This story is a time travel fic. It is inspired by Repiece's "The Revolutionist" Story. It is a LuffyxHarem story, but the main pairing that would be a big focus point would be LuffyxNami. Other characters will have pairings so don't worry. Since this story's release, the manga chapter would be 835, so anything after this chapter will be included, as long as it makes sense with this story. Luffy's appearance would be that of his New World self. He will have all his moves and others. I was thinking about a second devil fruit for him to have and decided against it. If it you guys want me to, I can give him a second devil fruit later on the story.

There will be OC'S at some point in the story, including a villain that will play a major role in this story as a consequence for Luffy going back in time. Luffy will be gathering a large fleet so that is in this story. I may at times, put a One Piece soundtrack title at certain moments for you to listen to, but don't expect it a lot. Due to the complexity of time travel, there will be moments when events change, but not a lot as they will continue going on the same path they originally went. Some characters may appear earlier than they are supposed to, but don't expect it to happen early in this story. I will try to keep it short without retelling the entire One Piece story, so please bare with me on that front if I tend to do so.

I'm sure there are other things I want to say, but I can't remember them at the time I have written this.

Girls in the harem:
Nami
Robin
Hancock
Nojiko
Vivi
Shiraishi
Rebecca

Possibly more, but these are the ones that I can list at the moment.

Thank you for clicking on this story and reading it. I hope you enjoy it!

Luffy's Revolutionary Return to Zero

Chapter 1: Return to Zero

"Luffy!"

"Luffy!"

"Go Luffy!"

"No! I can't leave without you!"

"It's okay, Luffy-kun...this is what we decided."

"No! I refuse! I ORDER YOU TO STOP THIS!"

"Sorry...Luffy...this is one order we can't follow."

"NO!"

"Go Luffy!"

"NO! NO! NO!"

"It's okay Luffy...everything is going to be alright...we will always be with you...in here..."

"Stop...please stop..."

"Go...it's our turn to protect you."

"STOP IT!"

Luffy sat up abruptly. He panted as he recalled the nightmare. The voices of his crew still rang in his ear, telling him to go forward, to leave them behind. He was sweating all over his body, the sheets he laid on were soaking wet, as well as the bandages wrapped around his body. Wait, bandages?

Luffy settled his breathing down to a normal pace and then looked down at his body and saw the bandages wrapped around his torso. "W-What...?" He touched the wet bandages and flinched at the slight pain from the wounds they were covering. He tried to remember what happened, but couldn't remember anything. He looked up and noticed something else. He was in a mysterious room he had never been before. He looked around the dark room and aside from the bed he was on, there was a small table counter to his right, three lanterns hanging on the wall, illuminating the room barely, a shelf with several books on it on the far wall to his right, a round table in front of it, and a door on the opposite side of the room. "W-Where am I...?" He asked and removed the sheet covering his body and moved his leg over the side of the bed and let his feet touched the stone floor.

He flinched slightly when his feet touched the cold stone, but disregarded it and stood up. "I don't know where I am...but I need to find the others..." The dream crept up back in his mind and violently shook his head. "That was just a dream...I need to find them..." He took a step and slightly wobbled as he felt a little light headed. He slightly hit his head to get his blood flow working again and then took another step. He still wobbled a bit, but managed to get control over his body and walked toward the door.

He turned the knob and opened the door and when he opened it, he met face to face with someone he never met before. "Huh? Who are you?" He asked as he looked over the girl. She had short, shoulder length honey brown colored hair with a newsboy cap on her head. She was a tall, skinny, but well-endowed girl and wore a maroon shirt with a frilly collar and a black short skirt. Below her skirt she wore black stockings and brown boots. Luffy tilted his head slightly at her as she gave him a slight nervous smile, while holding a bucket of water and a rag.

"G-Good morning..." The young woman said.

"Ah, it's morning? I see...ah wait, who are you?" He asked.

"Oh, sorry about that, my name is Koala." She introduced herself with a slight nod of her head.

"Koala...?" He repeated, finding the name somewhat familiar, but he couldn't place it from where. However, he shook his head and grabbed her shoulders, clenching his hands firmly on them and then asked, "Koala, do you know where I am? Do you know where my friends are? My crew?"

Koala jumped a bit at his touch, but when he asked about his friends, she felt a bit more nervous and looked away, not sure how to talk to him about that subject. "Luffy-kun, listen...I...your crew..." Koala started, but the sound of footsteps stopped her and both of them turned their heads at the newcomer.

"You're finally awake...Luffy..." At the sight of someone very important to him, Luffy ran toward the man with so much excitement that he jumped into him and hugged him as tightly as possible.

"SABO!" Luffy cried out, so ecstatic to see his older brother again.

"Great to see you too, Luffy, but can you let go...you're kinda squeezing me too tightly." Sabo laughed as Koala looked at the two brothers hugging it out with a soft smile.

"Shishishishi!" Luffy laughed and got off of Sabo. "I never thought I would see you Sabo after waking up." Luffy told him.

"Well, I didn't think I would see you either..." Sabo told him, his words fading away at the end.

"Oh yeah!" Luffy exclaimed. "Sabo? Do you know where I am? What about me crew?"

At this, Sabo's smile was gone and a stern look was replaced. The moment he saw Sabo's new facial expression, Luffy's own smile disappeared and a feeling of dread and worry came over him. "Luffy..." He muttered his name softly.

"W-What is it...Sabo? Why are you looking at me like that?" Luffy asked.

Sabo lowered his gaze. He knew he would have to tell Luffy, but he really didn't want to do it at the exact moment he just woke up. He looked up and looked at Koala. "Koala, can you bring both of them here as quickly as possible?" Koala frowned and nodded her head. She walked toward Sabo and handed him the bucket of water and ran down the hallway away from the two brothers.

"Sabo...?"

"Luffy, let's talk inside. There is a lot we need to talk about." Sabo told his brother sternly and Luffy could only nod. Luffy walked back inside his room, Sabo following close behind him. Once inside, Sabo closed the door. Not once did he take his eyes off of Luffy. When Luffy turned around and looked at Sabo, the feeling of dread was made ten times worse inside the small room. It wasn't cramped, but it made Luffy feel like he was claustrophobic and wanted to get out as quickly as possible.

"Sabo...what's going on? Where is my crew?" Sabo didn't look away and instead walked toward the table in front of the book shelf. He grabbed his hat and lowered it down to the table.

"Luffy, I want you to listen to me very carefully. What I am about to tell you, might be..." He stopped and bit his lip.

"Might be what? Sabo...tell me...where is my crew?"

"Luffy..." He slowly turned around and took a few steps toward him. "Luffy, I want you to stay calm and prepare yourself for what I'm about to tell you." Luffy's hand shook in nervousness.

"W-What is it?"

"Luffy..." Sabo took a deep breath before telling Luffy the horrible truth. "Luffy, your crew, your friends, they are no longer here."

"Here? You mean like they are not where I am? Then where are they?" Luffy asked.

"No, not like that." He sighed as he knew he had to tell him straight out. "Luffy, your nakama...they were killed."

Time froze. Everything went silent. The room, which used to be illuminated by the lamps in the room, seemed to dim until there was nothing but total darkness. Luffy didn't want to believe the words that just came out of his brother's mouth. He refused to believe those words. Those words grasped at Luffy's heart as if a dark sinister monster grabbed the organ, squeezed it so tightly until it burst. The one word seemed to have repeated in his mind over and over again. "Y-You're lying..."

"Luffy..." It ached Sabo to the core of his being to tell Luffy the news about his friends. The expression he was making could literally tear his heart in half.

"YOU'RE LYING!" Luffy shouted as Sabo stood firm. "MY CREW CAN'T BE DEAD! WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT!? THIS ISN'T FUNNY! WHERE IS MY CREW!?"

"Luffy...I am not joking around...you're crew...they sacrificed themselves to save you." Sabo replied.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! MY CREW IS NOT DEAD! THEY CAN'T BE DEAD!" Luffy yelled at the top of his lungs. He didn't want to accept it, not even from the mouth of his brother. He knew Sabo wouldn't joke or lie about something like this. However, he refused to accept it. He just couldn't. "MY CREW CAN'T BE DEAD! I TRAINED FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS TO GET STRONGER SO I CAN PROTECT THEM! THERE IS NO WAY THEY ARE DEAD, YOU HEAR ME!"

"I'm really sorry Luffy, but it's the truth..."

"SHUT UP!" He yelled again and grabbed his hair, pulling it as hard as he could. "THEY ARE NOT DEAD! YOU AR ELYING TO ME! I DID NOT TRAIN TWO WHOLE YEARS JUST TO HAVE MY CREW DIE! THEY ARE NOT DEAD! WHAT WAS THE POINT FOR THOSE TWO YEARS IF THEY ARE DEAD!"

Sabo clenched his teeth tightly, but never looked away from Luffy. He couldn't know the pain Luffy was in as he tried to deny their deaths. "Luffy..."

"SHUT UP!" Luffy yelled before running toward the door and rushing through it.

"Wait, Luffy!" Sabo called out. "Damn it..." He grabbed his hat, placed it back on his head and ran after Luffy.

"They are not dead! They can't be dead!" Luffy yelled, his head down and running as fast as his injured body could take him. Some of the wounds on his body began to open up again and blood could be seen soaking through the bandages. 'Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, Jinbei...you guys can't be dead!'

While he continued to run, he was unaware that Koala and two others were walking in the opposite direction, towards Luffy.

"Huh, Luffy-kun?" Koala exclaimed in shock at the young man. Luffy didn't hear her as he continued running.

"Koala! Stop him!" Sabo's voice called out from behind Luffy and Koala immediately went into one of her fishmen karate stances. Luffy was still unaware of Koala and because of that, she was bale to get a good, clean blow to Luffy's face as he was stopped in his tracks. She managed to hold back slightly as Luffy stumbled a bit, but then stopped.

