'on the small boat'

"oi Luffy! How are you so strong and powerful yet you look weak and stupid?" Zoro asked Luffy still thinking about the event at the island they had been.

"Huh? I don't know either,i've been training for 10 years but it looks like i didn't gain anything on my physical side." Luffy replied but confused as well.

"it's just that i was amazed to seeing someone beat a captain-class marine with ease."Zoro said.

"yeah,but he was just weak,i didn't even 1% of my strength."

'WHAT!?How strong is this guy?' Zoro shouted in his thoughts.

"Hehehe!I know you have many questions so i'm just going to tell you what my power is." Luffy said interrupting Zoro in his mind.

"power?What kind of power?" Zoro asked curious to what his captain was going to say.

"I ate a devil fruit and that fruit was the gravity gravity no mi. It gives me the power to control all gravitational force in the world. So that's all you need to know for now, i'll explain the rest by showing you later." explained Luffy.

He then started to stand up going to the front of the boat startling Zoro from his sleep after the conversation. "Where are you going?" asked Zoro.

"I'm going ahead. Looks like my power's senses a great part of our crew, a navigator, and it appears that he/she is on that island. I'm going to try and recruit him/her to our crew." Luffy said.

"How can you sense something so far away and how can you sense them?" asked Zoro.

"Like I told you, I have control over all of gravity."

"So?"

"meaning i can sense anything ,anywhere,anytime using only gravity because the gravity connects us to the earth which i am able to do as well. Can you understand that?" Luffy waited for a response from his first mate who looked to have a serious face.

After awhile he then look at Luffy "yea, all of it." Zoro said with a straight face.

*sigh*... "Let me put it this way. The earth's gravity keeps all people, things and nature to the ground and everything is connected because of that. i am also like the earth's gravity, i can sense everyone and everything because everyone is connected. i assume you got all that." Luffy finished feeling relieved that Zoro got that one in his mind.

"Maybe a little but how are you going to reach the island from where we are now, where in the middle of the water, i mean you can't swim, right?" Zoro asked confused to what Luffy was going to do.

Luffy just gave him a wide but evil grin which made Zoro tremble a little, but then, out of nowhere *boom* a loud sonic boom left the boat swaying hard on the water and making Zoro deaf for 5 minutes after that Zoro just said in his mind 'oh, never mind but that wide smile of his gives me fear and torture at the same time, better not get to his bad side.' after that he saw what looked like Luffy with his grin still intact but as soon as Zoro put his hands on him it just went through like nothing was there. Zoro realized that, that was an after image of the sonic boom awhile ago, after that he just smiled and stared at the vanishing image and said to himself "Captain, you sure have many surprises." he then started to row heading to the island in sight.

'at the island'

at a certain island, there was a pirate called "BUGGY the CLOWN", captain of the "BUGGY PIRATES", he was throwing party after destroying and scaring the island and its islanders.

When they were having a hardcore party,(with shooting, bombing, and slashing of swords with each other)they didn't notice that they have been robbed, the one who robbed them was a girl with short orange hair and wearing short pants at thigh-level, an orange-stripped shirt and sandals. Her name was Nami.

She already piled up the gold in a big bag and made it through the rowdy pirates without them noticing her presence. When she was on top of a small hill of the village, there only the pirates noticed that their map of the "grand line" and gold were missing.

Turning their heads to see who took their map and gold, they saw Nami at the small hill holding the stolen things and quickly, Buggy order three of his crew to chase the girl and return with the things she took. They ran towards her and the chase scene started, reaching the town below the hill.

'minutes later'

After minutes of chasing, they stopped at their tracks, then all of a sudden their was a crack on the air pressure and the ground destroying several houses on the side and the back. The three pirates were terrified but Nami was shocked that the one who made those house blow up due to pressure was a skinny teenager wearing a black cardigan, white pants reaching past the knee, has a messy hair and a black and white cloak with an L at the back.

"Wh-wh-who t-the hell a-are you!?" asked the first pirate who was in front of the other two who are also hiding behind him.

Luffy just gave them a confused looked but when he saw Nami it was change it a small smile. "i'm Monkey D. Luffy and i'm gonna become the Pirate King but for that to happen i need a skilled navigator to help me roam around the seas and it looks she's just standing before me." Luffy said making the three pirates look at him in bewilderment and transferred the sights onto Nami.

"Me?" Nami pointed at herself.

"Yes, but first," Luffy then looked at the three pirates."it's not very good chasing girls like this." Luffy then stared at them his pure black eyes and his right eye began to flicker like it's emitting fire but it was black.

The three pirates were now pissing there pants or just shaking in fear because they can't move,the Luffy was now looking at them with his flaming right eye and then the pirates were now on the ground and can't get up like something was stepping on them, they screamed in pain *AAAHH* but suddenly blood came out of the pirates ears then mouth then nose, after that a clear and loud sounds of bones cracking *crack* were heard from the three pirates.

