1 Years before Shank's arrival at Fussa Village.

?: Gramps when will we get there?

?: Luffy shut up and get back to training, besides where making a stop before we head to Goa and I expect you to have Iron body down by the time we reach are next stop if you can't do something that easy how can you be a great marine when you grow up!

Luffy: But Gramps I don't want to be a marine I want to be like Roger you said he was the strongest person you ever fought and help people while he conquered the sea of adventure.

Garp: Damn it Luffy you can't be like Roger he my have been a good guy but he was still a pirate not some hero you should work hard to be a marine like me.

Luffy:(rises an eyebrow) Ether let me be like Roger or tell me who my mom is!

Garp:(hits luffy with his fist of love) Damn it Luffy get back to training.

Luffy: Humph. slave driver

Garp:(sighs and watches Luffy continue training) { Sorry Luffy that's the one thing I can't tell you if you knew I'm afraid you would join your dad.}

Three days have passed with Garp training Luffy harder each day to keep him distracted.

Crow nest marine: Land ho sir!

Garp walks up to the bow of the ship and looks at the island with Luffy by his side.

Luffy: What are we doing here gramps?

Garp: Well I came to see an old friend after that I have to go see someone very important so you will have to stay with my friend for a week or two then we'll be going to Goa and that is were I will be training you for about a year before I have to head back to marine HQ so you will be living in Goa after that I will try to get as much time off as I can so I can train you more so your ready for your marine career.

Small time skip.

knock, knock, knock

?:(answers door with eyes closed) Ya what the hell do you want!

Garp: Is that any way to talk to an old friend Bell.

Bell-amere: Of course when your the one I'm talking to. What the hell are you doing here any way?

Luffy: Hahahahaha, take that gramps, your funny lady I like you.

Bell-amere: Well high there whats your name little man my name is Bell-amere but you can call me aunt Bella.

Luffy:(With a giant grin) I'm Luffy nice to meet'cha.

Bella: Well it's nice meeting you to I have two daughter out back in the orange grove I'm sure they would like to play with you so why don't you go out back and play while I talk to your grandpa.

Luffy:(running to the back yard) Ok see you gramps I'm going to go play.

Garp waits for Luffy to be out of hearing range before turning back to Bell-amere.

Garp: I need you to look after Luffy fore a few weeks.

Bella: What the hell is so important you have to leave him here. Why can't yo-

Garp:(interrupting with a serious tone) I'm going to see his dad.

Bella:(sigh) You know your never going to stop him after what happened, you know that right.

Garp: I know but I have to try. If not for me hopefully for Luffy.

Bella: Fine but I think he's doing it more for Luffy then himself at this point.

Garp: You my be right and if that's the case I'll have to train Luffy even harder after that to keep him safe from the higher up. Well I better head out the faster I get there the faster I get back. See you in a couple weeks.

At the same time in the grove Luffy runs into two girls around his age. Looking at a strange fruit.

Luffy: Hi, I'm Luffy what are you looking at.

orangette: Oh hi, I think it's an orange but it looks funny, and I'm Nami this is my sister Nojiko.

Nojiko: Hi what are you doing back hear.

Luffy: Aunt Bella said i should come out to play. That definitely looks like a weird orange you think it's ok to eat.

Nami: I'm not eating it, it could me rotten.

Luffy:(picks up the fruit) Only one way to find out.

Luffy eats the strange orange pile and all after first biting though it he freezes and covers his mouth with both hands to stop from throwing up and swallows the fruit whole.

Luffy:cough..Definitely rotten...cough...that was the worst tasting...cough...thing ever...cough, cough.

Nami, Nojiko: Hahahahahahaha

Nojiko: That's what you get for eating something that looks rotten. Lets head inside it's almost time for lunch.

Nami, Luffy: Ok

As the three youngster head back to the house no one notices Luffy's eye's change to red with slit pupils and back.