"That hurt!" Luffy yelled and without thinking or looking at who attacked him, he tried charging at Koala, who prepared to defend herself. However, Luffy didn't go anywhere as Sabo came up from behind Luffy and grabbed a hold of Luffy.

"Luffy! Calm down and listen to me!" Sabo yelled as Luffy struggled in his grasp.

"Let me go! I need to find them! I NEED TO FIND MY CREW!" Luffy yelled.

"Damn it Luffy, I already told you!"

"You're lying!"

"Luffy-kun..."

"I'm not!"

"Yes, you are!"

"WHY THE HELL WOULD I LIE TO YOU ABOUT YOUR FRIEND'S DEATHS!? I WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO MY OWN BROTHER!" Luffy continued to struggle, but eventually stopped. Sabo, looked at Luffy and slowly let go of him as Luffy fell to the ground.

"They...are they...really dead?" Luffy whispered.

"Aa...I'm really sorry Luffy." That was the last straw. Luffy didn't want to accept it, but Sabo was right. He would never lie to him about something as serious as this. Suddenly, Luffy's body began to twitch, alerting the people in the hallway. "Oi...Luffy..."

The sound of gurgling and other weird noises suddenly came from Luffy. Then, they all watched as Luffy lifted his head to look up at the ceiling and this caused both Sabo and Koala to panic. They feared this would happen and immediately went over to him. They watched as he began to foam at the mouth and his eyes turning completely white and voided of his black pupils. His entire body twitched as he was entering into another mental coma, similar to the one he experienced after Ace's death. Sabo knelt down in front of Luffy and gripped his shoulders tightly.

"Luffy! Calm down!" He shook his younger brother. "I know it's hard to accept this, but there is a way to save your friends!"

"Luffy-kun!" Koala called out to him as his appearance didn't change.

"Luffy, I know you're still there! Listen, there is still a way to see you crew again!" Sabo repeated. "We found someone that can help you! You still have a chance to save your friends Luffy! It's not over!"

Luffy's twitching suddenly slowed down as it seemed Sabo was getting through to him. "It's working Sabo-kun!" Koala exclaimed.

"Listen Luffy, I don't know what you are going through, but when Ace died I fell in such a shock that I lost consciousness as well. I couldn't do anything to help. But you have a chance to do something about it! You can save your friends! You can see them again! It's not too late!" Sabo yelled.

Luffy's twitching suddenly stop. Sabo and Koala both watched as Luffy's jaw began to move and slowly began to close. Luffy lowered his head as he stayed motionless. "Luffy-kun...?"

Luffy continued to stay motionless. Sabo and Koala looked on in worry at him. Then, to their relief, Luffy's head started moving again. Luffy looked up at Sabo and saw that Luffy had returned to normal, at least as normal as one can get after learning their entire crew just died. Sabo sighed in relief. "Good, you came back to us, Luffy."

"Is it true?" Luffy muttered quietly, but loud enough for Sabo to hear. "I can see my crew again?"

Sabo smiled warmly at him and nodded. "Aa, you can."

"I see...thank goodness..." Luffy cried as tears ran down his face. "I can see them again..."

"Aa, you can." Luffy sobbed as both Sabo and Koala smiled at him. Luffy wiped his tears with his forearm and put on a small smile.

"That's good to hear..." Luffy muttered.

Sabo nodded and then turned to Koala. "I assume you brought the other two here?"

"Mm!" Koala nodded and stood up. She walked over to the two people that stood by and watched what was happening and presented them to Luffy. "Luffy-kun, there are two people who have been wanting to meet you for a while." Luffy lifted his head and looked over at the two people, both wearing cloaks. Their faces were covered by their hoods, but one was taller and larger than the other.

"Who are they?" Luffy asked as Sabo helped him up to his feet.

"This is..." Koala started but was stopped when the taller figure lifted his hand up.

"Allow me." The voice sounded rough, but also had a mysterious tone to it. Luffy could tell that the man's voice held a lot of power and anyone who heard it would stop what they were doing and listen to what he had to say. "It's been a very long time since I saw you, Monkey D. Luffy."

"Huh? Do I know you?" He asked, tilting his head.

"No, at least we've never talked to one another before. I have known you since you were just a toddler." The man spoke.

"A toddler? Who...?" The man chuckled and lifted his hood to reveal himself to the boy. Luffy's eyes widened as he recognized the face of the man with the red scar on his face. "Y-You're...my dad..." Luffy muttered in shock at seeing his father for the first time in person. He remembered that time he saw his father's face in the newspaper and he remembered how shocked he was seeing his father's face for the first time. However, being able to see his face in person was a whole different level. He could see age has slowly been creeping up on him, but he still look intimidating, nothing like Luffy was.

"It's nice to finally talk to you, Luffy. There is a lot we need to discuss, but first things first, there is a more important matter to tell you." Dragon told his son. "As you were told, you're friends were killed." Luffy clenched his teeth. "Do you wish to know who it was that killed them?"

Luffy thought about it and at first, he wanted to know, but he also knew that just knowing who it was would do nothing to bring them back. He didn't want to hear the name of their killer, otherwise he would lose all self control and try to find the bastard. However, on the other hand, he wanted to know, so that he would know who he had to defeat, how much stronger he would have to be to fully protect them. He sighed before answering his father, "Tell me."

"Very well..." Dragon closed his eyes, but caught Sabo getting prepared to tackle Luffy in case he goes berserk. "The man who killed your friends...was...Akainu."

Luffy clenched his teeth as hard as he could, causing some blood to drip from his mouth. His hands were clenched so tightly that they were turning white and the anger inside Luffy was nothing he ever felt before. First, he took Ace and now his crew. "Akainu..." Luffy seethed his name with so much anger that his spit felt like venom.

Dragon observed his son. He had every right to be angry, but he also knew that he could not lose control over his emotions, not when there could be a chance he can help them. When Luffy didn't do anything, but just glare and look angry, Dragon spoke once more. "I understand your anger. However, I need you to calm down and let me speak to you about what you can do to save your friends."

Luffy slowly settled down his anger, but still frowned and had his eyebrows furrowed. "How?"

Dragon was impressed by his son's posture and smirked as he turned so that Luffy can see the last person to be introduced. "This woman has a devil fruit ability, one that we have been searching for, for a very long time."

"Ability? What kind?" Luffy asked.

Dragon open his mouth to speak, but stopped when he felt a small hand on his arm. He looked down and saw the smaller person look up at him and nod her head. Dragon nodded back and stepped out of her way as she approached Luffy.

"It is an honor to meet you, Straw Hat Luffy-kun." The woman spoke.

"Mm, hi. Who are you?" The young woman giggled before she revealed her face to the young pirate.

She had short sky blue hair with a a longer right bang than her left. She word white, pearl earrings on both ears and her eyes matched the color of her hair. Her pale, white skin amplified her beauty. "My name is Crona."

"Aa, I see. Nice to meet ya." Luffy grinned, earning a smile in return from Crona.

"Luffy, Crona has a very rare and special devil fruit ability." Sabo told Luffy.

"Huh? What is it?" He asked.

Crona explained, "My devil fruit ability is known as the Jikan Jikan no Mi. I am a time woman."

"A time woman...?" Luffy repeated with a slight tilt of his head.

"Yes, I have the ability to control time." She explained. "I can move forward in time, back in time, slow down time, speed up time, send one person through time, anything dealing with time, I can do it."

"Really, that sounds so cool." Luffy exclaimed. "So...how does that help me?"

"Is he serious?" Koala asked, sweat dropping.

"Luffy, didn't you hear anything she said? She said she can send you back in time." Sabo told him.

"Huh? Then that means..." Sabo nodded. "That means I can go back to save my friends and kick Akainu's ass." He proclaimed slamming a fist into his hand.

"Hold on, Luffy." Sabo stopped him. "It's not that easy."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"He means to say, if you do go back in time to save your friend's from Akainu, what makes you think you can defeat him?" Dragon spoke.

"Huh? I can kick his ass!" Luffy exclaimed, annoyed at his father for thinking he was weak.

"Are you sure?" Dragon spoke, staring at Luffy.

"Ugh..." Luffy clenched his fists.

"Let's say you do go back in time to that particular point, and you lose to Akainu? Not only will your friends die, but you will also. We wouldn't be able to get to you in time to save you." Dragon explained as Luffy looked down to the floor. "I understand you want to save your friends, but you need to realize this one thing...you are still too weak."

Luffy growled in anger. "I trained for two whole years to get stronger...and yet I'm still too weak."

"It's frustrating...I know...however..." Luffy looked up at his father. "This is a perfect opportunity for you, to get even stronger, stronger than you ever were before. A chance to defeat the enemies you never could. A chance to save your friends...and someone else you hold dear." Luffy gasped softly and Sabo looked at his younger brother.

"I...I can save...Ace...?" Luffy muttered.

"Yes. With her help, you can have that chance again, the chance to save your brother from Akainu." Dragon told him as he saw Luffy clench his fists again.

"I can save Ace...I can save Ace...my friends...beat that bastard Akainu..." Luffy muttered to himself as everyone else looked at him. His hands shook, but came to a stop when Luffy finally made a decision. "Okay, I will do it."

Dragon smirked. "Very good, however, there is one more thing we need to tell you."

"What?"

"We want you to become a member of the Revolutionary Army." Luffy's eyes widened at this, but answered quickly.

"No! I want to be a pirate! The King of the Pirates." Luffy proclaimed proudly.

"Of course, that isn't something I'm against." Dragon told him.

"Then I can't join." Luffy stood his ground on the matter.

