Chapter 3: Dawn of an Adventure. The first officer!
Olympus reappears in the East Blue sky, only it has traveled back in time.
"What a trip. I feel like throwing up." Annabeth says her face green.
"Don't even think about it, mortal!" Zeus shouts again, this time showing his rays.
"Here, daughter of Athena." Themis gives her a paper bag.
"Ha, that's soft. I'm not surprised." Ares speaks, annoying Athena.
"Anyway, where are we now, Junior? And most importantly, when?" Percy asks him.
"We are at the moment where it all began."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Hera asked.
"Behold"
The gods and demigods see a town, with the population gathered in the central square, with their eyes set on a gallows. In this gallows, a man was waiting, the most dangerous and the most important in the world.
"Gold Roger, the man who held the world in his hands. His last words inspired many to sail the seas." -Junior narrated, before the expectant gaze of gods and heroes. - "He said like this: "My treasure? If you want it, I´ll let you have it. Go look for it. I left all of it at that place!"
At that very moment, he was skewered by two swords. For a few moments no one said anything, until the shouts of joy and joy began to seize all mortals. The gods and demigods, surprised, turned their eyes on Roger, to be surprised again: the man they saw die, had a genuine smile. A smile that showed neither fear nor doubt, but rather one of relief and happiness.
"T-This mortal..." Zeus was unable to find more words, he only saw the beginning of Luffy and now that of the man he assumed was the King of the Pirates.
"I accept his death without further ado. Without any bitterness whatsoever." Hades commented, just as amazed as his brother.
"How rude ..." Clarisse admired.
The rest were still in shock, until the god of war addressed Junior.
"Hey kid, tell me there's more like this guy in this world."
"Huh?"
Ares shakes Junior comically, to the shock of everyone present. - "I refuse to believe that only this guy could have smiled like that at Thanatos!"
"Are you stupid? OF COURSE there are more warriors like that! Oh my God, when you meet them ... Ow, ow, ow, ow, I can't wait!"
Olympus begins to move again until it reaches a city called Shells Town.
"And now where are we? I'm tired of traveling in time without stopping ..." -the goddess of love complained.
"This town is called Shells Town, where ... Oh, look who's here!" Junior points to a specific human. When the Olympians fixed their eyes on the point the intergalactic pirate pointed out, they couldn't believe it.
"Impossible ..." - Amphitrite began.
"So in the end he did! I can't say I approve of someone becoming a pirate, but ..." Demeter continued.
Percy and the rest of his friends saw their friend Luffy, turned into a young athletic man, wearing a red shirt and blue pants; including Shanks hat.
"Luffy is out sailing!" Tyson yells happily.
"Ha, I was sure I would, after all, my father likes it, I mean, he has what it takes for battle." Clarisse says proudly.
"Well actually, I was shipwrecked when it started." Junior says embarrassed.
"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Annabeth.
Bleach OST 1 # 3 Comical World
"You see, Luffy started his journey as a pirate and kept sailing across the ocean. So far so good, right?"
Everyone nodded, though Themis sighed, strongly suspicious of knowing what had happened.
"Well Luffy accidentally came across a giant whirlpool."
"You're kidding, right?" Hestia asked, only to see Junior shake his head.
"To escape from it, he hid inside a barrel, due to the whirlpool sucking into his boat."
The gods don't give credit to Luffy's patent lack of navigation.
"How do you want to be a pirate if you have no idea how to navigate?!" bellowed Poseidon, to the delight and amusement of Zeus.
"Fortunately, he and his barrel were recovered shortly after by pirates who were in the service of a pirate named Alvida.
Junior portrays a very fat woman who carried a large metal mace.
"Wow, impressive." Apollo blurted out, only for his sister to kick him in the back.
"What difference does it make that she is fat? Obviously a woman is better able to lead men." -replies Artemis.
"Luffy then came out of his barrel, to his surprise, and reunited with Coby, a boy who had been in Alvida's service for two years against his will."
"Against his will?" Grover asked.
"I suppose that mortal entered the pirate zone inadvertently and ended up as a servant of that pirate." Themis replied, disgusted by such injustice.
