The City Kid.

Shanks put his hand over his shoulder, but Luffy ignored the attempts at trying to console him. His brother was gone, and Luffy hated that. His tears were all dried up. All Luffy had was anger now. Luffy shook his head yes, acting like he acknowledged his mentors words. Shanks just tapped his shoulder twice and left. Luffy stared at his older brothers gravestone. He had lost both his brothers, he had never seen Sabo after that day. And now Ace was gone too. His older brother was murdered, and Luffy only had his friends Zoro, Sanji, Ussop, and Robin. They had left him to grieve. With Shanks's car pulling off, it was just him here, standing over his brother's freshly dug grave. No tears came out. They were going to be firefighters together, it was only their first day on the job. Recruit training, it was him, Zoro, Sanji, and Ace. They were ready to make a difference.

It didn't matter now, Luffy sank to the ground and sat down. He was cold, and he felt totally alone. He missed his brother.

Some time way later.

'"Luffy-san," her voice spoke up, it sounded so sweet, it was filled with care and comfort. Luffy smirked, as a pair of soft arms wrapped around him."You smell like charcoal Luffy-san"

Luffy let out a small cocky laugh. As he pressed his lips against her smooth skin. "You know you love it."

The older girl softly giggled at him, before speaking up in a tone he had heard time and time again from her.

"I love everything about you Luffy-san, but I'm worried about you. Sanji tells me you're distant, and you're blowing him and Zoro off. Please, you know you can tell me anything Luffy-san"

Luffy sighed, as he stood up and left the covers. Leaving the naked pink haired girl all alone in her sheets. "You know what's wrong with me. You can't fix me you know" Luffy said calmly, as if the two of them hadn't been through this conversation multiple times.

"Hmmph, I can try Luffy-san. I care about you. You know that don't you?"

Luffy tried not to sigh, he didn't want to make Reiju feel like she was a burden to him. Luffy clung to her side multiple times after his brother died, like he was a lost little puppy. But Luffy couldn't tie himself down to anybody, he was young and it'd be better for everyone involved if Luffy just didn't attach himself to anyone.

Luffy turned his attention to the older girl, she had a concerned look on her face. Luffy stared into her beautiful blue eyes, seeing the concern and heartbrake in them. Luffy knew Reiju genuinely did care about him. And maybe the two of them would be really happy together if Luffy didn't put up all these barriers between the two. But he just couldn't, Luffy just didn't want to lose anybody again.

"Reiju... I know you do. But I can't tie myself down. You know that" Luffy offered a smile, and to his surprise she smiled back at him, and spoke in the sweetest tone he had ever heard from her.

'Hmph, You're a fool Luffy-san, I'm not the one who will tie you down. I..know I'm not. I just know...But, maybe someday you'll meet a girl who will. A girl who will take you and fix you all up. And when you meet that special girl Luffy-san, you'll know."

That same night.

*Gulp *Gulp *Gulp

"Ahh" Luffy said in a voice of relief, as he slammed down the last of his bottle of white sake.

His friends Zoro and Sanji were starting at him with concerned looks on their face.

"W-HAT? Is there something on my face?" Luffy asked in a voice full of slurs and drunken stuttering.

Zoro shook his head, a face of disgust present. and went back to drinking his mug, but Sanji on the other hand stared at him. Luffy's eyes went to him, and they stared at each other.

Luffy the drunk idiot that he is, spoke up.

"D-do you got something to say Sanjiiii?" Luffy asked in a mocking tone.

His friend grit his teeth in anger. "Luffy, put the bottle down and let's get you home. You need to rest."

Luffy scoffed at this and shook his head. "Hmph, No! Y-you're not the boss of me! If i-I wanna drink! I'mma drink!"

Luffy just sipped away at the mix, letting the bitter flavor hit his tongue. Luffy relished in it.

He knew Sanji was getting even more angrier, and to his credit Luffy could see where he was coming from, he just wanted the best for his friend. But Luffy's an a adult. He could do whatever he wanted. And if Luffy wanted to get wasted and party he could do just that.

Sanji scoffed at him and stood up, Luffy realized his mistake as Sanji backed up his chair. Luffy's eyes widened.

