Last time on Dragon Ball Z Kai Goku used the mighty spirit bomb against the tyrant frieza-Whoa whoa whoa hold on we're not there yet- I mean last time a bunch of people from Remnant were summoned by a powerful deity who wasn't from their realm and this "Vuk" made them watch a world where the era was an age for pirates!

The Remnantians were seeing the Great Pirate Era and met a boy name Luffy. Straw hat is a rubber person and is looking for a strong crew! So join in on the adventure on the grand line. The story continues now!

Everyone was chatting about they saw. Team CFVY and others got updated about Salem and her attack on Atlas. Weiss and Winter both woke up from the first viewing.

"Oh good you're awake Weiss." Ruby said. Winter was greeted by Penny and Pietro. They hear footsteps and it's was Vuk and his hungry pets. "Alright are you people ready to continue?" He asked.

Yang raised her hand and Vuk notice and he sigh knowing what she was going to ask. "Yes flaming angry girl?" He asked. Her family and her team snickered at her nickname. "Where's Raven?" She asked. Everyone stopped talking and looks at Yang. "That's a question I wanted to avoid answering. Just follow me and you'll get your answer." Vuk says.

Yang gets up from her chair and Vuk shows the way. "If any of you dare follow me or the girl. Then you will have an experience worse than death. Heaven sky dragon, make sure that they don't break anything." Vuk's dragon nods and watches everyone. The younger audience is scared of being watched by a deity's pet.

Vuk and Yang were walking in the main hall. Vuk never like the silence. To him it's like other deities are mocking him. "Yang, why do you care for her? If I remember correctly you said your real mother was Summer Rose and not Raven to Salem. So why?" He asked.

Yang sighed hoping she would avoid something like this. "I know I said something bad to her when I left and I know that she left me because she was scared about Salem. But I want to see how she is doing." Vuk ponders for a moment and sees that maybe Raven can be redeemed but only time will time.

They made it to the healing chamber and they see Raven, Cinder, and Salem inside their own healing tank but the hole on their chest that they got from Vuk was healing slowly. "Well here is the "mighty" Raven and others." Vuk says.

"Why did you say Raven and others? Couldn't at least said their names?" Yang asked the deity. "Well you see yang... I don't give a flying fuck about them. I mean Cinder and Salem didn't do a single shit until like Beacon fell and so forth. Well technically they were hiding and doing stuff but I stop caring a long time ago." He says.

"I mean you do have a point there." Yang admitted.

"Now go make peace with your... huh I was going to say mother but... I would say your adult twin version of you but... The thing that gave birth to you. Yeah, that was it." Vuk said as he looks away.

"I'm going to ignore that part about what you said about her." Yang tells Vuk.

Yang walks infront of Raven's tank. She places her hand on the glass.

"I don't know if you can hear me but you brought this upon yourself Raven but hopefully you can get a second chance." Yang says. Vuk leans on the side of the wall. "A certain watcher asked me if they can be redeemed because "it" thinks Cinder will know freedom and Raven will know to not abandon someone again or some shit. As for Salem... She will know true torture and death." Vuk said.

"What a watcher?" Yang questioned Vuk. "Don't worry about it. Now go back to the others." Yang leaves Vuk alone. She goes back to where the rest are.

"You may come out Tyrian." He says as Tyrian comes out of the shadow. Tyrian tries to hit the powerful being but Vuk rips out his both arms. Vuk picks him up. "I'm gonna tear you in half now." He says as he rips him off in two pieces.

Tyrian screamed in pain. Vuk begins to giggle and then a haunting laugh. "Oh poor stupid Tyrian. Even you can't be this fucking stupid. Though I suppose this ain't the original you. After all, like a good person or rather a mad creature said multiverse theory is a bitch! And I told you, there are worse fates than death if you follow us. Don't worry I'll put you in a healing tank so be a good boy and stay quite but if you defy me again. I will rip off that metal tail." He said. Tyrian nods in fear.

Vuk puts Tyrian and his other half in a healing tank and closes it and leaves the healing chamber. Vuk goes to his trophy room and places the eternal pose with his other stuffs.

Vuk went back to with his audience. Everyone heard footsteps and it was Vuk holding a bottle. "So any other questions before we start." Ozpin raised his hand and Du noticed. "Yes Wizard?" Ozpin knew why he called him that but he really needs an answer. "Does Luffy ever come to our world?" Ozpin asked the deity. Vuk was quiet at first because he really didn't want to answer to Ozpin.

"Luffy doesn't ever go to your world and never will. It's forbidden." Vuk tells Ozpin. He was lying because it has happen before a crossover of two worlds becoming one but it usually never gets finished.

"I see." Ozpin muttered. Vuk sits down on his seat. "No more questions because we're starting where we left Luffy and Coby!"  Vuk tells them.

The screen transitioned to a boat in the dark. It was night time and it shows the boys are sleeping peaceful. The sun came back and they were still out at sea. Luffy was sitting up on the figurehead of the little boat while Coby held onto the sail.

"What great weather!" Luffy called out, stretching out and breathing in the salty air.

"If we keep going this way, we should reach the navy base island soon!" Coby told him, looking happier than they had seen him yet.

"Wow, Coby! You're amazing!" Luffy said, looking back at him with a grin, "We're actually gonna reach our destination?"

"Why does he sound so surprised?" Summer questioned. "You would think he would have some learning skill of navigation," Blake said while rolling her eyes.

"At least we're not greedy thieves like some people I could mention," Sun stated. Emerald and Neo and Roman felt an invisible arrow hit them in the chest.

Vuk mediates and does some meth but makes sure no one notices him.

"But of course! These are the bare minimum skills are sailors need!" Coby answered as Luffy laughed up on the figurehead.

"This is no time to be laughing, Luffy-san." Coby scolded him, fixing his glasses as Luffy gazed back at him.

"He's being held prisoner there. The famous pirate hunter... Roronoa Zoro!" Coby said. The screen changed into a moss green hair guy slashing someone down. "The man who's chopped up bounties like a bloodthirsty beast... People say he's a demon in human form!" Coby finished.

"Holy shit!" Coco screamed in fear. Every faunus in the theater room felt the fear and death coming from the pirate hunter.

"I-I'm scared." Velvet is shaking in fear and she hugs Fox in fear and he pats her head. Vernal was interested in this Zoro character and how he used his swords. Watts, Oobleck, and Port began to write new info on their notebook.

"W-What the hell he can't be a human." Sienna told herself. Blake was being comforted by Ruby, Weiss, and Yang. The faunus finally calmed down and continue to watch the screen.

"Demon?" Luffy repeated, looking back to the sea, shielding his eyes against the sun as he looked for any signs of an island. "Sounds cool!"

"How could you think being a demon is cool?" Coby demanded fearfully.

Luffy was so full of energy, he was causing the boat to rock back and forth dangerously, and Coby had to cling to the side to keep them from tipping. But Luffy didn't notice as they kept getting going. Once they were close enough, they could get a good look at the Marine Base. The island was made up of tall cliffs, and the town was built right into it. At the top stood the Base, towering over them all, and separated by a wall that was much smaller.

"So that's the island where this zoro guy is being held at?" Jaune asked in surprise. "It looks kinda spectacular." Nora says as everyone else thought so too.

"It's not impressive as atlas but it looks nice." Oscar muttered. Oscar stayed closed to Vuk and he felt safe being next to him even though he still got beat up from Hazel and Salem.

"WOW!" Luffy cried out, eyes wide, "It's so big!"

Coby was staring up at the Marine Base, his own eyes bright and as big as coins as he stared up in wonderment.

"We made it!" Luffy cried out happily, now jumping up and down as Coby quickly tied the boat up himself, and followed after him. "The navy base city!"

