Previously on luffy's lightning legion:

(Time skip) three days later.

Luffy, leona , and alvida were at the town's port standing in front of the red force and shanks. Luffy had tears coming down his eyes at seeing his friend and role model leaving. The girls were handling it easier than luffy but had tears leaking from there eyes.

" hey luffy, I thought you weren't a kid, why you crying." shanks says in a teasing tone. This angered luffy.

" Shut up, I will be a stronger and more famous pirate then you will ever be. I will be the king of the pirates." luffy yells. Luffy sees shanks smile takes his hat off his head and puts it on luffys head and says.

" when you reach the top give that back to me in good condition, alright luffy." shanks says to luffy and walks up the gangplank with a smile on his face thinking.

( the next generation will be interesting that's for sure) and with that thought in mind the red haired pirates sailed a way back to the grand line.

(Now)

Chapter 3: meeting a new friend and the devil fruit.

(time skip: 11 years)

Dawn Island, Foosha village.

Near the docks of foosha village stood a big crowd, this crowd as gathered to see of our favorite lightning boy now lightning man and the two daughters of the local pub.

Luffy had grown into a fine young man over the years, now being 17. Luffy was tall standing at about 5' 11" almost 6' tall,luffy was also very muscular, not the size of a bodybuilder but not a swimmers body either.( picture luffy with a goku style build) His black hair that was short in his youth was now about shoulders length. Luffy wore a black muscle shirt with a red unbuttoned cardigan over it. He wore black pants, tied around his waist a katana its scabbard pure black with only a blue line going down the middle, the only thing visible as the hand guard its shape done in the circle with it being hollowed out to form a three tomoe. On the other side as a flintlock pistol. On his feet he wore sandals. ( it wouldn't be luffy with out the sandals and hat) to complete the outfit on top of luffys head there was the straw hat given to him by his mentor and friend shanks.

Alvida grew into a beautiful woman now being 21, standing at 5'8" she wore only tight pink jeans that hugged her frame with a sash around her waist, a bikini top that was a size too small to accentuate her Double D size breasts and a purple captain's coat ( canon outfit) on her back she carried around a giant mace.

Leona was the shortest of the three standing at 5'6" she wore white tank top that showed off her figure with large C- cup breasts, over the tank top she wore a black blouse unbuttoned. She wore a black mini skirt that stopped about mid thigh and for shoes she wore gladiator sandals. On her waist there were two pistols and on her back was a rifle. ( she and usopp will act as long range support for the crew for the first part until I add more crew )

"Well the boat is all prepared and ready to set sail you guys" a local fisherman said. The boat in question was a large fishing boat able to carry 8 people on it with a sleeping quarters.

Makino came forward with tears in her eyes and hugged her two daughters like the devil was trying to take them from her. The girls just smile and hug their adoptive mother tightly. Eventually Makino lets go of the girls and moves towards Luffy a stern gaze no on her face as she looks at him.

"Now listen here Luffy-kun, you promise me you will keep my daughter's safe okay" Makino says to him. Luffy just stares a her before smiling at her.

"Don't worry so much Makino, I would never let anything hurt those girls they are my precious nakama shishishishi" Luffy says and smiles a big bright smile causing the girls in question to blush, though it went unnoticed by Luffy almost every one else saw it and was not surprised. It was a well known secret around the village that Alvida and Leona had a crush on Luffy, It as an even bigger known secret that there was pool on when Luffy realizes it and who he asks out and when.

Makino hearing this smiles and gives Luffy a hug after a minute she lets him go. She thinks of watching the little boy who used to scream at the top of his lungs that he as going to be the pirate king turn into the handsome young man he is today, of course he was still Luffy wild and untamable and at times childlike, but that was what makes him Luffy.

"Alright you three you should have enough food, water and alcohol to last you a week and a half even with Luffy-kuns stomach" Makino says to them and at the comment on Luffys appetite everyone laughs.

