Disclaimer: I Own Nothing

Summary: Luffy eats instead of the Gum Gum Fruit he eats the Kaze Kaze Fruit and becomes a Air Human. Luffy instead of waiting until he was 17 sets out with his own crew at the age of 7 with the aid of his first mate Dellinger. Canon for the most part. Luff/Dellinger pairing.

Set Sail

"Damn Gramps. I can't believe he left me here by myself again. At least with him gone I can practice my Devil Fruit Powers." It's been four months since Shanks left for good and I got my powers. Gramps was super mad when he found out. He even tried to stick me with bandits to teach me a lesson but the second he left I was out of there, I made friends with one kid but that was it. Gramps is so useless though all he ever does is scream and hit me. Literally the only useful thing he left me is a book about fighting techniques and something called Haki. At least I can turn into gas. Still figuring out the rest of the things though, and it wasn't until recently I was able to do that.

"I hate always being alone. I want to get off this island and become a pirate."

"We can help you with that." I jump as I hear a voice suddenly say from nowhere. I get confused as I see two strange looking people appear from out of the water.

"Who and what are you two."

"We're fishmen. We've traveled a long way from our island to see you as I saw us helping you on your path to greatness. My name is Shyarly and this is Dellinger. I'm a psychic mermaid and this is my friend Dellinger, he's a fighting fish/human hybrid. I saw that you'll do great things."

"Awesome. Does your powers predict I'll accomplish my goal of becoming Pirate King?"

"Can't say for certain. All I know is, is that we're to help you. We even brought a ship." She points off in the distance and I see to my surprise and see what looks like a warship with a mermaid figurehead holding two sabers. This is the ship which will take you around the world. It's a self repairing ship, and is near indestructible."

"Awesome, what do we call it?"

"That's for you to decide young captain."

"I call it the Queen Anne Revenge."

"Excellent, don't you think Dellinger?" Noticing the dark look in his eyes she stepped back. "Eh, you might wanna run."

Before I could do anything he pounced on me. "If you want to be my captain then you have to prove yourself worthy of my assistance."

"Forgot to mention he's sadistic. You're gonna have to subdue him to get him to calm down." Before the scary fishman could do something to me I turned into air and moved out of his grip and pounced on top of him since he was my age.

"Looks like he got ya Dellinger."

"Fine." With that I got off him.

"Good job, he usually doesn't give up so easily. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention we have two other members. They're from the Mink Tribe. They're similar to Fishmen since they're like humans with extra features. One's a polar bear and the other's a rabbit. All of us are skilled in our own ways with our species' techniques. Which are Electro and Fishman Karate. Although there's a lot we still have to learn but we can grow overtime."

"Alright then. Let's go so I can become Pirate King." On that day the Fallen Pirates were born.

"Captain we're coming up on Cocoyashii Village where my brother is currently based."

"Excellent Navigator. Let's go and kick his ass." Luffy ends up getting a slap for that. After causing mayhem all over the East Blue and getting the attention of the marines the Fallen Pirates disappeared for five years and haven't been seen since. Most assumed that they were either dead or caught by the navy and thrown in Impel Down. But they were training to become stronger. And after so long away the small crew of seven have mastered their fighting styles.

"Oh my dear captain, I'll rip them all to shreds for you." I'll admit I worry about him sometimes. Even after all this time away from people he's still a huge sadist. Since I beat him when we first met and the other times he's tried to challenge me he's been super clingy to me for some reason.

"Seems like talking is out of the question, just him down really hard. I'll guard the ship while you lot do all the work." Laziest person I ever met.

"Let's go I say as I put on my cloak with my jolly roger of a skull with a skull covered in smoke with fins where the bones would be.

"You humans are pathetic, there's nothing you can do to stop us."

"Oh I wouldn't be too sure about that little brother. Nice to see you again Hatchi."

"Oh hey Shyarly long time no see."

"Big sis, why are you here? With a human no less."

"Why piracy my dear, same as you."

Before he could open his mouth he ended up being thrown into the top of Arlong Park.

"BOSS!"

The Arlong Pirates call out in confusion at what happened. They look and see me with my fist extended and were very confused as I was just at the entrance.

"Hey don't worry about your captain, your opponent is us." With that the Fallen Pirates backed up their captain as I jumped into the top floor of the building as they made short work of Arlong's men.