"Did he even react about Zoro!?" Winter shouted out in disbelieve. "From what we saw so far, Luffy don't listen to reason when his mind is made up." Summer said back as they all slowly turn to Yang as she started saying. "What? I don't do that!"

"Yang, you do that whenever you decide to do things... Most of the time." Tai told her.

He got you there firecracker." Qrow says as he laughs. Yang started mumbling how everyone is being unfair.

The two through the crowded market, wondering just when and how they would meet up with Zoro.

"Seriously, Luffy-san! You're crazy to want him to join you!" Coby told him.

Coby was still trying to convince Luffy of all of the reasons why he shouldn't recruit the swordsman even if he did find him.

But Luffy wasn't listening to coby as he looked at the food. "I still haven't decided yet. I just wanna see if he's a good guy..." Luffy confessed.

"He's been caught because he's a bad guy!" Coby screamed out, stopping dead and yelling in the street.

"I think he was arrested because he's a bad guy." Blake said to herself as they just heard coby say the same similar words. "Not a single word." Blake said as she knew she's sensing a smirk on Yang's face.

"Now let's see if this Zoro dangerous as Coby said." Ironwood muttered as he is leaning in.

"I wonder how strong Zoro is?" Pyrrha asked as her team shrugged having no idea.

"I wonder if he is stylish." Coco said as she wonders what zoro will wear when he is shown.

Luffy got himself a pear. He took a bite. "Mm! Yum!" Luffy paid for his snack. "Do you know if Zoro's at the base?" Luffy asked a man.

As if he spoke a curse, they all jumped back in fear, terror on each and every one of their faces. "It would seem the name "Zoro" is taboo here..." Coby whispered to Luffy.

Naturally, Luffy paid no attention as he set off again, Coby right on his heels. "Well, let's check out the base anyway." he went on as if nothing happened, "You're gonna be a marine right?"

"Y-Yes... But I'm not really ready yet..." Coby said timid. "Rumor has it... a guy named Captain Morgan is at this base, and..." He finished. But the words were no sooner out of his mouth and townspeople who heard, leapt away in alarm once again—just like they did when Zoro's name was mentioned.

"Huh?" Yatsuhashi asked, looking confused.

"Now everyone's freaking out about this Morgan guy?" Sun asked in surprise. Just say a name in this town and the people freak.

"I wonder maybe this so called captain Morgan did something that he shouldn't." Pietro said as everyone tried to figure what Morgan did.

"Let's just continue to watch the show or universe." Ozpin told everyone.

"What a funny town!" Luffy laughed as he walked on. "It's strange... I understand zoro, but why are they afraid of a navy captain's name?" Coby asked, now looking completely lost. "I suddenly feel uneasy about this..."

"You sure they didn't jump just for fun?" Luffy asked Coby.

"Nobody would do that!" Coby shouted.

They stood at the entrance of the navy base. "Alright! This's the place!" Luffy said.

"Really I couldn't tell?" Qrow said sarcastically, as the screen showed the Marine's symbol on the front door.

"The technology might not be that advanced since it but it is educational to see old weapons in action." Winter commented.

"How will the marines handle Luffy?" Glynda questioned.

"I'm finally here!" Coby said with tears in his eyes.

"I guess this is where we part ways, Luffy-san." Coby says as he wipes his tears away but more tears fall. "It was only for a short time, but..."

"Upsy-daisy!" Luffy said as he is climbing up the wall and looking over at the area.

Luffy-san! What in the world are you doing?!" Coby screamed at him to get down.

"Now where's this demon?!" Luffy asked cheerfully, still looking around.

"And he's already causing trouble," Neo stated.

"Well, he wouldn't be a pirate if he wasn't," Sage sighed.

"He's the only person I know who would be happy at the thought of meeting a demon," Scarlet said exasperated.

"He seems too excited." Robyn stated as she sighed.

"He wouldn't be out here." Coby said as he felt a sweatdrop, "I'm sure he's in a prison cell or something..."

"There he is!" Luffy exclaimed in excitement as he jumped off the wall and ran to the other end of the base. "Alright!" Coby was following Luffy.

The screen shows a man wearing a bandana under the hot sun.

Luffy had jumped up to the wall much farther around and was leaning over the edge to look at something in the yard. "See! There he is!" Luffy said.

"Yeah, right! He wouldn't be out-" Coby gasped as he looked out.

The man was tied to a cross-shaped post in the center of the yard with the hot sun beating down on him... he was filthy, and looked exhausted as he hung there... very thin with his black bandana overshadowing his eyes so that no one couldn't see his expression. Though weak and obviously starved, they could sense that there was something very dangerous about this man.

The audience felt unease when they heard the dramatic music when it zoomed in on the man.

"Does anyone else feels a little scared or intimated?" Neptune asked as Ruby, Velvet, and Oscar, and a few others raised their hands.

The adults weren't trying to show it but they felt cold when they saw Zoro. "Just by staring at him makes me feel unease and little fear." Oobleck said as Port and Ozpin both nod at his response.

Qrow just quietly sip from his flask and he felt someone putting their hand on his shoulder and it was Robyn was comforting him.

"What the hell was that? No human should be radiating this much killer instinct." Ilia told herself.

'A black hood and a haramaki... That's Roronoa Zoro!' Coby told himself. Coby was shaking in fear.

"He can get away easy if we untie those ropes!" Luffy told Coby. "D-Don't be stupid!" Coby yelled in fear. "There's no telling what'll happen if we let loose! I bet he's try to kill you too, Luffy-san!"

"Don't worry, I'm strong!" Luffy said unconcerned. 'I can't believe this guy!' Coby was crying, obviously thinking that Luffy lost his mind.

The younger audience laughed at the shark teeth Coby had. Weiss face palmed when she heard Luffy say that.

"But why is he sticking around?" Fox said. "All he has to do was cut those ropes and he'd be free!"

"Do you see his weapons?" Jaune asked.

"But he still could've escaped," Ren said, unable to believe that these ropes would be enough to hold a swordsman back.

Zoro sensed that he was being watched and looked up to see through to the wall where Luffy and Coby were.

"Hey, you guys." The man growled at them, clearly irritated. His eyes were exhausted, but they still glared fiercely up at them, hearing Coby squeal in fear. "You're an eyesore. Get lost!"

"Luffy-san! There's no way you could survive with him on your crew!" Coby cried out. He begged Luffy to just leave.

Then a latter suddenly appeared and a young girl climb up.

"Wow I actually like Zoro's voice." Winter mumbled as she loves the sound of it. Ruby and Wiess blushed but Penny looked confused at her friends' reactions.

"Wow harsh isn't he." Coco remarked as Winter's blush went down.

"What is she doing?" Penny asked.

"Who's that?" Pyrrha asked, and everyone, looked back to see a girl.

She was a cute little girl with big black eyes and her brown hair tied back with pigtails as she looked to Luffy and Coby. She put a finger to her lips, silently telling them to be quiet as she glanced around cautiously and lowered a rope down the other side and climbed down.

Coby had been so stunned, that it wasn't until she had reached the ground on the other side did he snap out of it. "Oh no! Stop her, Luffy-san!" He screamed. "She'll be killed!" She ran to Zoro, holding a tiny package to her chest.

"What?"

She held up the wrapped package and began to untie it.

"You must be hungry! I made some rice balls!" The girl told him.

Summer jaw drop as she saw her running towards Zoro. "Is she trying to get hurt!?" Summer shouted as they hear Coby trying to tell to Luffy to stop her. "He's tied up remember." Qrow said.

'So cute!' Glynda thought as she looks at the girls' smiling face.