"Well, don't get upset, Themis-chan. After defeating Alvida, Luffy was able to free Coby from his servitude and acquires a small boat. When he and Coby were sailing to the next island, Coby tells Luffy his dream of being a marine.
"Him, a marine? Ha, I can't believe it." Ares said, laughing at Coby's dream.
"I believe in him." - Percy replies to Ares.
They both glare at each other, a constant reminder of the rivalry they had between them.
"Be careful, wretch. I haven't forgotten about our fight yet." -the god warns him.
"Me neither."
They both seem ready to fight when lightning stops them.
"Silence both of you!" Zeus bellowed. "Listen carefully; all of us here are in an absurd situation, but from what we have seen in this world, mortals have a strong will. Whether he turns into a marine or I don't care, but we are here to learn about him Luffy's journey. So I will not tolerate any fighting while we are on this journey imposed on us! Have I been clear?! "
"Yes sir..." -they both apologized, although still glaring at each other.
"Well, in any case, Luffy came to Shells Town, looking for the first member of his crew, the fearsome and infamous pirate hunter, Roronoa Zoro." -Junior finish, transporting the gods and demigods to the base of the Navy, specifically to the courtyard.
"A pirate hunter? Well, finally, something good! Even if he is a man..." -exclaims Artemis, excited.
Junior and company see Luffy in front of a green haired man tied to a wooden cross.
"I'm looking for pirates for my crew," Luffy said simply.
Everyone present except Junior opened their mouths in shock at Luffy's sincerity.
"This guy is an idiot." Annabeth declared, shocked.
A sign appears above the man with the words:
"Zoro the Pirate Hunter. Bounty Hunter from East Blue."
"And...? You wouldn't expect someone to join you for unleashing some stupid strings, right?" - Zoro replied.
"No one said they want to ask you. You have a bad reputation.
However, the green-haired man stands firm in his punishment: "Even if you don't release me, I will survive alone. They said they would release me if I held out for a month." Then he smiles, looking at Luffy. "So I'll survive anyway! I'll do whatever I want!"
The demigods were amazed at Roronoa's willpower.
"Damn, this guy is pretty tough!" exclaimed the daughter of Zeus, surprised.
"It is impossible for a mortal to survive tied there for a whole month! He will die!" Annabeth says irritably.
"Hey, Smart Girl, don't be too hasty." Percy says to his girlfriend. "That guy seems strong. Also, I trust Luffy. "
"Ahh ... You are incorrigible."
Then the gods and demigods left for the city, outraged by Zoro's stubbornness.
"It will be ungrateful!" exclaimed Demeter, furious. "You should at least be grateful that they wanted to set him free!"
"It is true. But why was he at the base if he did nothing but help the law?" asked Athena.
"... So Zoro got caught for trying to help the locals?" -Everyone turns to the place where Luffy and Coby were, listening to their conversation.
"Coby. Boy who dreams of being a marine."
"Yes ..." the short boy with pink hair began. "And when he did, the guy who was in command of this base, Captain Morgan was furious. He seems as ruthless as they say."
"Wow... Wait, just for helping the local villagers is he locked up? Ridiculous!" cried Aphrodite, angry.
"Huh?"
"Luffy-san, is something wrong?" asked Coby.
"Oh nothing." Luffy left, sure he heard something. Then he saw something that surprised him: the teenagers he met as a child.
"Aphrodite, you must calm down." Hera calmly asks the goddess of love.
"Well, you can't blame her. Zoro Roronoa tries to help mortals, it's normal that she's angry." -Apollo speaks.
"Junior, I don't understand. Why is this important?" Percy asks Junior.
"You see, it's because ..."
"Percy, it's you!"
They all turn to the direction where the voice came from and saw the young man in the straw hat.
"Luffy?" Thalia wondered. But she was interrupted when Luffy tried to hug them, only to have his arms go through them.
"What the hell ...? My arms have gone through you!"
"That's right, mortal." -Zeus introduces himself to Luffy in a dramatic way, much to the boredom of all the gods and skepticism of the demigods. - "We have come to witness your journey, albeit obligatory. Consider yourself honored that I am interested, even if only a little."