"This'll be fun, it's been forever since I've gotten to really kill somebody." He's really enjoying himself. Then again giving a sadist Kukri knives, was probably not my best idea.

"Why are you attacking us? We're fishmen just like you. Traitor." He collapsed dead on the ground from a bullet which had been infused with Haki." Shyarly is not much combat wise, but she was given a gun so she can protect herself nonetheless.

"Hatchi, get your head out of the coral and kill them." Yelled Kuroobi to the octopus.

"I-I-I I can't do it." To prevent any damage to Hatchi, Zepo cut down the Fishmen who were trying to entice him to fight. Carrot popped up behind Hatchi and used the but of her sword and hit him in the neck to knock him out cold.

"Just give up, you'll never beat us, you shall all die." As they were about to attack again there was aloud crash and suddenly Arlong Park collapsed.

"Showing off as usual, huh captain." Everyone stood open mouthed as a small tornado of air rose from the rubble and out came a boy who couldn't be older than thirteen wearing a Straw Hat.

"You know how it is, I just can't help myself sometimes."

"You damn human. How dare you do that to me."

"Quite easily in fact I ate the,"

"Die." He tried to slash me into pieces with a big sword that had what looked like shark teeth on it. Key word tried. "What the hell. You must've eaten a Devil Fruit." He finally came out of his blind rage long enough to notice that his attacks were doing nothing. And my body was reforming itself

"You know I could have you arrested in two ways. For a brief amount of time I was part of the navy and despite my young age I had connections which got me a high rank. The other part though is a close guarded secret."

"I don't care if a squirt like you was a navy officer, that still doesn't change the fact that you're nothing but a snot nosed brat."

"See that's the thing my grandfather is Vice Admiral Garp. He gave me a book of combat techniques so I joined under his tutelage for two years and before I went rogue I had the rank of Rear Admiral. I was only able to join because I was able to beat my grandfather in a duel."

Arlong gasped in shock as he'd heard rumors of a naval officer who was able to beat a Vice Admiral at a very young age, but he'd assumed that he was a teenager or something.

"I'm done talking, my crew should be finished with yours so I'm out." Arlong tried to lunge at him until I used my powers to control the air in the room and made it extremely heavy. "Explosion." With that the whole building collapsed down around us with me turning into air to escape.

"Well gang we're done here. Someone call the navy."

"Hold it right there pirate scum." I turned to see a guy who resembled a mouse and a small platoon of marines pointing their weapons at me.

"Wait officer, we were on our way out. Wait a minute I recognize you, what was your name again, Marmalade?" I say placing my hand on my face in mock thought.

"That's not even close you ass. Wait captain I recognize him. It's former Rear Admiral Monkey D. Luffy, Vice Admiral Garp's grandson who went rogue."

He backed away in fear. Why shouldn't he I was his trainer. "Well if it isn't my former student. I never did like you. My time in the navy was just a cover. It was just to get inside information about Vegapunk nothing more nothing less. I'm a pirate and have been for almost six years. But enough catching up I'd turn around if I were you." He looked to see his men on the ground, alive but barely, and him surrounded by my crew minus Shyarly who was still on the ship.

"Wait master can't we work this out."

"I don't care what you want we're leaving. Make sure your report exactly what happened today. If you don't I'll know and I'll find and kill you." He fell on his butt in fright at the threat knowing I wasn't kidding. "Take the octopus to the ship and tie him to the mast. He shouldn't be much of a problem. I'll meet you back on the ship later. I've got to see a woman about a tangerine." With that disappeared in a gust of wind with Dellinger as backup seeing as I heard how violent the woman I'm after is.

"What's with all that noise? It's been like that all day." Asked a blue haired woman who was with her sister in their home.

"Nami, I don't know but this is unsettling, Arlong must be causing trouble with some foolhardy marines again. Anyways since it seems to have settled it's time to go see Arlong and give him his money, and then we'll finally be free."

"That won't be necessary Cat Burglar Nami." She got nervous as a disembodied voice spoke to her. When two people appeared out of nowhere. She immediately jumped up and assembled her staff with Nojiko grabbing a rifle.

"Who the hell are you people?" I hold Dellinger back sensing him about to attack.

"No need to worry, we're not here to hurt you. You'll here about us in about five seconds."

