AU with LuZo pairing
Rating: M for sexual preference and mild language
Disclaimer: Eiichiro Oda is the rightful owner of One Piece, here I just borrowed the characters for my own pleasure.
A/N this is my first project to wash away the ukefied Luffy mainstream, don't you get tired reading a fic where Luffy was portrayed as a weak blushing girly uke? Screw them Luffy is a manly and strong character, don't you agree? STOP UKEFYING LUFFY!
I'll made Luffy OOC in here, but not too much. He will still act carefree and sometimes childish, but he's more responsible for his own act. Don't worry I'll give an explanation along with the story why Luffy act like this, because I believe in character development rather than making a character out of the blue act strangely.
Review answer: (I actually reply to all my reviewers, but when they're not logged in I reply them in the story, you can skip it anyway)
bex: No, I will never abandon this story, maybe I'll update it slowly but I'll finish this I promise. And yes I made Zoro a bit dumb in this story but because in canon Zoro is actually no better than Luffy in a matter of knowledge. It's always funny to see how perfect they are for each other.
FINALLY: Uhh a bit name but whatever :p, right I'm glad you're agree with me. And yes I hope I can make this the first AU fic that contains LuZo pairing, just keep supporting me. And yes I can't help it to make Luffy act OOC but I'll give you a flashback why Luffy acted this way, just be patient. Hehe :D
yay: here it is, fresh from my laptop. Lol :)
Thanks for those who had favorite, followed, and especially reviewed this story.
On with the story!
-How to Tame Your Student-
Chapter 2
-X-Agent Program, Part I-
"Shit how come a young boy like him is a teacher, that damn brat must have told the teacher right now, wait he's a teacher himself, so practically I asked a teacher not to told the teacher, arrgh how more stupid can I be?" Zoro murmured to himself while half-running through school hallway, row of classrooms beside him had already filled with students and the homeroom teachers already made a roll call in front of the class, "Shit it's not the time to worry for that blasted young teacher, I've been caught fighting a student by a teacher and now I'm fucking late, and it's not even my first day yet." Zoro dashed through the now-empty hallway.
-Few minutes ago-
"What?" Zoro, out of shock, instantly respond Luffy's claim, his face showed an expression akin to disbelieve and surprise.
"Shishishi I certainly don't look like a teacher right? But I am." Luffy had now turned to face him and walked backward. Luffy said it in a happy voice almost like he tried to deliver a joke, but upon closer inspection he realized that yes Luffy didn't wear the uniform like his, he wore a formal attire instead, and yes his face although looked boyish it had a streak sign of maturity especially his eyes, those two black orbs were so deep like he had experienced something a boy his age shouldn't have. Moreover, if he recalled, Luffy did say to Helmeppo to meet him after school and the kind of tone he used was very authoritative.
"Are you really a teacher? I mean, for real?"
"Yes I am," Luffy gave a fast respond
"What kind of school would accept an underage teacher like you?"
"This school I guess, but really I'm not that young." Luffy said dismissively
"So you're like an old guy who stuck on his young body? I've heard a symptom like that." Zoro talked randomly, he still hadn't come out from his shocked state.
"Shishishi you're funny Zoro. I'm not underage and I'm not old, I'm around your age actually." Luffy, having said all important things, turned back and walk normally, he hummed a little when entering the building guiding Zoro to the front desk.
"Well I guess I can accept that, start from my father, then that weirdo with pink hair, and now you. Really, I shouldn't ever wake up this morning." Zoro regained his composure, and put a scowl on his face and talk all-business. If Luffy was indeed younger than him he needed to show him that he's not someone he wanted to mess up with. "I normally won't barge into others' business, but how can you become a teacher? You're younger than me if I can say."
"Are you sure you're not the one who is too old to be in his high school?" Luffy answered playfully, chuckling slightly.
"I-I'm not that old." Zoro stuttered, seriously this kid could get on his nerve.
"You're 21, that is what written in the paper I received this morning. I always asked a profile for all of my students, so I can understand him better. So it's obvious that you're lying, shishishi."
