What would happen if the captain wasn't as naive as he looked like and his power was from the same kind as his brothers.

What would happen if he was trained by the best marine grandfather to be the best marine of all and was initiated by one of the four emperors to the pirate world.

Though, don't get me wrong on this. He will be neither a marine nor an underling for the emperor.

First his power coming as a gift for being born from his father.

Second is fighting ability as a grace from his grandfather.

Third is ambition from the emperor.

Last but no least is his will to achieve what a pirate inspired him with the teachings of a marine and the power given from the head of the revolutionary army.

What will happen to the world when he becomes king? No one knows and everybody is sure.

That is, no one knows what it is going to be but everybody is sure that is going to be one hell of a fun world.


"Hey, what did you write just now?" a woman's voice could be heard from behind as the book quickly closed and slid into an inner pocket of the man's overcoat.

"Shishishi, nothing. Maybe I was just scribbling or drawing." the man turned his face to the woman with large smile on his face.

"Hmph! Suit yourself. If you don't want to share then don't after all you are the captain." charmingly pouting and speaking with her face away from him the woman couldn't be any more alluring that now.

"Come on, don't be like that. You know that there are no secrets between us and when is just the two of us there is no need for formalities either." bringing her into his embrace he lifted her chin and placed a light kiss on her lips.

Distancing her face from his to have a better look on his face she couldn't help but smirk.

"Unfair." just as her words left, her mouth went after his as if looking for her fleeting words inside his mouth.

A nice and good long frencFh kiss that drowned them both.

The parting of the lips for a few seconds to catch gasps of air only for the lips to meet again.

After a few more exchanges the lips parted and the heads got a little away from each other.

Crimson red.

That's how both faces could be described as.

"It is time for us to head out. Everybody should be waiting for us." turning around so she could catch some breath.

She left his embrace and straightened her clothes and went to wait besides the door.

"Who is the unfair one?" the man only had a smile on his red face as he looked at the woman as if in a daze.

He tried as best as he could to control the color of his face while also straightening his clothes.

"Tell me how am I supposed to look at everyone in the eye with me in this state." though his clothes were in order the same couldn't be said for his face.

"Just tell them that you got sunburned. Hihihi" with a hand covering her mouth, her alluring laugh caught his attention.

Without a moment before the laugh vanished, the lips met one more time.

"Shishishi, I guess it means that we both got sunburned then." the man opened the door while laughing and stepped outside as the woman boldly followed his steps without hesitation as her flushed face was even more evident now.

"Hey Luffy. What were you doing right before your first speech as the captain of Straw-Hats Fleet? Until now it was okay since it was just us from the ship but now you have to set an image for all of those who are part of the subdivisions." one eye closed and the other fiercely staring at him.

"Shishishi, did Robin write what you just said Zoro?" as he laughed at his companion he slowly walked to the figurehead of a giant lion.

"No but everything from the moment we appear on is all written by me, Captain Luffy." through her words a small giggle could be felt as she fought hard to not let it out loud.

"Shishishi, I guessed as much since Zoro would probably just slash something in the air and yell some battle words at everyone if left for him. By the way, what's up with the Captain Luffy stuff? There has never been this side of us." as they approached the figurehead a loud noise could be heard.

"We have to present ourselves better in front of the others, Captain." a man by his side was lightening his cigarette and puffing a few clouds of smoke to calm himself.

"Even you Sanji? Okay, I won't say more but you better drop the act as soon as this is over." just as his words finished so did his path to the figurehead.

Standing proudly with his people by his side.

To his right side were Zoro, Robin, Usopp and Franky respectively while to his left were Nami, Sanji, Chopper and Brook.

In front of him was a myriad of ships all under one flag of a skull wearing a hat made of straw.

Grabbing the Den Den Mushi in front of him.

"Hmm ... Hello!" few words and a grin.

"Though I'm here today to give speech as the Captain of this fleet I don't really want to do it ... " as his words left his mouth the people by his side couldn't help but start to fight hard not to laugh.

"... actually if it wasn't for my crew saying that it would be too troublesome to keep running around and doing everything ourselves and that some self acclaimed sons and daughters of mine needed to be brought under I really wouldn't even bother getting anyone else aboard my ship ... " while some were laughing in the crowd others had dumbfounded looks on their faces.

"... but I won't complain for a decision made by the whole crew unless it goes against what I want sometimes." pausing to catch his breath he glanced at all of those in front of him to see their reaction because for the ones besides him there wasn't even a need to look as their laughs was loud to the point of interfering with the transmission.

"So as the Captain of the Straw-hat Fleet I order each and every one of you! Do as you please and be FREE! Shishishi." he grabbed a bottle near him lifting it high up as his voice reached each and everyone present.

Just as his words sank into everybody's ear loud cheers followed.

"And now ... LET THE BANQUET BEGIN!"


"After all the trouble I had to go to remember every word Robin wrote on that speech you go ahead and make it all for naught." Zoro gulped a large mug of beer while taking a bite on a piece of meat.

"Shishishi, at least you didn't need to worry about saying something wrong." Luffy was with a piece of meat on each hand eating and laughing with everyone around him.

"Well, what else could we expect from Luffy? That is just how he is." Usopp was just like Zoro with a mug in one hand and meat on the other.

"It is already good enough that he didn't disband the fleet before he even began it." Sanji was bringing another huge plate of food with another barrel of beer.

"Fufufu, I actually had a good guess that he would make something like this and that is why I made Zoro remember all of that." Robin's giggled as she looked at Zoro.

