AU* I know there are mistakes I need a beta

High pitched laughter could be heard throughout the marine ship and a small sprite like child ran in between the legs of marine men and women. The commanding officer looked up at the sound of the child. "Garp-sama, Dawn Island is in view, and the wind is in our favor today we should arrive before noon" the navigator spoke while shuffling his maps and in his hands.

Garp grinned at the man and nodded before calling to the child, "Luffy!" the boy turned around instantly and ran as fast as his little legs can carry him to the old man. Holding out his arms as he caught the small sprite and lifted him high. The child laughed with glee and wiggled in the mans hands "Grandpa!" he cried out then was pulled into the mans chest to cuddle against. Garp smiled when he felt Luffy yawn and it wasn't long before the kids breathing evened out. If anyone came up to him today and told him he was going to have another adoptive grandchild to care for he would have laughed in thier face.

* Two Months Ago*

Garp studied the kid before him. There he or she sat in the rain hiding behind trash cans. There knees tucked into their chest, black hair plastered to their face. Garp couldn't belive his eyes at first, at first glance the child looked 2 or 3 at most. Upon further inspection, that was not the case. The child was a small sprite, the kid proportional to a five-year old. "Hey" he huffed out squating his large frame down to the kid. The small child jolted their head up and looked at the large man before him. "Are you ok? we're parents?" Garp used his large frame to shield the kid from the storm. "I don't have any" the voice was so high that the man thought for sure the child is a girl.

Garp studied the girl some more. Of course the girl had no parents, the island he is on had been known for violent pirate raids as it is close to the grandline. The village he is in, they had set up a temporary Marine base after a rather nasty raid on the island that left villages in ruins and high body counts. The man thought for a moment, then held out a hand to the little sprite. The little girl eyed him warily, but took the hand non-the less. The marine hero pulled the sprite into his chest and used his marine jacket to wrap around the little one. "I'll take care of you", the man whispered to the child.

The large man ended up taking the girl to the village doctor. The doctor at first, he had been annoyed from being woken up to the large marine putting a hole through his house, but calmed after the man reassured him it would be fixed. "I have a child that is in need of medical assistance" The man all but bellowed out to the Doctor. Upon seeing the sprite in the Marines arms the man flung himself backwards and yelled for the both to get out. Garp merely raised an eyebrow before encouraging a Marine fixing the wall to hold the small girl.

The sight of a large marine cracking his knuckles made the Doctor go white. "I want to know everything about that little girl" Garp hissed out and the doctor pissed his pants before rifling into files in a cabinet in the living room and handing one over to Garp. Garp opened and froze the name was Bryix D, Luffy and Luffy was defiantly not a girl. The man sweat dropped upon that realization. The boy born May 5 is also 7 years old. Flipping more pages he found that the mother died last year, father unkown thus the big label stamped under the childs name read bastard.

The man snarled and held up the file higher, then there were pictures falling out of the file. Curious the man picked them up on the back one read the year of Luffy's birth. The picture was of Luffy just freshly born he was no bigger then the two hands that held him in it. Another was when Luffy was 3 he was so tiny. Looking up Garp turned towards Luffy who held his tiny hands out to the man. "You, put this in my cabin on the ship" Garp shoved the folder and pictures into another young marine. Taking the very small Luffy into his arms. The child was doomed to be small forever. "What is it about him, that you hate" Garp's even tone made the Doctor flinch. "He's a devil fruit user" the man whimpered out. Turning the Marine left and a week later he was on the seas heading towards Dawn island to give Luffy to a care taker.

*present*

The sprite had worn himself out after being up since the crack of dawn slept peacefully against the Garp, as he finally stepped foot on Dawn Island. Garp whistled obnoxiously walking along a beaten path through the woods. Two hours later a cruddy looking hut came into view, as Garp smiled and banged on the door. "WHO DARES TO DISTURB ME!" the door was violently flung open revealing a tall, orange curly haired colored women. Luffy startled awake gripped his grandpa tightly. Garp struggled to get the kid off of him and got him down.