"You can still become the Pirate King, a title worthy of my son. However, you need to understand something, you can be Pirate King and be free, however, there will still be one thing blocking your freedom...and that is the World Government." Dragon explained. "When you do become Pirate King, sure you can travel the seas, being free, but the World Government will still come after you and won't stop until you are killed. However, if the World Government is gone, then you can truly be free. You can truly sail the seas and go anywhere your heart desires...however, this can't happen as long as the powers that is the World Government exists. That is why we fight. For the freedom of the people, for the freedom of the world, to do what we want and when we want as long as we don't cross the boundaries that dare not be crossed. We want to create a new world, a world where you can live your life happily and without corruption."

Luffy stood silent as he thought about what his father was saying. Sabo and Koala waited for Luffy's answer. However, something happened they were not expecting. Luffy was turning red and they thought, for a split second that steam was coming out of his head.

"Oi, Luffy don't strain yourself!" Sabo exclaimed.

"Is that even possible...?" Koala sweat dropped.

"Ah, my head hurts from thinking too much." Luffy yelled, scratching his head.

"That shouldn't even be possible!" Koala exclaimed. Sabo could only sigh as Crona giggled.

"Luffy, you don't need to answer us right away. You have time. However, we need to prepare your training." Dragon told him.

"Training?" Luffy questioned.

"Of course, you want to be stronger than before, right? Then you need to train, and I will personally do that." Dragon told him, earning a surprise gasp from both Sabo and Koala.

"You're gonna train him? But you never train anyone." Sabo exclaimed.

"That's because no one ever asked." Dragon told them.

"Well of course no one would with that scary face of yours scaring everyone off." Koala replied to his statement.

"Huh? My face is not that scary." Dragon replied.

"Do you have any idea how many times I got scared when I looked up at you when I was a kid?"

"Really? Huh? I should apologize then."

"Too late for that!"

"Shishishishi!" Luffy laughed causing all of them to look in his direction. "I guess you kind of are my dad. You're kinda funny."

"I don't know what you are talking about." Dragon responded turning around, hiding the small smile on his face. "If we are done here, it seems you need to be tended to. Your wounds have reopened."

"Huh? Oh yeah...look at that, shishishishi!" Luffy laughed as Koala hit him on the side of the head.

"That's not something to laugh about!"

"Ite...that hurt...you're just like Nami!" Luffy whined.

"I don't know who that is, but bless her soul for dealing with you on an everyday basis." Koala responded and then dragged Luffy by the ear, back to his room. "Come on, I got to put new bandages on you." Sabo watched his brother and his best friend head back to his room with a big smile.

"I'm glad Luffy...thank you." Crona smiled at Sabo.

"He still hasn't accepted the offer though..." She told him.

"That's fine, he just needs some time..." He responded.

"I hope so."

"Eh? So you knew Robin?" Luffy exclaimed as he stuffed his face with countless amounts of food per second. After surviving ten hours of training with his dad on the first day, Luffy was finally able to relax and eat as he chatted with Sabo and Koala.

"E-Ee." Koala responded, amazed and slightly disturbed at the amount of food he could consume.

"During the two years you were training, we found her in the East Blue and took her to protect her. In fact, we were looking for her for a long time." Sabo explained as he sat across from Luffy with a mug in his hand. "Sorry, I know talking about your crew must..."

"It's okay..." Luffy stopped eating. "I can save them so it's fine if we talk about them."

"I see..." Sabo smiled and Luffy went back stuffing his mouth.

"Ne, Luffy-kun, if you don't mind, tell me more about your crew." Koala asked.

"I don't mind." Luffy replied back as he removed the meat off a bone in his mouth and tossing the bone away. "Let's see..."

Luffy spent the next hour or so talking about his crew individually. From the time they met, to the amazing moments they had together, the adventures, the heartbreaks, the fun, the sadness to the excitement of adventuring with them to new places. Luffy looked to be incredibly happy talking about his crew, something both Sabo and Koala were glad about. Sabo was very interested to learn more about the friends that his younger brother made. With each passing story and detailing each member of the crew, Sabo was both happy and proud at the friend Luffy had made. It did, however pain him that he couldn't be there in time to help them. However, from the stories Luffy was telling about his crew, he knew their sacrifice was what they wanted. He could only smile proudly and thank his crew for taking care of his younger brother.

"Eeeeehhhhh? So you actually did all those amazing things together?" Koala smiled.

"Shishishishi! Yep, we had so much fun." Luffy laughed.

"Mm. It sure does sound like it. I wish I could have met all your friends back at Dressrosa."

"Huh? You were there?" Luffy asked, not remembering her.

"Yep, I was with Sabo and Hack. We were looking into Doflamingo's secret weapon processing plant. Apparently, he was selling weapons to countries so that they could start wars against each other." Koala told him.

"Mingo did that...that scumbag...glad I kicked his ass and helped you guys." Luffy replied with a grin.

"That's not the only time you helped us though...Luffy." Sabo told him.

"Huh? It's not?"

"Nope. Alabasta, Enies Lobby, Impel Down, Marineford. All those things you did in those places, helped us tremendously in our cause." Sabo explained.

"I understand Enies Lobby and Impel Down, but Alabasta?" Luffy confused at what he did to help them in the desert island.

"Crocodile was using his influence to create a rebellion in the city. Similar to what Doflamingo was doing, but not on the scale that he did it. You managed to bring back a Kingdom that thought they were doomed, but now it's thriving very well thanks to you. For us, we've managed to secretly get Alabasta's King to side with us on certain ideals."

"Huh, Vivi's dad. I wonder how he's doing."

Sabo chuckled. "I hear hes doing well, he's getting older so he tends to get sick from time to time, but still thrives as a loyal and powerful King of his kingdom."

"I see, I'm glad." Luffy grinned.

"But Luffy, don't you see what I'm getting at." Luffy looked at him and tilted his head. "You were inadvertently helping our cause without knowing. We're not asking you to give up your dream because there is no way you're going to let that happen, but you can help us while continuing your journey."

"He's right Luffy-kun. Everything that you did helped us in one way or another." Koala added.

Luffy narrowed his eyes at both of them, as he thought about what they were saying. The reason he did all those things were for his friends. He didn't do it for morally right reasons or to be a hero, he did it because his friends were hurt. His friends needed his help and that's what he did. He never cared if he helped this group or that group. He did it for his friends and that's all he needed. But now, they are asking him to do all that stuff and more to help their cause.

Granted he would still be on his journey to be the King of the Pirates. Granted he could still go on adventures with his friends. Granted he would gain new strength and powers to protect his friends and beat the enemies he couldn't do before. However, he didn't feel right. He couldn't explain it, but he couldn't do it.

Thinking back on all the things he did and accomplished, some of those time was him attacking the World Government, but that again was for his friends or because he was a pirate so he and the World Government would never meet eye to eye. However, the more and more he thought about it, what his father told him kept coming back to him.

'However, if the World Government is gone, then you can truly be free.'

Luffy looked up to the ceiling and just stared.

"Luffy?" Sabo called to him.

"Sabo...sorry...I need a bit more time to think about it." Luffy told him.

"That's fine, take your time." Sabo told him as Luffy gave him a final nod, never looking down.

"Ite...that hurt...that old man doesn't hold back..." Luffy groaned as Koala attended to his wounds with the help from a nurse.

"Well, he is the most dangerous man in the world...I would figure he wouldn't hold back in his training." Koala offered her opinion.

"Yeah, I guess." It has been three months since Luffy stayed with the Revolutionary Army. He spent most of that time training with his father and the other either eating or hanging out with Koala and Sabo. Some times Sabo would train him in his father's place whenever Dragon had something important come up. Regardless, everyday was a training session for Luffy and he could feel himself getting stronger everyday. He learned so many new techniques and things about his devil fruit he didn't even know about until now. He even learned some fishmen karate from Koala.

He turned his head to the honey brown haired girl and stared at her for a while. Luffy had gotten to know the girl a bit better over the three months and he became great friends with her. He could see why, as anyone who is friends with Sabo would definitely be friends with Luffy and a good person. However, there was one thing that he wanted to get off his chest about her and seeing as how the nurse left, leaving the two of them alone, he thought now would be the best time to ask.

"Ne, Koala?"

"What is it, Luffy-kun?" She asked, pausing her treatment to look at Luffy.

"I know I heard your name before, but I can't figure out where." She looked at him slightly surprised, but then turned her head and placed a finger on her chin as she thought about it.

"Well, I know we never met before and I know you probably didn't hear about me from Sabo..." She tried thinking about it, but she didn't know either.

"Hm? That's weird..." Luffy crossed his arms as he tried to remember.

"Did Robin-san ever mention me?" She asked.

"No, she never mentioned Sabo, so I don't think so." Luffy responded as the two continued to think.

"Hmm?" Koala hummed. "Did anyone else mentioned me or said my name that you know?"

"Hmmm...I don't know..." He then remembered something. "Ah wait...I think...I heard your name somewhere on Fishmen Island."

"Huh? Fishmen Island?" Koala repeated.

"Hmm...I think Jinbe might have mentioned you..." At the name, Koala became excited.

"Eeeehhhh, Jinbe-san mentioned me?"

"I think so...but I don't remember when..."

"Maybe if you think about something else he said, maybe we can connect the dots." She exclaimed as Luffy thought about it.

"Hmm...let's see...something...ah!"

"Did you remember something?" Koala asked.

"Yeah, Sanji's tea was good that day." Koala almost fell off her seat.

"Luffy-kun, how does that help us?"

"Oh, I guess it doesn't, shishishishishi." Koala sighed and face palmed as she reached for a bandage to treat whatever wounds were left to be treated. "Ah, but I do remember something about this, Fisher Tiger guy he talked." At the name, Koala gasped and stared at Luffy wide eyed. He turned to her and was surprised by her reaction. "What? What's wrong?" Koala bit her bottom lip and looked down to the floor.

"Luffy-kun...I..." Luffy could hear the strain and sadness in her voice and immediately began to apologize.

"Ah, I'm sorry, if it's too painful to talk about it, then don't!" Luffy told her. She shook her head.

