it's a nice sunny day in the east blue. The sun is out. The seagulls are flying. The weather is nice. Everything is ok.

'ahhh~. What a nice day, who knew this day would end badly?'. Said Luffy smiling as his boat is being sucked into a giant whirlpool.

'there's nobody around to help me get out, I guess I'll just hide in this barrel until I make land. Hopefully it'll survive that long'. Said Luffy as he gets inside said barrel for protection.

as the giant whirlpool destroys the small boat, miraculously, the barrel Luffy ended up in survived and began sailing to an unknown island.


[goat island]

on said island, a pirate ship is docked at a cliff, the pirate ship is pink with a white duck figurehead, and hearts. It's pirate flag was that of a skull facing left, has a red heart on in, along with cross bones in the back.

this was the flag, of the Alvida Pirates. Lead by the infamous "iron club" Alvida.

'Coby!, who's the most beautiful, in the seas?!'. Asked Alvida with evil in her voice. Alvida, is a fat ugly woman, with an iron spike club.

'that'd be you, Lady Alvida'. Said Coby in fear. Coby is a young 16 year old boy, with pink hair and has glasses.

'were it not for your knowledge of navigation, you'd be dead by now. Other then that, your nothing but worthless, hahaha!!'. Laughed Alvida evilly.

hearing this, Coby try's to hide his tears.

'go wash the storage house, and be fast about it!!'. Ordered Alvida in a rude manner.

just like that Coby ran to get the job done.


[a few minutes afterwards]

after cleaning the storage house, Coby spotted a barrel on the beach. Walked to it, he has a hard time moving it be ends up making it to the wine house.

'what's that?, a barrel washed up on the beach?'. Asked pirate 1.

'that's right, thought it'd be best brought here'. Said Coby.

'great timing, i was getting thirsty'. Said pirate 2.

'ya saw nothing, right boy?'. Asked pirate 3 in a threatening tone.

'saw what?, i seen nothing strange today, hehehe'. Laughed Coby out of fear.

just like that, Luffy popped out of the barrel with his arms out.

'AHHHH!!. I, SLEPT, SOOOO, GREEAAAT!!'. Yelled Luffy to the heavens.

just like that, Luffy saw four strangers in front of him.

'who the hell are you guys?'. Asked Luffy.

'who the hell are you!'. yelled the three pirates together.

'why were you in the barrel?!, who are ya brat?'. Asked pirate 1.

'STOP SLACKING OFF, YOU FOOLS!!'. Came Alvida's roaring voice.

just like that, the whole wine house is destroyed by Alvida's iron spiked club.

Luffy along with the barrel he was still in, started to roll away far from the destroyed house.

Coby then began to run and followed the rolling barrel with Luffy in it.

'you three!!. Who's the most beautiful in the seas?!?!'. Asked Alvida in a bad mood.

'it's you captain!!'. Said the three on the ground.

'good, so tell me, why did you three rest on the job?!?!'. Demanded Alvida.

'what??, we weren't asleep'. Said pirate 3 in fear.

'don't lie to me!!, I could hear you yelling how you slept so great'. Said Alvida.

'that's right!, we got an invader here'. Said pirate 3.

'that right, some guy hiding in a barrel Coby brought to us'. Said pirate 1.

'what's this?, a bounty hunter maybe??. Who dares to come here?'. Asked Alvida in raged.

'could it be... "him"?'. Asked pirate 2.

'that's crazy!, he's still locked up at shells town'. Said pirate 1.

'but if it is, then he must of escaped by now. The infamous roronoa Zoro'. Said Alvida.


[somewhere in the forest]

'um, are you ok sir?'. Asked Coby hoping for life.

'yeah, I'm fine, just surprised by the blast is all. I'm monkey D Luffy, where is this place?'. Asked Luffy as he gets out.

'this is goat island, the hiding place of the Alvida Pirates'. Said Coby.

'I'm a slave in the crew, name's Coby'. Said Coby.

'the Alvida Pirates ya say, are they strong?'. Asked Luffy.

'more or less, but the strongest person is the captain'. Said Coby.

'and who's that?'. Asked Luffy.

'surly you jest'. Said Coby.

'nope, I'm serious'. Said Luffy.

'the captain is best known, as "iron club" Alvida. You know, the strongest female pirate, in all the east blue'. Said Coby.

