A few weeks ago, Luffy had died while under operation by a member of the worst generation, Trafalgar Law, however by pure force of will, Luffy was able to be resuscitated. His devil fruit was gone and all that was left was his own resolve. He failed against Aokiji before water seven, Kizaru in Sabaody, Magellan in Impel down and finally he failed against Akainu in Marineford. Luffy had enough of his own weakness and promised to become the most powerful man in the world.
Rayleigh had arrived in the Amazon Lily and proposed a plan to a more mature Luffy that led them to deliver a grandiose ceremony on Marineford after the war of the best. All so they could display a hidden message towards his crew, that they instead of meeting in three days, they would meet in two years. Luffy in the meantime had lost control of his muscle strength and killed any marines that dared to attack him and intimidate all the rest. To show the world that a new grim Luffy was around somewhere, hidden.
days later, upon the calm belt aboard the Kuja's ship.
"Are leaving, Jimbei?" Luffy asked.
"Unfortunately, with Whitebeard's death, pirates will start to get bold and try to attack the Ryugu Kingdom again. Luffy-kun I feel sure that a day will come where I will lend you my strength yet again… at any rate, two years from now let us meet again in Fishman island! I will be looking forward to the day where I'll meet your crew!"
Jimbei grinned on top of a whale with white spots, in all honesty, he didn't want to depart, in just a few days on the ship Luffy quickly became one of his best friends. The bond itself was almost comparable to what he had with Fisher Tiger and the royal family, it was if they were almost brothers, certainly much closer than his early relationship with Arlong.

They traveled to a place called Ruskaina.
"This island is exactly what we need…! Known as the forty-eight seasons, it is a harsh land where the seasons change with each week that comes by." Rayleigh said, Luffy drank his every word like a man starved for knowledge.
"Luffy! We swear… each and every day we will visit this island to bring you provisions from Amazon Lily!" she said with a glowing expression.
"Sorry Hancock… I need to train to become strong enough for those I care about, I can't have you spoiling me like that." He looked towards her with a kind expression. "I want to become strong enough to protect you too!"
She felt embarrassed by his declaration and wondered how far she could take her relationship with him. "B—But of course! And … And that was the hundredth time you called us by our name! Is this what they call 'Engagement'?!"
"It is nyot… and didn't you say that you were married a few days ago!?" the old grandma escorted the gorgon sisters and the two men.
Luffy smiled at the Empress antics, a caring look was in his eyes, in his mind he did not objected to having a romantic relationship with her, however he knew he had feelings for other women in his life as well, Hancock needed to understand that if she wanted more than flirting with him.
"Hancock, we cannot have you spoiling the boy, while Luffy-kun's training is underway, none of the women are to enter this place." Rayleigh spoke seriously.
Hancock grabbed his nose pinching it painfully. "And what right have you to decide such things, Rayleigh!?" Boa asked a demonic look came over her still stunning face.
Man, women are scary. Luffy was comparing her to some moments he had with Nami, even if some of those times he deserved it.
"Well, master, why don't we come to a compromise? What about this, the Kuja pirates can visit us every month… being alone on this island without company is lonely and I want to know more about Hancock and her crew," He gave two reasons, the first one Rayleigh could see was flimsy at best, the second was the real reason, Luffy genuinely wanted to know the women of Amazon Lily better.
"Well… ok," was Rayleigh response after some grueling moments, two sets of hopeful eyes were too much for the 'Dark King'.
Now both Luffy and Hancock were happy.
XOX
Later, the Kuja pirates left the two here alone, two men in a large uninhabited jungle, learning to survive here was crucial for a man without his devil fruit powers.
"Now then… we are the only humans left on this island—" Rayleigh showed the exotic environment, it had many strange flora and fauna, some were colossal. "They say that long ago there was a great civilization here… But it perished… here in this island, the law of the strong holds true."
"I smell adventure…!" Luffy was excited.
"My, this island is home to terrible beasts, more than we can hope to count, many of them are too powerful to your current state… , I would say five-hundred or more… if you do not train hard you will never sleep safely at night." Rayleigh stroked his beard.
"Huh... how can you know all of this?"
"How huh? It is a power that I intend to teach you… the power is known as Haki!"
A rustling sound as a great elephant came charging in behind Ray.
Luffy made no motions to attack it, it would fail because that beast was stronger than him, he knew this tidbit of information unconsciously.
Instead, he sat on the ground with a patient expression and closed eyes.
Rayleigh smiled at his maturity and patience; Luffy would be a great student indeed. "Listen closely, Haki is a power that exists within every living creature… Presence, Spirit, Aura, it is no different from these well-known concepts, however many never notice they possess it and live their existences in ignorance, others try and train their whole lives to never grasp it. To have no doubts, to have an unbreakable will, that is the true strength you need! Observe me, Haki can come in two different paths."
The elephant wound up his snout for an attack that could have destroyed a whole building with its power.
It attacked, completely missing Rayleigh.
"This is known simply as observation, to feel an enemy presence in an elevated degree, to grasp their numbers, to see hidden or invisible enemies, to spot weaknesses, read their movements and more." Rayleigh dodged every attack, Luffy's eyes following his every movement, all the while double tasking… remembering Enel and the Snake sisters.
"In the sky isles, this ability is called 'Mantra'..." the old man finished explaining the first path.
"...Next, we have what's simply known as armament… it is somewhat like wearing an invisible suit of armor." The elephant tried to stomp Ray however it was stopped by a hand, in that moment the elephant was pushed several meters from the ground and fell nearby, Luffy who was rapt with attention was shocked, if he deduced correctly —An understanding look came upon his face, he remembered the sumo-guy and his grandpa.
"I see… you caught on to it, yes an important use is that with this path we can bring harm to devil fruit users, with it, even those near invincible logia users can be damaged!" Ray explained.
"That's how you could touch Kizaru!"
Ray then explained more applications of this type of Haki, like the Kuja arrows who were harder than steel.
"Those two are the main types of Haki, however to a select few there is a third type that is available…"
The elephant jumped from the ground and tried one last attack, however with just one look from the Dark King, the beast completely fainted, it's huge body fell to the ground.
"This is the ability to overpower and conquer someone's will, the Haki of supreme king… it often appears in people who made a big name for themselves on a global scale — it is unique in that it cannot be trained, only controlled, it is the user's own ambition or will — only by personal growth this ability can be strengthened, you have already shown inclination towards this type, but with your recent growth of character, this ability needs to be brought under control. I dare not bring you into civilization lest you accidentally let it out at random times… I can predict that this one is already very strong within you."
Luffy nodded, understanding what Ray meant, in these past few days after the war he had mentally grown.
They found a camp and started eating food, Luffy noticed the night was cold.
"Ordinarily, training Haki would take much longer, but I've witnessed your prodigious talent, I will ground you on the basics first… most people develop a bias to one type but this makes them limited, it is best if you gain skill in all three you have the potential for it it will make you more versatile."
"Got it."
"The second thing we will work on is your education…" he grabbed a huge sack… reaching inside grabbing a book of one thousand he had brought… "You wished to be smarter did you not, I will not be an easy master, got it Luffy-kun?"
Luffy nodded, he was absolutely determined to see this through. He slept through the night while Rayleigh took to guarding their camp and looking at the boy fondly.
They reached a giant white tree at dawn.
"You said this spot is the safest on the island right…?"
"Correct," Rayleigh organized the books close to the white tree.
Luffy picked his hat and left it hanging on a nearby rock, the Vivre card was visible through the lace.
"Let's go…!" he grabbed Rayleigh and rushed through the forest.
XOX
As time passed Luffy noticed how Ray was such a hard taskmaster, He would wake up every morning at five in the morning by the insistence of the old man, they would go to the white tree and spent two hours studying subjects like biology, math, politics, geography, and tactics.
Afterwards Rayleigh would chase him off from his safe spot, he alone would have to hunt his breakfast, the island was incredibly large, it was so easy to get lost in it, and it had some monsters that would destroy Luffy, however Ray did not care, the early mornings were filled with losing fights against the animals that he wanted to eat.
Luffy had to quickly adapt to the law of the jungle, at this time he was just a bottom-feeder, he could not enjoy his meat so he would stick to fruits and other vegetables — coincidentally this is where he discovered his near immunity to poison after fighting Magellan. Eventually by late morning Ray would nonchalantly show up near him, he would give instructions on using Haki… then he would unleash various beasts on him to train what he had just learned, it was harsh getting overwhelmed from the various beast, but it was perfect to stimulate his senses and increase his physical strength.
After the beat down, lunchtime arrived... again he had to hunt his own food, even with some serious injuries from the morning — Luffy noticed that he now healed extremely fast, overwhelmingly fast, perhaps it was one of Ivankov's hormones or some other reason he wasn't remembering…? He did not know — by early afternoon Ray would appear again, attacking Luffy hand-to-hand and mercilessly beating him to a pulp... this was his martial arts training… he was a firm believer in kinesthetic learning… Luffy just thought he was crazy.
By mid Afternoon Rayleigh would sick more monsters for Luffy to fight while explaining more about Haki… even though he would be extremely injured at this point… After fighting more monsters trying to grasp the basics of Haki, by late afternoon he would be exhausted and riddled with injuries however even then he wasn't allowed to rest, he would have to exercise his body, push-ups, squats, running, however he had to carry a huge boulder on his back and the size of it increased daily.
Early evening was again, hunting for food alone, however the biggest predators were awake at night, he always needed to be careful in the evening, and he could not rely on his vision, it was… very dark and lonely in Ruskaina… every time he encountered an apex predator it was a chase of life and death in the dark… it humbled him very much.
