A/N: VERY IMPORTANT
I just need to get your attention guys…
I'm very sorry…
It took very long for me to do this.
I've also been seeing a lot reviewing about my grammar and it deeply pained me to see my readers being troubled about my OWN story.
It also makes me sad to see my readers getting confused like, "when was it that it was confirmed smoker time-traveled?" or, "why did we not get to see luffy's first interaction with vivi or Usopp before when he was a kid?" I'm regretting using special chapters to fill some holes up.
Being new doing this isn't an acceptable excuse, it's just because I wasn't doing good.
I'm very sorry…
Truth is, I'm just a 12-year-old kid… The swearing was only at One Piece and other animes, and I was happy it added life to the chapters, I didn't regret it one bit… I hope no one would get angry at me for doing so… I'm also at my 6th grade, and I'm deeply embarrassed that I can't do proper English since It's not my primary language and I need to know how to do it properly since it's one of my responsibilities as an author…
I also couldn't find someone to help me with my grammatical mistakes because I was afraid and I didn't have much time since school consumes it too much… But it's not acceptable too, I knew I have to but I chickened out and I hate myself even up to this day for still not trying.
But I promise! Even at school, I write in my notebook where I place my ideas there! I just… Don't have enough time (I hate myself), and I barely use the computer now… I'm very sorry, I can't forgive myself for not trying hard, for sometimes forgetting that I'm an author…
I want to become an author, I really do… But my parents want me to do something else, so I want to create stories for everyone while I still can… They said I can make creating stories as a hobby, but I don't want that. I want to spend my time creating stories for everyone even if I'm stressed out.
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry that I've made you all frustrated, confused, and left waiting…
I'm very sorry…

"We're here!" Corazon shouts with a grin and Luffy suddenly shows up next to him, giving the poor man a heart attack.
"Really?! Let me look!" Luffy chirped with a grin, leaning on the railing.
"Stop appearing out of nowhere!" Corazon shouts as he was on the ground, panting badly and pale as a ghost.
"Get used to it," Law suddenly shows up too, sighing as he looks at Corazon in pity. "He's going to keep doing that for the fun of it." Law pauses, "And maybe you're the primary victim." Law finishes while Corazon got stiff like a rock of what Law said.
"You do understand me, Torao!" Luffy says cheerfully, making Law only sighs once again and stands beside Luffy, looking at the island they were about to land onto.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"Where are we going?" Law asks while he and Corazon follow Luffy ( adult form), who was just walking who-knows-where.
"Dunno!" Luffy lied while the two just facepalmed and let Luffy do whatever he wants. As they continued walking with a few accidents with Corazon, they saw a town nearby. "Oh, look! People! People with MEAT!" Before Law and Corazon would stop him, Luffy disappeared.
"Goddammit!" Law shouts in frustration as something slowly appeared or activated inside his heart. "What if Luffy meets some pedophile!?"
"What?"
He stops, looking at Corazon, who looks at him weirdly.
Even he was surprised of what came out of his mouth.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
Luffy ignored the weirded looks he got and instead, focused on one person he sensed.
.
.
.
Kuro
.
.
.
After all, that guy was one of the reasons he came.
He continues walking as if he never had a thought of how he should torture Kuro, a fake innocent grin on his face that would surely make everyone think that the man was harmless. He hums starts to jump on every step he was taking, counting them to satisfy his impatient bloodlust that was hidden underneath his smile.
As he kept counting, his hands twitch due to his excitement. He places his other free hand on his trembling one, trying to calm it down.
"I have to calm down…" As Luffy started to stop his trembling one, he places his left hand to hide his dark and bloodthirsty grin. "Damn, I'm near…" He clears his mind and starts to fake once again.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"Hurry, Klahadore!" A little Kaya shouts as she looks at different shops. The library catches her attention and starts to run, making 'Klahadore' run too.
"Yes, I-" Before 'Klahadore' could finish his sentence, something stops him. 'Klahadore' and Kaya notices this and looks at the hand that was tugging his black suit.
"Excuse me, sir…" 'Klahadore' looks back to see a chest, he trails up to see a man with a grin and a straw hat. "I'm lost, I can't find my friends…"
"Oh!" Kaya rushes to him and clasps the tall man's hand, she won't lie, the man looked very intimidating if it wasn't for the grin. "We can help you, I think there's a center for lost people there. Do you want to go?" The tall man's eyes 'beamed' in 'happiness'.
"Thank you so much!" The tall man flashed an 'innocent' grin at them. Kaya chuckles as she sees the guy go near at 'Klahadore'.
As they were walking, the tall man decided to spice things up. "Hey," The tall man starts while 'Klahadore' hums to say that he was listening. "You must be strong!" The tall man says while 'Klahadore' 'laughs' in 'embarrassment.'
"N-no, I'm not strong at all." 'Klahadore' says 'nervously' while the tall man looks at him with a grin that made 'Klahadore' feel at the edge.
"You're right. After all, you only have claws." 'Klahadore' freezes while the tall man chuckles somehow darkly and goes to Kaya, talking to her.