"I'm not gonna watch you kill yourself Luffy. Get help, you're an alcoholic. I'm your friend and I'll always be here for you but I'm not gonna stand around here and let you insult me. I'm going. See you at work."

Luffy went to speak but Zoro shook his head. Luffy felt like crap, he got Zoro to be on Sanji's side. The two almost never agreed. Out of the corner of his eye he seen Zoro and Sanji exchange a line or two of words. Before sanji shook his head and left the two at the bar.

Luffy put his head down on the table and tried to avoid Zoro's gaze. He could feel his eyes burning on him. Luffy winced as Zoro scolded him.

"You're a mess Luffy. You need to get help." Zoro told him in a scolding tone. He sounded like Ace…

Luffy tuned everything out as a flashback hit him

'Geez little brother, you need to take care of yourself! These little cuts and bruises are gonna add up, and what kind of big brother would I be if I didn't watch out for you?'

'Shishishi, Ok Ace, I promise I will!'

Luffy popped back into reality as the tears suddenly started to come flooding down his face. He held them in to no avail, as they kept streaming down from his eyelids.

"I'm sorry Ace!" Luffy said to the older brother figure across from him.

He heard Zoro sigh, before he picked up his keys. "I'm gonna go Luffy, I'll make sure Benjamin gets you a ride home. Anything you get I'll have him put it on my tab."

Luffy shook his head yes and continued to cry his eyes out, not even feeling Zoro tap his shoulder as he left.

Luffy was a mess when he stumbled out of the bar. Ignoring Benji's crys for him not to leave as he left. Benji's dumb! Luffy didn't live far from here! He doesn't Need a cab home! Luffy really needed to use the bathroom, and he wobbly walked to the side of the building. He let the waterfall loose and out came the flood.

After he was done with that he walked for a bit. Stumbling half incoherently as he walked down the pitch black streets. He came across a parking lot with tents in them. It read "pack up farmers market "

Luffy just stumbled into the lot. Walking to the cars. He noticed a truck with a blanket on the back. 'Sleep time'

Luffy smiled and he walked to back of the truck. Slowly climbing up in the back before snuggling into the blankets and then falling into a deep sleep.

Luffy groaned as he awoke, his head hurt. It was hot, there was too much noise! He shook his head to get the grogginess out of his eyes. He hear birds chirping. 'Damnit! I'm probably late for work!'

Luffy sat up, bringing his hands up to his face. He tried to clear his eyes but he couldn't, he felt..dirt? Luffy used his t-shirt to wipe his eyes clear. His heart sank at the realization.

He looked around and yelled out loud.

"NGGGH!"

Luffy was currently in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a field of tangerines, his hands were dirty. His blue pants were dirty. Luffy somehow had a blanket with him, he checked his pockets, he didn't have his phone. Luffy also had his wallet which was a relief to him. He also had a huge hangover, which caused him to groan. Did Luffy mention it was hot? He was also starving, he really wanted some meat.

Just one question hit his mind. Just where the hell was he? Luffy shook his head. He was thirsty too, however. Someone's voice had gotten him out of his dazed state.

"Hey Mister!" a woman's voice rang out at him. It was a country accent. It sounded dry

Luffy was confused. "Huh?" Luffy asked as he turned his head to find the voice.

And that's when Luffy saw her, a girl with orange hair.

A/N: Bang Bang, Okay, let's discuss a few things. If you've read Farmer's Daughter. Thank you. I just wasn't satisfied with it so I'm re doing it. Now, the original story didn't have this backstory for Luffy, but I had hinted that maybe Luffy was kinda of a mess. And he was. And in this story it's going to affect how he sees things a lot more.

Second of all, if you've read Farmer's Daughter, you kinda know the plot. But this version is going to be vastly different. But not Bellemere and Nami, they're going to be the same characters. Luffy's going to be more colder. But probably not for long though. ;)

I felt like Reiju was the only girl I could have written for that scene. Vivi didn't fit. Hancock didn't fit. Marguerite didn't fit, no one else fitted. But Reiju did. And I really like the scene for what it's worth. Maybe I'll do a Twoshot of the two, we'll see.

I love that I can write Bellemere again! She's so fun to write! Writing Nami as a naive farm girl is so fun to write too! But anyways... I hope y'all enjoyed this.