Ray told him he would never be subtle, but maybe this would teach him some degree of stealth… after dinner he would return to the tree for more studying with Rayleigh, then late night they would camp outside the safe zone, with Ray telling him stories of his life, of his exploits when he was a pirate, it was the best part of the day for Luffy… then he and Ray would sleep… even if an enemy would attack Ray would just observe, it was up to Luffy to wake up and run the animal out of the camp, it was a lesson to teach him to be alert at all times, even when he was sleeping, by morning his body had healed itself completely, it was a small mystery he had yet to discover.
This was Luffy's daily schedule.
However, Luffy was not a child by any stretch of the imagination, he endured it without a pip — well, he cursed the old man's insanity in his mind — and adapted to the new routine quickly, his prodigious talent shined through.
By the end of the first week, he could imbue parts of his body with armament ten percentof the time, now he could finally start to grasp it, the same for observation, now he could occasionally feel prey nearby, and sometimes dodge fast attacks that would normally hit him, he had a good grasp of the basic sciences and Ray included a bit of history in his lessons.
The martial arts bit was the most interesting. Ray had mastered most arts in the world, Luffy would copy the movements Ray did in their sparring matches, burning the movements into his memory and muscles, and surprisingly by the end of the week he mastered his first martial art, he was proud, however the next day Rayleigh would switch to a style that perfectly countered the one that he learned, forcing him to copy Ray again.
The exercising was the most rewarding part, he could feel himself growing stronger, faster… before he relied on boosts from his Devil fruit, now he could achieve the strength of gear 3rd and the speed of gear 2nd with just improving himself. After a few days, he raised his pain tolerance, noticing that most if not all wounds healed after a night of sleep, he started being even more reckless, something that would have cost his life on the battlefield now helped him, it was okay in his eyes, looking back at his grandpa, being reckless was in his blood.
After another week, he could use armament half the time, and avoid most attacks, he now started sensing animals nearby, he could somewhat gauge their strength, which made him realize he had more talent for observation than armament, which was not to say that he was bad at armament, he had made great strides in that type as well.
He was finally happy, he was able to hunt and kill lesser animals for food, however the big herbivores and predators were still out, he had crammed many subjects into his brain while he devoured the books Rayleigh brought, he had another style mastered.
but Ray was a sadist and switched the training again, the next week, he would have to hunt and face those monsters while blindfolded, putting most of his progress to zero, he had to rely on his senses, instinct, and Haki to survive, Ray said he had great eyes, so much so that Luffy would ignore other senses.
Another two weeks have passed, and finally a day off, it was the day the Kujas come here, it was a truly blessed day, he could spend the day on the ship without his blindfold on, he would talk for hours with the Gorgon sisters, getting to know them better, however he spent the most time with Hancock, they really hit off fast, perhaps it was because they were both capable of supreme king's Haki?
After the first month, he could basically hunt all herbivores in the island and small predators, he finally learned how to swim, and was able to hunt down some fish underwater, carefully evading the sea kings, he wasn't strong enough for them, while he could take sea creatures early on, the ones that lived here in the calm belt were far stronger.
He could control armament now to appear in various parts of his body, and his observation was growing strong, he could sense everyone in the island, their strength and he could evade all of their attacks now, he had mastered the basic observation, now it was up to him to improve this area himself, Ray said to branch out.
He did not need the blindfold any longer, the less observation training made him have more time to focus on his personal training, in the next few months he would collect himself, remember, and imitate those Cipher pol guys.
Starting with that jumping on air skill, as it was perhaps the most useful, he had to train his legs to reach that level, but he would reach it.
In the afternoon after the sparring, Ray would bring a crate of Cannonballs he got from the Kuja, and then he would ask Luffy to stand still and not dodge, then he would throw the cannonball with armament right in Luffy's face, blowing the boy across the clearing, after Luffy stood up, body riddled with injuries and shrapnel — Rayleigh explained this was a training so he could strengthen his own armament, and so that he could use it to block out the damage from the impact by applying armament to different parts of his body with precision dexterity and quickness, he should have said that first, he did not even protect himself, crazy old man.
Months passed like this with him mastering the two types, then moving to control the third, now nobody aside from his master could challenge him on this island, no monster or predator, that meant that the day passed with them doing death matches for days on end, so he could train his stamina.
Later, he noticed something, his body had grown considerably, when asked the reason for it.
"I guess your rubber body halted your puberty, making the process go real slow, now that you have no powers, your metabolism returned to mostly normal, I must say sleeping for only five or six hours and not getting sick or sluggish is a feat of itself," was Ray's response.
His relationship with Ray had also developed much, Luffy did not have much in the way of male Idols, he was raised in Fusha village, the mayor was a major stick in the mud and his grandfather was mostly absent, it was no wonder he appreciated Shanks and Ace so much, he looked up to them and now Rayleigh was one too.
He also became close to the Gorgon sisters, now calling them Sonia-chan or Mari-chan.
However he became closest to Hancock, in fact he started a serious relationship her, in blunt fashion he charged into the relationship, after discovering his feelings and Rayleigh giving him the talk and going in excruciating detail about his encounters and his 'techniques'.
In the next meeting with Hancock he immediately asked her to go out with him, in fact, that was the first thing he did after he saw her ship anchoring on the isle, she almost had a heart attack, suffice to say she was even more devoted to Luffy than before, but now after their relationship started she started losing her fawning tendencies, though she still had her moments and her antics but she was now much more comfortable around him.
so, a year passed.

Byrnndi World
His dreams often came in form of memories from his early life, the disaster of the Grey terminal, his promise with Ace.
However this time it turned bad, his memories from the war haunted him from time to time, it was rare and unwelcome, he remembered the hell he passed through Impel down, how much pain he felt after being poisoned, he remembered falling down on the war and causing chaos, he remembered the wall raising all around him, the shower of molten rock, his face off and defeat at the hand of the three admirals, his unwilling face off against his Grandpa.
Him freeing Ace, a feeling of hope, then it cut right to where his brother was pierced by a hand of molten magma.
"Could you tell everyone later? For everyone, Pops, and you, Luffy... Thank you for loving a good-for-nothing like me… and has bad blood running through his veins like me… up until today… thank you!"
Luffy raised himself from his makeshift blanket, his hand crushed the earth and made some terrible cracks from all around them, sweat riddled his body as he breathed hard, he did not have a shirt anymore, his last one suffered a defeat after many canons to the face, the muscular lean body was slightly raised as he sat one hand on his knees, people remember the saying puberty hits like a train, however to Luffy it hit like a moon — he was scrawny 5'6" the year before, now a year after he was standing at 6'4".
He was very muscular easily showing off his eight pack, his hair had not grown much, but his bangs and side bangs had grown longer — He actually had Hancock cut his hair herself, he argued that she knew what haircut suited him best… After she cut this way, she kept whispering about how he was pretty boy… he didn't really get it but if she liked it then it's fine.
His face was now linear, with a strong jawline and high cheekbones, his eyes were now more narrow, and his silver eyes were even more expressive, on his chest was the exposed scar it was a cross, it was not a huge one however at the beginning of the training it was pretty big, Rayleigh taught him a bit of biology he knew now that scar tissue does not grow, so while his body grew the scar didn't, giving the impression that it was smaller than before.
XOX
"A bad dream…?"
"...Yeah."
"You are all sweaty," Ray passed a barrel of water. "Here drink this."
Luffy chugged down the barrel, a little bit of water ran down his jaw, but he did not care. He stomped the barrel on the ground, now he was in a sitting position.
"Are you calmer now?"
Luffy smiled. "Yeah… in these moments I wonder what they are doing right now" He started reminiscing about them.
"About your friends?"
"Zoro..." He started smiling.
"I have my own ambition... to be the world greatest swordsman!"
"I will! … never lose again! Until the day I defeat him and become a Master Swordsman… I'll never be defeated … Got any problems with that... King of the Pirates?!"
"Usopp…"
"I am Captain of the Usopp pirates … and a brave warrior of the sea! I won't let you lay a finger on the village!"
"Get on the ship already"
"Eh!"
"We're friends now, aren't we?"
"Gah! I … I get to be the captain, right?!"
"Sorry! Sorry for my stubbornness I was wrong! I wish to take back my regrets, but I can't do anything! So I beg of you, please just one more time… Let me be your friend!"
"Nami..." her name was uttered with a little more fondness than the others.
She went for another stab on to the cursed mark tattooed on her arm, however, a hand stopped her.
"Luffy… Please help me…" he put his precious hat on her head.
And he screamed to high heavens. "Of course I will!"
"Luffy..."
"Nami! You are my friend!" He stood on top of Arlong park as he yelled.
Her tears could not stop.
"Yeah!"
"Sanji…"
"Say… do you know the All blue?" he asked with a child's wonder.
"I'll come along on your journey to become 'the pirate king'! - We both have foolish dreams, in other to achieve my dreams, I'll be the cook of your crew"
"Sanji… don't catch a cold out there"
"Owner Zeff! Thank you for all the damn things you've done for a shitty brat like me over all of these years!"
"Chopper..."
"Even if I don't have any friends, I can still fight!"
"You do have friends! I am your friend!"
It's true that I want to be a pirate, but I can't become your comrade…"
"Shut up! Let's go!"
"Robin..." his caring voice returned.
"There are too many enemies in my dream!"
"Okay let's go up." He grabbed her body and the body of the King of Alabasta.
