A handcuffed man walks with two guards in front of him, Crossing their swords into an "X"
"Any last words king of the pirates.?" The guard said.
"Wealth, Fame, And power. I had everything in this world. I am the king of the pirates, Gold Roger. If anyone wants my treasures he shall seek them out. Yet only the worthy will find them. I left everything in "that" place." The man said.
These last words ignited a flame. That will never stop. The great pirates era has begun.
...
Windmill village is a small seaport village in dawn island. Once upon a time, A pirate ship stopped at the village.
"Hey luffy, What are you doing there at the head of the ship." A man said.
"You will see, You will all see." The kid replied, He took a pocket knife and raised it high in the sky.
"Is he going to show us his swordsmanship.?"A man remarked.
"Since that's a knife, Is it called knifemanship then.?"
"That actually makes sense." A man said.
*ARGH* Luffy scarred his left eye in a straight line.
"YOU IDIOT! QUICKLY, GET HIM BANDAGES." A man said.
"AYE AYE CAPTAIN." The man sprinted, In search of bandages.
...
"It didn't hurt at all." Luffy said.
"You are lucky you can see with that eye." The captain said.
"Shanks, You also have a similar scar and you can see with your eye, What makes you think that i won't be able to." Luffy said, Looking at shanks's left eye, It was scarred in three equal lines, Similar to a claw.
"Because you are an idiot, If you stabbed instead of slashing you would've lost that eye." Shanks said.
"Am i joining your crew then.?" Luffy said.
"No. You can't even swim let alone fight." Shanks said.
"So what if i can't swim? I will be safe if i stay on the ship, Also, I am strong, My punches are similar to pistol bullets."
"Oh wow, really? hey Yassop, Come here." Shanks said.
"Aye Aye captain. What do you need.?"
"Shoot him with your pistol."
"Eh? Why?"
"Luffy here says that his punches are similar to pistol bullets. Lets put it to test, You are going to shoot him, If he cuts the bullet in half using his punch, I will take him in the crew."
*Gulp* "After some thinking, I rather not join your crew." Luffy said.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA. I won the bet." Shanks said.
"Seriously? Here, Take it." Yassop gave a bottle to shanks.
"I told you that he will back off." Shanks said.
"Never going to bet on luffy again." Yassop said. "Coward."
"Oh come on, All this because you lost a bottle. You are such a cheapstake." Luffy said.
"It is not about the bottle."
"We all know that it's about the bottle Yassop." A fat round shaped man said.
"It is not lucky roux."
"Yes it is."
"Ok fine. I admit it."
"You guys are silly." A man said.
"Shut up Ben Beckman." Yassop said.
"Yeah, He lost the argument, He can't reply anymore, HAHAHAHA." Ben beckman laughed it off and took a sip of his drink.
"Hey luffy, Do you want to eat something.?" The bar owner said.
"Ok, Put it on my treasure tab makino." Luffy said.
"What kind of treasure are you going to pay this bill with.?" Shanks said.
"The one piece." Luffy replied.
"Huh?" The whole bar was shocked hearing what luffy said.
"So you are telling me, That you want to find the biggest treasure in the world to pay the bills.?" Shanks said.
"Yeah."
"......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, He wants to get the one piece. To pay the bills. BUHA, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
*BAM* Someone broke the bar's door with his leg, entering the place with a prideful walk.
"So those are pirates. They look like idiots." The man said, His men were walking behind him, Saying nothing at all.
"We are bandits, We want ten barrels." The man put his hand on the counter.
"Sorry, We are out. The men bought everything we had." Makino said.
"I am really sorry, It looks like we drank a lot, You can take the last bottle for free." Shanks said.
"Do you know who i am? I am higuma the bear, My head is worth 8 million belies, Dweeb." *Slash.* Higuma broke the bottle with a swing of his sword.

"See you later losers. Lets get out guys." Higuma walked out and his men followed him.
"8 million? This guy is funny." Lucky roux said.
"Oh my god, I am so scared. He's got an 8 million beli bounty." Yassop said
"Guys, stop saying things like that. He will beat you to death, He's got an 8 million beli bounty." Ben beckman said,
"HAHAHAHAHAHA." Shanks laughed. "Huh.?"