Luffys POV

I watched grandpa argue with the scary lady, when a huge dragon-fly flew by. I smiled and laughed chasing it back and forth before grandpa grabbed me after a while. "You're taking care of him" Grandpa shoved me towards the scary women. The lady scowled at me, "He's tiny" she hissed out. "He won't get big like Ace , He's seven already" Grandpa dropped me on the ground when another bug flew by me again and I ran after it.

SPLAT! "Wha I put my hand on my cheek. "...EHH SPIT! GROSS" I rolled on the grass rubbing my face into it. Jumping up I ran in the area were the spit came from. "WHO DID THAT!" I shouted searching the dark shadows than froze. There a really tall kid sat on a dead bear, his eyes screamed with hate. "ACE, There you are!" Grandpa shouted behind me. I jumped and ran to the large man. "Ace will be your new brother Luffy, I will come and visit soon" grandpa patted my head and left. I felt and ache in my chest. MY face scrunched "grandpa" I cried running to him, but scary lady stopped me and picked me up by the scruff of my shirt. Tears stained my face as Grandpa continued to walk away from me ignoring my cries.

I sat in the tiny hut as the served dinner. A bowl of rice was sat in front of me. I stared at it for a moment, then looked around the table. Everyone else had good meat and other food. "Do I get meat and veggies too" my tiny voice caused the bandits to laugh. "Go out into the forest and get the rest yourself brat! All you get is a bowl of rice and that's it!" Dandan shouted with laughter. I stared wide-eyed at her for a moment before I slowly ate my rice. I wasn't halfway threw when ace jumped up and left. "Hey where you going?" I jumped up running after the tall kid (Ace is 14 in this version). I barely dogged the tree the kid through at me, looking around I couldn't find him.

No ONes POV

That was how it was for 3 months then.."FIST OF LOVE!" Ace and Luffy were hit on the head developing lumps. Turning around "Grandpa!" Luffy shouted jumping up and hugging him. "Look at my darling Grandson you've grown!" the man patted Luffy's head, but frowned for split second. He hasn't the man thought eyeing luffy, in fact the boy appeared skinnier then ever. "Grandpa are you listening to me" the sprites shout startled the man out of his thoughts. "What was that Luffy?" Garp asked while starting a sparing match with Ace.

"I can catch fish now! and Surf!" the little sprite shouted excited about his new abilities. However Garp froze whipping around to face his littlest grandson, all the while catching Ace's foot mid-air. "What do you mean you can surf" Garp unknowingly clenching his fist tightly around the others foot. "Yea some kids that go to the beach showed me how to surf! Kensai, Always stays by my side in case I fall in the water!" Luffy continued to babble, while Garp flung Ace into a tree. "Why don't you take me to see this Kensai fellow" Garp picked up Luffy and headed towards the beach.

Upon arriving at the beach the first thing Garp Eyed was the group around Ace's age. "Luffy" a tall dark skin kid called over the sprite. "Come on grandpa" Luffy jumped out of Garp's arms and ran towards them. Garp followed a slower pace. "This is grandpa!" Luffy introduced Garp to them. "Kensai, Sir" Kensai held a hand out and Garp shooked it.

Luffy ran towards the water edge waving at some other kids on the water. Garp took that as his moment. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Garp snarled at the kid. Kensai look shocked as did the other two. "Hey relax I know he has the Devil Fruit in him, and he knows he can't go out there unless I or Ichigo is with him. No one else, he's safe with us I swear." Kensai held up his hand with the other over his heart. Garp somewhat visibly relaxed, then nodded. "Very well then" Garp straighten up when Luffy came running back happy. "Ichigo taught me how to fish too and that clams can be eaten as food to" Luffy babbled on again and Garp just smiled petting Luffy's hair.

Luffys POV

Grandpa trained Ace and I until we couldn't get up anymore. "Grandpa, pick me up" I shouted up at the man after he made a campfire for the night. He laughed and swung me around in his arms. "My little runt" the man snickered and held me to his chest. The warmth from him took me off to sleep.

Nobody POV

"He will never make it as a marine" Ace said from the shadows of the forest. "He might not, but he won't be weak when he gets older" Garp turned to his oldest Grandson. "He's been through so much, and has the ability to standup after being knocked down onto his ass" The man cradled the child that barley weighed 30 pounds sopping wet. A gentle smile made its way to the man face.