"Huh there's not a problem with that, right? I don't feel like graduating yet." Zoro gruffly answered, he might as well act like he didn't care about his age to save his ass now. If what Luffy told him was the truth that he would be on one of his classes, he didn't want his age to be revealed and got ridiculed by whole class.
"That's an interesting case you have there, well I guess I'll have to find out about you more. But that's for later, for now you better stand beside me." Luffy gave a gesture to Zoro indicating him to stand beside Luffy.
Zoro did so but couldn't help but voiced his confusion, "What now sensei?" Zoro said the word mockingly.
Luffy, either didn't catch the mock salute or ignore it, let the insult passed. "Look ahead," Luffy pointed out his finger to the end of hallway, "Can you see the corner near the front door?" Luffy looked at Zoro in which Zoro gave a slight nod, Luffy then continued, "That's the front desk."
Zoro then realized that he already passed that desk he entered the school building, "Uhh, thank you I guess, I should've seen that but that weirdo kept me distracted." Zoro tried to defend himself.
"Shishishi no need to explain it to me," Luffy gave him a knowing look and said, "I'll see you around then. See ya! And don't get lost!" Luffy turned away and literally ran and laughed along the way.
-End of flashback-
Somehow for the first time of the week Zoro managed to find the right place without having to get lost twice first. He only got the wrong floor and embarrassedly entered the wrong class; fortunately the homeroom teacher was kind enough to give him the right and clear direction so he could find his class before the homeroom class over. He knocked three times, waiting the teacher to open the door and introducing him to the whole class. After waiting for almost one minute, the door slide open and revealed a middle aged male teacher, he loomed over him and looked a bit scary with three scars on his left eye and he had a bloody red hair color that made Zoro questioned the rule of the school and its credential, first an almost-too-young teacher and now a teacher whose hair was obviously bleached. But all the scary impression was all falling apart when he put a big grin on his face and talked in a cheery voice, "Yo! you must be that new student right? Come in we're waiting for you." He turned and told to the class, "Class, here he comes, the new student!"
Zoro entered the class and looked around to see the class occupants, still keeping his straight face. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The name is Zoro, Roronoa Zoro, pleased to meet you all." He always hated a formal procedure of introduction on the first day of school.
"Now, now glad to have you joined our class Zoro. Choose your seat yourself, anywhere is fine just make yourself comfortable."
Just after Shanks mentioned that he could choose his seat by himself he realized that the class was actually half-occupied, the front rows were vacant, just few of the students seat on the middle row and the back row was already full. He then scanned the students, what he saw was certainly not what he expected, the students looked normal or if he might say unnervingly better than his friends in his former high school. He compared them to himself; his uniform was, although now buttoned and tucked, crumpled and so worn out, theirs looked like just out from the store. His trouser was ripped around his both knees and the color was faded, their trousers still looked brand new and for the female their skirts were covering their knees, in his former school the girls are looked like a whore with their skirts barely covered their butts. They looked diligent too, at least in his opinion. Great! Now my classmates are all nerd, God sure want to make fun of me today.
Zoro decided that he would never want to have a business with dorks who were his classmates, so he chose the very front seat. He felt all the stares were directed at him, but he ignored all, he was a natural loner he enjoyed being alone a lot, people presence bothered him and they kept disappointing him so he had since long ago lost his faith towards people. The people with whom he usually had business were the one who were his prey or his human punch bag.
"Have a nice day kids, remember it's your last year, so study hard or we'll meet again next year" A few faces paled thinking over the chance they had to repeat the year in this high school, poor Zoro didn't have any idea on what kind of hell this high school would be for him. Before any paranoid students could make ruckus, the bell indicating the homeroom session over rang. "It's over guys! Look to your schedule and proceed to your next class. Class is dismissed."
Zoro opened one of the papers the front desk woman gave him. Surprisingly his next class was a counseling class, his luck really went off this day. What kind of school still had counseling class for their third grader? He considered skipping this silly class until he saw the name of the teacher, Monkey D Luffy. Isn't that the name of the boy-teacher I met this morning? He doesn't look like a teacher moreover for a counseling one, this school sure is messed up.
