(Revision) - February 25, 2023
Wealth, Strength, Power
The man who owns it all is the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. His words before his death carried people out to sea.
'My treasure? If you want it, search, I left everything in that place'
Now is the Dai Kaizoku Jidai (Great Pirate Age)
East Blue
The East Blue is one of the four seas that surround the Grand Line. East Blue is the most peaceful of all the oceans that exist. As a result, this ocean became the weakest sea among all the seas, even so, there were many famous people who came from the East Blue.
Gol D. Roger is the man who managed to conquer all the seas and achieve feats that have never been achieved before, he is the Pirate King. Monkey D. Garp is a rival of Roger as well as Vice Admiral of the Marines and is nicknamed the Hero of the Marines. Monkey D. Dragon is the founder of an organization that directly opposes the world government, namely the Revolutionary Army and is branded the world's most wanted man.
Kingdom of Goa
The Kingdom of Goa is one of several kingdoms in East Blue. This kingdom is known as the cleanest kingdom in the world, even though its name is a kingdom, there is only one city on this island which also doubles as the royal capital which is only inhabited by nobles.
Currently, a black-haired boy was walking in a dark and narrow alley and looked scary. The boy's name is Monkey D. Luffy, he is the grandson of Monkey D. Garp who is a marine hero and vice admiral of the marines.
Luffy who was only 6 years old was thrown into the abyss which took three days and three nights to get to the bottom as a guise of training from his grandfather.
'Grandfather is really evil, I can't find any food in this place' thought Luffy sullenly. He was starving, he had been looking for frogs, snakes or even worms in the ground to eat, but he could not find any food. He was really hungry right now, moreover he had not eaten for two days.
'Haah' Luffy sighed, he kicked the glass bottle that was on the ground, unfortunately his kick missed, he slipped, moreover he was on a downward slope.
'NO! TOOK ME TWO DAYS TO UP! I DON'T WANT TO DOWN AGAIN' thought Luffy as he was rolling down. His little hands tried to reach for anything he could use to keep himself from falling.
CRAPP
Either by coincidence or by luck, Luffy managed to keep himself from falling by grabbing a root that was emerging from the cliff wall.
'ITTAI' thought Luffy. His body was covered in fresh scars and bruises.
KRYUUK
His stomach growled demanding to be fed. Luffy's tiny hand was shaking with pain, tiredness and hunger.
Again, be it coincidence or luck, on the side of the cliff where he was holding hands he saw a strange fruit, the fruit he had never seen before, but food is food whatever its form, he tried to reach the fruit, of course it took a lot of effort for him to reach the side. that abyss.
HAPP
Luffy got the fruit, he immediately ate it, it tasted weird, but then again, food is food.
JLEBB
"Eh...?"
Luffy was surprised because his grip slipped from the root and rolled down right when he ate all of the fruit.
"AAAAAA"
Luffy screamed as he was forced to roll back to the bottom of the cliff.
At the bottom of the cliff after a few minutes, he passed out from the pain and fatigue he was feeling. Without realizing it, his body was shining, suddenly all the plants at the bottom of the ravine withered and crumbled, their life energy entered Luffy's body which miraculously healed all his fatigue and wounds.
10 Years Later
Now, A pirate ship is hijacking a cruise ship. That pirate is Pirate Alvida, a female pirate with a bounty of 5 million Berri.
"Don't leave any" said a fat woman. She is Alvida.
"Coby, Who is the most beautiful woman in this ocean?" she asked. Alvida is a self-confessed coping woman who thinks of herself as the most beautiful woman in the world to cover up her embarrassment because she has a fat body and freckles.
"O.. Of course you are, Mrs. Alvida," said a pink-haired boy, he was Coby. Coby is a cabin boy with a thin and short stature. He was accidentally caught by Alvida and her crew while fishing.
Alvida's pirates continue to rob the yacht.
"It looks like you guys are having fun" said a teenager with messy black hair. He was wearing a black Yukata.
