This story is an Alternate Universe so I only want reviews of how it is instead of how it's suppose to follow the Anime.
And for those who are wondering about the reviews I deleted the entire story and reloaded it with the corrections, I hope the readers don't get angry with me.
Chapter 4 : Dreams
As the two crew members reached a rock in the ocean they noticed that a whirlpool was beside it.
"Luffy we're in Alvida's territory now.," Nami informed her captain, "I have no doubt that you'll be able to handle her and her crew, but what about me."
Luffy wasn't paying attention to her as he saw a cruise ship near the whirlpool.
"Nami, board Alvida's ship when she attacks," Luffy stated looking at her, "most of her crew will probably board the cruise ship for a raid, making their defenses weak." He then went in the ship and came out with an empty barrel from the galley, "I'll be in here, the crew will most likely think it's some sort of wine barrel and pull me aboard." he then put the barrel on the edge of the boat and jumped in, "push me off once you hammer it closed."
Nami saw that there was some logic to what her captain was saying, but she was wondering why he was using this barrel. She then hammered it closed.
"Nami," Luffy called out before she pushed him off, "I want you to get their treasure, at the moment we're short on beli and we need to pay for some food."
"Gotcha," Nami responded as she pushed the barrel off. "Just remember to be careful."
"I will," Luffy yelled to her. He then said to himself, "I may as well get some sleep, this may take a bit of time," and he fell asleep.
About an hour later some men on the cruise ship saw the barrel Luffy was in and threw a rope to try and hook it. After a few tries they finally got the barrel and pulled it up. After the barrel was up cannon fire shook the ship and Luffy rolled into the galley of the cruise ship.
Nami took the oppotunity to approach Alvida's ship, making sure not to be seen.
Aboard Alvida's ship, "Coby."
"H... hai," a boy around fourteen with glasses and pink hair answered nervously.
"Who is the most beautiful woman in the ocean?" she asked threateningly.
'Not her,' Nami thought as she was looking at a wanted poster of Alvida.
"It's the captain of this ship of course," Coby answered still nervous, "you Alvida-sama."
'She really must be something scary to get her crew to admit something like that,' Nami thought as she latched the boat to Alvida's.
Alvida then started laughing. She then hit the end of her club on her ship, "Well said."
"Arigatou gozaimasu!" Coby responded nervously.
"Alvida-sama, it's been a while hasn't it?" a crew member said with obvious less fear than Coby.
Alvida then looked to the crew member, "Indeed it has! Now pull alongside the ship!" she commanded.
And her crew yelled in response, and fired another cannonball.
'Definitely frightenning,' Nami though as she saw Alvida's backside. Easy to tell because she had the club and was the only female in the crew. 'Must not want any competition,' she thought holding back a snicker.
The cannonball fired hitting the mast of the cruise ship.
When the pirate ship reached the cruise ship Alvida's men threw some grappling hooks to the cruise ship.
"Men!" Alvida commanded, "Show them the power of Iron-club Alvida!" she finished swing her club. And they ran across the ropes and some were swinging across.
Coby hesitated swinging across.
"Coby," Alvida said, "What are you doing?"
'Is she always in a bad mood?' Nami thought to herself.
"I..." Coby studdered, "I'm not used to this..."
"You dare talk back to me?" she responded approaching him.
Nami used this chance to finish climbing on board and hide.
"Please, anything but the iron club!" Coby responded in fear.
"Then hurry up and get going!" she ordered and kicked him to the cruise ship.
Coby hit his face in a wall.
Alvida then jumped up with her club readied to strike and hit the cabin she kicked coby into, with too much force she fell herself.
Nami took this chance to find Alvida's treasure. As she was dressed in an outfit similar to Alvida's crew she easily distracted the guard enough to used some Marine maneuver against him, "Thank you Okaa-san," she said to herself.
In the galley of the cruise ship Luffy started to rouse in his sleep, but not enough to wake him up.
"Hello?" Coby asked as he peeked into the room. "There's no one here, right..." he stated still cautious as he entered the room. "Thank goodness." He then noticed a large barrel among the others, "That's a pretty big barrel."
He then moved the barrel and started to roll it to the door. When he was almost there some more crew members walked in.
"Hey you coward!" one of the crew said, "Are you hiding and doing nothing again?"
"Not at all!" Coby said with his hands up defensively. "I was moving this wine barrel for Alvida-sama..."
The guy laughed, "We'll help lighten your load."
"We're thirsty," the guy behind him said.
"No way!" Coby stated, "If Alvida-sama finds out, you'll be killed."