"Is something wrong, tough boy?" A cheer voice said beside him, Zoro looked up to meet yet again a male weirdo. He had a square and impossibly long nose and round small eyes with long straight eyebrows, not to mention his orange hair but since his hair was naturally green he didn't give a comment about that. "The name's Kaku!" the boy grinned.
Zoro gave the boy a slightly sharp glare indicating that the boy should mind his own business, but the boy didn't even falter his grin even grew even bigger. Zoro turned his head and stood up to leave the class but the orange haired guy managed to snatch the schedule paper from his hand, and laughed while waving the paper above his head, Zoro only watched with blank face and in a very deep threatening voice he said, "If you really value your life give back my schedule, now." He might not bring his most-prized three katanas to school but that didn't mean the steel ruler in his bag wouldn't do, and now his hand already grabbed that thing.
"Chill out would you? I just want to know what your class…" Kaku suddenly stopped in midsentence, his eyes got bigger when he read his schedule and a look of disbelieve shown on his face, "You-you have a counseling class?" Kaku stuttered he was certainly nervous because sweat was covering his face.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Zoro gave a questioning look.
"Ha-ha ha ha no problem, yeah no problem at all." Kaku laughed nervously, he snuck one hand to Zoro's shoulder giving him a side hug, he then put the paper back into Zoro's hand and whispered, "Whatever happened on that class, it is dangerous, make sure you obey everything the sensei said and you'll be left unharmed. Believe me I've been there." After saying that Kaku looked around to see if anyone heard the conversation, he was secured that none was around, so he waved hand to Zoro and quickly left.
Zoro glanced back and forth from Kaku to the piece of paper on his hand, "Just fucking great." He slammed his fist on the desk making a cracking loud noise. His nostril flared and his body tensed he already marked his patience limit but it seemed people wanted to push it beyond his limit.
Zoro couldn't calm himself and still standing on his desk, but then many students came inside the class forcing Zoro to leave. So still in his bad, no, his worst mood of the week he went to his next class that strangely located on the roof top. It's the place that he'd never get lost to because he just had to go upstairs until he met the door and that's the roof top, besides he used to go to roof top on his former school to calm himself or meditate.
When he arrived at the open space on the roof top, he could see that a fight was about to happen. A red haired student, whose body looked like it was stuffed by muscles, pinned a smaller person that Zoro couldn't see because the view was blocked by the red haired huge body. He could sense a dangerous aura emitting from that muscle pack and he's certainly twice bigger and taller than him. The sight was firing the predatory side of Zoro. He was aching for a good fight ever since this morning plus his bad mood now he would accept any duel. He cracked his both knuckles and prepared the steel rulers put it on his hands and ready to launch.
"What are you trying to pull kiddo?" The rough voice that belonged to the red haired man said. "Act so mighty and try to rule us, and we're supposed to call you sensei? Let me teach you something." The big guy then threw the pinned person to the fence hard, made the said person slumped to the hard ground. Just then he could see the person was Luffy.
"What are you doing, Kidd?" Luffy's voice trembled, he looked up to the big man that now approached him, and his shadow loomed over Luffy's current frightened form. He then grabbed both of Luffy's hand and pulled him up; his body pressed to Luffy and trapped him between Kidd and the fence. "St-stop it, I'm your teacher. This kind of attitude is unacceptable" Zoro could only see the scene happened, he couldn't believe Luffy squirmed under the Kidd's stance, as long as he could recall that boy had quite strength that could stop his kick, so why did he chicken out now?
"Hehe if you're squirming more it'll only make me want to rape you more, but after I beat the daylight out of you." Kidd cracked his neck left and right, prepared himself to start bullying the frightened teacher. Zoro had to stop himself to go there, even though his hands itched to slash something and the red haired guy seemed to be a potential rival, he didn't want to be caught fighting in the school by Luffy again. Maybe when the situation get worse I'll interrupt and Luffy will see me as his savior, and then maybe he won't tell to headmaster about what happened this morning. Zoro nodded to himself, it was a perfect plan that will give an advantage to his position.