"Who are you?" asked Alvida who was surprised, although inside she was drooling when she saw the teenager. The teenager was unmistakably very handsome, his body was also muscular if she saw his cleavage which was visible from the meeting between the two sides of his Yukata.
"Me? My name is Monkey D. Luffy, nice to meet you, mini whale" said Luffy which made Alvida angry, the whole Alvida crew including Coby turned pale.
"You... How dare you insult me" said Alvida, she started attacking Luffy with her mace. Surprisingly, Alvida's mace only penetrated Luffy's body which surprised Alvida, not only him, the whole crew was also shocked.
"I see, you ate a devil fruit?" said Alvida.
"Devil Fruit?" asked Alvida's crew did not understand.
"Hmmm... Devil fruit is a fruit that gives its eater extraordinary powers, some can control the weather, create earthquakes and such" said Alvida.
"For a mini whale that looks stupid, you sure are quite knowledgeable" said Luffy praising Alvida. Normally a compliment from a handsome man would make Alvida blush, but the boy before her had the audacity to insult her, she would have no mercy for the teenage boy in front of her.
"Don't insult me you son of a bitch, eat devil fruit or not, don't think you can get away with insulting me" said Alvida.
Luffy just sighed, don't you know that everything he did was in vain, why didn't he stop and just go.
"Hollow Slap"
Suddenly, a translucent white hand appeared and slapped Alvida with all her might causing the chubby woman to fly away.
"You.. Are you good at navigation?" asked Luffy suddenly to Coby.
"I'm kinda good at navigating" Coby said honestly.
"Good... You will come with me, I want you to take me to Shell City" said Luffy which surprised Coby.
'Running from one pirate only to be caught by another? Damn I' thought Coby, but he nodded. He has seen Luffy-san's power, he is clearly much stronger than Alvida, he will be devastated if he refuses Luffy-san.
"Good... Let's go" said Luffy inviting Coby to board his ship.
Luffy's ship is actually a ship covered in iron at the bottom. Luffy made this ship with the help of the people he controlled with his Akuma no Mi.
"Luffy-san, you said that you ate the Akuma no Mi. Which Akuma no Mi did you eat?" asked Coby, he directed the ship to Shell Town, it turned out that Luffy wanted to recruit the famous pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro to be his crew.
"I ate Astra Astra no Mi which allows me to manipulate astral energy" said Luffy which made Coby shudder, don't tell me that the hand that slapped Alvida earlier was a ghost's hand that belongs to astral energy?
They finally arrived at Shell Town after an hour of sailing.
Shell Town
Shell Town is a small town located in East Blue, this town has a marine base. The Marine Captain of the Base in this town is Captain Morgan who is known as the Axe-Hand Morgan because one of his hands is an axe.
"So this is Shell Town? I wonder where Zoro is" said Luffy who set foot in the small town which scared the residents.
"Why are they even afraid? Wouldn't Captain Morgan in this town protect them?" asked Coby confused which made the residents run away with frightened faces that made the pink haired boy even more worried.
"Do you think just because Morgan is a Marine he is a good person?" asked Luffy to which Coby nodded.
"There is no black and white in this world, Coby. People who look good can have a rotten heart, and vice versa," said Luffy.
Luffy and Coby walk to the marine base.
"WOAA... Look at him, it looks like he's Roronoa Zoro" said Luffy. Zoro is a man with short green hair, he has an earring in his left ear. He was tied to a stake under the hot sun.
"But how is this possible? Criminals who have been arrested should be locked up in prison, not put in the middle of a field" Coby said in disbelief, he was angry at the negligence of the marines on this island, this was not punishment, this was more like torture, justice officials should not act like This.
Beside them, a kid sneaked into the base and gave Zoro the Onigiri he made.
"Go away, you're just a nuisance" said Zoro, his voice hoarse from the thirst he felt.
"Don't be like that Aniki, you haven't eaten or drank for three weeks for saving me" said the little girl
"I didn't save me, that stupid dog just prevented me from eating" said Zoro.
"If it wasn't for you, mom and I would have died because of that wolf" said the girl.