"It'll be fine if you keep your mouth shut," the last man said. "Right, Coby?
"Yeah, that's true..." Coby responded nevously.
The first guy then adjusted the barrel and put it down rousing Luffy again but still not enough. "It's pretty heavy," he said.
"I can't wait!" the second one said.
"Don't be so greedy," the first guy said cracking his knuckles. "I'm going to smash it open right now."
It was the guys cracking knuckles that roused Luffy enough to wake him up.
The guy raised his fist and started punching downward when Luffy broke open the top and punched the guy while stretching and yawning.
"WHAT A GREAT NAAAAP!" Luffy yelled happily. When he finished yawning he looked to his right and noticed the guy on the floor, "What the?"
The other two looked at him completely shocked.
"What are you guys doing?" Luffy asked.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" the two demanded.
"You know you should really help your friend," Luffy said while getting out of the barrel. "He'll catch a cold if he's not woken up soon."
"It's your fault!" the two responded.
The third guy held his sword in front of Luffy, "You bastard," he said. "Stop screwing around. Don't you know we're pirates?"
"I know but at the moment I'm really hungry, got any..." Luffy stated.
"Listen to what I'm saying!" the guy demanded.
"You brat!" the other one said. And they both raised their swords.
Coby gasped and Luffy turned around slightly.
"DIE!" the two said.
Coby covered his eyes and Luffy finished turning around.
And when the swords hit him the ends broke off and embedded into the ceiling.
Coby then looked when Luffy was still standing and the two men were holding their broken swords babbling.
"I wouldn't try that again if I were you," Luffy stated.
"W... whao are you?" the first guy asked.
"Me?" Luffy asked, "I'm Monkey D. Luffy. And if you don't want to be hurt by your captain, then you'd better report this with your crew member in check," he stated pointing his thumb to the unconcious guy while grinning.
And the two men ran out yelling while dragging their comrade with them.
"What... what just happenned?" Coby asked.
Luffy then turned around, "You must be apart of Alvida's crew too considering we're on her ship."
"Well actually we're on the cruise ship," Coby stated. He then told him, "Hurry up and run! When they come back with their friends, you'll be killed!"
"No worries," Luffy stated, "Besides I'm hungry."
"How can you say that so calmly!" Coby half asked.
Luffy was sniffing and walking in the direction the smell was coming from.
"There's alot if pirates on the deck!" Coby stated.
"No problem," Luffy stated, "I can handle them and Alvida." He then started walking in the direction of the smell..
Coby was trying to pull him back, "Don't go that way," Coby demanded, "Wait! You're going the wrong way!"
And Luffy entered the cellar of the ship, "Well, this should hold me until we get to an Island."
"I'm Coby, and you're Luffy-san, right?" Coby asked as Luffy was engorging himself. He then started walking toward Luffy, "That was amazing back there. How'd you do that?"
"These apple are delicious," Luffy stated not paying attention to Coby's word.
"Earlier you said 'until we get to an island'," Coby stated. "Are you planning on taking me with you?" he asked hopefully.
"That's not what I meant," Luffy stated, "My navigator is raiding Alvida's treasure hold, she has quite a bit of skills as a thief. Mostly she practiced on me and Ace."
"Oh," Coby's hopes dropped. He then asked, "Luffy-san, why were you in a barrel?"
"I figured I'd take Alvida by surprise," Luffy stated. "Nami can handle a ship better than I can."
"Is this Nami the navigator you were talking about?" Coby then asked.
"LUFFY!" a voice called out.
"Nami," Luffy said alarmed. He then grabbed Coby and jumped up punching through the ceiling.
At the same time with Alvida...
Alvida was watching her crew load the treasure when she heard some yelling.
Then the two men from before came up from the galley, "Alvida-sama!"
She turned around irritated.
"There's a problem," they said in unison.
"What is it?" Alvida demanded. "You're so noisy."
"The barrel was..." one said. And the other said, "A monster!"
Alvida then heard them and demanded while throwing her club, "Who's a monster?" and hit one of her men, knocking out of the boat and quite a distance. The club then landed on the head of the other two.
"That's not it... a wierd person came out of a barrel..." the one on her left said. "He might be a bounty hunter."
"What?" she stated. She then noticed one of the doors to her ship open.
With Nami...
Nami had finished wrapping up all of the treasures that formerly belonged to Alvida. She started pulling them out of the tresure hold and made sure that no one was in sight before exiting. Unfortunately she didn't notice that not only was she in Alvida's, but Alvida also noticed her.
Alvida then jumped from the cruise ship and on board her own.