After awhile the three pirates were now dead due to broken bones and internal organs. Luffy distinguished the flames and went walking to Nami's direction.

Nami was relieved that the three pirates that was chasing her were gone but scared after watching what this Luffy did to them. Nami was trembling much more as Luffy stopped in front of her but to her expectations he just gave her a thumbs up and a silly grin and that somehow lessened her fear of him.

After that *grumble* a grumbling sound was heard from Luffy and that gave Nami a questioning look."uh... do you have any food in that bag of yours?" Luffy just smiled scratch the back of his head sheepishly but frowned after receiving a 'no' for an answer.

"but maybe their might be some on those houses over their." Nami then lead a happy Luffy to one of the houses that was empty due to the Buggy Pirates scaring the villagers.

'with Zoro'

"Damn, can't believe he left me like this." Zoro was just rowing hard and fast so that he could catch up with Luffy. He then stumbled upon some drowning figures as he got closer they were just some men.

Zoro reached them."hey, kid help us-krlgklrkglr." the man drank a little bit of sea water.

"can't stop i'm in a hurry, just hold on the side and climb up." offered Zoro.

As Zoro was within their reach the held tightly at the side of the boat and managed to climb it. The first man that had climbed up first stood up and held out a knife followed by the others.

"Hey kid!, we're taking this boat in the name if the Buggy Pirates. We'll let you go if you follow our orders." Zoro just stared at them with a deadpanned expression.

"hhmmm?" the pirates lunged their way to Zoro but he just drew one of his swords and dealt them each a fierce blow.

"Okay, row hard set course to that island!" Zoro was now standing at the front of the boat with the beaten pirates rowing at the back. They just found out that this was Roronoa Zoro so they just followed his orders until they reach the island.

'at the small house'

Luffy was eating some fruits that Nami gave him. Nami was confused a bit about him, he had deadly eyes when he was looking at the pirates but it seemed to change after that.

"So, what's your name?" Luffy asked."i already mentioned mine so it's your turn."

"i'm Nami... what are you, exactly?" Nami asked.

"i'm a pirate." this made Nami look at him wide eyed because she doesn't like pirates very much due to some circumstances.

"and it seems you must having trouble with some, am i right?" now Nami was hit by this question because it was true, she wouldn't have had to steal from others if their island wasn't ruled by some pirates.

"H-h-how did you know?"

"That mark on your left shoulder. I know that mark, my friend told me that they were fishmen."

"So? what's in it to you?" Nami was now looking down, she almost shouted those words because it made remember that day her mother or foster mother died.

"hhmmmm...How 'bout i help you with your problem in exchange, you join my pirate crew. Or maybe just a partnership so you can decide if you want to join." offered Luffy showing his wide grin expressing that he means good not like the other pirates.

Nami was now deep in thought about what he offered, she really didn't like working for pirates because it let her remember the death of her mother, foster mother.

She was now thinking if she would stick around them for awhile maybe she will be safe from other pirates and maybe they might have a chance at saving her village from the fishmen, the 'ARLONG PIRATES'. She wasn't able to say anything when she heard someone outside.

"OI GIRLY, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?" yelled a certain captain of a certain pirate crew.

Nami was the one who came out first because she knew that the girl they were looking for was her while Luffy was just sitting at the table covering his face with the shadow of his hood only showing a smile on his face.

Buggy was waiting at the top of the hill where three of his crew was lying on the ground breathless. He saw Nami come out of a small house and he said to her."Where's the things you stole from me!?" he asked it with a demanding tone.

"your things? i thought they were junk laying on the floor of a loud ship." said Nami with a teasing tone.

Now this was making Buggy mad at her but he then saw a shadowy character coming out of the house.

Luffy walked in front of Nami and told her to stay where she was and wait for someone, Nami just nodded and let Luffy do what he was doing.

"Hhhmmmm, HEY, why do you have a big ugly round red nose?!" Luffy shouted at buggy.

Buggy was ticked off by the question and ordered his crew to fire at the Black cloaked kid. They all followed the order and sent bullets towards Luffy but to there eyes the bullets that almost reached Luffy were just freezing in the air stopping completely which shocked all of them including Nami.

They stopped to look at what happened but when they stopped Luffy whispered to himself, Gravity Finger and then his index finger was showing a black swirling air.

Luffy then started to flick each bullet towards the pirates with an even faster speed at which no one can actually see, each pirate that was hit would be lying on the ground with blood pouring out of the holes that was crated by Luffy or they would be injured by the air around bullets that missed them by a millimeter.

Luffy manage to scratch Buggy a bit and that made him furious, he called out two of his strong crewmates, 'Mohji and Cabaji' and ordered them to attack Luffy with all they got.

Cabaji was the one who was riding a unicycle and wearing a checkered scarf, he was the first to attack Luffy but was blocked by a green cloaked swordsman. This made Luffy smile like he was expecting from the start.

"oh Zoro, what took you so long?" asked Luffy who now removed his hood showing his face to everyone.

