Chapter 3: Year-long trip

Timeskip: Eight months later

It has been eight months since Luffy had recently joined Fairy Tail, he began to have a very close relationship with Natsu and Gray, almost like brothers, even Lisanna saw him as an older brother, and the usual cold Mirajane started warming up to him. Meanwhile, Luffy was sitting at a table in the guild hall doing his usual thing…EATING UP A FRICKIN' STORM. He was chomping on a large piece of meat with his left hand, and stretched his right hand and began to swipe some food off of the mages' plates.

"What the?!" Wakaba yelled in surprise. Luffy stretched his hand again and took Gray's food. "OI LUFFY! NOT COOL MAN!" Gray yelled in annoyance. Luffy stretched his hand and took Elfman's food. "LUFFY! IT'S NOT MANLY TO STEAL PEOPLE'S FOOD!" Elfman shouted while pumping his fist in the air

"LUFFY!" A loud voice bellowed and the mages'(except Luffy) turn to see natsu charging at Luffy with his fists on fire. "FIGHT ME!-

BONK!

Luffy conked Natsu right in the face with his right fist, sending him through several tables and crashes into the wall. "Fan't, mayfe later Natsu." Luffy answered with his mouth full, then he continued eating. "Geez Flame-Brain, when are you gonna learn that you can't beat Luffy." Gray sighed while shaking his head. "WHAT WAS THAT YOU DUMB POPSICLE?!" Natsu roared as he got in Gray's face. "YOU WANNA FIGHT FIRE CLOWN?!" Gray screamed. "BRING IT ON FROST QUEEN!

SMASH!"

Their fight was cut short by a giant hand, which of course belonged to Makrov. His hand shrunk back to normal size and walked towards Luffy. "Luffy." Makrov called out, getting Luffy's attention. "Oh hey gramps, what's up?" he asked. "May I speak with you privately in my office?" Luffy took a last bite of his meat before saying.

"Sure, no problem." Luffy replied plainly as he stood up and followed him to Makrov's office, as they arrived there, Makrov locked the office door and hopped onto his desk. "Luffy, have a seat." Makrov told him, he did as he was told.

"Now, you told me that you're from another world, am I correct?" Makrov questioned. "Yeah." Luffy replied simply. "Well, I would like for you to tell me what happened to you back there." Makrov explained. "Sure! I'm happy to tell ya, but it's a long story so it might take a while!" Luffy answered with his trademark grin. "Don't worry Luffy, take as much time as you need." Makrov insisted with a raised hand, earning a nod from Luffy. "Okay, here we go." Luffy starts to tell him about his journey, starting from the very beginning when he got his hat from Red Haired Shanks….

In the guild hall( During Luffy's story)…

"DAMN IT GRAY! LET GO!" Natsu yelled in annoyance as Gray held his scarf while Natsu was running. "AYE! WE WANNA HEAR WHAT LUFFY'S TALKING ABOUT!" Happy wailed as his tail was being held, Gray sighed before saying. "Listen, I'm just as curious as you two are, but we can't just eavesdrop on e'm and be all up in his business." Gray reasoned. "BUT WE'RE BROTHERS GRAY!" Natsu roared. "Well I'm more concerned of when he's gonna come out." Canna deadpanned as she chugged down on a large barrel of liquor. "Yeah! I've got a score to settle with him!" Mira declared while cracking her knuckles.

"Umm, Mira-ne…didn't Luffy-nii already beat you?" Lisanna asked innocently, making flashbacks appear in Mira's head of her miserable defeat to the rubber boy that happened eight months ago. "S-SHUT UP! THAT WAS BEFORE! I AIN'T GONNA LOSE AGAIN!" Mira yelled in pride and embarrassment, making Lisanna sweat drop and sigh. "I wonder what the Master's discussing with Luffy-nii?" She thought curiously as she stared at the office door.

Makrov's office…

…"Then I end up here." Luffy said, finished with all the adventures he head through East Blue, Paradise, and The New World.

Makrov was amazed at all the amazing things that Luffy and his crew accomplished in their journey, such as saving four different countries, saving an entire ocean, ending three Civil Wars, and breaking into three of their World Government's most highly fortified facilities, Luffy doing it twice. Makrov looked at Luffy with complete respect at how he and his crew accomplished those feats whenever they're in trouble, not even an S-class wizard could accomplish that. "Luffy, thank you for telling me everything that has happened to you and everything you know about your world." Makrov said getting back on topic, earning a grin from Luffy. "Now that I know all of this, I have one more question." Luffy's grin turns into a confused look.

"What's that?" Luffy questioned. "What are you going to do now?" Makrov asked the young pirate captain. "Well, now that you've mentioned it, since I'm gonna stay here till' I get back to my world, I'm gonna be leaving for a while and get stronger in order to find my friends." Luffy stated simply. "I see, how long will you be gone?" Makrov asked.

"I dunno, maybe a half a year." Luffy answered with a shrug. Makrov nodded. "Very well then, follow me." Makrov led Luffy upstairs to the second floor where all the century quests, decade quests, and double S-class quests were held up on the request board. "Luffy, a century quest is a quest that has been available for hundreds of years because no person was able to complete it." Makrov trailed off, earning a surprised look from Luffy. "Woah! Really?!" Luffy exclaimed in amazement. "Why yes, the decade quest is the same except it has been ten years of incompletion. The SS-class quests are the leats dangerous out of the two, but there is still the risk of death. The S-class missions will be too easy for you, so I want you to take your pick out of the quests I have here, I want you to complete one of them that you think you can handle."

