Chapter 2
Luffy and Zoro have been sailing for a few days now. Luffy was smart enough to ration the food, but still they were getting a little stir crazy.
"Wonder when we'll find an island?" Luffy ponders leaning over the edge of the boat.
"Isn't it kind of weird that someone trying to be King of the Pirates doesn't even have any navigational skills?!" Zoro asks in frustration.
"I have enough navigational skills to get by, but we do need a navigator. Hopefully we find one soon. But, aren't you a bounty hunter who wandered the high seas?" Luffy questions.
"I have no memory of ever even calling myself a bounty hunter. I set onto the sea in search of certain man, but then couldn't get back to my village. I had no choice, so I just went after pirate ship's to earn a living." Zoro explains.
"Oh, so you're just lost." Luffy summarizes.
"Don't put it like that!" Zoro yells as he slams his hands down on the boat, making the boat rock. Luffy's straw hat flies off of his head. Luffy and Zoro watches as the straw hat blows up the sail.
"Shanks!" Luffy mutters as he remembers, "This straw hat is dear to me it's been with me through many a fight. Luffy, I can't give this even to you." Luffy and Zoro both try to catch the straw hat as it blows over the other side of the sail. Zoro ends up catching it as Luffy gets dragged into a flashback.
-Flashback: 10 Years Ago-
On Foosha Island, in the only tavern in town. It was full with rowdy customers, the Red Hair Pirates, led by their captain Red-Haired Shanks. Shanks and his crew have been well paying customers ever since Makino, the owner of tavern now, could remember. Right now, Shanks and his soul mate, Donquixote Rosinante were sitting at the bar eating and drinking. Well, Shanks was drinking, Rosinante was not. He was not much of a drinker. Sitting next to Shanks, on his other side, was a 7 year old Luffy.
"Then take me on your next voyage, Shanks! I wanna be a pirate too!" Luffy says with excitement. Rosinante thought it was so cute.
'Just like my little, Law.' Rosinante thinks with a sad fondness.
"Haha, as if you could ever be a pirate!" Shanks says with a laugh.
"Why not?!" Luffy cries.
"Luffy, just being a good swimmer doesn't mean you'd make a good pirate." Yassop, Shanks' sharpshooter, explains drunkenly.
"I'm good at fighting too! My punches are like pistols!" Luffy declares.
"Oh, really?" Shanks says doubtfully while eating his food.
"What's that mean?!" Luffy yells.
"He means you're too much of a kid, Luffy." Lucky Roo, Shanks' cook, explains.
"I'm not a kid! I'm a grown up!" Luffy yells.
"Now, now, don't get so mad. Here, have some juice!" Shanks says handing Luffy a glass of juice.
"Wow! Thanks!" Luffy says drinking the juice. Makino was cleaning a glass, shaking her head at them, used to this behavior.
"See, you are a kid! Ha!" Shanks says laughing. His crew laughs with him, except Benn Beckman, his first mate, and his soul mate, Rosinante.
"Don't laugh! That wasn't fair, Shanks! Stupid cheapskate Shanks!" Luffy yells. Rosinante's hand enough with Shanks' teasing.
"You're one to talk, Shanks. I don't know how you are a pirate? It must be because of Benn making sure you did nothing stupid to get yourself killed." Rosinante comments while grabbing Shanks' ear and pulling it. Benn smirks and the crew laughs.
'Mama Lion, Rosinante strikes again. Captain should know better.' Benn thinks shaking his head at his captain.
"Ouch, I'm sorry dear. I'll stop teasing him now." Shanks pleads with his lover.
"Fine, see that you behave, or you're sleeping with the crew tonight." Rosinante warns.
"Yes, yes, I promise I'll be good." Shanks says pleadingly. The crew laughs harder while Luffy just looks on in confusion.
"Thanks, Rosi-mama! You think I can be a pirate, right?" Luffy asks his mother figure in a hopeful voice. Everyone stops at that, wanting to know the mama lion's answer.
"You can be anything you want, Luffy. I would like to see you become a captain of your own crew, and beat Shanks at his own game. Become stronger then him." Rosinante giggling at the look on his lover's face.
"Thanks a lot, dear." Shanks grumbles half heartily.
"Your welcome, love." Rosinante says with a warm smile. Luffy sits there and ponders Rosinante's words. While they were talking, new customers walked in; and, they did not look friendly. The leader kicked one of the swing doors off.
