Disclaimer: as much as I would like to own any part of One Piece I don't.

A/n: I didn't actually feel like writing a full on story, so this skips ahead a lot each chapter. I didn't feel like making two different stories, so I ended up sorta pushing the concepts into one.

I'll be honest, this was going to be a full on story from the beginning, but I kinda gave up and skipped to the Robin and Luffy part after a few chapters. I also didn't get too far into Luffy's powers as I planned. I did just kind of give up on the story, but I hate leaving stories unfinished so I half assed it...

Devil fruit explanation if you want it: the metal-metal fruit allows Luffy to create any metal from the hands and manipulate that metal to go where he directs it and take the shape that he wants. He can also absorb metal into his hand and manipulate metal if he can touch it.

Criticism is accepted, just don't say I should continue or make an M rated version or something, cause I mean, really. I already gave up on the story


Luffy grinned as he reached the shore "Wow we actually got here" he exclaimed excitedly.

"Well yeah we just followed the map" Coby replied with a chuckle. After Luffy tied boat to shore he walked into town.

"Hmm, the first thing we should do is get some meat" Luffy declared.

After seeing the marine base up ahead Luffy stopped. "Hey does anyone know anything about Roronoa Zoro" Luffy called out. Everyone that could hear him quickly jumped back against whatever was behind them.

"Yeah see, trying to recruit this guy is a bad idea, he's nothing less than a monster..." Coby tailed off seeing that Luffy had stopped listening and gone on ahead.

"Anyways I think the person in charge here is Lieutenant Morgan" Coby said. Everyone on the street jumped back again. "Huh I get why'd they'd be scared of Zoro because he's an infamous pirate hunter, but why would they be afraid of Morgan... he's a marine" Coby thought out loud.

Luffy shrugged as he walked into a shop "Hey I thought we were going to the base first since you already started asking questions" Coby said running after Luffy.

"Yeah I was about to, but I just remembered that I was hungry" Luffy replied. Coby sweat dropped but he figured, even they hadn't known each other all that long, that this was to be expected with Luffy.

After they finished eating, they started to head up to the marine base. "Roronoa Zoro is probably hidden in some dungeon under the base because he's so dangerous" Coby explained to Luffy who was looking for him over the wall.

"Hey looks he's right there" Luffy pointed out.

"Don't be ridiculous it has to be someone else... Oh, uh I guess it's him" Coby responded slightly confused as to why they would leave such an infamous person like Roronoa Zoro out in the open.

Coby looked over to see a little girl setting a ladder on the wall and climbing over. The little girl looked over and shushed him when Coby tried to protest. The girl hopped over the wall and ran over to Zoro. "Hey wait" Coby called out. The little girl replied by shushing him.

Luffy snickered "You're even getting pushed around by little girls". Coby merely hung his head in response

No I can't die here Zoro cried out in his mind. As the shots fired Luffy jumped down and spread his arms out blocking the shots. Before anyone could comprehend exactly what happened the bullets whirled around Luffy and back at the marines. After recovering from the shock, Zoro, Coby, and the marines eyes all widened in shock.

"Wh-what are you" Zoro yelled.

"Who me, I'm a metal man" Luffy replied with a big grin. "I can make, absorb and manuplant metal" Luffy explained.

"Do you mean manipulate" Coby asked confused.

Luffy paused for a few moments "Oh yeah that's what I meant" he said grinning. Luffy proceeded to try to untie Zoro's bonds. "I got one undone" Luffy explained, and seemingly proud of himself.

Zoro growled "Just give me my swords" he yelled at Luffy, who then proceeded to hand Zoro his swords. Zoro quickly cut his own bonds and dashed past Luffy. Clashing with the marines, Zoro blocked all fifteen swords.

Zoro pushed up and knocked all the marines back making them stumble. "Ok Zoro duck" Luffy called out bringing his leg back. As Luffy's leg was swinging back metal spread from his palm and down to his leg, seemingly just making an extension of his leg. "Metal-metal whip" Luffy called out as he took out all the marines that Zoro had pushed back in one kick (A/N: just think of it as the gomu-gomu whip except his leg is basically metal instead).

Zoro's eyes twitched while all the marines cowered in fear "THESE PEOPLE ARE MONSTERS" one of the marines called out.

