When Luffy jumped onto the deck of the pirate ship, he immediately noticed there were no pirates on the deck. Deciding to see how many people he would have to deal with. Luffy focused his observation haki on both the ocean liner and the pirate ship. Seeing as there were only about thirty auras in total and all of them being below the deck, other than the ones he knocked out. Luffy decided to find the largest aura, assuming to be the Captain of the ship. Once below deck, Luffy knocked out two unsuspecting guards, with a swing of his pipe to back to their heads.
Continuing down the hallway towards the sizeable aura, he was led to a storage room. In this room, Luffy found someone he wasn't expecting, a small, pudgy pink haired kid.
"Hey kid, what's your name?" Luffy asked the boy.
"What are you doing here, this is a pirate ship you know. If they find you, they will kill you, or worse make you into a cabin boy." The kid replied, obviously terrified of the pirates on this ship.
"I know this is a pirate ship, but you didn't answer my question. What's your name?"
"What? Oh, my name is Koby. I'm a cabin boy on this ship." He said while sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. "What's your name?" Koby asked the strange guy with the Straw Hat.
"Me? I am Monkey D. Luffy, future Pirate King. Nice to meetcha!" Luffy answered with a large grin.
"P-Pi-Pi-Pirate King! You want to be the Pirate King? No way, that's not possible! You will be killed before you even make it to the Grand Line- Ouch! Why did you hit me?" Koby asked, while rubbing the sizeable lump on his head.
"I hit you because you said I couldn't accomplish my dream. I decided to be the Pirate King and it doesn't matter if I die on my journey. As long as I die fighting to become the Pirate King, I'll be happy." Luffy declared with a smile on his face.
Stunned by this man's' resolve, Koby began to think, "If he believes he can make his dream a reality, is mine possible as well?" Koby then turned to Luffy and asked, "Luffy, do you think my dream is possible also? It's not as grandiose as yours, but most would say its just as crazy."
"How should I know? What's your dream?" Luffy asked while munching on an apple he found in a crate.
"I want to become a Navy Admiral! It's been my dream ever since childhood. Do you think it's possible?" Unknown to Koby, this caused his aura to grow and fluctuate in strength.
Luffy seeing this kid had the potential to do anything he wanted in this world, he decided to give him the fire to accomplish his dream. "Anything is possible in this world, Koby. As long as you are dedicated to your dream, then it can be accomplished. Just remember your only limitation is yourself."
"But, we will be enemies. We will have to fight each other." Koby said, disappointed by this realization.
"Koby, do you hate me?"
"No, I don't hate you."
"Are we friends?"
"Yes, we are friends."
"Then you have nothing to worry about, we will always be friends as long as you remember your dream and this day. Even If we are on opposite sides of the law." Luffy replied with a smile.
"So this is the man who took out some of my crew. Koby, why are you talking to him, shouldn't you always be with me?" At the sound of this persons' voice, Koby started to cower in fear.
When Luffy turned around, he laid his eyes on the fattest person he'd ever seen. Even bigger than Luck Roo and Dadan, which is saying a lot. "Who are you?" A bewildered Luffy asked while staring at the massive person.
"BOYS, Whose the beautiful woman in the all of the seas?" the behemoth of a "woman," asked the men behind her.
"You, Alvida-sama." Every man behind her said obediently, while Koby was cowering still in fear.
"YOU'RE A WOMAN?!" A baffled Luffy then looked to Koby. "Koby, are you alright?"
"KOBY, didn't you hear me. WHO IS THE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ON THE ALL OF THE SEAS?" Alvida screamed at the boy and looked at him expectantly.
Only now had Koby picked his head up from the floor. He first looked at Alvida, then to Luffy, and had another realization. "If I want to be a Marine, much less an Admiral, I can't cower to pirates. I must stand up for myself because no one else will." Koby stood up and with his knees still shaking, he screamed, "ALVIDA, IS THE BIGGEST AND UGLIEST WHALE IN THE ENTIRE EAST BLUE!"