Vuk drinks his red wine as he some meth dust on his nose but he hopes that his guest can learn something from this world.

Khan purrs at seeing the young girl.

"She's a good kid." Neo said as she smiles.

"A good kid whose gonna get into trouble." Torchwick whispered.

"Do you wanna get killed, pipsqueak? Scram!" Zoro told the girl bluntly.

"But you haven't eaten anything the whole time." the girl said persistently as held up the two rice balls for him. "Here! This my first time," she went on so that he could see them, "but I worked really hard to make them!"

"I ain't hungry!" He tells her. "You're an eyesore! Get the hell outta here!"

"But..." she started and Zoro seemed to lose his temper.

"Don't make me kick your ass!" he yelled at her.

Penny made a fist at what Zoro said. To others, the way he said it might seem mean. But really it seems like he is trying to get her away from there. 'Something doesn't seem right. But what is it?' Penny thought.

"Something doesn't seem right." Velvet mumbled as Ilia gets up from her chair walks over and asks. "What do you mean?"

"I get it." Ruby said as everyone looks at her. "Zoro isn't being rude to the little girl. But remember when Coby said the captain's name and the people freaked out. Maybe zoro doesn't want the little girl to be punished because of him."

"It ain't nice to be a bully!" A voice said as the gates opened.

"You seem surprisingly well, Roronoa Zoro..." the voice came from a skinny and lanky-looking young man with light blond hair shaped like an oval on top of his head coming towards them. He had a smug smile on his face as he tugged at the collar of his shirt—acting as if he owned the town.

"Now there's another weird guy!" Luffy said.

"Thank goodness! He must be with the navy! Now that girl will be safe!" Coby said smiling.

"Oh? Those are some tasty-looking rice balls." The rich scumbag says as he snatched on up and took a big bite out of it.

"Stop!" The little girl yelled.

"Oh great a snobby rich kid." Mercury said in disgust. He always hated when someone orders everyone around just because they got some extra liens in their pockets. Weiss turned her head embarrassed as she remembers her being like that to Ruby at the start of Beacon. She might be rude sometimes but that just for her stupid father.

Emerald chuckled in agreement, that guy does look weird. The students felt pissed and wanted to beat up the scumbag. The adults tried to keep their rage under control.

Vuk does something to relief some stress. He felt relax and didn't want to deal with answering stupid questions.

The blonde rich boy stopped and made a face of disgust as he spit it out. "Too damn sweet!" The blonde guy said.

"Those're full of sugar!" he screamed dropping the rest of the food to the ground. "You're supposed to use salt for rice balls!" He told the little girl.

"But I thought they might taste better sweet..." she said, blinking in surprise, not really understanding what she did wrong.

"Take this! And this!" the rich boy knocked the other ball to the ground and stomped it into the dirt.

"Stop! Stop!" the girl pleaded, trying to grab it, but couldn't get close without her risking her fingers getting stomped on.

"H-How horrible!" Coby says.

The girl sat there on the ground staring at it, tears welling up in her eyes. "And I worked so hard to make those..." she choked out.

Ruby began shaken up as she can't believe a Marine, from what she heard before, was propose to be the police force of the world.

"That's terrible!" Tai yelled, his heart going out to that little girl.

"He's the only bully around here," Hazel agreed, looking like he wanted nothing more than to have a few words with that jerk. When he finally stopped destroying the food, they looked to see nothing but a pile of rice and mud with a giant shoeprint on it.

And then Jaune was burning in rage when hearing those words only served to make Jaune even angrier than before, making him long to break this guy's face in.

"While it may not have the same taste as a normal rice ball would, it would still have been good to eat," Sienna said darkly, furious that anyone would disrespect food like that in front of the one who worked to make it. To throw away food they worked so hard to prepare. Putting sugar in a rice ball was minimal compared to some of the mistakes that he made! At least a sweet rice ball could still be enjoyed. She could tell that this girl put her heart and soul into making this food for a starving man, and not only that, but they were her first rice balls. And to see them treated like garbage must truly felt like a slap in the face for her.

The rich boy sighed, looking like he couldn't have cared less for her feelings as he took out a piece of paper from his jacket. "Did you not read this notice? 'Those who help criminals will be executed! Signed by Navy Captain Morgan'."

The girl turned pale and looked up at him in fear as they all glared at him.

"Looks like even little brats know how scary my dad is!" He said cockily.

"Dad?" Luffy's voice repeated.

"Then that's Captain Morgan's son?!" Coby repeated in astonishment.

"You. Throw this kid out." The captain's son ordered as he turned towards one of his men.

"Sir?!" The soldier suddenly stepped back, looking terrified at the order. When he didn't move, the captain's son grabbed him by the front of his shirt and yelled, "I said throw her over the wall! Or can you not follow my orders?! Don't make me tell my dad!"

"Y-Yes, sir! Right away!" the marine stuttered as he walked towards the girl.

And from there everyone understood. The town's people weren't afraid of Zoro, but were afraid of Morgan punishing them for even thinking Zoro's name.

"This... This isn't right." Oscar said to himself as his hands is covering his eyes making nobody to see what he looks like right now. And right now that is scary in itself.

"That doesn't mean that he can go around and treat people like this!" Port cried out furiously, wishing that he could comfort the girl.

"But didn't he say that they'd be executed?" Watts stated, suddenly anxious for the little girl. "She did try to feed Zoro."

"What?!" Neo cried out fearfully, "you don't think that he'd...?"

"He'd have no honor as a man if he does something like that to a child!" Oobleck cried out, his hand on his sword.

"He doesn't," Ren growled. "Though he was a jerk, I don't think he'd go that far..."

No one even made a remark about that info as all of them are too angry at him. 'This is just like the White Fang!' Pietro loudly thought in his head.

"That snobby bastard, just because you are the captain's son. You have no right..." Sun angrily said.

Winter was angry at the snob kid.

"NO!" The little girl yelled as the solider came closer to her.

"I'm sorry, little girl. Curl yourself into a ball." The soldier picked the girl gently up and quietly told her as he tossed her over.

But Luffy jumped, stretching out his arms, he grabbed her and held her tightly as they both hit the ground hard.

"T-Thanks..." The little girl thanking Luffy who smiles at her. Coby jumped down and ran over to them. "Are you alright, Luffy-san?" He asked.

"Are you all right?!" Coby asked the girl. The girl didn't say anything but she was shaking in fear.

"I can't believe how horrible that guy is! Did you get hurt anywhere?!" Coby said. Luffy put his straw hat back on.

"Damn you..." Zoro told the captain's son.

"You sure are stubborn about staying alive." he said.

"Yeah! I will live the full month!" Zoro snarled at him.

This only caused the captain's son to laugh again. "Well, good luck with that." he sneered as he walked away.

The audience's anger is back when they saw the captain's son smug grin again.

"I want to break his legs!" Nora shouted as her team tried to calm her down.

"You're not only one who wants to break his legs Nora." Velvet with an angry tone. Her team was shocked at velvet but they were angry as well.

Glynda wanted to beat the captain's son with her crop. Port almost broke his coffee mug.

Tai was hoping to punch the bastard's face as he cracks his knuckles. Qrow was hoping to slick the smug prick in half.

The rest wanted to jump on the captain's son and kick his ass and captain morgan as well.

"Ten days left, you know!" Zoro called after the captain's son.

"Assuming you can live that long!" The bastard replied smugly as he left the prison yard.

"How can be so cruel, Luffy-san?!" Coby asked Luffy but there was no answer. Coy looked around and couldn't find luffy.

"He's gone?!" Coby said.

Luffy was gone and went over the wall see what was happening now.

