Fire Fist Luffy

Chapter 2: Passing of the Strawhat & Training

Luffy was wearing his usual jean shorts, sandals and "Anchor" shirt on talking with Makino inside Party's Bar.

"So Luffy do you miss him already?" Asked Makino while cleaning up the bar counter. Although she didn't get a response due to the sound of some unpleasant costumers coming in.

"Huh looks like we scared of those pirates." Said Higuma full of himself. "Hey bitch why don't you give us some sake before we tear this place down!" Said Higuma apparently more arrogant than usual.

"HEY YOU BASTARDS!" Screamed Luffy having lost his temper when he heard what Higuma said to Makino.

"YOU BETTER APOLOGIZE TO MAKINO AND LEAVE BEFORE I KICK YOUR ASS." Sneered Luffy. The look of anger in his eyes looked like he was gonna burst into flames. (Which he actually could now.)

"Tch what can you do brat." Said Higuma dismissing the thought of him being a threat since he was a child.

Luffy though about it for a second (which is RARE!)

'I can't use my fire powers or I might burn down the bar.'

Without a second thought he lunged at Higuma with a strong right.

Higuma stumbled back a fell he never imagined that brat punch to actually hurt much less knock him down.

Immediately the rest of the bandits grabbed Luffy stoping him from jumping on top of their leader.

Makino gasped as she ran to try to get to Luffy. Only for a bandit to pull out his saber, posing at Makino as he told her that he would kill if he tried anything.

Seeing the danger he put Makino in Luffy yelled "GET AWAY FROM HER!" While unconsciously awakening his Conquers Haki. Only Luffy, Makino and Higuma stayed conscious.

Makino gaped wide eyed at Luffy. Shanks and Garp had told her about this power 'Haki'. Each of them saying that Luffy had the potential of having the rarest kind.

She was shocked to say the least.

On the other Hand Higuma looked like he shitted him self. But he quickly recovered. He panicked and grabbed Makino with his word to her neck.

Makino eyes froze in fear. Shanks was at the port and maybe already set sail. Apart from him nobody but maybe Luffy could stand up to Higuma

When Luffy saw this he had a look of panic mixed with boiling anger. He was scared of what he would to her, and that it was his fault for run his mouth. But he was and completely furious that anyone dared to hurt someone precious to him.

Flashback

"Hey Shanks how come people are scared of pirates I'm not scared of you, all of you are good guys!" Said Luffy cheerily.

"Well anchor not all pirates or all people at that are good guys" replied Shanks.

"Oh" replied Luffy nodding knowingly although you never knew if he understood what you told him or not.

"So Shanks am I a good guy" asked Luffy in all seriousness which he rarely did.

His serious tone got the attention of all the bar to hear Shanks's response. "Well Luffy a good guy protects what's precious to him and never lets any body hurt or take what and who they hold precious to them" Shanks said " so we'll just have to see when you get older he finished giving Luffy a genuine smile.

"Then" said Luffy with a big grin "I'LL PROTECT EVERYONE IN YOUR CREW WHEN YOU TAKE ME OUT TO SEE WITH YOU!" Yelled Luffy with his 'shishishi' laugh.

Everyone else couldn't help but smile at him and chuckle for the response he gave. Shanks ended the moment by saying " Don't think just cause you ate a devil fruit your gonna be a great pirate"

"SHUT-UP JERK" Luffy yelled then just pouted

"Don't get so angry Luffy anyway I think you are gonna be a good guy when you grow up."

End of Flashback

While Luffy was in thought Higuma used this as a chance to escape there were more of his bandits outside to buy Higuma time to escape this 6 year old power house.

To bad for them as soon as Luffy was outside he used his devil fruit power that his grandpa had been training him with the past few weeks.

The bandits tried to ambush Luffy only for him to punch the air between him while saying 'Mera-Mera Fist'.

In the blink of an eye the bandits were all on the floor rolling in pain after getting hit by flames in the shape of a 6 year old fist.