"Wait I don't have a reason to live! Please leave me here!"
"Why should I listen to you?"
"I don't have any place to return to… can I join your crew?"
"Ok,"
"The pirates have waged war on the government!"
"Robin! Say you want to live!"
"I… I WANT TO LIVE! Take me to the sea with you!"
"Franky..."
"If you want these shitty speedos back, you'll have to join us! "
"Don't be so cocky … I feel sorry for the ship when it's so great but has no real shipwright on the crew"
"I suppose I can take care of it for you… I, Franky, will take on the role of the shipwright for the crew! I'm taking off for a while!"
"Brook..."
"Gather up all of the crew! It's time to ship out Bink's brew!"
"I'm so happy to hear that Laboon is well and still waiting"
"My shadow is back and we're out of the demonic sea, it was tough everyday… truthfully, I didn't even see a glimmer of hope but you know Luffy-san… I'm so happy to be alive! Ah… can I join your crew?"
"Yes, you can"
"Huh! So easily! He joined!" the crew was in shambled as he let a skeleton join.
"I want to become even stronger… And be a man that protects their dreams"
"I guess your friends are thinking the same thing… and biding their time now… but even stronger than you are now? I thought it would take two years to get you to an acceptable level for the new world now I feel a bit sorry for them."
"Uh-huh… but I can grow even stronger," he said that with a confidence Ray had come to appreciate.
"The sun will rise soon… catch some sleep, tomorrow will be another grueling day,"
"Okay I'll do just that," he laid down, a tiny blanket over his muscled abdomen.

In the middle of the sea in a storm
Three Marine warships and a Liner were in combat to what appeared to be three small boats, they were fast, manned by a trio of pirates each, having a cannon in front, they quickly entered the marine's territory shooting down, while expertly evading the marine's shots because of the speed.
However in the distance…
"Byojack, how many minutes have passed since we started attacking?" A large man at least fifteen feet tall with a commander outfit open showing his hairy chest, he had a green beard and mustache and he was missing some teeth from his mouth and wore a helmet with Horns on both sides, although one was cut short.
"Um… eight minutes," a tiny elderly man sitting on his shoulder coughed up a response, he bore a startling resemblance to the first and wore a similar helmet, he also carried a medical stand with drugs on the plastic bag.
"So slow! It shouldn't take that long to sink three warships and a liner!"
"B—But it took so much trouble for us to recruit those crew members while you were gone!"
The man grabbed the nuts in his hands.
"Making up the number is not good enough!"
"Nightin, Gairam, Sebastian, show them how it's done," he said that to a tiny old lady, an egg-shaped man, and a huge Fishman.
"One, I'll give you one minute!"
"Yes—"
"—I've been itching for a fight!"
"—Let's go already." The fishman jumped into the sea, while the man and the woman jumped on his back, they swam forward with incredible speed.
"What are they? They are sliding on the water!" A marine yelled.
Even after shooting them, they evaded all attacks.
Both the lady and the man jumped towards the deck, the lady started killing all the marines with her weird martial art, the egg-shaped man with cube-like hair and a cube hammer.
"I always thought these marine ships were ugly! Let me renovate it for you guys! Cube Break!"
His power cut cubes into the deck of the ship and the size, sending chunks of it into the sea, the marines fell into the stormy waters.
"Don't take too long!" The giant Fishman with dark glasses screamed as he jumped out of the water picked up his Spiked mace and crashed straight into the ship sinking it entirely.
Byojack stopped the timer on his clock right on time.
"Baroro… I knew they could do it... I'll take care of the rest—"
"What?" Byojack asked in surprise.
"—In fifty seconds."
"H—Hey!" But the large man did not care, as he jumped towards the three remaining ships, when he would lose altitude, he would kick the air, like a foothold, accelerating him even further, he landed on the Liner.
"Y—You're, Byrnndi World!" The marines cried out, surprisingly there was a celestial guardian on board of the liner.
World did a mocking noise, he punched the nearest three marines, killing them from the force, two captains aimed their rifles, but World stole the weapons. "Let me borrow these!"
He aimed at the two warships.
"More-More." The two bullets shot increased their size exponentially, their speed was such that it hit both ships without anyone noticing, the power behind the explosion completely disintegrated both.
He dropped both rifles, a brave marine tried to hit him with a scythe however he grabbed the sharp metal with his hand, the marine in his shock noticed World's arm had a greenish-black metallic look.
"What?!"
World chucked the marine towards the stormy sea, the others shot at him, but he disappeared in a flash above the line.
"He jumped."
"Up there."
The tiny size of his new scythe weapon became the size of a giant pillar its length overshadowed the ship, in the next moment he split the ship in half after swinging it, triggering an explosion killing everyone there, even the world noble who foolishly just wanted to explore the world with an armada on his back, not knowing there were suicidal pirates willing to ambush them and did not care for the Admiral deterrent at all.
"As expected of World."
"His strength hasn't faded at all."
"That's for sure."
His three crewmates remarked, they were long time friends of world and rejoiced at his return.
Back on World's ship the new contracted mercenaries paled at the overwhelmingly strong new Captain that they followed, they were just here because they were contracted with a large sum of money, but killing a celestial dragon for the fun of it, ambushing Navy ships that did not need to be ambushed, it was like the man they were following was out of his head for putting such a target on his back.
"Overwhelmingly Strong!"
"He is crazy! He even blew his own people!"
World landed on the ship. "How was that?"
"E—Exactly 50 seconds"
He smirked.
"Newcomers, remember this… if you fail to carry my orders, that's what will happen!"
"They fought hard; they were following your orders!" Byojack complained.
World explained that he did not care that his mercenaries tried to do the work, he only cared about fast results, if they couldn't do their specified orders in the time he allocated for them it was only natural that they would die as compensation, as a warning that he did not like slow comrades in arms. He did not need incompetence in his crew, he did not need people who wouldn't fight for him and he made this heard to all the fearful new mercenaries.
He played with the brown nuts in his hand. "If you can't do it, I will kill you with my own hands!" He crushed the nuts. "I don't need you here if you are not willing to fight and die for me! Just go away!"
"World!" Byojack yelled his name with a disapproving expression.
"He is insane!" Three crewmates ran away.
However World wouldn't allow that, he threw the crumbs at their chest, piercing them in a showery mess of gore, their ribs fell out from their torso and one undamaged lung fell like a wet rubber ball on the ground as their blood made a pool under them, they kept breathing for a few seconds until they died with fear in their hearts. "By the way, I'll kill everyone who runs away Baroro." He said as he laughed as usual.
"World…"

It was a bright day, it was finally time for her to visit her beloved Luffy, she was a stunning woman reaching the height of six foot three inches, black smooth as silk hair reaching past her knees and blue eyes. She had side bangs cut neatly like a princess, she also had voluminous eyelashes, she wore two golden snake earrings, a tight Purple dress.
She was an extremely curvy woman, having massive breasts, a round ass that was very firm, a slim waist, coupled with her dress being very form fitting, even showing the outline of her belly-button, and this time her dress was made of leather with some intricate Kuja designs and also having a cut made a little higher than her hips with a yellow bowtie that showed her long smooth creamy white legs and a bit of her v-line, there were no undergarments to be seen, that meant she liked to go commando as most of the Kuja's in the island went, truly it was a wonder that dress did not show her privates.
This was the most beautiful woman in thew world, any female or male gazing upon her would be entranced by her appearance.
"Ah it's almost time to visit our beloved, what should we get him… Yes, next week is winter season… Temperatures should reach below minus seventy degrees… we can't let him pass the cold without proper clothing… yes, perhaps more food, he has such a big appetite, we should make him something on the ship so it's still hot, what else…" She started walking in circles on the throne room, all the while fussing over her beloved.
"Stop obsessing over Luffy, princess, speaking from my many experiences with men, they don't like fussy women like yourself, and you are a warlord, how can you be so infatu—"
Gloriosa was interrupted by a stiletto heel right on her head, the snake princess started grinding her foot down, showing her under-thighs and a peek into her round ass.
"You are trying to interrupt our relationship with our beloved Luffy! Unforgivable! Many experiences with men? Don't kid yourself… Luffy is not and never will be a normal man… Your experiences pale in comparison to what my beloved can provide! … Stop getting on my back at once Gloriosa!"
All the while releasing her supreme king's aura, her dominance was felt miles off the island while her eyes were cold.
"The snake princess is mad!" Her servants were anxious, while the sisters were breaking a sweat.
She stopped releasing her aura.
"Even then Gloriosa. You know Luffy is the pirate king, in fact that throne has his name written already, it is but a matter of when … A king will need its queen at his side don't you think!" She did a cute pose and everyone even gloriosa forgave her.
"After the winter, spring will arrive, prepare spring form-fitting clothes for him too!"
The servant quickly wrote it down, Luffy finally showed men's fashion sense to the island of women so no more clothes with frills and other girly stuff for him.
"Let's set sail as soon as everything is prepared!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Hancock faced her sisters.
"I know you both are itching to meet Luffy again… Could… Could you please leave today only for me and him?"
"Ok," they were saddened as they could not speak with Luffy, but they knew that Hancock wanted some time alone with Luffy.
Gloriosa had woken up from the Pirate Empress' attack, she looked out the window, and after a few moments, a bat carrying a message came.
Gloriosa picked up the message. "It's from the world government W… what?! This is big princess… the World Government is summoning—?" Gloriosa looked around but the Pirate Empress was nowhere to be found.