Luffy who was standing directly in front of Zoro. They both looked hard at each other, as if sizing each other up.

Neptune gulped at their staring contest. It was as if a small bug watching two beasts staring down at each other before goes at it.

"I do wonder what's going through Zoro's mind." Oobleck asked himself.

"I feel slightly frighten if these two fought but it probably won't happened." Scarlet commented.

"Roronoa will probably say no." Belladonna says as her anger went down as did everyone else.

"So, I hear you're a bad guy." Luffy finally said, breaking the silence.

"Are you still here?" Zoro asked in a bored and irritated tone, clearly telling him to get lost.

"Being stuck out here for all to see... Are you really strong at all?!" Luffy asked bluntly.

"Mind your own business!" Zoro snapped as Luffy sighed and moved closer, still looking over him curiously.

"If it were me, I'd probably starve to death in three days!" Luffy said as he suddenly smiled.

"I got more spirit than you; I will live through this... I swear it!" Zoro retorted, giving him an evil smirk.

Luffy just shook his head as he turned. "What a strange person!" he said, about to leave. But as he took a few steps away...

"Wait!" Zoro shouted suddenly to call him back.

Zoro gazed down at the rice ball, "Could you pick that up for me?" He asks for Luffy to pick it up for him.

Looking surprised at the request, Luffy did so, picking up what was left of it.

"You're gonna eat this?" Luffy asked, looking over the rice, and picking out a few small pebbles. "It's mostly a mud ball now."

"Just shut up and give it here!" Zoro shouted impatiently, not sounding like his usual calm tone that he was using before. Luffy stared at him, but he threw it into his mouth. At once, Zoro swallowed every bit of it, choking on the mud and dirt.

"Doesn't seem like zoro will listen to you luffy." Yang said to herself.

The next thing surprised the entire audience of what Zoro did.

They saw and smile when they saw Zoro eat the dirty onigiri and even tell Luffy to tell the girl that it was delicious even with him coughing.

"Seems like Coby got mixed up." Summer said more cheered up then before as the others nod their heads.

"Oh he does have a soft spot..." Jaune said, feeling touched by the scene, his hand over his chest.

"Told you so." Luffy said as Zoro composed himself.

"It was good." Zoro whispered, as his voice had gratitude as he said, "Tell her, thanks for the food."

Luffy's eyes suddenly softened and he was smiling in an oddly kind way... as if seeing something that no one else could see.

And that was when the scene shows what looked like an alley with Luffy and Coby sitting with the same girl. Luffy had just sat down on a barrel.

"Really?!" The girl said in surprise as her eyes wide with happiness.

"Yeah! He ate every last bite!" He told her how Zoro ate her food.

"I'm so happy!" She says as she cried out.

"So what's your name anyway?" Luffy asked her.

"Rika." She said.

"Well we now have a name for little kid." Vernal mentioned as she leans on her chair.

"I think it's a good name for her." Robyn says.

"Still can't believe that rich boy can do whatever hell he wants just because his father scares the people. It makes me angry just thinking about it!" Nora yelled.

"Miss Valkyrie calm down!" Goodwitch told her as she herself tried to be relaxed again.

"Is Zoro really as evil as the rumors say?" Coby said softly to himself, stunned by what Luffy had just told him.

"No!" Rika defended loudly, looking angry for half a second before she looked down at her hand, "After all, he let himself get crucified in our place..." She finished.

"Huh?" Luffy was confused. "What do you mean?" He asked what she was talking about.

"It's all that Helmeppo's fault. He's Captain Morgan's son..." Rika said.

"Helmeppo?" Ruby asked.

"That must be the rich douchebag name." Yang said.

"Oh okay."

"That is a stupid name." Mercury laughs.

"It kinda sounds dumb." Emerald stated.

A flashback shows about almost a month ago, Helmeppo had owned a vicious dog that he brought with him everywhere as it terrorized the whole town. "Outta the way!" He says as the people run from fear.

"Make way for my adorable pet-sama!" The vicious dog barked at the people.

"Get in the way, and you get executed!" Helmeppo tells them with a cocky grin.

The dog entered her mother's restaurant and started scaring everyone, "No! Stop that!" Rika said as she had enough and tried to get rid of it herself with a broom.

"Hey, you! You gonna complain about what my pet-sama's doin'?!" Helmeppo said.

"Rika! Stop that!" Rika's mother telling her to stop.

"She has to listen to her mother if she wants to survive." Ironwood stated.

The audience's anger came back as they saw a feral beast just scaring the people. To afraid to either get eaten by a wolf or getting executed by Helmeppo.

"That little piece of..." Tai said in an anger tone.

"Two punches is all I need to kick Helmeppo's ass." Hazel says as he clenches his fist.

"He doesn't deserve to live." Emerald responds.

"We'll get in trouble if we go against him!" Rika's mother told her.

That was when the animal tried to kill her... however; she was saved by Zoro, who just happened to have been in there enjoying a meal. He killed the hound and continue to eat his meal.

"Oh, crap!" A guy said.

"He's in trouble now!" Some other person said.

"Who the hell are you?!" Helmeppo asked the swordsman.

"Don't tell me you're... pirate hunter Zoro?" Helmeppo gets closer to Zoro.

"And if I am?" Zoro asked Helmeppo.

"Why is a pirate hunter defying the navy?" Helmeppo ask

"Just shut up and let me eat in peace!" Zoro said as he continues to eat his meal.

"Why, you..." Helmeppo tries to slash Zoro but the swordsman dodges it and he kicks the sword up and it hits the ceiling. Zoro punches Helmeppo in the face and the bastard hits the bar.

Sienna snarled at Helmeppo's terrorizing but she has standards. The students get angry again. And as for Ruby... "Why?" They all looked Ruby's sad face. "Why would he do this? Why make the people suffer? How do the Marines even allow people like them into their ranks?" The adults were saddened by Ruby's words.

"I didn't think that they would be low enough to do something like that." Weiss said.

"Helmeppo deserves that punch." Fox muttered as he enjoys having his vision back.

"Take that dipshit!" Sage shouted.

"I'm glad that Helmeppo is getting his ass kick." Yatsuhashi smirked.

Zoro drew his sword at Helmeppo. "You're annoying me. Both you and your pet-sama!" Zoro tells him.

"You do realize that if my dad finds out about this, they're gonna get executed for sure!" Helmeppo says.

"Whadya say? Let's make a deal!"

"You get strung up in place of this mother and daughter! For, yeah, one month... If you can survive for one month, I'll let you live, too. Whadya say?" Helmeppo said.

"One month." Zoro respond.

The flashback scene ends.

But that frustration slowly came back when they hear how Helmeppo's deal.

"Damn, if he is real. I would kick his ugly ass with style." Sun said as he almost breaks his chair.

"Zoro must gotten tortured by that idiot or worse..." Neptune answered, feeling an odd sense of respect for Zoro.

Emerald felt bad for Rika because Zoro took the blame for her.

"I'm hoping that luffy sends Helmeppo flying like he did to Alvida." Ilia said with a wicked smile on her face.

"For once white fang member, I agree with you." Winter said, looking at her.

"It's been three weeks since then. Helmeppo punches and kicks him while he's tied up!" Rika said, sounding upset.

"I... I..." she started to cry. She couldn't even finish her words because she felt so bad for letting Zoro take the blame.

"I see..." Coby whispered, as all this sunk in. Like his dreams of becoming a brave Marine were shriveling up as they spoke.

There were crashes going on inside the building behind them. Rika's eyes were wide and she went running in, her mother. It was a comfortable-looking little restaurant inside, and there was a woman who looked a lot like Rika, who could only be her mother, was standing behind the bar. She was looking fearfully at Helmeppo who had sat down and put his table up on the table, messing up a bowl of fruit.