"Can I take all of e'm?" Luffy aksed. "I'm not comfortable with it, but considering the feats that you and your crew have accomplished, I think you can handle these quests." Luffy stretched his arm and grabbed three of the quests. "Just be careful my boy, and good luck to you."

Luffy grinned. "Thanks gramps! I'll be back as soon as I can." Luffy headed out the door and rushed down stairs, but was stopped by Natsu and Happy. "Hey Luffy, where ya heading?" Natsu asked. "Is it a quest?" Happy asked. "Yeah, see ya later guys!"

"Do you need help?" Happy asked. "Nah, I think I can finish this on my own. I'm gonna be gone about half a year but I'll be back." Luffy said with a grin. Natsu looked confused, but Happy voiced what both of them thought. "Why are you going to be gone half a year? What quests did you pick?" Luffy pulled out the three quests that made Natsu and Happy's eyes bulge out of their sockets. "WHY DO YOU HAVE THESE QUESTS?! You're not gonna do e'm are ya?!" Happy spattered. "Yeah! And like I said I'll be back, see ya!" Luffy said happily as he ran out the exit. Natsu ran to find Makrov, finding him sitting at the bar. "GRAMPS! WHY THE HELL DID YOU GIVE LUFFY A CENTURY QUETS. A DECADE QUEST. AND AN SS-CLASS QUEST?! HE'S GONNA GET HIMSLEF KILLED!" Natsu roared in anger, everyone in the guild gasped in shock. "Master, don't tell me you didn't." Lisanna stammered in shock. "Luffy insisted on it. He can take care of himself, he's stronger than you think." Makrov replied

"What the hell were you thinking gramps?! I know that Straw hats' strong, but he won't survive a day on those quests!" Mira shouted in both anger and worry, earning a sigh from Makrov.

"He'll be fine, we just need to have faith in him." Makrov said.

With Luffy…

A few months has passed since Luffy had left Fairy Tail on his year long trip. He was walking in the forest while rubbing his growling stomach and moaned in hunger. "Uuuggh, so hungry." Luffy whined as his stomach began to growl louder and louder. He then pulled out the decade quest while still having a hungry look on his face.

"Okay, I'll start off with the monster thingy, one I kick its ass, I'll eat it." Luffy said while drooling with delight as multiple images appeared in his head of him eating massive amounts of meat stacked up high as a mountain. His thoughts were cut off by a loud trembling roar that was coming from the town, Luffy ran towards the town that the monster use to terrorized. When he got there, he found it completely deserted. He stops in front of the monster that has been causing havoc, it was at least tall as a mountain and it was green. It had glowing red eyes, three horns on its head that was at least six feet long, along with razor sharp fangs and claws. Luffy then stared at it with a blank expression.

"So you're the scary looking monster that had been trashing the town? You're not as scary looking as I thought you were." Luffy said plainly. The monster then roared and swiped Luffy with his right claw, Luffy's hat shadows his eyes and dodges the sloppy attack with ease. Luffy then began to counter by stretching his arm far back.

"GOMU-GOMU NO…PISTOL!" Luffy shouted as he counters with a powerful straight punch to the monsters jaw, sending it tumble back. The monster then backs and tends to sweep Luffy of his feet with its tail. But Luffy jumped high in the air to evade the attack and stretches his leg upward.

"GUM-GUM…STOMP!" Luffy bellowed as he delivered a devastating foot stomp on the monster head, creating a shockwave and breaking its horns in half.

"GOMU-GOMU NO….GATTLING!" Luffy howled as he delivers a flurry of outstretched punches aiming toward the monster, possibly breaking a few bones due to his fists being coated in armament Haki. As the smoke cleared up, it revealed that the monster was in pretty bad shape, luffy then landed in front of it as it struggled to get back up.

"You're a tough one ain't ya? But now it's time to end this." Luffy said with a serious look as he raised his arm up halfway. "GEAR-SECOND." Luffy muttered as his arms and legs pumped up, turning his skin bright punk and making steam come off of it. The monster fully recovered and charged at Luffy with a roar.

"GOMU-GOMU NO…" Luffy then disappears out of the monsters sight, making it search for him. Then the monster felt a massive impact at the back of its head. "JET PISTOL!" Luffy roared as he delivers a wicked punch moving at blitzing speed toward the monsters head, knocking it to the ground unconscious along with shattering it's sharp fangs. Luffy landed in front of the monster, turned back to normal before taking a deep breath

"Well that was fun! Now to cook this monster up for dinner!" Luffy said happily as he grabbed the monster by the tail and started to drag it. He then stopped in his tracks as he sensed other people with his Observation Haki. Then the pople started hugging each other and celebrating over the monsters defeat. The man ran up to him before saying.

"Thank you kind sir! If it wasn't for you, the monster would've killed us all!" The man thanked with a bow, earning a grin from Luffy.

"No problem! It's what I do!" Luffy chuckled. Then a woman walked up to him before syaing

"Is there anything we can do to repay you?" She asked with a warm smile, hoping they could do something for the rubber boy. Before Luffy could say anything, a loud growl interrupted the, making them silent. "WHAT WAS THAT?!" Another man yelled in panic. "Sorrry, that was me, guess I'm hungry." Luffy said with a sheepish grin, earning a sweat drop from the people. "Okay then! WE SHALL PREPARE A FEAST!" The man declared loudly, making them cheer out.

Few hours later…

As the feats began, Luffy was gobbling down massive amounts of meat that came from the monster he slain, making the people stare at him with shock. He then began stretching his arms and started to steal peoples's food, making some of them yell at him, this was the day where Luffy's search for his crew really bagan.