"Luffy! What are you doing. Becoming a pirate will bring great shame to our island." the old mayor Woop Slap says. Luffy just ignores him and continues to stare at the sea in excitement and wonder he places his hand on top of his hat and thinks

( Shanks, it's time I come to your world.)

"Hey Luffy lets go, the world needs to see my beauty" Alvida says a smirk on her face as she poses. Everyone laughs at this use to her antics. Luffy smiles at her.

"Alright I just have to go collect the stuff I have in my secret spot be back in a few." Luffy says and with that he disappears in a bolt of lightning.

-Outside the town, forest-

In the forest near the town there was a dead hollow out tree that Luffy used to store important items, one such item being the other devil fruit that fell from the sky and changed his life forever he bought a chest to hold it. The other items were as listed a book of devil fruit descriptions and abilities, a suitcase holding about 5,000,000 beri in it a picture of a young Luffy, Alvida and Leona with two boys about the same age as Alvida all smiling. The last item was a katana the scabbard was a crimson red color red, like it was dyed in blood. On the scabbard were black flower petals. This blade was Shodai Kitetsu, the cursed blade. Luffy was the only one that could use the blade without being killed. After securing the Kitetsu to his waist with his other katana and disappears in a flash of lightning.

-Town docks -

Luffy reappeared on the dock with the items in hand and places the devil fruit chest in the boat in the sleeping quarters. He walks out and smiles at the people on the docks.

"Alright, crew time to set sail, ready for an adventure" Luffy asks.

"YEAH!" both girls cheer. They board the small vessel and start to sail off into the sea.

Makino goes over to the mayor who is still grumbling about the reputation of the village.

"Oh come now mayor, you can't be surprised pirate king is his dream" Makino says. The mayor just sighs and gets this serious look on his face.

"His dream or his destiny" the mayor replies cryptically.

"Guys look out behind you" one of the villagers shouted to them. Makino and the mayor turn to see what he was yelling about and saw the most feared creature around the island, the lord of the coast. A giant sea king in the shape of a sea serpent. At seeing this the villagers freaked out.

On the boat -

Luffy turns to see the beast before him and just smiles at it. Alvida and Leona just stay calm not even worried about the beast.

"Shishishishishi you will make a good warm up for what is to come our way on the seas." Luffy says as he takes the pistol from his waist and in his other hand forms a small concentrated orb of lightning about the size of a musket ball and inserts it into the pistol and pulls the hammer back. Luffy points the pistol at the seaking and pulls the trigger, what happens shocks almost everyone. A large blast of lightning fires from the gun, disintegrating the lord of the coast into dust. Luffy took the pistol and put it back on his waist as the boat continued to sail away from the island.

(time skip) 3 hours later

Luffy and his crew of two were sitting on deck relaxing, Luffy taking a nap near the edge of the boat. Alvida was tanning and Leona was doing maintenance on her weapons. Leona hearing the sound of water churning at a fast rate looks up and at the sea and sees a giant whirlpool near them and they to be being pulled into.

"Luffy there's a whirlpool and we seem to being pulled into it" Leona says to her captain. Hearing Luffy drowsily sits up and points his hand towards the whirlpool and fires off a blast of lightning from his hands to push the boat away from the whirlpool, unfortunately because of Luffys sleepiness when the boat shook from the push he and a barrel of food fell of the boat. Luffy quickly jumps into the barrel and yells at the top of his lungs.

"I'll be alright just search the area around to find me kay girls"

The girls shout back there confirmation knowing that it takes more than a whirlpool to kill Luffy. And with that the whirlpool sucks the barrel under the water.

(time skip) thirty minutes

On the other side of the whirlpool was a cruise ship full of the wealthy men and women of east blue and a certain orange haired beauty. On the deck two crewmen saw a barrel in the ocean and decide to bring it a board thinking it as booze. When they get it on deck they were going to open it to have a taste but they're stopped as cannon fire went off they look and see a pirate ship with the jolly roger being a shield in front of cross bones.

"Oh crap its "steel shield" Jack" one of the crew mates said. he steps back and hits the barrel knocking it over and it rolling down the stairs into the pantry.

5 minutes later.