"Um, She and her crew had already left the building," a servant told the old lady.
Gloriosa face-palmed, that irresponsible attitude is going to give her a heart attack sooner than later.

A canon soared through the sky, it's size was huge, perhaps the size of a tall building, after a moment it impacted on an island blowing it up in a huge explosion, the culprit was a giant island like ship.
"Baroro, I can't believe you built this thing Gairam!" World praised the artificer and shipbuilder of the crew with a smile of satisfaction.
"—With just a single shot. It destroyed the island."
The mercenaries that remained remarked on the destructive power of the new canon, it was world ending. Now they finally understood the moniker their captain had from the World Government, the feared 'World Destroyer' with the power ot exponentially increase whatever he wanted.
"Well, it was nothing — I trusted ya'd be returnin' for 30 years." The Egg shaped man declared, this was Gairam, he had twin cube shaped twin tails while the rest was bald, he had a blue-white sailor shirt with a red collar and he had blue jean shorts with big suspenders, he was also carrying a huge cubic hammer on his back.
"So did we! Sebastian and I put all our efforts into gathering materials for the ship… so don't try to take all the credit," the old tiny woman retorted, with ugly makeup and round glasses, a pink dress with breasts that sagged from her age and a white lab coat responded, she was Nightin.
"She's right!" A huge twenty-five-foot-tall Merman with dark blue skin purple lips and sunglasses, with a wine no-sleeved shirt and dark blue leather pants spoke, he was Sebastian a crossbreed of a merman and a giant.
"What did you say?" Gairam started looking at them.
"Baroro! Stop fighting! I thank you all!"
The three grinned a happy but uneasy expression came to their faces.
"The ship we've dreamt about 30 years ago, we finally got it in our hands! And this giant cannon!" He looked at the monumental canon in front of the ship. "The barrel is already big, but with my power over exponentials I can increase its destructive capabilities by magnitudes of power, with this we will blow up Marie Geoise as well as a giant chunk of the redline for good measure, with this we will be able to destroy the seat of power for the government and get our ultimate revenge, all preparations are complete… Now It's showtime!"
"World… I don't think we can carry out the plan so easily… " the frail old man Byojack said.
"Why?"
"Because of the attack last night… the world now knows that we are back in action, that the former great pirate Byrnndi World is back again..."
"Hah, I wanted to do that… It's not a big deal!"
"But now they are looking for us to attack… they even summoned the seven warlords to deal with us…"
"Is that true?" the trio was stunned.
"The seven warlords? What in the hell is that?"
The man who lived in a prison for the last thirty years asked the informed Byojack. The old frail man answered that they were pirates whose actions were sanctioned by the Government, their bounties frozen and in return they would act in accordance to the Government when called upon. They were called as attack dogs because they were on a leash. "However you shouldn't underestimate them — almost all of them are fairly formidable."
"And?"
"My information gathering is perfect without question… they were summoned just this morning… and they'll gather in the Marine HQ within a few days.. I don't think this plan of yours is gonna work out."
"Wait a moment — You said they were just called this morning? Then we take advantage of this, Byojack which government dog is the closest?"

The training continued on the island of Ruskaina.
On the day of the visits, Ray would rest, he preferred meditation on one of the mountains, it always calmed him, and he wouldn't be bothered or want to leave his post for the rest of the day.
The rest of the Kuja Pirates stayed near the beach.
On another part of the island, Luffy and Hancock were alone, the full moon had risen from the horizon.
Luffy leaned in touching his forehead with hers, he looked right into her eyes as he touched her neck.
"Thank you, Hancock."
"For what?"
"For everything."
LEMON WARNING
He delivered a passionate kiss to her without much warning taking her by surprise but not an unwelcome one, his tongue brushed across her lips demanding entrance, Hancock being submissive gave her permission, he plundered her mouth and Hancock's own tongue intertwined with his, her needy movements became more frantic as she traced his muscled chest. He grabbed her thighs and melded her frame into him, her boobs were squeezed in his hard chest, and her ass was in his lap.
She started moaning and panting, grinding her body into him, as their mouths separated a thin line of saliva, her mouth had such a sweet taste, her body had a vanilla scent, he wanted more.
She was a goner, his mouth had a mint like taste and his body smelled like rosewood and something else… she was getting addicted to his touch, she mostly did not know about sex she just let Luffy take the lead although both had yet to lose their virginities… Unfortunately, because of her heightened senses from observation, she could not escape the bliss.
Luffy grew impatient, he attacked her mouth again, this time he sucked her pink tongue, his hands grabbed both cheeks from her ass, fondling them and drawing moans and screams of pleasure. After sucking her tongue with his mouth he licked the underside of her pink cute tongue, his hands meanwhile were now under her clothes, his strokes continued in her apple bottom as his fingers brushed and teased her tiny pussy and her puckered hole, her ass was on his lap and she felt his huge pole in the cleavage of her bum.
The heat generated by his cock passed on to her giving her shivers even while he was clothed, after slowly licking her lips he bit on her neck, it was too much and she orgasmed, he teased her plump developed breasts, pulling her erect nipples prolonging her pleasure before they finished. Luffy saw the bottom part of her dress completely to the side, giving him a view of her tiny lower pink lips, she was not shaven, but it was like she did not have any hair down from her neck.
While she was still in her high, he put his thumb to the side and pushed her skin revealing her peerless pink folds, she was perfect.
He stood up, she was kneeling in the grass, she looked up and met a huge tent in his shorts, it was massive… she wondered how his clothing did not tear from his thing, he then grabbed her head with both hands, burying his fingers in her silky dark hair, and nuzzled her under his bulge, his tool pushed upwards and escaped from his short, it reached past his belly button but she couldn't see it right now, she was nuzzling and breathing in his scent, it was amazing, she rubbed her face all over his muscular thighs as she came yet again.
While they would like to have full blown sex this was not the time, so they repaired their appearance.
XOX
"Hah, let's stop here." Luffy huffed.
"Yes," She was blushing up a storm and cleaning her face of her saliva.
"Can you wait here? I'd like to give you a present!" Luffy grinned.
"Yeah!"
Luffy walked calmly through the woods, a few weeks back he spotted a clearing with a flower bed, it had some amazing flowers, however, there was one type that was stunning, it was a white four petal flower that glowed.
However in the middle of his walk, he noticed a disturbance near the Kuja's ship, he rushed to them at high speeds, his observation taking over so that he would not hit any obstacle.
Finally, he arrived on the coast, where he witnessed a tall old man. He was menacing and had a crazy look in his eyes.
"Tell your empress! If she wants to have her little sisters back, she needs to follow this vivre card before the break after tomorrow."
World dropped a piece of paper by some fallen Kuja warriors, Luffy noticed all of Hancock's crew were down for the count but nobody was dead yet, World picked up both Gorgon sisters and was ready to leave when a Haki infused punch impacted on his face, he coated his face just in time to avoid major damage, but even then World got thrown several feet, however his hold over the sisters would not be broken, he flipped midair and jumped away from the island in a maneuver that took advantage from the punch, both sisters were under one arm.
"Wait! You bastard"
Luffy who punched him was hot in pursuit also jumping in the air.
World spit blood, the punch was hard, however the fight was over, he threw a pebble at Luffy.
Luffy stopped and put his hand in front, that tiny pebble flew to him unbelievably fast.
It had Haki on it, he had a bad feeling about it and the fears were confirmed, a split second before he tried to catch it the tiny pebble expanded a hundredfold, it became a giant bolder, not akin to those he used to train, however when his hands clutched it the weight and power behind it was unbelievable, in fact, the giant stone pushed him back into the island with great velocity above hypersonic speeds, he was dragged several hundred meters deep into the forest, his legs were knee deep in the ground as if sunken on sand, while his fingers were piercing the Haki boulder, and finally he stopped.
His fingers clutched the stone as cracks appeared on it, he dropped the stone on the floor, it started making a crater because of its weight.
"Unbelievable! how in the hell did he make that stone so powerful and heavy...?" It was at this moment two people approached him, it was Rayleigh and Hancock.
"Luffy-kun are you alright?"
"Luffy! What happened?"
"We have a huge problem, let's go to the coast I'll try to explain on the way!"
XOX
"…However it seems this World has some business with us" Boa spoke about the new threat and how he had kidnapped her sisters.
"Are you going after him?" Gloriosa asked, her eyes were on the Vivre card on the princess' hand.
"Yes, he got Mari and Sonia."
"But if the stories are true about this guy, even if it's you… no, it's too dangerous princess... This guy was called the 'World Destroyer' for a reason!"
"Don't worry old lady, I'll accompany her… don't worry go make some tea or something." Luffy spoke, his words brought some laughs from his companions as Gloriosa tried to jump him with shark teeth.
"Luffy didn't you promise that you were going to train here for two years?"
"Of course, I remember it! That guy is strong! But I haven't lost yet Ray, in these past few months I got close to Mari-chan and Sonia-chan, I can't stand around here doing nothing!"
"Luffy…"
"Ray, please let us take him with us" Hancock implored she wanted to have this she wanted her man to blow away her fears and anxiety while her sisters were kidnapped, she wanted her lover close to her.
Luffy petted her head, he was now three inches taller than her.
Rayleigh sighed.
"No matter what I say you won't change your mind huh? Then come victorious at all costs!"
"Of course," confidence exuded out of the son of Dragon.
"However you need to be careful, you are under the radar, but there are people still looking for you, you've changed a lot but there are still many recognizable features like the scar below the eyes, don't cause much commotion."
Luffy nodded.