"It's fine, Luffy-kun." She replied, a small smile on her face. Luffy frowned as he watched her stand up.

"Koala...?" Luffy called to her. Koala clenched her fists tightly before taking a deep breath and releasing it to calm herself down.

"Luffy-kun...only a few people know about this, including Dragon and Sabo, but I am going to tell you because I can trust you...okay?" Koala told him.

"Ah, you don't have to." Luffy told her, feeling bad about her telling him her secret.

"It's okay." She smiled at him and turned around so her back was facing him.

"Koala?" He watched as she started doing something with her hands. After a few seconds, Luffy's eyes widened when he saw her begin to take off her shirt. "K-Koala?" She didn't stop and Luffy watched as she lowered her shirt so that he could see her bra strap, but that's not where Luffy was focusing on. She stopped moving her shirt down just above her hips and on her back was the mark that Luffy found very familiar. "Ah...that mark, I know that mark. That's the same one Jinbe and Hatchi got."

"So, you knew Hatchan also." Koala smiled, remembering the octopus fishman.

"You know Hatchan too?" Luffy asked. Koala answered with a nod.

"The truth is...I was once a slave to the Tenryuubito, the Celestial Dragons." Luffy's eyes widened, but he quickly became angry at the mention of the Celestial Dragons. "I was just a little girl when Fisher Tiger, Captain of the Fishmen Pirates, climbed Mariejois and freed the prisoners who were slaves to those bastards. I managed to escape and I somehow managed to get on board their ship. That is where I met Jinbe-san, Hatchan and the others. However, since I was very young and didn't know anything other than being a slave to the Nobles, all I did is clean and did anything to make sure they didn't kill me or abandon me." Luffy listened to her story, feeling his anger quell down a bit, but still present as she continued. "Then after spending a certain time with them, Fisher Tiger branded me with this new mark...the mark of the Fishmen Pirates...to be honest, that was probably the happiest moment of my young life. I was finally able to cry freely, I was finally free from being a slave. This mark, will always be there as proof as both being a member of the Fishmen Pirates and a slave, but now that I'm here...a member of the Revolutionary Army, I am able to fight against those bastards. I'm sure Jinbe-san didn't think you would meet me so it's fine if he told you about what happened."

"Oh, I was asleep for most of the time, so I didn't hear the whole story." Koala almost tripped as turned around to face him.

"Are you serious?"

"Yep, sorry. I heard some of the stuff he said, but I like that Fisher Tiger guy, he sounded like a cool guy." Luffy grinned as Koala smiled back.

"Yeah he was." She replied. "Ne, Luffy-kun, now that you know about my past...does that change your opinion of me?" She asked, worried that it would be a little awkward between the two.

"Huh?" Luffy stood up and faced her. "Why would it? The you now is all that matters, not the you of the past." He said and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Shishishishi, you're a really good person and awesome friend." Koala smiled at him with a slight blush on her face.

"Thank you, Luffy-kun."

"Oi, Luffy, I heard you got your ass handed to you by your old ma-" Sabo entered the room and stopped speaking when he saw Luffy standing in front of Koala, her back towards Sabo, with her shirt down and bra exposed to Luffy. Sabo didn't know what to make of the situation, so he did what he only could think of doing. "Sorry for interrupting." He bowed and slowly left the room, locking door behind him.

"Wait, Sabo-kun, it's not what you think!?" Koala shouted as Luffy tilted his head in confusion.

"What's up with him?" He asked as he looked at Koala. She turned back around and took a glance down and saw that she was exposing her bra to him and quickly covered herself with her shirt and screamed. "Ah, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" He asked, placing a hand on her shoulder, which proved to be the wrong move.

"Kyaaa, don't touch me!" She shouted and punched Luffy in the jaw sending him up in the air and then down to the ground.

"Sworry..." Luffy mumble from the pain. Koala realized what she did and quickly squatted down in front of Luffy.

"I'm sorry, Luffy-kun! I didn't meant to hit you!" She apologized and quickly went to buttoning her shirt.

Later that evening...

"Ah, so you were telling him about your past..." Sabo said as he looked at Koala, who was embarrassed over what happened. "You know you could have put your shirt back on mid way into it."

"Shut up! It was a really emotional moment for me!" Koala defended herself as Sabo chuckled and told her to calm down.

"In any case, I'm really hoping Luffy would make his decision soon." Sabo sighed.

"Yeah...I hope so too." Koala agreed as they looked down at Sabo's younger brother, who was fast asleep.

It has been a full year since Luffy stayed with the Revolutionary Army. Training day after day with Dragon and others, Luffy could feel himself getting stronger and stronger. From strengthening his haki, to learning new ways to use his devil fruit, to learning different methods of fighting including fishmen karate and how to use a sword.

However, we each passing day, Sabo and the other Revolutionaries still haven't got an answer from Luffy. Sabo, Koala and Dragon knew Luffy needed the time, but they also knew time was running short. They needed an answer from the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and then needed it now.

Luffy was stuffing his face with food, sitting with both Koala and Sabo as they chatted among themselves. Then, many gasps were heard as Dragon made his rare appearance in the cafeteria. He made his way toward his son. Luffy turned his head when he saw his father next to him. "Hm? What?"

"Luffy, you have been here for over a year." Dragon started as Luffy nodded.

"Mm, it's been a lot of fun!" He grinned. However, Dragon did not reciprocate.

"I'm glad you have had fun, but it's time we get a serious answer from you." Dragon told him, making Luffy frown. "Will you join the Revolutionary Army?"

Luffy gave him a serious expression. "I'll answer if you answer me this last question."

"What is it?"

"Why did you form the Revolutionary Army?" The whole cafeteria became silent. Even Sabo and Koala froze at the question. They were quite surprised at Luffy's question. All of them would be lying if they never question Dragon's reason to go against the World Government. He was such a mysterious and intimidating man that no one dared to ask him that question, despite being very curious about it. They turned their heads to Dragon and saw that his expression didn't change since he arrived. They all wondered what was going on inside that man's head.

After what felt like an hour, but really was only a couple minutes, Dragon opened his mouth to speak. "There is a reason, one that concerns you as much as it does me." Dragon responded as Luffy listened. "To be honest, I never hated the World Government, at least not initially. After all, your Grandfather was a marine. In fact, I kind of wanted to be a marine just like him when I was younger. I wanted to be a hero, to protect people." This surprised some of the people in the cafeteria. "However...there came a day when the truth was finally shoved in my face."

"What was it?" Luffy asked curiously.

"Tell me, Luffy. What do you know of your mother?" Sabo and Koala made noises in surprise at the question.

"My mom? I don't know anything about her." Luffy answered honestly.

"I see. So, the old man didn't tell you anything." Dragon sighed. "I guess he thought if he didn't tell you, you would still try to be a marine..." He then chuckled. "...but then you decided to be a pirate...take that old man..." Dragon smirked as Luffy laughed. "Regardless, I will tell you what happened."

"Huh?"

Sabo and Koala leaned slightly forward as they looked at Dragon. "I will tell you, Luffy...about your mother..."

Luffy listened as Dragon told the story about his mother and the reason behind the powerful and dangerous group known as the Revolutionary Army. As Dragon's story continued, Luffy's emotions ranged from different sides of the emotional spectrum (if that's a thing). He was calm, then happy, then joyful, but then he began to frown, feel angry and then finally sadness. Then the story ended and the entire room became silent.

Everyone who listened to Dragon's story were in shock and surprise. Some were even crying. Sabo felt his anger come up to him, clenching his fist at the table as Koala cried softly next to him. They both looked over at Luffy, trying to see what exactly he was feeling after hearing the truth. His eyes shielded by the brim of his Straw Hat. They both knew that it was a lot to take in. However, with the way Luffy thinks...or rather acts, they don't know what to expect. He then stood up.

"Luffy..."

"Luffy-kun..."

"I made my decision." The three held their breath as they waited for his answer. He turned toward his father and looked up at him. "I won't join your army." Dragon frowned at the answer and both Sabo and Koala felt disappointed. "I won't join...but I will help." This caused the three to raise their eyebrows. "Like you said before, Sabo. I helped you guys even if I had no intention of doing so. I still want to do that. I know you're not exactly happy about my decision, after all the help you gave me, but I can't see myself be a member. I am a pirate and I will always be a pirate. My goal is the reason why I met my friends. My goal is the reason they set off for theirs and I don't want to take that away from them. What's the point of me going back in time if I don't do what I originally set out to do."

"But Luffy-kun..."

Dragon couldn't help but laugh a little, surprising Koala. "To be honest I kind of was expecting that answer. You truly turned out to be a good and fine young man, I couldn't be prouder to call you my son." Dragon admitted fondly. "You have been around some amazing people to turn out the way you did."

"Mm. I did." He smiled.

"So, you said you don't want to join, but plan on helping us anyway." Dragon asked turning around.

"That's right." Luffy told him.

"I see...very well then, we start your training." Luffy raised an eyebrow at this.

"Huh? But didn't we already start?"

"If you want to help, we need you to understand how we do things around here and prepare you to help us when we send you back." Dragon told him.

"Hmmm..." Luffy hummed.

"Meet me in the courtyard around three today." Dragon told him and Luffy nodded his head. "Very well then. Sabo, Koala, come with me."

"Huh?" They both questioned as Dragon walked away.

"Ah, wait Dragon-sama!" Koala called after him. Both her and Sabo looked at each other before following after him.

"Dragon-sama, are you sure about this?" Koala asked as she followed close behind Dragon, with Sabo next to her, his arms crossed. "I mean, he did reject you."

"Did he?" Dragon answered, smirking slightly.

"Huh? I mean he did say no."

"Seriously, Koala. You have known Luffy over a year and yet you still don't get him." Sabo told her, smiling softly as well.

"Huh? What are you two talking about?"

"Nothing." Both of them said at the same time, leaving a very confused Koala to try and decipher what they were trying to tell her.

