A/N: Sup dudes! I SURVIVED THE EXAM! Well, we just got 4 performance tasks, and all ends on Dec 3, 2018. I'm like, SHOOK! But I tried my best, though I'm like doing a full documentary on the other one its crazy! I'm watching a one hour documentary and I am not happy taking notes by hand. I mean, I gotta say 'em all since it's an interview-based Performance task! The other one, I haven't done anything to it since it's in group but they haven't been cooperating at all so I'm once again, SHOOK!

Also, I found someone comment that I've only been narrating One Piece, I've decided to change the way I do it. And if I have the chance to do so, I'll do it!

And I've finished ranting, time to answer some questions!

chimera629: Wonder how far zoro has progressed and who else saw the Manuel luffy made him

M: So far, he only wants Zoro to progress his swordsmanship. The others aren't given because he wants them to focus on their own ability than being strong for now. He'll teach them slowly so that they won't get pressured.

destroyerofheaven: why is luffy talking about dying that not sea prism stone and even if it was armorment haki that sword wont do shit

M: Well, he just went along the flow.

Dle: Don't get why shanks didnt just use haki to protect his arm or get a replacement like kid.

So did he cut his face or not?

Dissapointed he ate the gum gum again but wonder if he had awakened the fruit.

Hope he doesnt repeat everything from cannon considering that time he said he's rather quit being a pirate than being told where one piece is

Surprised je didnt tell them to check on ussope or about arlong

M: He did it to inspire Luffy,

Yes, yes he did.

He did awakened his fruit.

Well, that's a secret.

This is guest's (specific, the one who gave a lot of reviews) Q&A part xD

Guest: Man I don't know hiw hes putting up with ace shir or did the first time

M: He isn't putting up with Ace xD

Guest: Not seeing how hes getting any real training in or how ace and sabo blows hurt him.

Also dont get why hes acting weaker than he's already shown he is last chapter.

Glad he learned how to navigate his ability change his size is a little surprising along with his strength as he shouldnt be now where near as strong as he was

M: He's not training, he's pretending so that Sabo and Ace won't get suspicious.

He's pretending xD

Guest: How old does luffy look and why didn't he give nami haki and six power instructions?

Surprised he went after law or even remember

Luffy body manipulation is crazy as he shouldn't be as strong as he remembers

M: He's tall but he actually looks young due to his rubber devil fruit. I think that's already answered but… He did it so Nami and the others could focus on their natural talent.

Well, Law is very important for Luffy since he's Luffy's nakama.

xDD well, Luffy as a pirate king in my story is VERY strong.

Guest: I know I'm repeating myself but why no haki and six powers not for chopper

M: Same answer from Nami's.

Guest: I'm surprised he didnt tell cranky or Tom anything

M: That, my friend, is a secret xD

Guest: Surprised he's still having nightmares and given he's so effected by them rhat he recruired his crew again and didnt seem to leave trainimg Manuel for anyone bur zoro.

Though honestly its not surprising his crew was wipee l ir given how small they were and hiw many power ful enemies they made.

Yeah constantly hitting someone who you think is stupid on the head is going to help

M: Same answer from the question above.

Yes, they are strong but too much powerful enemies could overpower them.

Guest: What was luffy doing in the North blue if he didnt save sanji and zef.

Did he find robin?

Surprised luffy didn't go see Hancock

M: I wished I could have done that, but that was far from when Luffy was a child.

Nope, Robin's all around the world so it's not surprising.

Well, he's sure that even as a child in form, they wouldn't accept men.

Guest: Did luffy archive his grandpa height?

Yep he definitely should have left training instructions for his crew when he meet them as kids.

Who injured zoro before the buggy fight and why didnt luffy just tale moji and Richie out he should have been able to easily without risking zoro

Wonder where bart is didnt he say hes from the east blue.