XOX
On one of the meeting rooms back in Marineford, there was a severe discussion going on the premises.
"…But, this guy is like a mad dog… he kills world nobles, pirates, marines and civilians alike without care." Kizaru pointed to an article saying about an island disappearing.
"He did this too?"
"That's what the government thinks… they've decided to summon the warlords after the noble case, they've sent the carrier bats three days ago."
"Without even telling us!" Sakazuki growled.
"It was necessary—"
"Tsuru-san." Kizaru greeted her.
"By summoning them not only they would prepare for his attack, but to also prevent dissenters from joining World … I think that's how you should look at it. Thirty years ago he held the title of 'World Destroyer' the government did what they did because they see him as a threat."
Tsuru would then tell the story of how the marines took him down, with the might of the fleet plus a giant pirate alliance, even then this great alliance was eventually cornered, but the battle turned around because of what Cipher pol did, The World pirates were defeated.
Both Gloriosa on the ship with Luffy and Hancock and Tsuru in Marineford told the same story that they remembered.
"Sengoku-san told me there were some prisoners that escaped level six on Impel down that did not join Blackbeard, World is on that list!"
"He is the last person you want out of prison, on top of it we are relocating and making transitions… the worst timing." Tsuru spoke.
"He ate the fruit of More, he can amplify him or things around him exponentially, the things he can amplify vary, but he mainly uses velocity, weight, power, acceleration… last time recorded he can exponentially increase something by more than a hundredfold, destroyer of the world indeed."
"Based on the reports, he is somewhere in this area… prepare the warships!" Sakazuki ordered.
XOX
On the morning World and Byojack, Byojack was opposed to World's plan, using the empress as a shield, originally this ship was for their freedom, not to destroy things.
However, World argued that it was the government who was taking away the freedom of the people, that what he was doing was right and that even if he was his older brother he would not show mercy towards those who disobeyed him.
"World! The Kuja's ship has been sighted" Gairam spoke through the transponder snail.
"Here they've come! Let's go big brother!" World smirked.
XOX
"This is where the card has been leading us…" Luffy now wore new clothes, it was a red tank top with a hoodie hiding his face and gray shorts, he did not wear any footwear.
"Hancock, below us… do you feel…"
"Now that you've pointed out."
The giant island ship rose from the sea, the force made Luffy grab Hancock's waist, lest she fall.
World was on the highest point of the island.
"Thank you for coming all this way empress … your sisters are here!" he opened a part of the ship showing both in a cage.
"Big sister!"
"Big Sis, I'm sorry!"
"Sonia! Mari!"
Luffy glared at World.
"That kid is here too World!"
"He is a tough guy that's for sure! If you want to rescue them come on board — we welcome you, anytime!" Some cannons started aiming for their ships.
"What welcome… Evasive maneuvers!" as the ship dodged the cannons
"Hancock, we need to approach the shore."
"We know."
"Do they think they can get away?"
A wall of canons moved to aim at the ship, however, Luffy anticipated it, throwing bullets with his hands coated with Haki completely destroying part of the ship.
"Baroro… Oi, give me some bullets too!" Just like last time they've expanded to the size of a cannonball, however while not as big it was even faster than that pebble, Luffy noticed and jumped in their way, he did a flurry of punches detonating all of them mid-air, he flipped and jumped back using the air to avoid the powerful explosions.
"Baroro… He is definitely strong! Hey, Pirate Empress if you want to live then come with them quietly!" He pointed at his foot soldiers, they were carrying weapons and one even had a sea stone cuff.
"Nah… Men! just kill her already!" World then gave a complete opposite order showing his own insanity.
"I thought we would use her as a hostage!" Byojack, his older brother sitting on his shoulder retorted.
"We can just nail her body on the front of the ship, it will work either way! Kill her!"
Both Luffy and Hancock took offense to his words, immediately jumping to the deck of the ship-island, she immediately started attacking, she mainly used her legs, every time she touched their flesh the area would immediately turn into stone and since she hit their heads or their neck it would petrify everything above their legs, moreover the force of her kicks would immediately crush the stone, it was no different from getting decapitated really,
In contrast, Luffy's attacks were bloodier, his punches and kicks would cave their skulls, chest and even the abdomen, destroying their internal organs.
Salome, the snake, also nimbly bit everyone that got in her way, her venom was very potent killing them in a few minutes, it wasn't long before all his crew were dead.
"That's it... our beloved Luffy!" Hancock started swooning over Luffy's strength.
"What a useless bunch… I guess she wants to be killed by me!"
"There is no need for you to fight… I can do it!" a man behind the transponder snail voiced his suggestion towards his Captain.
"Sebastian, I'll give you five minutes."
"No two minutes is enough." Sebastian boasted through the transpoder snail to World's immense joy.
"Luffy, I've heard this name before, and that face…" Byojack mumbled.
World then disappeared inside of the ship with his older brother in tow.
"Did you hear, Hancock, he said only two minutes for both of us"
She chuckled in mirth at how far the enemy had underestimated both of them, they were rightful monsters that wouldn't be stopped by mere boasting, either of them could destroy the whole crew and be done with it, however they did this couple's adventure together just for fun and companionship in each other.
"Great water shot!" A tunnel of water shot through; the couple easily dodged it. Sebastian, the giant merman arrived. "You want you to see our cap't… Let me lead you... to hell!"
Luffy's lips formed a straight line, he was not impressed.
He smacked Luffy with his iron spiked mace, however, Luffy stopped it with one hand covered in Haki, Sebastian had used the same force that sank an entire warship, yet it had no effect, That's what Sebastian felt, as he was blind, he relied on his observation to see.
"Hancock, let's play with this guy a bit."
For the next two minutes, Sebastian was tossed around like a pinball by Hancock and Luffy, while their blows were not meant to kill, they hurt like hell, the merman giant couldn't do anything, it was frustrating, after what it felt like forever…
"Time is up, two minutes passed, you boastful bastard." Luffy called.
Hancock jumped and kicked the fishmen's abdomen, turning his entire body into stone, her kick also cracked his chest a bit, she dropped to the ground, as Luffy followed up directly behind her with a Haki infused punch, his black arm crashed on the stone, sending it flying while it broke and disintegrated into chunks from the force, the largest piece was sent surfing in the water for miles away, the other pieces scattered all over the vicinity. He fell to the ground, his naked feet stomping it due to his weight forming tiny cracks into the floor, Boa right behind him as she caressed her hair.
And while the fight was happening in the distance some familiar faces were watching from a distance…
XOX
"It seems we've formed a peanut gallery," Luffy said.
He referred to Buggy and his crew, and Mihawk who was also nearby.
"Can I defeat that man?" Hancock asked.
"Mihawk? … You have an overwhelming advantage against weapon users, it all depends on the strength of your armament, will you turn his weapon into stone, or will he cut your skin? I don't know. Anyways let's go."
"O—okay, my beloved!~"
"Useless piece of trash" World commented as he saw what happened on the screen, he wondered what the hell happened in the thirty years he'd been locked up, his crew, what the hell were they doing in that timespan, they were not pieces of trash that would be defeated by a mere attack dog form the government were they?
"Gairam! Lead me to them." he spoke to the transponder snail.
"Okay!"
World grabbed his brother and threw him to the ground.
"Be useful and watch the hostages or something!"
"World!" the frail old man managed to get on his knees.
Both Luffy and Hancock rushed to the entrance.
"I feel something below" Luffy called as a cubic hole appeared under them, the couple parkoured down into the depths of the ship, it was a maze riddled with cubes of granite.
XOX
Back on buggy's ship.
"Wait, what is he doing here?" Buggy and Mr. 3 spotted a boat to the side, on it was a pink haired girl and… Mihawk!?
"Wait why is he here?"
"Maybe he was summoned by the government?"
"Wait is he here to take my credit?!"
"Then the plan will be a failure, we need to leave some marks, we can't just wait and watch!"
"...I see, Guys! It is now time to attack! We've got some strong backup now!"
"Yes! Captain Buggy"
While they were reading their attack on the other ship, the small raft of Mihawk, two members were there just for their viewing pleasure of the events happening here.
"That boy, he's changed," Perona remarked.
"Hmm, perhaps, but it's more of a change of perspective than anything… perhaps his sudden willingness to kill scares you?" He focused his eyes on her, those eyes while pretty they looked right into the soul, that feeling always left her a bit creeped out.
"And… Zoro has changed as well, you should know."
Yes, she knew, that idiot had steeled his resolve and had grown stronger the past few months, he already had a good grasp of Haki and his swordsmanship had become something to behold, however, his strength while great paled a bit when seeing his Captain up close.
XOX
"This looks like a maze" Hancock noted.
"Then let's focus on your sister's presence " Having said that Luffy and Hancock rushed towards a single direction.
It wasn't long before they reached a circular hall with many exits, Hancock rushed towards one exit Luffy right behind her, however he the exit while he flicked back, just in time as a huge block crashed down, blocking that exit with World on top.
"Luffy! Are you alright?! " Hancock raised her voice as she was worried, however she was happy he saved her.
"Yes go on ahead I'll find another way!"
Hancock decided to leave this fight in Luffy's hand and went on her way.
World arrived. "Baroro, I can't believe that both of you survived that — you are a tough guy that's for sure!"
"World! I believe I've heard of the name Monkey D. Luffy before, he is a guy who brought chaos to the war between Whiteheads and the Marines… all to save his brother Ace from execution! He is a formidable opponent be careful!" Byojack told him that by the transponder snail.