"Thank you so much." An old man shook Sabo's hand as he then moved along with the other refugees on a winter island they were on.

"It's our pleasure. Just keep moving in an orderly fashion everyone! We have enough room to fit all of you." Sabo yelled out tot he refugees as they gave all the members of the Revolutionary Army thanks for rescuing them from their oppression.

Sabo looked around as was smiling. This was the first mission Luffy was able to go on and he found to be a rousing success. They were easily able to rescue everyone who was being held captive and enslaved and it didn't even take much of an effort on their part. However, there was also a secret mission that he instructed both Luffy and Koala to take care, Koala being Luffy's instructor.

Dragon figured that since Luffy spent 2 whole months learning about how they operate, it was about time Luffy could take on this special mission. A trial test in fact to see how he would do. However, he did wonder where they were as they should have been back by now.

"Sabo-kun!" Speaking of the which.

"Oh, Kaola. How did the mission go?" He asked as ran to a stop in front of him, trying to catch her breath.

"Sabo-kun...I kind of lost Luffy-kun." Koala admitted, panicking slightly.

"...you lost Luffy? How did you lose, Luffy?" He questioned her, crossing his arms.

"I don't know. We were checking one of the World Noble's homes for that item we needed to find, but I take my eyes off of him for one second and he just disappeared." Koala told him.

Sabo chuckled a bit. "To be honest that doesn't quite surprise me."

"This is serious, Sabo-kun." Koala yelled. "We need to find him otherwise who knows what he would do."

"It's fine, I trust Luffy." Sabo told her.

"I do too, but what if he..."

"Oi, Sabo, Koala!" Both of them turned their heads at the sound of Luffy's yelling and saw the straw hat boy waving his hands on top of one of the buildings. "Shishishishishi! This is so cool!"

"What are you doing up there!?" Koala shouted.

"I thought it would be cool to come up here and check out the island!" He yelled back.

"This isn't the time for sight seeing, idiot!" She yelled back angrily.

"Hahaha, same old Luffy." Sabo laughed.

"It's not funny." Koala yelled at the older brother. She then turned back to Luffy. "Luffy-kun, get down here now!" She ordered.

"Huh? I don't wanna." He whined.

"Like I care! Get down here now!"

"Tch, fine." Luffy felt annoyed and jumped down from the building and landed in the snow. "Shishishishi, that was fun!" He laughed, but then Koala hit him over the head.

"This isn't the time for games!" She scolded him as he rubbed the bruise he got from her. "Now because you decided to go off and do something on your own, we can't accomplish our mission."

"Huh?" Luffy asked.

"Don't 'huh' me!" She yelled. "Luffy-kun, you have to take this serious. This was an important mission and now we lost track of our objective!"

"Huh? Oh you mean this?" He asked and took out a a piece of paper from within his coat pocket.

"Huh?" Koala exclaimed in shock as she grabbed the paper and took a look at it. "Ah, this is it! How did you?"

"Shishishi, I found it while looking through this fancy, mysterious building on the other side of town. Geez, Koala, you were taking us in the wrong direction. You're almost as bad as Zoro." He laughed, which Koala did not find amusing and hit Luffy again on the head.

"It's not funny, you idiot." He then hit him again.

"Ow, what was that one for!?"

"For making me worry!" She yelled as Sabo could only laugh at the two. However, this earned him a hit on the head.

"Ow, what did I do?" Sabo shouted, holding his bruise.

"For being his brother!" Koala replied.

"Eeeehhhh...then I don't want to be his brother anymore!" Sabo exclaimed.

"What!? Don't do that to me, Sabo!" Luffy exclaimed in shock.

"Shut up!" Kaola yelled again and hit them both on the head.

Back at Headquarters...

"So, how did the mission...go?" Dragon asked, ending his sentence slowly as he saw both Luffy and Sabo nursing bruises on their head, with a very angry Koala in between them.

"It went fine!" Koala replied, still angry.

"I...see..." Dragon sweat dropped at the three. "So, how would you rate Luffy's first mission?"

"It went fine until he decided to go off on his own." Koala said.

"Hey, I..." Luffy started but stopped when Koala glared at him. He quickly shut his mouth and stayed quiet.

"As, I was saying, Luffy-kun irresponsibly went off on his own. However, luckily for him, he did manage to find the secret parchment we were after." Koala continued and handed Dragon the parchment.

"I see...well regardless he got the job done, so I can't fault him for that." Dragon stated, looking over the document.

"Hmph...whatever..." Koala puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

"In any case, Luffy, what about you? What did you think?" Dragon asked his son.

"It was fun, but I still don't want to be a revolutionist." He told him straight out.

"I see..." He smiled and closed his eyes. "Well, then that is all, take the rest of the day off."

"Yahoo!" Luffy cheered. "Come on Koala, let's go get something to eat!" Luffy grabbed her hand and dragged her away.

"Ah, wait Luffy-kun!" Sabo only chuckled as the two left the room. He then turned to Dragon.

"Dragon-san...I need to speak to you about something."

"What is it?"

"It's about Luffy's training." Dragon looked up at him and raised an eyebrow. "I love Luffy and who he is...but I feel like he needs to get a bit smarter before we send him back."

"Are you calling my son stupid?" Dragon asked, feeling a bit offended.

"Well no, but you know, he kind of is a big idiot. I guess he makes it up for his heart." He smiled softly. "I don't mean to be mean or anything but, even if we send him back with all this training...we need to think about what else we can help him with. He doesn't need to be overwhelmingly smart, but enough so that he can understand some of the things in the world so that he doesn't make any big mistakes...after all, we only have one shot at this."

"I can see your point. However, it is really difficult getting to teach Luffy knowledge and increase his intelligence in this stage of his life." Dragon commented. "I will see what I can do." He told him and Sabo nodded.

"Alright, thanks Dragon-san." He turned to walk out of the room, but stopped when Dragon asked him one final question.

"Hey Sabo...I'm going to ask you something personal. Something that has been bothering me."

"What is it?"

"Do you ever think about having kids?" At the sudden and surprising question, Sabo turned around and had a small tint of redness in his cheeks.

"Kids? Why would you ask me that all of a sudden?"

"Nothing. Just...I'm kind of getting old and...I guess it's the father in me saying this...but I kind of want to see my Grand kids before I die..." Dragon admitted.

"Grand kids? Why would that involve me, you should ask Luf...oh right..." Sabo realized where he was going and sighed. "I see what you mean...I kind of wonder if he knows anything about that sort of thing."

"From what I can gather, I don't think so." Dragon sighed. "Well, I guess we should teach him eventually."

"Is that really necessary?" Sabo asked, not sure why Dragon wanted Luffy to learn about that.

"Not really...but I still want Grand Kids...unless you want to..." Sabo put up his hand to stop him.

"We'll teach Luffy...although it might be a little uncomfortable doing so." Sabo told him and then left the room, not wanting to discuss this matter anymore.

"Happy Anniversary, Luffy-kun!" Luffy and Sabo turned their heads to see Koala arrive with a cake in her hands. At the sight of it, Luffy cheered in joy as his eyes shined brightly at the pastry.

"For me!?" Luffy asked excitedly.

"Yep, it's officially been two years since you've been with us, so I thought we should celebrate!" Koala told him and placed the cake on the table.

"Yatta!" Luffy cheered as he stood up and hugged her. Koala giggled and hugged him back before he let go and turned to cake and licked his lips. "Oh boy! Can't wait!"

"Happy Anniversary, Luffy." Sabo told his younger brother, a smile on his face.

"Shishishi! Thanks Sabo." Just then the sound of an alarm began to ring throughout the Headquarters. "Huh? What's going on?"

Koala gasped a she turned to Sabo. "Sabo-kun..this is..."

"Aa..." Sabo narrowed his eyes.

"Oi, what's going on?" Luffy asked, but was ignored by the two of them.

"Crap! We need to find Crona." Sabo told Koala as she nodded her head. "Right, Ill go find her and we'll meet up with Dragon-sama in his room." She then took off.

"Oi, I asked what's going on?" Luffy asked again as he placed a hand on Sabo. Sabo turned to his brother.

"Luffy, I'm going to need you to listen to me very carefully." Luffy stared at Sabo and nodded his head. "That alarm, the one ringing right now, only rings when we are being attacked."

"Attacked? By who?" Luffy asked.

"I don't know yet, but I need you to come with me." Luffy looked at how serious Sabo was and nodded his head.

Suddenly, a wall of the cafeteria exploded as some of the members of the Revolutionary were knocked out from the explosion. When the smoke cleared, several marines came out of the hole and started firing at some of the revolutionaries.

"It's the marines!"

"How did they find this place!?"

"Damn..." Sabo cursed as he looked over at Luffy. "Come on Luffy! We got to go!"

"But wait, what about everyone!?" Luffy asked as he saw some of the people he knew get either captured of injured by the marines. Luffy clenched his hands and was about to take off to help them, but was stopped when Sabo placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry about them, Luffy. I need you to come with me now."

"But..."

"Luffy..." Luffy slightly flinched when he felt Sabo's hand tighten around his shoulder. He looked at Sabo and saw pain in his eyes. Seeing that look in his eyes, Luffy nodded his head and Sabo did the same. The two then took off, ignoring the cries of the men that were being taken down by the marines.

Luffy and Sabo ran throughout the Headquarters as marines started pouring in left and right. Luffy closed his eyes as the screams of his colleagues echoed throughout the halls and into his ears. The voices were clear and loud as day. His chest tightened as he recalled that nightmare two years ago. He wanted to help, but he also knew that whatever Sabo was planning was important enough that they had to ignore their cries.

The duo turned a corner and continued running down the hallway. Eventually they reunited with Koala, Crona now with her. "Sabo-kun!"

"Koala! Good, Crona is safe! Quick, we need to get to Dragon-san's office now!" He told her and she nodded.