Wow he dissapointed me when he said he told garp especially since he didnt tell his brothers and wont tell these two. Hes in his 70s he should have learned to keep secrets and lie by now

M: Garp is still taller

Answer is on the previous reviews.

Jean Bart? Considering he's a pirate maybe far from the canon, I decided not to add him.

Well, Garp saw Luffy's immense haki, so what kind of excuse can he say if it was strong?

Guest: After seeing the huge difference between himself and his captain and hearing that hea in the weakest of the 4 blues where hes been injured ill be dissapointed if zoro challenges Hawkeye.

Given luffy beat along ten years ago nami being surprised at his power is kinda stupid

M: Zoro's a man that has a lot of pride, so it wouldn't be a wonder if he fights Hawkeye and Luffy knows that. Luffy just fought him to train, not to tell how weak he is.

Nami wasn't surprised, she's angry at herself that she's weak.

Guest: He needs to start training the crew and needa to do something about sanji cause his behavior endangers the crew

M: Oh, he already does. I just don't show it on the chapters xD Oh and Sanji's behavior? I guess it's alright, I mean, Luffy wouldn't want Sanji to chance entirely right? Sanji's stupid behavior is one of the things Luffy endears about him!

Phew, that was long xD

Also, thank you guys for the 300th review! Here's a special chapter!

Disclaimer: Eiichiro Oda owns One Piece

Luffy is extremely bored, to the point he even bothered Sanji and get yelled at. I mean, what could he do? He's done everything even cleaning his room completely, no dirt spotted anymore. Luffy begins reminiscing as he laid on top of Going Merry's head, completely absentminded as he stares at the sky.

What instantly came to him is the valuable and pleasant nostalgia along his nakama and his brothers. He beams a little bit, but his brows were furrowed in sorrow.

Luffy determined to go to Sanji first, so he rises up and strides toward the lounge where Sanji is cooking. Opening the door, Sanji immediately groaned. "Go away, Shitty Strawhat. It's not dinner yet, so give inconvenience to someone else."

Luffy pouts a bit but goes in and closes the door, heaving a little bit along the way. "Hey, I wasn't going to bother you or anything…"

Sanji only huffs back and adds mushrooms to the food he's making. "Yeah, yeah. Just don't do anything stupid."

Luffy disregards Sanji's words and looks at the tempting meal whatever Sanji is making. "What're you cooking?"

"Beef Bourguignon." Sanji replied nonchalantly as he pours a burgundy red wine into the stockpot before adding the carrots he chopped. Next, he placed the chopped garlic then the cauliflower, he then places the celery. Adding the salt, pepper, and bay leaves, he adds a little rosemary before closing the stockpot and placing the stove in medium low heat.

It wasn't long before Luffy groaned and banged his head on the table, letting his stomach growl loudly. "That's surely delicious…" He pauses before raising his head slightly, enough to look at Sanji who just sat on the chair with his hand on the table while resting his eyes. "How many are you going to make?"

"Enough to satisfy your monstrous appetite along with the ladies." Sanji says seriouslu before puffing smoke from his cigarette. Luffy groans again, making Sanji chuckle a little. "It's going to take long, Shitty Strawhat. Go and bother someone else if you don't want to die in starvation while looking at the food."

Luffy just nods and walks out with his hungry look that was ready to take the beef brisket out, too bad Sanji was glaring at him. Closing the door, he immediately goes to the crow's nest to annoy Zoro.

"Hey, Zoro! What'cha doin'?" Luffy asks as he climbs up and looks at Zoro, who looked at him back.

"Training, what do you want?" Zoro asks while his voice held a little annoyance. Luffy pouts once again, why was his crew always like that to him?

"I just wanted to see you… Seriously, every time I go to one of you, all of you always ask with the same question and tone." Luffy complains as he clumsily plops on the wooden ground with a thud.

Zoro only shook his head and continued his training, which made Luffy grin and feel proud. After a few minutes, he decided to leave him alone and went away, letting Zoro alone.

