The Pirate King
Chapter 1 – The Voyage Begins
“I leave this straw hat to you…!”
Luffy had just woken up from his short nap after having yet another dream of Shanks, his childhood idol. It was ten years ago on this same day that Luffy had set his eyes on becoming the Pirate King. The Pirate King is the title given to the man who has attained everything the world has to offer. Gold Roger, the former Pirate King, had been executed years back. Before being executed, he told the world that his greatest treasure, the One Piece was waiting to be found on Raftel, the island at the end of the Grand Line. With those words reaching the ears of the people, the great pirate era had begun. Pirates were all sailing towards the Grand Line in search of the treasure but at the same time, the world had begun to change. It was now Luffy’s turn to set sail and begin his journey.
“Luffy..! Don’t be late! We’ve gotten everything ready!”
A calm and soothing voice called out from below. Luffy was on the second floor of the Fuusha Village Bar where he had lived for the past two years.
“Hai, Hai!”
Luffy stretched his arms while yawning with a big grin on his face. He stretched his arms over to the side bed and lifted up a straw hat and placed it firmly on his head.
“I can’t believe he’s heading out! With Luffy, all three of them will bring shame on Fuusha Village!”
A short old man who was sitting next to the bar counter spoke to the two figures standing in front of him. He was drinking a cup of what seemed to look like coffee with one hand while the other was holding his cane.
“Nothing you say will change his mind mayor. He’s finally beginning his journey afterall!”
The calm and soothing voice spoke out again.
“Thanks Makino!”
Luffy had arrived at the bar after changing his clothes. As he entered the hall, there were three people and two of them being female. Makino who called Luffy downstairs seemed to be in her late 20s, a very fat woman holding a large bat, and an old man who appeared to be the mayor of the village.
“You’re late bastard!”
The fat lady holding the bat who was standing next to Makino yelled out. She also had a cigar which wasn’t lit placed in her mouth to intimidate others.
“Cooo…Cooo…”
A Newspaper coo had arrived over the village where it dropped a large bag of newspapers towards the ground.
“It’s about time…!”
The Mayor stood up and walked towards the door like every other morning. He grunted a few words which weren’t really clear as he stepped out.
“Where’s the meat?!?”
Luffy was getting impatient like always as he helped himself to the vacant seat where the mayor sat while grabbing a knife and fork off the table.
“I’ll bring it now Luffy.”
Makino walked off into the kitchen to bring meat for Luffy before he departs while humming a familiar tone Luffy remembered since he had met her. She returned with meat a few minutes later and handed it to Luffy who had begun eating it as soon as he got his hands on them.
“What is the world turning to…?”
The mayor had returned with the newspaper in his hands. His voice was troubled and had a worried look on his face which caught the attention of the two women. Luffy was too busy gulping down the meat. The two women walked towards the mayor wondering what had happened.
“What’s wrong mayor?”
Makino asked in a curious yet excited tone as she gazed at the mayor. Makino had always been interested in pirate related news to hear news from Shanks.
“It looks like the two tailed bijuu was sighted near the reverse mountain here.”
The mayor placed the newspaper on the table close to him and sat down with a sigh.
“A Tailed bijuu?!? Here in the East Blue??”
Dadan was shocked by this news. The East Blue is supposed to be the safest of the four seas and there was no need for a Grand Line Pirate to appear here. Dadan looked at Luffy as he was about to go to the Grand Line as well and the only rumours they knew were that most of the Pirates who went there never returned except those who were exceptionally strong.
“The marines stationed at East Blue are all too weak except for one who has never shown his face to the public. They say he doesn’t show his face because the pirates from East Blue are all too weak or don’t pose a threat. Anyway, by the time the marines got there, the two-tails was long gone.”
The discussion was coming to a close. Luffy got out of his seat and walked towards them giving each a hug.
“I’ll be going now guys. Take care!”
Luffy walked towards the bay with the Mayor and Makino with a few villagers accompanying him. Dadan had to watch from a distance or she would have been chased away by the villagers. Luffy got on a small fishing boat and set sail. A few meters away from the dock, a large silhouette appeared under the boat and suddenly, a crocodile-like sea monster jumped out. The villagers and Makino were frightened as soon as they saw the local sea monster in front of Luffy who was starting at it like It was nothing.
“I’ve been waiting for you!”
Luffy grinned as he pulled his right arm back which stretched and then snapped the stretched arm back towards the local monster. The punch landed straight on its face and was knocked unconscious. All the villagers were amazed to see Luffy take down the sea monster in a single punch. Makino and Dadan had tears in their eyes to see Luffy brimming with confidence as he yelled, “I’M GOING TO BE THE PIRATE KING!”
The small fishing boat now sailed slowly into the horizon and disappeared from sight.
End of Chapter...