"Shishishishi" Luffy laughed while pointing at Alvida.
"Why you little brat!" Alvida said putting her mace on her shoulder. "So, you finally decided to grow a pair. I guess it's time to get rid of you." Just as Alvida turned to Koby, Luffy appeared in front of him.
While looking at Koby, Luffy pat his shoulder. "That was Hilarious, Koby. Let me take it from here." Luffy said while turning around to deal with the mace falling straight towards his head. Moving his body out of the way of the over-head swing, he watched as the mace hit Alvidas' shin and hearing a distinct crack of bones. Watching her jump up and down from the self-inflicted injury, Luffy could swear the whole ship was bouncing along with her. Quickly getting bored of this, Luffy decided to finish the rest of the pirates in a single blow. As Alvida was hobbling towards the doorway, Luffy punched her in the back with some of his strength, only to send her and her crew twinkling away in the sky.
Koby looked at the hole in disbelief, before tarring his eyes away and to Luffy. "I can't believe you beat them all, with a single punch!" Koby turned back to the large hole in the ship, where the woman who had terrorized his life for the last three years was just jettisoned, somewhere into the sky.
"Now that that's over... Koby, do you know where that whale kept her navigation equipment, maps, compass, anything?"
"Yes, she kept her logbook and maps in her quarters."
"Great, can you get it for me? I'm going to get food for our voyage to the next island."
"Yes Luffy-sama, I'll get it right away." Koby then tried to hurry out the door only to be stopped by Luffy with another hand on his shoulder.
"Koby." Luffy gave him a glare. "I'm not holding you hostage, remember we are friends," Luffy finished with a smile. "I also don't think the marines would recruit a kid that they found on a pirate ship, do you?"
"No, you're right. Ok, I'll be right back with the map and compass."
"Great, I'll go get the food from the Liner and we will be on our way." Luffy replied, already salivating at the thought of food.
It took Luffy twenty minutes to get to the dingy, and not because of the massive bag of food he was carrying on his shoulder. But because he found a meat pyramid that looked to be glistening with gold, and he just couldn't help himself. Although, when he got to the dingy, Koby had already circled the closest island on the map and knew which direction to go. Lowering the dingy into the blue, Luffy hopped in and they were on their way.
After awhile, Koby got bored which wasn't surprising considering there isn't much to do on the open seas, so he decided to make small talk. "Luffy, how are you going to be the Pirate King without a crew?
"Shishishishi, of course I don't have a crew yet, I just started my journey, but I hope to find my first nakama soon, maybe on the next island."
After a few minutes, Luffy asked, "So Koby, what is the Island we're heading to?"
"According to this map, the closest Island is called Yotsuba Island, and it is about two days from where Alvida attacked that Sea Liner."
"Well then, I'm glad I got this much food. Otherwise, I would starve." Luffy said with a grin on his face.
"Luffy, you need to be careful on this next island."
"Why is that?" Luffy asked while already eating a piece of meat from the massive sack of food.
"Well, I heard the best swordsman in the East Blue made it his base. I also heard that he's a bounty hunter. Alvida was terrified he would come after her bounty soon."
"Well, it's good I don't have a bounty then right." Luffy replied with a smile. "By the way, what is this swordsman's name?"
"Roronoa Zoro, from what the pirates said, he is a demon who wields three swords at once."
Luffy looked into the distance, with stars in his eyes. "Three swords! That's so cool!"
"No, it isn't Luffy! He might kill you when he learns your a pirate. You can't talk to hi-Ouch! Why did you hit me?" Koby asked now sporting to large lumps on his head.
"Because." Luffy said matter of factly.
Due to Luffy's incredible appetite, the massive sack of food only lasted a day and a half, much to Koby's surprise. Finally, on the second day, Luffy and Koby made it to Shells town, in the Yotsuba Islands. "Koby, let's go get some lunch at a bar. I'm Starving!" Luffy said as his stomach growled so loud it scared a few of the townspeople close by.
