Hello people, I'm back after surviving Calculus and now have the summer off due to the jerks messing up my financial aid and I have been trying to work out how to do this chapter while also writing the chapters for my other fics that I had in my head.
Anyway, this will do the Whiskey Peak arc, something special, and the Little Garden arc. You'll also see two new crewmates for Luffy, with one being an OC given to me by Void803, and another being a character that is usually in another role.
Also, in this chapter, Luffy will be doing something special that will be getting some MAJOR attention from the world and it will be influencing some future interactions he has with certain people… specifically a certain Hebi-Hime and her sisters.
Naturally, as you should be aware, events will be taking a different turn in some areas due to Luffy's powers so don't expect everything to go the exact same way as the anime/manga/dubbed version, which in my mind would be boring since we would all know how it plays out and would just be reading the exact same thing we already saw/read before.
Oh, someone pointed out that I haven't been having the natural comedy of Luffy's crew that we all know and love, and that was correct for the most part as some times the stuff couldn't be done like the anime/manga. Like Zoro and Sanji arguing at the Baratie, because Luffy is smarter than the normal one, he saw the hazards of pissing off a chef/cook/waiter in a restaurant and didn't know if the guy was high up on the food chain of the restaurant. Zoro and Sanji will still have their arguments/bouts of fighting, Luffy just stops it before it can either escalate too far or the situation calls for it to end. Kinda like how Mei makes Ao shut up when she starts getting annoyed in Naruto.
Someone also asked that I make the fights longer and more detailed, though it was before the Arlong fight so I may have resolved that but I want to address it real quick: I will try that with some fights but Luffy's fights up until against Crocodile will be kinda short as no one can match him. Now, I'm not saying Crocodile can match Luffy, but Luffy will play with him more than the others partly because he disbelieves that he is worthy of being a Shichibukai and because he is Vivi's Arlong and Luffy is gonna tear him apart and make him truly feel fear in his life just like he did with Arlong. Zoro's fight against the low class Baroque Works agents is the same since Zoro was really just toying with them as a way to test his new blades. The closest fight, that I can think of at the moment, that Luffy will actually try will be Enel and he may get some bruises and such, but Luffy won't really be pushed hard and get some real wounds until he meets Aokiji/Kuzan and then the Enies Lobby incident as Luffy will be making a BIG statement there. Unfortunately, this means that most, if not all, the fights between here and those two fights may be quick as Luffy would consider them all small fry like Buggy, Kuro, and Krieg with Arlong having been an exception as Luffy didn't want him beat/dead, he wanted him torn apart, broken down, and terrified out of his mind before facing his death.
Lastly, y'all get a lemon this chapter: If you like it great, if not then please state why without it being a flame or what could be done better… beside making it even longer as that's more preference than flaw. I also will mark where it starts and ends for those who wish to skip it and it will be obvious.
NOTE: I tend not to describe people if it's an OC and they will not be hanging around for a while (meaning a quick kill and be done) or the person in question can be looked up. I will describe them if I have changed their outfit, they're an OC that is sticking around for a while, or they weren't at the place in the story at that point and time in the anime/manga and I need some outfit for them. Like when I had Luffy meet Robin and I described her outfit or when I described Makino and Sabo's clothes in the first chapter.
Note 2 (though this shouldn't be needed again I'll have it just to be safe): Luffy considers Damon his dad, while Dragon is his father. Luffy acknowledges that Dragon is his father, but considers Damon more of a parent than Dragon. This is why he says his dad in conversation and not his father.
Anyway, let's move on to what you all actually want to see.
Disclaimer: If I owned One Piece, then Dragon would have manned up and helped Luffy when he was younger or at least left him something to help with his training.

CHAPTER 5: A Princess, Slaves, and Giants
Grand Line: A day's travel from Crocus' Lighthouse
Luffy had to hold back his laughter as he watched Zoro and Sanji go at it over Sanji deciding he was gonna beat the, in his words, 'Lazy-ass Moss head to a pulp.' The reason for this? Well, Luffy's crew didn't believe him when he told them the weather changes on a dime and even he couldn't stop it with their two guests, named Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, agreeing about the weather while being confused about him not being able to stop it. This led to them having to turn the ship around as the waters moved them back towards the lighthouse, snow came out of nowhere, a heavy rain storm then came, then a typhoon, before going back to normal. During that time, the crew, and two guests, were running around trying to adapt to the weather while Luffy sat and kept his power flowing through the ship to make any repairs that the ship needed as the various weather affects were pummeling the wood and Luffy was ensuring the ship didn't sink or get badly damaged; he liked this ship, he worked damn hard to improve it off of Merry's work!
Anyway, back to the fight, Sanji was extremely pissed as Zoro had slept through the entire thing only to awaken to the normal weather and saw everyone on the ground and accused them of being lazy on a nice day. Naturally this got a round of tick marks before Makino, Nojiko, Nami, and Kaya all brained him a few times, Kuala punched him with a hundred brick fist, and Alvida tried to squash him with her mace before Gin, Usopp, Sanji, Sabo, Johnny, and Yosaku all drew their weapons and began attacking him relentlessly. Right now it was Sanji's turn as he viciously attempted, and succeeded at points, to kick Zoro in his torso or head and Zoro retaliated and restrained himself, barely, from using the blades and just hit the cook with the blunt sides and the hilts, "Stay still and take your licks like a man you shitty moss head!"
Sanji shouted as he sent a vicious kick to Zoro's head and said man ducked it, "Why don't you make me you perverted crap cook?!" Zoro shouted as the two kept trying to beat the hell out of the other and Luffy chuckled slightly while Makino was now cuddled in his lap with Nami making sure the ship was still on course with Nojiko… and waiting for her turn to sit with Luffy as the three cycled through sitting with him and Alvida was standing by as the girls were still discussing letting her into their little family.
"You know, maybe I should let them do this every day. This is the most training they've got since we started since they want to just beat the hell out of each other." Luffy stated through a chuckle causing Makino, Alvida, Nojiko, and Nami to pause before giggling since it was true. Luffy then kissed Makino's cheek before standing as he could see an island in the distance. Luffy brought his fingers up to his mouth before whistling and catching everyone's attention, "That's enough; we're coming up on the next island." He stated before he frowned as Zoro and Sanji weren't listening and he was next to them in a flash before he slammed their heads together, "I said that's enough."
Luffy stated in a tone that made them all tense slightly before Zoro and Sanji nodded while still glaring at the other. Well, until they heard Luffy crack his knuckles and they began sweating slightly before moving to opposite ends of the ship at attention causing Luffy to nod while Usopp laughed his ass off at the scene before the two powerhouses both conked him over the head for it, which in reality wasn't that bad of a thing since Kaya got to play medic for him and dote over him. Luffy then idly paid attention to the two guests of the ship jumping off and swimming away.
As they docked the ship, Luffy frowned at the 'welcoming party' they received and, as they passed, Luffy whispered to his crewmates, "Trust no one, there is something wrong here." He had stated and each crew member gave a nod, knowing to trust Luffy's instincts after all that he had done so far and most knowing that his feelings were always right… and Gin just doing as his captain ordered and not being an idiot.
So with that, the Strawhats enjoyed the party with Nami out drinking about 20 guys and still going strong, though she would occasionally glance to Luffy as she wanted to spend some nights with him too.
Johnny and Yosaku were getting most of the bar to join them in singing, badly, while they did their twin dance.
Usopp was regaling people with his tall tales while also shooting anyone in the head with a ball bearing if they hit on Kaya and Kaya would threaten irreversible medical harm to any girl who tried to seduce Usopp.
Gin sat at a table with Zoro drinking, while the latter just kept drinking bottle after bottle and Gin merely savored it while also eating some of the food, and looked around to try and find something out of the ordinary.
Nojiko was winning at a few games of darts with no trouble and had a Nami like grin on her face as she got her winnings, and a Nami like look when she would look at Luffy sitting with Makino.