"WHO ARE YOU TO DARE TO FEED PRISONER MARINES, BOY?" shouted a thin teenager with blond hair. He is Helmeppo, son of Captain Morgan.
"Hmmm.. Looks like you made Onigiri" said Helmeppo taking the Onigiri and eating it, he suddenly spat it out.
"Disgusting, Why does it taste sweet like this"
"Thought it would taste better with sugar than salt"
"Onigiri should have salt, not sugar, you moron" shouted Helmeppo.
"Hoi, Throw the child out the gate" said Helmeppo.
"But, Helmeppo-san, she is still little" replied a marine who escorted Helmeppo.
"Do you want to defy me, huh?" asked Helmeppo angrily which made the marine turn pale.
"Get down, it will lessen the pain" the Marine whispered to the little girl.
The marine threw the girl over the fence. Luffy saved her easily.
"How? How could a marine do this to a child? Are they really enforcers of justice?" asked Coby furiously.
"It seems they are too afraid of Morgan" said Luffy. The girl in his arms looked at him in awe.
"Are you all right, son?" he asked.
"Hmm.. Aniki, Thank you for helping me" said the girl.
"No problem. For now, let's go back to your place first" said Luffy putting the girl down.
The girl led Luffy and Coby to her mother's restaurant.
"Thank you for saving me earlier, Aniki-tachi. My name is Rika"
"Thank you for saving my daughter, Youth-san" said Mrs. Rika bowing to Luffy who waved his hand indicating that he didn't mind his previous help.
Before they could say anything, they were cut off by Helmeppo who entered with the Marines.
"Ah... Since I'm in a bad mood, I'll execute Zoro tomorrow" said Helmeppo which surprised everyone in the restaurant who was surprised.
"Didn't you promise to release Zoro-aniki if he could hold on for a month? There's still one week left for him to be free" Rika said, not accepting it.
"Why should I respect pirate hunters?" asked Helmeppo laughing out loud.
Luffy coated his hands with astral energy and knocked Helmeppo flying a hundred meters.
"You... You dare to beat me, I will tell my father to execute you too" said Helmeppo angrily, tears started to well up in his eyes. Luffy couldn't help but be amazed by that boy, even though he looked like a weak sissy, he was still conscious even though he had been beaten with an astral energy fist by Luffy, even a pirate named Bluejam that Luffy had met as a child who unfortunately met him again two years ago in the Kingdom of Goa fainted because of one of his blows.
"You think I'm afraid of your cowardly father? I'm a pirate who will become the Pirate King, lowly Marines like your father are not strong enough to face me, I will end your father's life if he disturbs me" said Luffy not caring. He went to where Zoro was being held.
"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, join my pirate crew" said Luffy when he arrived in front of Zoro.
"What? No, I have no interest in being a villain".
"Aren't you already known as a criminal, after all it's useless for you to die here, don't you have a dream to achieve?" he asked.
"What do you mean die? I made a deal with the marines if I survive for a month without eating and drinking, they will set me free" said Zoro widening his eyes.
"He announced in the middle of the restaurant that he will execute you tomorrow" said Luffy.
"Damn brat!" Zoro growled.
"So, how? I will save you, in exchange, be my Crew" said Luffy which made Luffy squeal.
"Tsk... Alright, I'll be your crew, before that, get me my sword" said Zoro to which Luffy nodded.
Luffy suddenly flies up which surprises Zoro.
"How can you fly?" asked Zoro in disbelief.
"Hmmm, this? I ate Akuma no Mi, more precisely Astra Astra no Mi, I can manipulate astral energy or create it, I just turned myself into a ghost, voila, I can fly and penetrate anything" said Luffy which surprised Zoro.
Luffy flies through the marine base.
'Look for Zoro's swords' said Luffy to the ghosts he created, the ghosts nodded, they started to scatter around the base, some marines were shocked and scared, they reported to Captain Morgan who was on the roof.
"Captain Morgan, There's a group of ghosts showing up at the marine base" a marine said which made Morgan twitch with anger.
"Ghosts? Don't joke! There's no such thing as ghosts in this world" Morgan said angrily to his incompetent subordinates.