"I'm hungry! Let us all eat for free!" He called obnoxiously.

"Hey! Bring me some booze!"

And there was the orange haired girl just a few tables away. She was sitting there with a glass of wine in her hands as she listened in to him.

"Quit dawdling! Hurry it up!" Helmeppo order Rika's mother.

"That piece of shit," Ironwood snarled, shaking but he stops and realizes he's been doing the same thing when he planned to bomb Mantle. 'Am I a bad person?' James thought but he vanished and no one notice but the deity. He smiles and holds a white orb that represents the general's soul. "You just need a little rest. "And redemption as well." Vuk says.

"Look it's that girl again." Wiess raise an eyebrow. Weiss begins to think about it. She first appeared in the first part and right now. 'She is either a future crew member of luffy or one of those characters that will never show up again.' Weiss thought in her mind.

"Who is this lady? Is she important?" Ren questioned to himself.

"Luffy better punch Helmeppo very hard." Hazel commented as he cracks his neck.

"So she survived it out of that attack." Penny comments.

Luffy and Coby enter the building. Helmeppo just laughed as they poured him some wine, turning the attention back on him. "Oh, yes. I've been bored lately," he told them all, and that was when he dropped the bombshell. "So, I've decided to execute Zoro tomorrow. Look forward to it!"

"HE'S WHAT?" Jaune screamed out in panic.

"That jerk!" Summer also yelled. "Three weeks and he's just going to kill him off?!"

"After everything he did, he was just going to break his promise just like that?" Port asked him at once.

Port shrugged. "There's always a chance he was just joking, but I highly doubt that," he answered.

"He wouldn't joke about something like this," Robyn sighed. "He honestly means it."

"He has no honor as a man!" Tai yelled heatedly, "To go back on his word like that!"

"Now he is going too far!" Ruby shouted out as the others looked at Ruby. "They are trying to protect the people, right? But all their doing is striking fear! They are no better than the pirates. No, they are not any better than the Grimm!"

Luffy's eyes turned dangerous. And then instinctively, he went charging ahead, and before anyone else could tell what happened, Luffy punched him so hard that he was sent flying across the room and smacked against the wall.

"W-What the hell're you doing!?" Helmeppo demanded as he grabbed his swollen cheek, sitting up, unable to believe it.

But it was clear that Luffy was far from done, he moved forward, looking ready to give him another attack—and probably would have if Coby hadn't run over and restrained him. But knowing how strong Luffy was, they knew that he could've easily have thrown him off, but stayed where he was as he continued to glared down at Helmeppo.

"Luffy-san! Please stop!" Coby pleaded with him, trying to hold him back.

"This guy's scum!" Luffy growled as everyone stared at them, stunned that anyone would have the guts to attack him.

"Y-You hit me?!" Helmeppo yelled like a little kid. "I'm Captain Morgan's son, you know!"

"So what?!" Luffy yelled as moved forward, almost clawing the air to get at him.

"I'm gonna tell my dad and he's gonna execute you!" Helmeppo shouted angrily as tears built in his eyes.

"Fight me yourself!" Luffy demanded, holding a fist up, looking ready to go a few rounds.

"Luffy-san! Calm down! Why are you trying to get on the navy's bad side?" Coby said as he struggled to hold Luffy. With each word that was exchanged, Luffy was growing more and more angry. If this kept up, they knew that he would soon throw Coby off him as he pummeled Helmeppo's face into the floor. Though, they could see that it was possible that the only thing that was keeping him from doing that was because he was afraid of hurting Coby.

"I've made up my mind, Coby!" Luffy said as his eyes hardened, fierce determination now burning. "I'm... going to have Zoro join my crew!"

Everyone didn't say a word but was left completely speechless when they saw Luffy's eyes. And downright punched Helmeppo in the face. But everyone smiled at what Luffy said.

"Bout time someone hit him," Blake said, grateful that someone shut him up.

"No don't stop! He needs a hundred more punches and it will still not be enough!" Yang shouted out as the other's cheered in agreement.

"That's what I call getting what you deserve," Sienna said as she and Ilia both cheered Luffy on, hoping for another punch.

"I think that his brain was damaged when he hit the wall, or what was left of it anyway," Pietro smirked. "What else did he think just happened?"

"How can he not see that coming?" Winter demanded, smiling.

"Yes, there's only so much that a person can take before they finally snap and fight back," Neo agreed softly.

"Too late for that," Ozpin pointed out, "He already did."

"And he's the future king," Roman pointed out, with a shrug, "But that's hardly the case here... using your father's name to fight is a coward's way out."

"Because daddy won't be there forever," Glynda agreed, putting her glasses back on for a moment. "What's he gonna do once that's taken away?"

"What a baby," Neptune said rolling his eyes.

"Why should he care? He's a pirate, what's wrong with pirates fighting with Marines?" Velvet asked as she looked up to see that her past self had already taken off. Her eyes sadden at the thought as she looked back to the scene, really not looking forward to when they next meet up.

The scene changes and shows the navy base and inside is a notably tall, muscular man with, blonde hair sitting in his chair and smoking a cigar.

"I am... Great!" The captain said to himself.

"Yes! You're exactly right, Captain Morgan, sir!" A marine said as he saluted to the captain.

"Are all villains going to have huge ego?" Tai scoffed at that and muttered. 'God I hope not. Just having one is more than enough.' Blake shook head trying to get rid of that thought.

"But hasn't tribute to me been a bit lacking lately?" he asked.

"W-Well, the citizens' wallets do have their limits..." The marine said.

"The issue is the level of respect for me." he said, clearly annoyed by the town's 'disrespect'.

"Wouldn't you agree?"

Helmeppo barged in the room. "Dad! There's someone I want you to slaughter!" The shrill cry of Helmeppo. Morgan, Helmeppo's father, wouldn't even bother looking at his son for something like this. However, he raised an eyebrow at what he heard.

The screen changed outside where Zoro is. Zoro is apparently sleeping and begins to sweat so much under the hot sun. Zoro is probably dreaming even though he is tied up. The screen changed again as the sound of bamboo swords clashing.

The screen shows a flashback of a young version of Zoro along with a blue haired girl clashing each other.

Zoro uses two bamboo swords while the blue haired girl uses only one bamboo sword. The blue haired girl defeats Zoro with a single strike.

"You're still as weak as ever, Zoro!" The blue haired girl says.

"Oh he's one of those people that let the power go in their head like James." Qrow said.

"Ha I like to see those marines try to execute Luffy." Nora said in confidence.

"Oh man I don't think even I could just stand out there for almost a month." Yatsuhashi as they saw Zoro sweat so much, the rest nodded agreeing with him.

"Aw." The women awed as they saw a child version of Zoro along with a blue haired girl, Blake smiled at it. "Why did she hit him?" Ruby said a little worried for little Zoro as Weiss sighed. "They're obviously training you dolt." She said.

'I promised her... I can't afford to die in a place like this!' Zoro told himself. Zoro seemed to sense that he wasn't alone anymore. His eyes snapped open and he stared ahead of him, breathing a little harder than normal... at least until he saw who it was who woke him up. He had forgotten where he had been for a minute there. Luffy stood in front of Zoro, much like how he did before.

"You again? You sure have lots of free time." Zoro huffed in annoyance, clearly wanting to be left alone.

"You think Luffy started to run for the Marine Base. Until he reached the wall and easily jumped it to stand on top so that he could look around. After passing through the wall, he saw that Zoro was still tied there. And Luffy jumped down and stood in front of Zoro like last time. But we didn't saw in screen." Penny said as everyone was shock and had their jaws wide open at what penny said.