It was when Alvida landed that Nami started to get nervous.
"And who are you?" Alvida demanded.
"Just someone who sees and opportunity," Nami stated.
"Well it looks like your luck is out," Alvida said raising her club, "Goodbye."
"LUFFY!" Nami shouted.
A few seconds later a crash came from the other ship, and Luffy was standing on deck with Coby under his arm.
"And who are you?" Alvida said her attention now on Luffy.
"Alvida-sama," one of the men from before said, "That's the weird man."
"Oi, Alvida," Luffy stated looking at her. "What were you planning on doing to my navigator?"
"Men get him," Alvida stated. And the crew charged.
Luffy just readied his stance and spun his body around, "Coby, you may want to duck." He then stretched his arms out and spun the other way, "Gomu Gomu no Pinwheel," and he struck everyone charging at him.
Coby ducked down just in time for Luffy's attack not to hit him.
"So, the rumor about those government experiments were true," Alvida said as she landed on the other ship. "You were apart of Project Devil Fruit. And now you're a hammer in water."
"Yeah," Luffy stated. "I ate the Gomu Gomu fruit, and now I'm a rubberman." Luffy then looked at Coby, "As a pirate and Captain I won't allow you to hurt my Nakama."
"So you two are pirates huh," Alvida stated.
"Yeah," Luffy stated. "I'm going to be the Pirate King. And get the world's ultimate treasure, One Piece."
"And how do you expect to do such a thing?" Alvida stated.
"It's my dream, and I made a promise," Luffy responded, "and I'll die if I have to, as long as I do it fulfilling them both. And a fat woman like you won't stop me."
At that remark Nami started to laugh.
Alvida in a fit of rage tried to hit Luffy only to hit the ship when he jumped. To calm herself down she asked, "Coby, Who's the most beautiful woman on the see?"
"Y.. Y..," Coby then looked at Luffy and then said with utmost confidence, "It's not and ugly old hag like you. I'll live out my dream to catch villianous people like you, even if I have to join the Marines."
At that remark Nami was rolling on the deck while Luffy was laughing along with her.
And with that final remark Alvida snapped and swung her club downward at Coby.
Luffy stepped in and took the blow full force on the head, "That attack doesn't affect rubber," Luffy stated and hit the club off his head and stretched his arm for an attack. "Gomu Gomu no," and his arm came back with great force, "Pistol," and he punched Alvida right in the stomach, sending her flying off the ship.
"Luffy, we should get going," Nami yelled as she noticed the Marine ships. They fired at Alvida's ship.
"You want to come with us?" Luffy asked Coby. "We're headed to a Marine base anyway."
"I don't have a choice," Coby admitted, "I'll be arrested if I stay here."
"Then let's get going," Luffy yelled and he jumped onto Alvida's ship with Coby under his arm he then grabbed the treasure and jumped onto his own boat.
"Nami, jump down," Luffy stated, "It's faster."
"Okay," Nami stated, "but you better catch me." And she jumped right off of Alvida's ship.
Luffy just smiled and caught in a bridal style position. They just stared at each other as Nami looked into Luffy's eyes.
"Um," Coby said interrupting, "If we don't get going, we'll be caught."
"Right," Luffy said putting Nami down. He then unhooked his ship from Alvida's and ordered, "Nami, do you know where the Marine base is?"
"I took a few of Alvida's maps," Nami answered, "so it shouldn't be a problem finding it."
"Luffy-san," Coby said, "I'm grateful that you're taking me there but why are you going there."
"I'm going to make the Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro one of my Nakama," he admitted, shocking Coby. "Besides, Morgan has the map to the Grand Line."
"I understand the map," Coby stated. "But making Zoro one of your Nakama, he'll kill you the first chance he gets."
"I doubt that," Luffy told him, "Zoro is probably hunting pirates for the bounties to eat. Being a wandering swordsman isn't a paying job."
"I agree with Luffy," Nami admitted. "No one would hunt pirates for no reason."
"But still I don't think he'll join," Coby said. "It's impossible."
Nami then hit him over the head.
"Why'd you do that?" Coby demanded.
"Because with Luffy, things aren't as impossible as they seem," Nami answered. "You saw his demonstration earlier."
"I'll be the Pirate King with or without Zoro," Luffy stated proudly. "Because it's a dream and a promise."
And they sailed in the direction of the Marine base, prepared for anything they might face.
End of Chapter
I know, kind of corny and some stuff from the anime, but I had to put Coby and Alvida into the story somehow. Anyway sorry again for the deleted reviews, but it doesn't mean I don't want them anymore. R&R