"Hey." Luffy turns to Percy. "Who is this old curmudgeon?"
Immediately, everyone was shocked, while Junior struggled not to laugh. Immediately, storm clouds began to form and turned to Zeus, with a rage rarely seen.
"Insolent mortal! How dare you laugh at the King of the Gods!?" The Greek supreme god had a lightning bolt ready to throw at Luffy, however, he did not feel terrified, but faced Zeus.
"I don't care who you are, I'm going to be the King of the Pirates, you idiot!"
Zeus's anger was indescribable now, though his brothers and the rest of the Olympians secretly applauded Luffy's impudence. On the other hand, the demigods could only admire the pirate boy, even if he was challenging the most powerful being in his world.
However, before Zeus threw one of his beams at him, some marines were heard talking.
"Wow, looks like there is going to be a storm." -This is the first marine speaking.
"Yes, it will be one of the strong ones." - His partner replied.
"By the way, I have heard that the public execution of Roronoa Zoro will be in three days."
At that instant, everyone stopped Zeus and Luffy from fighting and everyone paid attention to the conversation.
"It's sad, but... going against the captain means death..."
"But they did say they would release him if they held out for a month!" Annabeth said angrily.
"So they had no intention of keeping their word ..." - Second Athena, extremely upset.
"Ha, the marines being hypocrites ... I guess the world of the living might surprise even me" Hades said, simply bored.
Back then, Luffy's determination kicked in, motivating him.

"It's decided, Coby, Percy! I'm going to include Zoro in my crew!"
"Finally, let the party begin!" Ares shouts enthusiastically.
"W... What?" Coby starts, worried. "You can't decide that! If you make the captain furious, the Navy could chase you!"
"Something tells me that he doesn't care." Demeter replies, with a bead of sweat on her head.
"I'll take care of that when it happens! First, I'm going to see Zoro."
Luffy runs off to where Zoro is.
"Well ladies and gentlemen, the blows begin." -Junior says happily.
Luffy begins to hit several groups of marines with astonishing force. The gods (especially Ares) see how easily the boy in the straw hat defeats the marines.
"Damn ... He's strong." Clarisse says, glad to see a fight. "But this is a bit boring."
"Still, it's unbelievable how stubborn he can be... Just like someone I know ..." - Athena says, referring to Percy.
"No ... We're not letting you pass!" -said a marine with a weapon similar to a spear. The marine tries to skewer him, but Luffy prepares himself, smiling.
"Shishshi! Try it! Gomu Gomu no... Whip!" -Luffy stretches his leg and hits not only the marine with the spear but many others.
"How strong it is!" Tyson exclaims, with a star in his eye.
"Mmm, rubber is not usually something very powerful, but the brat knows how to take advantage of its qualities. Not bad..." says Dionysus.
"Oh, that had to hurt!" Thalia exclaims, delighted.

"You again...? It seems to me that I have already declined your invitation, pirate." -Zoro says to Luffy.
"I'm Luffy! I'm going to untie you, so join my crew!" Luffy replies with a smile.
"Yes, just like that." Junior speaking, funny.
"I don't think that's how it works, boy." Hera sighs at Luffy's simplicity."
"Are you deaf, you idiot?! There is something I must do. Besides, who would want to live as an outlaw pirate?"
"Well said, mortal! Show that disrespectful rubber monkey his place!" Zeus exclaimed, obviously annoyed at Luffy for insulting him earlier.
"Come on, brother. Luffy doesn't know us, he understands that he will be annoyed by your attitude," Hades told him, trying not to hurt the rubber pirate more.
"Wouldn't you like it?" I mean, you said it yourself. Before you were an evil bounty hunter, right? "Luffy continues.
"Well, that evil bounty hunter is questionable, especially the 'evil' part, but... okay." Thalia says to herself.
"I have no idea what is being said about me out there. But I have never acted against my moral code!"
"I don't care! I've already decided that you will join me! They've taken your sword, right? I'll get it back. If you want me to give it back, join my crew!"