Luffy visits Nami next, who was busy making maps. Her face was filled with stress, so Luffy thought to ease her mind with a little interruption. Luffy sat next to her, on the wooden ground. Nami immediately sees him at her peripheral vision and sighd. "What do you want?" Woah, her tone is more aggressive than Sanji's. Though, it wasn't surprising.

"Nothing, I just want to spend my time with you. Is that illegal now?" Luffy joked with a grin while Nami just looked at him, unimpressed.

"No it isn't, just don't bother me." Nami says as she returns to what she was making, a solemn face once again on her face. It wasn't long before Luffy got bored, so he stood up, ruffled Nami's hair and went away.

Last was Usopp, and like always, he was making things once again. He sits next to him and looks at what Usopp is inventing. "Hey, what's that?" Luffy says softly before Usopp looks at him with a grin.

"It's one of my experiment. If this is a success, then we can use this to block the enemy's vision for a moment, enough to attack them or dash out!" Usopp proudly says as his eyes sparkled at the thought. Luffy only laughs and pats Usopp's back, ultimately believing that he can do it.

"You can do it, Usopp!" He then leaves, not wanting to be an interruption for Usopp. He had no one to go to anymore, so he just naps on his favorite place.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

Dinner was served, and as usual, it was cheerful and noisy. But, a fight happened. Yes, and it wasn't the usual Zoro and Sanji fight. It was something worse…

Luffy was just annoying Nami, and then it suddenly got heated. Nami brought all of her maps to discuss the next island and the other islands. Luffy was still eating unlike everyone and when he reached for one of the meats that were on the center of the table, he accidentally moved Nami's glass of water that was just next to one of them amps, causing it to spill on one of them before fully making all of the maps wet one by one.

"I WORKED FOR DAYS JUST TO DO THIS!" Nami shouted, her voice and face full of anger and frustration. Luffy seemed to have a moment of shock before his eyes widening.

"N-Nami! I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean it!" Luffy suddenly stands up, immediately regretting looking at Nami's face. He knew Nami worked hard for it, each and every one of those. You can immediately see that she worked hard for it since each of it was extremely detailed, and that made him feel more guilty than the last time.

"YOU SHITTY STRAWHAT!" Sanji shouted as he kicked Luffy's head in anger. Of course, Luffy didn't feel it, but he immediately seemed to shrink as he felt two people angry at him. Important ones too.

Luffy knows how to create maps, maybe he should make a replica? Maybe Nami could forgive him then! "I-I'll do i-"

"FORGET IT!" Nami shouts as she all think about now are her maps and her hard work, all gone because of one mistake… "I HATE YOU!"

Luffy took a moment before tilting his head as he stayed still. "… What…?" His eyes were filled with confusion first, but deep down, he already understood those words.

Luffy's world seemed to stop as all that his mind thought of was those painful words Nami unleashed from the bottom of her heart. He froze in both shock and pain, wasn't he supposed to make his nakama happy? Why is he making it worse?

He immediately thought of all the bad scenarios as he stayed quiet, his eyes wide open. "Nami." Zoro didn't shout nor yell, but he said it in such a strong warning and threatening tone.

Sanji didn't even react nor side with Nami. What Nami just said were too painful, and if that hurts him to the bottom of his heart, then Luffy's are worse.

Usopp didn't know what to do, he was completely panicking as he looks at Nami. "H-hey, Nami… Wasn't that a bit… Hars-"

"If what I said was harsh, think about what he just did!" Nami shouted as she stomped away, going to her room and on her hand were her soaked maps.

No one made a move to comfort Luffy as the room was filled with tension, mostly coming out from Luffy. Usopp and Sanji just went away, not wanting to feel anymore from Luffy, who just stayed still and his eyes blank. Zoro only pats Luffy's shoulder before leaving, he knew, Sanji and Usopp knew that both of them made mistakes.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

It's been three days and Luffy hasn't come out from his room to see everyone, he's greatly stressed. Unlike Nami, who ignored his presence and had fun. But, she knew. Not only her, but they've also been missing the stupid man's presence. Sometimes they even involuntarily think of Luffy, and it greatly broke their heart.

