1 Chapter 1

Whoa. That's a big barrel.I wonder what is inside. " Coby said he moved the barrel

Three pirates appear

"If isn't our favorite loser Coby." One laughed

"Are you trying get away from the action" said a other

"No just getting some provisions." Coby stuttered

The three pirates look at the barrel Coby had in front of him.

"We will take that off your hands. Probably some good booze."

"If Lady Alvida finds out she will punish you." Coby

"She won't find out unless you keep your mouth shut. Do understand." Said with a glare

"Yes" Coby

One pirate decided to open the barrel.  He was about to open the barrel until it got destroyed. Coby and the pirates looked at the spot where the barrel was destroyed. There stood a man there. The man was tall, he had silver hair,closed eyes, white and black clothing. The hilt of a blade could be seen under his clothes. He had a smile on his face. Coby and the pirates could tell his smile was fake.

"Who do fuck are you" Yells a pirate

"Didn't parents teach you not talk to strangers. Especially ugly ones like yourself." The man laughs

"Who do you think you are? We're the ruthless Alvida Pirates and-"

"I'm starving. You know where the food is kid?" he asked Coby, ignoring the other two pirates.

"DON'T IGNORE US!" the pirates screamed as they brought their swords down on the man, causing Coby to scream. The man didn't even flinch he took out his own sword. He slices the pirates swords into pieces. The pirates fell back, looking scared. "What was that for now?"  just stared in fright before they asked "W-who are you?"   "Me. I'm Ichimaru Luffy. Hello." he said before the pirates fled. "Losers." Luffy laughed before looking at Coby. "What's your name kid?" Coby just stared at Luffy in awe before he snapped out of it and answered "M-m-my name's C-Coby."

"Great, so where's the food?" Luffy

"There s-should be a pantry over there." he said as he pointed towards a door, Luffy goes there and gets some food. "You really should leave. Those pirates will be back with their friends to kill you."

"Who were they?" Luffy asked

"Those guys were pirates under the command of the lady pirate Captain Alvida. She's ruthless with that iron mace of hers and she won't hesitate to shatter your skull with it." Coby said as he started shaking in fear.

"Are you one of them?" Luffy asked. He saw Coby look at him and explain that it wasn't by will, but by accidently boarding a boat of theirs, thinking it was a fishing boat and had been brought on as a cabin boy for the last two years.

"Why not leave?" Luffy

"No way. Impossible, impossible. I can't escape from Alvida. Just thinking of what Alvida would do to me scares me so much I could throw up. Nope, nope, nope, no-"

BAM! Luffy's fist shot out, nailing Coby in the head as he fell back clutching it. "Why'd you hit me?"

"Felt like it." Luffy said. Coby just sat back up as he rubbed his head. "Heh. Well I'm use to it anyway. All the other pirates on her ship smack me around for laughs."

"So you're a coward and a weakling huh?" Luffy said with a laugh. "I hate people like you." Coby just hung his head in shame. "Way to state the obvious Luffy." he said before looking back at Luffy. "So Luffy, what made you go out to sea?" "To become King of the Pirates." He had to hold back his laugh at Coby's face.

"You're a pirate?" Coby croaked out.

"Yep." Luffy

"Crew?" Coby

"Just me. I just started." Luffy said

"The King of the Pirates is the title given to one man who has it all. Wealth. Fame. Power. That means that you're aiming for the ultimate treasure. You're going after the One Piece!"

"Yep." Luffy

"No way no way no way no way! Millions of other pirates are after that prize and you're only one person. It can't be done! Impossible, impossible, impo-"

BAM!

"Why'd you hit me?"

"Felt like it." Luffy said as he took his straw hat off his head to stare at it. Dreams don't work unless you take action. The Surest way to make your dreams true is to live them."If I die trying, then I'll die."

Your would do that for dream?" Coby said before he looked at the ground in thought. Luffy

"Luffy. Do you think...if I tried...that I could be a marine?"

"A marine?" Luffy asked surprised

as Coby looked at him with determination. "It's always been my dream to be a marine and hunt down criminals! I know it would mean we'd be enemies, but do you think I could do it?"

"I don't know. You won't either if you don't get off this boat." Luffy answered back as he headed for the door.

