"IM GOING TO BE KING OF THE PIRATES!!!" a boy wearing a strawhat shouted at the top of his lungs. The boy stood atop of a huge rock.

"Luffy get down from there and stop yelling stuff before gramps hears you" shouted another kid.

"Eeehhh, You don't believe me, Art." Luffy accused.

"Luff-"

"I'll show you, I'll become a pirate, " Luffy proclaimed

"Wai-" Art began again.

"I'll surpass Shanks and I'll be-"

"Shut up Luffy! I've been trying to tell you that Gramps is right behind you!" Art exclaimed.

Luffy instantly went pale his eyes slowly began to widen his mouth agape. He slowly turned around as fear began to set in.

"Didn't I feel you that you'll be a marine! This must be that red-haired bastard influence!" Behind Luffy stood a man who was fuming he wore a black suit with a blue button-down and stood at 9'5. "YOU UNGRATEFUL GRANDSON!!!"

[Fist of Love]

"ITAI! ITAI! ITAI!" Hollered Luffy as he gripped his head while rolling around on the ground.

"*sigh* I tried to warn you Luffy" Art said as he shook his head.

"At least I have one grandson with a good head on his shoulder," Garp said with a satisfied grin.

"I'm sorry Art, I shouldn't have said you don't believe in me, " Luffy begins with tears in his eyes "Especially after you said to ignore the bastard of a Gramps and just follow my dreams."

"YOU UNFILIAL BRAT!" Garp yells.

"Damn it Luffy!" Art exclaims.

[Fist of Love] [Fist of Love] [Fist of Love]

"IIIIITTTTTAAAAAIIIII" Art cries out.

Garp grabs both of the kids and starts walking off somewhere.

{In front of the Mountain bandit hideout}

*knock* *knock* *knock*

"Whos the bastard who's knocking on my door?" A voice came from within the shack.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"Alright, Alright, I'm coming you bastard! If it's not something Important I'll kill you-" As soon as the door opened it revealed a tall woman with a rough-looking face and curly orange hair. She had a rounded physique.

"Who are you planning on killing Dadan?" Garp said menacingly.

"GARP-SAN!" Dadan yelled in shock. She quickly composed herself and smiled to the best of her ability but it only came off as creepy, "I'm guessing you came back to take the brat you dropped off, with you."

"No, I have 2 more brats for you to take," Garp said while picking his nose with his pinky.

"Of course you- WHAT! YOU BASTARD!" Dadan exclaimed angrily. "I'm not taking anymore kids I'm not your personal daycare."

"It's either you raise them or you spend your life in prison," Garp says.

"Tch, who are these brats anyways," Dadan asks.

"They're my grandsons, " Garp turned to Luffy and Art, "Greet her."

"" Yo, "" They said at the same time.

"""" WHAT!"""" Dadan and the other bandits yelled.

"You have a grandson?"

"I have two. I'll stop by again when I have time" Garp says as he walks off.

"Hey, we never agreed!" Dadan yelled at his back.

"Huh?" Garb says as he turns around with a dark look on his face.

"Nothing" Dadan squeaks as she backs off.

"Good," Garp says as he walks off.

Spit comes hurtling towards Luffy's and Arts head. Art dodges it while Luffy gets hit right on the cheek.

"What the-," Luffy stares at the spit in his hand. "Is this spit? Who did this? Oí bastard, was this you?" Luffy was pointing at a kid who looked to be 10 years old.

'This must be the kid Gramps was talking about.' Art guessed.

The kid ignored Luffy and just ran off. Luffy chased

after him. Art turned to Dadan and asked, "who's the brat?"

"Oh, him that's Ace and he carries his own weight by hunting animals in the forest. You can clean the house-"

"Hmm" Art simply responded and walked off into the forest.

"Boss they are all gone huh," Mountain Bandit Dogbra said.

{Art POV}

I heard an angry yell from the bandit hideout. I ignored it and kept walking, I wanted to find a good place to train and eat because I refuse to stay with a bunch of dirty mountain bandits. I've always hated criminals I don't know if it's because gramps influences me or the identity of my father.

Monkey D. Dragon, The World's most heinous criminal. It wasn't hard to figure out who our father was I'm surprised no one has figured it out yet, but no one would expect The world's most Heinous Criminal to be the son of the Hero of the Marines.

The bastard abandons his two sons and doesn't come to visit even once. I didn't even see him drop off Luffy one day I just woke up with a brother.

I found a small field perfect for what I had planned. I started by cutting down trees and taking out the nails I 'borrowed' from those dirty bandits.

I heard another angry yell from the bandit hideout. "That's weird, did something happen?" I muttered.

I built a small hut using huge leaves as a roof. This was the best I could do, with the knowledge I picked up from fixing the walls Gramps casually walks through.

I got up and went out to go hunt something for lunch. Not long after looking around, I found the tracks of a rabbit...no, a boar on the ground.

I followed its tracks making sure to stay quiet realizing that the tracks seemed to be recent. I followed its tracks carefully for 20 minutes before finally catching a glimpse of it.

I slowly reached towards my dagger as to not startle it but it soon dawned on me that I didn't have a dagger or any weapon for that matter. I silently cursed at myself. 'I guess I am related to Luffy after all' I thought to myself.

I choose not to retreat, after following it for 20 minutes I had to see it through. So, I grabbed the bag of Nails that were still on me and began to close in on it. As I stood 9 feet away from it I grabbed 3 of the nails in the bag and aimed.

[Special Attack: Nails of truth]

I threw the nails, the first one missed hitting the dirt next to its hoofs. The second hit him on the shoulder (or what a boar would call a shoulder. The third hit 'em in the middle of its brow. I hoped it was deep enough to kill it but it just shook its head and ran at me full speed.

"Tch, I need to train more, " I jumped into the air as it got closer and dove towards it.

[Normal Attack: Hammer Fist]

I punched it digging the nail deeper into its skull. The boar's eyes widened as the life left them and it collapsed.

I quickly took the boar back to my hut.

{Back to the hut}

It took me 30 minutes to run back to the hut. I prepared the boar meat for cooking and set it up so it will slowly cook. With my brother and Gramps's appetite, I learned to cook my own meals. As I waited for it to cook I began my training.

180 pushups (Boulder on Back)

220 sit-ups

130 pullups

200 squats (While carrying boulder)

80 km run (While carrying boulder)

Rest and repeat (x2)

When I finished the first part of the training I lay there exhausted. I then ate the boar meat after resting for a couple of minutes. And repeated the workout.

Drenched in sweat I went to wash in the river I found while looking for the boar. After finishing that I went to look for Luffy and found him underneath a log that seems to have rolled on top of him.

"Hey, what happened Luffy, " I asked Luffy as I lifted the tree off of him.

"I was chasing Ace and he hit a tree and it fell on me, " he said while looking down dejectedly.

'That bastard! Not only did he spit on my brother he bullied him into looking this down. This is Luffy we're talking about he's always happy. I'll show him who he's messing with!'

"But I won't give up. I'll make him my friend!" Luffy proclaimed out of nowhere.

"Why, didn't he not only spit on you but also kick a tree towards you?" I asked genuinely curious.

"He only spit on me it's nothing to get angry over," Luffy said with a grin, "And I'm made out of rubber so it's fine."

Seeing that look on his face I decided to back off. Gramps and I can't fight all of Luffy's battles he's going to have to grow up, especially if he plans to be King of the pirates. I guess I'm going to have to thank shanks for not only losing an arm for Luffy but also allowing Luffy to mature.

I smiled at Luffy. 'This is the same look he has when he talks about becoming Pirate king.'
