life, being chased by the group pirates since she have stole something.

'Yes...I've finally got it.' She mentally thought while running when she hold the map.

"Hey girl, get back here!"

"You better give us that map back or else!"

"We just stole that chart of the Grand Line, it belongs to us!"

"Dammit! If we don't get that thing back, then we're as good as dead!"

"We'll be killed by one of Captain's cannonballs!"

While at the top of the building at the tent was Buggy the Clown, waiting for some news if one of his crew had ever get ahold of the chart to the Grand Line.

"Captain Buggy! I spotted something high in the sky above of the port!"

"Well, shoot it down." Buggy ordered his men.

With that, Buggy's crew fired the cannon that was aiming at the bird while the red-haired girl was still running, but stopped when heard a cannon-fire. She and the group look up at the sky.

"What's that?"

When the bird finally let's go of Luffy, he was screaming as he was landing down to the ground with the hard impact, leaving the girl screamed.

"What was that?" She asked, covered her face with her forearm.

"What the hell?"

"A guy fell from the sky?"

Everyone was confused of what has happened as Luffy spoke.

"Dammit! Why were there cannonballs flying at me?" Luffy questions himself, causing her to gasp with shock.

When the dust clears, Luffy was grunted while sighed with relief since he didn't became bird chow.

"At least I'm safe for now." Luffy said as he stood up. "And what just happen to me was awesome."

That got them shocked since they have seen Luffy survived from the cannon-fire which they knew that no one have ever survived that which it was a big shock to them.

That's it for the 3rd chapter. Sorry about the delay. Anyway, what I want to let you guys know about the ability of Dragon Sight. It's similar to the Second Sight ability from the Assassin's Creed, but it can let you see someone's aura pretty far.