An old man with all either hair and goatee wearing a black and yellow striped collar shirt, trousers and used a walking cane heard the commission and went outside his home.

"Mayor Woop Slap Help some bandits have Makino hostage!" Screamed an inhabitant of Windmill Village

By the time the mayor made it there the villagers surrounded 3 people. A scarred Higuma hold his saber to Makino's neck shaking. With Luffy giving him a look that would make grown men shit themselves.

"Let her go and I might just let you live." Said Luffy in a voice so cold you forgot he was a mere child.

"Go to hell you bastard!" Replied Higuma. He threw a smoke bomb and ran off. Luffy saw him moments later on small boat in the sea.

Quickly Luffy got another boat and rowed as fast as he could quickly catching up to Higuma and Makino.

He jumped up on the other boat, but as soon as he did Higuma pushed him of the boat and into the ocean.

Muffled sound mixed with gurgling was heard as Luffy started to sink. Since Higuma was distracted Makino pushed him off her and jumped in after Luffy.

Back on the boat Higuma looked like he was gonna shit himself for like the fifth time that day. He was frozen with wide eyes looking and the Lord of the Coast. A giant green serpent like sea king with red eyes fool of bloodlust.

Makino quickly got Luffy and swam back To the surface only to see Higuma get eaten in one gulp by the terrifying sea king.

Right after eating Higuma, the lord of the coast looked like he was about to puke by how horrible he tasted. But the thoughts instantly vanished as he saw Makino and Luffy.

The red haired pirates appeared soon after seeing that Luffy and Makino didn't come to see them off. They panicked when they saw Makino holding Luffy and about to be devoured by a see king. The pirates quickly ran to ocean but it was to late.

Makino and and Luffy were devoured by the sea king. JUST KIDDING!

As the monster lunged at Makino and Luffy, Luffy let out a small scream. "GET AWAY!" It wasn't the loudest he could scream but it made everything dead silent. As villages and there pets started falling unconscious.

The lord of the coast looked a bit scared. It stared at Luffy for a second and swam off. As it left Luffy could have sworn he heard the sea king say something.

Makino and everyone else at the docks was dumbfounded at what they just saw. Shanks just have a knowing smirk " Didn't imagine him to unlock it this early." He said. "Well that's Luffy for you said his First mate Ben Beckham.

A few minutes later

Woop Slap told all of the villagers to go back

Now it was only Luffy, Makino, and the pirates.

"Makino are you okay?" Asked a frantic Shanks.

"Yes, Luffy is too and he seems to have gotten stronger." Makino said with a giggle.

"Did you see Shanks I protected Makino so I'm a good guy jus like you said I'll be!" Said Luffy happy to see he made his idol proud.

"Yah Luffy I your not as much of a brat as I thought"said Shanks with a teasing smirk. But Luffy ignored it this time.

"So Shanks are you taking me to see with you now?" Asked Luffy.

"No sorry Luffy since you strong you have to stay here and protect Makino." Said Shanks in an unusual caring tone.

"Ah c'mon you need to help me train and we can even take Makino with us!" Said Luffy hoping to go to see with his idol.

"Hmm okay I have a deal for you I'll train you until your 17 along with Makino." Said Shanks.

"Really Shanks SUGE!" Said Luffy in his biggest grin yet.

"But" continued Shanks "we'll start in a year okay, Makino needs to stay on land for at least that time okay?"

"Whaaaa…okay!"Luffy said with a pout.

"I don't even want to join your crew anymore I'm gonna make my own crew were gonna SUPER strong and… and IM GONNA BE KING OF THE PIRATES!" Screamed Luffy with all his heart.

"Is that so." Said Shanks with a smile.

"Yep." Said Luffy nonchalantly

"Well then give this back when your king." Said Shanks as he gave Luffy his StrawHat.

Tears rolled down Luffys face as he saw his hero leave.

And so the next year Luffy protected Makino and made 2 new brothers but, that's for another time.

And 10 years later Luffy, Makino…and Roger? Get ready to set sail and make a crew that could even stand up to the Roger Pirates.