"I'm warning you if you continue I'll…"
Kidd interrupted Luffy's sentence, "You'll do what? Crying and reporting me to headmaster? You little piece of shit!" Kidd swung his fist hard targeting Luffy's left check, but considering the thickness of his fist the damage would take the whole left side of Luffy's face instead just his cheek. Before the fist could touch Luffy's cheek something surprising happened, Luffy tilted his head to the right dodging the fist that now connected to hard fence. Kidd, who didn't see this coming, yelped.
"I was going to say I'll kick your ass." Luffy chuckled. The next thing happened so fast that Zoro almost couldn't believe what he saw. Luffy easily released his hands from Kidd's tight grip, then with one powerful blow he punch Kidd right on his stomach, literally sending Kidd flying a bit and he fell unceremoniously on his back. His hand grabbed his front shirt and curled up in fetal position, the look on his face showed that the pain was so intense, his mouth agape but no sound's coming.
"Shishishi fooled aren't you? Do you expect me to tremble and fear of you? Crying and do nothing as you use me as living punch bag? Aaah I'm a good actor after all." Luffy walked towards Kidd like nothing happened before. He had his huge grin on his face and his eyes glinted with something akin to maniac. "However I'll fight fair and square but not here, meet me tomorrow after school and we'll have a decent fight I promise." He squat down near Kidd's face, he grabbed his hair and yanked it up to see his face, "If you want." Luffy said in a calm tone but the aura that's coming from his body was dangerous enough to made Zoro shivered, indicating that none should mess up with him. Zoro's predatory instinct only flared up more. Maybe he should pick up Luffy as his rival instead of Kidd, whatever to please his dark side.
"D-Don't you think this is over yet." Kidd said half-panted still struggling to overcome the pain.
"None said that, shishishi it's settled then." He let go of Kidd's hair and the head fell to the ground with sickening crack sound. Luffy then stood up looking around examining the crowd that gathered because of his fight with Kidd. "Shishishi let's start the class!"
After Luffy said that, Zoro began observing the people on the roof top, there were barely twenty students and all of them looked greatly different than the students he looked inside the class. They're, if he might say, rough and wild just like him. There were just two women among the groups, one woman with a stunning beauty and one who was holding a huge meat on both of her hands. The rest of the groups were male that he didn't bother to identify every one of them.
"Form two rows of lines please and then we'll have a brief introduction." Luffy said in cheery voice, gave a sign to everyone to form a line in front of him. Some of the students moved but there're students who just stood still like Zoro, because he didn't feel like obeying the command of someone younger than him, and some talked to each other. "I'll give you one minute to form the line or you'll end up like mister Eustass here." Luffy still said in cheery voice but somehow it made the threat scarier. After hearing that, the students hurriedly seat on the front spot of Luffy, including Kidd who pushed himself up and dazedly walked to the spot, groaning in deep voice.
"Welcome guys to our counseling class, in here I'm-I'll uhh what am I supposed to do here again?" Luffy tilted his head and looked upside, "Well let's forget about the introduction okay? I've written my speech in paper but I maybe accidentally threw it away, shishishi."
"Not again Luffy! You did the same last year, you Idiot!" Suddenly a young woman about twenty five in a tight leather suit popped out from behind wall, screaming profanities at laughing Luffy.
Luffy suddenly looked like he realized something important and got serious, "Hina, shouldn't you make a grand appearance with the others?"
"Because you didn't introduce our program properly you trash! You ruined our cool moments!" The woman, that Zoro just realized a Blondie, really have an anger management issues judging on his high-pitched scream and from the veins that popped out from her forehead.
"Ahahahaha." Luffy just said sheepishly while rubbing his hair.
"J-just-" The woman struggled to keep her cool in front of the students, in the end she didn't continue her sentence. She walked in long strides towards Luffy then she took a deep long breathe and said in surprisingly deep and authoritative voice, "Since one of our incompetent teacher I hereby take a control to tell you the brief introduction."