"I'll untie you, so join my crew!" Luffy stated bluntly. There was a determined look in his eyes.

Zoro stared at him. "Say what?!" he said, sure that he heard wrong.

"Well, he doesn't beat around the bush does he?" Mercury asked with a bark of laughter. "Just comes right out and says it doesn't he?"

"I think Zoro is hallucinating," Hazel told them all, "That the heat may finally got to him and he is starting to see things."

"I'm looking for people to join my pirate crew." Luffy explained as he walked closer.

Zoro blinked before he understood. "Forget it! Me, stooping to a criminal's level?! Screw that!" he said coldly, stopping Luffy.

"What's wrong with being a pirate?!" Luffy demanded, hands at his sides, and looking at him interestedly—wondering what he was going to say.

"Pirates are despicable! As if I'd wanna be one!" Zoro retorted honestly.

"Oh, come on!" Luffy spoke up, "You're already known as an evil bounty hunter!"

"Not at first. Most people think pirates are all a bunch of greedy slimeballs," Ren told them, folding his arms.

"That's normally what people think of when they hear someone's a pirate," Nora agreed, having thought. She had always thought that a pirate crew was just a murdering band of monsters that ruined people's lives.

'Fate sure has a strange way of changing minds.' Vuk thoughtfully said.

"People can say whatever they want, but I ain't done anything I regret." Zoro said to him firmly, "I will through this and accomplish what I want!" His exhausted face then split into a rather twisted smile.

"Yeah?" Luffy muttered slowly before he folded his arms, and looked away. "But I've decided you're gonna join me!"

"Quit deciding on your own!" Zoro yelled, completely losing his previous cool, and looking deeply irritated.

The twisted smile that Zoro made sent chills up everyone's spines.

"Looking really scary." Summer whispered, gulping.

"I think he just did," Watts laughed.

"And if he says he wants something, he gonna get it," Robyn sighed, although she was smiling as he said that.

"That rubber doofus can't take no for an answer," Ilia sighed.

"I hear you use swords." Luffy suddenly said.

"Yeah" Zoro said at once.

"But that stupid took my stuff..." Zoro finished speaking.

"I'll go get it back for you!" Luffy offered before he smirked.

"What?!" Zoro asked, unable to believe what he was saying.

"I didn't think he'd be crazy enough to do that for someone he just met..." Oscar said.

"I think the people he will meet have to get used to it quickly," Sienna added as they all nodded in agreement.

"Hopefully they do." Vernal spoke.

"Luffy gonna have to do something to make Zoro join him." Sun told his team.

"So if you want your sword, join my crew!" Luffy told him with a laugh.

"You're really getting on my nerves!" Zoro shouted as he fought to get off the post, looking like he wanted to beat Luffy up.

Luffy had gone running off to the opposite side.

"Is he planning to bust into the base by himself?!" Zoro said in shock.

"You idiot! The base is in the other direction!" He called out to Luffy who ran off in the opposite direction of the building in his hurry.

Luffy who heard what zoro said and realized his mistake. He stopped and turned around. "GOMU GOMU NO ROCKET!" He shouts. Luffy stretched his arm and launched himself and flew by—with Zoro staring after him straight towards the base.

"W-Who the hell is that guy?!" Zoro said in shock.

"Wait, he blackmailed him into joining?" Jaune asked, unable to believe it.

"Do you really need to ask that Jaune?" Ruby asked.

"I doubt that he'd really go that far to force someone to join," Ren giggled.

"Luffy is an awesome guy." Penny says with a smile.

The scene changes and shows what's going on the top of the Navy base. There are some noises up there. The marines pulling up a giant statue of Morgan himself.

"Alright! Stop there!" Morgan yelled.

"Stand it up in one shot!"

"Dad! Why aren't you going to get revenge?!" Helmeppo complaining to his father who isn't doing anything about Luffy. "That guy hit me!"

"Not even you've hit me in the face!" Helmeppo says.

"Do you know why I've never hit you before?" Morgan asked him.

"Eh? Because you think I'm-" Helmeppo cuts himself mid sentence.

"Yes. Because you're..." Morgan said as he stops himself.

Morgan punches Helmeppo so hard. Helmeppo hits the top corner of the navy base wall.

Morgan is a tall, muscular man with tanned skin, blonde hair, and a steel jaw with the word Möwe (Möwe = "seagull" in German). His right hand has been replaced with a huge steel axe, the handle of which is not only bolted through the bones of his forearm, but sticks out where his elbow should be. He wears a large, ornate overcoat and is completely sleeveless.

"...a stupid son who isn't even worth hitting!" Morgan said.

"Don't get the wrong idea!" Morgan picks up Helmeppo by using his ax hand. "Your dad is the one who's great! Me!" He said as helmeppo nods in fear.

"Oh god, how much ego does this man have?" Weiss muttered.

The students were horrified when they saw Morgan punch his own son.

"He's a piece of shit of dad." Emerald said to herself.

"He is an asshole." Mercury stated.

Morgan drops Helmeppo and turns away. "Which reminds me, I hear a rat snuck into the crucifixion yard.

"I-I-If you mean that pipsqueak, I made sure she was dealt with-" Helmeppo said but he was couldn't finish because he was scared.

"You killed her, I hope?!" Morgan asked his son.

"N-No! I mean, she was just a little kid..." Helmeppo said.

"You, there!" Morgan says as he points to a lieutenant marine.

"Go into town and exterminate her!"

"What!" Everyone yelled in anger. "That bastard, at least Helmeppo didn't kill the girl." Glynda said gritting her teeth. "Kick his ass Luffy!" Winter said. The audience looked at Winter in shock when they heard her shouted. "What I don't care what I said. I don't care if he is a Captain. Killing a little girl just for breaking a single rule is despicable." Winter explained in anger.

"I hope Morgan gets what coming to him." Penny states.

"I agree." Neo says.

The marine that was told to execute Rika. "Y-You can't be serious! She's just a little girl! I can't in good conscience..." He said as he tried to rebel against the order.

"Anyone who disobeys my orders is a traitor, even little brats." He said. Morgan walked towards the marine.

"B-But... I can't do it!" The lieutenant shouted.

Morgan raises his ac hand and hits the lieutenant very hard and knocks the poor man out.

"Lieutenant!" The other marines shouted.

"Y-You didn't have to go that far!" Helmeppo told his father.

"It was with my strength that I rose to my rank of captain!" Morgan tells them. "Listen! In this world, titles mean everything!"

"That means that I, the captain and highest ranking officer at this base, am the most superior person here!" He shouts to them.

"So everything I do is right! Isn't that right, you guys?!"

"Yes, sir! You're absolutely correct!" They shouted and saluted to him.

"The kid's death can wait for now. Observe! This is the symbol of my authority, which took many years to finally complete!"

"Now, stand it up! Display my greatness at the top of this base!" Morgan tells them.

The marines begin to pull the giant statue of Morgan.

"He isn't great at all." Pietro said to himself as the others nodded.

"But man he has such a huge ego; he even has a giant statue of himself." Velvet said in annoyance as they saw him talking about the statue very proudly. "I hope all the Marines ain't like this." Coco said as everyone else was hoping as well.

Luffy who is dashing around the base, trying to find the swords.

"That's weird there's nobody here..." Luffy said to himself, having completely circled the base. "I gotta find that crazy idiot's son and get Zoro's sword back." he went on just then he heard something on the roof and Luffy looked up.

"He just charges around without a plan," Glynda sighed, "Really, doesn't he ever think things through?"