"Hmm, I see… And? Did you save your brother, or did you fail?"
Luffy glared at him.
"No? Baroro — Well here I go!" he coated his entire body with his greenish black Haki and increased his speed a hundred-fold.
At that moment Luffy could only see his fist approaching his face, he could not comprehend the speed he was witnessing, he only had a moment to block with his two Haki arms.
He was launched to the next room, the wall of granite broke into pieces as Luffy managed to land on his feet, this was ridiculous. This guy was as fast as Kizaru and hit as hard as his grandfather, well it was understandable, his base form was fast as hell and he was very strong, he also had a great understanding of Haki.
Exponentially rising his speed by a hundred was ludicrous.
His arms were in a cross position, steam was rising from the area hit.
However Luffy wasn't the only one affected, World coughed blood as he couched a punch mark in his stomach.
"Bastard! You'll pay for that! " World yelled at him.
He teleported behind Luffy he punched him again sending him to the dealing, however, Luffy blocked the damage again with his arms, he continued teleporting behind him trying to get under his guard, to an outside viewer Luffy's body was flying all around the room as World hit him, the World destroyer boosted his strength to a hundred-fold. As they fought Luffy kept talking to him and World kept getting angrier and angrier at Luffy, the man who busted Impel down and made his escape possible in the first place.
"You can't save anybody Monkey D. Luffy! Not your brother and not those sisters." he punched again only this time he sent Luffy flying as his guard finally broke, Luffy crashed punching a hole through the floor, as his body fell down to the sea, splash sounds were heard down below.
"You can't save anyone — Now for that empress… " World left.
He was walking in a corridor.
"Garp's grandson…"
XOX
"Garp, Sengoku, I'm disappointed in you!" His voice boomed as he stood against thousands of marine and pirate ships alike, the marines formed an alliance with those who held grudges against him.
"Bastard running his mouth — let me go Sengoku I can beat his ass one on one "
"Garp perhaps he is right" Garp clicked his tongue…
After hours and hours of battle, the alliance was on the ropes, they couldn't deal significant damage to the World pirates.
Most of the pirates had fled or were now corpses on the bottom of the sea, few warships survived.
"We're backed into a corner Garp " he broke into a cold sweat.
"We need to do something Sengoku, " Garp said.
"Don't worry, the tide of battle will turn soon" a man in a black suit with a black fedora spoke.
"Cipher pol?!" Sengoku cried the name out.
"What are you people doing here?!"
Suddenly World's warship stopped firing.
"What's going on? Why… Why did they stop firing!?" Both World and Byojack looked around surprised, until hundreds of gunshots behind him, the pain in his Stomach, he couldn't bear it, he knelt down on the floor, as blood started flooding out of his body, hundreds of wounds were on his lower body.
He realized, he had been betrayed, attacks that could easily be dodged, however, they may be, but he could not fathom they would come from whom he trusted the most, his comrades.
"—What are you guys doing?" Nightin was shocked.
"—Are you insane" Sebastian raged.
"—Why would you do such a thing?!" Gairam yelled.
"—World!" Byojack who fell from his shoulder screamed with worry.
World clutched his stomach, the splinters inside of him digging in his organs.
"I—I Thought we were comrades!" World started shedding tears.
"E...even if we win here, we can't keep fighting the government forever!" One crew mate yelled.
"We can't follow you anymore… World-san" one whispered but it was heard by everybody, the crew took aim again.
"Who told you that?!" Nightin screamed.
"Were you bought by the government?" Gairam raged.
"—It's not just us, they've told you were in it too!" One crewmate argued.
World screamed, his eyes whited out, as he jumped his own crew, slaughtering each and every last of them, only leaving his elder brother, Sebastian Nightin and Gairam alive, every time he battled, his wounds opened more, the whole deck itself had various spots of blood, and finally he crushed the last of them, he couldn't think straight anymore, he had lost too much blood, while this was happening the unmanned ship became a sitting duck, it wasn't long before it was irreparably damaged.
"Strong as always, how can you move with these wounds World?" The same Cipher pol agent mocked the kneeling man, 'World destroyer' and one of the strongest criminals was finally on the mercy of the government, he couldn't contain his glee, and neither could his comrades.
"You guys! You are Cipher pol?!" Byojack cried out.
"What the hell is that?!" He was delirious at this point.
"An intelligence agency from the government!"
"You bastar—" He saw the agent coming with his finger stretched, armament Haki coated on it, it was an easy and predictable attack and as easy to defend, however, World's body would not respond to him, the finger pierced his chest, it was the final strike.
He fell face first into the ground.
"World!" Sebastian, Nightin, and Gairam screamed.
"World…" Byojack lamented, he started running off the ship.
"Stop don't let him get away!"
"Sebastian, Nightin and Gairam, Everybody run!"
"Byojack… What are you saying?" He murmured on the ground as his tears streamed from his face and formed a cold puddle around his face, the blood also formed a warm pool around his body. His own elder brother was leaving him here for dead.
"What about World!"
"...I know. - But we are all going to die for nothing if we stay! I'm giving an order as vice-captain... Survive!"
What was he saying? Big brother? Why? World couldn't believe his ears, his brother, his sibling, his blood, his most precious friend, Byojack was leaving him here to die. Even when… Even when…
"Understood… I'm sorry World." The three crewmates that he most confided in also left.
"Don't let them get away"
"Sebastian please!" a scream was heard amidst all of the shots.
"They've gotten away!" The agent screamed.
"What? They'll die out there in the sea with those injuries" another calmly replied.
"They've betrayed me…" was his last murmur before he passed out from his injuries.
XOX
"Straw hat was defeated so easi—" Buggy remarked while peeking the fight, however he could not finish that sentence as Luffy jumped from the hole, his body was a little wet as he raised himself from his crouching position, the Buggy pirates noticed a lot of bruises on Luffy's arm, and one big bruise from that strong attack he was bleeding from the injuries a bit, a sliver of blood ran down his arm, however it was already healing.
He dug his fingers on the floor as he flexed all of his muscles, the floor cracked as splinters started rising from the floor, a black and reddish aura surged as black sparks shot from him, his conquerors Haki — already so strong that normal people could see a physical representation of it.
However it's intent this time was not to knock out anyone, it was a physical representation of his rage.
XOX
Hancock arrived on a large room full of ingredients and tools made of stainless steel, a laboratory, or a medical room, she did not know which.
"Hmm, who are you? " Boa asked.
"I am Nightin, famous doctor of the World pirates!" Boa's eyes glazed as she stopped paying attention, the old woman continued monologuing, Boa even started daydreaming about Luffy while the lady explained how her powers would not work.
Hancock took offense to that and used her power over love to unleash heart shaped waves came out of her hands, however before they could reach the old woman she picked up a mortar with some herbs, she grabbed a handful and put it in her mouth.
"S… So bitter" the bitter taste allowed her to resist turning into stone.
Hancock repeated the motion three times, and all of those times the woman stuffed more and more bitter herbs in her mouth, Hancock did not do this because of frustration or because she thought her ability would work, but because she was terribly amused by the old woman's antics.
However Nightin grew tired and attacked Boa with a cloud of gas. Hancock wasn't worried, she received many bites from Salome during her youth, poison or venom would not work on her, and acid would not burn her skin as she constantly had a thin layer of armament on her body at full time.
The cloud, however, started dissolving her clothes, the holes showed part of her right hip and her tummy, her right underboob and more holes all over her dress.
"Now you'll not be able to fight properly because you'll be too embarrassed!"
However, Hancock jumped to do award-winning flips in the air, then landing on the rail on the second floor if the lab.
"You insolent wench, you think we need to hide our perfect body, we don't need to hide in shame, in fact, the whole world needs to be forever grateful they could witness even a tiny part of our skin!" she said with her extremely looking down pose, she looked down on others so much that she actually looked up.
The old lady was just stunned. "You think you're God's gift don't you, well-"
"Can you please do us a favor — can you shut your mouth and not breathe the same air as us, please can you just die there!" she said that with the most heavenly cute voice while blushing.
The elderly lady had hearts in her eyes as she just focused on her voice, not the contents however she shook off her attraction and more of her terrible mixture.
Hancock kissed her own delicate index finger a pink heart shape was formed on the end of her finger.
A revolver blast was heard, the heart was fired at a speed which would make even the fastest guns jealous, however, the old lady reacted enough to form a shield out of her mixture combined with a little Haki.
"Our power relies on love, and what they say love is sweet, I guess this old fossil took that literally, her bitter mixture forms a surprisingly good shield but… "
She kissed her finger again, however this time instead of pink it was pure obsidian black with an angry glowing red outline on the little heart.
"Pistol Kiss."
"It will not work! I will just block it aga—"
A pain swelled in her chest she looked down, there was a puncture wound she looked back, the same heart shape was on the floor all around it was turned into stone, she started getting cold, she could not speak, soon dizzy and nausea settled in as she fainted and… died… her heart pierced and turned into stone, it could not pump more blood into her old body.
Unbeknownst to the dead Nightin if someone were to swim and dive on these waters they would see a heart shaped tube of stone that was formed and on the bottom of the sea a heart-shaped crater that went under the crust for an unknown amount of meters, the sea floor around the crater was completely petrified, when measured around, it would be within a hundred kilometer radius, it was unbelievable, and yet she truly turned the sea floor into stone.
"How's this for armament Haki?" Hancock smiled, she was not to be trifled with, for she was one of the strongest women in the world.
"Salome, your food!" Her giant snake slithered forward, gulping down the old woman's dead body.