Sanji was flirting with all the women, who would return the flirting, and Zoro and Luffy had a small bet going on how much he would regret sleeping with any of them if he wasn't careful.
Sabo and Kuala were sitting with each other chatting while giving death glares to anyone who interrupted them, besides their crewmates, and going to more extreme methods when called for with two examples being a large guy hitting on Kuala only to have cuts on his elbows and knees before he got a speed kick to the face sending him into a wall and rather provocative woman flirting with Sabo before getting a karate fist to the gut sending her through a wall while the two just continued chatting without even batting an eyelash.
Alvida was struggling not to demolish the place as every man, not of the crew and not unconscious, was hitting on her and trying to get in her pants even after she swatted about half a dozen of them through a wall with her mace and she too was wishing she could spend some nights with Luffy.
However, the three women that wanted time with Luffy had to fight back a nosebleed and blush, while the men and other female crew mates were trying not to look or pay attention. What was the cause you ask? Well after eating so much food that 5 cooks passed out from shock that he could want more, Luffy sat back on a couch to relax before a slightly, and by slightly I mean faking it, inebriated Makino straddled him and had on her sexiest smile before leaning into his ear, "I'm not wearing panties, Luffy-kun."
She stated seductively and he smirked before he slipped his hand to her ass and began rubbing it appreciatively, "I see that, though I wonder what could have caused my cute little Makino-chan to be so daring and sexy." He replied licking along her neck and gave her ass a light smack with the background noise drowning out the sound of it and Makino's moan before she smiled slightly.
"Oh, I'm sure I can give you a pretty good idea." She stated before taking him into a kiss and slipped his hand into her shorts and his other into her shirt before moaning appreciatively as Luffy groped her ass and breast slightly and dominated their kiss before engaging in a battle of tongues with her. Naturally, the longer they did this the more attention it drew and Luffy and Makino continued for a few minutes ignoring everyone else, even as a few males and females not of the crew passed out from nosebleeds.
Luffy then pulled back and moved to her ear, "No bra either? How bold Makino-chan, maybe I should reward you tonight, we haven't had fun yet and I know you've wanted to like I have." He stated and she perked up with a blush and Luffy smirked before taking her into another kiss and moved to her ear, "Not now, not only do I not want an audience, but there is some other fun to have soon. But don't worry, I'll reward you later."
He stated and she nodded before he moved his hands out of her clothes and stroked her back and hair as she snuggled close to him with a beaming smile on her face. After a few minutes, they made it look like they fell asleep while the less cautious of the crew; meaning not Zoro, Gin, Nami, Alvida, Kuala, or Sabo; actually did fall asleep.
Outside, the 'mayor' of the town, a large man with curly hair and kept doing vocal warmups when his voice started cracking, was standing outside the bar area with Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday along with a woman that was dressed as a nun but now looked to be a muscular woman named Miss Monday before they identified the 'mayor' as Mr. 8, "I don't think it was such a good idea to throw a party, we're low on food as it is."
Miss Monday stated while giving a glance to Wednesday and 9 with both frowning, "What?! We couldn't kill the whale from the outside and if we did it from the inside he would have sunk and we would be dead!" They both shouted, while leaving the part out where they didn't think of that and Luffy actually pointed it out.
Mr. 8 shook his head and pulled a piece of parchment out of his coat, "We won't have to worry once we turn the bounty in on that strawhat boy." He stated as he showed them Luffy's bounty and they all gaped at such a goofy looking kid having such a huge bounty of 95 million. However, they then heard laughing before they looked up to a nearby rooftop to see Zoro.
"I was wondering when we would run into someone like you, Baroque Works." He stated shocking them as all the townspeople came out with weapons revealing themselves to be soldiers too and Zoro smirked, "You know, I am a bit disappointed that you only have this many to try and take the crew I'm with."
He stated with a predatory smirk before disappearing when they all opened fire on him and appeared in the midst of them pretending to look around and then disappeared again when Mr. 8 fired a gun… from his hair… and a saxophone… yeah, lots of weirdos in this world. Anyway, Zoro decided to test his new blades as he dodged attacks from the mercenaries and idly noticed that since he trained with Luffy and Sabo everything seemed slower than before. Smirking to himself, he drew Yubashiri and flashed passed quite a few enemies before they fell over and Zoro analyzed the blade slightly while idly punching a guy's face in causing him to flop backwards with his teeth falling out of his mouth, "Hmm, excellent grace and lightweight but I may overcompensate so it will have to go to my left hand since it isn't my dominant and I'll have less chance to overcompensate with it."
He idly mused to himself before dodging a knife attack from a kid that cowered next to a nun before he knocked them out after they tried to set him on fire. Zoro then climbed up a nearby ladder to a rooftop before sighing sadly as he cut a barrel of grog in half, "What a waste of good alcohol." He stated before dodging another attacker and then kicking them off the roof along with the ladder he climbed that was filled with people chasing him and he idly wondered if the others were alright.
With Luffy and the gang
Once the bar was clear, except for his crew, Luffy stood with his hand possessively on Makino's ass and looked to the rest of his crew, "Gin, Sabo, get everyone out of the area and I'll make sure Zoro doesn't play with his prey too much." He stated and the two nodded before Kuala gently lifted Kaya and dragged Usopp while Gin tossed Johnny and Yosaku over his shoulders and left with Alvida carefully carrying Nojiko, since she was one of the ones who got a say in if she was with Luffy, and Sabo dragged Sanji out. Luffy kissed Makino's and Nami's cheek before heading out and sat on a rooftop looking at Zoro dismantle the mercenaries known as Baroque Works.
Zoro had switched to his Kotetsu and was having some issues as it not only cleaved through any and all blades it hit but it even cleaved through a solid stone Warhammer and he was getting a little annoyed due to the fact that even scraping it across the ground was leaving a decent scratch behind, "Hmm, definitely sharp, but a blade should only cut if the wielder wants it to and it's heavier than my other two blades." He muttered as he felt the urge to cut and spill blood pouring from it, "You're going to be a problem child."
He muttered under his breath before his head was grasped and he was slammed into the ground causing Mr. 8, Mr. 9, and Miss Wednesday to smirk at seeing Miss Monday slam the man into the ground hard, "He was tougher than expected, but clearly the Marines got it wrong and this man is the actual captain." Mr. 8 stated and the other two nodded, "Ah well, doesn't matter since he's done and we can get the bounty."
He continued with a smirk before they heard Luffy call out, "Zoro, stop playing with your prey and finish them off, then we can have a drink." They all turned to see Luffy sitting on the roof with two bottles of grog. They were even further shocked when Zoro grunted before responding.
"Sorry captain, but it was so boring with it being so easy." He stated getting looks of shock that A) he was still conscious and B) that Luffy actually was the captain. They then stared in shock as Zoro reached up and grasped Miss Monday's head and squeezed it until she passed out with her punches not doing anything to Zoro as she punched his chest. Zoro then grinned ferally at them, "Seems my captain doesn't want me playing around anymore, too bad for you guys."
He stated before tossing Monday through a building and drew Yubashiri to use with Kotetsu and walked forward with 9 growling before he leapt at Zoro with his metal bats and Zoro lazily blocked his bat swings before sweat dropping as Wednesday rode by him… on a duck… that had goggles and a hat… and she was screaming at it as she kept riding through the area. Zoro then leapt back as 8 fired his guns at him and Zoro retaliated by jumping and axe kicked the guy down into the ground since he felt Luffy didn't want these guys dead and he then clotheslined the duck and Wednesday as they came running again before dodging the baseball bat attack from 9 and then slammed both hilts into the guy's back and neck knocking him out.
Zoro then sheathed his blades before he jumped up and sat beside Luffy and taking the offered bottle of grog. The two sat there drinking while seeing a few of the buildings burning and/or crumbling, "Not bad Zoro, you played with a small army of soldiers and only broke half the town doing it." Luffy stated causing Zoro to snort as he drank more of his bottle.
