Hi y'all, as you can see, I've decided to return.

I was thinking, why not retry this to see how far it can go.

I'm just so bored of losing motivation, that I'm trying to make up for it by rewriting this pirate Coby storyline.

hope ya like it.

it's a nice sunny day in shells town. The sun is out, the birds are flying high in the sky. The wind blows freely.

"ax hand' Morgan" is behind bars. Helmeppo is forced into the marines. The people of shells town, are finally free. Peace is back.

[town pub]

ahhh~. Man, not eating anything for three weeks, I thought I'd be eating my boots said Zoro.

I can't believe your already full, lightweight said Luffy still eating.

how in the hell can you still be eating this much? 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, much be hard on the others said Zoro.

the others? Asked Luffy stopped eating out of confusion.

you did say your looking for a strong crew, by the way, how many people you got besides me? Asked Zoro.

just you so far said Luffy pointing to Zoro.

hold up, you mean I'm the first member of your crew? Asked Zoro in shock.

yep said Luffy as he returns to eating.

at least tell me you have a ship said Zoro hoping for a ship.

sorry, we got a boat said Luffy eating.

I'm afraid he's right. We came by boat, and now that we've saved the people of this island, we'll be leaving by it now said Coby.

we?... i thought you wanted to be a marine? Asked Zoro confused.

I did, but after witnessing Morgan showing that not all marines are good people, I was wondering if it's ok with you two, if I tag along until I find my place in the world said Coby.

sure, you can tag along. But ya got to be strong while you're with us, ok Coby? Asked Luffy still eating.

thanks Luffy, your the best said Coby.

sisisi, thanks. I try laughed Luffy.

just like that, the marines showed up.

hello, I'm marine Lieutenant Ripper. I hear you lot are pirates. Is this true? Asked Ripper.

yep, it's just me, and Zoro. Coby is just tagging along until he finds his new place in the world said Luffy smiled peacefully.

I see. As thanks for saving us from Morgan, we will not report you to marine HQ. However, you are pirates. So I must ask you to please leave at once said Ripper.

seems fair, I guess I had enough for now. Let's go you two said Luffy.

Luffy was the first to exit the pub. Zoro followed behind his captain.

Coby followed but stopped to salute to Ripper.

I hope you make a better leader than Morgan sir said Coby saluted before leaving.

[at the docks]

as the three get onboard the boat and sail away. Zoro begins asking a serious question.

so where to next? Asked Zoro.

simple, to the grand line said Luffy.

sorry to say this Luffy, but you need more people before heading for the grand line. Plus you don't have a real ship, nor enough supplies for the journey. I'm not going to the grand line, but I'll help you find a strong enough crew to head there with. It's the least I can do said Coby.

If ya say so Coby, alright, time to find a strong crew, a big enough ship, and enough supplies to last for a long journey said Luffy.

seems fine by me said Zoro.

look out world, cause I'm going to be king of the pirates said Luffy.

you seem very dead set on becoming king of the pirates. Is there a reason for it? Asked Zoro.

not really, it's just... I made a promise to someone back then, that I'd form a strong crew, head to the grand line, and become king of the pirates. And this straw hat, knows the whole story said Luffy.

I'm sure you'll be able to keep your promise Luffy. I hope you find what you're looking for, as you find one piece said Coby.

sisisi, thanks, it means a lot coming from a friend said Luffy smiling happily.

just like that, they're off.
