Welcome to the third Chapter of Death's Gift to His Master! Recently I've been working on getting To Save A Brother's Life up to the amount of chapters this one has which is currently thirteen of em. Brother's Life is up to six right now and today I'll be working on seven and eight possibly, depends on how giving my ideas want to be today. I had another story in the works, an AceLu where Luffy manages to save Ace at Marineford, but I kinda stopped mid scene at the fifth chapter because the smut scene didn't seem I unno good? But I'll probably continue that later. That one won't get posted till it's at thirteen chapters. Anywho, hope you enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: Don't own One Piece or HP, If I owned OP then Ace would have never died.

Death's Gift to His Master

On their way to Orange Town, Luffy gathered Alvida and Zoro in the ship's conference room for a meeting.

"Alright, first meeting of the Straw Hat Family begin!" Luffy said eagerly.

"Straw Hat Family, Cap'n?" Alvida said, amused.

"Hey, it's a great name! Plus most if not all crews are named after their Captain's epithet right? Plus we're a family aren't we?" Luffy said with a smile.

"I guess we are. You know that day I never thought I'd end up with a family after all was said and done. You're a weird pirate, but that's not bad." Zoro said.

"Anyways, what's the first order of business Cap'n?" Alvida asked.

"Oh yeah, first order of business! It considers your training!" Luffy said.

"Our training?" Zoro said, curious.

"Yeah, we all gotta get stronger, right? Everyone's going to be a lot more powerful than we are now in the Grand Line." Luffy replied.

"I guess that's true, but aren't we supposed to train on our own?" Alvida asked.

"Not at all! We're a family so we help each other train! Plus I got a training regimen for all of you. It's called Monkey D. Garp's Training of Hell regimen." Luffy said with a wide smile, causing Alvida and Zoro to back away nervously.

"Training of Hell… I'm afraid to ask but what is it?" Alvida asked.

"It's a regimen designed by my Gramps to increase a person's strength and speed! In fact, before we left I bought the items required for training." Luffy said before dropping something really heavy on the table.

What that something turned out to be was a bundle of training weights ranging from five pounds each to fifty pounds each.

"… Weights?" was Zoro's comment.

"Yup! You're to wear them every hour and every second of the day. When the weight becomes normal to you and you don't have to put in effort to move you up the weights by five pounds. There's one for each of your arms and each of your legs." Luffy said.

"Why aren't you wearing them?" Alvida asked, narrowing her eyes at Luffy's lack of weights on him.

"Shishishi. Gramps tried it with me but my Rubber Man qualities didn't help it at all. Whenever I wore them it'd make me stretch by default because it'd be pulling on my arms and legs. So he tried something different which involved carrying a lot of things." Luffy said.

"Ah, that makes sense I guess." Zoro said.

The next thing Luffy pulled out was a giant bag of rocks. That made the two look questioningly at him as they had no clue as to why he would need a giant bag of rocks for their training.

"What are those rocks for?" Zoro asked.

"Observation Haki training." Luffy said.

"…Explain it to us as if we don't know what Haki is." Alvida said, though she actually didn't know what it is.

"Oh! Sorry, I forgot that most people outside of the Grand Line don't know what Haki is. Let's see if I can remember the explanation that Gramps gave me… Haki is a power that lies dormant in all the world's creatures "Presence", "fighting spirit" and "intimidation". Those are the three types of Haki known as "Observation Haki", "Armament Haki", and "Conqueror's Haki". However, only two of the Haki's are available to everyone." Luffy said.

"Why are only two available to everyone?" Alvida asked.

"Well, nobody knows to be honest but the common belief is that the third one, Conqueror's Haki is only available to those who are fit to be king. Ironically enough I can use Conqueror's Haki, not well enough to consciously use it yet but still." Luffy said.

"Why haven't you trained to use it?" Zoro asked.

"Well, it's because to learn Conqueror's Haki comfortably you have to have someone who can use it teach you, and the only person who could use it well enough that I knew left before I found out I could use it. Also, I can't use Armament Haki yet because Gramps toldl me I wasn't exactly ready to use it as you have to be at least sixteen or seventeen to use it as your body is still developing prior to that and it's dangerous to use Armament while your body is developing." Luffy said.

"Ah, so what does each of the Haki's do?" Zoro asked.