However, the two's drinking time was interrupted by two more Baroque Works agents coming and Luffy frowned before he appeared down there and kicked the black guy, who he heard called Mr. 5, into a building while holding his blade at the other woman's throat, who he heard called Miss Valentine, "Move and I kill you, which would be a pity seeing as how your rather beautiful." Luffy stated getting the woman to freeze and blush before Luffy turned to 8, "Captain Igaram, take Princess Vivi from the area and tell my crew that you're now our guests on the ship, we'll be your transportation to Alabasta." He stated shocking the now renamed Igaram and Vivi which made Luffy smirk, "Please, all you did was change your name. You have the same hair style, voice, and attacks and the Princess is exactly the same. So, please go before I have to knock you out and take you to my ship since you won't last 10 minutes alone." He then smirked wider and turned his attention to an outcropping of rock, "Heh, especially since Miss All Sunday is here in case Five and Valentine here fail."
He stated and Igaram paled along with a now standing Vivi and Luffy gazed at Robin before shaking his head in silent warning to not try it before he looked at Zoro, "Zoro, escort these two out of the area, go ahead and use whatever force you want to get rid of anyone in your way, and tell the others to stand back too." He stated before spinning and throwing Valentine away and slicing a projectile from 5 in half and the two halves exploded as Zoro dragged the two people away while nodding to Sabo who moved the other members of the crew to a position that they could see but wouldn't get caught in the fight.
Luffy continued to just move his sword cutting down any and all projectiles, which in this case was actually mucus and boogers from 5's nose, and no I am NOT kidding, and advanced on 5 before stopping to gaze up and smirked before whistling appreciatively as he got an up skirt/dress view of Valentine and she was rather bold with her choice of panties being a thin yellow G-string that barely covered her pussy, "Nice view from here."
Luffy stated and Valentine blushed heavily before she frowned, "Kilo Kilo: 10,000 Kilogram press." She stated as she suddenly launched downward like a bullet while Luffy side stepped and she smashed into the ground and created a large crater with Luffy looking down at her.
"You know, that was rather dumb since you gave me time to dodge and you would be dead if I hadn't tossed you aside since your partner was aiming to kill me regardless of if you would have been or not." He stated plainly while raising his sword to cut the next projectile in half and turned to 5 looking rather annoyed, "Do you mind? I'm trying to talk with the pretty girl that's your partner." He stated, unknowingly getting another blush from Valentine, before he dodged another projectile from 5 and began walking towards him with his sword scraping along the ground.
5 smirked as Luffy approached him, "That's it, come closer. Once you strike me, I'll just blow up my entire body and be fine due to my Devil Fruit Powers." He thought smugly as Luffy approached him before stopping about 10 feet in front of him and drew his sword back and 5 just smirked wider.
However, that smirk vanished when Luffy's right arm glowed sapphire before he swung the blade and there was a loud BOOM. 5 blinked a few times thinking nothing happened before he suddenly spit blood out and felt immense pain and began struggling to breathe as he looked down and saw his entire chest cavity blown open and blood pouring out of him while, unknown to him, there was a large ditch through the ground behind him and a couple of buildings were destroyed. 5 coughed up more blood as he swayed slightly, "Ho-how?"
He rasped slightly before dropping to his knees and Luffy just twirled his blade and put it on his shoulder, "Affinial Sword Style: Thunder Hammer." Luffy stated as he walked up to 5 who was trying to cling to life, "My skills with a blade go beyond simple hack and slash movements meaning I can launch my attacks like a bullet or cannon ball and due to my unique abilities and powers I can launch affinial attacks through my blade. What you just experienced was my Thunder affinity and don't worry about your little failsafe connected to your Devil Fruit, it won't get its chance at killing me." Luffy stated as he looked impassively at 5, who was still hacking and pouring out blood with a shocked and angry face at Luffy, before doing a quick swipe and beheaded the man before his arm glowed Grey and rock/stone shot up and engulfed the body before going underground again.
Luffy popped his neck as he sheathed his sword while a large part of the mountain behind the town exploded and Luffy stood and looked at a shocked, and slightly terrified, Valentine and he squatted down as she was still in the crater, "So, you have three options: 1) You can try to kill me and fail in which case I either kill you or capture you before doing some of the darker things my dad taught me in order to interrogate people, but I won't do the one thing all women fear since I am not some heartless bastard. 2) You can surrender and come along with me and give any and all information that I want from you regarding Baroque Works and I will let you go on your way after I finish dismantling the organization since I am sure the Royal Captain will want some help getting Vivi home safely and I already told Miss All Sunday to tell your boss I was coming. 3) You run, I either chase and capture you or maybe kill you or that otter and vulture sitting on the cliff to my left hunt you down and either kill you or capture you to bring before your boss before he then kills you. So essentially, your choices are death; capture and interrogation with potential for death; or you can come with me willingly, give me some information or maybe have me earn it some way, and then leave after the smoke clears and I'm still standing or you can even stay with the crew if you want. However, regardless of your choice, you only have a few moments more to decide since that otter and vulture are waiting to decide if they should just remove you or not."
Luffy stated and Valentine began panicking as the aforementioned otter and vulture flew at them with the vulture having dual Gatling guns before Luffy drew one of his pistols and fired it hitting the wing of the vulture causing it, and the otter as it rode the vulture, to spiral out of control and crash before they took off running. Luffy aimed his pistol down the way at the two and fired another shot that sailed through the air and hit the vulture's other wing… at over 600 yards away. Luffy looked back to the gobsmacked Valentine and smiled, while smirking inwardly at her blush, and reholstered his pistol, "So, which do you choose?"
Luffy asked and Valentine gulped, "I-I'll cooperate, just please don't hurt me." She stated with fear evident in her voice and Luffy nodded before extending his hand to her and helped her to her feet before making her blush again as she stumbled into his solid chest causing him to chuckle before he kissed the back of her hand.
"Captain Monkey D. Luffy of the Strawhat Pirates and Reaper of the Seas." Luffy stated while taking his hat off for a moment and then turning to a nearby building that held his crew all in different stances, since a few were shocked at his display against 5 especially Igaram and Vivi, "Sabo, head back to the ship and start getting everything ready to leave, the rest let's get out of here." Luffy ordered as he motioned for Valentine to follow him as he walked back to the ship with Sabo and the others nodding.
Once they were on the ship, Luffy turned to Nami, "The Logposes all reset?" He asked and she smiled and nodded showing them the direction to go and Luffy nodded, "Let's get going guys. We got a Princess to deliver and group of people to beat up." Luffy declared and the crew all smirked as they got the ship ready to go while Valentine was still shaking a little and Vivi and Igaram were shocked, though Vivi's duck was just relaxing.
"Uh, Mr. Luffy, I don't think you know who you are dealing with. If you knew who the leader was then you wouldn't be so eager to face him or the Organization." Vivi stated with Igaram nodding and Luffy chuckled lightly and waved her off getting her to become more worried, "You don't understand, the leader is..."
She started to say before she was cut off, "The pirate Crocodile of the Shichibukai that has an 81 million bounty on his head and is considered untouchable by the Marines because of his Shichibukai status." Luffy finished for her getting everyone to stop and look at him in shock as he smirked and looked to the railing next to Sabo, "Isn't that right, Miss All Sunday? Or can I still call you Robin-chan?" He asked with the smirk still present as everyone then turned to see Robin sitting on the railing with a small smile on her face.
"Yes that's right, and I don't mind you calling me Robin, Luffy." She stated while Vivi and Igaram paled and were on edge along with Valentine, Alvida, Johnny, Nami, Nojiko, Usopp, Kaya, and Kuala. Sabo and Zoro weren't because Luffy wasn't, Gin wasn't since his captain seemed to be friendly with her, Sanji was fawning all over her, Makino wasn't as nothing she could do would be able to harm them with Luffy around, and Yosaku wasn't since he had interacted with her before when they went after Nami. Robin just stared at Luffy with that smile still on her face, "The Island you're heading towards, it's called Little Garden and I'm not sure if you can survive there."