"Haaaa" the other marines stammered seeing a group of ghosts suddenly appear from below, several ghosts clung to the Morgan statue that was about to be erected, the ghosts then exploded and smashed the Morgan statue to pieces.
"MY STATUE! HOW DARE SOMEONE DESTROY MY STATUE! SEARCH! SEARCH THE ENTIRE BASE, SOMEBODY DEFINITELY DOES THIS" yelled Morgan angrily which made his marines stutter and immediately scattered to find Luffy who was the one who created the ghosts.
"That's me" said Luffy amused who witnessed everything, in his hands were three swords that he took from the all pink room, to be honest he wanted to vomit seeing that room, too feminine for his taste.
"How can he fly?" asked a marine.
"You must have eaten a devil fruit!" said Morgan angrily.
"I do, But that's the point, I can't let you guys go any further, Hollow Trap" said Luffy, suddenly small ghosts appeared from his hands like ghosts that had blown up Morgan's statue.
The mini ghosts stuck to the bodies of all the Marines including Morgan's body, they of course tried to get rid of the ghosts, but they couldn't touch them. Luffy spread all the marines that were stuck with his ghosts to all corners of the marine base.
'CLACK'
DUARRR
With a snap of his finger, the entire ghost exploded. Of course, the entire marine that the ghost was attached to was seriously injured. The explosion caused the marine base to collapse unable to take the damage any longer.
"Yeah, great" said Luffy who had arrived in front of Zoro who was gaping at him blowing up the marine base with just a snap of his finger.
'Just how strong is this person really?' thought Zoro.
"I don't know which sword is yours, so I brought the three swords that were in the boy's room" said Luffy.
"Those three are mine, I'm a Santoryuu cult user" Zoro said to Luffy who cut the rope that tied Zoro to the stake with the knife he had.
"Amazing" said Luffy.
"Good... Now we will go" said Luffy. He created ghosts to take Zoro to Rika's mother's restaurant.
Zoro then took a shower in the restaurant that doubled as the house.
"Anoo... Luffy-san" Coby said to Luffy who was eating, the celebration was going on because the marines who terrorized their town had been destroyed, that's true, only Morgan and Helmeppo were terrorizing their town, but the marines didn't do anything what are you guilty of?
"What's wrong, Coby?" he asked.
"After seeing today's events, I thought I would give up my intention of becoming an admiral of the marines, I thought the marine system was broken to the point that marines who were supposed to protect civilians instead terrorized civilians and got away with it, I thought I could do more by becoming a pirate. sea, can I join your crew, Luffy-san?" said Coby.
"Are you sure, Coby? What about your goals?" he asked.
"I'm pretty sure, Luffy-san. Instead of being a marine doing nothing and turning a blind eye to the crimes that other marines commit, I'd rather do the real crime, I don't want to be a hypocrite, most likely I can't change the system that is been around for hundreds of years" Coby said.
"Okay, you can join my crew" said Luffy to which Coby nodded his thanks.
They participated in a party held by the townspeople.
The next day
"Are you guys really leaving now, Aniki?" asked Rika who began to bond with Luffy and his crew.
"Yeah, We have to go now" said Luffy.
"Luffy-san, This is the little help we can give you, we apologize because this is all we can give you" said the Mayor of Shell Town.
"No problem, thank you for your gifts" said Luffy.
The Straw Hat Crew departed with the 10 m x 20 m ship. For some reason, the sky seemed to bless their departure with cloudy, sunny weather so they didn't feel the heat.
Blue's
Blue's is the name of the ship that Luffy and his crew own. This ship has three bedrooms namely a room for the captain, rooms for the male crew and rooms for the female crew, this ship also has one kitchen, one bathroom and one warehouse. The may not seem as strong, but the s that Luffy uses are coated with Kairou Seki iron and paint that Luffy stole from some noble house in East Blue making it impossible for water to enter the ship from the bottom of the ship.