"Wow, he's stubborn ..." says Percy, partly pleased. "Although I don't know who is more stubborn of the two."
"And he's a blackmailer ... Sure, all men are like that." Snorts Artemis, annoyed and earning several glances.
"Little sister, will you ever leave that hatred for men?" - Apollo bugs her.
"On the day I swear allegiance to Typhon!"
"What?! What bullshit are you saying, kid?" Zoro exclaims irritably.
"OK, good bye!"

"I have to find Zoro's sword. Where can it be?" Luffy wonders. Then a vision leads him to the armory. "Hey? What was that!? I've seen a room... and there were Zoro's swords! Well, whatever. I know where to look!"
"You're welcome." -said the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare.
"Athena, I thought I said we couldn't intervene in mortal affairs!" Zeus said angrily to Athena.
"Well, I've only done my job as a goddess of strategic warfare. Besides..." Athena starts to laugh. "I can't help it, but...! Hahahaha, I am so amused with that boy's wit!"
Annabeth stares at her mother in disbelief, as do the rest of the Olympians. Athena blushes and tries to keep her composure. -W-Well, it was just because..."
Junior walks up to her and laughs too.
"Hehehehe, oh come on! Don't be ashamed, Athena! What's wrong with laughing once in a while?" Junior says when Ares starts laughing too.
"Hahahaha, if that boy managed to piss off Zeus, I'm not surprised he brought a smile to your serious face, smartass!"
As the gods spoke, the demigods, with the help of Themis, set out to watch Luffy fight. Luffy sent the marines flying, one after the other.
"I hope that he is okay." Tyson says, concerned. "We're at a Navy base and only Lady Athena has helped him."
"Don't worry, son of Poseidon." Themis speaks sweetly. - "Sure he can take care of this."
Percy sees his girlfriend in his thoughts and walks over to her.
"Smart Girl, are you okay?"
"I... It's the first time I've seen my mother laugh. I thought... that she... didn't know how to laugh." says Annabeth... smiling.
"The truth is that it has been a shock for everyone."
"It's just that... For the first time in a long time, I saw her... happy."
Suddenly, Luffy bursts in, thrashing everyone he came across.
"Captain! Someone from Roronoa Zoro's crew has stormed the base!" -Informs a marine to Morgan.
"How? Take out all the rebels. Fix it now!" Morgan yells at his subordinates.
The marines run for Luffy who smiles at a fight.
"Arrrgh, how lucky you are! We can't fight!" cries Clarisse, angry and full of jealousy.
"Why did you say 'we'? Obviously YOU are the one most interested in fighting." - Grover replies, with a drop of sweat on his head.
"Gomu Gomu no... Gatling!" -Luffy throws a series of punches very fast, defeating all the marines.
He picks one up and asks him where Zoro's sword is and he replies that it is in the armory. Running goes to that place.
"Stop him already!"
The marines were no match for the rubber pirate, who knocked on the armory door and found not one, but three swords.
"I have it! It's the sword!" Says Luffy, happy. "But there are three ... What is Zoro's?"
"Probably the one with the white sleeve." Thalia comments. - "I mean, it seems to be one of a kind."
"Do you believe that?" - Clarisse asks him.
"The only one who could say anything would be Leo or Lord Hephaestus..." -replied Annabeht.
"I hope Jason and the others are okay..." Thalia says worried about her younger brother.
Percy smiles at her. - "Don't worry; look at him on the bright side, at least he's not trapped in another world with the gods."
"It's true. The truth is that your friends are the ones who are lucky," says Themis, amused.
Suddenly Morgan deploys a bunch of Marines at various points around the base.
"Stop it! Change of plans. Execute Roronoa Zoro right now!" -Morgan heads to the execution yard.
"W-What? We had a deal!"
"Oh shit. We have to hurry!" –Clarisse speaks.
Luffy and the demigods try to get to where Zoro was, but the door was closed.
"Oh come on! Hey Annabeth, do you know another way?" –ask Grover, nervous.
"Easy, look where there are more marines!" -Luffy says, smiling.
Luffy cleared on the way, while the gods just stared at the execution field.
