after the alabasta arc there will be a lot more OC arcs and characters. Oh and to spice later up while he won't know what love or lust is till half way through the time skip.

Also someone asked why is Luffy just telling them that he plans to kill a celestial dragon easy. He doesn't care if they tell anyone. And a tad bit of him thinking that he can't be beet.

Let's see if that bites him in the ass.

We are now on the way to Orange Island after we stopped by the little girls restaurant to get Zora food.

I am currently taking a nap when I am woken up by Zora "So Captain Is this everyone on the crew"

I shake my head. "nah. I've got two more that are not officially joined. Ones a weapons inventor stuff like automatic cannons as well as these things called planes or did he call them drones. As well as stuff that the world government wants him dead. I believe his bounty is some 60 million since he went into hiding"

There eyes widen. Then Nami asks "Are you sure he is trust worthy."

I nod with a great big smile "Yah. I have known him close to three years now. While he wanted to build me a ship he is awful at it so he decided to come with me and when we find the best ship builder and have the money he is going to work with him."

Zora then asks "so what is are target number for how many crew we get"

I smile "Probably 15 to 20. Personally its a lot, I'd prefer 10 but I think it will be worth it in the end."

I then Gasp "oh and then there is a nother one. He goes by Sparky"

They freeze "You mean The Sparky. With a 110 million berri bounty"

I nod as I start to laugh "he is waiting at the beginning of the grand line for us"

Nami then asks "how did you get such powerful people on your crew. Sparky is rumored to be immortal and untouchable"

I laugh "Easy I beat him, and me and Tank have been friends. They both visited my home island and one thing lead to another they decided to join once I meet up with them. Though Sparky might be waiting a while"

Zora nods and sits back down " Luffy I am pretty sure you're insane"

I start laughing "Yep"

Nami hits me while yelling "You're not supposed to be happy about that"

I rub my head in confusion. how did that hurt me. She is no where near my strength. Oh well.

Then out of no where a strong gust of wind blows my hat off my head. I lean back and watch. Then I stretch my hand out and catch it and bring it back to put on my head.

I smile then look to Nami and Zora who eyes are bulging out of there skulls. "What is wrong with you"

Both quickly yell "With us, what is wrong with you"

I tilt my head. I could of sworn I told them. "I thought I told you but guess not. So I have eaten a devil fruit. The Gum gum fruit to be precise which turned my body to rubber. While it may sound useless in a fight it is anything but if you put your mind to it. Sadly I don't think I will use it in a fight till we head to the grand line"

They look at each other before Zora speaks up "why not"

I smile "everyone in this ocean is to weak. Either the ones that are fun to fight are already Joining me, a marine, or dead. So there are next to no one strong enough to fight me. Zora you may be fun to fight in the future but as you stand now it be pretty boring. So once we get an actual ship I'm going to train your strength and speed."

She raises an Eyebrow "you have such little faith in me"

I shake my head "No. I trust everyone in my crew with my life and with my dream. I'm confident that you could handle anyone in THIS ocean." I look up before continuing "The grand line maybe not" I then glance at Nami "Don't think this does not apply for you Nami it does. There will be a time that me or the other strong fighters are not fast enough to save you. It would kill me if I was the cause of your death from not being fast enough so you will train to."

She groans a little at this but nods still.

I smile "Now than, since that's out of the way when will we get there. I know someone who knew buggy I want to see if he is as much a man as he said."

Nami looks at the map "We will get there tomorrow morning C-Luffy"

I frown. From the way she corrected herself its almost as if she were afraid of calling me captain is it something I did?

I quickly nod as I hide my thoughts "Thats good I'll kick his ass tomorrow."

I was about to go to sleep when I remember something "Oh and tomorrow remind my not to send him flying, so we can collect his bounty."

Zora nods "Will do Captain."

