Hello my faithful readers

I know you guys like my other story Power Unleashed but I had this story in my head for a long time and I need to get it out there or my head will explode from being too full of awesome ideas.

There will be a few OCs in this story but they will not be focused on too much but they will all play a role.

A lot of thought went into this so flames are unwelcome, but any ideas with how the story should go will be welcome.

I do not own One Piece but I do own my own thoughts and ideas.

So here it is!

Chapter 1 The Father Appears

12th year of the Great Pirate Era

Luffy and Ace had tears running down their faces as they watched the remains of Sabo's ship sink. They saw the world noble on the docks with a large man with a collar carrying him.

"Why?" Luffy asked.

"Because the government allows the Celestial Dragons to do anything they want, even enslaving people," said their foster mother Dadan.

Luffy and his brother watched the Celestial Dragon with pure hatred until they saw a small boy who also had a collar and handcuffs attached run into the woods.

The Celestial Dragon began shouting something the boys couldn't hear and a few men chased after the boy.

"No, not again," shouted Luffy, "I won't let them kill him too!"

"Luffy!" shouted Ace and Dadan as the little boy bolted down through the forest.

Luffy ran and ran through the trees, looking for the escaped slave. "Get back here you little brat," he heard. Luffy ran in the direction of the voice and saw the boy running for his life.

Luffy caught the boys hand and pulled him in another direction, "this way, we'll lose them at the river!" The boy nodded and they ran to until they came to the river bank. "We can't swim it, we need to go above," Luffy said as he shot his arm into the tree making the boy's eyes widen.

Gum Gum Rocket!

They were thrown across the river but Luffy lost his balance and they crashed into the ground.

"There they are," they turned around to see the three men, each dressed in fancy clothes and out of breath. "We have you now brat." As the men waded into the river Luffy smirked. Suddenly several shapes appeared underwater and moved towards the three Celestial Dragon's guards. One of them suddenly screamed as he was pulled under. The other two panicked and began to rush back to the bank but as they went another man was dragged down as well. Once the last man touched the shore he thought he was safe but suddenly felt a creature's jaw clamp down on his right leg. He screamed and looked back to see a huge crocodile, still partially in the water. The croc began to drag it's prey back into the water and the man began to claw at the dirt, trying desperately to avoid being dragged to his death. "Please help me!" he screamed at the two boys, "show some mercy!"

"Did your boss show my brother mercy? Were you going to show this guy mercy? Someone like you doesn't deserve mercy," Luffy said with contempt. The man gave one last scream as he was dragged into his final resting place.

"Luffy!"

The two boys turned around and saw Ace and Dadan running towards them.

Suddenly there was a ticking sound. The boy's eyes widened, "get away! My collar is about to blow get away."

"No, I won't let anyone else die!" Luffy yelled as he fished a lockpick out of his pocket and began to pick the collars lock.

"Please run I don't want you to die too!" the boy shouted only to see the woman and the other boy begin working on his hand cuffs.

The cuffs and collar came off and Dadan threw them into the river where they exploded, drenching the four.

"Why?" asked the boy, his face full of tears.

"They took our brother, they're not taking anyone else," said Ace as Luffy nodded.

Dadan gained a solemn look, "they already took one of my boys, I'm not gonna let them take another kid from this world. And if any of you brats tell a soul that I said it I'll skin you alive!"

The now former slave burst into tears, "I'm free! I'm finally free!" he shouted with joy. They finally got a good look at the boy now that the threat of death was gone. He was around Luffy's age but slightly taller and with a narrow face. His eyes were a deep shade of blue and he had short black hair.

"Looks like you were right to force us to learn lockpicking Dadan," said Luffy.

"So do ya have a name?" asked Ace.

The boy gave a bright smile, "Raiga, Mjolnir Raiga."

"Well are you hungry?" asked Luffy as he stretched his arm into a tree and pulled out an apple.

"You have devil fruit powers too?!" yelled Raiga.

"Yeah I ate the Gum Gum Fruit, now I'm a rubber man."

"You mean you have them?" asked Dadan fearfully not another monster.

"Yeah but one of the cuffs had a small amount of seaprism stone on it so I could never transform."

"Awesome! What type of power do you have?" Luffy asked energetically.

"It's called the Behir Behir Fruit"the boy said as his form began to shift. His hair grew into two black horns and scales formed over his skin. His neck grew longer and a tail sprouted. His four limbs became eight and his eyes became reptilian. Finally his face morphed into something akin to a dragon and he let out a roar.

"SO COOL," screamed an ecstatic Luffy with stars in his eyes.

"Thats a mythical zoan type devil fruit!" Dadan said in shock.

"Is there anything you can do in that form?" asked Ace.

All eight of Raiga's legs folded into his body and he slithered around the three. He then opened his mouth and fired a bolt of lightning from it into the river.

"AWESOME!" yelled the two boys with their eyes shining like the sun.

"Also electricity and poison can't hurt me and my scales are harder than steel," said Raiga excitedly.

"COOL," yelled the other two boys.

"Indeed it is," said a gruff voice.

"Who's there?" Dadan asked as she turned around. Only to see standing only a few meters away was the most wanted man in the world. "D-D-Dragon," she said fearfully.

Dragon smirked at Luffy, "you certainly take after your mother, but then again you look like your uncle so that was bound to happen."

This shocked the others.

"You knew my mother?" screamed Luffy.

"Well I was married to her," replied Dragon.