"How can you eat so much?" Koby questioned under his breath.
Ignoring his question in favor of finding food, Luffy hurried to the only bar in town. Hoping to not only find food but this famous swordsman as well.
When Luffy and Koby entered the bar, Luffy immediately found a stool at the bar and ordered ten plates of meat and a bottle of Sake. Koby took the stool next to Luffy and started eyeing one of his plates of meat. Which Luffy noticed, and simply slid over a plate for him to eat. Luffy finished his nine plates in the time it took Koby to eat his, and when he finished, he looked around the bar for this three sword swordsman. Not seeing the man he wanted to meet, he asked the lady behind the counter, "Hey barkeep, I heard there was a famous bounty hunter on this island, named Roronoa Zoro." The second the swordsman's name left his mouth, every patron in the bar recoiled in fear. Which confused Luffy greatly.
A little girl then came from behind the counter and sat right next to Luffy and said, "Zoro was arrested for killing the pet wolf of Captain Morgan's son, Helmeppo. Helmeppo released the wolf on the town and it attacked our bar and me because I had a plate of food in my hands, so he killed it to save my life. Helmeppo arrested him, and then made a bet with him."
"Which was?" Luffy asked while taking a few pulls from his bottle of sake.
"If Zoro could survive this entire month without eating any food, all charges would be dropped. But I overheard Helmeppo bragging to some marines, saying he would kill him after the thirty days was up anyway. I wish I could save him, but every time I've told him, he doesn't believe me."
"How long has it been since?"
"He's been starving for twenty-three days." The girl said with tears in her eyes.
"Where is he being held?" Koby asked the girl.
"In the courtyard of the base, but if you are going to see him, can you bring him these rice balls? I worked really hard on them and was going to bring them today anyway."
"Alright, I'll go. Koby, you can stay here if you want. I'll probably start some trouble, so just a warning." Luffy said taking the three balls of rice and started heading towards the door.
"I'm coming too!" Koby said rushing to follow Luffy out of the establishment.
"I thought you didn't want to be a pirate Koby, what's with the sudden change of heart?" Luffy asked the pink-haired boy.
"I just want to see the man that kept Alvida up at night." Luffy recognized the lie but didn't call him out on it. This might be good for him to see a marine captain, who is mad with power, and extremely corrupt.
"Alright, but stay back... I don't want you to get caught up in the fray." Luffy said looking down at Koby, only to see his head down in contemplation.
"Luffy, can I ask you a question?"
"You don't need my permission, Koby. Whats up?"
"I thought The Marines were supposed to be the good guys, but the people in this town they are so afraid of the marines who protect them. How could someone who follows justice, become so... so..corrupt?" Koby asked, with his eyes still on the path ahead of them.
"Koby, you have to remember...Marines are people too. There are good ones and bad ones, just like there are good and bad pirates or even good and bad parents." Luffy answered while thinking about Daden.
The two walked in silence for a while, before coming up on a large gated compound. Walking around the perimeter, they found a broken part of the wall. Which looked to have been broken by cannon-fire. Looking through the sizeable hole, a man was tied to a cross. He had a green bandana covering the top of his head and his eyes were shadowed.
Koby looked in awe and fear of the man, who was said to have been starving for the last twenty-three days, but looked as though he fight an entire pirate crew. Koby looked over to where he thought Luffy was, only to see nothing but air beside him. Looking back to the swordsman, there was Luffy standing right in front of the pirate hunter.
"Hey, you hungry? I got some rice balls for you to eat." Luffy asked to the starving swordsman in front of him.
The man lifted his head and opened an eye to look at Luffy and said, "Get lost pole guy, I don't need any food."
"Oh yeah? Then I'll eat it myself." Luffy said while bringing one of the rice balls slowly, and agonizingly closer to his mouth.
When Zoro finally smelled the fresh rice balls, even Koby could hear his stomach growl in desperate need. "Fine, give em' to me."
