Chapter Four

Garp sighed while he was doing his paper work stuck at headquarters. He wanted to be with his grandsons to have them trained. His second hand man said he would teach them schooling next time he went. Garp been so happy because he might be able to get them to become good marines. Luffy was so young he only had been able to get a little bit of training so far. Unlike Ace who has had much more. But living up in the mountains he needed it. Thinking about Luffy he was happy since his teaching. Luffy thought pirates where evil. And bandits he hated from the run in he had with some at the island he lived at before. He sighed looking at all the paper work he was worried since there been a rumor that Red Hair Shanks had gone to the east blue. He didn't know why but deep down he was worried about his grandson. He wasn't worried about his heath but something else bothered him deep down. He just hoped Luffy ended up a Marine. With his son Dragon turning out the way he did. He been told as long as his grandson wasn't a threat they would not kill him. Because of all the good Garp had done for the Marines and the government. Garp didn't know was Sengoku was keeping Luffy hush hush. But Garp smiled while writing, a month after he gets back Luffy would start schooling along with his training. He wasn't going to have a dumb grandson. And a smart marine is alive marine.

Shanks walked out on the deck of his ship early in the morning yawning while dragging a still sleeping Luffy. He smirked and dumped a bucket of Ice cold water on the boy. Luffy jumped up screaming and started to look around. "Come on it is day one of your training." He said smirking.

Luffy rubbed his eye but smiled "Ok what over.. Haki, fighting-"

"Swords."

Luffy gave a strange look to Shanks.

"Look being able to use a sword is an important part of being a pirate. You have Haki and devil fruit power. From the way you told me your story you fight much like your Grandfather. He is a strong and powerful man. But to turn down another way to defend yourself if foolish. So we will learning swordsmen ship. And I will keep you here until you are the level I want you at."

Luffy smiled he wanted to be stronger to keep his crew alive. He would not let anyone die this time around.

Benn was standing on the deck while he watched Shanks teach Luffy the basics of swordsmen ship. He knew what Shanks had planned and they been talking about taking Luffy with them after Garp comes back to visit Luffy. Though the problem is they found out it is the first time Luffy meets his brothers. He told them about losing Sabo and what happen. He didn't want it to happen and had to save him.

So after talking they agreed to go ahead and come back after Ace sets sail since Garp never visited Luffy when he was older. Benn smiled and looked over the messy list his captain had wrote for the training. Swordsmen ship, shooting, Navigation, fighting tactics. He thought back to how Luffy told him he wasn't good at any of that and that's what his crew members where for. Which Shanks looked at him in utter surprise. Saying how he needed to be trained, and bad. They already had plans for saving Ace and needed to save Whitebeard. With him gone the world fell into more chaos.

Benn sighed while thinking what they got there self into. But from all the stories of the future it wasn't just Luffy and his crew Coby had been trying to save. Benn was sure that Luffy didn't know how much that Coby had wanted him to change. He looked to the sky knowing that they will change the future.

Luffy was smiling he had been trained very well by Shanks in those thirteen months. That it had changed so much of Luffy's childhood coming back to the past. When Garp came to get him another man was with him. Which Luffy couldn't remember. Garp walked up to see his grandson to see a straw hat on his head that was too big for him. Looking at it he knew only one maybe two people who have worn that hat and it started to make him worry. "Luffy where did you get that hat."

Luffy smiled taking off the hat "I made a promise to Shanks to become the best pirate in the world. And then I will give him back this hat. So until then I will take care of the hat." He said and put the hat on his head.

Garp eye twitched and the other marine looked nervous. "You will be a marine."

"HELL NO I WILL BE KING OF THE PIRATES!" Luffy yelled at his Gramps hoping he would have to deal with his training twice.

"Well I am having you move." He turned to look at the man who came to teach Luffy. "Maes I won't need your help. Luffy needs to be to learn he won't be a pirate but a strong Marine."