This ship also has a mini farm. There was a cow, two goats and ten laying hens, as well as green beans, tomatoes, lettuce, grapes and cucumbers. There is also an aquarium filled with fish and squid. Everything is food and drink ingredients that can be consumed so that the crew doesn't need to be bothered when they are at sea for a long time.
"Okay, my target, before you enter the Grand Line, each of you should be able to use the basics of Haki" said Luffy announcing once the island was out of sight.
"Haki?" asked Zoro interested.
"Yes... Haki is a latent power in humans, but often to death, humans don't realize it... There are three types of Haki, but only two can be obtained through training. The first Haki is Kenbunshoku which allows the user to read the next move, different from the prediction which has the possibility of being wrong, the movement that appears is the same as the image the user sees in his second Haki is Busoshoku which allows the user to condense their willpower to attack, attacks become stronger and even allows the user to attack logia type devil fruit users that feels invincible. The third Haki is Haoshoku which allows the user to stun and even kill other people with just his will, this is a haki that cannot be obtained through training because this haki is only owned by those who have the potential to become a king, "said Luffy.
"I'll teach you Kenbunshoku first, because it's important for you to dodge attacks when you can't defend against attacks" said Luffy.
Luffy then trains his two new crew members. He ordered Zoro and Coby to wear blindfolds, while he will attack with astral energy from a distance.
That day they spent practicing on the ship, between Zoro and Coby, Zoro was the one who was able to learn the basics of Haki faster because of his instincts, but Coby was not a slow student. Luffy stared at the ocean.
'They have to be strong enough to face the vice admiral of the marines if they want to survive in this ocean' thought Luffy.
"Where are we going, Luffy-san?" asked Coby as soon as he finished practicing. Between Zoro and Coby, it is Coby who needs the most help, mostly because Coby's body is too thin so he has almost no stamina for further training, so this training is focused on building Coby's stamina first.
"I want to recruit a chef first, I heard Baratie is a restaurant that has talented sea chefs" said Luffy.
"Baratie... If I'm not mistaken, this week's Baratie location is near the island of Tor" said Coby.
"Point the ship over there, Coby" said Luffy to which Coby nodded.
The Baratie that became the topic of their conversation was the Marine Restaurant owned by Zeff, a former pirate who had sailed the Grand Line. He is known as Zeff the Red Leg.
"Hoo .. Look at them, three kids playing pirates" said a pirate who appeared with his ship.
"Children, loot them" said the steel captain. that sea
"Hmm... They will be good training targets, go ahead Coby, Zoro" said Luffy.
"Ok/Ha'i"
Luffy's two crew members display the skills they've learned over the past few days.
Baratie
Three days later they finally arrived at a ship with a head shaped like a fish, that ship was the Baratie, a Marine Restaurant that sailed the seas of the East Blue.
"We'll reserve seats" said Luffy as soon as he arrived at the Baratie.
"Do you guys have any money?" asked a bald man with oddly shaped hands, he was Patty, one of the chefs at Baratie.
"Yes" said Luffy briefly.
"Then come in please, Customer-san" Patty said directing the three straw hat pirates to a table with three chairs.
"What would you like to order?" she asked.
"I want to order Takoyaki, Grilled Meat with Cheese, drink orange juice" said Luffy.
"I'll just toast, drink cold water" Coby said
"I'm grilled ribs, my drink is sake" Zoro said
Patty took the orders of the three of them and took the notes to the kitchen to be made.
Luffy secretly watches over the chefs, he wants to recruit one chef who is able to fight and make delicious food as his crew.
BUKK
"Sanji... What are you doing, stupid boy?" asked an old man in a top hat. This is Zeff. Zeff is an old man with a distinctive beard, his chef's hat is so tall it's hard to miss.
"He dares to insult food and waste food" said the man with blond hair and curly eyebrows whom he called Sanji.
'Hmmm... Looks like besides being good at cooking, he can also fight' thought Luffy, he did see Sanji's kickmanship skills when Sanji beat up a man who started insulting and destroying the food he was serving.
"Tsk... Go bastard" said Sanji to the two men who insulted his cooking which made both of them immediately run screaming.
Luffy grinned happily, it seemed like he had found their chef.