"Right!"

The four then continued their run. Luffy turned his head and could see the pained expression on Koala's face. He could tell she was holding back the temptation to help her fellow revolutionaries and this pained Luffy.

"We're almost there!" Sabo told them. "Just around that corner!"

They turned and charged into Dragon's office, but the room was completely empty.

"Dragon-sama isn't here..." Crona noticed.

"That's fine, he's probably taking care of the man who organized this ambush." Sabo replied as he ran over to the bookcase. "Come on, which one was it...?"

"Sabo, what are you doing?" Luffy asked as he saw his brother skimmed through the many books on the bookcase.

After a few seconds, he finally found the book and smirked. "Got it." He pulled the book out and a mechanism activated, causing the bookcase to shake slightly. The others watched as the bookcase then began to move. Luffy looked on in awe as the bookcase moved to the right and behind it a wall that looked different to the others appeared and a weirdly shaped indent was in the center.

"Huh? What's that?" Luffy asked.

"It's a secret passageway used in extreme emergencies...like this one." Sabo told as he rolled up his right sleeve. "We'll use it to make sure Crona uses her abilities to send you back in time, Luffy."

"Huh? I'm going now!?" Luffy asked, surprised by this.

"Unfortunately, we wanted to wait a couple more days, but then we just got ambushed so we have no choice. Crona, are you ready?" He asked the blue haired woman and she nodded her head.

"Yes, I am prepared." Sabo nodded and lifted his arm. He then took his hand and took the form of his 'claws, separating the index and middle finger away from his ring and pinkie finger. He then pushed his arm forward into the hole and then turned his wrists. Another mechanism was activated and Sabo pulled his arm out as the walls separated from each other in the center.

"Sugoi!" Luffy awed at how cool the hidden door was.

"Alright, let's go." Sabo told the others.

"So, we meet again...Dragon's spawn." Luffy's eyes hardened and widen at the most detestable voice he ever head ring through his ears. Sabo angrily glared at the man standing behind his brother and friends as Koala and Crona look terrified at the sudden immense pressure behind them. They slowly turned their heads to see none other than the Fleet Admiral, his typical ugly smug of a face present on his face. "I heard that I could find Dragon here, but I guess I found an even better prey."

"A-Akainu..." Luffy seethed in anger, his teeth and fists clenched as tightly as he could as he turned his head.

"Huh? To think you would be here of all places. I thought you died along with that shitty crew of yours, but I guess I was wrong." Akainu spoke. "But I guess that's fine, now I can kill you personally."

"You...BASTAR-" Luffy was stopped by none other than Sabo as he placed his hand in front of Luffy's face and pushed him back into the secret passageway. They heard his groans as he tumbled down the stairs. Sabo landed in front of Koala and Crona and took out his staff as he lowered his hat to hide his left eye and the other to glare up at Akainu.

"Kaola, Crona go with Luffy, make sure you get him you know where." Sabo ordered the two girls.

"But Sabo-kun..."

"I said GO!" He yelled as Koala flinched slightly.

"Koala-san, we should listen to him and go." Crona said as she placed a hand on her shoulder. Koala looked at the blue haired girl and then back at Sabo. She bit her bottom lip, but nodded as the two of them turned around and ran after Luffy who continued to tumble down the stairs.

Akainu was not amused. "You dare let Dragon's spawn escape from my grasp?"

"You're not going to get your hands on Luffy. As his older brother I refuse you to even lay a hand on him." Sabo told the Fleet Admiral.

"Brother? So, he had another brother...so tell me, are you the spawn of a demon as well?" Akainu asked, as his skin started to show his magma ability.

"That depends..." Sabo answered.

"Huh?"

"...On who you view as demons." Sabo replied as he clenched his fist and activated the powers of the Mera Mera fruit.

"Huh? So, both brothers inherit the Mera Mera Fruit...well, then...I guess you'll both meet the same fate. Dyeing to save a worthless like like Straw Hats." This statement angered Sabo more than anything else he said.

"Worthless? You're wrong...LUFFY'S LIFE, MY BROTHER'S LIFE, IS DEFINETELY NOT WORTHLESS! TAKE THAT BACK YOU MAGMA DICK!" Sabo yelled and jumped at Akainu.

"His life is worthless and it will always will be!" Akainu shouted as their attacks collided in the center of the room.

Luffy eventually came to a stop as he tumbled all the way down to the bottom step. Shaking his head from the fall, he gritted his teeth and tried to run up the stairs. However, Koala and Crona managed to get down quickly and Koala quickly grabbed a hold of Luffy, wrapping her arms around him. "Let me go!" He screamed trying to pry her off of him.

"You can't, Luffy-kun." Koala screamed at him.

"Let me go! I have to help him! I don't want Sabo to die too!" Luffy screamed.

"I understand that, but I still can't let you!" Koala yelled back. "Sabo is distracting him, giving us time for Crona to send you back!"

"I don't care! I need to help Sabo now!" Luffy refused to listen as Crona watched on.

"Luffy-kun, please listen to us. If you go up there now, there is a chance you might die and everything everyone has been doing to make sure that happens will be for nothing. All their sacrifices, their deaths, it all would be meaningless." Luffy gritted his teeth and seemed to calm down a bit. "Also, think about your friends, don't you want to see them again? To protect them?"

"But what about Sabo? And everyone..."

"They will still be there Luffy-kun." Koala told him as his anger seemed to settle down enough that she no longer had to hold on to him.

"It's going to be fine, Luffy-kun. I will make sure you go back in time successfully." Crona reassured him as he turned to her. His fists were clenched, but he loosened them as he closed his eyes. He hated this. He trained for two years, for the moment he would go back in time, to save his friends, to see them again. However, when he saw Akainu, he couldn't control his anger and wanted to beat the living shit out of him.

"Luffy-kun, Sabo-kun will be fine. He's strong. You should know that more than anyone." Koala told him. Luffy looked at her and nodded.

"You're right."

"Of course, I always am, aren't I?" She winked at him and Luffy chuckled.

"Yeah."

"Then, let's go, we have to get to the end of the hallway." Koala told him and he nodded. The trio did just that and ran down the hallway. The hallway shook from time to time, mostly from shock waves from all the cannon fire and explosions that were happening above them. Once the hallway ended, they entered a large room.

"What is this place?" Luffy asked, looking around.

"It looks like some sort of secret shelter..." Koala guessed as they made their way toward the center of the room.

Suddenly, the ceiling above them collapsed and they quickly turned as Sabo suddenly jumped out of the debris and slid to a stop in front of them.

"Sabo!" Luffy called out to him.

"Damn it..." They heard Sabo mutter.

"Sabo-kun, are you ok-" She let out a huge gasp when she saw something that terrified her very core. Luffy also gave a wide eyed look as he couldn't believe what he saw. Crona could only close her eyes and cover her mouth. "Sabo-kun...y-your left arm..."

Sabo's left arm was completely gone as some magma residue was surrounding the left side of his body. "Oh this...don't worry about..." Sabo told them.

"But your left arm, it's gone!" Luffy yelled angrily.

"I said don't worry about it!" He yelled at them. "Crona, you have to send Luffy back now!"

"But Sabo-kun..." Crona muttered.

"Please...I can't hold him much longer..." He said as he spat out some blood.

"Hmph, did you really think you can defeat me, 2nd in command?" Luffy glared angrily as Akainu jumped down from the hole he made and appeared before them.

"Akainu!" Luffy yelled at him.

"Straw Hat..." Akainu examined the room he was in and laughed. "Huh? I thought you were escaping, yet I don't see an exit. Looks like that means I have won, don't you think."

"Damn you..." Luffy seethed as Koala grabbed his arm to hold him back.

"Are you sure about that, magma dick?" Sabo chuckled as he glared ta him.

"Huh? You're delusional. You will all die here and the world will finally be at peace from you wretched spawn of demons." Sabo just continued to chuckle.

"No, you're wrong. We spawn tend to be a pesky bunch." Sabo told him. "We never stop giving up and will always be that fly on the wall that you can never get rid of."

"Heh, you compare yourself to a measly fly, that's rich." He chuckled at that. "Well then, if that's what you want, then I will gladly swat all of you!" Akainu activated his magma as his arms were now overflowing with his ability.

"Crona!" Sabo yelled as he charged at Akainu.

"Yes!" Crona and Koala nodded to themselves and dragged Luffy with them, away from the fight.

"Luffy-kun, we need to start now!" Koala told him. Luffy clenched his teeth and did what she told him and stood in front of Crona. With Sabo and Akainu's fight being heard in the background, Crona closed her eyes and her hands started glowing a blue light. Beneath them, a clock illuminated in the same blue light formed around them. Koala stepped back as she observed, but also looked over at Sabo's fight with Akainu, worried about her best friend.

Luffy clenched his fists and kept his eyes closed as he couldn't handle opening them to see Sabo and Akainu fight. All he could is just stand there and listen to them clash against each other.

"Sabo-kun!" He heard Koala cry and that forced Luffy to open his eyes and lock them on his brother. His eyes widened when he saw a sight that once sent him into a coma. Akainu's magma formed arm was pierced through Sabo's body as the blond spat out blood.

"SABO!" Luffy yelled and was about to rush toward him, but was stopped by Crona.

"PLEASE DON'T MOVE!" Luffy took his eyes off of Sabo and towards Crona who had her eyes closed, but was crying. "Please...don't move...otherwise I have to do this all over again."

Luffy clenched his fists so tightly they were turning white, but didn't move. Despite every fiber of his being to do so and go help Sabo, he couldn't. He didn't want Sabo to die, but he also couldn't allow his sacrifice to be in vain.

"Sabo-kun!" He heard Koala scream again and then heard her yell. He looked at her and his eyes widened in horror as she ran toward Sabo and Akainu.

"Wait! Don't go Koala!" Luffy yelled.