"What happened captain.?" Ben beckman said.
"Look at the treasure chest. It's empty!" Shanks said.
"EMPTY?!"
"What are you talking about guys." Luffy said.
"Hey luffy, Did you see the fruit inside of that treasure chest."
"Yeah, Why are you asking? It doesn't even taste that good."
"He.....Ate it." Shanks said.
"You must be kidding, This fruit's worth a fortune, What are you doing Yassop.?" Lucky roux said.
"Nothing, I will just let luffy meet my mother."
"Isn't your mother dead.?" Lucky roux said.
"Exactly!" Yassop replied. He loaded his gun and started aiming.
"THIS FRUIT WAS WORTH OVER 10 BILLION BELLIES YOU BASTARD." Yassop screamed at luffy.
"Calm down yassop, Just calm down." Ben beckman said.
"Do you know what the word 10 billion bellies means.?"
"You have a point. But still, He is just a kid. He didn't know." Ben beckman stood in front of yassop.
"Ok fine, But we have to at least sell his kidney in return."
"10 billion is nothing, When i get the one piece i will pay it all." Luffy said.
"You better get the one piece and pay it or i am killing you. Also, How do you think that you are going to get the one piece.?" Yassop shouted.
"I will make my own crew." Luffy said.
"So you think that you will reach the one piece before me.?" Shanks said.
"Yes."
"Are you sure.?"
"Yes."
"If you reach the one piece i will beg to join your crew."
"Bet. That was my plan anyway."
months passed by, While shanks and his crew were roaming out in the seas, Luffy was training and abusing his treasure tab to it's maximum efficiency.
"Hey luffy. Where are you.? I have guests." An old man said.
"Oh, Hi gramps. How are you doing." Luffy said.
"I am fine. Say welcome to your uncles. This is Sakazuki, This is Kuzan, And this is borcaleno. ("My name is borsalino old man.") They are the three admirals of the navy." The old man said.
"Hi, I am luffy."
"Hello kid, Do you like justice.?" Sakazuki said.
"I like justice, But i like freedom the most."
"Freedom huh?"
"Hey kids, Show him some of your skills." The old man said.
"As you wish old man Garp." Kuzan said.
Kuzan created an ice shard and fired it to the nearest tree, Cutting it in half.
"Oh, That's cool." Luffy said.
Sakazuki's right hand became covered in magma. "You see this, I ate a supernatural fruit called the magma-magma fruit, I can turn any part of my body into magma. Not everyone is able to have a power like this." Sakazuki said.
"That's amazing, I also have one of those fruits." "Watch me." Luffy said. "Rubber Rubber...Pistol." Luffy stretched his arm then released it, But his arm falled mid way.
"Oh, You also have a devil fruit. But your control of it is not that good. I guess i can teach you a thing or two." Sakazuki said
...
"It's finally working, Luffy is sitting with the marines." Garp said, Sitting on his office desk.
"You look really happy old man. What's the deal." Kuzan entered the office.
"Nothing, I am just happy for no reason."
"If you say so...Anyway, A pirate that has 230 million bounty was ambushed by rear admiral strawberry and died out of wounds. His name is fisher tiger."
"Only 230 million.? I heard that he invaded the mary geoise and freed slaves. It's weird that he didn't have a bounty of 6 billion, These celestial dragons are high tempered and won't let it go easily. What happened.?"
"I don't know either. It just feels weird."
"Anywho. Did you see the news.? Victoria Cindry almost died after falling off the stage but the genius doctor hogback saved her."
"Can you stop talking about these pointless topics, I am not working, So stop telling me about work." Garp said.
...
The red hair pirates ship stopped at the seaport again. After another successful trip.
"We should celebrate." Shanks said.
"Of course." Lucky roux replied.
The crew walked to makino's bar. They saw a surprise.
"Oh, Aren't you the 8 million beli bounty guy.?" Ben beckman said.
"Who are you.?" Higuma said.