She took a big sunglass from her collar and put it on, if Zoro's wild imagination was permitted to say the woman looked like a very hot mistress in the porn film he used to watch. "Good morning! I'm Hina one of your teachers for this class, you can call me either Hina-sensei or Miss Hina anything's fine. Now let's continue the interrupted introduction, as you can see in your schedule there is written that this is a counseling class. It's true in a way, but that was just a disguise for our program that only existed in this school. As of late there are too many criminalities happened in the border between town and North Blue area and more than half of the culprits were high school students. Seeing this phenomena our principal started a program for this high school called X-Agent. This high school will accept any kind of students, in fact one fourth if the population of students in this school was formerly known as convict, who are expelled from their schools because of criminality reason and then we'll train them to be a better person. Now all of you are the people that we categorized as the convicts, some of you really had done something unthinkable that you were expelled from your school, so here you are will be trained to change your bad attitude."
After Hina said the students started to protest and few stood up to demand further explanations of the program. "Shut up all of you." A sound of whip cracked on the floor, somehow the former image of Hina as a mistress in Zoro head became more complete when Hina pulled whip from her belt. Seeing this action the students got quiet, like Luffy, this woman was someone with whom you didn't want to mess up. "Like I said this class is just a disguise for our program, all of you will be divided into smaller group and each group will have one trainer. This is our only meeting, the next one year you'll only be trained by your respected trainer. And we'll meet again before graduation, if we deemed you're eligible enough to pass our training then you can graduate but if you're not then you have to repeat again. And Luffy-" Hina's eyebrow suddenly twitched from annoyance, "STOP EATING WHILE I'M TALKING TO THE CLASS!" Hina delivered a hard punch to Luffy's head.
"Ouch it's hurt Hina," Luffy said while rubbing his fuming head, "I'm just hungry." Luffy pouted.
"There will be time for that, for now why don't you meet the other and prepare yourself too?" Hina said in final tone, seeing this Luffy could only hung his head down and murmured under his breath, but in the end he walked to behind the attic where Hina popped up earlier. Hina nodded in acknowledgement before turning her attention to the students again, "So is there any of you who want to retire from this class?" She said sweetly, "But of course that means you'll be instantly expelled from this school."
After a while there was none who wanted to leave the class, so Hina assumed that everyone were willing to cooperate to undergo the training, "Good choice, because in your state now there won't be a high school that'll accept you." Zoro suddenly hated his woman, not because she dare to threaten him, but because what she said was true, this high school was his last straw, but his high pride wouldn't let him admit that.
"Enough with introduction of our program, we won't waste any more time since we're only given 45 minutes for this." Hina straightened her back and put her hands behind her, standing proudly she said with mischievous and dangerous smile, "Now let's meet your trainer."
Suddenly four uniformed figures emerged from behind the attic, and Zoro shivered upon seeing those figures, it seemed like bad luck still wanted to play with him some more. Zoro cursed under his breath, Shit what the fuck did I get myself into?
TBC
A/N: How was that? I'm very sorry for not updating this story for so long, I've actually finished writing this chapter since two weeks ago, but somehow the file was corrupt and I couldn't open it. So I had to rewrite it again, and knowing how lazy I am it took very long for me to start writing again.
Somehow I was grateful when I had to rewrite this chapter because the plot expanded and I have more new ideas, so yeah I was grateful.
And actually this chapter was split into two parts because it's too long to be one chapter, about 7000 words so I decided to split it, and the second part was 80% finished, I probably can upload it before Monday, and it'll contain a lime. :p
I somehow like this chapter, even though nothing happened (it's just a filler) just a long explanation about X-Agent program, but I like the scene where Luffy was pinned by Kidd and then he beat him up. There are so many fics that put Luffy under the same condition, and (blasted the author) Luffy is always being portrayed so powerless and needs someone to help him. So in here I decided to change it, because LUFFY IS POWERFUL DAMMIT! There I've said it, hope the other authors can realize that. *shrug*
So please leave me a review I guess, to say what you like, or what you didn't, and what could be improved. And maybe if I get many reviews I can upload next chapter faster. :p
See ya!