"Well, first is the one I'm teaching you, Observation Haki. Observation Haki is the Haki of Presence. It allows you to sense people's life force and their strength as well as to an extent predict how a person's going to attack you. In short it teaches you to dodge and tell where people are." Luffy said.

"That… sounds really useful. Why doesn't everyone learn it?" Alvida asked.

"Because, most of the time Observation Haki is unlocked when you're in a do or die situation. But the way I'm training you you're going to unlock it by necessity of not wanting to feel pain. Also Observation Haki isn't perfect. If you don't have the needed speed to dodge, then you're still going to get hit." Luffy said.

"Ouch, we're going to be bruising, aren't we?" Zoro asked.

"Yup. Anyways, the second Haki, Armament Haki, is the Haki of Fighting Spirit. Using it allows you to strengthen your body to withstand damage or to deal a lot more damage than normal. Telltale signs of someone using Armament Haki is usually the blackening of skin. Lastly is the third Haki, Conqueror's Haki, is the Haki of Intimidation. Using it allows one to enforce your will on another being. This can lead to straight out knocking out a person or even killing them if they're really weak-willed. It can also be used to tame beasts. Advanced users of it can single out people to knock out rather than inexperienced users who affect everyone." Luffy said.

"Wow, that's something there. How does someone who has potential for that skill even unlock it?" Zoro asked, knowing that something like that had to have a catch.

"Yes, to unlock Conqueror's Haki you have to face desperation or fear of the highest quality or determination to face the depths of hell and move on. I unlocked mine when me and my brothers were attacked by pirates and it seemed like we were going to die. Anyways… are you ready to get started?" Luffy asked.

With a sigh of resignation Alvida and Luffy nodded. From there it was hell for Alvida and Zoro. Luffy had them wear the weights and attempt to dodge the rocks using their budding Observation Haki. Let's just say they ended up with a lot of bruises that were treated by their fledgling doctors. Thankfully, at least for Alvida and Zoro, they reached Orange Town within the week. When they got to the town they had anchored their ships on the other side of the town, away from where Buggy's ship was as to not get shot down by it.

"Zoro, you're staying on the ship to watch over everyone." Luffy said.

"What for?" Zoro asked a bit miffed.

"Because, Buggy has the power of a Devil Fruit that allows him to section parts of his body so your sword technique will be useless against him. Also, it's just in case someone decides to attempt to attack the ship." Luffy said.

"Well, I guess that makes sense. Just don't have too much fun without me." Zoro said.

From there Luffy and Alvida made their way off the ship and into the streets. What they found entirely odd about the place though was that it was completely empty and devoid of people.

"Ugh, Buggy must have taken over the town. Shanks did say Buggy was always overzealous." Luffy groaned.

"So.. what are we going to do then?" Alvida asked.

"I guess just keep looking around until we find someone I guess." Luffy said.

Sure enough they found someone but she was running away from a group of pirates with what seemed to be a map in hand. She however stopped in front of the two and smiled mischievously at them.

"Hey Bosses! Thank god you came here to save me!" She said before running off.

"Is that true? Are you this girl's bosses?" The men asked.

Luffy and Alvida looked at each other before nodding and then swinging their weapon of choice at the men, knocking them out.

"Wow, you guys are really strong! Thanks for saving me there." The girl said, sitting on the roof of one of the buildings.

The girl then led them to the inside of one of the houses.

"The name's Nami, Pirate Treasure Thief!" Nami said, introducing herself.

"Ah, I'm Monkey D. Luffy and this is Alvida." Luffy said.

"Mhm! Hey want to team up together! We could get a lot of treasure that way." Nami said.

"I'm not exactly sure if that'd work… Hey are you a navigator?" Luffy asked.

"Yeah! I'm really good at it too, I can predict weather by reading the environment." Nami said.

"That's perfect then! I want you to join my crew as my Navigator and Navigation Division Commander!" Luffy said.

"Wait! You're pirates?!" Nami said.

"Yeah, but we're not like Buggy and his crew. Just a few days we freed a town from an oppressive Marine Captain who randomly executed people." Luffy said.

"Hmm. You may say that but I really hate pirates. There are only two things I really like, Money and Tangerines!" Nami said.

"How about this! We'll prove we're not like the horrible pirates you seem to think of by saving this village from Buggy!" Luffy said.

"Hah. If you do that then I'll definitely join your crew!" Nami said, not really believing they could do it.