Time skip

Bell-amere looks out into the back yard watching Luff, Nami, and Nojiko play. It's been a month an a half since Garp left Luffy to talk to his son and in that time Luffy has grow vary close to Nami and Nojiko he even told them his dream to be like Roger over dinner one night. When Bell-amere asked why his dream was be a pirate he said only people that are like Roger can be called a true pirate all others are just lairs and fakes, that a real pirate sails the sea's free in search of adventure.

Bella:(smiles) Now that's a way to look at it, to bad most now a days are fakes as you put it. I wish there was a pirate out there like Roger now he was a great man. Did you know he became king of the pirates Luffy, he wasn't even afraid of death he smiled when they executed him.

Luffy:(stars in his eye's) Soooo cool, you know I changed my dream I'm not going to be a pirate.

Bella:(raises an eyebrow) Really...

Luffy:(Giant grin) Ya, I'm going to be King of the pirates just like Roger and show the world what a true pirate is, and Nami & Nojiko will be to of my pirate queens.

This caused both girls to blush hard and Bell-amere to smile at her daughters reaction.

Bella:{well looks like they like that idea} As long as you always make them happy I'm ok with them becoming your pirate queens.

knock, knock, knock, knock

Luffy: I got it. (opens door) Hello ho... GRANDPA (jumps into Garp's arms) your back.

Garp: It's good to see you to Luffy did you have a good time.

Luffy: Yep hay gramps guess what I know what I want to be when I get older.

Garp: So you finale wish be a mar-

Luffy: (interrupts with a grin) I'm going to be the pirate king and Nami & Nojiko will be two of my queens.

This causes Garp jaw to drop in shock and Bell-amere to crack up laughing at Garp's reaction. After recovers from his shock Garp grabs Luffy's arm and starts dragging him to the port with Bell-amere and her daughters close behind.

Garp: The hell you are I'll just have to train you harder then planed to get it through to you that being a marine is better. By the time I'm done with you you'll be so strong that you won't want to be a pirate.

Luffy: (looking back at Nami & Nojiko smiling) You hear that I'm definitely going to be super strong the next time we meet again. Next time we meet will sail the sea of adventure as the soon to be future king and queens of the seas.

As Luffy finishes saying that Garp throws him onto the ship and turns to Bell-amere.

Garp: (bows) Thanks for looking after Luffy.

Bella:(smiling) Any time he's going to be my future son-in law after all. (pointing her thumb at her blushing daughters)

Garp smile and wave good-bye as he jumps on the ship and orders them to set sail to Goa. After arriving at Fussa village Garp does exactly as he plans in training Luffy. Normally he would take it slower but after his talk with his son he knows that once the world know of Luffy's heritage the World Gov. will hunt him down even if he is innocent. After the year of training Luffy was able to use two of the six powers even if they are far from being mastered it was a good start.

One week after Garp leaves for marine HQ Red-Hair Shanks and his crew arrive and start using Fussa as a base of operation.

Luffy: Hay Shanks you've been a pirate for a while right?

Shanks: Ya Luffy what's up.

Luffy: Have you ever met a man named Roger?

After that question the whole red hair pirate crew quite down and look at Luffy with surprise that he knows the name of the pirate king.

Shanks:(smiling) As a matter of fact I have.

Luffy: Really can you tell me about he gramps won't talk about him any more.

Shanks: Sure but way do you want to know about him so much?

Luffy: (giant grin) Because he's my dream I'm going to be the pirate king and sail the sea of adventure.

At that statement Shanks and his crew fell out of there sets for different reasons his crew for the fact that Luffy said it to Shanks like it was fact and Shanks because the was Luffy said it reminded him of Gol D. Roger in fact Shanks even saw the ghostly silhouette of Roger shrouding Luffy like he was Roger reincarnated.

Shanks: Now that is one big dream Luffy you sure you can do it.

Luffy: Of course I already have two future queens waiting to sail with me.

Before Shanks can say another thing the door is kicked in.