She stated as she made an arm sprout from the deck and hold up a Log Pose and, before she could speak, Luffy grabbed it and tossed it back, "We'll manage." He stated before smirking, "Besides, if we were to use yours then we would have to turn around at some point in order to continue our own journey as our Log Poses would remain stuck on Little Garden until we did go there. Besides, Sandy is gonna need all the time he can get to prepare for our coming." Luffy then frowned slightly as Robin took his hat and he appeared next to her to take his hat back, "That's not very nice, Robin-chan." Luffy stated as he put his hat back on his head and Robin giggled slightly.
"Sorry Luffy, I couldn't resist. Anyway, I'll be sure to tell him and look forward to seeing you in Alabasta." She stated before jumping down and getting on her giant turtle named Banchi. However, she paused at Luffy making a comment.
"Make sure you watch the papers in the coming week. They're going to be talking about me again and I'm pretty sure you and a few others are going to be interested in the additions to my list of supposed crimes." He stated and Robin turned with a raised eyebrow and Luffy grinned, which drew a blush from her, "Let's just say there is another reason I want to keep going the way we are." Luffy stated cryptically as he turned back to the helm and waved Sabo to start towards the Log Pose's direction.
Robin merely got on Banchi and Luffy had everyone relax the rest of the night before Igaram made a fuss about Valentine being on the ship and Luffy sighed, "Igaram, we are in the middle of the ocean and her power lets her increase the weight of someone or something and she can't do anything because if she isn't careful the entire ship will sink and thus kill her since she can't swim and most of us can. Even if she were to try that, my powers would pull the ship back up to the surface so just relax and enjoy the ride to Alabasta." Luffy stated as he walked away, with his arm on Makino's shoulder, to his quarters.
*****LEMON START*****
The moment the door was closed; Luffy caught Makino by her ass as she glomped him and took him into a heated kiss as her tongue begged for entrance to his mouth and he obliged before pinning her to the wall and pulling her shorts down her legs before pulling them off and groped her bare ass, while internally thankful he learned how to reinforce the wood and make different runes that would keep the noise in the cabin unless he wanted it to change.
Focusing on his girlfriend again, he gripped her ass tightly and explored her mouth with his tongue before untying her bandanna and pulled her top off as his right hand began teasing her nipples. Makino moaned into Luffy's mouth as she felt his hands and fingers work their magic on her body before she felt Luffy carry her by her ass to the bed and laid her down while still exploring her body and her mouth. However, for their fun to begin, Luffy had to pull back and removed his clothes while Makino gazed lustfully at him while sitting on the bed in just her heels as Luffy was all muscle and had an, at least, 8 inch cock throbbing and ready to fuck her silly. Luffy smirked at seeing her eyes there and moved forward towards her before moving her arms above her head and holding them there as he moved to her cheek and kissed there, then her neck getting soft moans from Makino, and then down to her breasts where he captured one nipple in his mouth and the other he pinched between his thumb and forefinger, "Ah, Luffy."
Makino moaned as her lover sucked, licked, and nibbled on her nipples while kneading both breasts and still holding her hands above her head, oh how she loved the Gum Gum fruit since it allowed him to stretch his fingers and hands to wrap around and then squeeze and release her breasts. After a few minutes, Luffy released her breasts and began kissing and licking down her body until he reached her pussy and gripped her ass to bring it up to his face before he began giving it slow, sensual licks that made Makino moan and send shivers up her spine, "Luffy-kun, please. Eat me out to the point I'll pass out." She begged and Luffy looked at her with a smirk before he shoved his tongue into her pussy and she moaned loudly before letting out a scream as his tongue stretched and kept folding itself until her pussy and womb were full and he literally began tongue fucking her pussy causing her to moan and groan as his tongue touched everywhere inside her pussy.
However, Luffy wasn't done and Makino blushed and squeaked when Luffy's pinky went into her ass and he began thrusting it slowly and, as she began moaning and loosening, he increased the size of his pinky to slowly stretch her ass wide enough for his cock. Makino then screamed in orgasm as Luffy's other fingers stretched and one enclosed around her clit and squeezed it while the two others went around her nipples and did the same and his thumb went into her pussy and thrusted in time with his pinky and tongue. Luffy smirked at making his first girlfriend cum and removed his thumb before moving it up to her mouth and increased its size slightly and she obediently began sucking on it as he kept pushing her into one orgasm after another.
After about another half dozen orgasms for Makino, Luffy stopped to let her catch her breath before she then pulled him onto the bed in a kiss and shifted so he was sitting on the bed and she was on her knees before him with her heels still being seen, "It's my turn to taste now, Luffy-sama." Makino stated lustfully as she had a bit of a thing for him being her superior, officially as he was captain, and found herself being horny when thinking of him telling her what to do while having their fun and she also enjoyed the thought of him being able to just take her anytime and anywhere, hence the no panties or bra, and also enjoyed the thought of possibly being seen. She internally decided to talk with Luffy about possibly being more daring with their fun, but right now she just wanted to taste his cock.
With that thought in mind, Makino began slowly and seductively licking his cock while making sure he had a full view of her tits and ass and licked every inch of his cock and balls while finding why Luffy licked every part of her; it was fun and he probably enjoyed the taste like she did him. Deciding to do more, Makino began sucking on his balls while on of her hands stroked his cock and the other began teasing her own pussy, which disappointed her slightly since Luffy could literally finger, tongue, or even toe fuck her pussy and her own fingers may not do it anymore especially when she got his cock into her.
After about 2 minutes of sucking on his balls and giving him a light handjob, Makino moved to the top of his cock and began licking the head and shaft before she began sucking his cock greedily while fondling his balls with the hand that was stroking his cock before she then deepthroated him and enjoyed the sound of him grunting and trying not to cum so she could taste him longer. However, she was not going to let him and deep throated him as far as she could go in her throat before humming and Luffy lost control and came down her throat causing her to moan slightly as she drank it down greedily before slowly pulling back so she could clean his cock as she went before she wrapped her D cup breasts around his cock to get him ready to go again quickly.
Luffy groaned at feeling her breasts around his cock before looking down at her with a predatory gaze that made her pussy spasm before she found herself on the bed on her knees with her back against his chest and him groping her breasts as he rubbed his cock against her pussy and kissed her while dominating her mouth. After a few moments, Makino broke the kiss, "Luffy-kun, please, I-I need it. Fuck my pussy, please."
She begged and Luffy nodded before laying her on her back and took her into a kiss as he slowly inserted himself with both moaning and groaning slightly before he bottomed out while kissing her womb with his cock and stayed there to give her a chance to adjust to him being inside her. He then started thrusting when he felt her buck her hips into his and gripped her ass with one hand while using his other to play with her tits and continued exploring her mouth while Makino was submitting to Luffy and keeping her arms wrapped around his neck.
Luffy began building up more and more speed as he fucked his first girlfriend and Makino just continued to moan into his mouth as she enjoyed his ministrations and was getting pushed into cumming again, which she did when Luffy gave a hard thrust into her pussy and womb getting her to scream into his mouth before Luffy rolled them over so she was riding him and Makino put her hands on his chest to steady herself as she rode him hard while pulling her hips back to make herself tighter around his cock and loved the feel of Luffy's cock hitting her womb each time she came down, "Ah! Luffy! Fuck me, fuck me hard and fast and break my pussy for anyone else!"
Makino screamed as she got another orgasm from Luffy's cock and Luffy obliged her request by grabbing her hips and slamming her down onto his cock while thrusting his hips up causing Makino to freeze in a scream as it shoved her at the edge of orgasm every time he did it and, before she could react further, he stepped it up by moving two of his fingers into her ass and began thrusting them while another two went up around her nipples, his thumbs wrapped around her clit, and he began alternating sucking on her nipples, kissing her, and nipping her clit causing her to cum continuously. Oh yeah, she loved the Devil Fruit known as the Gum Gum fruit and she figured Luffy did too.