Morgan started growling "Anyone who spouted weakness, I order you to pull out your gun and kill yourself" he ordered. The marines started shaking as they slowly pulled out their own guns and started to point them at themselves.

Both Luffy and Zoro shook their heads "What a bunch of pathetic losers" Zoro muttered under his breath.

Morgan started his charge toward Luffy and swung his axe. "Did you not hear what my power was" Luffy asked as he stopped the axe with his hand. With a small grin from Luffy, Morgan's axe turned into hook. "Haha, now you're a pirate" Luffy laughed and then turned around to deal with the other marines who were stumbling in their attack because of the display.

Luffy cocked his fist back "Metal-Metal..." he paused seeing that all the soldiers had dropped their weapons and ducked. "SPARKLES" Luffy yelled and started laughing, there wasn't much point in hurting them if they were that lame. Zoro saw Morgan starting to rush Luffy with his hook. Stepping in front of Morgan, Zoro charged him and took him down in a single sweep of his swords.

All the marines, that were still conscious were gaping at Luffy and Zoro "Anyone else wanna keep fighting" Zoro asked with one sword leaned on his shoulder and the other two back in their sheath.

The marines started yelling and screaming in joy. "Thats a relief, they were all just afraid of Lieutenant Morgan" Coby said relieved that all of the marines weren't corrupt.

"Well I'm hungry now" Luffy said falling on his back.

"Hey, you're hungry? I haven't eaten in like a month" Zoro replied annoyed.

"Yeah right, it hasn't been a month yet, plus you had that food the girl gave you today" Luffy responded sticking his tongue out at Zoro afterwards.

Zoro sighed "Well I did say that I was going to be part of your crew so whatever I guess I am the one that chose this" Zoro laughed.

Everyone in the town was treating Luffy and Zoro to food, drink, and pretty much whatever else they wanted. "So you said you were in the middle of gathering your crew" Zoro mentioned.

"Well you're the first person that I found, but we'll get more like a musician and a cook" Luffy said with a big grin on his face.

Zoro sighed "At least tell me that you have a boat" he asked hoping for a yes.

"Yeah its right there" Lufft responded by pointing out the window. Zoro looked out the window and groaned.

Coby grinned "I think Luffy was born without that part of the brain that allows people to plan ahead" he answered.

"Great of all the people I choose to be my captain I pick him, but I guess there's nothing I can do about it now" Zoro sighed.

As Luffy finally stopped eating the door to the restaurant opened. "You are pirates correct" the marine captain asked.

"Yup" Luffy replied shortly.

"As marines we have to ask you to leave this island" the captain said. Once the words left his mouth everyone started yelling and complaining except Luffy, Zoro, and Coby. "But out of respect for what you've done we won't report you to headquarters" the captain offered.

"Yup, we need to be leaving anyways" Luffy said as he and Zoro got up and started heading to the door.

"Hey kid are you with them" the captain asked Coby. Coby froze he didn't know what to say, if the marines knew that he was with pirates then his chances of being a marine dropped drastically.

"Oh him, yeah he's so pathetic" Luffy said "he was one a ship with this big fat" he continued. Coby started to shake No Luffy, you can't do this he screamed in his mind.

"Yeah and all he did was clean the..." Luffy said before he was stopped. Everyone in the restaurant was surprised when Coby punched Luffy in the face. "That was a big mistake" Luffy said right before he started pummeling Coby into the ground.

"Ok, ok thats enough" Zoro said pulling Luffy away. Luffy tilted his hat down and left with Zoro.

"Well obviously you guys aren't friends so" the captain started. Coby's eyes started to tear up. Even now he still needed Luffy's help.

"Please sir let me join the marines" Coby begged.

"Captain he might be a pirate spy, normally I wouldn't be worried about this but it has happened in the past" one of the marines said.

The captain looked at Coby "Fine, you can join" he said with a small smile. "You know you've got a good friend there" the captain added, glancing down at Coby.

"Yeah" Coby replied as he sniffled.

Luffy and Zoro had set sail. Look back they saw everyone waving goodbye to them, and the marines saluting them. "Huh what an odd thing for marines to do, saluting pirates" Zoro commented. "They also probably saw through your act, it wasn't all that good" Zoro added.

Luffy laughed "Coby can figure it out from here on out, I have faith in him".