A boy about the age of 14 entered the pantry looking for a place to hide from the fighting.

"Hello? Anyone in here?" the young boy calls out. Seeing nothing but food stock and the big barrel in the room he relaxes. He move towards the barrel and looks at it.

"Wow this barrels is really big must be full of something, I'll take it back to the ship maybe get on the captain's good side" And with that idea in mind the boy starts to push the barrel back up the stairs to get it off of the cruise ship and on the pirate ship. As he was pushing three pirates came into the room and saw the boy and smirks.

"Well, well, well, coby what do we have here you trying to get out of the fighting like the weakling you are huh" one of the pirates said and the other two laugh at that like it as the funniest joke in the world.

"No, I found this heavy barrel and was trying to get it to the ship" The now named Coby says. Hearing this the three pirates get an idea on what's in the barrel.

"It is probably booze, good cause I'm thirsty" The pirate says as he props the barrel up. Coby hearing this starts to panic.

"You can't if Captain Jack finds out we will all be in big trouble" Coby says to the three.

"Well he better not find out or else" The pirate says in a threatening manner. He raises his fist to bust off the top of the barrel to gain access to the content. Before he could do that the barrel burst open and out came Luffy. In addition Luffy hit the man in the face knocking him out.

"AHHH what a great nap." Luffy then noticed that where he was and saw the man on floor.

"You know the floor is not the best place to take a nap, Right?" Luffy asks unaware of what he did.

"YOU DID THAT IDIOT" The other two pirates yelled. Luffy just Ignored the two men and turned to Coby asking him if he had food. The two pirates did not like being ignored by the man in front of them, reached for their swords with the aim of beheading Luffy. Luffy without looking punch the two men into the wall causing them to get stuck in the wall.

(Time skip) the rest of the interactions with Coby are going to be like the canon and I don't feel like typing it.

After their conversation Luffy starts to head on to the deck to see if he could find Alvida and Leona around the area. Coby was following him telling him it's not safe to go out there. When he gets on deck he see a tall man standing a 7' tall with a giant shield on his back holding a fruit and Luffy's eyes popped as he recognized it as a devil fruit. The fruit was about the size of a cantaloupe, was purple in color and had a swirl like skin pattern.

( Could it be what I think that is) Luffy thought. Not willing to take it up up to chance he starts to approach the human giant at a slow pace. As he approaches he hears that the giant is saying.

"What kind of fruit is this, I never seen one like this before. Is it even edible" the pirate Captain Jack said.

"It's a devil fruit one of the rarest and greatest treasures on the sea" Luffy spoke gaining the attention of everyone on the deck. Everyone was shocked that he got so close without anyone noticing.

"Really I've never seen one before, thought they were myths" Jack said and then realizes he does not recognize who this person is.

"Who are you boy, I don't recognize you from my crew and you are obviously not from the cruise the way you are dressed" Jack asks. Luffy just smiles and before anyone can blink jack was sent flying and luffy was standing where jack was originally holding the devil fruit in his right hand while his left was out straight in a fist.

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy and I am a pirate." Luffy said to all the people on deck.

"Luffy what have you done. He is going to kill you" Coby said in a panic voice. Jack hearing Coby call Luffy by his name glares at the boy in anger.

"Coby did you hire this man to kill me" Jack says in furious tone.

"N. N. No. no I didn't captain Jack, I would never do that. " Coby replies back trying to make sure that his anger was not focused on him.

"What are you talking about Coby. Didn't you say you wanted to become a marine someday and arrest Jack."Luffy says not really thinking about it. Hearing this Jack becomes even more angry.

"Oh really good luck doing that when you are dead, if you wanted me dead you should of hired the pirate hunter." Jack yells as he takes the shield off his back and throws it at Coby.

Coby was paralyzed in his track and incapable of moving. As it grew closer Coby saw his life flash before his eyes.

Whoosh

CRASH

Coby opened his eye to see he was still alive and was standing next to Luffy. He was shocked at how he was still alive.