After eating, Luffy created a ghost to tell Zeff that he wanted to meet with Zeff in a personal conversation, he dissolved the ghost before someone saw him.
"So why do you want to talk to me personally, boy?" asked Zeff.
"I want to recruit chefs, I see your blonde chefs good at cooking and fighting, I want to recruit him," Luffy said directly.
"You can take the boy, but I tell you, he is a stubborn boy," said Zeff who was nodded by Luffy. Zeff in his heart was shocked and happy, he wanted the naughty boy to take Sanji and go to achieve his dream, however Sanji shared his dream with him to find all blue.
It began Luffy's struggle to recruit Sanji.
Third Day of the Crew at Baratie
DUARR
Everyone in the Baratie including the customers and the chefs were shocked by a cannonball that hit the Baratie and blew up the side of the ship.
"KYAAA"
The customers ran screaming in surprise.
"GYAHAHAHAHAHA... This ship is being held captive by the Don Krieg Pirates. Chefs, you will be the errand boy on my ship" said the man covered in gold lining, he is Don Krieg, Captain of the Don Krieg Fleet, Fleet of 5000 people who will go to Grand Line in a few months.
"You'd better surrender or my 5000 men will end your lives" said Don Krieg boasting himself. He felt the chefs would not be able to beat them.
"Nee... old man, if I beat them, I'll take that curly-browed chef as my crew" said Luffy.
"Hoi... I'm not an object" protested Sanji did not accept it.
"You can take that rancid boy" said Zeff.
"hoi"
Sanji's protest was ignored by the two men.
"A naughty boy like you wants to beat us? Don't be cocky, Gaki" shouted Don Krieg, he had already pointed his guns at the chefs.
"How stupid" said Luffy.
"Astral Barrier"
A barrier made of astral energy suddenly formed blocking Krieg's attacks from attacking them.
"Hollow Trap"
A group of ghosts spreads around them which scares the sea chefs except for Zeff who already knows that the ghosts are the power of the Akuma no Mi.
"What power is that?" asked Sanji in disbelief.
"This must be Akuma no Mi" said Zeff.
"Akuma no Mi?" asked Sanji, he didn't know anything about Akuma no Mi even though he used to come from Vinsmoke, mostly because he lived in prison before.
"Akuma no Mi is a treasure of the sea, people who eat it will get extraordinary powers that are beyond human imagination, there are people who can control fire, there are people who can control earthquakes, there are even those who can control stars, and many more the strength of the Akuma no Mi is unknown. Surely that boy ate one of the Akuma no Mi," Zeff explained, which surprised the chefs that such a fruit actually existed.
"What is this? What are these ghosts?" shouted Don Krieg's pirates.
DUARR
The ghosts that Luffy pinned to Don Krieg's pirate fleet ship explode causing them to sink. Several pirates have descended on the Baratie.
"Zoro, Coby, beat them" said Luffy which his two crew immediately did.
Sanji doesn't want to be left behind, Baratie is his home, he doesn't want to depend on others to defend his home, he will protect his home.
BUKK BUKK BUKK
Within minutes, Don Krieg's pirate fleet was destroyed which infuriated the gold plated man.
"Leave it to me, Captain, this Pearl will defeat the enemy for you" said the fat man wearing armor lining his bare belly. She is Pearl, one of the commanders of Don Krieg's pirate fleet.
"Just leave them to us, Don" said a man who looked sleep deprived. He is Gin, he is the vice-captain of Don Krieg's pirate fleet.
"That's right, there are still you guys, attack them" Don Krieg ordered his two men.
"You won't be able to attack me that easily" said Pearl arrogantly, but she was easily kicked by Sanji in the head until he fainted.
Meanwhile, Gin puts up a good fight against Zoro.
'Hooo... Interesting' thought Luffy glancing at Gin's skill against Zoro.
"Where are you looking, boy?" asked Don Krieg who appeared behind Luffy.
Luffy only brought up his sword to block Don Krieg's spear.
Luffy's sword may look like an ordinary sword, but it is actually a soul sword, a Zanpakuutou.