"Pardon us. Oh…so these are "pirates." Look pretty damn dumb." The leader comments walking up to the bar.
"Welcome…" Makino greets wearily walking over to the end of the bar where the leader was standing.
"We're mountain bandits, but we aren't here to tear up the place. Sell us some booze. 10 barrels ought to do." The leader says with a slimy grin.
"I'm sorry. I just ran out of alcohol." Makino says.
"That's odd. These pirates seem to be drinking something… what is it, water?" The leader questions mockingly.
"No, what they're drinking is the last of it." Makino explains keeping calm and standing strong.
"My apologies. Looks like we drank the whole place dry. Sorry! You can have this, if you'd like. It hasn't been opened yet." Shanks says handing out the bottle of alcohol that Rosinante did not want. The leader bandit reaches for it, like he is going to take it; but, punches the bottle to where the liquid spilled all over Shanks. Rosinante was disgusted by the bandit leader's actions. He remind him of his older brother.
"There's an 8 million berry bounty on my head, you know. One bottle isn't even enough for a bedtime drink! Don't insult me!" The leader says threating.
"Ah, now the floor's all wet. Sorry about that, Makino-san. Do you have rag?" Shanks as he starts picking up the broken bottle shards.
"Oh, I'll do that!" Makino says running over to the other side of the counter. The leader draws his sword and swings it down the length of the bar. Breaking more dishes and put a crack in the wood of the bar. Rosinante had pulled Luffy away and had him in his arms.
"Seems you like to clean. Then maybe you'll find this more fulfilling. Humph, not worth our time if they're out of booze. Let's go! Later, wimps!" The leader called as he and his bandits leave. Rosinante could feel Luffy trembling. Rosinante sets Luffy on a bar seat and walks over to Shanks; and, kneels down by him.
"Man you're a mess, love. Are you hurt anywhere?" Rosinante asks looking Shanks over and whipping his face off with the rag Makino handed him.
"Oh, I'm fine, dear. No problem at all." Shanks reassures. Then he starts laughing, his crew joining. Rosinante just shakes his head at his lover's actions.
"He got you good, boss." Yassop comments while laughing.
"Talk about lame." Lucky Roo says while also laughing. Shanks was just sitting on the floor laughing while Rosinante was trying to clean him off as best he could with a rag.
"Why are you laughing?! That was so uncool! Why didn't you fight them?! No matter how many there are or how strong they seem, you're not men – or pirates – if you laugh after something like that!" Luffy yells.
"I can understand how you feel, but he only spilled some booze on me. It's nothing worth getting mad over." Shanks explains calmly.
"Whatever!" Luffy mutters angrily. He then sees a weird looking fruit in a small chest box. He proceeds to eat it.
"Eating out of frustration, Luffy?" Shanks asks with a laugh.
"Shut up!" Luffy yells still eating. Shanks then notices what he is eating.
"Wait, what you are eating?! That box! Did you eat what was in that box?!" Shanks asks in desperation.
"Y-Yeah…" Luffy answers in a scared voice. He had never seen Shanks like this before.
"Spit it out! Right now! Every last bite!" Shanks orders as he shakes Luffy upside down.
"W-What are you doing, Shanks?!" Luffy yells as he is shook upside down. Then his legs stretch and his face hits the floor. He then bounces back up.
"What…was that?" Luffy asks in shock.
"What you ate was the Gomu-Gomu Fruit! The Gomu-Gomu Fruit is known as a Devil Fruit! Eating it turns your body to rubber, and makes you lose the ability to swim for the rest of your life!" Shanks explains.
"Eh?! No way!" Luffy cries.
"Dumbass!" Shanks yells. Rosinante smacks Shanks upside the head.
"And what's so wrong with being a Devil Fruit user, or having a Devil Fruit power?" Rosinante asks in a sweet deadly voice. Shanks gulped knowing that tone is bad news.
"N-Nothing, dear. I just think that he will have a tough time from now on, is all." Shanks tries to explain.
"Don't worry, Luffy. There are many pirates and Marines who have Devil Fruit abilities. I happen to be one." Rosinante says reassuringly. Luffy perks up.
"Really?! What Devil Fruit did you eat?" Luffy asks excitedly.
"Well, my Devil Fruit is really not all that exciting, but I ate the Nagi-Nagi Devil Fruit. It turned me into a Soundless Human." Rosinante explains.
