2 One Move?

It has been two days.

Luffy has been sailing in the East Blue. After two days, he unconsciously finished all the food that he had brought inside the barrel.

He had been hungry for quite a while.

Sure enough, he knew that it would be impossible to resist hunger as Luffy.

But, this hunger has been killing him from the inside.

"Man, Luffy was truly lucky. He could rely on his stupid Luck to meet Coby."

"On the other hand, I couldn't even find Alvida's ship after sailing for two whole days. Sure enough, I wasn't wrong about doubts about my luck."

"The moment that cheerful protagonist dead, his luck also faded away. I am now a normal person. I am not even sure if I can awaken my devil fruit anymore."

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel sour.

Rubber Fruit?

No, this was Human-Human Fruit: Model- Nika!

It was one of the strongest devil fruit because of its absurd powers.

But now, he wasn't a cheerful, freedom-loving, and goofy Luffy.

He didn't even know who he was.

Just when he was feeling sad about his fate, he heard a voice from afar.

He immediately turned his head and saw a huge ship. It wasn't a pirate ship but rather a merchant ship.

Seeing this ship, a huge smile hung on his face.

"This is the same merchant ship that will be attacked by Alvida. That means I can find Coby."

"Yess! Even though my luck has gone down, I can still find Alvida Pirates."

Luffy brightly smiled and slowly moved the sails toward that ship.

As he thought, this ship was soon spotted by another ship. Unlike the merchant ship, this new ship had a flag flapping on the top.

A Pirate Ship!

Alvida Pirate Ship to be exact.

That bright smile didn't fade away. It looked more and more like that Luffy bright smile.

Luffy slowly moved his small boat toward the merchant ship. Because his boat was quite small, the merchant ship and the pirate ship didn't spot it.

The pirates from Alvida Ship started invading the merchant ship.

At this moment, a long arm stretched to the Alvida Ship's fence.

[Gomu-Gomu No - Grab]

Luffy's body suddenly dashed toward the Alvida Ship like a slingshot. It was so fast that, most people didn't even notice it.

Just when his body was on the ship, he swung his arm slightly and his body flew up.

"Hello, pirates!"

But more than his body, he raised his leg toward the sky. It was like a tower, moving toward the clouds.

[Gomu-Gomu No Ono]

Bang!

His foot came crashing down so fast that it broke the wood beneath him. Slowly, the entire ship crashed in half. Only the hull was still connected. With that much power, the ship started falling into the water.

"What?"

"Oh my god! What happened? Are we dying?"

"Idiot! Look, someone attacked us."

The pirate started shouting in a frenzy. At this moment, even the people on the merchant ship couldn't take their eyes off the pirate ship.

Everyone's eyes fell on a certain person. This person was none other than the man wearing Straw Hat, Monkey D Luffy.

[You broke the Enemy's Ship and obtained 30 Proficiency Points]

Alvida also saw the power of that stretchy leg destroying her ship. She couldn't help but shake in fear.

But, as a pirate, her fear only lasted a few seconds before she stared at the unknown kid in front of her and shouted.

"Bastard, who the hell are you? Why did you break our ship?"

"Me? My name is Monkey D Luffy."

Although he said that, for some reason, there wasn't a big smile on his face. He simply introduced himself.

"I am a pirate just like you. So, do you understand my greetings?"

Hearing his introduction, Alvida's expression turned ugly as she clenched her fist. But, then she realized something as she asked.

"Then, where is your pirate ship?"

"Oh! That…. Actually, I just became a pirate two days ago. I haven't gathered my crew and don't have a ship yet. So, I need your help."

Luffy slightly bowed his head with confusion flashing in his eyes.

"Please give me your treasure so that I can buy a ship!"

Thud!

Everyone on the Alvida Pirate ship and merchant ship crashed on the head.

"Idiot! Who the hell asks for treasure after crashing their ship?"

Alvida stood up from the crash and shouted.

"Is that so? Sorry about the ship. After you give me your treasure, I can compensate for your ship."