After about five minutes, and countless orgasms for Makino, Luffy began really thrusting rapidly while his cock pulsed, "I'm gonna cum soon Makino. Where do you want it?" Luffy asked while trying to hold back until she told him as he wasn't going to fill her if she felt she wasn't ready.
Makino moaned as she wanted, no needed to have his cum in her pussy, "My pussy! Fill my slutty pussy with your hot and delicious cum Luffy-sama!" Makino screamed before Luffy raised her till just the tip of his cock was in her before he slammed her down while thrusting up into her slamming into her womb as he began filling it with his cum as Makino froze in a silent scream from the pleasure and warmth that came from Luffy filling her so full.
*****LEMON END*****
Makino then fell onto Luffy' chest with both breathing heavily from the exertion of their fun and Luffy put his arms around her and stroked her back and hair with right hand while his left groped her ass appreciatively getting a thankful moan from Makino, "Everything you hoped for?"
Luffy asked as Makino nodded with a beaming smile, "That and more, Luffy-sama." She said teasingly before kissing him lightly, "We may have to do this almost nightly, since I can tell this will only get wilder and I will need some relaxing time."
Makino stated while kissing his chest and neck and Luffy chuckled slightly, with Makino loving the feel of his muscles as he did, "I'm yours whenever you want, my cute little slut." He stated and Makino blushed and fidgeted slightly.
"Luffy-kun!" She whined as she had to suppress her pussy quivering, "If you keep talking like that, I'll have to have you take me again." She stated as she was turned on by being his so called slut in bed since she liked to be treated like a queen and love in public but then fucked silly like that was what she was for when in private and Luffy was capitalizing on that.
Luffy smirked and slapped her ass getting a long pleasure filled moan from her, "Maybe I want to take you again." He stated with a feral grin and Makino smirked before lifting herself and shifting slightly.
"Then take me, master." She stated trying master out and found it made her very horny before Luffy smirked and moved her into the doggy position and continued their fun.
3 days later: Open Sea
Since their night of fun, Luffy and Makino had had two repeat performances with the crew and three guests having guessed what they did based on Makino walking a little funny and having a glow about her. Naturally, the jealous and slightly excited ones were her and Luffy's girlfriends, as Luffy informed them the day after that if he was dating them then they should be considered to be dating each other and this made Nami and Nojiko a little embarrassed but they figured they could move forward given time. Anyway, when Makino told them, they all blushed and had strong nosebleeds before Alvida was happy to learn that she had been accepted into their little family since, on the night of Luffy and Makino's fun, Nami and Nojiko were talking with Alvida and getting to know her before accepting her and Makino listened to their reasons before accepting as well and Alvida was rewarded with a deep kiss from Luffy that made her legs weak before he then gave one to Nami and Nojiko too as they were giving him their cute fake pouts.
At the moment, Luffy was lying in his bed with Nami asleep on his chest as Makino decided since she got her fun with Luffy, and could do it whenever, that the other girls could sleep in his bed with him on a rotation with Nami getting the first night with him and she enjoyed it with just being with him and him giving her ass a bit of a grope since she decided to sleep in her underwear with the bra, that matched her hair, being a size too small for her DD breasts and her lower half only had a matching thong that rode up into her ass.
Currently, Luffy was awake and stroking Nami's hair while she was still sleeping, or rather she was sleeping again as she awoke when he did and he ushered her back to sleep since Luffy gave Sabo and Nojiko a Log Pose in case Nami needed to rest or, heaven forbid, something were to happen to her and she couldn't act as the navigator. Anyway, Luffy was just relaxing with his second girlfriend as she slept peacefully with a content smile on her face and Luffy just laid there absentmindedly stroking her hair before Sabo called out, "Luffy! We got a ship with an escort nearby!"
Luffy frowned and got up with he and Nami quickly dressing before he went up by the helm with the other crew members already being up and on the deck already and Vivi paled at the sight of the frigate class ship bearing the flags of the Celestial Dragons with its escort having similar flags or that of the Marines/World Government, "Sabo steer away, if we are seen they'll attack us and if we do somehow get away you'll be marked as enemies of the word!"
Vivi frantically stated with a few of the crew paling and Igaram nodding quickly while Sabo didn't move and Luffy frowned as he pulled up a spyglass and growled, "That's a slave ship." Luffy growled getting surprised and scared reactions with the first being due to their being slaves and the second being from the few in the know knowing that slave ships had the most security, "Sabo, get the sails set and pursue that convoy."
Luffy ordered surprising quite a few people, "Luffy please! You can't fight these people and it won't end well. The entire might of the Celestial Dragons and the government will come down on you for committing what they believe to be an act of treason." She begged and Luffy glanced to her while frowning.
"I'm already a target of the government for the acts I've committed already and I will continue to be a target as I refuse to abide by laws set by people who want to appease the descendants of the ones who formed the government. They want to bring the world down on me? Fine, I'll take them all on if it means helping people like the ones on that ship." He stated while the crew saw untold power behind his eyes as he looked over them, "Anyone who wishes to possibly be exempt from this can go below deck until it's over, one way or another, and if we should fail then you can simply claim that you were held prisoners by us. Anyone willing to help can stay on deck and prepare or man the guns. Make your decision quickly as this ship is not changing course and we'll be engaging that convoy in naval warfare before raiding that slave transport."
Luffy stated and Zoro, Sanji, Gin, Sabo, Makino, Yosaku, Johnny, and Kuala all stood straight while Nami, Nojiko, Usopp, Kaya, and Alvida looked a little unsure and their three guests were looking at them like they were insane. Luffy nodded before looking over them, "Igaram, take Valentine and Vivi off the deck, while both of you are not well known there is a chance you'll be recognized. Kaya, Nami, please go with them as your weapons are not suited for this at the moment and Kaya, you are the closest thing to a doctor we have and you've only just started learning to use your weapons." He ordered and Kaya nodded with a pout while Nami nodded and took the others into Luffy's room which, like other ships, was the majority of the stern with Vivi and Igaram still protesting since they believed they couldn't win this fight, "Usopp, Nojiko, take the crows nests as it will give you a bird's eye view of the deck and you can see any of their sharpshooters. Zoro man the forward guns, Alvida-chan, you and Johnny take the starboard side, Sanji, you and Yosaku take the port side, Sabo you keep the helm, Kuala I want you to stay beside Sabo and move to help either side as it's needed, Gin keep an eye out for anything we may miss and call out targets of opportunity, and Makino-chan, you pick any targets you see. I'll be in the middle of the deck using my abilities to stop incoming attacks and to help even the odds."
He ordered and the crew nodded and took positions as Luffy began channeling his powers to make the water work against the opposing ships to ensure they didn't escape, "Zoro, your cannons have chain shot in them so aim for the masts and sails and none of you are to fire on the transport unless it's to hit the masts or sails."
Luffy ordered as he removed his coat and let it sit on the deck as he stood ready and the others nodded, "Aye Captain!" They stated while, unknown to them, the five people sent to stay hidden were watching through the portholes and were surprised at the way things were going at the moment.
"Darn it we have to stop them, they won't stand a chance against them!" Vivi stated as she tried to go out there and Nami blocked her with her staff.
"Luffy-kun said to stay down here since you didn't want to help with the fight and there is also the chance you could be recognized so you aren't going anywhere." Nami stated with Vivi gritting her teeth before she tried to go by and Nami smacked her torso with her staff sending her back while Igaram was shocked and went to Vivi with Kaya now there with her Kama out before Nami locked the door and dropped the key into her cleavage, "I said to stay and you're going to stay."
