"Wait up! Ace! Sabo!" a small girl ran through the woods in pursuit of her two brothers. Her sandals hit the ground hard and her straw hat blew in the wind.

"Hurry up Luffy!" Ace yelled, speeding up.

"Ace, you could be a bit nicer to Lu-chan." Sabo said, catching up.

"No way." Ace laughed.

"Gum Gum No! Grappling hook!" Luffy's had shot and grabbed Ace and Sabo, she jumped and shot herself forward. After a brief tumble she started running again. "Ha! Take that!" She yelled dancing in front of the tree house. Ace and Sabo huffed.

"Yeah, you won." Ace grumbled.

"Good job Lu-chan." Sabo smiled.

"Damn straight I won! You can't beat the king!" She laughed, securing her hat on her head. Ace rolled his eyes.

"Luffy! You can't be a king. Your a girl!" He reminded her.

"Shut up! The Pirate King can do whatever she wants!" Luffy shouted.

"LUFFY!" A voice bellowed.

The three siblings flinched.

"Oh no." Sabo said.

"You did it this time Luffy." Ace warned her.

"Hey! You'll get in trouble too!" Luffy hissed. They all turned and saw Garp standing tall with his arms crossed.

"Your still going on about that!? I told you three you'll all be Marines!" He yelled.

"No!" Luffy shouted. Garp punched the tree and Luffy fell down and got punched. "Ow!" Luffy cried.

"Hey! Don't hit Luffy!" Ace yelled. Earning himself a punch too.

"Ace!" Sabo yelled before he was punched. The three kids fell unconscious.

Luffy, Ace and Sabo woke up on a ship. A Marine ship. They screamed in unison.

"What happened?" Sabo asked.

"Where are we!" Luffy squealed.

"Would you two shut up!" Ace hissed. "Were getting out of here, wherever we are." He promised. "Now follow my lead." Luffy and Sabo nodded. The trio burst out of the room. Some soldiers on the boat were shocked when the kids started beating them up, one by one. Untill they were stopped by Garp.

"You three! Come here now!" He yelled the kids looked at each other. And followed him to his office.

Ace was the first to speak.

"What's going on!?" he yelled.

"Yeah! Why are we on a marine ship!" Sabo yelled. Luffy couldn't understand what was going on. But she was angry. Garp handed her a piece of paper.

"You will be in Morgans division." Garp said. Then, giving Ace a paper.

"You will be in Smokers division." then he gave a paper to Sabo.

"And your going to be in Moore's division."

"Your separating us!?" Luffy exclaimed. Garp nodded.

"I didn't want to do this, but you three forced my hand. I said you would be marines, and that's what you'll be." Garp pressed a button. "Now, Luffy's boat is here." two marines came in and grabbed Luffy by each of her arms.

"Hey!" She yelled. Ace and Sabo stood up only to be held back down by Garp.

"It's for your own good. I'll come when your fully trained Luffy." Garp said. Luffy started kicking.

"I don't wanna be a stupid Marine!" she yelled. "Let me go!" knocking her hat off her head.

Garp, while holding Ace and Sabo, brought them out to the deck where they saw another boat with a mean looking man with an axe for a hand. The Marines struggled trying to get Luffy onto the ship.

"Wait. You can't be serious! Luffy? Train under that guy!?" Ace shouted, not liking the feeling he was getting from the man.

"She'll be fine." Garp assured the boys who watched the man grab their little sister's hand with his gloved hand.

"This is my new solider?" He asked lifting her up. Luffy kicked him.

"Put me down! Let me go!" she yelled. The bridge connecting the ships pulled back.

"Raise the anchor!" Morgan yelled.

"Yes sir!" Three Marines recited, raising the anchor.

"Don't worry Garp. I'll take care of this." He said dropping Luffy onto the deck. She scrambled to her feet and looked over the edge of the boat.

"Ace! Sabo!" She yelled

"Don't worry Luffy! We'll be there soon! Just go with it!" Ace yelled. Luffy wiped tears from the corner of her eyes.

"Kay!" She yelled back. She looked at Morgan, then at the ship that slowly faded away. Taking her far away from her brothers.

"Get this girl a uniform." Morgan demanded.

"Um. Morgan-san?" Luffy muttered.

"That's Captain Morgan, what is it girl?" He growled.

"I can keep my hat right?" she asked, pulling her hat onto her head. Morgan turned away from her.

"Sure kid." He said before leaving her alone.

Luffy started her training right when they got to Dawn Island. She became a solider after Morgan saw her ability to take down most of the other soldiers. But her training was incomplete. The soldiers eyed her curiously as she stood in line with the rest of them, practicing her punches and kicks, that stretched.

Back in her shared room Luffy marked her calender. For her seventeenth birthday. She made no move to get close to any of the other marines. None of the marines favored her anyway. She gained the love of the villagers though. She kept them safe from other Marines who thought they could do whatever.

Over the next couple of years, Luffy trained, she got stronger. She even trained on her own. She was stronger than Morgan for sure. Luffy returned to her room after a long day of training and patrolling. She grinned and put an x on today's date.

"I'm Seventeen!" Luffy grinned. She secured her precious straw hat onto her head. Before falling asleep. Waiting till morning to make a plan of escape.

This is where our story begins.
