Hey guys! Go D Usopp here, with another chapter of 'The Trio's New Chance'. Last chapter, the time skip occurred, so I hoped you all read Chapter 4 before coming to Chapter 5. I'm going to start the chapter, so… ENJOY!

Chapter 5
Near Foosha Village, East Blue
"Shishishi I'm almost there! I can't wait to see Makino-neechan again!" This was Monkey D Luffy, who was currently using his Soru and Geppo to get to Foosha Village, where he promised to come back to visit Makino. He had been running for an hour.
'Man the East Blue is so far from the New World…' He thought, wishing he knew how to teleport. He sighed. Dawn Island should be around here somewhere…
He looked around…
45°… nope!
90°… nope!
180°… nope!
360°… THERE IT IS!
Wait… wasn't he initially facing that direction? Man he was still dumb.
He quickly rushed there, reaching the dock within a minute, almost giving the person working there a heart attack.
"Wh-Wh-Who are you?" The person stuttered, still recovering from the man's sudden appearance.
"Shishishi I'm a pirate, and I'm here to see my nee-chan!" Luffy replied, shocking the man to the bone. Had the person not become curious as to who this pirate's nee-chan was, he would've died from a heart failure. As Luffy walked towards the bar, the person followed.
Luffy was aware that the person was following him, and allowed him. I mean, why wouldn't he? He could tell without his Kenbunshoku that the person had no ill intentions. After all, he was much stronger than the person.
Luffy walked over to the bar. "It's been such a long time since I've been here…" He whispered. He wondered if his nee-chan would even recognize him. He opened the door. He walked in, the person in pursuit. He went over to a stool, and sat down.
Makino walked over, and asked him what he wanted to drink.
Luffy pouted. He knew that she wouldn't recognize him, but it still stung. "Come on nee-chan… Is it that hard to recognize your otouto?" He asked, still pouting.
Makino's eyes widened. The only person who would call her nee-chan would be…
"Luffy!" She yelled, practically leaping at him. The person following Luffy could recognize that name anywhere in the village. After all, everyone always talked about 'the brat who went to train with pirates'.
He rushed outside, and ran around the village, yelling "Luffy's back everyone!" This caught everyone's attention, and as a result, everyone rushed to the bar. There, they found Luffy, sitting at the bar, telling Makino stories about how the spars between him and Shanks would destroy islands. She was shocked. She knew that her otouto would be stronger. However she never expected him to be THIS strong.
All of a sudden, all of the villagers came in, surrounding Luffy, with… mugs of beer? Where did they get that? Not gonna ask.
They all gathered around Luffy, listening to his stories, cheering and applauding at the end of one, then another. They encouraged him to tell more stories. And so he did. Before they knew it, an hour had passed.
Seeing the time, Luffy decided it would be best to say his farewells. And so he explained to everyone that he had to go become the Pirate King. To do that, he would need to leave. Hearing this, everyone was depressed, surrounded in a dark aura.
Seeing this, Luffy panicked, and told them he would be back after becoming the Pirate King. They came out of their depressed zone, causing Luffy to sigh in relief.
The Harbor, A few minutes later
Luffy was hugging Makino, patting her back, while saying goodbye. He noticed she was crying. So he whispered sweet and caring words, making her feel better. He kissed her cheek, and stepped away, grinning like an idiot, making her smile.
He stepped into the boat, and waved at them for the final time, before he set sail. From the sea, a giant monster appeared. 'A sea king, eh? Well, this is gonna be easy.' Was what he thought before using his Haoshoku, rendering the Sea King unconscious.
He dozed off, thinking nothing would bother him. How wrong he was.
Just a few minutes later, Luffy's eyes opened, only to see the boat heading for a whirlpool. He face palmed, cursing himself for forgetting about the whirlpool.
Now Luffy could do two things:
I) He could either jump in a barrel, and travel to Alvida's ship, like last time, OR
II) He could use Soru and Geppo to do the job
Of course, knowing Luffy, he would choose the cooler option. So he chose option 2. He clapped his hands together, and prayed for the boat's good afterlife. And with that, he jumped off, and using his Kenbushoku, he sensed the location ship. His eyes widened. He also sensed another VERY familiar person. 'How did I not notice her the last time?' He thought, sighing, clearly disturbed.
Using the two rokushuki he had used the most, he ran towards the ship. He ran towards the location where Coby was. After all, if he saw her, he wouldn't be able to help himself from hugging her.
He, however, couldn't control his speed, and ended up crashing into the ship. He groaned, standing up, not enjoying the crash. When he opened his eyes, he saw he was on top of 3 pirates. And in front of him, was Coby, looking at him, surprised. He stood up, amusingly watching Coby take a step back.
"Yo, my name is Monkey D Luffy, do you have some food?" Luffy asked, introducing himself in a semi-formal way. At this, Coby calmed down. "My name is Coby. And yes we do. If you want some, the pantry is that way." Coby replied, pointing in the direction of the pantry.
"Can you show me? I'm really bad with directions." Luffy asked with puppy eyes. Coby sighed. He was going to have a headache. "Hai hai, I'm coming…" With that, he followed Luffy to the pantry.
A few minutes later
"Luffy-san, you do realize this is a pirate ship, right?" Coby asked, remembering about not telling him.
"Chup chup! (Yup yup!)" Luffy answered, while stuffing his mouth full of food. He remembered at least this much from last time. "Hey Coby, what do you want to be?" He asked, already knowing the answer.
"I-I-I want to be a marine! And when I become a marine, I will catch bad people like Alvida!" He shouted. Luffy grinned. That was the attitude he had expected from Coby.
Then the roof broke, revealing Alvida. "Who are you going to catch, Coby? Tell me, who's the most beautiful woman in the world?" Alvida yelled out, scaring Coby. "O-o-of c-c-course i-it's –
"Yo Coby! Who's this whale?" Luffy asked with a smirk. Coby had no more doubts. This man was trying to get the two of them killed. However, he remembered their conversation a few minutes ago.
"Luffy-san, this is Alvida, the ugliest woman in the seas!" Coby yelled out, angering Alvida, while making Luffy laugh. Before Luffy could do anything else, his eyes widened. Her aura was getting further. This meant she was leaving. He needed to hurry up.
Without any warnings, Luffy let out a blast of his Haoshoku, effecting everyone, but Alvida and Coby. Then he appeared in front of Alvida. His hands were stretched back. Then his hands rushed forward, hitting Alvida, while Luffy yelled "Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!" The sheer force of the attack sent Alvida flying miles away.
He grabbed Coby, dashed towards her aura. He used Soru and Geppo to slow the force of the landing. His heart throbbed at the sight of her. He wanted to hug her, but he couldn't.
Meanwhile, the girl squealed in surprise. She had not expected a man and a boy to land on the boat out of nowhere. She looked to look at the man. As soon as her eyes fell on him, she was mesmerized. He was so handsome. Even though he was carrying a gun and sword, she couldn't help but want to warm up to him.
"Hi! My name is Monkey D Luffy, and this is Coby! Can you take us to Shell Town?" Luffy asked with a smile. The girl couldn't say no to the infectious smile, and agreed. This girl had short orange hair, was wearing shorts, a striped colorful shirt, and was carrying a baton on her leg.
"Sure. My name is Nami! Nice to meet you Luffy and Coby!"
And… that's it for this chapter. Next chapter will be the meeting of the trio. Thanks you for reading this chapter. And I will see y'all again next chapter! Bye!