"Sir shouldn't I still teach him. I mean if he schooled and knows the deeds pirates do he might change his mind."

Luffy stopped the memory flashed in his mind. Though last time he showed his devil fruit power and he was talking about Shanks non stop until it was decided he needed to live with someone else since he not be safe at HQ.

Luffy glared and smiled "I Will not be taught by some dumb Marine." Garp turned throwing a punch to have Luffy's head go flying back only to snap back in place. Luffy started laughing and soon it was decided to have him met his new brother. And be soon brothers.

..

Luffy had remembered the fact Sabo had been killed by the dam Celestial Dragons. He was panting as he forced his body to move faster. He did not let Ace or Sabo know about how strong he is. It was fun having them looking out for him. The time he been with Shanks the crew had seen how strong he been they treated him as an equal. And helped him train. But the moment right now he needed to save Sabo. He just had a horrible feeling. He was running and jumping over any fallen trees. Soon he was to the edge of trash mountain it was strange seeing it empty. But he took off and quickly snuck into the city and headed off to Sabo's home. Not knowing he should have gone to the docks.

Dragon had been watching the ceremony with distaste at how ignorant the people were. How could they cheer for such scum. That was when he saw the danger the child was in. As his ship was on fire. He motioned to one of his men to get out there and save the child. Remembering the kid the night before he could not let him die. Only for that moment to feel a very powerful wave of Haki wash over everyone cheering in the crowd to even the ships. And then felt the killing intent. Turning around he saw his son standing there with tears streaming down his face. Having just watched the dam Celestial Dragon fire upon the other boy.

"SABO!" 'no, no, no… I can't let this happen again.' He looked to see his father and his men the only ones still standing there. He looked and noticed a man in the ocean who had Sabo with him.

Dragon walked up to him kneeling before him, "do you know what you did?"

Luffy looked him in the face, "Yes, I need to save Sabo… If that means beating up the dam Celestial Dragons I will.. I would Kill them to save my brother."

Dragon smiled "He is ok at the moment. I plan to take him with me. He will be healed." He paused for a moment looking to his son. He could never think he be this strong. 'The blast of haki was most likely just his high state of emotion. But to have Kings Haki and such a strong blast at such a young age.' "Would you like to join me?" He said putting his hand out for Luffy to take. He never knew how strong his son was and that brought a smile to his face. He knew his son would not be a burden.

"No thank you… I will be the King of the Pirates. I can't if I go with you Mister.." Luffy took off running to look over Sabo to see that he did live. He smiled thinking maybe Sabo been alive in his last life and they just never knew since he been living his life. He turned to his father. "Don't tell him I was here. My big brother thinks I am weak… And I like it like that.."

Dragon was surprised at this. "Why?"

"Lets say it is a prank I am playing on him, and Ace… You will take care of Sabo.. He just wants to be free." Luffy said looking to his dad with tears falling down his face. Knowing he will not be seeing his brother for a very long time. "Please Mister for me take care of him. At least make sure he gets away and is somewhere safe." Luffy knew he wanted to take Sabo back to the bandits but.. He felt down deep Sabo should go with his father.

Dragon looked to his son. "Luffy I will watch over him you have my word. I would love for you to join me… But I see… I will not change your will. So live your life the way you want to live. I want to see you spread your wings and change the world can you do that?"

Luffy smiled "Yeah I will."

"Well you better get out of here." That moment the Dragons ship was crashing into the harbor and Dragon and his men started to flee. And Dragon turned around and was surprised to see Luffy already gone.

"Dragon Sir who was that kid?" A man carrying Sabo asked.

"Lets say he is someone I am very proud of." He wanted to say proud to call son. Or proud to be his father only still needing to keep Luffy safe from the world till he was stronger. He took Sabo noticing the kid was fast asleep and looked pretty beaten up. But he needed medical attention with that burn on his face.

Luffy was running back to the bandit place having to wait to find out the horrible news about Sabo. He was able to act like he did the first time at the thought of losing Ace and Sabo. The thought of losing both of them like his first life. Ace had become protective of him after that.