"Shake on it then and say it formally." Luffy said, planning something.

"Uh.. okay?" Nami said confused.

Nami grasped a hold of Luffy's hand and firmly shook it but Luffy kept a hold until she said her promise.

"I Nami, vow to join Monkey D. Luffy's crew if he and Alvida save Orange Town from Buggy." Nami said.

Suddenly after that green chain like smoke appeared on Luffy's and Nami's arms, binding them together tightly before disappearing quickly after.

"W-what was that?!" Nami asked, panicking.

"Ah, that was what I like to call an Unbreakable Vow." Luffy said.

"What's an Unbreakable Vow?" Nami asked, not liking the sound of it.

"It basically makes it so that you can't renege on your deal. If you attempt to it will put you in pain until you go forward with the deal. The pain starts out small but as you further refuse it gets bigger." Luffy said.

"…. Didn't think you'd have insurance for something like that and how the hell did that even happen?" Nami asked.

"That's a secret~ I'm not telling you until you join my crew! Now where is Buggy located at?" Luffy asked.

"He's at the bar in town." Nami said.

And with that they made their way to the bar where Luffy pulled all three of them up to the roof with his rubber powers, shocking Nami once again.

"Yo Buggy! I'm here to evict you from this town!" Luffy said, causing everyone to sweatdrop.

"Who the hell are you brat?!" A clown faced man yelled.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy! Nice ta meet ya!" Luffy said.

"Ugh, get him boys." Buggy said, waving his hand, not even bothering get up.

"Alvida I bet I can beat more than you!" Luffy said.

"Hah, we'll see Cap'n." She said.

With that they charged forward, swinging their mace and fists, beating on Buggy's crew members. It was pathetically easy to knock them out, as if they were all simply just cannon fodder, pun not intended. After knocking most of them out there were really only two left plus Buggy. One of the two was sitting on a giant lion and had a weird hairdo that made it look like he had a mane of fur. The other was a weirdo sitting on a unicycle with two swords in hand.

"Ugh… Shanks was right, you take the clown theme way too far." Luffy said, facepalming.

"So you know that bastard Shanks? Did he send you after me?" Buggy asked.

"Yeah I know him! He gave me this hat. And no, he didn't send me after you. If he wanted to fight you he'd come after you himself." Luffy said.

"I thought that hat looked familiar. Mohji, take care of the brat." Buggy said.

"My pleasure, captain." The man on the lion said.

Mohji charged forward on the lion which then jumped, mouth wide open and ready to eat Luffy.

"Oh no you don't I'm not becoming food for something again." Luffy said before spinning his arm and releasing the tension on the lion.

Said attack sent the lion and the tamer flying into and through the wall, landing them in the ocean behind the bar.

"Next please?" Luffy said.

"Cabaji! Kill the brats!" Buggy yelled, getting mad.

This time Alvida stepped forward, brandishing her mace.

"I got this one Cap'n." She said.

"Go for it." Luffy said with a smile.

Alvida calmly walked forward and readied herself with her limited Observation Haki training.

"Alvida? Would you be Alvida the Iron Club? You look a lot different than your wanted poster but nevertheless it'll be a wonderful payday for me." Cabaji said before wheeling forward on his unicycle.

Cabaji wheeled forward and started swinging his swords at Alvida. However, what shocked him was when she managed to dodge every single swing just barely. This just made the man mad and blow fire in her face. Quickly before she could get severely burned she slipped into the splits before swinging her mace into the man's unicycle. The man had to wheel back fast so as to not get the unicycle smashed to pieces. Of course that didn't help at all as Alvida was quickly back on her feet and swung her mace at the man who was now on the defensive.

"Gah! This is so frustra-" The man started before the mace slammed into his head, knocking him out.

"Seriously, that's all you got?" Luffy asked.

"AGH! Take this Bara Bara Cannon!" Buggy yelled, launching his fist off his body with a dagger in hand.

Luffy simply jumped to dodge it however Buggy then threw multiple daggers at Luffy while he was mid air. To combat this Luffy grabbed ahold of one of the support poles on the roof and yanked himself towards it, dodging it. Then using the momentum he gained from the launch, he spun around on the pole and launched himself at Buggy.

"AH! Bara Bara Emergency Escape!" Buggy yelled, scattering his body parts.