"That captain says he is great. But he is making everyone putting that piece of junk up and leaves the base unguarded?" Winter said in frustration. "Well maybe it's because people actually believe that they don't actually try to attack it." Robyn said. Winter sighed and muttered. "But still..."

The girls heard Ruby and Summer squealed a bit. "Whoa what's up sis?" Yang asked as Ruby stared at Yang. "I just realized something, we're about to see Zoro's weapons." Ruby said with stars in her eyes as Yang smirked a bit. "Well then I hope is the spitting edge." She punned as the rest groaned. "And that ruined it." Ruby muttered as Yang said 'Nailed it.'

The marines are trying to pull up statue. "Pull! Pull!" Morgan yelled at them. But one of them crashed it a little bit. "You, there! You bumped it, didn't you?!"

Luffy heard something on the roof. "I heard something up there..." Luffy said as he looked up.

"I-I'm sorry, sir! I was careless!" The solider said in fear.

"I told you to think of this statue as me! The slightest scratch or speck of dirt is treachery against me!" Morgan said as his ego swelling up again.

"I'll just check it out!" He grinned and began to stretch his arm out, and he was planning on flying up to see what's going on.

"GOMU GOMU NO... ROCKET!" Luffy shouted as he rocketed himself up.

"Now you pay!" Morgan yelled.

"I jumped too far!" Luffy overdid it on the Rocket part of his move and was flying even higher...

"What is that?!" A tall marine yelled in shock.

"It flew up from below!" A short marine said.

Luffy grabbed hold of one of the ropes and was able to stop himself from flying off... "I stopped!" He said but it was too much for the men to hold on to as they lost their grip on the rope and it fell. With a cracking sound that seemed to echo around them, the statue's upper half cracked and fell to the ground below them.

Morgan and the marines reaction were shock and jaws wide open.

"Sorry..." Luffy said softly them all in a surprisingly meek voice, showing that he understood that he did something bad here. Luffy sweat dropped on the back of his head.

The students were afraid a bit for the marine. "Why is he ganging up on him for?!" Sun said in frustration as they heard.

"What is he doing now?" Weiss asked as she tried to not think about Luffy's powers anymore... Just so she could actually see what he could do.

"That... idiot," Sienna moaned out. "Leave it to him to end up breaking something that big!"

"I guess that an 'I'm sorry and I promise never to do that again' will help?" Ilia asked, sweatdropped.

The audience laughed and was happy to see, even if it was accidental that Luffy destroyed the statue. After a couple of minutes they manage to stop and continue playing.

Sage was still grinning, "No, it was for the best. It was about time that Marine Captain had his ego deflated. Besides, it was ugly as sin anyway... who'd want to stare at that thing the whole time?"

The audience laughed again to see everyone's reactions to this stunt. "And it looks like he meant it." Scarlet said still having the giggles as they saw Luffy sweat dropped.

Morgan jerkily turned his massive head towards Luffy, his face contorted with such fury that he looked ready to kill. In fact...

"Seize him! I'm going to kill him!" he bellowed, his eyes practically popping out of his head, almost foaming up like a rabid dog would.

"Yes, sir! Right away!" The marines shouted as they looked like they were gonna wet themselves as they hurried to obey.

"Dad! That's him!" screamed a familiar whiny voice that came from Helmeppo appeared behind some of the Marines, pointing at Luffy, "He's the guy one who hit me!"

As soon as he saw him, Luffy actually smiled. "Oh, it's you!" he said happily, moving so quickly that Helmeppo didn't realize how close he was until he was right in front of him. As soon as he realized Luffy was talking to him, he started to scream and attempted to run, but Luffy quickly grabbed him by his shoulder and easily held him back.

"I've been looking for you!" Luffy said cheerfully. "Come with me! There's something I want to give back!"

He put Helmeppo in a headlock and dragged him across the roof and through the only open door.

"Let me go!" Helmeppo screams.

"Helmeppo-sama!" One marine solider said. "After him! Don't let him escape!" Morgan ordered.

"Seriously who builds a statue of himself anyway?" Summer asked.

"You want a bottle and diaper while you're at it?" Qrow muttered in disgust.

"Is Helmeppo still complaining about that?" Tai said as he rolled his eyes at the bob cut weirdo. The adults agreed as they saw Luffy just popping up in front of him.

"Luffy seems to not even care that the captain is angry at him." Jaune said. "He is just awesome like that." Nora said in certainly. "Or just an idiot." Pyrrha muttered as they saw Luffy dragging the noble kid back into the building. "Well, that's something that you didn't see coming," Robin laughed as they followed again, now thoroughly enjoying herself as she watched the Marines all panic, wondering what they should do.

"So the captain's son was attacked and kidnapped all in one day, that's good for him," Yatsuhashi laughed.

"This was probably the most interesting thing that's happened to him in his life anyway," Sage said, "Someone had to bring him down to earth anyway."

"Captain! There's someone in the crucifixion yard!" One of the soldiers yelled.

"What?!"

"It's one traitor after the other..." Morgan said.

"No Coby!" Team CFVY yelled when they saw Coby running to Zoro. "What does he think he's doing?!" Oobleck said out loud afraid for the kid. "The kid may act like Jaune a bit but I'm sure even Coby wants to do something." Port said in reinsurance. "Coby." Oscar said also afraid as Du came over and patted the young farm boy's shoulder.

But then... the orange haired girl appeared out of nowhere. But it shows a vent opened where it looks like she jumped out. "After him! After him!" The two marines said to the other in a distance. The girl tried not t be spotted.

"Hurry!"

"Someone just had to interrupt..." She said as she leaves the scene and goes somewhere else to look for it.

"Wait it's that same girl again?" Neo said confused as the saw that same orange haired girl. "Is she actually following Luffy just so she can make easy money?" Yang said but Blake shook her head. "No, I think that is just chance."

"It could be fate working in mysterious. You may never know." Ozpin said.

"I hope she shows up again but luffy is more fun to see." Emerald says.

Luffy dragged Helmeppo by the collar through the base while the wimp screamed in terror the whole time.

"Where is Zoro's sword?" Luffy finally asked, getting tired of the screaming.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Just stop dragging me!" Helmeppo begged. And at once they stopped, so that he was hanging like a rag doll in Luffy's hand.

"Alright! Talk! Where?" He asked as Helmeppo weakly pointed behind them.

"In my room... We just passed it..."

"What? Why didn't you say so?" Luffy complained, as if it was his fault, as he looked back down the hall. "Now we gotta go back."

The Marines finally caught up, and were now pointing their rifles at him. "Freeze!" one warned.

"Let Helmeppo-sama go!" the other added.

"They've got company!" Penny cried out.

"Right..." Winter said, rolling her eyes. "Like he'd do that..."

"I wonder if luffy gonna let the guy die?" Roman asked.

"Still luffy intrigues me even if he is an idiot." Watts respond

"I wonder when he will fight seriously." Hazel asked.

"No." Luffy said as he lifted Helmeppo up and held him in front of him like a shield. "Go ahead and shoot, if you dare!"

Once Helmeppo saw the guns he started to flail around in panic. "No! Don't shoot!" he screamed out as Luffy charged ahead with Helmeppo still up in front of him.

Coby is trying to untie Zoro's ropes. "Please escape, Zoro-san!" Coby tells the swordsman.

"You'll be killed for doing that, you know!" Zoro told Coby.

"What is he doing?!" Glynda and Robyn shouted when they saw Luffy just raised the son making him his shield. Summer laughed a bit more and said. "Well he is a pirate." Oobleck just shook his head disappointed at Luffy.

"I hope Coby will be all right." Ruby said all worried. "I'm sure he'll be all right." Yang said as she smiles at Ruby. Ruby smiled and nodded back.