'the strongest ya say?, that means she's got to be really strong right?'. Asked Luffy smiling.

'indeed. She's best remembered by the fact, she carry's a iron spike club with her. She's got a lot of strength in her'. Said Coby in fear.

how big is her crew??'. Asked Luffy.

'she has 50 men in her crew, along with me as navigator'. Said Coby.

'i see, and her bounty?'. Asked Luffy.

'it's 5,000,000 berries'. Said Coby.

'that low?, is she a rookie like me??'. Asked Luffy confused.

'what do you mean, like you?'. Asked Coby confused.

'I'm aiming to be king of the pirates'. Said Luffy smiling with pride.

'what??, but you can't, the one piece is to dangerous to find, nobody's got a chance so far'. Said Coby in fear of the one piece treasure.

'don't worry, i can handle it, I'm strong'. Said Luffy happily.

'but your just one man right?'. Asked Coby.

'for now yes, but I'll find my crew, along the way I'm forming a lot of partnerships to help along the way'. Said Luffy.

'but wait, how will you be doing that?'. Asked Coby confused.

'simple, I'll just find a way. I decided long ago, that I'd fight for my dreams, and if i die along the way, then I'll die'. Said Luffy showing no fear.

hearing this Coby thought to himself.

'i see, hey Luffy, do you think i can follow my dreams to?'. Asked Coby.

'what's your dreams??'. Asked Luffy.

'ever since i was a child, I always dreamed of joining the marines, i want to fight for a great cause. Do you think, i can do it?'. Asked Coby.

'i want to lie, but the truth is Coby, if you really want to be a great marine, your going to need to be brave, or at least strong enough to be one'. Said Luffy.

'so I'm not good enough?'. Asked Coby.

'that's for you to decide on, not me'. Said Luffy.

'in that case, I'm going to do it. Yes, I'm going to find a way off this island, join the marines, and then arrest Alvida!'. Said Coby.

'is that a fact?!. You dare betray me, to the marines?!. You've got nerves Coby'. Said Alvida.

just like that Coby began to shake in fear.

'so your the one they told me about. Well your sure not roronoa Zoro, that's for sure'. Said Alvida as she looked at Luffy.

'(Zoro??)'. Thought Luffy confused.

'Coby!. Who is this brat?, and way is he here?!'. Yelled Alvida.

'hey Coby, is that fat lady Alvida?'. Asked Luffy shocking the whole Alvida Pirates along with Coby.

'Luffy, you can say that, "iron club" Alvida is the most... the most... the most ugliest thing in the world!!'. Yelled Coby showing bravery.

'you brat!!'. Roared Alvida raised her spike club in the air aiming to Coby's head.

just like that, Luffy stepped in between Coby and the club. Ending it with his head getting hit.

'Luffy no!'. Screamed Coby in fear.

'is that really your best hit?'. Asked Luffy showing no pain on him as he smiled.

'what the hell??'. Asked Alvida in fear.

[gum gum, pistol!] said Luffy as he stretched his right fist out and began flying back to hit Alvida in the gut.

just like that, Alvida was sent flying.

'he just, sent the captain. Flying with a single punch'. Said pirate 1.

'get a boat ready, me and Coby are leaving. Your not going to stop us, right?!'. Asked Luffy in a series tone.

'yes sir'. Said the Alvida Pirates as they ran to get a boat for the two.


[a few minutes later]

so Luffy, if your after the one piece, then you'll need to head to the grand line, right?'. Asked Coby.

'yep, I'll need a strong enough crew, along with some strong partners to join my team'. Said Luffy.

'were you thinking of forming a partnership with Alvida and her crew??'. Asked Coby.

'only if she was truly strong enough to be partners with me. But seeing her in person, i say no'. Said Luffy.

'good choice'. Said Coby.

'so Coby, who's this Zoro guy she said?'. Asked Luffy.

'you mean roronoa Zoro?, he's best known, as the strongest swordsman in the east blue. He's very strong, and very dangerous'. Said Coby.

'i see, and where can I find him?'. Asked Luffy.

'last I heard he's at shells town, under arrest by the marines'. Said Coby.

'hmm. Guess I know where I'm headed next'. Said Luffy.

'your not actually thinking of recruiting him??'. Asked Coby in fear.

'sure am, i need strong people remember?'. Said Luffy smiling happily.

just like that Coby lost all since and gave up. In the end, he navigated to shells town.