"Neat! But, soundless? You don't seem so soundless to me." Luffy questions in confusion.
"Silent." Rosinante calls out making a circular field around him, Luffy, and Shanks. Luffy noticed that he could not here the other people in the room.
"Wow! What happened to the noise?" Luffy asks.
"This is my power, Luffy." Rosinante goes onto explain how his Devil Fruit power worked.
"That's so cool! Will I be able to do cool things like that?!" Luffy asks with stars in his eyes.
"Well, we'll see. You have to train with your Devil Fruit power to see what you can do." Rosinante explains. Luffy nods excited to see what cool things he can do with his Devil Fruit.
-The Next Day-
Makino was running through the town. She needs to save Luffy. She arrives to see Luffy getting thrown into a water barrel.
"What the hell do you want you runt?!" The leader of the mountain bandits asks annoyed.
"Damnit! Apologize! How dare you make fun of Shanks and his crew?!" Luffy yells.
"Did I say something to offend you?" The leader asks mockingly kicking Luffy.
"You did! Now apologize! Stop making fun of Shanks and the others! You stupid bandits!" Luffy yells.
"You ought to watch your mouth, boy. No one who's ever made me mad has lived to tell the tale." The leader threatens as he reaches for his sword. The mayor then arrives and starts begging for Luffy's life, but the leader refuses wanting to kill Luffy.
"You're the bad guys! You mountain apes!" Luffy yells as the leader was about to swing his sword.
"I was wondering why the bar was empty looks like it's those mountain bandits from before." Shanks comments with not a care in the world.
"Luffy!" Rosinante cries the only one of the crew showing any worry.
"Rosi-mama! Shanks!" Luffy yells.
"So you pirates are still here, huh? Have you been scrubbing the village clean this whole time?" The leader asks mockingly.
"Luffy! I thought your punches were as strong as pistols?" Shanks asks teasingly.
"S-Shut up!" Luffy mutters.
"I don't know why you're here, but you'd best leave before you get hurt. Any closer and he'll shoot your head off, wimp." The leader says as one of his men puts a gun to his head.
"He said no closer. Don't make me blow your head off!" Bandit A says.
"Put your life on the line." Shanks comments.
"Huh?" Bandit A says.
"Now that you've drawn your pistol, put your life on the line." Shanks continues.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Bandit A asks.
"I'm saying those aren't for threatening people." Shanks says as Lucky Roo shoots Bandit A in the head. Bandit A falls dead. Everyone was shocked, but Shanks and his crew.
"N-Now you've done it!"
"These bastards fight dirty!"
"Dirty?" Yassop questions.
"Cut the crap. What, do you think you're dealing with saints or something?" Benn asks.
"You're looking at pirates!" Shanks announces.
"Shut up! You got nothing to do with this in the first place!"
"Listen, bandits. Whether I'm splattered with alcohol or food or even spit on, most of the time I'd just laugh and forget about it. But! No matter what the reason anyone who hurts my friends has to pay!" Shanks declares passionately.
'He's so hot when he gets like this.' Rosinante things.
"Shanks…" Luffy mutters emotionally.
"Haha, has to pay, huh? Lousy pirates! Kill them, men!" The leader orders.
"I'll handle this. Should be easy enough." Benn comments as he takes out a group of bandits with using his long pistol as a bat. "Don't get cocky, bandit. If you want to fight us, then go drag a warship here or something."
"So strong!" Luffy says in awe.
"H-Hold on! The kid attacked us!" The leader says nervous now.
"You are a wanted man." Shanks says with a grin. The leader pulls out a smoke bomb and throws it. When the smokescreen clears, Luffy was gone along with the leader.
"Luffy!" Shanks and Rosinante yell together.
"Crap! I let my guard down! Luffy's gone! What do we do, guys?!" Shanks yells freaking out.
"Quit freaking out, boss! It won't take us long to find him!" Lucky Roo explains trying to calm his captain down.
"I can't believe this guy." Benn mutters. The crew then felt a foreboding feeling going up their spins. They turned to where the feeling was coming from. They saw a very angry Rosinante standing there with a deadly aura that looked like a lion.
"Shanks…" Rosinante says in a deadly voice.
"Y-Yes, dear?" Shanks squeaked.
"If you do not get my cub back unharmed in 30 minutes, soul mate, or no soul mate; you will not touch me ever again! Do you understand?" Rosinante asks in a calm deadly voice.
