It was on a sunny day that Luffy set sail, all of Fuchaa village and the bandits had come to see him of. After some watery goodbye from Makino and surprisingly enough Dadan, he left whit a big smile on his face. But mere minutes after he left the shore the seaking that never left the waters of Goa kingdom stopped him on his travel. While the people on the shore shouted for him to come back, he didn't even bother to look at the eel looking seaking, he just sent his way a small burst of Haoshoku no Haki that made the Seaking run away from him like the fires of hell were licking his back. The villagers for their part were stunned by the display of power from the kid.

After some time being carried by the currents, Luffy found himself hungry once again. This time however he didn't have anything to eat, because had eaten all his provisions the first time he got hungry. However, the straw hat boy didn't get the time to think about his hunger very much because of the whirlpool that was sucking his little dinghy. He didn't really get much time to think what to do; he just jumped in the provisions barrel and closed it over himself. After some time in the dark he let himself drift to sleep.

When Luffy woke up sometime later, he was happy to find himself still very much alive and inside the barrel. He had been awoken by the sound of voices outside the dark barrel. He recognized one of the voices from all the ones that were speaking from his dreams; it was Coby's voice. He waited some more time then he opened the barrel forcefully and knocked in the process the man that was going to punch the barrel open. He frightened the shit out of the three other people in the room. That was the moment his stomach chose to gurgle, reminding him of his hunger.

"Do you know where I can find food" he asked the shocked Coby who begun to stutter.

The two remaining pirates weren't pleased by the way Luffy was ignoring them so they tried to slice him to pieces with their swords; Coby covered his face afraid of what would happen. Luffy, for his part just stood there looking at them with a bored expression, when the swords were mere inches from him, he whispered "Tekkaï" and when the two swords collided with him they simply broke into shared, the two men were frightened to no end by that and then Luffy punched them out of the place before turning to Coby again. They went to the storage room where Luffy found a lot of food and he dove in directly.

"You know if Lady Alvida find you, you're going to die for what you did to her man" The pink haired boy said.

"As if she could, I'm going to be the next pirate king so I'm not going to die when my journey has only begun" Luffy told him with conviction in his voice, a conviction that impressed greatly Coby but his pessimism kicked in a heartbeat later.

"Pirate king? But every pirate out there on the sea is out to be that, you're going to die if you continue." The boy said hysterically and he kept going "impossible…impossible… totally impossi…"

Luffy unnerved by the boy's rambling punched him on the head, which stopped the boy from continuing about how impossible that task was. When the boy stared at luffy with a flat expression Luffy laughed.

"You were hysterical" The straw hat boy explained to the younger one "Even if it is impossible to accomplish, even if I have to fight every single pirates that roam the seas I will do it because it is my dream, and I will gladly die while trying to achieve it."

The pink haired boy was awestruck by Luffy's word; he had never met someone who had such unwavering faith in his dreams. He felt ashamed while he stood there frozen by such heartfelt words because he had abandoned his dream.

"Do you think I could do it? If I were ready to die for my dream?" asked the boy in a pathetic little and trembling voice.

"What is your dream, Coby?"

"I always wanted be a marine, from very little, so I could capture pirates the like of lady Alvide" the boy spoke, not even finding it strange that Luffy know his name even if he had never told him his name in the first place, with conviction and determination.

"A friend of mine always told me: To those with a strong enough will, nothing is impossible."

After some more eating, in fact till the storage room was emptied of any and all food, Luffy and Coby went in search of a dinghy for Luffy to use. When they arrived to the ship deck, they were greeted by a crew of pirates led by a very big, fat and angry woman. The very large and huge women began rambling about how she was the most beautiful women of the seas, that's it until Luffy opened his mouth.

"Coby, who's this whale?" the quiet that followed the question was a proof of the shock everyone was feeling about the straw hat boy's bold words.

"HOW DARE YOU, YOU BRAT… KILL HIM" Alvida ordered her crew; they obeyed instantly and made their way to kill the insolent fool who had mocked their captain.

Coby was frightened shitless and he even tried to make a run for it but then he saw that Luffy hadn't even twitched from his place, he stopped in his tracks and stood beside the straw hat boy. Luffy for his part war wearing that bored expression on his face again, he even yawned once just to anger the men that were facing him. He made a very quick work of them not even bothering to use his devil fruit abilities or even his Haki.

When he turned to Alvida, he found her fuming from anger and if looks could kill he would have died a thousand very painful deaths, lucky him: Looks don't kill. The woman came to smash his head with her huge club. Luffy just stared at her with that bored expression, and when the club was going to hit him, he just whispered "Tekkaï" and the club shattered the moment it made contact with his hade. Than luffy just lunched his arm backward and let it stretched till his fist was out of the ship, he then smiled at Alvida.

"Goodbye…Gomu gomu no pistol" and then he punched her on the face, sending her flying very far away.

Minutes later, the marine was bombarding the two ships, the pirates' one and cruise one intending to sink them. Luffy and Coby took one of the dinghies and escaped on the little boat before the marine was close enough to see them. When they both were on water Luffy caught a glimpse of an orange-headed girl who was on another dinghy trying to escape the hell the marine were causing."Nami" Luffy taught while smiling in her direction.

After some time in silence where Coby was navigating the small boat toward the nearest island, Luffy chose to abord the topic that was nagging him.

"So I heard that Roronoa Zoro is being held captive by the marines somewhere close by."

"Yeah, he's held in the island we're heading to, why do you asked?" the pink haired boy asked out of curiosity.

"Well if he were a good guy he could join my crew" Luffy said casually with a note of cheerfulness on his voice.