"The kids, where are they?" Hades wonders.
"No idea, but they better not have gone with that insolent." -replies Zeus furious.
"By Olympus, Zeus! Are you going to stop whining like a little kid or what?!" -Hera breaks out.
Zeus is amazed that his wife is challenging him, but he was not going to remain silent.- "How dare you, wife? I am the King of Olympus and...!"
"Exactly, so start behaving like one!"
Then Hermes sees something in the vault of the base something that catches his attention: a young woman robbing the marines. The messenger of the gods is curious and decides to see it better.
"A good one is being put together... It suits me perfectly." -said the orange-haired woman.
"Protect the vault! There are very valuable navigational charts."
On Morgan's orders, two Navy lieutenants address the chamber, when Hermes smiles.
"Hah, it wouldn't be good if they killed her. She seems like a good thief."
Because he could not interact with mortals, Hermes came up with hitting the marines with a pair of stones on the head.

"Ufff... I don't know who you are, but if you're there, thanks for helping me. Bye!" - The girl with orange hair leaves, leaving Hermes alone.
"That girl is unique, that's for sure."
"Believe me, Hermes," Junior says, appearing behind him, smiling. "That lady is truly unique and as the years go by, she will get worse."
"Hahahahaha, then she will be a good thief!"
End BGM
In the execution yard...
"Roronoa Zoro... Your so-called strength is nothing but rubbish before my authority!" A man with a metal jaw speaks and a huge ax is roughly threaded into his right arm.
"Morgan, ax hand. Captain of a Navy affiliate."
"So that's Morgan," says Ares. "I admit he seems strong, especially because of the ax."
"Please, I think he looks incompetent." Hestia replies.
"Get ready!"
The Marines point their weapons at Zoro, who can't help but surrender to his fate.
"(Nngh... I... I'm not going to die here in any way...!) - Zoro thought, to the astonishment of the Olympians. Suddenly, they begin to see flashbacks of Zoro.

- "(I swore that I would be as strong as her ... to become the best swordsman in the world ... So much that my name would reach the sky! I swore...! So I can't die like a dog here...)"
BGM End
"Fire!"
The gods braced themselves to see the inevitable end of the bounty hunter. The difficult thing would be to break the news to Luffy, they thought. The bullets rushed into the flesh of the green-haired man, until a familiar figure stood in their way.
"Luffy!" cried the demigods as well as the gods themselves.
"You have been stunned!" Junior lets out, seeing the bullets stretching Luffy's body.
Seen in the New World - One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 OST [56]
"Nooo!" -the rubber pirate drops the bullets in various directions, astonishing everyone.
"You! What the hell are you?" asks the swordsman.
"I'm going to be the man to become the King of the Pirates!"
"Damn brat... He's crazier than Peter." says Dionysus, a little terrified.
"I sincerely believe that, after insulting Zeus, he is the bravest mortal I have ever seen." - Poseidon speaking.
"And the craziest of all! I don't know if we'll get out of this world... At least sane." -the goddess of the calm sea despairs.
"Hey... what's yours?" Luffy says, showing Zoro the three swords.
"All three are mine. I use the Santoryu technique."
"Santoryu? Apollo, you like Japan, can you tell us what it means?" Demeter asks him.
"Santoryu means Three Sword Style." says Apollo proudly.
"How will you pick up the third sword?" Hera wonders.
"Something tells me that we will soon find out." Poseidon ends.
"Help me fight with the Marines and you'll be a traitor to the government. What's worse: that or die here like this?"
"The brat has a point," said Dionysus.
"You're a devil, kid... Okay, okay. If I'm going to die here like a dog, almost better... Make me a pirate!"
BGM Ends and Resume The First Crew - One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 OST [2]
"Say yes! Here, Zoro has joined Luffy!" exclaims Themis happily.
"Yes, yes... How good." The King of the Gods shows himself not wanting to see more.
"Know that this attitude is not the right one." Hera tells him.
"That pirate has had the nerve to mock the almighty Zeus, that is, ME, and you want me not to get mad?!"
"Really ... How can you put up with this guy?" Junior asks the teenagers.