Luffy was shocked, "that means-"

Dragon nodded, "my name is Monkey D. Dragon, your father," at this Dadan up and fainted, Ace's jaw was on the ground, and Raiga was looking with wonder. But Luffy suddenly had tears in his eyes and lept forward, his arms draping around Dragon's neck in a tight hug.

"Daddy!" yelled the tiny boy.

Dragon wrapped his arms around his little son, "yes Luffy, I'm here."

A few hours and a Luffy crying session later at Dadan's house

Luffy looked at his father with a questioning gaze. "You said I'm like mom, but what happened to her?" asked the little boy.

Dragon sighed, "Luffy before I tell you about your mother there are many things you must understand."

"Like what?" asked the curious boy.

"Raiga was it? Please come over here," said Dragon.

Raiga hesitantly walked over to the revolutionary. Dragon lifted the boy's shirt to reveal a brand in the shape of a dragon's claw on his back.

"This is the brand of the Celestial Dragons," said the Dragon with a solemn face, "they brand each of their slaves with this to show that they are lower than dirt. They also have the authority to do whatever they want without any consequences. Eventually many of those that serve them became tyrannical as well. The amount of tyranny and corruption in the World Government is so high that it is beyond saving. But your grandfather believes that the corruption can be rooted out. I admit, I once believed that it could be done, but that all changed with your mother."

"What happened?" asked Ace.

Dragon's face turned serious, "It all 'tarted twenty years ago, before your father was executed Ace. I was chasing a notorious pirate woman. But when we met and fought, and to this day I don't know how it happened, we just clicked. The next thing we knew we were secret'y meeting time after time. A marine admiral and a pirate, who would have thought? The night of the second anniversary of Roger's death was the night you were conceived. Then it happened," said Dragon, his eyes gaining an unmistakable amount anger. "I don't know how, but the government found out your mother's location and went to kill her before I could do anything. She managed to escape and ran to your grandfather, but she was wounded by the marines. That strain forced you to be born two weeks early and your mother's wounds made her too weak to survive labor. Your grandfather knew that they wouldn't let you live for being the son of a pirate, so he said that your mother died of an illness and buried her before the marines arrived, saying it was out of respect for a worthy adversary. After I found out what happened, I couldn't take it anymore. I realized that the government was beyond saving from itself and I took what soldiers would follow me and created the Revolutionary Army, an army dedicated to overthrowing the World Government and bringing freedom to the world."

Luffy had tears in his eyes at this point "who was my mother?" he asked with a sob.

Dragon gained a smile, something that shocked Dadan and Ace. "She was my light, my love, and my wife," said the leader of the Revolutionary Army as his smile turned sad, "and her name was, Gol D. Diana."

Dadan fainted for the second time that day, Raiga suddenly gain a blank look like his mind was blown(which probably wasn't far from the truth). But Luffy and Ace had popped out eyes and jaws on the ground.

"..."

"..."

"WHAT!"

"Your mother was Gold Roger's sister."

Ace was ecstatic, "but that means-"

"That you have a family, that you are not as alone as you thought you were, and that you and Luffy are actually cousins," Dragon said with an amused grin at their expressions.

"COOL!" screamed Luffy with stars in his eyes. But then he stopped, "but does that mean that I can't call Ace my brother anymore?"

"Not at all, many men who are cousins call each other brother because they are part of the same clan," said Dragon.

"So why did you come here?" asked Ace curious about the reason for Dragon coming to Goa Kingdom.

"I came because I knew a Celestial Dragon was going to visit Goa and I knew that the nobles would do something to the commoners to prepare for the Celestial Dragon's arrival. I saved as many people as I could and offered them a place in the Revolutionary Army which they accepted." Dragon then smirked, "I then saw Raiga run off and went to help him, but instead I see my son helping him instead."

Luffy grinned and laughed, "shishishishi."

"Where are the people?" asked a now recovered Raiga.

"They're waiting for me at another island, soon I'll lead them to a nation controlled by the Revolutionary Army."

"You're going already?" asked a sad Luffy as Dadan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, I'll come back now and then. But don't tell your grandpa, he'll have a panic attack if he finds out."

"Okay dad, but when you do come back can you train me? You must be real strong if you were an admiral and all," said Luffy.

"What will you use that strength for?" asked Dragon.

"I'm gonna be King of the Pirates, like uncle Roger!" yelled an excited Luffy.

Dragon smiled, "that's a good dream to have my son, and it will take you far."

The Shore

Dragon stood by a small boat ready to leave while his son hugged his leg.

"Bye dad, please come visit soon," said a teary eyed Luffy.

"I'll try," said dragon as he ruffled his son's hair. He then looked at Dadan, "thank you for caring for my son and nephew."

"Don't worry about it, and I won't tell a soul about this, you just show those government bastards that their not as strong as they say they are."

Dragon pushed off and began to sail. He looked back and smiled, there was great change coming, and his son would be at it's center.

Bam finally done!

Dragon-37

If you guys are wondering about what a behir is google it.

Also Luffy will be much smarter in this story so look out World Government.

The identity of Luffy's mother fits because there is no way that Luffy isn't related to Roger what with how they look so similar. Also the reason for Dragon being at the execution of his brother-in-law is because his wife wanted to be there for her brother.

About Sabo, Dragon found him after he left Luffy and will let Sabo decide when Luffy finds out about him surviving.

Next chapter will be up as soon as I can write it.

Blackstrike 94 out!