"What the hell are you,"

"Nami, Nojiko."

"Genzo?" They head outside to see the whole village at their front door. "What's going on?"

"Arlong Park is destroyed and Arlong and his men are on their way to prison. Some pirates showed up and kicked all their asses even the navy got scared at the mere sight of him. Apparently he's a former Rear Admiral despite being only thirteen. He's related to one of the Vice Admirals and he's, wait a minute he's right there."

He pointed at the front of the house and out walked the man in question. "Hello again everyone. Name's Monkey D. Luffy, although I prefer Fallen Monkey. Yes it's true I am a former Marine Officer and am related to Garp although I don't like to talk about him so please don't ask."

"I've heard of you. You're that rookie pirate with a bounty of 265,000,000."

"Yeah, yeah, my bounty's high and I've got a small crew of fishmen and minks. Wait a minute, my bounty got higher."

"I told you that last week captain. How can I man with your abilities not know about his own bounty."

"Sorry but you know how hectic things were tracking down our last target I was taking a recovery nap. Anyway I traveled a long way to find you. Don't worry I'm not asking you to join or anything. I have someone here who wants to apologize." With that I handed her a transponder snail from my black cloak and handed it to her and she picked up the receiver.

"Hello." Nervously she speaks to the mysterious person on the other end.

"Nice to meet you Cat Burglar Nami. My name is Madam Shyarla, sniper of the Fallen Pirates. The reason I wanted to speak to you is to deeply apologize on behalf of my younger brother. I didn't know he'd caused you and your village so much trouble. I never would've thought he'd go so far. Once we leave we won't be bothering you again." Click.

"Let's go Dellinger. By the way that won't work, I ate a Logia, I'm made of air. Goodbye people of Cocoyashi." With that the both of us left for the ship.

"Sure we can't stay for the party captain?"

"No Dellinger we need to head back to the Grand Line. I admit I'm not thrilled about going through Paradise again. Look we have to go back, I don't want to like you but it's necessary."

"Fine. Then let's set sail to the Red Line."

"Wait a minute pirates." We turn to see the village had gathered at the dock with bags of food and money. "We wanna thank you all for saving us from the tyranny we've had to face under Arlong and Nezumi. Please take these as our tokens of appreciation." Carrot takes them on the ship and as I was about to give the order to give the order to shove off I hear a booming voice yell."

"Stop right there Luffy."

"You've got to be kidding me. Get us out of here now Zepo."

"Aye Aye captain." He turns the ship and we started sailing and see the crazy old man running from the top of the hill.

"Go away gramps."

"I'm your grandpa I have the right to be in your life." Expecting something like this to happy I developed a new technique and headed to the crow's nest.

"Turn the ship ninety degrees to port." Confusedly he complies with the order and turns the ship to the sun. "Everyone hold onto something. I've never tried this before so prepare for a rough start." I know I have to rush as Garp was closing in so I spread out my hands and after a few seconds it encompassed the hull of the ship. "Sky Bridge".

As soon as I said that I collapsed near the wheel and just as I see gramps about to jump onto the ship so I spin the wheel as fast as I could starboard away from the sun. And suddenly we started sailing through the sky.

"What the hell? Those pirates can fly."

"See ya gramps. Off to Loguetown."

"Cheeky brat."

"Vice Admiral shall we prepare for pursuit?"

"No, Smoker can take care of them. Damn punk is just like his father. Why couldn't he be like his mother?"

"Is the captain gonna be alright?"

"He'll be fine carrot he just overexerted himself that's all. At least we were able to escape the navy before we touched down again. Since this area seems calm we'll moor here until he wakes up again."

"Always trying to show off. One of these days he'll learn his lesson. And he'll finally realize what the rest of us have."

"Honestly captain can be crazy in battle but when it comes to other things he can be so brainless."

"I'm with you on that Zepo. I'd say we should try to help them along but it'd be painful if they find out."

"I can agree with that." The crew jumped about a foot in the air as they hadn't noticed Shyarly there.

"How can someone so big be so sneaky?"

"Look we'll just have to wait for things to take its course. Anyone whose turn is it to make lunch."

"Yours you lazy bum." They each said menacingly.

"Did someone say lunch." The crew laughed as even after all these years Luffy was still Luffy."