Nami smiles "Even with a reminder I have a feeling you might forget. But will do.. Luffy"

Before I start to sleep I notice Zora give a glance of suspicion to Nami. "I hope this doesn't cause problems in the future"


When we get to the island we tie up our boat and start are way into town. Though as we go into it the more curious I am "Where are the people. Is he not taxing them or something"

Zora then asks "you think he killed all of them"

I shake my head. "no. Not unless he has some devil fruit that can leave the city unscathed"

Nami with hate in her voice says "I would not put it past him All pirates are scum after all"

I look back "What about us then? What am I then Nami?"

She flinches "You. You are an exception"

I look towards Zora who is listening intensely to the conversation at hand. "And her?"

She scoffs "well she isn't scum but she is... how do I put it. A bitch."

Zora seems angry and yells as she leans towards Nami "YOU WANT TO GO LITTLE MISS NAVIGATOR"

Nami leans towards her as well with sparks flying in between them "SURE MISS TRAINING MANIC"

This goes on for a while with each of them trying to get me on there side it was like puppies trying to get there owners attention... hmm not quite the right wording. Pushing aside such thoughs I say the first thing that comes to my mind "You two look cute when you argue"

They freeze and there faces turn red and then Nami says "You know what you just called us"

I nod "well its the best word I could think when I saw you two. When I think of cute I think of puppies. But Personally I don't know if it would be accurate, not strong enough. Maybe beautiful would be a better word. Yah I think beautiful. Like a beautiful landscape."

I nod then turn and keep walking. Not noticing there increasingly red faces


Nami pov

Luffy just turns after nodding and letting out his amazing smile like he solved a big mystery.

Even though he said such things about me and Zora.

I look at her and once he is out of hearing she says "He is so damn dense yet he goes and says that about us. Is he smart or not."

I think back to when he talked about his sister the way his eyes looked, looked like someone deeply in love not sibling love. And from the short story he told me when I asked she seemed to love him as well. I wonder where is she. I shake my head.

"Maybe there is something wrong with him" When I said that I felt killing intent stronger then Arlong ever gave off. I turn and I see Zora glaring at me

"Explain now or die."

I quickly nod. I didn't think someone could get that protective in two days. I've been with him about 5 or so days and even I only see him... as a crush. I'm getting to close to him. He may be strong but... no he CAN help me and he WILL help. I know it.

I'm brought out of my thoughts by Zora "I said explain"

I quickly start "Well I hope I'm wrong but what if. Its something with his head. He seems to have been in love or is in love but not know what it is. maybe he just physically can't connect the dot."

Zora seems to get a worried expression. I smirk and decide to tease her "Don't tell me.. Has the mighty Zora fallen in love with our lovable captain"

Zora glared as she then stares off the way Luffy went. "I don't or didn't believe in love at first sight. I still don't but i know this feeling i at least have a crush and don't think thats why I threatened you it was because I will not have the man i choose to fallow insulted so blatantly."

I nod as I really hope he can beat Arlong as he is from the grand line.


Luffy POV

As we walk further into the town I see a dog. It is just sitting staring at me. I walk up to it and look it up and down. I'm no dog expert so I don't know the breed, but it looks like a smart dog. As I go to step around him he growls.

I stop and look at him he looks ready to bight me. I take a step back.

I then go and sit infront of the dog and look it in the eyes. It is determined to do something.

What is..

I look up and see that this building is a pet food store "so you are guarding the store. Was it your master's"

The dog seems hesitant then barked twice in a way that seems to indicate that he means yes.

I smile "You're a smart dog. Did you're master aban-"

Before I could finish the dog growls at me. I chuckle "Ok. If he didn't abandon you that means he died."

It barks. I look up at the store. "Must be your treasure then. The look in your eyes says you'd die for this shop." I smile "I like that. You're a good dog."

It barks happily as I pet him. .

I then hear a man's voice "You must be good with animals if ShuShu likes you"

I laugh "Nah. Not in particular. I just have a treasure dear to me to. Well I guess three currently."

He smiles "may I ask what they are?"