Nami stated as she went back to watching the crew with Kaya as Zoro fired the front cannons, which Luffy designed a mount for that allowed them to fire together or separate as they were three barreled cannons that rotated to the next shot, destroying three gunboats as they were clustered together with one getting torn apart, another getting their powder stocks lit, and the last due to the masts collapsing and causing the boat to capsize. Luffy's arm then glowed before a large wave crashed down over one of the escort Frigates smashing it into pieces and drowning the crew before wind came and cut through the sails of the transport ship making it slow to a halt.
Sabo, following the water and wind that Luffy was generating, sailed between two Brigs that were busy trying to adjust and get their cannons ready before Gin and Kuala moved to help the two sides and they opened up using what Luffy called Chain Runes that made it so if more than one cannon was fired on a side of the ship it would set all of the cannons off to fire giving them a full blast of cannons with only a minimal amount of crew having to man the cannons. Naturally, the two Brigs couldn't stand up to the full bombardment to their hull and began sinking while Gin ran and replaced Sabo as the Helmsman as the latter used his Speed Speed fruit to go through the ship and reload the cannons before going back to the Helm.
However, Luffy turned and walked to where Zoro was before stepping onto the bow of the ship and focusing on the biggest threat in the area: A Man-o-War. Luffy cupped his hands together as his arm glowed again before he growled and he raised his hands with warped light appearing in his hands as he got ready to throw his power, "RAAHH!" He roared as he launched the attack and it tore through the water before smashing into the ship and then exploding out with a large BOOM sounding. Luffy stood there taking a breath before waving Sabo towards the transport ship with the other crew, minus Makino, gawking at the power as Luffy got down after sending another wave to crush the last escort Frigate.
Usopp recovered first and took aim and shot one of the sharpshooters off the upper mast of the ship before Nojiko followed suit and took one off the side of the ship as they attempted to use a strange cannon near the stern of the ship. Luffy stretched his arms across and grabbed the underside of the ship before roaring as he pulled and the two ships came closer while Sabo helped by throwing grappling hooks with the others helping except Makino who was still shooting the Marines and personal soldiers of the Celestial Dragons as they attempted to cut the ropes or get a shot off on her fellow crew members.
Once the ship was close enough, Luffy leapt over cutting down three Marines as he did before whipping his leg smashing into the sides of several soldiers breaking ribs and arms while others got sent over the edge before Zoro then leapt over and cut down more soldiers with Sanji betting him that he could take more down and thus the two began destroying the enemy crew while Gin was smashing anyone that tried to come across with Alvida and Makino was shooting anyone that was attempting to climb up and attack Nojiko or Usopp. Johnny and Yosaku also leapt across and began cutting down the soldiers in a pincer movement with Luffy in the center, Zoro and Sanji at the stern, and them at the bow.
Luffy cut one man's arm off before spinning and cutting through three more before firing his pistols at two officers at the back that were giving orders killing them both before he used his Gum Gum Rocket to launch himself to the top of the ship where he kicked three riflemen off before grabbing the flags off the masts and setting them on fire and then dropped in front of the captain of the ship and engaged him. Luffy blocked a thrust before shifting and stabbing his knife into the Captain's arm causing the man to scream in pain. Luffy then pulled his knife out and spun around him shoving his machete into his chest and his knife into his neck killing the man. When Luffy withdrew his weapons, the body fell to the deck making the soldiers pause in shock before seeing that they were not going to win since 40+ of their fellow soldiers were dead, dying, severely wounded, or not on the ship anymore and the attackers had yet to be harmed. With that in mind, they threw down their weapons and surrendered while Sabo quickly scooped up the weapons and moved them back to their ship while Luffy turned to who he assumed was the slave master and stood before him, "Give me the key to the shackles and cells, now."
Luffy demanded and the man growled before spitting at his feet before finding a sword at his throat and Zoro glaring angrily for someone disrespecting his captain before the slave master found himself in a vice like grip with Luffy being the one holding him before seeing said key and yanked it off the man's neck before breaking his leg and arm. While the man shouted in pain, Luffy tossed the key to Sabo who caught it and unlocked the cargo hold before he and Gin saw people and began helping them out after Sabo sped down there and unlocked the different locks before helping the people out of the hold while Sanji jumped back across to begin cooking for the no doubt starving people coming aboard.
As the now freed slaves and prisoners turned slaves crossed over, Luffy broke the Helm, rudder, and had Sabo raid the cargo while he and Zoro took the guns off the stern of the ship that Luffy remembered Damon telling him was something still being researched called a Puckle Gun which was essentially a cannon sized gun that could fire multiple times without having to reload and it could fire in rapid succession. Once everything was cleared from the ship, Luffy and his group moved back to his ship and Luffy paused when he heard the slave master speak, "Why? Why would you risk the wrath of the nobles and the government just for some people you don't even know?"
The man asked as everyone now looked to Luffy, counting a cooking Sanji and the others hiding as they could still hear through the walls. Luffy merely turned to look at the man, "It's simple: until everyone is free; we are all slaves." He stated before he used his powers to make the ship move far away from the burning/sinking/stranded remains of the convoy as they sailed and Luffy looked to the liberated people, "Listen up, I will be helping you to escape and will be giving you transport to any of the islands currently under my protection." He stated getting happy murmurs going, "However, I have rules: You will do nothing to harm the people of the islands, you will not try anything on anyone on this ship or those islands, and you will not attempt to aid the Marines or anyone else in taking said territory. If you so desire you may remain on this ship as part of the crew and will be considered family or as I have stated you can go to the islands and live there or even begin helping to reinforce my power by building ships, armaments, or anything else that may be needed since I will be taking on the government meaning at some point I will need more than just this one ship. The choice is, as it always should have been, entirely yours. You have till we reach the next island to decide and I will have you come to me one at a time so I can remove that damn mark from you if you so wish. For now, rest, eat when my friend Sanji has finished cooking, and if you need something to do then see if you can help around the ship but do not cause trouble for anyone or there will be problems for you."
He stated and the liberated people all nodded and sat around the deck, which was fuller than ever due to them getting over 50 people off that ship and Makino shouldered her bow before heading to the galley to help Sanji since it was a lot of people to cook for at once and Gin began helping them get any old shackles, cages, or other confinements off with Alvida and Zoro doing the same while Kaya, Nami, Johnny, and Yosaku, with the latter three following directions given by the former, began helping with any wounds they had and Luffy began attaching and looking over the Puckle Guns to see if he could recreate or improve them while Usopp and Nojiko kept an eye out for any possible ships that may have been scouting for or falling behind the convoy. Sabo was getting the ship back on course while Vivi and Igaram were shocked at the crew being successful and Vivi approached Luffy while Igaram couldn't find it in his heart to sit and do nothing and went to help Kaya and the others with treating the wounds even going so far as to tear his nice clothing to make makeshift bandages for them, "Luffy, you realize you can't save everyone and this is only going to bring down even more wrath upon you."
Vivi stated and Luffy sighed, "You don't understand Vivi, I don't care about what comes after me and I know I can't save everyone, but to see people suffering and do nothing is as bad as being the one causing the people to suffer in the first place. You believe that certain people, such as yourself, are immune to becoming the slaves and whipping dogs of the nobles when you couldn't be further from the truth." He stated getting people's attention while Vivi and Igaram gave him surprised looks, "Do you understand the saying I said to the captain as we left?"
He asked and Vivi frowned, "Until everyone is free, we are all slaves? I'm afraid I don't." She stated and Luffy chuckled lightly while finishing attaching the Puckle Guns.
"Your status means nothing Vivi. If a world Noble saw you, he could claim you as his in an instant and your father could do nothing. If he did try it, the government could simply lockdown your country and keep any and all trade out of it which basically would strangle your country or replace your father with someone willing to do things their way and you just get sent along with the Noble that wanted you. Even if your status were to give you immunity, the moment your father dies, was replaced by say a Coup, or fell from grace with the government, you would be no better off than a normal person." He stated shocking Vivi and Igaram since that was entirely possible and they hadn't considered it, "And the government won't do a damn thing since they loyally follow justice, which 99% of the time is whatever the nobles say justice is, which is why no Marine with authority, or at least ones who have kept their positions, has ever questioned why the government allows slavery when if anyone other than a noble takes slaves they are arrested, forced to pay a fine, imprisoned, or executed. And do you know what happens to the slaves those particular individuals acquired?"