"Why no… WHAT? Are you crazy, he's a pirate's hunter and live only for the bounty. They say he's a demon in human flesh, are you seriously considering to ask him to join your crew?" the boy completely freaked out by Luffy words. Luffy stayed silence and the rest of the travel till they reached the island was spent in a tense silence.

When they arrived in town after some hours later. Luffy and Coby made their way to the naval base and in their way there, they received very weird reaction when the names Zoro and Morgan were said in their conversation. The reaction to Morgan's name surprise a great deal Coby who taught that the man was in charge of the naval base here should be respected and loved not feared.

When they arrived at the gate of the base, Luffy thought that they would split up, while he got in search of Zoro – Even if he already know where to find him he didn't want Coby to be suspicious- the pink haired boy would go join the marine as he had wanted, but he just tagged along with Luffy.

They arrived just in time to see a girl being thrown out of the yard where the executions were held. Luffy caught her just before she hit the ground by using Soru, something that surprised Coby a great deal because one moment Luffy was next to him and the next he was holding a little girl some twenty yards away.

After assuring that the girl was alright Luffy went inside the yard and saw Zoro bound to a pole the same way in his dreams. He made his way to the swordsman and stopped right in front of him, inspecting the state he was in. Bloodied and covered with bruises as if he had been beaten, which he surly was. He also looked starved and parched. He looked up at Luffy after some time of silence with a scowl.

"What do you want?" he asked the straw hat boy with a cold voice.

"Hello, I'm Luffy and I'm gonna be the next pirate king and I want you to join my crew" Luffy answered cheerfully all the while smiling stupidly at Zoro. The man seemed irritated by the boy and his demeanor.

"No" came the reply almost instantly with an exasperated ton in his still cold voice.

"You're going to die if you stay here" Luffy told him with that cheerfulness that was really getting on Zoro's nerves. He was going to curse the idiot in front of him when what the boy had said finally hit home and the swordsman's eyes widened in shock.

"What?" he arrived to articulate just that lone word in what he hoped was something understandable enough.

"Well are you truly expecting that weird guy and his father to truly hold their part of the bargain" Luffy laughed at the look the older man gave him "they are corrupted officers that has built their hold over this island with fear and when words goes out that they killed the infamous pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro that will give them more power."

The man was dumbfound by those words, he hadn't thought about it when he had accepted the bargain the man had offered, the purpose for all this situation had been saving that girl and her mother nothing else. But even knowing that know he couldn't back of or that bastard would go back to harassing them and all he had already gone through would be pointless.

"So, I can release you if you wanted but you must join my crew" the boy said with that cheerfulness that didn't seem to leave him at all "or you refuse and I let you to your fate, what say you?"

Before he got the chance to speak Morgan's son barged in again and this time wasn't pleased to see that someone else was helping the prisoner and he begun rambling about how his father was going to execute him for disobeying his orders. Luffy looked at him with a bored expression and that done something that surprised everyone, he punched helmepo and then as if nothing happed at all he turned to face Zoro again and raised an eyebrow at him.

Zoro heaved a tired sigh, while the spoiled brat went to tell his father what happened meanwhile Luffy seemed bored and unconcerned by what's happening around him.

"Bring me my swords and I will join you" the swordsman said his eyes closed when he open them again Luffy wasn't there anymore. Mere minutes later a pink haired boy came and begun untying his ropes while blabbering nonsense about being Luffy's friend and that he couldn't stand back and not help him after he learned what he had done to save that girl and her mother from that corrupted officer and his son.

Meanwhile Luffy had destroyed on purpose the statue Morgan was going to erect like an image of his glory and his might, he then entered the base and went directly for the weird guy room. He stopped, after sometime later, in his tracks when he sensed through his Kenbunshoku no Haki a presence that stood out from all the other present on the base. Sometime later he recognized it from his dream. "Nami's here" he thought with a smile than continue in his course toward the weird guy's room.

He stopped dead on his track when he arrived at that land forgotten from god. It was just a horrid display that hurt the eye, there was just too much pink to be bearable. He quickly found the three swords belonging to Zoro in one corner of the room. He took them and went to the window, what he saw made him smile; Coby was trying to untie Zoro ropes while being threatened by Morgan's man.

Luffy just jump out the window and landed between the marines and his two friends, the moment the former fired at them. Luffy just stood there while Zoro was shouting for him to run, then he noticed that Coby was just staring at Luffy. He looked by at the straw hat boy just in time to see the bullets bouncing off of him. When he turned around to face Zoro, he was smiling that idiotic smile of his again and he was unscathed.

The marines for their part was scared out of their wit, their bullets just bounced on the man not even hurting him. And their superior was urging them to fight such a monster or to kill themselves. Luffy was looking at them with that bored expression of his, and when he saw that most of the marines present in the yard were pointing their weapons at their head he sighed and sent their way a very weak burst of Haoshoku no Haki that knocked out all of them and surprising the three still standing people in the yard.

The next moment Luffy was facing Morgan, while still holding Zoro sword in one of his hands. In the blink of an eye he was on his other hand and one of Luffy's leg hit him in the guts sending him to crash unconscious on one of the base walls. Luffy then stood up and made his way to Zoro and handed him his three swords after cutting the ropes Coby hadn't untied yet.

Sometime later found them on Rika's mother restaurant eating till they were full. They were conversing and laughing until the marine came and practically throwing out of town but not before Luffy made sure Coby integrated the marine with the help of an infinitesimally weak burst of Haoshoku no Haki that made everyone gasping for air.

When they were on their dinghy a little away from the shore, Coby and the marines saluted them which impressed Zoro a bit, even with the display of power shown by his new captain made the trick some time before.

Hope you enjoyed it .

Till the next time,