Back on the control room the little old man watched with a grim look. "First Sebastian, now Nightin as well" Byojack's face was white as a sheet, a cold sweat running down his body.
He witnessed the snake eating the body from the camera. "How cruel can they both be."
XOX
Luffy was pissed off, no he was positively furious, he walked out of the armory encountering the Buggy Pirates.
"Where did World go? " his aura blasted forward, all of the Buggy pirates with Buggy and Mr.3 stonily pointed towards one of the exits.
"I see" he rushed forward.
"That man is still alive, he dropped to the sea… I thought he had a devil fruit!" Byojack said with a grim face back in the control room.
"Let me handle this! He already fell into my trap" Gairam declared through the transponder snail.
In the depths of the ship.
Luffy was walking towards the room where the sisters were being kept in, however cubes of various sizes and materials kept trying to get in his way, so he destroyed each and every one with his strong limbs, this continued until he reached a great room made out of wood, there was an engine there as he scanned it, his eyes finally rested on Gairam.
"World has a mountain of other problems to deal with! He can't be kidding with brats like yourself — I ate the Fruit of cubes, making me a cu—"
"I don't care" Luffy rushed towards him, Gairam was sufficiently intimidated and cut all chat with the Straw hat.
Gairam hit the ground with his hammer and a giant wall made of cubes raised from the ground. He hit the wall with his hammer, it was cut into smaller cubes as they were launched high speed towards Luffy.
However, Luffy shrugged off the attack completely, even when they hit his body the cubes were shattered and in no time, he closed the distance between them. "You think these measly stones are going to work against me?" He asked Gairam point blank.
"You insolent brat!" He attacked Luffy with his iron hammer, however, Luffy stopped the weapon with one hand, he flexed breaking the weapon into pieces.
"Y—you." Gairam steadied his hands and he tried to pierce forward with his fingers.
It was an attack that put his powers over cubes into his fingers, cutting the bodies of enemies into cubes, he rarely used it as it was too gory for his tastes, however before he could reach Luffy with his fingers his hand was stopped, or more precisely his forearm was grabbed by Luffy's own hand, the force was so great that his whole arm to his shoulder was crushed and blood seeped out from the broken skin.
As he screamed Luffy closed in and whispered.
"You should watch your back, it's a healthy practice for someone who wants to live long in these seas… well I guess this advice will be wasted on you though."
As he said the last word Hancock dropped on Gairam's head, his body was crushed into stone as she landed on the ground her feet petrified the wooden floor as his remains were all scattered around, Luffy was still holding his fleshy arm that spasmed around, the only remaining part of the man known as Gairam.
"Luffy! You're so cool!" She started swooning happily as she was reunited with him, Luffy was happy she was okay, although her state of clothing was spinning his imagination, well he had to 'punish' her later, but now is not the time.
"Hancock, let's go save your sisters, I can feel a marine fleet approaching, they'll soon sink this ship." He ran at high speeds towards Mari and Sonia.
"Yes! Love!" as she followed him.
XOX
"How could this happen?'' Byojack whispered.
"World, I'm sorry…"
"After all of this, what are you apologizing for?"
"World! When we were young, this wasn't our dream!"
They had flashbacks about wanting adventure, but life's cruelty made them into criminals,outlaws.
Eventually he was called the 'World's destroyer' his potential was that great, people eventually feared his younger brother, and yet they still continued their adventure, honestly becoming pirates was not planned nor wanted, they truly were good people that did not want to commit crimes but were forced to, they had to live with being targeted.
Until Byojack came with the idea of a submarine ship, so they could avoid battles, World came with the idea of a great canon so they could intimidate their enemies and ward off attacks, however, that tragic moment came before they could build their dream vessel.
"Don't get me wrong, this ship is just a tool I will use." He descended on an oval room riddled with steel spikes as Byojack followed disbelievingly.
"Just like you all were tools, although, you four were useless until the end!" he galred at his frail older brother.
"Don't tell me, you still hold a grudge against us, it has been 30 years!"
"30 years? You forget I was frozen on that block of ice in the deepest part of impel down, to me I remember that battle like it was yesterday — there's no way I'll forget!"
The snake sisters were in a steel cage above him.
"But they were our comrades!" He screamed.
"Comrades? I don't need them, they were just tools to me, just like this ship! If you can't follow my orders, then I don't need you..." He broke the metal ground picking some pieces and throwing in the direction of his older brother, however, Luffy intercepted the attack saving the frail old man's life.
"'Comrades are just tools', Screw you!" He coated his arm with Haki and unleashed a devastating punch to World's face, it was so great in power that it raised a strong gust of wind, Byojack had to hide under the stairs as the wind was so strong.
However, World stopped his momentum before he was thrown too far.
Hancock arrived at that moment.
"Luffy!"
"Hancock, Take Sonia-chan and Mari-chan out, I still have business with this guy"
She nodded, jumped into the air, and kicked the cage, petrifying and breaking it. As the three sisters were leaving the room World rushed towards them, however, Luffy closed the speed, they locked fists again causing a boom of air.
"Luffy! Promise that you'll return to the ship alive!" Hancock before leaving said those words to Luffy.
"Yeah!" Luffy declared.
After a few moments, explosions started happening around the ship.
"World! It's bad the Marines are here, they've brought a whole fleet" Byojack yelled, World smirked.
"So they've come to me instead, well I don't need the empress anymore, let me deal with this annoying pest first, then we'll fire the cannon at them"
"World, if you do that you are going to sink the ship!"
"I don't care!"
At this moment the ceiling melted.
"Akainu!" Luffy spoke seeing the familiar magma, it seemed he was also bombarding the ship.
"Brat, let's finish this!" World used Haki on his whole body and increased his speed and strength a hundred-fold.
Both rushed in the air, fists clashing, but to Byojack they couldn't even be seen only the sonicboom they would unleash each time they met each other, however…
"Why are you so hung up on this, I hear you lost your comrades in Sabaody and lost your brother in the war, you can't protect your friends, you couldn't even protect your brother!" they landed, and World started beating on Luffy's body, however he did no damage as Luffy endured, his Haki winning out.
"Yes, I couldn't save Ace… However, I still have comrades waiting for me! " He closed the distance and he launched world in the air with his kick, most of his body was a metallic black.
"I can't lose to a weakling who doesn't value their bonds… " Luffy jumped
"To protect my friends! " as he continually struck World.
"To become the pirate king! " He kicked World's stomach throwing him up, he beat World's speed as he joined his arms and crushed World's back, launching him down to the ground.
Luffy calmly dropped, his naked feet, cracking the metal ground.
"... You made her cry" Luffy whisper carried through.
On the night before Luffy was sailing with the Kuja's, he passed by Hancock's room, however, a sob made him stop his stride. Because in that room she was clutching her pillow, as tears cascaded down her peerless face.
"Sonia, Mari."
He silently approached and gave a gentle hug as she started to cry on his shoulder, he tenderly stroked her back as support.
The fact that this bastard World made her remember it, Luffy would never forgive him.
"... For those reasons, I will kill you!"
"World!" Byojack started a coughing fit.
World climbed out of the crater, huffing, and coughing blood, he had horrible bruises on his body. "This guy, he continues to grow stronger while we fight." He murmured as he counted the bones broken in his body.
He doubled speed+strength of his body again with the power over Exponentials there was nothing more to be said between Luffy and World, the more parallels they had, the more different their opinions became, they would be enemies no matter what.
Both closed the spaces and met in the middle and started a barrage of punches after a while World was pushed back, Luffy's metallic arms became an angry glowing red.
World rushed again he put all his strength on his last attack.
Luffy also reared his arm, however, the angry red disappeared revealing a black hand with red glowing lines, at the end instead of fingers he had claws, his arm became intricately designed.
"What is that, is it armament Haki?" were Worlds last murmurs as he was launched until he reached the spiked wall.
Luffy was huffing under him his hand stretched out piercing his sternum, he could not utter a word, the spikes also pierced his lungs, spine, and stomach, World finally died from shock.
"World!" Byojack screamed while crying, he stumbled across, forgoing the needle in his arm connected to his medicine, the wound on his vein started bleeding, but he did not care, his tears could not stop as he rushed towards his brother, he reached him as Luffy pulled out his arm from his younger brothers body, after a while after his shock left and he screamed and cried… The older brother cried over his younger brother's death.
His cries were muffled by the sounds of explosions nearby, however Luffy heard them quite clearly.
After a while he stopped screaming, a gun aimed at Luffy, he shot, shot, and shot again, however, Luffy caught every single one with his hand.
"I can't die here, old man… I made a promise to Hancock and Rayleigh… "
And yet Byojack continued to shoot until his Barrel emptied, only clicks were heard as he continued to pull the trigger.
Luffy eyes deeply searched the old man and he only felt pity, he pulled his hoodie to hide his face, he then slowly walked away.
The room they were in started tearing down from the constant bombardment, it opened a hole that leads directly to the cannon, Byojack, the pitiful old frail man dropped his gun and stumbled towards it.
"Big brother they've kidnapped you, there is no way the World pirates are going to let that slide!" World raised Byojack and put him in his shoulder as they smiled to each other, full of brotherly affection and loyalty to each other.
Byojack reached the control of the cannon and unveiled it.
"Listen we are the Byrnndi brothers! anyone who has a problem step toward I will kick your ass, Baroro." A young World declared right in the middle of a bar as he clutched his frail older brother who was constantly being bullied closer to him, World wouldn't let them talk shit to his older brother.