I nod as I place my hand on my hat. "Well the first one is this hat. This was given to my over a promise and the other two are my two crew mates that I currently have. My crew is my treasure. Even if we haven't been one long, they have to be."

He raises his brow "Why is that"

I glance at him "well we are a pirate crew with eyes set on the one piece with helping people second and raiding the marines and other pirates second to that. So we are bound to make enemies and I'll be damned if i let my current and future crew die. I'll die before that." I then look at the dog and smile.

"I've got a feeling this guy feels that way about this shop."

The man seems to be thinking on something. Then as he sits next to ShuShu "I don't say this often but you remind me of a pirate I met a long time ago. You now him as the king of the pirates. Even back then I had a particularly strong dislike of pirates but he is a man I respect. I only met him once but you could tell that he was a good man who cared deeply for his crew. I have a gut feeling that if all pirates were like you and him then there would be no need for marines. Oh don't tell anyone I said that I am mayor after all."

I laugh "don't worry. I won't."

Then I hear a deep female voice "WITCH HE IS OVER HERE"

I laugh as I hear Nami yell back "I told you I'm not a witch you gorilla"

I then hear something that I didn't think Zora was worried about "Why you. I am nothing like those disgusting animals I am the definition of womanly strength and beauty"

I didn't think she was interested in beauty but for some reason I can't argue with it.

I look at them and there foreheads are pressed together growling at each other.

I chuckle and stand up. Making the two stop and look at me. I smile "Come on its time we go and deal with buggy"

The mayor looks surprised. I then ask him "where would he be"

Then a loud explosion goes of "never mind found him"

I start to walk off as Nami and Zora walk on either side to me while throwing small glares at one another.

Then the mayor yells out in a voice and tone filled with determination. "Wait I'm going to fight to"

I turn and then before he could continue I use Conquerors haki to knock him out. I heard it in his voice. He was not going to be persuaded.

I hear both the girls gasp. Then Nami say "Luffy you just keep surprising me."

I chuckle as he falls down he didn't hit the ground hard so he was going to be OK.

I turn and we head in the direction of buggy.


As we approach I notice that they have a cannon pointed toward a house. The fuse lite.

So he is not like Shanks said after all. So be it. Shanks considers him a friend so out of respect I won't kill him.

I use Soru to get infront of the house and using Haki to grab the buggy ball.

I quickly toss it back at them and it blows the place up. Most of them did not even see it coming. Hell I think the only one that stayed conscious was buggy.

I smile. Maybe I can finally get a good fight. I had a decade to get all my stats to 400 and my will to 500. The later took the hole time and everything else took some 7 years or 9 I'm wisdoms case.

Even though I have become a pirate only strength has leveled up and it was only by 1 and its been a couple months fast growth seemingly stopped helping.

I shake my head as I refocused on Buggy can't let old habits come back.

Let's end this quickly don't want to torture the poor bastard.

I soru infront of him then quickly throw a Haki infused puch that sent him flying out of sight and over the horizon.

"oops I sent him flying on accident guess he wasn't very strong" I rub the back of my head. "I wanted to have a chat with him"

I turn back and soru back to zora and Nami. When I get there I turn to Nami "How come you didn't remind me"

She instantly yells at me "Because you didn't give me any time to!!!!"

I laugh "I guess you are right. Anyway you two take em out."

When only zora started moving forward. "I said two Nami"

She looks over at me a little frightened. I sigh "Look Nami. I get it may be frightening but you have to start somewhere and I'd be damned if you started fighting in the grand line against grand line pirates" As I look at her she didn't seem convinced. "Trust me"

She nods then walks forward with Zora.

Honestly went better then I was expecting I didn't have to help either of them with the fight. Hell Nami did pretty well. I bet a staff would work well with her.

I nod. I'll have to teach her that as much as it makes me think about... her.

I shake my head. Nami has already gotten the bags of loot.

"Nami leave one bag for the village."

She groans but nods as we steal one of buggy's smaller ships and head out.
