Prologue: God Comes Down to earth
7 years ago Fushia Village, Dawn Island
The Red-Hairs Pirates have taken to the pub within Fushia village taking the small village as a base of operations until further notice. Upon closer inspection one could see a pair sitting directly at the back. This pair was one Red Haired Shanks, a man with three scars across his left eye, some averagely loose brown pants, an untidy white shirt, and an overtly large black cloak shouldered over his back. While across from him was the young Monkey D. Luffy, The very center of our story.
"I'll be a great pirate! I have a punch like a pistol!" Luffy Exclaimed. The entire Red-Hairs crew had a jolly laugh at that one.
"Sure you do Luffy, but you can't be a great pirate on just punches. You're much to young and you can't even swim." Shanks replied with a downward look from Luffy.
"But I can learn to swim, and I'm seven years old. That's definitely old right?" Luffy questions.
"No, it's not, its quite young actually. Give it around ten years before you even think of sailing off." Shanks Retorted causing Luffy to yet again look at the floor forlorn and depressed as his situation was grave for him becoming a pirate this early in his life and thinking about it too much hurt his head way too much. So to rid his mind of such thoughts Luffy looked around the bar seeing all of Shanks crew-mates and thinking I'll definitely have a lot of Nakama like Shanks. But as his head moved on it found a treasure box directly to his left and brought his thinking to what might Shanks carry in a treasure box with him at all times not even leaving it on the ship? But unfortunately for Luffy that question would not be answered now because 1. It hurt his head to much to think about and 2. a new visitor had arrived.
"I see that the pirates have taken to the bar already" stated a large man with a goatee, black hair, and an X shaped scar above his right eye " You've gotta have some rum left so give me all that you've got."
"I'm sorry but we're all out of rum, this man here bought all we had left." Makino, the bar maid, said pointing at Shanks.
"Hey no big deal Makino, I've only taken a sip so if you want it you can have it, whoever you are?" Shanks replied drunkenly
"Higuma, if you were wondering, but as if I'd take anything from a filthy pirate. In fact why don't you and your crew get on your ship and leave, and never come back!" Higuma answered angrily smashing the bottle of rum all over Shanks nice white shirt staining it a horrid orange.
"But, why is the rum gone?" Shanks questioned not knowing in his drunken stupor it was knocked out of his hands "Ohh Hahahaha nothing I can do about it now" Finally noticing the spilled rum as Higuma leaves the bar angrily "Sorry Makino I'll clean it up later" Shanks said
"No, it's fine Shanks, I've got this" Makino replied
"Shanks, How could you let them do that to you, You could've easily kicked his butt, no problem" Luffy angrily retorted
"And what would that have achieved Luffy? I'll tell you because we can't sit here for three days while you think, Nothing Luffy, Nothing. Take it from me a guy like that wasn't even worth fighting all he had for anyone was insults he'd never be a real fight. Truth be told you can't win everything with just your fists its something you'll have to get through your thick skull sometime Luffy." Shanks answered but Luffy was not satisfied and all of Shanks talk made Luffy have to thinking and all this thinking made Luffy Hungry and curious. This led to Luffy opening the treasure chest which for half a millisecond he thought why wasn't it locked but the other was infatuated by the fact that the box was filled with food which Luffy loved with all his heart and more. So as the stories been told a thousand times Luffy grabbed the weirdly angelically sounded fruit this time and shoved it into his mouth and stress ate it so hard it went down in one gulp. "Shit! What was that sound? Where did the fruit go? Luffy you need to tell me." Shanks asked questioningly looking everywhere and even shaking Luffy after hearing the sound
"I ate it Shanks, it tasted like barf covered in dog shit, why would you even have a fruit like that Shanks?" Luffy questioned looking ready to Barf
"Luffy you IDIOT, that was a devil fruit, you'll never be able to swim...ever" Shanks said
"What? Now I'll never be a pirate stupid fruit, all it does is takes away your ability to swim" Luffy fumed
"Well... Not exactly, the devil fruits do also give you powers for you're ability to be in water but we didn't even know what that one was and we probably never will now" Shanks explained
"Wow, wonder what my power is maybe it'll something cool like being able to shoot laser beams, or become an awesome cyborg. pew! pew! pew!." Luffy exclaimed
"Actually no Luffy devil fruits don't work like that, there are actually three types of devil fruits paramecia, zoan, and logia. Paramecia's change how your body works in differ..." Luffy was already bored and couldn't listen to the rest of his lecture and instead vested to do like his future brother and take a short power nap. "And that's how devil fruits work... Luffy? Luffy? LUFFY!" This final exclamation woke Luffy up from his short nap and vested his interest back onto Shanks. "You weren't listening were you?"