Luffy scratched his head in confusion. In fact, he wasn't showing his confusion about crashing Alvida's ship but rather why would he lower his head while saying please?

He subconsciously thought that it was just a reaction to his body.

"Bastard! That is my treasure. Why would I give it to you? Boys, kill him!"

Alvida roared as she pointed her mace at Luffy.

Hearing her roar, one of her crew trembled and asked.

"But boss, he is so strong. He can even stretch his leg. Can we defeat him?"

"Bastard, can't you see? He doesn't have a crew. He is alone. Use the number, attack him at once."

Alvida slapped the head of that pirate and shouted at the others.

Hearing her words, everyone instantly regained their confidence and roared toward Luffy.

"Bastard, die!"

They were holding their swords as they rushed toward Luffy.

Luffy suddenly smirked. His arms reached back and came forward with an extremely fast speed. It created an illusion of several arms moving back and forth as he struck those pirates.

[Gomu-Gomu No Gattling]

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, nearly dozens of people fly out. Every one of them got one of their body parts broken. Most of them got their teeth broken.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Splash! Splash! Splash!

Some of them fell on the water while some of them fell on the sinking ship. But no doubt, all of them fell after a single attack.

[You defeated thirty Alvida Pirates and earned 30 Evolution Points]

"Ugly aunt, I realized something. Since you and I are pirates, I don't have to ask for treasure from you. I can just take it."

Luffy stretched out his arm back while speaking.

"Wait, wait, we can talk about it. Wait!"

Alvida also saw him preparing for the attacks. She tried to scream at him but Luffy was too fast. His fist contracted the moment it reached its maximum distance.

[Gomu-Gomu No Pistol]

Bang!

His fist collided with Alvida and sent her several meters away from the ship. She fell into the sea but because of her big size, she didn't drown.

[You defeated Alvida and earned 10 Evolution Points]

Looking at the notifications in front of him, Luffy was surprised.

'So, does that mean Alvida was equal to the strength of ten normal pirates? Then again, a normal pirate is just a human with the courage to kill others.'

'So, one proficiency point means one normal pirate.'

Realizing this fact, Luffy turned his head toward the drowning ship.

He felt his feet getting wet.

He quickly turned his head around and saw a pink kid hiding behind the barrel.

"Hey you, come here!"

Luffy gave the aura of a strong person as he spoke to Coby.

The boy shivered in fear. He barely turned around as he looked at Luffy.

"Collect all of Alvida's treasures and follow me!"

Luffy gave him orders as he stretched his arm toward his small boat.

Although he could take Alvida's ship, he didn't think using other pirates' ships for his own was a good sign of becoming a pirate.

Since he was going to become a pirate, he wanted to ride on his own ship. Until then, he would use this boat as his ship.

That's why he didn't hesitate when destroying Alvida's ship.

He slowly moved his boat toward the sinking ship. Coby was diving under the ship and collecting the treasure.

That boy collected all of the treasure before the ship entirely sank.

He swam toward Luffy's boat and pushed the treasure without even looking into Luffy's eyes.

Luffy saw shivering Coby and his expression twitched. Because he didn't meet Coby in a conventional way, he didn't know what to say.

But, the next moment, laughter came out of his mouth followed by a few words.

"Boy, you are such a coward. Don't you have any dreams?"

When Luffy said that, his eyes once again showed those confused looks. But, he didn't think too much.

He realized that he had no identity right now. So, no matter what he thinks, he wouldn't be able to get a proper answer.

Hearing his words, Coby suddenly fired up and shouted.

"Of course not! I have a dream. I want to become a marine and catch all the pirates."

His voice was so loud that every on the merchant ship heard him and looked at him with pity.

Coby also realized what he just said and his expression immediately sank as he closed his eyes.

But, he didn't find any punches or kicks. He only heard laughter.

"Hahaha! Good dream. Then, do you want to join the Marines? I heard there is a Marine Branch in Shells Town. If you take me there, you can join the Marines."