Luffy asked and Vivi gulped and shook her head, "Their sent to a slave auction where nobles simply buy them and then use them until they wear out, they decide to have 'fun' and kill the slave or stick them in an arena so they can brutally murder the others, they decide to have other forms of fun with them, or VERY RARELY do they actually either treat the slaves fairly, free them, or in less than 0.000001% of the time they actually take them into their family in some form. So tell me Vivi, where is the justice in that?" Luffy asked before he walked past a practically shattered Vivi and began helping the freed people with what he could.
Three Days later: Off the shore of Little Garden
The past three days had been adventurous if nothing else due to Luffy demonstrating his unique talents, draining as they were on him, by removing the brands from the prisoner's bodies with the exception of one named Jack Kingston, who was captured about 2 years ago and was recently brought the South Blue before being sold soon after and was on his way to a Celestial Dragon controlled island, who decided to wear it as a badge of defiance to show everyone he WAS a slave and was not going to serve his oppressors anymore. Another bit of interest was that when Luffy began using some of his other talents to move the former prisoners to the different villages, depending on their preference for the area, there were two that decided to stay with Luffy for the time being, they were Jack Kingston and Jewelry Bonnie and Luffy got them some clothing to wear from his islands while thanking the runes he had stitched into the flags he left at places.
The former was a man that was 6'5" and built similar to Luffy with dirty blonde/brown curly hair down to shoulders a chiseled face and had tattoos on him with a dragon going up one arm, over the shoulder, down to the stomach where it was blasting pieces of earth coincidently right at the slave brand on his body, while his left arm was covered in Oni in various shapes and sizes with the primary victims being Marine soldiers in the depictions. He wore a dark grey zip up shirt that he kept undone, a black hoodie with no sleeves, which made it into more of a vest, with his hood usually staying up, normal blue jean shorts, and no footwear since he stated it could interfere with his Devil fruit powers, which he didn't elaborate on, and some things he didn't trust the crew enough to discuss, he trusted Luffy somewhat just for having the guts to break them out, but he was still cautious for now.
Apparently the latter was a captain of a crew until recently when she was ambushed by a Shichibukai and Marines as a World Noble apparently saw her and decided he wanted a pet before sending the Marines after her. She was then given the 'pleasure' of seeing her crew executed before she was taken away and apparently had bonded with Jack as he kept some of the more cruel Marines and soldiers, and some of the slaves in the pens they were at before they were sold, from touching her. She had short pink hair, as the noble wanted it cut down, crystal blue eyes, a somewhat skinny figure which was due to her not getting enough food to accommodate her powers which she explained was a Devil Fruit that gave her a high metabolism to function right due to her having the combined metabolism of a child, teen, and adult. At the moment, she wore knee high crimson boots, a pair of shorts that made it to halfway above her knees, the shorts were connected to a pair of suspenders that went over a pink top that Nojiko provided, and she had a white hat that from above looked like a water lily.
Anyway, after those two joined, a few of the other former prisoners decided to stick around as deck hands/loaders/workhorses/protectors for the ship in the event Luffy's main crew, that the deck hands just referred to as the officers, went inland and the ship was possibly left vulnerable. Not to mention the fact that they could help when raiding a ship as that would be extra rifles/fighters to help clear the decks and could help man and reload the cannons when attacks commenced.
Another fun note, for Luffy at least, was that Luffy gained another affinity from facing Mr. 5, which naturally was the explosion affinity and was, according to Damon's lessons, one of the intermediate affinities meaning it wasn't one of the weakest/base affinities but wasn't in the strongest tier either, which surprised Luffy when he learned about it from Damon as one could literally make explosions or make projectiles into explosives with ease… though Damon warned him it was among the top 20 of the hardest affinities to master as when Damon first unlocked it, he spent 20 years just learning to use it and hadn't mastered it until later on. This was even more prominent due to him 'going out of order' for it as it was one of the affinities that usually unlocked once you had the affinities connected to/made up the affinity for example the Lava/Magma affinity usually came to one who had both Earth and Fire as an affinity but it could come before that occurred and would take a lot of time to master but the flipside was that it made learning its pieces easier. Luffy had agreed to go over the affinities he knew of with his crew later on and focused on the current tasks.
At the here and now, the ship was moored next to the island on a river with the crew being amazed at the fact that, apparently, dinosaurs still lived on this island and Luffy grinned slightly, "Hey Sanji, can you make me a lunch? I want to explore for a bit since we have plenty of time to look around."
Luffy asked and informed and Sanji nodded before tossing him a package as he figured this would happen before he turned to the others, "Anyone else want to go? If not with Luffy, then anyone that is willing to go hunting since it wouldn't hurt to fill the stores up especially with those Runes from Luffy that can store large amounts of food and other items so we can fill it even more than under normal circumstances." Sanji asked and Johnny, Yosaku, Gin, and Zoro all nodded.
"Sure ya shitty cook; I'll be back with something bigger than what you could catch anyway." Zoro stated and Sanji paused with a tic mark as he turned to glare at Zoro as he jumped off the ship.
"Hold it you damn moss head!" Sanji called out as he placed his boot on the railing, "Them's fighting words if you think you could catch something better than I could."
He stated and Zoro blinked, "Of course I can get better food than you can, you shitty cook, I'm better than you so I would naturally get a better amount of food." He stated and Sanji was down in his face with both glaring heatedly at each other and growling.
"Aright you crap swordsman, we got ourselves a bet!" He growled as the two pressed their heads against each other with electricity being sent between their eyes and Luffy rolled his eyes before making a point of cocking one of his pistols slowly and audibly causing the two to freeze and turn to see Luffy there with his pistol still pointing upward.
"Is there going to be a problem besides just a friendly contest?" Luffy asked in a tone that said to give him a good answer or there would be consequences while working the hammer on his pistol making the area fill with the clicking noises and the two immediately shook their heads with a 'No Captain!' coming from the two of them before Luffy reset the hammer and holstered the pistol, "Good, remember the goal is food not beating each other." He stated before finding Alvida, Valentine, Vivi, and her duck Carue were standing beside him, "Feel like coming along?"
He asked getting nods and a quack with Luffy nodding and waving to the others as they went into the forest/jungle of the island. Luffy and his group were enjoying the sights around them, though Luffy's companions noticed he seemed to be more at home here and that the native animals were making it a point to steer clear of him and Vivi could tell even Carue was nervous to be this close to Luffy and not a good distance away and it confused her as, while Luffy was scary when he fought and when he had to be authoritative, he was still a nice person to be around and had a calm aura around him and Alvida and Valentine had similar thoughts on the matter.
However, all of their thoughts were broken when a Brachiosaurus collapsed in front of them missing its head while a giant stood before them and Luffy blinked slightly, "Huh, didn't expect to find, let alone meet, Dorry the Blue Ogre, especially on an out of the way island like this." Luffy commented while the giant looked down at him and loosed a bellowing laugh.
"Hahaha, well, it seems others have stumbled upon this island after such a long time. Welcome!" The now named Dorry stated and Luffy nodded to him before they ended up going with him to his camp area and drank with him until the nearby volcano erupted and he went to fight his best friend Brogy the Red Ogre since they had a dispute to settle from some number of years ago and it could only be settled by a duel and would keep doing this until one either forfeited or lost.
Luffy watched as the two giants engaged in combat, though he could tell each was holding back from intentionally killing the other and was only aiming to disable though he doubted they could kill since their weapons were blunted from the constant combat they had and he was amazed they hadn't broken. After they both had enough, Dorry came back over and sat down before opening a barrel of ale and Luffy froze before slicing the barrel in half and out of Dorry's hands, "What was that for boy?"