"Not at all" Luffy replied "I'm gonna go back home see you tomorrow Shanks"
"LUFFY, you can't do that you don't even know what could happen you could be made of plasma for gosh sakes. I'm not reaching him am I?" Shanks questioned
"Nope" Everyone in the bar unisonly said.
Days Later
The Bandits under control of Higuma came back to small village and had started to harass the people of the town yet again. But this time there was a boy, a lone boy fighting on his own turf waiting for the bandits right in the town square and he said
"Fight me Higuma I'm ten times the man you'll ever be" the time after will not be described as what Higuma did to Luffy should not be told to anyone anywhere for saying that or insulting Higuma in that way and therefore has been censored and we'll be moving on now.
"Shanks you need to save Luffy he tried to fight of Higuma in the town square and ohh it's not looking pretty" Makino stated
"Right on my way" Shanks answered rushing out of the bar to save their little buddy "I suggest you let Luffy go Higuma, before you get yourself hurt" Shanks said looking at Luffy's bloodied body covered in wait, what? Gold, actually it seemed like the gold was the blood and it was dripping out of Luffy's body "So his devil fruit might have something to do with that" Shanks whispered
"What are You going to do about it your just a filthy pirate who gets drunk all day, like you could even save a bottle of rum from being broken on your own head. Why don't you do as I suggested earlier and get out of this town and leave it to me." Higuma stated
"I'm just here for the boy Higuma just leave and you won't have to get rough and tough with us now will you?" Shanks answered
"I'm done with this attack men and leave no survivors" Higuma scoffed as all his men ran toward Shanks crew in a charge but were suddenly bewildered as a stray tumbleweed crossed their paths and they saw a figure, a figure of Yasopp Shanks best gunner in a wild west pose and for a while all was still... until Yasopp pulled out his musket in a quickdraw and quickly shoots most of the men within and near instant headshoting as many as possible but killing all of them in an easy shot and then pulling the musket to his leap and let out low breath separating all the smoke left from his gunshots from the gun
"But where's Higuma?" Shanks questioned
"Leaving for the beach on a getaway vacation I see" Yasopp replied
"Serves you right brat, I mean you almost got me killed today with all the racket you made. I'll never attack a pirate again" Higuma stated loudly as all that Luffy could do was groan as all the golden blood in his was leaking out surely and slowly while also healing at an unprecedented rate. But at that same moment a sea king appeared and lowly growled at the raft they both had shared "AAAAAHHHH" Higuma screeched upon the horrid sight while a moment later his scream was silenced like a wave crashing on a beach his life had ended without much care from anyone anywhere. But that's not what mattered as even more importantly the sea king destroyed the raft which meant that an end for Luffy seemed nigh but all of a sudden there was a red flash and all of a sudden Shanks was there and he gave the monster a good fright with only one word
"Leave" and with that the monster vanished but taking with him much more valuable than could be stated with words, Shanks arm
A While Later
"Goodbye Shanks, but remember next time I see you I'm gonna be an even better pirate than you, though I don't know what that is" Luffy said.
"Well, the only thing better than me in the ranking system would be King of the Pirates, is that your goal Luffy? If it is I have something for you that I'm gonna hold you to giving back to me later ,alright?" Shanks asked
"Yeah I'll be king of the Pirates with a crew just as great, no better than yours, and I'll be super strong stronger than maybe that whitebeard guy you were talking about" Luffy exclaimed
"Alright then Luffy if that's so then I guess I'll be leaving this hat in your care until you can get to the grand line and give it back to me." Shanks stated taking his own straw hat off of his head and plopping it on Luffys in an almost perfect fit but he'd grow into it. Looking back at Luffy as he left he could almost feel that he was along with the rest of the next generation going to become great pirates as good as him maybe but what was he thinking Luffy might go get himself killed in a whirlpool before he could even get to the next island, but it was a price he was willing to put his stock in.
That is the end of the Prologue read and review if you so choose and I will try to read all criticism, just for the fun of it
Also as for Luffy's will be god powers if you have suggestions please comment them and provide evidence from a holy book that a god used it and it can be from literally any religion even mostly dead ones like greek/roman mythology or norse mythology, shinto, hindu, buddhist, christian, muslim, and chinese or more also work any power that these god's have displayed he will be able to use so if you could provide evidence for each of these powers as well that would be great has to be from a holy book or book accepted for that religions stories or myth's. I will also provide evidence or proof of the powers I'm describing if someone is confused as to how or what Luffy may have done using his new devil fruit