"There are no kids here, I guess it's the perfect time to show, What a real dangerous crew can do." Shanks said. His eyes bursted with energy, Higuma and his crew of bandits immediately falled to the ground, Unable to handle the pressure.
Somewhere on a nearby mountain.
"This, This can't be true. A conqueror's clash happening on an island in the east blue." Kuzan said.
"We should check and see who it is. Borcaleno use your light light fruit to see who is fighting."
"It's borsalino senior Sakazuki." Borsalino turned to a ray of light and flied quickly to the bar.
"Good Grief. What is happening.?" Borsalino said.
"Nothing sir. These group of bandits just tried to attack us." Shanks said.
"You look familiar. Anywho, I will take them to the headquarters and act like nothing happened, I was just asked to investigate and no more."
"Have a good day sir." Shanks crew said.
...
Shanks and his crew were being getting ready to sail while sitting with luffy.
"And that's how an admiral ran away from me." Shanks said to luffy.
"AMAZING! You got really strong since last time."
"Wanna see my bounty poster.?"
"Yes."
"Don't say the number outloud. Keep it a secret."
"Ok shanks......So that's why you were laughing at that guy for having an 8 million bounty."
"Exactly, He just wasnt even close to my level....Hey luffy. "What.?" "We are going to leave this island now and won't comeback again. We might never meet each other again. But if we do, Give me back my strawhat."
"What strawhat? I don't have o-" Shanks took off his strawhat that had a red strip and put it over luffy's head.
"Ok i promise you. I will give you back this strawhat." Luffy smiled.
"See you soon luffy."
"You will see me on wanted posters when i surpass your bounty."
Shanks and his crew took their ship, And waved to luffy as they set sail north, Further and further into the horizon.
...
10 years later.
"He finally started chasing his dream." Makino said.
Luffy took a dinghy and travelled west .
"Oh hello mr. sea king. You want a taste of my punch." Luffy stood with his small dinghy in front of a giant fish with red eyes.
Luffy opened his palms and stretched his arms far back that it reached the shore of his village. "Rubber Rubber...Bazooka." He released his hands and they came back in enormous speed, Hitting the sea king and launching him away.
"According to this map, The closest city is called shells town and it has a marine base. What better place to find pirates other than marine base jail. Shells town, I am coming." Luffy smiled.
"I wonder what will we find? This is going to be so much fun!"
"The city is not that far, I can get there in one empowered jump....But i don't want to lose my dinghy. I guess I just have to stay here." Luffy said.
"I need crewmates. Will 10 be enough, I kind of want 12. Just feels like the correct number. Are snipers the same as gunners? I think not. Yeah, I need one sniper and one gunner."
"Finally, I am on the seashore. Let me tie this dinghy tightly. Ok, lets go." "There is no better place to know information than the local bar."
Luffy entered the bar, It looked bigger on the inside compared to the outside.
"Hey bartender, Tell me. Do you know strong people." Luffy said, He took less than a handful of belies and gave it to the bartender.
"Of course i know. See that guy sitting alone right there. His name is Jaggy. He is a really strong guy, His father was on the ship of Gold Roger, The king of the pirates." The bartender pointed at a deep tanned guy with blue hair and light blue eyes, His canines looked really sharp.
"What weapon does he use.?" Luffy asked
"Daggers."
"Cool."
Luffy walked up to the table the guy was sitting at.
"Hey, Are you Jaggy.?" Luffy said,
"Yeah, Why are you asking.?"
"I am Monkey D. Luffy, The guy that's going to become king of the pirates. Want to join my crew."
"No."
"Why? It's going to be a great adventure."
"I only care about money. Wealth, Wealth. And nothing but wealth. I am a mercenary."
"Ok."
Luffy walked away in failure, Returning to the bartender.
"Do you know other strong people." Luffy said.
The bartender beckoned, Giving the luffy the sign to pay him more.
"Here, Take it."
"If you are crazy enough to do it, There is a wanderer swordsman that got captured and is now locked in the marine base called roronoa zoro. He's probably stronger than Jaggy."
"Hmm, Monkey D Luffy. Seems like an interesting person." Jaggy said.
