Hello everyone this is my first story so I hope it does well. This is a One Piece story as I can assume you know, but it is a different take on it. There will be some similarities to other stories on this site so if you recognize them and think I am copying them to much then just tell me. Another thing about this story is that the when Luffy eats his Devil Fruit it will be a hybrid. It will contain three different abilities from the three classes of Devil Fruit. Don't worry I won't make him overpowered with this, but to go along with this I will also give him a basic understanding of Haki and the ability to use it to some extent but not be very good at it. And another thing I'm going to give him is dual swords on the back because in my honest opinion that just looks flat out badass and the zoan power he gets will compliment the swords in a extremely badass way. So without further adoo let this awesome adventure begin.

Chapter 1: The Start of an Adventure

Luffy was sitting in Makino's bar enjoying a juice with Shanks and his crew when all of the sudden they heard a loud bang from the door.

"So this is what passes for pirates in this world huh?" said a voice from the entrance.

Everyone turned around to see a man in a brown coat standing in the entrance with a bunch of men standing behind him. He had a huge looking sword over his shoulder and had a very menacing look on his face. "I'm a mountain bandit you see and my friends and I are here to get some rum, so if you give me some I want have to trash this place to much." the mountain bandit said with an extremely smug look on his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry sir but we are all out of rum. It seems that Shanks and his friends drank it all." Makino told the man. This did not make him happy, in fact it actually pissed him off quite a bit.

"Sorry my friend but it seems we drank this place dry, so here have this unopened bottle of rum as payment." Shanks said to the pissed off mountain bandit(to lazy to look the name up).

The bandit went up to Shanks and grabbed the bottle from him and then threw it at him. "You see I have an 8 million Berry bounty so one bottle of rum will not work for me, and seeing how this place is completely out of and sort of drink we'll be leaving."

As soon as they left Shanks and his entire crew burst out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. All that laughter after what just happened pissed off Luffy to the point where he went and yelled at all of them. "Why are you just laughing after being embarrassed like that, its just not right!" Luffy was at his breaking point so he punched Shanks across the face and to everyone in the rooms surprise the man went flying into a wall. At the exact moment Luffy punched him a fruit in a box caught his eye so he grabbed it and ate it.

"Luffy do you know what you just did?" Shanks asked him after getting over the initial shock of realizing that Luffy just punched him with a haki infused fist.

"What did I do?" Luffy wondered while he swallowed down the rest of that horrible tasting fruit that was in the box.

"You just used-WAIT DID YOU JUST EAT THE FRUIT THAT WAS IN THAT BOX." Shanks yelled at him after realizing what Luffy had just put into his mouth.

"Ya, but it tasted disgusting." Luffy told the man.

"YOU DUMBASS! Luffy that fruit was apart of a group of fruits called the Devil Fruits, they grant their users special powers but at the same time take away your ability to swim!" Shanks shouted at the boy. When he climbed out of the hole that was made when he got hit he walked up to Luffy and punched him in the face for being such a dumbass. What happened next scared the living shit out of everybody there... the boys head stretched all the way to the wall and then snapped right back into place a few seconds later.

"COOL, my body is super stretchy now!" Luffy exclaimed after getting over the initial shock of having his head stretch really far back.

"So that was the Gum Gum Fruit that you ate." Shanks wondered aloud. 'But why was it three different colours, makes me think that it was a hybrid but thats impossible those things are just legends.'

Luffy was on the ground getting beat up by the mountain bandits who didn't seem to notice when Shanks crew walked up to them until they heard a loud crack and one of their men was on the ground with a bullet whole in his head. They all turned around and saw the horrible sight in front of them. 'Oh shit' was the first thought that went through every bandit there.

"Let him go." Shanks demanded of the men in front of him.

"But this little shit started it." the leader said to Shanks until a thought crossed his mind. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a smoke bomb. He threw it on the ground in front of him and disappeared.

"SHIT, he took Luffy!" Shanks yelled.

"Ha those damn pirates will never think to look for a mountain bandit at sea!" Higuma (name of the bandit) stated with joy, until the sea king that lived off the shore of the village appeared and ate him alive. At the same time the boat that Luffy and Higuma were in flipped over and to Luffy's shock he was on top of the water. The sea king then turned his gaze to Luffy until something hit him in the back of his head. The monster turned his gaze from the boy and looked at the man with the red hair and straw hat on his head. The monster then started rushing towards him until Shanks looked up with the gaze that would freeze anybody in their tracks.

The monster freaked out and ran away. Shanks then turned his gaze to the boy in the water and was about to jump in until he noticed that Luffy wasn't in the water but instead he was on the water. 'So it was a hybrid' Shanks thought to himself silently.

Luffy began to get up after getting over his initial shock of being on the water and then ran back to shore.

"Shanks I was on top of the water isn't it amazing!" Luffy exclaimed to the man. "Sure is Luffy, I had a feeling that the fruit that you ate was a fabled hybrid devil fruit but I never guessed it would also give you the ability over water." Shanks replied. "And another thing Luffy earlier when you punched me into the wall you used haki, do you know what that is?"

"No idea so what is it?"

"A power that I am going to teach you the basics of over these next six months."

Six months later.

"So your leaving." Luffy said to the man across from him.

"Yes I am." said man replied.

"Well I'm going to become a pirate and have a crew thats better than even you crew, and then one day I'm going to become the Pirate King!" Luffy yelled so that every one could hear him.

"Really now? Well if thats the case then hold onto this for me until you become a great pirate." Shanks told Luffy as he put his favorite straw hat on Luffy's head.

Ten years went by in a flash without anything really happening except for Sabo's death at the hands of the Celestrial Dragons. But in time the fated day of Luffy's departure arrived. He was standing on the dock in his red cardigan shirt, his trademark sandals and blue shorts on with a black hooded cloak he had received as a parting gift from Dadan and her group. The cloak hid the two swords that were sheathed on his back that he Shanks had told Makino to hold onto until he turned 13. "All right its finally time to leave and to start my adventure!" And with that Luffy finally left his for his long awaited adventure into the world of a pirate.

Ok finally got the part of the story that I was dreading the most out of the way. I know that there are people waiting to see what Luffy's third power is but you'll have to wait a little bit and by that I mean either next chapter or the one after that. And before you get all pissed at me for giving him two swords it just looks flat out BA.

All right guys I will see you next time and please when you review just know that criticism is welcome.
