Chapter 11: Shocking News
"Ok Luffy, there are 2 things I need to ask you. First, WHY the hell is SHE doing on our ship? and last, why do you have so many transponder snails?" Nami protested while stretching his face. While Luffy and Nami were having a conversation, the rest of the crew were busy trying the Going Merry in order while sailing through the furious storm. The storm was causing the ocean to sway uncontrollably.
"Ok! I'll tell you! Just stop stretching my face so I can explain! Luffy groaned as Nami let go of his face. "To answer your first question, she's going to be one of my wives. And second, I'm planning on building an Empire." Luffy said grinning. After Luffy finished his sentence, everyone eyes widened in surprised at his answer, especially Sanji. Deep inside of Sanji's mind, over 10,000 voices were screaming at him to kill Luffy. Fortunately, he remembered there were at least 2 women waiting for him in the New World. Finally, he started go into a trance, thinking about how many things he could do to them. Nojiko stared at Sanji uneasily.
"What's wrong with him?" She whispered into Gin's ear.
"He went into some kind of trance it seems." He replied back. Nojiko was about to ask Gin something again but was cut off by Luffy.
"Hey guys, you might want to hear this." Luffy said as he walked past everyone and leaned onto the rail of the ship. "In order for this plan to work, I need you all to trust me completely." Luffy said while his face expression remained serious. "So, if you guys don't feel like you can't trust me or feel like I'm only thinking about myself, you can get off this ship at the next town." Luffy said with an emotionless expression. Nami, Usopp, and Sanji turned their heads away. Gin and Nojiko all of a sudden felt like something was missing. "I don't want to sail with a crew who doesn't believe in me or trusts me. If there are any obstacles in our path, we will overcome them together. We're all stronger than we were last time. I promise I will NOT let anyone I care about die on my watch." Luffy said adamantly. Around them, the storm had an unusual calmness to it.
"Okay sorry to interrupt, but I think there are some things you need to start explaining to us." Gin spoke up. Nojiko was standing right next him staring at them." I think you guys are hiding something from us since we first joined the crew." Suddenly, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp stared at Luffy.
"You think it's time to tell them?" Zoro asked Luffy. Luffy rubbed his forehead and finally felt like he should tell them the truth.
"Okay since we're about to make it into the Grand Line, I need to clear the air with you guys. Have you guys ever wondered how us 5 are stronger than anyone else in the East Blue? How Zoro, Sanji, and I are perfectly able to train you guys? How we were able to take down the top 4 strongest pirates in the East Blue with ease?" Luffy asked them.
"Of course!" Nojiko replied.
"Well yeah. It was as if you guys already fought against them before." Gin spoke up. Luffy and the rest of the crew were surprised.
"This guy..." Luffy said to himself. "well... it's something like that."
"How?" Nojiko asked. Before Nojiko could continue to ask him questions, Gin gasped in shock.
"No... way!?"
"Looks like someone has caught on. Nojiko, the reason why for all of this is because... we're from the future." Luffy finally announced. Nojiko and Gin faces lit up with shock. They couldn't quite believe what he just told them.
"How?!" They both said simultaneously.
"There's this mad scientist in the Grand Line who used some kind of weird technology to send us back in time." Luffy replied while steering the rudder towards a dim light within the distance. "Remember when I told you Gin that I have 5 other crew members in the Grand Line and 1 ally?" Luffy asked him.
"Yeah I remember."
"Well when I wrote that weird message in the papers, that was our way of saying that we're all back and this is real. The only problem is... you two wasn't in our crew." Luffy said.
"Wait! If we weren't a part of your crew, why did you ask us to be a part of the crew now?" Gin asked. Sanji decided to speak up.
" That's because... I read in the papers in our timeline that... you were executed. Your loyalty was so strong that you didn't notice Krieg was planning on killing you as soon as you guys reached the Grand Line again. He slit your throat while you were sleep and threw your body into the sea." Sanji said while gritting his teeth. The crew was shocked (except for Zoro and Luffy).
"I saw potential in you the first time I laid eyes on you. That strong sense of loyalty and your combat skills was superior to that of an Captain level. From that moment I saw you, I knew I had to recruit you. And plus, I saw the pain within your eyes of losing a crew. You deserved better than sailing with that idiot of a Captain." Luffy finished speaking. Gin was shocked that Krieg killed him in the previous timeline but the most shocking part was that Luffy had so much faith in him. Tears started running down his face.
"Thank you, Don Luffy for saving me this time. I promise I will not fail you all!" Gin cried loudly while bowing his head. A tic formed on Luffy's forehead.
"Dammit Gin! Would you stop calling me that!" Luffy yelled while stomping on him.
"Never! You will always a Don in my eyes!" Gin said with sparkle in his eyes. Zoro walked over to Luffy and slammed his hilt of his blade into the back of Luffy's head, causing him to crash into the deck.
"Just accept the compliment, idiot."
Okay, so why I am a part of the crew?" Nojiko asked. Nami bit her lip.
"Because... One of our other crew members told us that a certain Admiral started back up a law. The law stated that if anyone was associated with a pirate, they shall be executed. No exceptions. Our island was saved by a pirate crew and that Admiral feared that our island and several islands were turning into a pirate welcoming island. So, he had government agents burning down several islands and killing everyone who was harboring pirates. I didn't know if our island was next so I decided I wanted you to come along with me this time. I don't want to lose you Nojiko." Nami confessed, tears forming in her eyes. Nojiko was frozen in place. Only one question popped into her mind.