Dorry asked and Luffy frowned before moving to the alcohol on the ground and dipped his sword into it before then flicking it and the drop of alcohol flew and hit the ground… where it exploded causing the others to widen their eyes, "Someone's trying to kill you Dorry and it appears they are not brave enough to do it the honorable way." Luffy growled before he placed his sword tip down and channeled his energy around like he did at Syrup Village before it went out like a wave showing him everything on the island and a ways away from it. Naturally, this sent alarm bells off in Usopp, Nami, Makino, Sabo, and Zoro's heads as they knew that meant Luffy was looking for someone and they may not be friendly. Luffy stood straight with his blade being out to his side, "Alvida-chan, take the others back to the ship and Dorry please refrain from eating or drinking anything that has been out of your sight without testing it first."
He stated as he began walking towards the trees, "Luffy-kun, where are you going?" Alvida asked as she had no doubt he could handle himself, but she was still worried about him. Luffy paused and turned towards her, but the sight of his eyes sent a cold chill down all of their spines, counting Dorry.
"I've got some hunting to do." Luffy stated before heading into the trees while Alvida led the others back to the ship and Dorry tested some of the other alcohol he had while getting ready for the next battle with Brogy.
While Luffy walked with a purpose, Alvida and the others were hurrying back to the ship before finding the others there and ready in case of trouble… but there was a problem, "Where are Zoro, Nami, Makino, Usopp, and Sabo?" Vivi asked as they came back and Gin shrugged as he looked over the nearby trees carefully.
"Don't know, some weird pulse came and they took off like bats out of hell while saying they'd be back and to be prepared in case someone attacks." Gin stated with the three of them widened their eyes before Gin shook his head, "They'll be fine. Let's just get the ship ready in case we have to leave in a hurry when they come back." Gin stated and the group reluctantly nodded and got on the ship.
Back with Luffy, he found himself in a clearing staring a guy, who appeared to be Mr. 3 of Baroque Works based on the fact his hair was literally in the shape of a 3, and a small girl eating biscuits and tea. The reason he was currently not carving the man into a few million pieces or at least giving him a beat down was because the girl used some mark on the ground that kept him from moving from it… or at least that was the general idea and Luffy yawned boredly, "Do you honestly think this is going to hold me?"
Luffy asked with a raised eyebrow as the presumed Mr. 3 chuckled, "Of course I think this will hold you. It's held every other person that Miss Goldenweek has trapped inside it." He stated before Luffy smirked and he seemed to glow as a few rocks hovered around him and his hair waved slightly. The two Baroque Works agents moved back slightly as Luffy grinned viciously as pieces of the earth broke before he released a yell and a shockwave blasted out tearing apart the ground, blasting the two back, and even tore a few trees from the ground.
When the kicked up dust cleared, Luffy was standing there on a small stool of ground that was surrounded by a crater with him in the center. Luffy then stepped down into the crater before approaching the two still down and disoriented Baroque Works soldiers before he picked 3 up by his neck and sent his fist back a good 50 feet, "Bye." He stated before his fist shot forward and slammed into 3's stomach just as Luffy let him go and he was sent flying away. Luffy then turned to the girl who seemed a bit afraid and shocked, "I assume you can find your way off the island?" Luffy asked and she nodded quickly before holding up one of her paint brushes and Luffy nodded, "Good, leave and never bother Dorry or Brogy again."
Luffy stated as he sheathed his sword as the girl nodded rapidly before he walked back towards the ship before hearing sounds of fighting, outside of Dorry and Brogy's match, and began moving through the trees before finding Zoro, Makino, Sabo, Nami, and Usopp squaring off against a pack of Raptors and were not doing as well as they'd hoped. Zoro and Sabo were fine and Makino had long since learned to dodge and evade, but even she could only do so much and Usopp was having a hard time getting a bead on them long enough to shoot them and Nami couldn't keep up with multiple opponents. From the looks of things, Zoro was tiring, Sabo was trying to make it easier for everyone else, Makino was tiring, Usopp was ducking and diving for his life with a few wounds now on him and Nami was the same with most of her shirt being torn to basically nothing but rags/scraps.
Luffy, feeling very displeased at these animals, appeared down in the middle of the area and the Raptors immediately stopped and stared at Luffy who glared at them as he began to glow a little again while growling and they immediately backed up, "Beat it." He growled and the Raptors stood there a moment before running off and Luffy moved to Nami and wrapped his coat around her before lifting her bridal style as her legs took a wound or two apiece, "Sabo, head back and tell Kaya and Igaram to get the medical supplies ready, Zoro you help Usopp get back to the ship, Makino-chan, can you walk?"
He ordered then asked and they all nodded while Nami snuggled close to Luffy with Makino kissing his cheek before they made their way back to the ship before he handed Nami over to Kaya, Igaram, and Vivi while he and the others got the ship ready since the Log Poses reset. Before they could sail, Dorry and Brogy came before Luffy explained he got rid of the guy after their bounty and they shouldn't have anyone bothering them anymore and should consider heading back to their home since if they can't even remember what the dispute was then there was no lost honor in simply ending the feud without a winner and they had more than regained any honor they may have lost causing the fight by having fought honorably and admirably for the long years they were there.
The two had, reluctantly, agreed while stating they would find their way home since they were certainly large enough to make it through quite a few areas of the water and helped them get past a rather large fish… by smashing their ship in tha back so hard they blasted right through the fish and Luffy had to suppress an eyebrow twitch as he flowed his energy into the ship to fix the little bit of damage that occurred while wondering if his ship would survive the Grand Line or not as there were some things that even he couldn't fix and just hoped they could find one key member of the crew that they were going to need: A doctor. He just hoped the next island would be peaceful as he had a distinct feeling that things were gonna get complicated again and he wouldn't mind just a relaxing island for a change as he steered the ship according to the Log Pose.
Done! Next time will be the Wapol encounter, Drum Island, and maybe one or two custom events/islands with one of them probably being just a training and exercise island in addition to the items I have below and Luffy explaining the basic workings of his affinities.
A few may be wondering about the deck hands, well the premise is that since Luffy is going to be taking on quite a few government people, and multiples at once later, he is gonna need enough people to work the cannons, sails, raid the ships, and to, naturally, watch the ship for instance while they're traveling through Alabasta. Luffy's main crew, or the officers as the deckhands will refer to them, will still be the stars beside Luffy but I am going to be giving Luffy a lower crew to help with the pirating and raids he'll be doing as there will be more Assassin's Creed-esque items in this fic as time goes and it isn't unreasonable as when Shanks left Luffy's home he had a crew that was decently large but when he made an appearance in later chapter/episodes of One Piece that he was doing something important in he had just around 9 or so people beside him meaning he had a crew for the ship but he had a more elite part that he used for the serious/dangerous/important matters. You could also take Whitebeard as an example as he had an army of crew members but an elite bunch that directed/lead the crew alongside him with him having the final authority/say in the matter.
I'm not sure if I'll have Miss Goldenweek join the crew or just not be mentioned again since I don't know her talents that well or if she would work on the crew.
Oh, someone asked what kind of pistols Luffy has and why I hadn't mentioned their designs yet. Well, to be honest, I hadn't decided on them yet but I hope to have them ready for next chapter. Next chapter will also include some backstory on Jack, the changed one for Bonnie, and my own version of Valentine's since she doesn't have one and no one does one for her.
Now, before I get tons of questions and comments on it, I did not do Luffy's updated bounty and reactions to it and the charges due to the ship they raided being stranded so it would take longer than 3 days to get back to some form of civilization to report things as they would be drifting/rowing to wherever and most of their crew were dead or injured which would slow them. So, yeah, that will be next chapter too.
Anyway, I have polls cycling on my profile so check them out as two pertain to the next Naruto and the next Non-Naruto fics I'll do next.
With that, I will say goodbye and see you next time.