"Aaaahhhh!" She screamed and pulled her fist back. She then activated her Busoshoku Haki, and pulled her fist back. She went to punch Akainu and managed him to push him away from Sabo as his magma arm was pulled out of Sabo's body. She then knelt down in front of Sabo as he fell towards her. "Sabo-kun!" She cried out his name as tears ran down her face.

"K-Koala...get away..." He told her.

"No, I can't!" She told him.

"Please...g-go...go help...L-Luffy..." Koala closed her eyes tightly and pulled him closer to her.

"B-But you..."

"That's enough, you pathetic girl." Koala's eyes widened as Akainu was now over towering her. She looked up and felt terrified of the man. However, she did not let go of Sabo.

"Koala! Run!" Luffy yelled.

Koala clenched her teeth and softly put Sabo down and took a stance against him. "Huh? Are you now going to get in my way?"

"As a member of the Revolutionary Army...I won't back down from anyone who follows orders from those bastard World Nobles!" She proclaimed.

"Oh, you're a brave one...but a completely foolish one." Akainu smirked. "It seems you have to learn about true justice!"

"To hell with your justice!"

"Stop it! Run Koala!" Luffy screamed at her.

"Fine then...if death is what you want then I will happily give it to you." Akainu raised his magma arm and delivered a blow to Koala, who tried to defend herself with haki, but he was just too strong as he managed to pierced through the side of her body, not impaling her, but managed to fry part of her right side. This caused Koala to scream and get pushed back toward Luffy. Her hat flew off her head and landed softly on the ground.

"KOALA!" Luffy screamed at the top of his lungs. He tried to take a step towards her, but stopped himself when he saw the blue light get stronger. He watched painfully as Koala screamed in complete agony at the pain of having part of skin melted off by Akainu's attack. She writhed in pain on the floor, holding her right side. Tears streamed down her face.

Luffy just had about enough. He did not care about going back in time. He needed to help his brother and Koala. With his choice already made, he prepared himself to go after Akainu. "Don't Luffy-kun!"

Luffy stopped and looked at the owner of the voice. "K-Koala..."

"Please Luffy-kun...don't..." She cried as she looked over to him. She forced herself a small smile. "You're almost there..." She gave him a little laugh.

"K-Koala..." Luffy's voice cracked. The pain he felt in his chest was just too overbearing, but he stood put. "Crona...how much longer..."

The blue haired woman responded, "Just a little more." Luffy clenched his fists and closed his eyes.

"I don't know what you are planning, but I won't let you get away."

"Aaaaaahhhhh!" Koala's scream forced Luffy to open his eyes again and he looked on in horror as Akainu stepped on Koala with his leg covered in magma as it began to melt her body.

"KOALA!" Luffy screamed at the top of his lungs as he watched the girl scream and slowly succumb to her death. "YOU BASTARD!"

"Pathetic girl, should have stayed out of my way." Akainu commented and now made his way toward Luffy. "But now I finally have you in my grasps." Luffy angrily looked at Akainu, a few tears falling down his face.

"Just a little more..." Crona muttered, her own tears falling like two waterfalls.

"AKAINU...I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Luffy seethed his name in anger.

"Prepare yourself, Mugiwara! This ends now! Say hello to your crew in hell!" Akainu went for the killing blow on Luffy, however it never made contact with him as Sabo came out of nowhere and blocked Akainu's fist with his pipe covered in haki.

"Sabo!" Luffy yelled as he saw his brother block the attack.

"I won't let you..." Sabo angrily glared at Akainu. Despite the huge gaping hole in his body, Sabo still managed to hold his own against Akainu's attack, irritating the magma user.

"You..." He clenched his teeth in anger at Sabo. "You were supposed to be dead!"

"Heh, like I said, we're nothing but the annoying flies in your life...the ones you just can't seem to get rid of..." Sabo smirked, but spat out blood before taking a deep breath. "CRONA!"

"I'm ready! Luffy-kun, give me your hand!" Luffy felt so much pain it was too agonizing, but he knew what he had to do. Turning to Crona, he took her hand and the blue light surrounded the two of them. Akainu had to close his eyes as a bright blue light illuminated the room. When it ended, he opened his eyes and Luffy was now gone.

"We did it..." Sabo muttered as fell to the ground.

"Sabo-kun!" Crona shouted and ran over to him. She sat down next to him and when she saw the state he was in, she could only look in horror and cry. "Sabo-kun..."

"Great job...Crona..." Sabo smiled as he stared up at the ceiling. "Thank you..."

"Where is Mugiwara!?" Akainu demanded as he glared down at the two of them.

"Hahaha, like we would tell you..." Sabo chuckled.

"It doesn't matter where you hid him, I will find him no matter where he is!" Akainu told him.

"Hahahaha!" Sabo laughed. "Well then...that just means you never will find him then."

"What?"

'Luffy...go...live out your dream, be with your friends again, protect them, save Ace...please don't let this chance go to waste. Go Luffy! Become the King of the Pirates!'

Luffy opened his eyes and when he woke up, his eyes stared up at branches and leaves swaying in the wind. He blinked a couple of times to allow his eyes to get used to the light and sat up. "Ah...where am I...?" He stood up and walked out from under the tree and into the sunlight. He looked down the road and recognized the windmills off in the distance. "This is Foosha...my home...I...really did go back in time..." Luffy muttered in surprise. He looked down at his hands and himself and noticed he was wearing the same clothes he wore when he reunited with his crew back at Sabaody. Even his scar was still there. "I look the same."

He closed his eyes and thought back to the incident in the future with Sabo and the others and clenched his fists tightly. He felt angry but quickly calmed down as he remembered why he was sent back in time. "This time...I will protect them all...I will protect them!" He then reminiscent his crew. 'Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, Jinbei, Ace, Sabo, Koala and Crona...I will protect you all!'

The sea king roared at Luffy, but was completely ignored by him. Luffy clenched his fists as he remembered what happened in the future with Sabo and the others and felt his anger build up. However, he soon settled down as he remembered why he came back in time. "This time...I will protect them all...I will protect them!" He then reminiscent his crew. 'Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, Jinbei...I will protect you all!' He thought with determination. 'Sabo, Koala and Crona...thank you for all the training and sacrifice, I promise you I won't fail...and Ace...I will save you...if it's the last thing I do.' He looked at the road ahead and saw the image of his crew along with Ace, Sabo, Koala and Crona.

Grabbing his Straw Hat, which was swaying around behind him and reached behind him and put it on his head. He then loudly proclaimed to the heavens the same eight words that started his journey all those years ago. "I'M GOING TO BE KING OF THE PIRATES!"

End of Chapter 1

I honestly did not want to make the chapter this long, but I just had so many ideas that I wanted to put them all in here. I hope you still like it and read through it all. Also, check below for an omake about the day Sabo was teaching Luffy about sex. Should give you a little giggle, hopefully. Also, about Luffy's mother, I decided to leave that blank because we honestly don't know why Dragon started the army, but I have an idea for a past story that I could make into an omake, but only if you guys are interested in hearing my take on what happened. Oh, and next chapter I will talk about how Luffy and the Revolutionary army will interact with missions and stuff. I thought about putting it here, but decided there was enough here to leave it in the next chapter, which I promise will a lot shorter than this one. Thank you for reading!

Omake – Luffy's Sex Education

"So, what are you going to teach me today, Sabo?" Luffy grinned as he rocked back and forth in his chair.

"Actually, I'm curious too." Koala asked not being in the loop of today's lesson.

"W-Well...you see...umm...Koala...I think you shouldn't be here for this lesson...it's kind of private..." Sabo said to her as she raised an eyebrow in question.

"Huh? What kind of lesson is that?"

"Just trust me on this." Sabo told her, but she wasn't buying it.

"Oh no! I won't fall for this again. You tell me to leave for some unknown reason and next thing I know, you guys are fooling around. Sorry, but that's not happening! I'm staying!" She firmly stood her ground as she crossed her arms underneath her bust.

Sabo nervously looked at her and sighed. "Fine...but don't say I didn't warn you." He then turned to Luffy. "So...Luffy..."

"What is it? What are you going tot each me?" Luffy asked, feeling suddenly excited over this lesson.

"Well you see...after talking with Dragon-san...we've decided that it would best if I teach you today...the lesson of...the birds...and the bees..." Koala gasped and felt her face get hot as Luffy looked at him in total confusion.

"Birds and bees? Why?" Luffy asked.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS, SABO-KUN!?" Koala yelled.

"I told you to leave, didn't I! Now guess what, you aren't leaving and helping me teach Luffy about this!" Sabo shouted back at her, pointing a finger.

"Like hell I am." She yelled back and started heading toward the door.

"Oh no you don't!" Sabo flicked his finger and a wall of fire rose from the floor and up, blocking Koala from leaving.

"Are you an idiot!?" Koala yelled and questioned his decision. "Do you want to burn this place to the ground!?"

"Calm down, I can control the flames from spreading." Sabo told her.

"That's not the point! Let me out now!"

"No! I gave you the chance to leave and you didn't take it, so now you're staying and helping me teach Luffy about sex!" Koala screamed and became flustered at the sound of the word and placed her hands over her ears.

"Don't say that word! It's too embarrassing!"

"Sex? What's that?" Luffy asked as Koala screamed again. Sabo however felt extremely awkward when he heard his younger brother say that word.

"Oh Oda...what did I just put myself through." Sabo asked no one in particular, face palming.

"This is all your fault!" Koala screamed at him.

"Don't blame this on me! Dragon-san is the one that wanted to teach Luffy about this!"

"Then why isn't he here to do it!"

"He had to leave on an important mission."

"Well isn't that convenient that it was today!" Koala and Sabo continued yelling as Luffy was confused on what was going on.

"Okay, look, let's just calmly explain to him the generic idea of se-" He stopped when he saw the angry glare Koala gave him and changed his sentence. "the birds and the bees so he can understand quickly and we can end this lesson."