"Here..." Luffy said putting the rice balls, one at a time in Zoro's mouth.
"Why is there sugar on these rice balls? I thought you were supposed to use salt..." Zoro asked still chewing the last ball.
"Shishishishi, I didn't make them. A little girl at the bar in town did. You will have to ask her."
"Alright thanks for the food, now get the hell out of here, pipe guy. I only have seven days left before I win this bet." Zoro finished with a determined look on his face, but only then did Zoro notice the bottle of sake in his right hand.
Noticing the swordsman eyeing his sake, Luffy asked, "Do you want a couple pulls, before I go?" Shaking the bottle and the sake inside.
Zoro looked towards the gate, then back toward Luffy, and nodded his head.
Putting the bottle to his mouth and slowly tilting, Luffy decided to tell him Helmeppo's plan. "Zoro... About this bet..."
Zoro took a couple mouth fulls from the bottle then after a couple seconds he asked, "What about it?"
"I overheard some guards on the way out of town... They said that you are going to be executed even if you win this bet."
Hearing this caused Zoro's eyes to widen, "That little piece of shit when I get my hands on him, I'm going to tear him a new asshole!" Zoro stated seething with anger. Luffy could see the crazy amount of bloodlust that was radiating off of this man. It reminded him of the tiger in the jungles of Dawn Island.
"I can free you, but you only have to do one thing for me..."
"Ha, I expected a catch, so what do you want?" Zoro asked with a smirk.
"I want you to join my pirate crew." Luffy declared sporting a large grin, before taking a pull of sake himself.
Zoro's face faltered a bit, "Join your crew huh, and is that pink haired kid also in your crew?" Zoro asked, looking behind Luffy at Koby.
Luffy turning to see Koby, clearly sticking his head out in full view of the compound.
"Nah he isn't, he just wanted to see a corrupt marine. But, you would be my first mate and Vice-captain. The only thing I'd ever make you do is to follow your dream, no matter how crazy it is." Luffy stated with a wide grin.
"Vice-captain huh, what would stop me from just turning you in after you free me?"
"Other than the fact that I don't have a bounty yet, I always heard swordsmen have a code of honor... Or is that just lie?"
"Its true, fine I'll join your crew... But If you ever show weakness, I'll kill you myself." Zoro said grinning wildly. "Go get my swords, then I'll be able to cut these ropes.
"Great! But before I go, I have one last thing to ask you... What is your dream?"
"My dream... Has always been to be the world's greatest swordsman. Crazy right?" Zoro asked with a sly grin.
"Shishishishi, the King of Pirates would require nothing less," Luffy answered before vanishing from sight.
Zoro's eyes widened, before closing with a smile. "The King of Pirates huh, maybe I'm not so crazy after all,"
Luffy reappeared beside Koby, "Koby, marines are coming this way, stay out of sight and don't make a sound... Alright?" Luffy ordered.
"Alright, I'll watch from here," Koby replied, looking a slightly scared.
"Great, I'll be back soon," Luffy said before Moonwalking towards the top of the marine base, baffling Koby at this seemingly impossible feat.
Just as Luffy said, two marines and a teen with a terrible haircut showed up less than a minute later. Koby couldn't hear every word the teen said, but by his body language, he was gloating to the swordsman. After a small conversation and the swordsman obviously angering the teen, then Helmeppo ordered the guards to beat the swordsman for his words. This beating went on for what seemed like minutes before Helmeppo finally told the marines to stop, the beaten and bloody swordsman spit a wad of blood in Helmeppo's face causing him to nearly throw up in disgust when the red liquid splattered on his face and expensive clothing.
"Now, I need to change my wardrobe, peasant. Guards, follow me to my quarters. Daddy should be finished with the ceremony soon, then he'll deal with you." Helmeppo announced with disgust towards Zoro.
Helmeppo and the guards quickly left the compound and went towards the entrance to the base.