"Yes, dear. Come on, men! Let's go find, Luffy!" Shanks orders.
-With Luffy-
The leader was dangling Luffy over the sea while standing in a little row boat.
"Let me go! Shanks is going to kick your ass!" Luffy yells as he tries to wiggle out of his grip.
"I doubt it. I will be long gone while you struggle to live." The leader says as he drops Luffy in the water. Luffy was struggling to stay afloat, but thanks to being a Devil Fruit user, he was sinking like a rock. As Luffy was struggling to live, he let out a silent cry which summoned a Sea King. The Sea King ate the leader of the mountain bandits and then turned to Luffy. The Sea King picks him up and brings Luffy to the shore. Shanks shows up and saw all of this. He was in shock.
'Did Luffy tame a Sea King?!' Shanks thinks in awe. Luffy hops off of the Sea King's back.
"Thanks a lot fishy! I think I will call you, Orochimaru!" Luffy announces. The Sea King, Orochimaru now, nodded his head then heads back to the sea. Shanks was carrying Luffy back on his back when Luffy spoke.
"Hey, Shanks." Luffy says.
"Yeah, Luffy?" Shanks questions.
"What's it like to meet and have your soul mate?" Luffy asks. Shanks was kind of shocked that a kid like Luffy would be interested in that.
"Well, you know who your soul mate is by looking them in the eye and being able to see color. A soul mate it's like a best friend, but more. It's the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It's someone who makes you a better person, well, actually they don't make you a better person... you do that yourself- because they inspire you. A soulmate is someone who you carry with you forever. It's the one person who knew you, and accepted you, and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens... you'll always love them." Shanks explains. Luffy was in awe.
"I want to meet my soul mate!" Luffy announces.
"Haha, you will someday. It make take weeks, months, or even years; but, you will find them. You just have to be patient." Shanks says confidently as they made it back to Rosinante and the crew. Rosinante runs up to them and scoops Luffy up into a hug.
"Are you okay, Luffy?" Rosinante asks hugging Luffy tightly.
"Yep! I'm fine, Rosi-mama!" Luffy answers then goes onto to tell him what happened.
"Wow, seems you had an exciting day. Time for bed." Rosinante announces as they take Luffy home. Shanks and Rosinante walk back to the Captain's Room on their ship.
"I think you deserve a reward for bringing my cub back to me." Rosinante purrs walking up to Shanks.
-Lemon Starts Here-
Shanks pulls Rosinante into a heated kiss. Rosinante whimpers at the roughness of Shanks' beard. Shanks' hands begin to roam all over Rosinante's body. His hands came down and groped Rosinante's butt, making him moan in the back of his throat. After a little fondling, they started to take off each other's clothes. Shanks took the time to look over Rosinante's body.
'I will never get enough of his body.' Shanks thinks while drooling a little bit. Rosinante saw this and blushed. The blush spreads down his firm chest. The red head smirks at this. The blonde pulls the red head into a messy kiss, to whip the smirk off of his face. Shanks pushes Rosinante onto their bed. The blonde whimpers at how rough his lover was being. The blonde loves it. Nobody would be able to tell by how sweet Rosinante is, that he loves it when Shanks is rough with him. Not BDSM per say, but a little roughness never hurt anyone.
Shanks crawls up the length of his lover's body, kissing places as he goes along.
"I still have to give you your reward." Rosinante says sitting up and pushing Shanks to lie on the bed. The blonde then starts kissing down the red head's chest licking his nipples as he goes along.
"Fuck!" Shanks growls in pleasure. Rosinante continues licking and kissing his way down until he was eye level with Shanks' cock. Rosinante licks and sucks on the head of Shanks' cock.
"Ah! Rosi-koi! So good!" Shanks moans in pleasure, loving the feeling of Rosinante's hot wet mouth. The blonde puts more of the red head's cock into his mouth. He starts sucking the hot length. He loved the feeling, taste, and texture of Shanks' cock. He could not get enough of it. He starts to suck harder, getting worked up just by sucking the hard length.
"Damn, slow down, dear. This will be over before it starts." Shanks warns with a moan. Rosinante stops sucking and lifts his head up.