"With a lot of patience and tried not to upset him." Thalia replies.
Zoro breaks free and begins to cut through marines with savage pleasure, just like Ares when he goes to some mortal war.
"This man has the same wild aura as you, Ares!" -I speak the goddess of love.
"Ha, it doesn't reach the sole of the shoe." he replied skeptically. "That Three Swords style looks interesting though."
"Oni Giri!" -Zoro puts a sword in his mouth and cuts a good group of marines."
"Wow, not bad!" cries Clarisse.
"I will become a pirate for you," said the swordsman to Luffy. But listen! I also have a dream. I will be the best swordsman in the world; I can't dirty my reputation there.
"The best swordsman in the world! A perfect ally for the King of the Pirates!"
Both pirates decimate the ranks of the marines without much effort, much to the delight of Ares and Junior; and admiration of the demigods.
"Where is that arrogant clown? I'm going to find him and tear him to pieces!" Luffy says angry with Morgan.
"Boy, don't go crazy! You need strategies and ..." Athena begins, but Junior interrupts her.
"Just find Morgan and kick his ass!"
Athena gets an angry mark on her head and tries to hit Junior with her Aegis shield, but fails. Thanks to Themis reducing his friend, Athena was able to calm down and find out the location of Morgan, where there were a lot of statues of him.
"Great... Another egotist." thinks Hecate, remembering Zeus. "
"That kid must have eaten one of those Akuma no Mi." (Devil Fruit.) points out the corrupt captain of the Navy.
"Those fruits again... I have to get information about them. I'll have to ask Athena for help." thinks Demeter.
"If the bullets don't work, break him in two!" Morgan exclaims furiously. "Finish him off at once!"
"T-They're both monsters... We can't beat them!" yells the Marines.
"Rompers..." Thalia says smugly.
"I will kill the one who shows weakness! I don't need cowardly subordinates."
The gods increasingly disgusted Morgan, while the demigods followed Luffy supporting him morally. So Coby looks worried.

"Now I have enemies in the Navy. How did I get into this mess?" -said the pink haired, worried.
"For breaking that man's bust." Tyson says simply.
"Cretin, you mean." -the satyr points out.
"I've already told you, right? I'm going to be the King of the Pirates!" Luffy smiles.
"The Navy is your only enemy. For One Piece, you will have to face pirates from around the world! You will die!" shouts Coby, desperate to make Luffy see reason.
"Reason is not lacking. It's a suicidal dream" says Percy.
"Easy guys!" says the rubber pirate, confident. "I want to be the King of the Pirates and I will fight for my dream. I don't mind dying trying!"
Olympic teenagers once again marvel at the force of Luffy's words, including Percy and Annabeth when they thought about "building something permanent."
Then Clarisse start crying with pride. "Well said Luffy!"
"How big is this guy!" says Grover with the same tears as Ares's daughter.
"Could... I... do something like that...? If I was willing to die...!" Coby takes courage and proclaims his dream to the sky. "My dream is to enter the Navy, rise through the ranks, and take down villains. It's my dream since I was little!"
"I dont know."
"No, I'm going to do it! Luffy-san and Zoro-san, you have taught me that life has to be lived with determination! I will make it ... One day I will be a Navy officer! You will see!"
"You sure will, Coby. Someone like you is destined to do great things." Thalia speaks.
"I believe in Coby" - says Luffy, smiling at her.
"Luffy-san...? Why are you talking to the air?"
"They're friends of mine, apparently only I can see them! It's super weird! Shishishi"
"This guy is crazy to tie up." Zoro says, with a bead of sweat on his head.
"You have no idea." -exclaim the gods, in a sign of defeat.
"True, but at least, it's more interesting." -Themis speaks, in an attempt to raise morale.

Everyone comes to where Morgan is waiting for them.
The Marine Arrives - One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 OST [53]
"Ruff without lineage, without rank ... You are not allowed to disobey me!" shouts Morgan, in anger.
Luffy passed Zoro, passed the soldiers, and charged straight towards the captain. With a jump, the rubber man tried to punch him, but was blocked by Morgan's ax hand.