"What about the island? How can we save them this time!?" She yelled.
"Don't worry. I got several special plans lined up. I WILL make the World Government tremble on their knees." Luffy looked up at the stormy sky clenching his fists. Thunder was roaring loudly across the sky. " Now I just have one more question to ask you guys." Luffy said as he went into the kitchen and brought out a barrel. He carried it out to the middle of the ship and threw his leg onto it. "Do you guys still want to sail these seas with me?"
"Of course! We do have to make your dream and ours come true." Zoro spoke while throwing his leg onto the barrel also.
"I have no choice. You will definitely get lost without the best navigator on your ship." Nami chimed in.
"Your "God" will protect you all."
" I have to stay for my sweet angel"
"Of course, Don Luffy."
"Well I guess it wouldn't be too bad sailing with you guys." Luffy smiled as everyone threw their leg onto the barrel. "What are your dreams?
"To be the best Swordsmen in the world!"
"To be the best Navigator in the world!"
"To be the best Sniper in the world!"
"To find the All Blue!"
" I'll be this ship best lookout. I want to protect my friends and... Find love." Gin mumbled that last part.
"I want to watch my sister's dream come true and be this ship's tailor." Nojiko announced. Luffy grinned at both of them. "Excellent dreams and ambitions you all have. Well, LETS GO TO THE GRAND LINE!"
"YEAH!"
"Wait, what did Gin just say?" Usopp said questioningly. Everyone stared at Gin with a confused expression on their faces.
(Several hours later)
"Unacceptable! How can a small crew such as this completely decimate the East Blue?" Sengoku yelled furiously while slamming his fists into the arm of his chair. Sengoku is a tall, fair-skinned, and muscular man with a long-braided goatee and a mustache. He is usually seen alongside his pet goat. His cap covers his hair, which is set in a large Afro. He wears black-rimmed glasses and a white and gold full Marine admiral uniform that is adorned with medals. The most distinctive features of this uniform are a life-size seagull on top of his cap and his oversized Marine coat which he wears like a cape. Anyways back on topic, here he was at the Marine Headquarters meeting room, grinding his nails into the arm chair. He was previously about to go over some paperwork regarding a certain new group of Marines, but one of the low-ranking officers came rushing into his office. The Marine quickly bowed his head and passed on the message from Commodore Branew passed onto him. Suddenly, Sengoku picked up a transponder snail and made several calls. A hour later, several Marines came into the meeting room. 4 of them were wearing jackets similar to Sengoku but was slightly different.
"Was there a reason why you called this meeting? I was having a nice nap." A tall man said while rubbing his forehead. This man was known as one of the 4 powerhouses of the Marines; Kuzan.
"Nice work handling those pesky rats that tried to sneak in here. Oh wait, that was me." Another tall man said while picking up a cup of tea. This man is named; Kizaru.
"This had better be important. I was busy tracking a certain pirate group." The man who was sitting down, smoking a cigar was known as Akainu.
"Shut it, Kizaru. I was busy trying to enjoy my nap. Kuzan replied while reaching his finger inside of his nose. While Kizaru and Kuzan were bickering, the last Admiral entered the room, and sat down next to Sengoku. Kizaru grimaced at the fellow officer. The last Admiral is known as "Black Arm" Zephyr, he is also known a Z.
"It seems that Z's prediction has come true. That pirate crew he warned us about has reached the Red Line. Sengoku announced while tapping his nails into his armchair. Where the hell is Garp!?" Sengoku yelled.
"His officers told us he's in the South Blue training some marines." Kizaru commented.
"Dammit! As soon as an issue arises involving him, He's not around." Sengoku gritted his teeth.
"So, is there any information on this crew that we should know about?" Kizaru asked. Sengoku then proceeded to show them the wanted posters of the Straw Hats. There were 4 total, but based on Brannew's report, he'll have to add 3 more bounties to their list. Akainu looked down at the posters and raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't this...?"
"Yeah. That's Garp's grandson." Sengoku replied.
"Well that kind of explains everything." Kizaru said in a surprising tone.
"So, shall we pursue them and destroy them?" Akainu questioned.
"No. I think it's about time we set that new plan in motion. Are they ready?" Sengoku asked.
"Yes." The 4 Admirals said in union.
"Well go get them ready. We have a lot of work to accomplish. We will not have the public thinking it's okay to become a pirate. It's about time we strike fear into these pirates' heart. Dismissed." Sengoku said. As Akainu, Kuzan, and Kizaru proceeded to leave the room, Z stayed behind.
"Are you sure you want to send them after those pirates? Although I have a deep hatred for pirates, sending that group seems like overkill even in my case." Z asked Sengoku.
"The 5 Great Elder Stars has complete trust in them and it was their decision to send them. I just hope sending them was the right idea." Sengoku muttered.
Okay I am finally done with the East Blue Arc! I've had so many brain farts and felt like I don't have the skills anymore to write, but as I said to myself, "If I make this Fanfic, I won't abandon it like everyone else does. I just need to catch my rhythm with this story. I have too many ideas (great ones) for this story". Anyways, I'm deciding to do a Q & A for every chapter. So, if you have any questions, just comment and I'll post a Q & A chapter.
Anyways I'm still looking for Beta readers and my mind because I've lost it writing this fanfic.
The next chapter is the start of the Grand Line Arc.