"that's because you left alone in the middle of the sea, captain!" yelled an irritated Zoro who also removed his hood showing his green hair and three earpiece on his left ear.

"oh yea, sorry 'bout that."

"it's alright, as long as you left me some strong opponents to fight"

Cabaji was looking at who he was facing, it was the legendary Roronoa Zoro, the user of three blades. He always wanted to fight him someday but he didn't suspect that day would be today.

Buggy also saw the new opponent facing them and grew a smile on his face that the famous pirate hunter would appear in front of them and he was working for that kid. Buggy now assumed that the kid was strong if he could make the infamous pirate hunter follow him.

Mohji didn't mind the newcomer and rushed to Luffy with his huge lion, Richie. Richie raised his paw to strike down at Luffy but Luffy just brought his index finger(which was still flowing with gravity) out and once the lion touched the finger it sent him flying across a couple of houses and then stopped when he hit a tree.

Mohji was now shaking in fear, if he could beat Richie with just one finger then what difference would it make with him. Mohji froze in his spot as Luffy was coming closer and closer until Luffy was standing in front of him.

"your weak" said Luffy with a sad look on his eyes and face. He then raised his hand and gently patted Mohji on the head but it wasn't as gentle as you thought, once Luffy's hand made contact with Mohji's head, he was brought down hard to the ground making a 3 meter crater.

Luffy received some shocked faces from the people watching his fight, he didn't mind them and went back to Nami's side.

"so? does that make you join us or just a temporary partnership?" Luffy asked.

Nami snapped out of her trance and answered him. "J-j-just a partnership i'll think about joining if you can prove to me your not like the other pirates."

"yahoo! we got ourselves a navigator!" yelled Luffy.

Buggy was angry for being ignored so he threw a knife at Luffy but was proved pointless when Luffy flicked it and it broke through impact.

"I didn't forget about you, i'm just waiting for Zoro to finish his battle." Luffy stated. Buggy just stood there with a sadistic expression waiting for the fight to finish so he can deal Luffy.

Zoro had trouble dealing with a circus freak 'cause Cabaji used a weird fighting style causing Zoro to be more on defense rather than offense. With a couple of cuts and bruises on Zoro's body, he had finally had it with this uni-cycled freak and and he had now the upper hand. Zoro released his Santuryo skills and send some slashes to his opponent who now was almost on the ground covered in blood, Zoro needed to end this he then positioned his two swords across his chest and places the blade in his mouth horizontally behind them and said "Oni Giri" he then reached Cabaji and cuts through by swinging the swords across his chest producing a diagonal cut by two of his swords and a horizontal cut on his right arm.

Zoro then collapsed on the ground tired and he wanted a rest to heal some of his wounds.

Zoro won the round making a certain red nosed pirate to be pissed off. Luffy walked to Buggy in a safe distance and they stared at each other.

"How can you, a no named pirate bring shame to me. I will have your HEAD!" shouted Buggy. He was running to Luffy to deliver the first strike but Luffy just dodge it with ease. Luffy spread out both of his hands creating some thin black swirling air at the center."Gravity Disk" proclaimed Luffy. The air that was concentrated in the palms of Luffy turned pure black sucking in some dust in the air.

Luffy threw both disk at Buggy slicing him in half but he noticed some of his crew just snickering and laughing at the feat.

"Looks like this is far from over." whispered Luffy to himself. He noticed that a laugh was coming from the sliced up body of Buggy and then the upper part started to float showing his stupid head and it connected to the lower part showing his clowny shoes.

"Do you really think a no-named pirate could defeat me! I ate the Bara Bara no mi meaning slicing me up anywhere would never affect !" Luffy just kept staring at him with an unfazed looked.

"Let's see how far those words take you. Gravity Raise!" said Luffy. He pointed his finger towards Buggy and did something smarter than thrashing him around and destroying houses.

Buggy noticed that he can't move from his place and he unwillingly started to float in the air, Luffy moved his finger like he was throwing something and that made Buggy flew far away as well and ended up far from shore into the vast sea. Buggy was starting to drown because he was a devil fruit user but some of his lackeys came to save him.

'after meeting shushu(the dog) and the mayor'

"Zoro, where's the boat i left you with?" asked Luffy.

"it's just at the docks."

"okay!"

"Hey Nami, Let's go!, we're now going to the next island." shouted a happy Luffy running with Zoro and dragging an also happy Nami towards the docks.

Nami was touched about Luffy's actions with the dog protecting his owner's pet shop helping with some of the destruction caused by the fight. Now Nami believes in them for being different than other pirates.

The Buggy Pirates sailed away once they saved Buggy from being engulf into the sea because they didn't want to fight Luffy and Zoro again knowing they had no chance against them, they only went because Luffy stayed for awhile to help the town.

"Now we are getting closer to the Grand Line and to finding the 'One Piece'!, IKUZOO!"

and they set off to their next adventure waiting their way.