"Then why did you make me remember all of that? I really had a hard time trying to." emptying another mug and looking directly at Robin he could help but sigh.

It was obvious to everyone present that she was just teasing him all the time even making him needlessly remember a full speech without missing a word.

"What is done is done. There is no use thinking about it anymore. Shishishi but maybe I should have let Zoro speak before I went up." laughing while eating and drinking as if nothing else mattered was a trade mark of this captain.

"For gods sake Luffy, at least show some restraint in front of all the other captains from the ships in the fleet. How are they to act when the captain of the fleet acts like you do?" Nami that was silently looking over the situation couldn't help but try to correct Luffy's behavior in front of everybody else.

"They should act like they want to. None of my business as long as they don't try to interfere with my ship. Shishishi."

"Yohohoho! It has been a long time since I did a great show as this one. It makes me feel alive again even though I'm already dead. Yohoho" just as everybody was chatting Brook came over with a towel around his neck on his performance costume.

"Yo, Brook. How was the show?" Luffy lifted his head to see Brook who was sitting around with everybody else.

"Marvelous. It makes your bones shake with excitement. Yohohoho." Brook who just sat with them took out a guitar and started to play while they chatted.

"By the way, weren't Chopper and Franky with you? Why don't I see them anywhere?" Usopp noticed the absence of the remaining 2 main straw-hats.

"Chopper notice that we had run out of some medicine and decided to head to a nearby port and Franky went along with him." considering Chopper's personality even if they were in the middle of a party he would prioritize his duty as doctor first so it was comprehensive.

Just as they were talking Luffy stopped eating and stood up which caused everyone to stare at him as he stopped eating.

"What happened Luffy? Why did you stop eating?" Nami who was close to him was the first to ask why the different behavior.

Smiling to her from ear to ear just a word left his mouth. "Toilet."

"Don't take too long or else when Chopper and Franky arrive you won't be here." Nami who judged it as nothing more returned to chat with the others.

Just as he got inside the ship where there was no one near a Den Den Mushi started to ring inside his coat's inner pocket.

"Got it." the call was short and his response short as well.

As the call ended another Den Den Mushi could be heard ringing inside the ship.

"Yo Chopper, what is taking you so long just to come back after buying some medicine?" Luffy's merry voice went through the Den Den Mushi but no answer came back.

"Hey, are you hearing me Chopper?" His voice not so merry now.

After a few seconds of silence.

"How have you been straw-hat? It has been a long time since we saw it each has it not? Guess since your brothers death maybe?" the voice that came back was in no way Chopper's or Franky's voice. It was a heavy and grave voice that all of them knew pretty well.

"What did you do to them, Akainu?" Luffy's face was dark as he stared in the direction that Chopper and Franky supposedly went.

"Them? For now they are just locked away. But if a certain pirate fleet captain doesn't do as said they may be executed before their trial for trying to break from imprisonment." the threatening voice from the other side was venous.

"Speak."

"We know that you just formed your straw hat fleet and that is not something that we can ignore ..." the voice spoke slowly as to sink the words in.

" ... and so, even though it goes against my wish it is an absolute order and we are willing for a negotiation." Akainu's voice stopped after his words went through.

"Continue."

"The head for the body. We want you in exchange for your crew, of course you are more than welcome to come and battle it out for them but I'm sure that the executioners blade is not going to wait for you to try and get near them." Akainu's voice contained all the poison he could probably infuse in his words.

"What if I decline and go to war?" the captain's voice was clearly angrier than ever before.

"Foosha Village, Cocoyasi Village, Shimotsuki Village, Syrup Village, Restaurant Baratie, Alabasta Kingdom, Drum Island, Water 7 and a whale at the beginning. All under the vigilance of vice admirals with a buster call in hand ready to proceed." at each name mentioned by Akainu, Luffy's brows creased further.

"And how do you expect me to believe someone who offers such kind of negotiations?" Luffy's voice was heavy as his anger could be felt through the Den Den Mushi.

"I expect that your grandfather taught you the marine code of honor, didn't him? Justice above all but Honor above Justice though we use only the first part on our banners but we from the upper leaders position follow mainly the second part." Akainu's voice was firm as if stating a fact know to all.

"What happens to my crew after I've been captured?" Luffy's voice was clearly more worried about this topic over his own safety.

"Nothing ... if they behave themselves." the sinister voice made by the fleet admiral was as if saying that he hoped for something to happen.

"The location for the exchange?" Luffy's voice was resolute.

"Your crew will be left on the port city they were capture while you will come 100 km to the east. There will be a marine warship waiting for you there." Akainu's voice was clear and heavy as if sentencing someone to death with pleasure.

"As soon as I have confirmation of them being released I'll head to the exchange point."

"I'll be waiting."


Author Notes:

That was one hell of a long chapter for a introduction but I don't think it clearly explain what I'm trying to accomplish since I'll try to rewrite most of the arcs from One Piece, it may turn bad and it my not but I think it is going to have a nice taste.

I do like the original work very much and that is why I want to write "another version" with a dark side Luffy, though still someone who gets kicked around in the beginning (sometimes at the end too) of the arcs. For his power I have 2 possible powers that have almost the same usage but by the next chapter I'll have it decided.

I've spell checked and proofread it but may have missed some errors so please pm me/review to let me know if any are spotted.

I'm working on this project but didn't forget about my other works it's just that I can't seem to write something cool as a new chapter for them.

For this piece I have more ideas than I can currently write as RL keeps getting busier and busier but I still find some time since I like this plot I'm playing with.

100 km something around 62.2 miles.