Luffy was watching as Ace was leaving the island. He smiled knowing this time his brother was much stronger. Since Luffy would use once and awhile bits of Haki to pull out Ace's. And was doing training for Haki on Ace with out him knowing it. He smirked thinking of all the times he sneak up on Ace to hit him with a branch with out him knowing had paid off. He thought back to when Gramps last came to visit and Ace dodged the love punch then times not even looking. Only to piss Gramps off even more to punch him in the back of the head. Gramps had been proud but very annoyed at the same time.

Luffy went off to get his stuff packed since Shanks would be coming any day now to pick him up. Luffy ran back to the Bandits place smiling while he gathered his things. He quickly told them all he was leaving and be back in a few years to head out on his own. Which had them all following him to see him climbing on the ship of the red haired pirates.

Shanks enjoyed Luffy on his ship as the cabin boy. Everyone was cheering and celebrating there time together. "So Luffy what are you going to do first?"

"I have to find Coby and make him believe in his dream. And then find Zoro."

Shanks swung his sword to be blocked by Luffy's "You gotten a little bit rusty. The next three years we will fix that." Shanks said smiling at him.

"So how is life on paradise, and the new world."

Shanks smiled "Good but we are first heading to Syrup Village so Yasopp can see his son."

Luffy smiled happy for that knowing he might be able to do more good now than latter. "Are you?"

"Hoping Yasopp can talk his son into not being scared. Yes that is what I am planning. And I think that it will work. Who knows may bring the-.. What the?" Shanks quickly ducked a punch from Luffy.

"Your not stealing my crew members!"
"Heck no! I was thinking of taking him to be trained as a sniper for you. He get some father son bonding time. And you be able to make him part of your crew. Come on Luffy think about it." He said while dodging Luffy's attacks. "Which people on your crew you said where the weakest. Nami, and Usopp. If we can get Usopp stronger before he joins you the better. And Nami you will have to help yourself. Who knows what is going to happen in these three years."

Luffy sat down thinking. "Fine…. Lets go see Usopp."

"PIRATES! PIRATES ARE COMING!" Usopp yelled having seen a pirate ship in the distance. He took off running to warn the village to see none of them believed him. And he decided best thing to do was run at a speed they keep up and headed to the shore.

The villagers growled as they now had Usopp surrounded at the shore ready to teach the brat a lesson. One of the men was about to hit Usopp only to have a bullet hit right in front of his feet. Usopp looked up with the rest of them just now seeing. The giant ship flying the Jolly roger heading their way. The people started to freak but then saw a man they didn't think they ever see again.

"DON'T YOU DARE LAY A HAND ON MY SON! THAT WAS A WARNING SHOT THE NEXT ONE WILL NOT MISS!" Yasopp screamed at the people on the beach.

A/n: Sorry for the late update… A thank you to all who sent me get well wishes. For me to get better from my car accident. I will say I am very lucky to be alive right now. My spine is messed up and left shoulder they still don't know what is wrong. But I am lucky because I had to have a tooth fixed and the dentist messed up and killed my nerve. Because of my pain killers I am taking because of the car accident. I didn't notice the pain. And because I wanted to go to Naka-Kon an anime con in KC I was off my meds incase I needed to drive. And because of that noticed the pain in my mouth. So went to the dentist to set an appointment. One of the nurse looked and said I needed to be seen then and there. My nerve was completely dead and decaying (so gross). If I hadn't gotten off my meds for that weekend I wouldn't known it hurt. So I had needed to get a root canal. And gotten an infection it would have gotten in my blood stream in a couple more days and killed me. So I am very lucky. But was able to finish this chapter so I am happy.

I know the chapter is much shorter than I would like. But as soon as I have Luffy hit 17 it will get longer.

Please let me know what you think of the chapter. Also any thoughts oh what should happen with Usopp