He doesn't want to be challenged by a 'nameless punk' as he declared himself 'Captain of the Navy Ax-Hand Morgan', throwing his coat in the air.
"Hit his fucking ass, Luffy!" Annabeth, surprising everyone, while her friends cheered her on.
Morgan brandished his ax at Luffy, but the boy easily jumped on it. Even then, the captain continued to attack and one of those attacks caused a large crack in the ground.
"You know, if he wasn't a jerk, he might have been a decent hero with that ax. Or even a good captain under Tyson's command." Apollo said.
Artemis almost laughed at his crude "compliment."
While in the air, Luffy was able to kick the captain in the face, causing Morgan to fall. His soldiers were completely shocked, confused by such a thing.
"Yes, Morgan is getting shot down!" Tyson yelled proudly.
Morgan sat up as Luffy charged after him again. His ax fell to the ground, but Luffy was able to dodge it, spinning in midair. With another kick to the face, Luffy returns Morgan.
The marines were still, staring at this fight in disbelief. They can't believe their Captain Morgan is no match for this boy.
"Hell yes it is!" Clarisse and Ares screamed in unison, much to the gods' expectation.
"Marine my ass! How dare you destroy Coby's dream like this!" Luffy yelled at the man he was holding by the shirt, punching Morgan in the face.
Percy felt his eyes blur, feeling a sense of joy at Luffy's words. "Well said."
"I am Morgan, 'Hand Ax', Lieutenant Commander of the Marines." Morgan charges Luffy.
"I'm Luffy. Nice to meet you!"
Everyone laughs at this, even Zeus who couldn't help laughing.
"Arrest them already!"
Luffy himself didn't react much more than a smile.
"Do you... do you have a plan, Luffy?" Percy wondered.
Coby noticed his smile, looking calm.
A couple of the demigods were able to smile confidently at Coby's bravery, even Zeus himself, much calmer. Dionysus wanted to tell them that they should not provoke the King of the Gods, but decided to leave them alone, seeing their happy faces.
Just add it to the lesson plan in some way.
Luffy prepares a punch, closing in on him despite the marines coming after him.
BGM Ends and begins One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 - OST - I Will Surpass You!
A familiar ax was raised.
" GOMU GOMU NO ...!"
The teens gasped, noticing that Morgan was right behind the rubber man as Coby yelled a warning.
"MOCHI!"
Despite Morgan's ax falling, Luffy was able to throw his leg straight at the Marines. The ax didn't connect as Luffy kept smiling.
"Great."
Morgan fell back as his eyes rolled again. His shirt was tattered.
Luffy yelled out Zoro's name.
Zoro replied, "It was nothing, Captain."
Luffy smiled back.
There was a moment of silence until Clarisse yelled, "That. It was. Awesome!"
Many gods agreed.
"I still can't believe it's that strong." Hestia said, speechless. "He's so... skinny."
"Well, so are rubber bands until you stretch them out and shoot someone. They hurt like hell." Apollo said, and then turned to his sister. "See? I know something about rubber and I AM a man."
Artemis sighed irritably.
The Marines watch the scene in amazement.
Zoro threatened them if they wanted to fight, but surprisingly, the soldiers did not retaliate. Instead, they cheered, throwing their swords and hats into the air.
"I don't think it's safe." A bead of sweat fell on Demeter. "Surely, someone is going to be stabbed."
Luffy is confused by the attitude of the soldiers as Coby explains that they were all afraid of Morgan.
Inside the Navy base, they saw the red-haired familiar before tying up some soldiers.
"Finally!" Artemis screamed, glad to see an attractive girl on the screen.
Upon entering one of the rooms, the anonymous girl looked around, but seemed to have trouble finding what she was looking for until she noticed the safe. It's apparently his lucky day too, because it was unlocked.
"Really?! You didn't close the safe?!" Hera screamed in frustration.
The orange haired woman's eyes lit up, stating that it was the Grand Line map.
"Do you want to go to the Grand Line?" Percy said confused. "But why? It's a dangerous place."
"Treasure hunter?" Thalia guessed.