He aimed the cannon and shot a huge cannon shell at the marine fleet.
"Can you see? The world is so large, World, you can't stay cooped up here in this tiny island, you've gotta sail and discover new adventures!" Byojack told his little brother, both brothers were in the coast seeing the blue horizon.
"Yes but what about you big brother?"
"I have been this way since I was born, I can't go with you," he pointed to his emaciated, frail body.
"Don't worry big brother, I'll take you with me, we'll see the world together! We're going to explore all this wide sea and seek the highest freedom big brother, don't worry I'll become strong in your stead!" World stated with a megawatt grin on his youthful face.
"But… "
"Don't worry I'll protect you with my life, I promise big brother! We'll see the end of this wide world with our own eyes, this is a promise of a lifetime!"
"World…" Byojack started to cry.
"don't cry, we are brothers, aren't we? Brothers always love each other, don't they?" World reached his hands and grabbed his brother's as they both started laughing and tears falling from their face.
"World… " Byojack watched the huge shell fly in the sky be bisected by a swordsman with a black coat and a golden cross in his chest.
"...Where did we go wrong?"
As he was falling to the ground, a large gash in his torso as chunks of the giant cannon was cut, his chest was bleeding fiercely, he would soon die and meet his brother again in the afterlife.
The bombardment continued as a giant meteor of magma hit Byojack's dead body burning it to ashes along with World and the three loyal crewmates.
XOX
The ship after some time exploded.
Hancock in the ship cried Luffy's name, her body white as a ghost, as she trembled with fear for her beloved.
However she immediately glowed with happiness as Luffy jumped from the smoke cloud, however, he was holding a Devil fruit in his hand, it was a greenish blackberry with never-ending swirls.
"Luffy! " she immediately gave him a bone breaking hug.
He returned it as she cried tears of happiness.
Her clothing was torn showing her taut stomach with her cute belly button, her hips were teasing his mind as it revealed part of her ass and almost reveals her most sacred place, her left underboob was also on display as he felt her softness on his hard chest, her right shoulder sleeve was cut showing off her cleavage, and to his point of view he could also see her pink pert nipples.
"Luffy… Thank you… For coming here with us to save both my sisters!" she melded in his strong arms, her soft voice gave him shivers.
"Well if you want to thank me, I can think of a few ways," He said with a husky voice as he licked her ear.
She blushed hard.
They all left.
XOX
The women were all partying, they've rescued both snake sisters, however during the party it was noted that Hancock and Luffy were sitting very close to each other, in fact their warm bodies were touching each other, after a battle high came to a lot of lists, and both had plenty to spend, they were both conquerors, their base desires were significantly amplified.
After Luffy ate his large fill he whispered to Hancock to lead them to their quarters, all the while groping her bubble butt, she meekly nodded.
LEMON WARNING
Both dropped on her large bed.
He kissed her with a fervor of a man possessed, he wanted that sweet flavor in his mouth again, Hancock was also very needy, in fact, she threw his tank top away, they quickly stumbled across the bed, as Hancock threw his shorts away, and Luffy with his rough hands slid her dress off, this was the day they would take each other's virginity.
He took her mouth good as saliva started dropping from their mouth, their hot bodies getting sweaty, Luffy grabbed her huge tits and just played with her, all the while licking her ears or biting her neck, drawing moans of pleasure and pain.
Her tiny hands were tracing his back muscles and soon reached his toned ass giving a squeeze, his giant pole throbbed, it was rested right on her stomach, the fat mushroom rested right under her massive breast, that thing was absolutely huge, his precum was spurting wetting her stomach, her most precious place was already leaking, making a wet spot on the bed.
"Luffy! Please, I'm burning — can't you do something?" She moaned loudly, her body was getting so hot from this it was abnormal.
"Yes~" He grabbed her thigh moving her body up to the bed, his face was now right in her creamy thighs, he licked her tiny pussy drawing wanton moans, he continued to plunge his tongue into her while he put one of his fingers in her ass and one stimulating her whole clitoris, her hands ran through his smooth hair as her legs couldn't help but hug her beloved, after a minutes she came loudly, her juices drenching his face.
"Please! More~"
He petted her head a bit, in her lust she started licking his face, getting all of her juices, while Luffy grabbed her body by her thighs, he was in a sitting position, his cock was pointing at her entrance, he grabbed her waist and slowly started desperately pushing his way into her tiny opening that was dripping juices down his pole, after a few moments of trying he got its head in, the entrance swelled like an O to accommodate his girth as she orgasmed from him just entering.
"what is this?" Boa asked, her eyes unfocused.
"Oh, you don't know? This is sex, my dear, the thing down there is my cock, it goes right into your pussy." He held her by her ass while whispering. "Don't they teach it in amazon lily? I guess you are pretty innocent then."
"Please! Put your thing in, we can't stay like this! " He gladly obliged as his cock scraped her inner walls while penetrating her hymen, however, she barely felt it as she had high pain tolerance, her mind was only focused on pleasure, his toll then hit her cervix as she came again and again, or was it just a huge orgasm? She did not know, however when she looked down, she could see the cylindrical outline of her stomach, and she came again, screaming, there were still remaining inches off his cock-meat outside of her.
"You are so tight!" hesank into her tight love tunnel. It was gushing obscenely, fluids still dripping down his length, Hancock's walls were practically trying to choke his dick until it drowned in a squirming, writhing, wet pit of ecstasy…
Hancock's face was of pure bliss, she could not speak anymore, she could only moan writhe and scream, he pushed one last time as her cervix gave in, his penis hit the back of her womb, the giant fathead occupied her uterus completely, her bubble but was now resting on his balls and lap.
Now, buried completely in her pussy, Luffy tried to move, but he found that her vagina was holding his penis in a vice-grip. He had to raise her waist to move as her walls were stroked by his incredible length, her first orgasm never really ending as multiple others made their way.
With only his head inside of her he started thrusting and spearing into her, as she drooled, her tongue was out of her control as her eyes rolled on the back of her head as he reshaped her walls to his liking, he picked her up from the bed by her thighs, he stood up her body perched with him and he truly started to fuck her, her breast flailed wildly mushing with his chest.
He did smack-smack-smack of his enormous testicles slapping against Hancock's ass.
"Look at the empress of Amazon lily" Luffy taunted as he pounded in and out of her. "Nothing but a slut begging for my cock!"
Hancock continued to scream, spit flying out of her mouth and foam spouting at her lips.
They've gathered an audience as Hancock's room did not have a door, her screams and moans were heard all over the ship, outside, the Snake sisters, Margaret and the others and the Kuja warriors could only watch as Luffy did a strange ritual with their princess, however, everyone had their hands furiously masturbating at the sight, all of their thighs had cum running down.
He positioned himself in front of the amazons while gyrating his cock, now her back was in his chest as he proudly displayed the Empress's naked body to her warriors while carefully hiding her back from the viewers, his cock hardened even more from the voyeurism as he started walking forward while pumping her again, his hands on her thigh lifting her body, her boobs jiggling up and down as he moved, he gave a great sight of her pussy lips witch formed a giant O , while her juices fell down on his cock or disappeared into her ass crack he arrived at the door where his stunned viewers were, they were all on their knees stuffing their own pussies with their fingers, he gave them a close look of him spearing their empress's tiny lower lips.
After twenty minutes of multiple orgasms, the moment finally came.
"I'm cumming!" his 'balls of gold' pulsed and continued to pulse, And his shaft seemed to recoil like a cannon several times as he fired what seemed to be liters of his cum inside her precious place, however her tiny entrance and womb could not hold so much as it spurted out, the pressure pulled his cock out of her while it spurted a few more shots on the faces of the Amazons.
His pole was drenched with their lovemaking, in his high he looked at them.
"Lick it clean!" He commanded, it wasn't long before they took turns in polishing his tool, he still held the blissful Hancock as if it was the most precious thing, after being cleaned, he ushered everyone out, carrying Hancock close to him in bridal style.
He embraced the naked Hancock, he pulled the sheets over them as the night continued as a sleeping bubble grew out of his nose, Hancock resting her head on his chest, smiled stunningly.
XOX
Two months after Luffy's battle with World.
"Luffy-kun I've taught everything I could, there is nothing more to teach you… what will you do now?" Rayleigh observed his student as he played with two devil fruits in his hand.
"Hm…." Luffy was observing the fruit he got two months back from World's island ship, he found it in their forest when he was fleeing, it was strange, the blood of World's splashed on a normal berry and it suddenly transformed into a devil fruit with the powers of the late World no doubt.
"I've already told you, the fruit always reforms after the user dies, in fact, we found the fruit Rubber in Amazon Lily, it's in their treasury now, if you just ask Hancock—"
"I don't want it — I ate it by accident orignally, it's time for a rebirth!" Luffy declared.
"I see..." Rayleigh eyed the other fruit in Luffy's right hand,
Rayleigh didn't know what the red fruit was, while the other was the fruit of More, one of the strongest paramecia types, one capable of destroying the world, an exponential rise in one's body and abilities was ludicrous to think, World was unimaginative with it, he could have done much more.
Luffy found a blood-red fruit while exploring.
"Luffy-kun" Rayleigh grabbed his bag.
"I'll return to Saobondy… remember Haki opens up three different paths, each path to branch out… you'll definitely find people in the new world with unbelievable Haki, but it doesn't mean you can't achieve the same, like I said before… you'll only grow stronger, if you fight people stronger than you..." He started to leave.
Luffy remembered Teach having 2 Fruits, so he will have too.