Bandit: Hay give us some booze were celebrating ower boss getting an 8,000,000 bounty.

Makino: Sorry but we are out of sake.

Bandit: Then what are they drinking water!?

Makino: It's sake but it's the last tell our next shipment.

Shanks: Sorry about that buddy hear take the last bottle as an apology for drinking the place dry.

As Shanks was handing the bottle over the leader of the bandit cut the bottle with his sword spilling it all over Shanks and the bar.

Shanks: now that's just a wast of good sake. Hear Makino let me help you clean this up.

As Shanks leaned over to bar to start cleaning the bandit leader slams Shanks into the bar and then pushes him over.

Higuma: Like I take cheap sake from some filthy pirate I'm Higuma the bandit I've killed over 10 men and have a bounty of 8,000,000 your lucky I don't kill you for your insolence come on boys lets go.

After the bandit have left Shanks and his crew start laughing.

Yassop: They you good look at you your cover from head to toe in sake.

Shanks: Hahahaha-

Luffy: What the hell was that Shanks why did you just stand there and take it hell even I'm stronger then them.

Shanks: Oh really care to prove it Luffy I'll even give you a free shot.

Luffy: Ok I'll show you lets go out side.

After that Luffy hops off his stool and walks out side to wait for Shanks.

Shanks: Come on boys lets see what the anchor can do.

Once there all out side they see Luffy stretching his legs.

Shanks: When ever your ready Luffy.

When Shanks said that Luffy just smirked that gave Shanks an uneasy feeling which surprised him because Luffy was only a kid of about seven at most. This turn to shock for Shanks and his crew when Luffy jumped up a little higher then he stood and kick yelling "Tempest Kick" sending a compressed air blade at Shanks lucky he could see it would miss, but it still cut a 3 ft' deep meter long gouge in the ground next to Shanks shocking all to see.

Luffy: Damn I missed looks like I need more practice before I can use that in a fight.

Shanks: LUFFY HOW THE HELL CAN YOU DO THAT?!

Luffy:(smiling) Gramps use the one to teach me that.

Shanks: WHO THE HELL IS YOUR GRAMPS?

Luffy: His name is Garp way.

Red-hair pirates:...WAIIIIIIIIIIIIT YOUR GRAMPS IS MARINE HERO GARP?!

Luffy: Yep he said I have two power down and four to learn and that I still need to master them though.

Shanks: Well I think you earned desert on me you definitely prove your tougher then that bandit.

Luffy: Yahoo free food.

The pirate and Luffy all re-entered the bar after that and continued to party. Shanks sat down next to Luffy and Lucky put a chest between Luffy and Shanks. Shanks sighed and looked at the roof just trying to rap his mind around the fact that a kid of seven just used one of the six power over the top marines hell you needed to have a strong will just to even do them. Shanks had his thoughts stopped by the sound of eating next to him. Turning to Luffy.

Shanks: Hay what are you eating?

Luffy:(swallowing) Just the desert you promised but did it have to be so gross.

Shanks: But I didn't (looks at the bar and sees the chest that had the unknown devil fruit in it) Shit (flips Luffy upside down shaking him) Spit the fruit out quick Luffy before it's to la-

Shanks didn't even get to finish his sentence because were he was holding Luffy turned to water causing Luffy to fall to the ground missing his legs.

Luffy: (scared) SHANKS WERE ARE MY LEG WERE DID THEY GO HELP ME SHANKS.

Shanks: LUFFY calm down and focus just relax and it will be ok.

Luffy:(Inhale, Exhale, Inhale, Exhale, Inhale, Exhale) Hay there back cool. Shanks what was that?

Shanks: Well Luffy that terrible tasting fruit with the swirling pattern was the water water fruit, which is a devil fruit.

Luffy: Um Shanks are all devil fruits swirl patterned and shity tasting.

Shanks:(narrowing his eyes) Ya way

Luffy: Then that's the second one I have eaten.

Shanks:(eyes slowly widening in realization)...WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