"Thief, actually." Hermes replies.
However, his lucky day was short-lived when he unrolled it, revealing an image of a jolly roger with a round red nose and a message.
"What a show." Hecate said when the redhead read the message.
"Another guy stole their things and they didn't realize-"
"Yes, we know that the Marines are absolutely incompetent at their job." Apollo interrupted, causing his sister to let out an annoyed snort.
At first, the redhead also seemed annoyed until she noticed the mark; the mark of Captain Buggy...
Ares laughed. "Buggy? What kind of name is that?"
... who is also called the 'Heartless Buggy'.
"Nope, it's still not threatening at all."
"Yeah, but with the history he has ..." says Junior, with a drop of sweat.
"What do you mean?" Poseidon asks him.
"You'll know."
The girl flattened the paper as the camera focused on her reflection in the mirror.
With Luffy and Zoro...
Then the marines appeared. While the Marines are grateful for defeating Morgan, but since they are pirates, they have to leave the city, and the soldiers promised not to contact the headquarters for their action.
"I don't like it, but I understand why they have to." Grover sighed in frustration as he mentally agreed with the villagers who were defending Luffy, but Luffy himself didn't mind the request.
"And here we see how hypocritical the Navy is. Seriously, there are too many of these kinds of people in the Navy." Junior says.
As Zoro and Luffy walked past Coby, most of the students became concerned about the pink haired boy when the commander asked if Coby was with them.
"Just say no." Annabeth rolled her eyes when Coby could barely speak.
Luffy looked back, but didn't say a single word until the Marine stopped him and asked if Coby was with him.
Luffy turned around, admitting that he knows Coby.
"W-what are you doing!? I thought you wanted him to achieve his dream!" Hestia exclaimed as the demigods were horrified by Luffy's action.
Interspersed with Coby's mental plea, Luffy kept detailing Alvida and was about to talk about Coby's connection to her until... PUNCH!
Coby punched Luffy in the face before he could speak further. From the smile on Zoro's face, it looks like that's what they wanted when Luffy punches Coby back.
"Wait, did he plan it?" Tyson blinked in surprise.
"The guy really did something smart." Athena seemed generally surprised by that.
The commander demanded that Luffy stop and leave immediately. Zoro grabbed Luffy by the collar of his vest, telling him not to overdo it. Coby fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
"Come on, Coby." Percy whispered to himself. "You can do it. Prove your worth for the challenge."
Coby suddenly stood up, telling them that he wants to join the Marines. The commander looked at him, and before he could say anything, a soldier voiced his disagreement against this.
Still, Coby said how sincerely he wants to be a Marine to them.
The audience waited in anticipation as the commander continued to stare at him. He passed Coby and informed him that many marines had been lost to the pirates; that is not easy
Coby let out a little gasp.
He was given permission to join the Marines.
The demigods clapped in joy, while the gods looked at the pink-haired boy with pride.
They then saw Zoro discussing what happened there with Luffy, walking towards the boat.
Luffy and Zoro turned around when Coby called out Luffy's name. Coby greeted them, thanking them for everything they had done for him.
The boy in the straw hat laughed when Zoro couldn't believe a Marine would thank a pirate.
"Yes, it will be as if a hero thanks a villain." Hera said.
"Or a god to a titan." Grover points out.
"They are more like vigilantes to me." Thalia pointed out. "They saved the city."
"It is still the same result." Grover said.
As the two pirates sailed to their next destination, Coby noticed another presence with them.
Right behind them, the Marines greeted the departing pirates when the commander told Coby that he had a great friend.
"They knew." Artemis gasped.
Coby wept at the commander who was smiling at him, but he hardened before he could shed his tears, bringing a smile to the face of the audience.
"What a great ending ..." -said Hestia happily.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" -Who began to laugh uncontrollably was Zeus, surprising everyone. - "Junior, this is just the beginning, right?"
"Of course!"
"Well so I can see if someone kills him!" he says while laughing.
"Admit it, you like him."
They all go to Olympus, while Luffy smiles at them and leaves with Zoro, unknowingly, to his next enemy... Buggy the Clown.
To be continue...