"You know, Nami-chan…" Sanji stopped, he hates to say this but… Things were too unnatural. Luffy's presence became the center for them without even realizing it. Even Zoro couldn't stop Luffy since he understood him, how painful it must have been. But Luffy's were far stronger, painful, and heart breaking. "You should visit-"

"Why should I?" Nami says as she glared at him, making Sanji shut up. Her pride was too high for her to do it, but she was already missing the damn clumsy Strawhat.

Usopp suddenly bangs the door open, his face paler than paper and sweating furiously as he pants. "O-Oi!" The two looks at him, feeling quite uneasy. "There's two big pirate ships outside!" Usopp pauses, Nami and Sanji slowly stiffening. "They must have been in an alliance!"

Zoro rushes down to the deck, along with Sanji, Nami, and Usopp. "Didn't you tell it to Luffy!?" Zoro shouts to Usopp, who gulped. "H-his room was locked and I know the doors and walls there are soundproof so…"

That's where everyone realized a simple yet big mistake. They relied on Luffy too much, even when it comes to encouraging everyone. Zoro grit his teeth in anger, even he knew that when he observed everyone, even he relied on Luffy. Luffy always observed and helped them, each and every damn time even if they don't notice. Sure, that was his duty as the Captain, but it was as if Luffy was doing all the work. It just slipped on his damn mind and now he completely regrets it.

"If we're done with this fight…" Zoro starts, a big grin slowly forming on his face as he unsheathes his Wadou. "How about swallowing our pride just once and apologize to Luffy!?" Everyone looks at him in surprise before nodding, their spirits slowly raising up. "Alright, let's go!"

"YEAH!"

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

They've been tricked and got played with their enemy. Using one as a hostage then beating the other victim up. Even Zoro who lasted the longest got tricked, and they hate it.

They hate how weak they are.

They hate how they know that without Luffy, they can't do anything.

They hate how Luffy's not there.

.

.

.

They want him back…!

.

.

.

"GAH!"

Usopp shouts in pain as someone shot a bullet through his shoulder, the certain one laughing sadistically as if enjoying how someone was squirming in pain under his feet.

Nami, Zoro, and Sanji's eyes flashed incredible hate to the point their hair raised up. They were about to get up and fight for their injured nakama when all of the sudden...

Blood spilled.

Nami and the other's eyes widened, some blood even spilled on them.

"Who the hell are you weaklings...?"

A shiver crawled down everyone's spine as the known childish, jovial, and cheerful captain of the Strawhat Pirates' voice became dark and cold. "L-Luffy...?" Nami squirms and looks up a little from her place, and she regrets doing so.

Luffy's grin was nowhere to be found, his eyes turned into a cold glare. And to top it all, he had blood on his clothes, mostly on his hand that turned into a fist. They didn't think Luffy could be capable of making such a cold face, nor kill. Well, they thought so considering he was so jovial, to the point they even thought of Luffy as a little brother despite his figure. Except for Zoro who knows that Luffy can kill any time, he just knows that Luffy isn't that kind and nice. But this changed their point of view, Luffy looked so different to the point they felt uncomfortable being with him, a feeling they didn't believe they could develop at Luffy.

"Answer me, bastards." Luffy coldly spat as some of the pirate's knees gave up, looking at him in fear. "Did you think just playing stupidity and lowly pranks could defeat us?" The pirates couldn't reply, some even preparing to get away. Luffy loves how they gave him that look, petrified and scared. It's like his old persona came back, and it felt natural for him.

Damn!