"Oi Jack next time you try to kill a friend of mine I will fry you." Luffy said with a glare that would scare the sea devil himself. Unfortunatly for Jack he is dumber than a rock.

"Oh yeah pipsqueak well bring me all your female friends and I'll show them what a man is" Jack said in a lecherous grin on his face. This pissed off Luffy even more. Luffy was so pissed that sparks started to fly off him erratically.

"Coby stay away, this is about to get deadly" luffy said and starts to walking towards Jack. He continues even though he sees the crew of Jack start to surround him and charge him with their weapons he just continues to walk. As they were right on top of him luffy swung his arm out in a horizontal arc.

"shock wave" Luffy calls out camly. A stream of lightning surrounds him electrocuting the crew and knocking them unconscious and continuing to walk towards Jack.

"What the hell are you" Jack asked in a scared tone after watching almost his whole crew beaten by a single man.

"I am a devil fruit user, I ate the logia type devil fruit, the Rumble Rumble fruit. I am a lightning man and now your executioner. I told you I would fry you if you threatened a friend of mine again and I always stay true to my word." Luffy says, the tone so icy and cold it froze everyone in place.

"No. no please I take it back. I swear to never harm another living soul again just please let me live" Jack begged for his life.

"I don't think so, you see I am laid back person and don't enjoy killing but you threatened my nakama with that comment and now I will use you as an example of what happens when you threaten my friends like that." Luffy says and raises his hand up into the air. he fires a large bolt of lightning into atmosphere

"Gods Judgment" Luffy calls out. The sky turns dark and gigantic lightning bolt strikes down and hits Jack. A flash of light blinds everyone except Luffy. Jack lets out a scream of pain when this attacks light fades showing Jack burnt body, Jacks body falls to the ground lifeless.

"Oi Luffy, what's with the spark show going on" A voice shouts from the side of the boat when Luffy looks over toward where the voice came from he saw Leona and Alvida sitting on the edge of the boat with a bored look on there faces.

"Nothing just erasing garbage from the world" Luffy responds cooly.

"For you to call someone trash, they must have pissed you off real good" Leona says as if she was talking about the weather.

"Yeah he threatened you to unknowingly and for that his judgment was death"Luffy responds. This causes the girls to blush lightly.

( He's always thinking of us) both girls think with a smile on their face.

The girls were brought out of their musings by the sound of cannon fire going off and a cannon ball hitting the pirate ship next to the cruise ship. Looking to see who is firing they see a marine battleship on the starboard side.

"Shit it's the marines. Let's get out of here guys" Luffy says as he picks Coby up in his free hand and carries him to the the side of the ship while his other hand carries the devil fruit.

"Why are we running the marines are the good guys?" Coby asks Luffy with confusion in his voice.

"Simple. I'm a pirate remember" Luffy says and jumps down onto the fishing boat they were using and said.

"Set sail crew" Luffy says. And his response was a quick yeah before they took off.

(time skip) hour later

After the area and getting away from the marines the crew of the small fishing boat sat down to relax. It also gave Alvida a chance to ask a question that was on her mind.

"Oi luffy, what is up with the devil fruit in your hand"

"Oh this was apparently on the cruise ship and when I saw it I thought I recognized from the devil fruit archive I have and if it is what I think it is, I will not risk it falling into enemy hands" Luffy says seriously.

"Really is it some super strong devil fruit" Leona asks him and luffy chuckled finding it funny.

"In a sense it is. This is the Gum-Gum fruit. Who ever eats it turns into a rubber person and in the hands of one of our enemies it could beat me" Luffy says getting a shocked look from the two girls.

"How " Both girls ask simultaneously and luffy chuckles again finding them cute speaking unison.

" because rubber isn't affected by lightning." and with that the girls understand.

" So Coby where is the closest marine base" Cuffy asks. Coby stops to think for a moment.

"Theres one in Shells Town on an island not far from here" Coby says.

"Alright Alvida set sail for shell town" Luffy commands with a smile.

"Aye aye Captain" Alvida says and takes out a map of the east blue and changes the ship's direction for Shells Town.
