TIME SKIP

With years finally passing since Luffy was sent back into his 7 year old self's body and him finally being 17, Luffy is on his way to becoming a pirate and meeting his crew once more.

so with it being a sunny day, Luffy sets out to sea on a small boat, saying goodbye to all his friends and family on the island and punching the sea king that ate higuma in the face for good luck.

when he was far enough from view, Luffy had no choice but to abandon his boat where it was and use geppo to fly his way to Alvida ship.

after a few hours of relentless kicks he finally saw the ship in his view and tried to sneak his way onto the ship but was spotted by a few pirates, so he had no choice but to knock them out.

once he was sure no one else was watching him. he made his way to the storage room and waiting till they started attacking marine ship.

He used observation haki to sense where Cony was on the ship and when he was close enough he grabbed him to pull him inside.

Coby : " wh...who...who are...y...you?"

Luffy : " relax kid, I'm liffy, nice to meet yah"

Coby : " how did you get on this ship"

Luffy : " well I just stowed away because I was hungry and I have been listening to how they treat you for a while now, you really need to stand up for yourself"

Coby : " whaaat, no I cant, if I do that then I'll be killed, it's impossible impossible impossible impossible impossible impossible impos-

BONK!

Luffy gave Coby a BONK on the head

Coby : " ow, why did you hit me?"

Luffy : " because I hate people like you, who never try because they think it won't work"

Coby : " but it is impossible"

Luffy : " and how do you know that 8f you never even try. you know what. you are going to say what you really feel about her right now"

Coby : " wha-"

Luffy open the door and pushed Coby out of the storage unit. he kept pushing until Coby was standing Infront of Alvida herself.

Alvida : " what are you doing and who is this kid next to yah"

Luffy : " go on, say it"

Coby : " b b b but but"

Luffy : "no buts, just say it or else you will never achieve anything in your life"

Coby listens to these words by Luffy and felt that his dream of becoming a marine was never going to become real if he didn't say it right now and here.

Coby : " captain Alv-v-vi-vida"

Alvida : " what is it, have you come to tell me how beautiful I am?"

Coby : " you are....you are the most..."

Alvida : " I'm the most what?"

Coby : " the-the-the-the most horrible, stinking old hag of all"

Luffy : shishishishishishi"

Coby : " I'm going to become time and I'm going to capture pirates just like you"

Alvida : " WHAAAAAA!"

Alvida was angry now and she showed it by lifting her giant slicked club above both the boy's heads and swung it down on them.

however when Coby thought that he was finally going to die, Luffy brought out his arm and stopped the club before it even hit, to the surprise of many who were watching.

Luffy : " now you don't get to ruin someone else's dream just because they told the truth, you old hag"

with that said, Luffy wound up his fist far more than what a normal person could do and used his iconic attack.

Luffy : " GOMU GOMU NO PISTOL!!!!!!"

and hit the old hag right in her guts, sending her flying up and across the sea, far beyond what the human eye could see.

Luffy : "shishishi now that's dealt with, we are going to shell town"

.

.

Luffy and Cony eventually made it to shell town and headed to where Zoro was being kept and talked with him.

after the little girl was thrown over the wall and Luffy caught her he went over to the bar to eat something.

while he was there he saw nami sitting at one of the tables so he gave her a little wave before sitting down himself.

when helmeppo came in and started loudly speaking about how he was going to execute Zoro tommorow, Luffy gave him a good punch to the face and left in a hurry.

Luffy made his way back to Zoro and explained to him about how he wanted Zoro to join his crew and he was going to get his Katanas.

Luffy wasn't afraid to show off here and used geppo to get to the top of the building where the GAINT statue of Morgan was being placed.

Luffy had "accidently" knocked it over like last time so he had to grab the Katanas quick and get to Zoro.

when he mad it back to Zoro and coby, the squad of marines were about to shoot Zoro dead but Luffy protected them by using his incredible speed to catch all the bullets in mid air.

everyone was surprised by this even the marines who stepped back after this show of power.

Morgan being stupid, he didn't let down and went straight for the kill however Zoro being free now and with his Katanas in hand, he slashed down Morgan easily.

finally Zoro agreed to join Luffy as his crewmate and they all went to the bar to rest and stuff themselves on free food untill the marines threw them out.

Luffy acted out to make it seem like Coby wasn't part of the crew and finally said his goodbyes with a big smile on his face while sailing away with Zoro.