Luffy however didn't lose his flow and instead grabbed one of the scattered body parts which just so happened to be one of Buggy's hands. He then smiled and turned to Alvida.

"Hey Alvida, wanna play some baseball?" Luffy asked, causing her to smirk.

"Why not, we have some time." She said, readying her mace.

"W-w-what are you doing with my hand?!" Buggy yelled, panicking, rushing his head towards Luffy.

However Buggy was too late as Luffy launched the hand at Alvida who swung and hit the hand with her mace. That resulted in Buggy yelping in pain and the hand going flying off the roof and far away from them. As it was flying it suddenly fell to the ground, as if it couldn't float anymore.

"Aha! You have a limit of 200 meters!" Luffy said, causing Buggy to pale as Luffy picked up the other hand and launched it at Alvida who once again hit it out of range.

"Stop launching my body parts away!" Buggy whined, which had no effect as Luffy then proceeded to launch the man's feet at Alivda who again hit them out of range.

"Now for the last part…" Luffy said before picking up Buggy's head which had attached itself back to its body.

Luffy then flung Buggy at Alvida who had a scary glint in her eyes.

"Let's go for a homerun!" She shouted as she swung the mace, launching Buggy out to sea.

"NOOOOOO!" Buggy yelled as he disappeared into the distance.

After Buggy disappeared there was a gasp behind them. They turned and saw it was Nami who seemingly now had two bags of treasure in her arms. She seemed utterly surprised at them.

"You guys actually beat him… wow. I actually didn't expect this." Nami said, looking a bit nervous.

"He wasn't that hard to beat. Although it may have to do with the fact that he dumbly separated all his body parts." Alvida said.

"There is that…" Luffy said before turning to Nami with a giant smile.

"You're one of us now Nami!" Luffy shouted.

"Uh… I won't be able to join you! Not that I don't want to but I'm trapped in another crew!" Nami said, wincing after the first sentence.

"Hmm.. how about you come back to our ship and explain. We might be able to help you." Luffy said.

With that they made their way back to the ship. On the way there though they spotted a dog sitting guard in front of what seemed to be a pet food store. Luffy stopped before the dog, squatted and began to pet the dog.

"You leave Shushu alone!" A male voice yelled.

They turned around and found a man wearing armor glaring at them.

"Aw but I just wanna pet him." Luffy said.

"Who are you?" Alvida asked, considering her captain was distracted at the moment.

"I'm the Chief of this village! Are you with Buggy?" The man asked.

"Ah, no we just expelled Buggy from your village so you guys are free now." Alvida said, causing him to freeze.

"Wait.. you freed us from that pirate?" The man asked.

"Yup! Although.. if you see any hands or feet lying around, tie them up and keep an eye on them." Luffy said, no longer distracted by the dog, having gotten his fill of petting it.

"… That's an odd request." The man said, sweatdropping.

"There's actually a reason for it. They're Buggy's body parts. He can separate them at will but he can only control them at a certain distance. So at some point he'll come back for them. When he does just blackmail him for them back to stay away from you guys." Luffy said.

"Ah…. Okay then. We must repay you somehow though..." The man said.

"Well, we need someone to see if our ships need repairs, and maybe a restock of some of our supplies, although we can get those at our next stop, Syrup Village." Luffy said.

"Syrup Village? That's a quiet little town, why are you heading there?" The chief asked.

"Well, the son of my friend Shanks' Sniper is there and I wanna recruit him. Yasopp told me that he taught his son Usopp everything he knew." Luffy said.

"That's actually a good idea, we do need more ranged fighters." Alvida commented.

After that they departed to the ship where as promised by the chief they were met with Shipwrights to help repair the ship. Thank the Blue they did because it turned out that both ships were slowly accumulating damage from their trips so it was great that they repaired everything. While that was happening Luffy had everyone meet in the conference room so Nami could explain everything.

"I can't join you guys because I'm forcibly part of the Arlong Pirates. I joined so I could buy my village, Cocoyashi Village that is." Nami said.

"Arlong Pirates? I've heard of Arlong from Gramps, he said the fishman's a cruel person who hates humans. I'm actually shocked that he would allow you on his crew." Luffy said.

"Well, he let me on because I'm really good at making maps and navigating… But now you see why I can't join." She said.

"Nah! You can still join! We'll just free you and your village from Arlong's control! It's that easy." Luffy said.

