Hello guys, this is my first attempt on writing and I have started it with my favorite anime-couple. I hope you enjoy reading it and please leave useful comments. One Piece does not belong to me. It belongs to Eiichiro Oda Prologue
It was the month of May. Above the jungles surrounding the Foosha Village, the thunders rolled. Dark clouds engulfed every spec of light coming from above. It seemed as if it is the end of the world. A man in a long green cloak steadily walked towards a small fire build under the canopy. As he got near, he could see two figures sitting near the campfire, one of whom seemed like an 8-year old, black-haired boy with a straw hat, sleeping with a small smile, unaware of the storm looming above. And the second figure seemed to have sensed his coming presence. "So you have come!" said a 55 year old, marine hero Monkey D. Garp, standing up, looking towards the intruder. "Yes Father! I see you haven't changed much. Except for your hair." stated Monkey D. Dragon, the infamous Revolutionary Army leader, the most wanted criminal in the world and the son of the Marine hero. "I wasn't expecting you today, or is it the time?" asked Garp. Even if they were enemies on a battlefield, Garp's parental emotions would overrule his duty. Even if he was able to, he won't capture his own son. "Yes. It is time. I have come to fulfill my promise. I have come to take Luffy with Me.", reminded Dragon.
- "Father, here. Take your grandson Luffy with you." said Dragon. He handed over a baby to Garp. Garp looked at his grandson with a huge smile on his face and said, "I will raise him in to a strong Marine like me." "It might not happen. I will come back on his 8th birthday and take him. And I will let him chase his dreams." said Dragon with the same stern look. - Suddenly, a bolt of lightning emerged from his fingers and up into the sky. The sky rumbled and soon the clouds scattered showing an early evening sky. Dragon, amazed by the sudden show, kept his stern look on the face. He turned towards his father and asked, "How did this happen?" "It happened when the bloody 'Red-Haired Shanks' came to the Foosha Village.", said Garp angrily. - Flashback The pub of the village was filled with Red Haired Pirates. Makino, the pub's manager, was happily serving the jolly pirates. On the table sat a red man who wore a halfway-buttoned white shirt with a sword on the right side and a straw hat, Red Haired Shanks. On his side sat a young 7 year old boy who only dreamt of One Piece, meat and becoming the new Pirate King. He sat there muffling his tears and enduring the pain of the cut he gave himself under his left eye to prove his strength to the great pirate idol. "Here, drink the orange juice." said Shanks as he passed a glass towards the boy. Luffy happily accepts the glass and as he gulped the juice, Shanks bursts laughing. "You are still a kid! I have not heard of a pirate drinking juice." laughed Shanks. "Eh! That's a dirty trick Shanks!" angrily said Luffy. Suddenly, the door broke and a group of mountain bandits came bursting in. Their leader, came to Makino and asked for ten barrels of sake. "I am sorry we are out of sake! All the sake has been served." said Makino. Shanks stood up. "I apologize for taking all the sake. I have a spare bottle. You can take it if you want. "Firmly said Shanks as he extended his sake bottle to the bandit leader. He took the bottle and smashed it into Shanks' head. Shanks fell down and started collecting the broken glass pieces. "Great floor is wet and glass is everywhere." mumbled Shanks. As Makino came running to help Shanks, the bandit unsheathed his sword and broke the table saying, "You like to clean. Now keep cleaning the mess." With that he turned and left the pub with his men. As he left, to Luffy's amazement, the red haired pirates' looks at Shanks and everybody including him starts laughing. "He got you captain." laughed Yassop. Unable to see his idol in this state, Luffy got angry and yelled, "What's so funny and why didn't you guys fight back?" The bar got silent. "Luffy, he just broke a bottle and spilled some sake. Not everything is to be resolved by fighting." stated Shanks looking in Luffy's eyes. "Humph!" said Luffy and turned his back. On the corner of the table he saw a small strange chest. In curiosity and frustration, Luffy opened the box and found a round light blue fruit with bolt-shape design on it. Luffy starts eating it only to find it was bitter but still he kept going. "What are you doing Luffy? Eating out of frustration?" asked Shanks as he looked towards Luffy. "Shut up and let me eat Shanks! "Said Luffy Shanks noticed the chest and suddenly realized that the contents were gone. "Luffy! What are you eating?" asked Shanks as he started to piss off. Luffy looked towards Shanks and showed him a half-eaten fruit in his hands. "Don't tell me you ate what was there in the chest!" said Shanks as he grabbed Luffy from his legs and starts yanking him. "Yes, I ate from the chest! What about it?" asked Luffy as he was getting angry? Immediately, he felt some vibration going through his legs and suddenly with a small bang on his legs, Shanks left him and he came face-first on the floor. "WHAT THE HELL SHANKS? WHY DID YOU BANG ME ON THE FLOOR?" yelled Luffy and he turned his head to look at Shanks only to see an odd sight. Shanks hair were standing straight up with a stunned look on his face. Luffy tilted his head on the side and looked confuse. "What you ate was Goro-Goro No Mi (Rumble-Rumble), a Logia type devil fruit. These fruits gives a person inhuman power but make them unable to swim in water. You became a thunder man.", hazily said Shanks as he slowly came to his senses. "NANI!" yelled Luffy. - Dragon looked at his son with amusement and laughed. His son is showing characteristics common in the D's. This woke Luffy up as he sat rubbing his eyes and looked at a new appearance. "Who are you?" Luffy asked sleepily. "Dad, Otou-san", said Dragon. "Dad? Who's Dad" asked Luffy as he stood up. "Your Dad of course." said Garp. "And you are coming with me."Said Dragon. "NANI" yelled Luffy.
Flashback
"But let me tell you. Some things happened last year with Luffy." stated Garp as they both looked over to Luffy, who shifted in his sleep and yawned raising his hands.