"F-Fine. Let's get this over with." Koala sighed in defeat, her face still as red as the hat she was wearing.

They turned to Luffy and he looked at them with a blank expression. "Okay Luffy...let me ask you something and I want you to answer me honestly."

"Of course!" He grinned.

"Okay...have you ever felt weird around...girls?" Sabo asked.

"Weird? What do you mean?" Luffy tilted his head to the side.

"Like an weird emotion you never felt before. Like in your stomach...or between your legs..." Koala closed her eyes and looked away, her face getting hotter with every passing second.

"Hm? No...I don't think so..."

"Ugh...okay how about...ah Robin, did you ever feel weird when you saw her in a swimsuit or clothes that reveal a lot of her skin?" Sabo tried again.

"No, why? Should I?"

"Well, I mean...argh this is almost impossible." He ruffled his blond hair in annoyance.

"Let me try." Koala decided to give it a shot, despite her face being beet red. "Luffy-kun, when I talked to you about my past and I..." She turned even more red, if that was humanly possible. "..when I took off my shirt and you saw my b-bra..." She couldn't handle this. "...did you feel weird between your legs...?"

"Hmm? I don't think so."

Koala kind of felt insulted by that answer, but seeing as how he wasn't understanding what they were trying to get through his head, she let that answer go.

"Luffy, did your thing, did it ever grow when you saw a girl in a swimsuit or almost naked?" Sabo asked as Koala blushed very deeply.

"My thing?"

"You know...the thing between your legs..."

"Oh, you mean my..."

"Don't say it!" Koala yelled, putting a hand over his mouth to stop him from continuing that sentence. She let go of his mouth, but that didn't stop him from continuing the sentence.

"...you mean my family jewels...nope I don't think so."

"F-Family jewels..." Both of the repeated, but Sabo put a hand over his mouth and couldn't hold back his laughter.

"It's not funny!" Koala yelled at Sabo.

"Right, right...sorry..." Sabo apologized. Oh how he wished Ace was here so that he could enjoy that moment Luffy said family jewels. "Okay, Luffy I wasn't talking about your family jewels...I mean the other part..."

"Oh my..." He caught Koala's glare and changed his sentence in time. "...my thing. I see. The answer is still no though." He said in such a calm manner, not feeling embarrassed, which Koala couldn't believe.

"Really? Not even once?" Sabo asked.

"Nope."

"You got to be serious. Hold on...Luffy are you into guys?" Sabo asked.

"Into guys? What does that mean?"

"I guess I can take that as a no." Sabo concluded by his answer. "Luffy, are you perhaps, asexual?"

"Asexual?" Luffy again was confused by another term he never heard of before.

"Asexual...like you don't feel aroused by anyone." Sabo explained.

"Aroused?"

"You don't even know what that means? Oh man, this literally impossible." Sabo face palmed.

"Well then why don't you two show me what you guys are talking about? I probably would know if I saw it." Luffy suggested and that only caused both of them to blush deeply.

"No! That's not happening! They both yelled at him.

"Okay...but I still don''t get it." Luffy told them as both tried to slow down their racing hearts. Koala took a deep breath and decided to try a different approach.

"Luffy-kun, do you know what love is?" Koala asked.

"Of course I do. I love all my friends and I love you guys." Koala shook her head.

"No, not that kind of love...like a special love, one you would feel for a very special person."

"Hmm..."

"Like the type of love that you would do anything for that person. You would always want to see them and hang out with them. Basically you feel all warm inside when your together, but when you are separated you feel lonely and want to do anything to see them again." She explained as Luffy seemed to being getting what she was going for...they hoped.

"I think it's working Koala, keep going."

She nodded and continued. "Then eventually you would start kissing and maybe have...you know that..and then get married and have kids and live together for the rest of your life with that person."

"Marriage? Oh, that's what Hancock always asked me." Luffy said, which surprised both Sabo and Koala.

"Huh? Boa Hancock, the proclaimed most beautiful woman in the world asked you to marry her!?" Sabo asked in complete shock.

"Yeah, but I told her I wasn't going to marry her."

"I...I see...wow..." Sabo was in shock that his little brother managed to get someone like Boa Hancock to like him to the point she wanted to marry him.

"Wait a minute...did you say kids?" Luffy suddenly asked as he looked at Koala.

"Uh...yeah." She nodded.

"Wait, are you guys talking about mating?" Both of them looked at him in shock.

"Wait, you know about mating!?" They both yelled.

"Aa." He smiled at them.

"Are you some kind of wild animal?" Sabo asked.

"Huh? No, I'm a human. A rubber human!"

"Well, technically we are still animals." Koala said.

"Hold on, out of all the words to know about that, you know the one word used to describe other animals doing it?" Sabo asked and questioned where he got that knowledge from.

"Well yeah, I'm not an idiot."

'No offense, but only an idiot would know that term instead of sex...' Sabo thought. "Okay, well at least we got somewhere. Okay then, Luffy did you ever think about mating with someone, like a member of your crew, or someone you met on your adventures?"

"Not really." He answered honestly.

"I see..." Sabo didn't know where to go from here. "Well...I mean...okay..."

"Why do I have to learn this anyway?" Luffy asked.

"Actually, that is a good question...Sabo-kun? Why does Luffy need to know this?" Koala asked, narrowing her eyes at him.

"W-Well...Dragon-san asked me because...well...ummm..." Sabo became nervous when he was suddenly being asked the questions.

"Huh? This sounds suspicious." Koala approached Sabo.

"Okay look, I can't tell you why, but I just thought Luffy needed to know about this stuff in case he ever wants to have kids or something." Sabo told her.

"Kids? Sure that sounds like fun." Luffy told them and grinned. Both of them quickly whipped their heads at him. "Shishishishi! Having mini mes running around my ship sounds so awesome! Hey, I just realized I can make new crew mates."

"Ah wait a minute, Luffy-kun." Koala stopped him as he looked at her. "Don't you think doing that would be too dangerous for children?" She asked him. 'Also, I can't let him leave here thinking he can do this and that and having kids...there is a whole lot of ways that can backfire.'

"Ah, you're right." Luffy agreed. "But I don't want to stop adventuring so I guess I can't have kids..." He slightly frowned at the thought.

"W-Well...I mean you can still do the act of mating without having kids." Sabo told him.

"Huh? Then why do it unless you want to have kids?" Luffy's question actually stunned both of them. It was both stupid, but very smart of him to ask that question.

"Well, you see, mating, without having kids actually feels good. It makes you feel like something you never felt before and it feels very good." Sabot old him.

"Huh? How good?"

"Well...I guess as good as you eating meat...maybe better..." Sabo offered an example.

"Huh? Better than eating meat? No way!" Luffy disagreed and that shocked Sabo.

'Oi, is he serious?' Sabo thought. "It's true."

"I don't believe you." He said and stood up. "Did you ever mate before?"

"W-What? Me?" Sabo blushed. "Well, no, but I know that it feels good from hearing about it from everyone else who has done it."

"Huh? What about you, Koala?" The girl blushed.

"M-Me? Of course I haven't!" She yelled, very flustered and poking her index fingers together. "I wouldn't want to do it until I found someone special and we got married and...there is an order to this thing, you know!"

"I see...so none of you know if it really feels better than eating meat." Luffy proclaimed.

"We may not have done it, but trust us Luffy...it does." Sabo told him.

"Hmm...then..." When he turned to Koala, she looked at him with wide eyes and started sweating. Her face getting hotter the longer he looked at her.

"L-Luffy-kun...what are you...?"

"Koala, you said I should trust you guys that it feels better than eating meat, so mate with me and prove it!" Koala went red all over her body at what Luffy just asked of her. It wasn't physically possible, unless your Luffy and in gear second, but both Sabo and Luffy could have sworn they saw steam coming out her body. "Sugoi, you know how to use Gear Second too!?"

"N-N-No..I...I...I..." Koala felt like she was going to faint before she quickly headed toward the door. "My heart isn't ready!" Sabo quickly dispersed his flames from the door to make sure she didn't burn herself and the brothers watch her leave the room. They heard her crying and yelling something about her heart not being ready over and over again until her voice died down.

Sabo sighed and looked over at Luffy. "Luffy, you can't just go around and asking girls that."

"Huh? But you said that it felt better than eating meat so I wanted to see if you were right." Luffy told him and Sabo really put himself in a big hole.

"Look Luffy, just don't mate with just anyone. Make sure you know them and they agree with you to mate, but only if you really like, no, love that person, okay?" Luffy stared at him before nodding.

"Okay, but I still don't believe it feels better than eating meat."

"Trust me, Luffy...it does."

A couple of days later...

So, Dragon-sama, I have been meaning to ask you when you returned..." Koala spoke to Dragon as he looked up from his paperwork and looked at her.

"What is it?"

"A couple of days ago, we...we taught Luffy-kun about, you know..." She squirmed in place, a blush on her face.

"Ah, yes, Sabo told me. Thanks for that." Koala puffed her cheeks as she never felt so embarrassed in her life.

"...well...I was meaning to ask you...why did you ask Sabo to teach Luffy-kun about that of all things?"

"Oh, well I'm getting older and kind of want to see my Grand kids at some point in my life before I die, so..." His office suddenly felt hot as he looked at Kola and noticed the extreme anger and flames that surrounded her as he sweat dropped. "K-Koala..."

"You mean...you made me go through that all because you want to see some imaginary Grand Kids you probably won't have..."

"Uh, I mean...I..."

"Dragon-sama...may I have a word with you..." She smiled the most evil and chaotic smile Dragon had ever seen as she cracked her fingers.

"W-Wait Koala...I can explain..."

"DIE YOU BASTARD!"

For the first time, the screams of agony of a certain individual were heard throughout the Headquarters as no one, ever decided to make Koala angry and face her wrath.

Omake End
