Blackbeard's crew is also a diverse bunch. His more aggressive members like Burgess might be eager to start a fight with Luffy's crew. However, some of the more cunning members could be thinking of ways to use the situation to their advantage. They might try to manipulate Luffy or his crew into making mistakes. And if Blackbeard decides on a certain course of action, his crew would generally follow, but there could be some internal dissent depending on the situation.
It could also be that instead of fighting right away, there's a tense stand - off. Luffy, remembering Ace's past encounters with Blackbeard, would be full of anger and distrust. Blackbeard, on the other hand, might try to taunt Luffy, trying to get him to make a rash move. The situation could escalate slowly as they exchange words, with their crews on edge, waiting for the first sign of action.
Well, in such a fanfiction, Ace might be worried about Luffy. Since Blackbeard is a dangerous character. He could decide to go and find Luffy to protect him. Maybe he'd start looking for Blackbeard too, to make sure he doesn't harm his little brother.
She could be a former pirate captain herself. Maybe she was one of the most feared pirates in her time, and her skills and reputation were passed down to Luffy in some way, even if he didn't know it was from his mother.
They could start with a big hug. Then Shanks might tease Luffy about his still - crazy appetite. Luffy, in turn, could show off his new crew members to Shanks.
In a fanfiction where Luffy meets Roger, it could be an amazing encounter. Roger might see in Luffy the same spirit of adventure and freedom that he had. He could pass on some hidden knowledge about the One Piece or give Luffy a cryptic hint about the true nature of the Grand Line. This meeting could also inspire Luffy even more, fueling his determination to become the Pirate King. It would be a moment full of emotion and significance for both characters and for the entire One Piece universe.
It could be a powerful pirate crew that has a vendetta against either Luffy or Sabo. Maybe they have some history with the Straw Hat Pirates or Sabo's group.
Well, in such a fanfiction, Luffy might gain some valuable advice from Roger. Maybe Roger could share his experiences about the One Piece and the Grand Line, which would inspire Luffy further in his journey to become the Pirate King.
A possible plotline could be a battle scenario. Maybe there's a powerful enemy threatening both Luffy's crew and Marco's group. So they meet on the battlefield and have to quickly figure out how to work together. Their different fighting styles, Luffy's Gum - Gum powers and Marco's phoenix - related abilities, make for an exciting combination in combat.