'H-How…!?' 'Klahadore' thought as he forced himself to walk. During the whole walk, 'Klahadore' was brainstorming. Does the man know? If so, he has to kill him.
"We're here!" Kaya shouts as she takes Luffy's hand and enters the room with 'Klahadore' following them.
"Hello there, Kaya-sama." A man at the counter says before looking at the little guy. "Who's this handsome guy?"
Kaya chuckles while the tall man chuckles embarrassingly. "He's Luffy, we found him when we were shopping. He said he was lost and can't find his friends."
"Oh," The man makes a thoughtful look and smiles at the very tall man. "Well, you can spend your time here for now. Your friends may have known now that you're here if they're asking." Luffy nods before going near at 'Klahadore' once again. "He sure does like you, Klahadore-san."
Kaya laughs, "Of course! After all, Klahadore is a nice person!" 'Klahadore' 'smiles' then looks at Luffy.
"Can I talk to Klahadore-san?" Luffy asks while tilting his head. Kaya nods and Luffy cheers, taking Klahadore's hand.
After going into a quiet place, Luffy stops grinning. "You must be desperate, Kuro~" Luffy chirps with a dark laugh. 'Klahadore', or Kuro, places his glasses' position back to where it should be. He suddenly takes out his cat claws and wasted no time at slashing it to Luffy. Luffy sees through this and lazily dodges it. Kuro was surprised but instantly regained his composure. "You're really confident that you think that no one will find my corpse if I die." Luffy pauses, "Though me dying would only be a dream."
"I have nothing to say to a person who's about to die." Kuro says coldly before attacking once again. Luffy had a dark glint in his eyes, the torture was about to begin. He kicks Kuro at the stomach, making the man gasp for air. He then continues to the arm, then to the shin, to the chin, then repeat. He made it very weak so that the man could slowly feel pain.
"If you would say that I did this, they wouldn't believe you one bit." He repeats the action as Kuro was having a hard time. "You can't make any noises, they would be surprised to see you with a claw." Repeat, "If you make any, they would be surprised and you would end up with the marines." Luffy clicks his tongue as the guy coughs silently, he repeats the actions again and again until the man was barely conscious.
Luffy leaves, sensing that Corazon and Law were coming to the building. "Oh, Luffy!" Kaya waves with a smile. "Where's Klahadore?"
"Oh, Klahadore-san said I can go on since he had some things to do." Luffy says before the entrance gets slammed by Law, who looked like he was so angry and happy at the same time.
"LUFFY!" Law slammed himself at Luffy, who made a blank face with a smile while being thrown in the air with Law. On the other hand, Corazon's jaw dropped. There was never a time where Law did something like that, even a hug would put Law on the edge. "I was so worried you idiot! What if something bad happened to you and I couldn't do a single thing! If you try doing that again-" Law cuts himself off, seeing the current awkward position they were in.
Law stands up, coughing out his embarrassment and hides his face with his hat while going near Corazon. Luffy acts like a robot, going up stiffly with the same face as before. 'Is it me or this reminds me of Sabo and Ace?' He feels like something was going to happen…
Kaya awkwardly coughs and gets the attention of everyone. "I guess this is the time where we'll separate…" Kaya says sadly while Luffy crouches down and hugs her. Ignoring Law who was twitching in anger.
"Shishishishi, don't worry!" Luffy pauses, "I'm sure this isn't the last time!" Luffy suddenly lets go of Kaya and goes out with his friends. Kaya looks at him questioningly before looking for Kuro.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"Klahadore?" Kaya asks while turning to every place she sees.
"I'm here." Kaya runs to the right side, only to see Kuro at the corner, redness in his chin while everything was hidden.
"What happened, Klahadore?!" Kaya shouts in worry while approaching him.
"I stumbled down the stairs…" Klahadore says 'embarrassingly'. Kaya sighs before taking Kuro's hands.
"Geez, let's go."

The next day, Luffy and the two did their morning routine. Though, Luffy's plan was to meet Usopp. This time, Luffy was alone. Luffy followed Usopp's presence and sees him after walking.
"Hello, what's your name?" Luffy chirped while little Usopp flinched before grinning.
"I'm Usopp! How about you, what's your name?" Usopp asks while Luffy returns his grin.
"I'm Luffy, It's nice meeting you!" After that, they played, talked about some things, and some more.
"Hey, what's your dream?" Luffy suddenly asks, making Usopp look at him with the widest grin Luffy could have ever seen at little Usopp.
"I want to become a Brave Warrior of the Seas!" Usopp proudly says before pausing. "How about you?"
"I want to become the Pirate King!" Luffy exclaimed while Usopp's jaw dropped before smiling. He knew their dreams were both hard and almost impossible to accomplish. After that, Luffy spent his whole day with Usopp, and bid goodbyes when it was nearing night, a bond created.
Another morning came, Luffy being the only one awake, he made food for the two before going out at the inn they found. He starts to run towards the mansion. Kaya and Klahadore were there along with other people. He can't waste time since Luffy has to go to his brothers. He also sensed Usopp with Kaya, 'Good.'
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"… Then there's a giant guy in front of me with an ax in his hand and then-AH!" Usopp almost had a heart attack along with Kaya since Luffy suddenly appeared.
