[Chapter Length: 1818 Words.]
Monkey D. Luffy's POV
Aboard a commercial ship, East Blue.
...
...
"I was right to be sure I would meet you on this wonderful day! So it's you! The woman named Alvida, who claims to be the most beautiful woman in this whole sea, isn't it?" He said with a big smile, not caring that he was surrounded by 50 pirates and many civilian bodies on the ground.
...
...
Luffy smiled at her provocatively, making her blush even more. She wondered if she was seeing things or if this handsome man seemed genuinely interested in her?
Koby also noticed Luffy's genuine interest in his captain and stood there stunned, feeling like he wanted to vomit. Koby wondered if this man had some problem with the opposite sex or was blind, as he seemed to be flirting with a terrible, fat, and ugly woman like Alvida.
"Is this guy blind? He must have some sort of mental issue or something!?" Koby exclaimed as he tried to make sense of the situation before him.
"I-I am, Captain A-Alvida!" Koby wanted to die after hearing his captain stammering like a love-stricken maiden at this moment.
"B-But who are you?" She asked for his name, and Luffy smiled at her, looking into her eyes with a certain spark.
"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will conquer all the seas in this world!" His voice was controlled, but everyone heard it in shock.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Silence fell over the place.
"!"
Suddenly, all the pirates burst into laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"Did you hear that?!"
"He'll conquer all the seas? Who does he think he is?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"That was funny. What a strange guy. I heard something that brightened my day out here at the end of the world..."
"I agree with you, HAHAHAHAHA!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
While all 50 pirates laughed at Luffy's bold words, Koby was horrified by the statement. Surprisingly, Alvida remained calm in the face of these words, as she stared at the handsome man full of confidence. She was blushing without anyone noticing.
Luffy, on the other hand, remained calm despite the mockery and confidently smiled at Alvida.
"Tell me, my lady, what is your dream?" Luffy suddenly asked her, which made her surprised by the question and thoughtful.
"Me? I haven't thought about it yet... I-I, maybe... maybe I want to marry a handsome husband and have a family with many children..." She stammered at first but timidly continued with a red face.
Her response made everyone stop laughing and look at her strangely, half of them wide-eyed, the other half wondering if she had been replaced by someone else. Koby was almost vomiting blood at this moment.
"What's happening here? We were just informed that we were robbed right under our noses, and now Alvida, who moments ago wanted to find the thief and punish anyone for their incompetence, is now talking like a teenage girl in love!" Koby wanted to faint at this moment; it was too much for him to absorb, refusing to accept the reality before his eyes.
"That's a very noble dream, to live in peace with your family is a very good thing," Luffy had a moment of reflection, looking out to the horizon, and suddenly his eyes returned to Alvida, who was blushing with emotion.
"My lady, I can say that when I first saw you, I was certain that I had found my soulmate." The man said with a seductive smile, making Alvida, with her 200 kilos, open her eyes in surprise and quickly turn away in embarrassment, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Everyone, everyone, Koby, the pirates, and even the prisoners who were tied up by the pirates, fell to the ground at this moment. Just a short while ago, their captain was breaking their bones over stolen treasures, and now she was acting like a girl seeing her first crush, while the man in front of her clearly had some vision or mental problems because every time he spoke, it only fueled this madness.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!!!!" They all exclaimed while wanting to vomit blood.
"Are you blind?" Suddenly, the pink-haired boy, who was vomiting blood, shouted and quickly closed his mouth, realizing he had spoken loud enough for everyone to hear.
But to his surprise, this man named Luffy smiled and walked toward a stunned Alvida with his actions and words.
"A boy like you shouldn't meddle in the love between two people," the man said calmly, once again causing everyone to fall to the ground with dumbfounded expressions.
"Yes, Koby-kun, you should mind your own business while your dear boss talks to this wonderful knight!" Alvida spoke in a tone she had never used before. She seemed totally in love now.
'Koby-kun?' Koby vomited much more blood at the sight of Alvida, who had always treated him worse than a dog on her ship, now acting all sweet in front of this crazy man, who clearly had some vision problems.
The man approached Alvida with the woman completely embarrassed and submissive at this moment. He raised his arm and lightly caressed her chin, making Alvida blush like a tomato.
"Wait, Mr. Luffy, we can't rush things like this, maybe we can get to know each other first..." She said timidly. No one said anything, as it was too much for their brains to comprehend and process in all these scenes; they seemed mentally broken.