"Keep your head up, Wabisuke" said Luffy.
Suddenly Luffy's sword head bent which made Don Krieg laugh out loud.
"Do you think you can beat me with a sword like that? Don't be kidding" said Don Krief, he immediately prepared his position, but before he could attack, Luffy had attacked first. Luffy smashed Wabisuke into Don Krieg's body.
Damn brat, do you really not know how to use a sword? asked Don Krieg, he tried to dodge Luffy's attack, but unfortunately his armor slowed him down. Luffy smashed Wabisuke into Don Krieg's body many times.
"Done" said Luffy which made Don Krieg even angrier seeing how much Luffy underestimated him.
"W-"
BRAKK
Don Krieg suddenly fell to the floor, so heavy, he even made a hole in the floor.
"Wabisuke's power is increasing gravity every time he touches you, how many times have you touched Wabisuke?" said Luffy smiling amused.
"Not that I care about you" said Luffy, he grabbed Don Krieg's head, he punched Don Krieg with a hand coated with astral energy as hard as he could until Don Krieg flew hundreds of meters and sank into the ocean because he lost consciousness.
"Don" shouted Gin could not believe what he saw.
"Your name is Gin, right? My name is Monkey D. Luffy, The one who will become the king of pirates, Be my crew, I know Don Krieg's type, he will obviously throw you away if you lose here, he has thrown away his crew before, right?" Luffy asked making Gin silent, Don Krieg had indeed killed his crew which he thought were useless.
"Joining you? I'm your enemy, you know" asked Gin in disbelief.
"Yesterday's enemy, today's friend... After all, you only obey your captain's orders" said Luffy which made Gin silent. He thought about Luffy's offer for a few moments and then nodded as if agreeing with his own thoughts.
"Luffy, Let me introduce myself, My name is Gin, allow me to join your pirates" said Gin.
"I agree, Nice to meet you, Gin" said Luffy.
"Let's have a party" said Luffy which made Coby and Zoro respond enthusiastically.
"You didn't forget that you were in my restaurant, did you?" asked Zeff which made Luffy just chuckle innocently.
The party continued all night
"Sanji ... you better go with them," said Zeff, who made Sanji gaping. Zeff called Sanji to his room that night, the chefs and pirates were asleep because they were drunk except for Luffy who really liked the night and was on the roof watching the stars.
"I won't leave, old man, you can't drive me out," Sanji said angrily.
"Listen, Sanji, I'm old, but my dream remains the same, namely to find all blue, I can no longer wade through the grand line at my age now, but you are still young, you share the same dream as me, I want you to represent me to find all all Blue, you won't be able to find all blue if you stay here, "said Zeff.
Sanji was silent.
"Give me a few days," said Sanji finally. He has been exhausted by rejecting Luffy's offer for three days, but here, the owner of Zeff even told him to leave, if he left, what about his debt to Zeff? Sanji fell asleep in his mind.
"I will accept your offer," Sanji said to Luffy who made Luffy laugh cheerfully.
"Good ..." said Luffy who made Sanji smile a little.
"I'll go" Sanji said to Zeff roughly.
"Be careful, boy, don't get to the fever," said Zeff, who made Sanji cry.
"Uwaaaaaaa ... Owner Zeff, thank you for everything, I will find all blue," said Sanji in the middle of his cry that made Zeff shed tears a little.
"Stupid boy, a man does not part by crying" Zeff whispered to the wind while staring at the figure of Sanji who slowly moved away from the ship.
Blue's
"Sanji, Gin... We will start your training" said Luffy once they were away from Baratie.
"Training?" asked Sanji.
"Yeah... the Grand Line is filled with strong people, even if they don't have the Akuma no Mi, I want you to be strong enough to protect yourself" said Luffy.
Luffy then teaches Haki to his new chef and new crew.
"Where are we headed next, Luffy-san?" Coby asked.
"We're going to Syrup Village, I want to recruit people there" said Luffy. He wanted to recruit Yasopp's son, whether he wanted to come or not would be a later matter.
