Shells Town

After they went on Pearl to set sail. Jack turned towards Augur and asked " Van can you show me your marksmanship, so that i can give you a suitable skill to train in to complement your weakness. "

Van took his gun and aimed at distance where there was a tiny bell hanging on the top of a building in distance could not seen by naked eyes. He shot the bell and it rang, startling the people near the bell.

Van turned towards Jack, he smiled and clapped " Woah you got a good aim Van. "

Van bowed a little and said " It's fate and you also got a good eyesight captain. "

" Hahaha, I need that much to be called a captain. "

Then, Jack took out Rokushiki and Haki manuals and gave them to Van augur.

"You can choose which one's you want to train in and complements your style. "

"Thanks, Captain. I will be taking Soru, Geppou, Kami - E, observation and armament haki. "

"Then let's go back to training island. You can train there till you master them. "

Then Jack steered his ship traveled back to the island where he started his journey from.

(1 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS LATER)

Jack and Van were sparring with each other on the island and surrounding trees were being broken from the shock waves.

Van geppoued in the sky and aimed towards Jack and fired his haki coated bullet. And at the same time Jack activated his observation haki and dodged the bullet with soru, and went near van to punch him. Van activated Kami - E and observation haki and dodged the punch. He sorued and fired again, this time Jack deflected the bullet with haki coated fists and sorued near Van and punched him fast with normal punch. Van was at the end of his stamina after sparring for so long and got hit by Jack's punch.

Jack stopped and said " Let's stop here today you have got enough mastery over your skills to compete with Rear Admirals. We will sail again tomorrow and see if fate let's us meet someone interesting. "

" Yes, let's rest today, captain. "

'I started thinking where should I first meet luffy, should I meet him at Shells town or at Orange town? After thinking some time I decided to meet him at shells town, cause I had decided to take a crew mate at Usopp's town. '

Meanwhile Luffy,

"AAAACHOooo, ... huh who's talking about me behind my back. Well whatever. "

Next morning after waking up I finished my morning routine and loaded the ship with necessities to set sail. I boarded the ship with Augur. I opened the map, unfurled the sails and "Set sail, Yaro domo."

After sailing a few days, we reached Shells

town. After Unboarding, we went to the pub and saw the same anime scene where Helmeppo was talking how he will get Zoro executed, in front of luffy.

I thought that it was a good moment to make an impression. I went in front of Helmeppo and punched him to the ground before luffy could. The nearby Marines had their jaws agape. They were probably thinking that I will get executed by Morgan for punching his son.

I said " Go and tell your captain that he can do whatever he wants I will be waiting for him here. "

Then I turned around, went to the counter and ordered sake for everyone in the bar.

Luffy came to me and said " Yo, Join my crew, I am going to be king of pirates. "

Jack chuckled and said " Sorry, I can't join your crew cause I want to create my own crew. But we can make an alliance, if you want to travel together. "

Luffy looked confused and asked " What is an alliance? "

" Alliance means becoming nakama but with our own separate crews and we will help each other whenever in need. " said Jack.

Luffy said " Ok let's make an alliance, but how do we do that? "

"Let's share sake first. It will be the start of our friendship. " Said Jack.

They shared sake and drank a little then, Jack asked " Who is this pink haired boy? "

Luffy said " Oh, I found him on the pirate ship of a fat woman , he's name is Coby and he is a coward. "

Before Coby could retort Luffy's sentence, Jack said " Nice to meet you, Coby. "

" Nice to meet you too, Jack - San. " said Coby.

Then I asked Luffy " Hey Luffy do you know this Zoro guy that Split headed idiot was talking about? "

Luffy looked confused for a second, then came to realization " Ahhh, I have to save him."

He started running and said " we will meet again Jack. " " Wait for me Luffy san" said Coby.

Jack chuckles at Luffy's antiques and started drinking his sake. Van also started drinking his sake. After waiting for some time Luffy came back with a battered and exhausted looking Zoro.

I asked " Is that green haired guy Zoro? "

" Yeah, Jack meet my first mate, Roronoa Zoro. And Zoro meet ...huh! what was your name again? " said Luffy.

" Nice to meet you, my name is Zoro, first mate of strawhat pirates and santoryuu swordsman. "

" Nice to meet you too, my name's Jhonson D Jack. Luffy's friend and captain of Asura pirates." Said Jack. " And this is my first mate and sniper, Van Augur. "

Jack then ordered food for Zoro and Luffy. Just after they finished eating. Marines came in and said " We are wondering. Are you guys really pirates. "

Luffy said " Yes, I just found my crewmate so that would make us pirates. "

Then the marine said " Even though you are pirates, you saved our town. For that we are grateful. But as you are pirates, as Marines we can't allow you to stay any longer. "

The civilians in the bar started yelling " Hey Marines! what kind of bullshit are you saying? " " Are you kidding me? or have you guys gone nuts!" " Yeah they are our town saviors. "

Luffy just smiled and said " hmm then let's go." and started walking out and rest of us followed.

Then a marine asked Coby " Aren't you with them. "

Coby said " I'm not...not...I'm not with them. "

Then the marine asked Luffy " Wait is he telling the truth? "

Luffy said " I know what this guy used to do. "

"Luffy - San! "

" I don't remember where but he used to be with this fatttt female pirate named albida or something. "

"Stop, don't say anymore. " said Coby

" It was a fat ugly female pirate, this guy spent 2 years there.. "

Coby then punched Luffy yelling " SHUT UP"

Then both started fighting, the marine yelled and stopped the fight " stop, I can't allow you guys to fight. Now I know that you're not his friend. Leave this town Immediately. "

Luffy smiled and walked out.

Coby was thinking " Even till the end I needed their help. I am so damn useless. "

Then he asked the marine " Please let me join the marine, sir. I will even do the chores. Please sir. "

The marine said " Don't think we don't know your past as pirate. But we will let you join seeing your determination. "

"Thanks sir, I will do my best. "

Meanwhile...

" Yo, Luffy nice act at least that will help him a little in joining Marines. Now let's sail to Orange town next. I heard a pirate named Buggy there has a map of grand line. "said Jack

"Yes let's set sail. " said Luffy.

"Let's go on my ship, till you get your own. " said Jack.

We boarded pearl (the name of Jack's ship), then we saw Marines saluting us , Coby said " Thanks for your help Luffy San. I will never forget you for the rest of my life. You too Jack San. "

I waved and said " Take care and fulfill your dream, Coby. "

" We will always be friends, Coby. " said Luffy.

"I will. "

We sailed towards Orange town.

" Grand line here we come."