"Then I'll do it. I'm not gonna be Alvida's cabin boy forever. I'm gonna join the marines! And then I'm gonna catch Alvida first!" he screamed before the ceiling above him caved in, causing him to panic and run, his courage going out the window in spades.

"Who are you going to catch Coby?" said a gruff woman's voice as the debris cleared, showing a fat woman with more chins that stars in the sky. She looked over at Luffy before grinning. "Who's this runt? He doesn't look like pirate hunter Zoro. Last i heard he was captured by the marines at Shell Town." 

Alvida barked Coby's name, making the boy cower in fear. "Who is the most lovely woman on the seas?"

"W-w-why that's y-you Lady Alvida?" Coby stammered. Luffy decides to fun make of Alvida " What a lovely lady? All can see is a whale.

The pirates, Coby, and Alvida just gaped at Luffy as the pirates looked frightened as Alvida growled before snapping. "BRAT!" she screamed as she brought her iron mace down towards Luffy, who quickly jumped out of the way. "Let's go." he said to Coby before grabbing him by his shirt collar and jumping out of the hole Alvida made. Luffy stared around as the pirates surrouned him.

The pirates charged him. Luffy disappears

"Where did he go " Said a pirate

"Right behind you." Luffy said before stabbing him in the back.

"I was thinking of sparing you guys but I have changed my mind." Luffy said as he opened his eyes

"Time to die." Luffy said with a dark expression

In a flash the pirates were massacred by Luffy.

"Luffy killed them." Thought Coby scared

"Who is he." Alvida thought scared

"Just who are." Alvida

"Me. I am just a wet behind the ears pirate." Luffy said as he closed his eyes again and smiles

"So this how I die. Killed by a rookie pirate." Alvida thought

"Shoot to kill Shinso." Luffy said activating his shikai

Luffy's sword extends at fast speeds. Luffy hits Alvida blunt side of his blade. Alvida is send flying by this attack.

"I hope you a have a safe landing." Luffy

"You don't mean that do you." Coby

"Of course not." Luffy laughed

Suddenly cannonballs were fired.

Would you look at that." Luffy said as cannonballs started raining down around them.

"It's the marines!" Coby shouted as three marine vessels closed in on them. "If they find me on this boat, my dream will die before it starts!"

Luffy looked around he saw a boat a nearby. "Don't worry Coby. You're joining the marines for sure." he said before he grabbed Coby and jumped over the railings. He looked down and sure enough, there was another boat in the water with one person tying a bag of what could only be treasure safely to it. "HEADS UP!" he shouted, gaining her attention before they fell into Nami's boat, shocking her."

"Are you crazy?!" she shouted at Luffy.

"Nope." he said with a smile before pointing at himself. "I'm Luffy. This is Coby." he said as he pointed at Coby. "Can you help us get away from here?"

"Why should I? Who are you guys anyway?"

"Less talking. More rowing." he said before he let go of Coby and grabbed an oar, rowing away as fast as he could. He smiled as he rowed while Nami screamed as she hung on for dear life. After about 5 minutes, Luffy finally stopped rowing and looked back at Nami and Coby, who had woken up after awhile, and smiled. "Well that was fun."

"No it wasn't!" Coby and Nami screamed at him, causing him to laugh. Nami sighed as she looked at the Luffy. He was a little taller than her with silver hair. He was wearing white and black clothing and sandals. Nami could tell the smile on his face was fake. She then turned to Coby. He wore a white shirt, black slacks, and white shoes, looking a little like a marine outfit. He had pink hair, blue glasses, and a little baby fat on his chin.

"Who exactly are you two anyway?" she asked.

"This is Coby." Luffy said as Coby raised up his hand and gave a meek greeting.

"And you?" she asked looking at Luffy.

"Me? Ichimaru Luffy. Hi." he said, smiling at her. "Who are you by the way?" he asked

"I'm Nami." she said, keeping a close eye on the two of them.

Has anyone told you your smile looks creepy." Nami

"Does my smile look creepy? " Luffy said as he looked at Coby

"Yes. It makes you seem untrustworthy." Coby

"Oh" Luffy

"So, where are you going anyway?" she asked. Luffy smiled at her before answering.

"Do you know where the closest Marine base