"Luffy-san! How did you get her-" Kaya was cut off with Luffy's serious face.
"Kaya, Usopp! You have to get out of there, Klahadore is dangerous!" Luffy whisper-shouted as the two frowned.
"You know he could never be one, Luffy!" Usopp and Kaya would ask each other how they knew Luffy, later.
"No! Look, I found this in one of the garbage at the town!" Luffy lies as he gives the poster to Kaya and Usopp. The two gasped in shock and fear.
"N-no… This can't be…!" Kaya stuttered. But it was too much alike, the only thing different was the claws and the bloodthirst in Kuro's eyes. As much as she wanted to say that the poster was a fake, it was obvious it came from the Marines.
"S-So… K-Klahad-Kuro is…" Usopp trembles slightly, not wanting to show he was scared. Luffy felt sorry for the two, the two were still kids after all.
"The two of you must get out here, fast. Me and my friends will take care of Kuro while you guys should call the Marines." Luffy explained and Usopp's eyes widened.
"What can you and your friends do!? He's a pirate while all of us are just completely normal people who can't pack a punch!" Usopp says while Kaya nods.
Luffy chuckles darkly, making the two have shivers go down their spine. "Oh don't worry, it won't be me having the pain." Luffy points at the town using his chin. "For now, you guys can hide at the inn. I'll lead you guys there, lock your door Kaya." Kaya nods and follows what Luffy said.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"Luffy? Who are these two?" Corazon asks as he was very confused. He and Law just waked up a moment ago and they were not ready for any kind of problems that will show up.
"Don't mind them, for now, keep them safe. I found a pirate disguising as a butler at my friend's house, and I don't like it one bit." Luffy growls while Law sighs and nods. Kaya and Usopp look at each other before taking the phone. "They're gonna call the police and I'm going to do this fast, look after them." Luffy explained before abruptly going out and locking the door, surprising Kaya and Usopp.
"No, Luffy!" Usopp ran to the door and tried to open the door.
"It's no use, let him go berserk as much as he wants." Law says coolly, making the Usopp and Kaya look at them incredulously.
"Are you heartless!? Luffy's a normal person and there's no way he can't fight Klaha-Kuro!" Kaya shouts in anger while Law glares at her.
"He's stronger than you think. Now called the Marines before I do something horrible." Law sighs and eats with Corazon, guarding the two kids who were frightened as hell.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
Luffy walks towards the entrance, meeting two bodyguards. Before the bodyguards could say something, Luffy continues walking, using Conqueror's Haki to every person but Kuro. He follows Kuro's presence, alone in the kitchen. He slams the door and before Kuro could turn, he mercilessly tortures Kuro with his fists and kicks.
"This is for everything you've done." Luffy whispers with disgust obvious in his eyes. Kuro opened his eyes a little, seeing the straw hat. Luffy. That was the only thing he saw before being completely unconscious.
'Well, that escalated quickly.' After finishing, he doesn't turn back and returns to the inn. He ignores the weird looks he got since he had some blood in his hands and sandals. He enters the inn and completely goes into his room, surprising the four.
"I always kept telling you to knock first!" Corazon scolds before sighing and rubbing his head, talking about a migraine.
"Wo-woah, Luffy! T-that's-" Usopp gets cut off by Luffy, who grinned at him. A complete 180° changes.
"It's alright." Luffy reassures Usopp. He looks at Kaya, who showed her worry and fear all over her face.
"Kaya, I actually have a favor to ask of you…" Luffy says, a sad smile on his face.
"Oh, it's alright! While I'm sad to know that Klaha-Kuro was only using me probably because of my money, I'm thankful you saved me." Kaya says with a smile on her face.
"Oh, okay." Luffy pauses, "I actually need a ship because when I come back, I'm going to sail all over the world." Usopp gasped, He can't mean…
"It's okay, I'll give you Going Merry." Kaya clasps her hands together in happiness for repaying his savior, though this was probably not enough.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
After a while, Kaya along with her now-awake butler, Merry, shows them Going Merry. Merry didn't stop thanking Luffy and the two, it actually didn't stop until Law finally got enough and threatened that if he didn't stop saying thank you, he would actually stab the man with his scalpel. And it worked.
"Hey, Usopp." Usopp hums and turns to Luffy, who had a grin on his face.
"Yeah, what is it?" Usopp wasn't going to question why Luffy was going to become a pirate, he knew it was Luffy's dream, he wasn't going to stop him.
"Join my crew." Luffy says bluntly while Usopp choked at his own saliva.
"Y-You know I…" Usopp looks at Luffy. He was serious. Usopp looks at Kaya, who was talking to Merry. As much as Luffy didn't want to pressure the little guy, he has to go. 3 months is almost over. Usopp takes a deep breath, he knew Kaya would understand. "Alright, I'll wait when you come again!" Luffy grins and cheers.
At least, everything was alright.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"BYE EVERYONE!" Luffy shouts, waving at everyone. "See you soon, Usopp!" Alas, the island became a blur. Luffy sighs, looking at the two. "Well, we're finally going to my island."
