it's a nice sunny day in shells town.

the sun is shining. The birds are flying high in the sky. Ax hand Morgan is behind bars. Helmeppo is forced into the marines.

everything is at peace again.

[town pub]

ahhh~. Man, not eating anything for three weeks, I thought I'd be eating my boots laughed Zoro as he is now full to the stomach. I can't believe your already full, lightweight said Luffy still eating.

how the heck are you not full yet? Asked Zoro confused. I always had a big appetite. But ever since I ate the gum gum fruit, my appetite grew bigger said Luffy still eating.

I see. By the way, how many? Asked Zoro. How many what? Asked Luffy confused.

you said your in the middle of forming a crew of pirates, so how many do ya have so far? Asked Zoro. Oh that, so far your the first to join my crew said Luffy still eating.

so I'm the first huh?. Very well then, I guess there's nothing wrong with me as vice captain. So what do we call ourselves? Asked Zoro.

I haven't decided on a name for us yet said Luffy.

of course ya haven't, why am I not surprised said Zoro.

as Zoro relaxes in his chair and Luffy keeps eating. Coby decides to speak up.

hey Luffy, can I ask you something? Asked Coby.

sure, what's up? Asked Luffy.

I know you say you're going to be king of the pirates someday, but... have you ever thought about taking it slow? Asked Coby.

what do you mean? Asked Luffy.

I mean, your moving to fast, you need to slow down and think things through. Not many pirates are like you, plus you fight for others. Maybe... said Coby before thinking to himself.

maybe what? Asked Luffy confused.

tell me Luffy, have you ever heard, of the warlord system? Asked Coby.

the what? Asked Luffy confused even more.

it's a system, where pirates around the world help the marines and the world government take down evil pirates. They may be pirates, but they are helping to end evil from the world said Coby.

really?, there's those types of pirates to? Asked Luffy surprised by this.

yeah, they're famous. They are very strong in their own way. I know this might be crazy... but, how about you join the warlord system? Asked Coby.

sure thing, I'll join said Luffy getting excited. Really? Asked Coby happy to hear this.

yeah, it might even be fun said Luffy smiling.

just like that the marines showed up.

hello, I'm marine Lieutenant Ripper. I hear you people are pirates, is that true? Asked Ripper.

yeah, and me and my friend Coby just got done talking about me joining the warlord system said Luffy.

I see. If you are planning to join the warlord system, as well becoming the 8th warlord to join. Then you must give us a reason to let you join said Ripper.

a few days ago, Luffy saved me from slavery from the Alvida pirates. He even helped me follow my dreams of becoming a marine like you lot said Coby.

I see. In that case welcome to the marines young man. What's your name? Asked Ripper.

it's Coby sir said Coby.

very well Coby from this day forward, you'll be a marine. I'll have to make a few arrangements, but you'll be part of the marines.

as for you, Luffy was it? Asked Ripper.

yep, I'm monkey D Luffy said Luffy smiling.

very well then. For saving our new recruit, you'll be joining the warlord system...

however, you attacked a marine, as punishment, you'll have a bounty on your head. It'll be frozen after words, but you'll have it said Ripper.

ok, i guess that's fair. By the way, if ya can, see to it that my grandpa knows about this said Luffy.

I see, who's your grandpa? Asked Ripper.

sisisi, it's monkey D Garp said Luffy smiling.

just like that, Ripper's eyes widened in shock. Garp?!...

your the grandson... of Garp the fist?! Asked Ripper in complete shock.

yep said Luffy.

who's Garp the fist? Asked Zoro confused.

he's the world's most powerful marine. He faced gold Roger countless times. And that's before he became king of the pirates said Coby.

seriously?, you mean this guy face the old pirate king, and survived?... Luffy, your grandpa must be pretty strong said Zoro.

he is, he almost killed me countless times to said Luffy remembering his childhood growing up under Garp's rule.

you have my full support. You'll be a warlord in no time young man. Welcome to the warlord system said Ripper.

alright, best get going then. Can't wait to find more people to join my crew said Luffy.

of course sir, please enjoy your next trip. As for you Coby, you should go with him said Ripper.

how come sir? Asked Coby confused.

someone has to keep him under control. Why not you? Asked Ripper.

oh, I see. Ok, I'll try sir saluted Coby.

very good. Ok we'll hand over a ship for you, hope you like it said Ripper.

just like that Luffy and the others left the pub and waited for their new ride.


After waiting, they saw a big ship coming to the docks.

woooow, it's huge said Luffy amazed by its size.

it's a older model, but it's got strength in it. It was ax Morgan's, but he never used it said Ripper.

looks like we have a real ship, best not break it said Zoro smiling.

many thanks Lieutenant Ripper it's perfect said Coby.

thanks, as for you Coby. I here by rank you as marine first class. It's not much, but I hope it'll do said Ripper.

of course, thanks said Coby tearing up a bit.

just like that the group hears a familiar voice coming.

but they'll kill me!, think about it came a voice.

the voice belonged to none other, than Helmeppo.

calm down Helmeppo, Their not going to. They're just going to make you pay for your crimes as Morgan's son said a Marine soldier.

what's he doing here? Asked Zoro giving off murder vibes.

he's going to be the ship's cleaner said Ripper.

oh, ok said Luffy and Zoro without caring about it to much.

are you sure about this sir? Asked Coby.

indeed, if he stayed here, he'd end up being killed in his sleep.

it's for the better said Ripper.

I see, in that case, welcome aboard Helmeppo said Coby.

shut up. You're just a kid playing marine, you don't know anything about being a real marine! Yelled Helmeppo.

quite, you have no right to speak to your new boss. So show some respect said Ripper.

can we go yet, I'm antsy about sailing again said Luffy.

of course Luffy, let's go guys said Coby as he walked onboard his first ship.

and just like that, Luffy and group set sail to the open ocean.

Luffy was running around the ship excited.

Zoro was getting his sea legs back in order.

Coby was at the helm navigating the open sea.

as for Helmeppo...

I can't believe I have to live like this... I deserve better said Helmeppo.

what you deserve, is my foot up your ass for that lie you pulled on me said Zoro.

what do you know "pirates"?. Your all the same said Helmeppo.

not really, I'm a man of honor. And for your information, I'm vice captain of this small pirate crew. I may not know much about being a pirate, but I think some kindness is needed said Zoro before taking off his boots and throwing them near Helmeppo.

which reminds me. I haven't had a good clean of my boots since I was tied up. How about you do your new thing said Zoro.

just like that, out of fear. Helmeppo cleaned Zoro's boots.

this is so cool, my first ship, and I'm a marine as well. This is the best day of my life said Coby.

hey Coby, any idea where Luffy is? Asked Zoro.

I think he's below deck said Coby.

ok, just checking said Zoro before heading down to rest for now.

thus began the beginning of a new journey.