"I know, my love, but I must say some things for our future together." Luffy began.
"Our future together?" She exclaimed with a touch of passion.
"First, you're not the most beautiful woman in these seas. You're quite ugly, actually." He said calmly.
This shocked Alvida, who realized she couldn't feel the ground beneath her anymore. The others remained silent; they were already broken and couldn't handle any more surprises. Otherwise, they would all be vomiting blood along with Koby.
[Author's note: They're not actually vomiting blood, I know this is a Chinese idiom, but I can't think of a more hardcore term to describe the situation.]
Luffy continued speaking, while Alvida was almost in tears.
"But I don't deny that you're my soulmate, and I know you'll become the most beautiful woman in East Blue. I have no doubt about that." He flashed a seductive smile.
Alvida was stunned as she looked at him emotionally once again.
"Really? Do you believe I can be beautiful?" Alvida couldn't help but ask, excited after that last shock.
"I have no doubt about that, my love. That's your true dream, and I believe in you..." Luffy said calmly.
"But you'll have to achieve that dream before we can finally be together," he said.
"Wait! Are you saying you're leaving, and we can't be together now?" She exclaimed alarmingly.
Luffy calmly took her hand and said, "I know it's difficult, but it's not the time for us to be together yet. But soon we will meet, and you will follow me for the rest of our lives, my beautiful Alvida, I'm sure of that." He spoke seriously, looking into her eyes.
"Is that true?" She couldn't help but ask again, a bit lost.
"Yes, you will become a beautiful woman soon and will be able to find me at that time. As a demonstration of my confidence in you..." Luffy suddenly raised his hand and clenched his fist in front of her.
"My grandfather taught me the best way to show love to someone. Your name says it all." Alvida heard all this paralyzed as she saw Luffy pull his fist back and prepare to strike her, but before she could say anything, it was already too late.
"Your name is the Fists of Love! This is my demonstration of the love I feel for you." Luffy said and punched Alvida in the stomach before she could react.
"WHAT?" She only managed to express herself before feeling her world shatter.
[Moa Moa no Mi: Strength, apply 10 times!]
Luffy unleashed the power of the Moa Moa no Mi.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM
With the strength of his fist increased tenfold, coupled with his monstrous body, this impact exploded Alvida, and everything in the space where she stood was destroyed. Koby, who was closest, flew off the ship and into the water like a rocket.
As for Alvida, no one could see her in the next moment, as the force was so strong that she was in front of Luffy one moment and disappeared in the next, with the entire ground being destroyed. No one could even see the enormous woman flying with such force.
"What the heck is happening here!!!!" A collective scream was heard with their comical faces.
'I think I might have overdone it a bit...' Luffy said as he looked at his fist while opening and closing it.
'Either way, I know she'll be fine, I just hope I threw her in the same direction as Luffy did in the original and that she can find that slippery fruit.' I sighed and looked at everyone, who were now looking at me as if they were seeing a terrible monster.
"You! What are you waiting for? Your captain just flew in that direction with one of my Fists of Love; go rescue her now!" I growled at them.
"How can that be called a Fist of Love!?" They exclaimed, but then they ran to the other ship to set sail after their captain.
Meanwhile, a young boy with pink hair climbed onto the commercial ship after emerging from the sea.
He hesitated about whether he should return to the pirate ship or not, seeing that everyone was heading to rescue Alvida.
"Hey, kid. I'm sure you can help me find the location of Shell City!" I asked him, pulling him out of his conflicting thoughts.
"What? How could I help you?" He asked suspiciously.
"By taking me there, of course. If you want to go back to that pirate ship, it's your problem." I simply said, ignoring the blood-vomiting from him shortly after those words.
Ignoring the thanks of the other survivors on the commercial ship, as Luffy wanted to get to a beach quickly, he and Koby took a boat from the ship and headed to the Shell Town, where Zoro should be imprisoned at the moment.
In the meantime, Luffy noticed but ignored the small boat with an orange-haired woman heading in the opposite direction with some treasure bags as he was sailing with Koby.
"We'll meet again, Nami," Luffy murmured to himself, not looking back at the girl on the other side.
"Did you say something, Mr. Luffy?" Koby asked a little cautiously.
"It's nothing, just keep rowing..." Luffy said lazily.
Thus, a timid pink-haired boy and a man who looked more like a thug set off for Shells Town.