In a few seconds, Luffy reached the top of the Marine base, he was greeted by the sight of a hundred or so marines trying to erect a large statue of a man. Some of the marines noticed the flying man in the straw hat and dropped the rope connected to the statue in shock and disbelief. Without every marine pulling with all their might, the statue fell. Breaking in half, and crushing a third of the marines on the roof under its weight.
Seeing as he has already caused some chaos, Luffy dropped to the front of the base and focused his Observation on the floors below the roof. He quickly noticed three auras on the second floor and a familiar aura on the sixth floor. Luffy quickly climbed the stairs and headed towards the three auras. He then rounded a corner only to quickly step back into the shadows, because the three auras, a kid and two Marines left a room and were heading his way. Luffy overheard the kid talk about how nice the "trophies" in his room are, which immediately got Luffy's attention. The three walked past him without even a glance in his direction.
Going to the door those three just left, Luffy kicked it open and quickly scanned the room. His eyes then spotted the three katana, a beautiful white katana, which looked to be extremely valuable and two average looking blades underneath it. Taking all three swords, Luffy decided to just break through the window overlooking the compound for a quicker escape.
When Luffy landed in the compound, he heard the distinct sound of a siren, alarming every remaining marine to the presence of intruders. Luffy quickly used shave to get to Zoro as fast as possible. Luffy appeared in front of Zoro much to the latter's surprise and cleanly cut the ropes restraining the man. Once Zoro got his bearings and got to his feet, Luffy gave him his katana.
Looking back at the marines now flooding the compound, Luffy turned back to Zoro and said, "Zoro, it's time to see what you can do. I only have one order, If he's a corrupt marine, he's a dead one. Got it?"
Zoro gave him a wicked smile while radiating bloodlust and replied, "Got it, Captain."
"Oh Zoro, one last thing."
Saying this stopped Zoro in his tracks and he looked back to Luffy. "What is it?"
"My name is Luffy, Shishishishi, now let's have some fun!" Luffy said looking at the marines who had surrounded them and were aiming their rifles. Right after that Luffy grabbed his pipe from its place on his back and disappeared. When Luffy reappeared with his pipe dripping with blood, he turned to see the bloody and broken bodies of marines left in his wake.
Looking to see the damage Zoro has caused, Luffy saw him cut down the last marine in his path, before facing the strongest marine in the base, Captain Morgan. Deciding this would be fun to watch, Luffy concentrated his observation on the auras of the cannon fodder around the compound, and used a small blast of Conqueror's Haki, to knock them out.
Captain Morgan was furious, not only was his statue destroyed because of a "flying" man with a straw hat, every marine in the base was now either dead or out cold. "All of you are worthless and pathetic! If any of you are still conscious, I ORDER YOU TO SLIT YOUR THROATS!" Morgan screamed at his marines, but not getting any responses. Morgan looked at the man, no demon in front of him, and could only see one red eye from under his bandana. Morgan finally understood the situation he was in, and even Koby could smell the piss in his pants.
Seeing as they were all alone, Zoro let his bloodlust rage. It being the largest Luffy had seen, he actually got excited, although he knew Zoro would win... This would be a good test to see how strong Zoro really was.
After a few seconds of silence, Zoro mumbled "Oni Giri" and moved faster than the eye could blink. He was right on the hulking marine, and with three slashes the marine fell, showering the ground in blood. After three seconds, his axe landed right beside his head, lodged in the ground.
Luffy walked over to the marine captain and flipped him over. He wanted to see where he was cut and how deep, but something caught his eye. Luffy looked towards the marine base and saw a long and deep gash, which wasn't there before the attack. He then looked at the wall of the courtyard and saw a similar gash. Looking back down at the marine captain, the man was already dead, his neck and having been cleaved completely through. The Marine's arms were cut off as well.
Luffy then walked to where Zoro and Koby were waiting for him, outside the compound and Zoro said with a satisfied grin, "So, where to next Captain?"