"I agree. Let's get to the main event." Rosinante purrs as he reaches for the oil in their dresser drawer. He turns around and gives Shanks a show by lubing his fingers with the oil, and starts putting his fingers in his tight asshole. Shanks growls while watching this hot, sexy sight. Rosinante starts panting, and tries to hurry so he can put something bigger in his hole. He finally feels he is lose enough. He turns back around to face Shanks. He puts more oil onto his hand and lubes up Shanks' hard member.
"Ah, Rosi-koi." Shanks pants while Rosinante was lubing his member.
"I think this should do it." Rosinante says. He then positions himself over Shanks' hard, hot, cock and lowers himself down slowly onto it. Rosinante throws his head back in pleasure.
"Ah! So good! I love how good your cock feels in me, love." Rosinante moans in pleasure as he finally gets all of Shanks' member into him. Rosinante then starts moving up and down slowly at first. Shanks was in so much pleasure, not only from his lover's tight, hot hole; but, also for watching his lover taking his pleasure for himself. Shanks loves watching Rosinante.
"Shanks! It's so good! I can't stop. Please don't stop!" Rosinante moans loudly as he starts to move faster, and faster, lost in his pleasure. Shanks grabs Rosinante's hips and starts helping him move up and down. Rosinante then starts moving his hips like he was giving Shanks a lap dance.
"Ah, Shanks!" Rosinante yells as he came all over Shanks' firm chest.
"Rosinante!" Shanks moans a minute later coming into his lover's tight hole. Rosinante then rolls them over and wraps his arms and legs around Shanks.
"Ready for round two?" Rosinante purrs. Shanks just kisses his lover hard and messy while he gets hard again. Still inside Rosinante. Rosinante moans heatedly.
Their passionate sex marathon went on for a few hours before they were tired out.
-Lemon Ends Here-
"Damn, baby. What has gotten into you? Not that I am complaining." Shanks laughs while panting a bit, still coming down from his last release.
"I just found you really hot while taking out those bandits. You also protected my Luffy, who I see as my cub." Rosinante explains with a cute blush. Shanks smirks.
"Well, if I'm going to be rewarded like that every time. I will have to do it more often." Shanks says with a laugh. He then takes Rosinante into his arms and cuddles him. Rosinante puts his head onto Shanks' chest, feeling protected, safe, and satisfied. They then fall asleep in each other's arms. Feeling lucky to have found their soul mate.
-The Next Day-
Shanks, Rosinante, and their crew were packing up; and, getting ready to leave, Foosha Island. Luffy was standing at the harbor in front of Shanks and Rosinante.
"You're leaving, then?" Luffy asks with a wide grin.
"Yeah, it was a long stay, but now we part ways. Bet you'll miss us, huh?" Shanks asks.
'Like you won't miss him also. I know I will miss my cub. Just like I miss my other cub.' Rosinante thinks shaking his head fondly.
"Well, yeah, but I won't ask you to take me with you anymore. I've decided to become a pirate on my own! Just like Rosi-mama said too!" Luffy announces proudly. Shanks sticks his tongue out.
"I wasn't gonna take you anyway! You'll never be a pirate!" Shanks states teasingly.
"I will too! Someday, I'm gonna gather a crew every good as yours, and I'm gonna find the greatest treasure in the world, and I'm gonna be King of the Pirates! I'll show you!" Luffy declares strongly.
"You're gonna surpass us, huh?" Shanks asks impressed with his declaration.
"Yeah! And I'm also going to find my soul mate just like you! I am going to have a great soul mate like, Rosi-mama!" Luffy continues. Rosinante blushes in pleasure at Luffy's words.
"In that case, I'll leave this hat with you. It's dear to me. Take good care of it!" Shanks says entrusting his treasure to Luffy. Luffy and Rosinante both try hard not to cry as they hug each other good bye. They both flailed. Shanks and Rosinante then board their ship, the Red Force.
'Come bring it back to me someday! Once you've become a great pirate! That's our promise, Luffy!' Shanks thinks as they sail away.
-Flashback Over: Back to 17 Year Old Luffy-
Luffy comes out of his memories looking at the straw hat in his hands.
"Hey. You're gonna drop it again if you space out. Isn't it important?" Zoro states.
"Yeah. Thank you, Zoro!" Luffy says with a warm grin. Zoro blushes a little at his captain's praise.
"Man, I could go for some booze." Zoro comments.
"We should hit an island soon." Luffy answers reassuringly. Zoro nods trusting Luffy.
'I can't wait to see who my next crew member will be. I can feel them, my nakama!' Luffy thinks strongly.