"L-Luffy..." Usopp weakly says as he looks up shakily, his face shows all the pain he was feeling right now, and it made Luffy rage. Luffy's body began shaking in fury, seething in anger. How dare he sulk on his room and let something happen bad? He starts walking towards the uninvited pirates, who were petrified because of him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing…?" It sent shivers down their spine, each and every pirate felt it. Meanwhile, the Strawhat Pirates couldn't even look at their captain, they were ashamed. To fall on a petty trick and rely on him… "Trying to hurt MY nakama…?"

"Who the hell are you?" A weak yet cocky pirate asked despite feeling the terrifying sensation. Every pirate looked at him as if he was insane, which probably was the case.

"I think it's better if you…" Luffy's figure disappeared and suddenly appeared on the air in front of the pirate, his eyes glowing in bloodthirst and anger. "Don't know about me…!"

It took just one weak hit to show his immense strength.

"I'll spare no mercy for anyone who tries to take my nakama away from me…" His persona changed, the Strawhat Pirates knew that. For his cheerful and happy tone turn into one that they haven't heard before, something that anyone could fear.

"W-we'll go away and give your t-treasures back…" The captain says with a fearful tone, matching the look on his face as he shakes in fear and sweating furiously.

Luffy chuckles darkly, "I'm sorry, but what language are you speaking…?" The pirates look at him both in confusion and fear. "It sounds like bullshit… Did you think I would let you all free?" He takes a step forward, making the pirates take a step back with their shaking figures. This wasn't their plan, he wasn't a part of it. "I'll slowly torture you all and devour your hope to live…" Luffy pauses, his grin that his nakama loves suddenly turn into something malicious and dark. "Enjoy the hopelessness and fear in your faces as you scream for help…"

"L-Luffy…" Nami says weakly as she shakily stands up and looks at him once again with a frown, who looked at her back. It immediately scared her…

The person in front of her isn't her captain…

"J-just let them go and let's get back on our daily lives…!" Nami says as she takes a step forward, a frown on her face.

Luffy's face slowly turned into a frown and a solemn one. "But they hurt all of y-"

"It's alright!" Nami says as she looks at the pirates in anger, "Just don't mind these stupid pirates!"

Luffy closed his eyes and takes a moment of silence before sighing and nodding. He looks at both relieved and scared pirates, "You're lucky my navigator is kind, or else all of you would have been slowly dying right now…" The pirates gulp as they take a step back once again, some even touching the railing of Going Merry. "Now get away from my sight- my nakama's sights…" The pirates immediately ran in fear towards their ships and went away.

It took a while, but Luffy cut the rope that tied them. And after that, was silence. But inside Luffy's thoughts, he was panicking.

'Do they fear me now…!? Are they going to leave me…? No…! I won't let that happen, I would-' "Luffy…" Nami voice snapped him back to reality, and he looks at Nami who looked at him back.

Nami is very satisfied that her captain didn't wear such a face anymore, and she hopes to not see that face as much as possible. "I-I'm very sorry… I didn't swallow my pride and let you suffer…"

"I'm also sorry, Luffy." Zoro suddenly says as he frowns, "I failed as your first mate…" He failed to protect his nakama and stand up to his position as a first mate.

"We're also sorry." Sanji and Usopp say as all of them bows at him, making Luffy step back a little in surprise. "FORGIVE US!"

It took a moment for Luffy to laugh and hug his family, "Stupid, I've forgiven you all from the very beginning. But I'm also sorry, I failed as your captain…"

"Stupid…" Nami whispers as all of them close their eyes and just enjoy the silence with the warmth of Luffy.

OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO

After that, they went back on their daily lives. Eat with the cheerful atmosphere once again, with someone to annoy them to death once again, and with someone to be their center once again.

"STOP THERE, SHITTY STRAWHAT!" Sanji shouts as he runs toward Luffy, who was running with a meat on his hands.

"SHISHISHISHISHI!" Luffy sharply turns around the corner, causing Sanji to abruptly stop and slowly hit the railing, making him fall on the ocean.

'Thank you for being with us always… Luffy… We'll promise to be stronger than this!'