"But Arlong's really strong! He's a fishman for Blue's sake! That makes him ten times stronger than a human!" Nami shouted.

"I don't care! You're part of our crew now which means you're family now! And family helps each other!" Luffy said.

"Yeah, leave it to us sis." Zoro said with a smirk.

"Yeah, leave it to your brothers and sisters to take care of this for you." Alvida said, putting a hand on Nami's shoulder.

Slowly but surely a smile grew on Nami's face and a tear ran down her cheek.

"T-thanks everyone… Really, thank you." Nami said.

"No problem! Now, first of all, I've decided to make you the Commander of two divisions." Luffy said.

"Wait what? Why?" Nami asked, now confused.

"Yeah why does she get to lead two?!" Zoro said, a bit jealous.

"Well, because for one, she's the best person for the second Command spot and I doubt we'll run into many people with aptitude for it. She's going to be the Commander of the Finance and the Navigation Divisions." Luffy said.

"Finance division? I get to keep track of all the money?! Cool!" Nami shouted, making Luffy think he saw Belly signs in her eyes.

"I.. uh guess she is good for that spot. She doesn't seem like the person to let us overspend." Zoro relented.

"Second topic, it'll be a tiny bit before we go rescue your village from Arlong. This is for two reasons. One, we have two stops to make before Cocoyashi Village and two, we need to train you up so you can fight alongside us. I mean, I'm sure you'd want to mete out some of your own punishment onto Arlong." Luffy said.

"Fight? B-but I don't have a specialty like you guys. I can't wield heavy weapons or swords." Nami said.

"Au contraire, you can predict the weather therefore I have the perfect gift for you." Luffy said, taking off his necklace and setting it on the table before enlarging the chest.

"You're giving her a Devil Fruit Cap'n?" Alvida asked.

"Yup, this one's perfect for her." Luffy said as he opened up the chest and pulled a fruit out.

The Devil Fruit had a cloud like shape to it and was completely grayish-black except for the patterns that seemed to be rain, snow, and lightning.

"Say hello to the Devil Fruit of Class Logia, the Ten Ten No Mi, or simply the Weather Fruit. Eating this fruit will allow you to control and change the weather as well as transform into a storm cloud. This fruit will make you a Weather or Storm Human. Now be warned, your ice attacks will not be stronger than someone who ate the Ice Logia Fruit but will be stronger than someone who ate the Lightning Logia Fruit." Luffy said.

"I guess that would make sense, the strongest ice is formed on land rather than in the sky and the other way around for lightning." Nami said offhandedly as Luffy handed her the fruit.

"Well down the hatch it goes!" Nami said as she ate the Devil Fruit, grimacing at the disgusting taste.

"Ugh that tasted horrible!" Nami said.

"Yeah but bad taste is a nice price to pay in exchange for being able to protect yourself and others." Luffy said.

Suddenly Nami gasped and looked around.

"What is it sis?" Alvida asked.

"I… I can sense the weather in the sky. It feels so warm and nice…. I feel like I can change the weather to anything I want." She said with a content sigh.

"Great! That means it worked! Although I'd advise you against doing that, we do like this calm weather sis." Luffy said.

"Oh don't worry, I like this weather too. I'm keeping it like this for now." Nami said.

"Cool! Now let's see.. Hey guys, what weapon do you think would suit her?" Luffy said.

It was actually Nami who spoke up instead of Alvida and Zoro.

"I can use a bo-staff actually." Nami offered.

"Hmm, I think we have a bo-staff in storage." Alvida said.

"Good, then we can get started on your training!" Luffy said with a smile as Alvida and Zoro paled, which Nami noticed.

"G-guys why are you paling? GUYS?!" Nami yelled in a panic.

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed the chapter! The Ten Ten No Mi is a fruit I created and I'll end up mentioning later in To Save a Brother's Life. If you're wondering why Luffy has a lot of Devil Fruits, most if not all of it is because people don't believe in Devil Fruits in the East Blue, key in note Nami. So if they see a strange fruit they either ignore it or think it's worthless. Also you can chock it up to Luffy's supernatural luck. And don't worry all the Straw Hats wont be Devil Fruit Users. It's the one thing I wont do because it's dumb. YES I'M CALLING YOU AND YOUR GIFTER ARMY OUT KAIDO.