"He still doesn't know." Nora stated quietly to herself.

The audience smiled, proud that Coby has gained some confidence thanks to Luffy. "It seems like Coby has actually grew a back bone." Yang said as Penny looked at her all con used. "What does growing a back bone has to do with anything?" Penny said as Ilia sighed in annoyance at Penny's curiosity. "It's a metaphor."

"He didn't...?" Fox called out.

Tai smirked, "He did..."

"Now that's a side of Luffy I want to see more often," Vernal said.

"Just getting some payback," Neo smiled, having a lot of fun here. "I guess that Luffy just wanted to scare him into helping him as well as to make him pay for what he had done to Zoro."

"Karma can be a bitch," Mercury laughed.

"It's not like they're gonna shoot while he a hostage," Neptune added. "It all works out."

"I can't stand to watch the navy like this anymore. I want to be an honorable marine!" Coby said.

"Stop! I can't escape! I only got ten days until-" Zoro tells Coby but he was interrupted by coby.

"You're going to be executed tomorrow!" Coby warns Zoro.

"What?!" Zoro shouted.

"Helmeppo never once intended to honor your agreement! So Luffy-san got angry and punched him!" Coby tells Zoro. Coby continues to unite the knots of the rope.

"He did?" Zoro asked but it sound more like a comment.

"Coby is risking his life to save Zoro." Ozpin said as he looked over at Oscar. He always put the boy in danger and he wants to make it up for it. Maybe now he has a chance.

"Zoro should have in faith in luffy because he some sorta spark deep inside of him. That makes him interesting." Port said.

"A young man risking his life for a stranger. He has a dream and he will accomplish it!" Pietro said but he was hoping he can talk to the deity about his conditions and he could walk again.

The audience was hoping for Morgan wasn't there yet and was chasing luffy as they hope.

"The navy is after Luffy-san now. I won't ask you to be a pirate. But please, help Luffy-san!" Coby says.

"Luffy-san is the only one who can save you. And I think you're also the only one who can save Luffy-san now."

"End of the line!" Morgan yelled.

"For the crime of treachery against me, I'll now execute you two where you stand!"

"Screw you big jerk!" some of the students shouted.

"What's coby gonna do now?! Those bastards are pointing at a young kid!" Emerald screamed.

"This isn't good!" Summer said.

"Luffy you better hurry and save them!" Coco shouts.

"Shit! Morgan is here!" Roman yelled.

He ran back down the hallway but this time, luffy spotted a flowered sign on one of the doors that read: "My Room".

Luffy stopped and opened the door.

"This the room?!" Luffy said, looking around. The room had pink walls decorated with flowers... pink curtains at the window with flowered plates up on the wall... even with a vanity complete with matching pink furniture.

Luffy glanced over the room and beamed proudly as he spotted the three swords up against the wall. "Bingo!" he said going up to them.

"Don't tell me..." Vernal said, feeling close to gagging himself as Luffy walked in the room.

"Odd taste," Penny added once she got a good look at the place.

"I think I'm gonna be sick," Vernal said looking at it in disgust. "And he calls himself a man?"

If they didn't know who's room it was, they would've sworn that it belonged to a young girl.

"Is there make-up at that?" Watts asked, as his face was twitching horribly at this. "Is this guy a..." he gulped, "Okama?" Watts almost vomited as he said those words.

"A Drag-queen?" Ilia asked.

"It would explain a lot," Jaune added, "This looks like the side of Nora's bed."

"Please, I have much better taste than this!" Nora said, looking at the walls, "I mean flowered plates? Tacky..."

Even in that situation Team SSSN can't help but laugh at the look of Helmeppo's room. Ruby and Summer squeal again. "What the, Ruby!" Weiss shouted at her partner. Summer apologies to Tai and gives him a hug. "Sorry Weiss but there are the swords!" Ruby said out loud as they saw the three swords. "Though why is there three." Blake said.

Luffy looking over them all with confusion. "But there are three here!" he said to himself before he looked down at Helmeppo. "Hey! Which one of these Zoro's?"

Luffy found out that he made Helmeppo unconscious. "Oh, he passed out."

Luffy had sighed in annoyance when sounds came through the window. Looking up in surprise, he dropped Helmeppo and went over to see what the problem was. He saw Zoro and Coby facing down a firing squad.

"Coby!" Luffy exclaimed in shock as he went back to grab the swords.

"What a wimp, he passed out," Glynda said boldly.

"That he is." Hazel admitted.

"Save Coby and kick Morgan ass! Luffy!" Fox absentmindedly spoke.

"Calm down fox geez." Yatsuhashi said.

"What's gonna luffy do?" Velvet asked.

"He's probably gonna jump out the window. Like a boss!" Coco stated.

The marines aimed their guns at Zoro and Coby. "This is some interesting stuff you guys've pulled! Were you and that mugiwara kid plann' a coup or something?!"

(Mugiwara = Straw Hat)

"I've always fought alone. Unlike arrogant bastards like you who use soldiers as cronies!" Zoro tells Morgan.

"Roronoa Zoro... Don't you dare underestimate me! You may be strong, but before my authority, you're as good as scum!" Morgan yelled.

"Aim!" Morgan pointed his ax at the two.

'I... can't afford to die here!' Zoro told himself.

Zoro begins to think of the blue hair girl. "You're still as weak as ever, Zoro!" She says.

"GOMU GOMU NO... ROCKET!" Luffy shouted as he stretched his arms. He had flown from the window and the sound of glass breaking and was shooting across the sky.

"Fire!" Morgan ordered. The marines fired their weapons.

"Zoro! Is He...?" Robyn gasped.

"NO!" Roman, Neo, and Emerald screamed in panic.

"Yeah, you still have to keep your promise Zoro!" Ruby said excited for Luffy to come as the others nodding in agreement.

Luffy landed directly in front of Zoro and Coby. Shielding them both from the rain of bullets...

"What are you-?!" Zoro cried out.

"Luffy-san!" Coby screamed in terror, tears in his eyes.

"Mugiwara?!" Morgan said.

Luffy smiled as his body stretched out from the bullets.

"That idiot he gone in front of the bullets!" Weiss shouted out afraid for Luffy.

"What... the hell?" Yang said as they saw his body's new bullet holes stretched back.

"No fucking way..." Qrow said as he almost dropped his flask.

"That doesn't work!" he shouted as he stretched his arms wide, and deflected the bullets back at the Marines, all of them with their eyes bugging out of their heads and screaming in terror. Luffy just laughed as he declared, "I told you I was strong!"

"W-Who the hell are you?!" Zoro asked. There were stunned expressions on Zoro and Coby's faces.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy!" he said simply as he gave him a thumbs up, "The man who's gonna be King of the Pirates!"

"Oh thank god he saved them." Summer sighed.

The rest were shocked that bullets won't work on Luffy.

"That idiot gave me a heart attack!" Glynda and Winter shouted.

"So cool/Sensational!" Ruby, Nora, and Penny said.

"Way to go luffy!" Jaune cheered.

"The music is badass!" Emerald says.

"That was awesome!" Oscar yelled as others were shouting.

"Spectacular!" Port and Oobleck yelled.

Zoro just stared at him. Finally finding his voice he demanded, "W-What?! The King of the Pirates?! Do you even know what that means?!"

"King of the Pirates is the King of the Pirates! Are there any other meanings?" Luffy asked, as if wondering what else there could be too it.

Coby was now smiling, his eyes bright as explained to Zoro. "I was shocked, too! But Luffy-san is serious! That's how he is! He intends to become the King of the Pirates and obtain this world's ultimate treasure... the One Piece!"

Luffy broke into a large grin at his words. Luffy finished brushing himself off from the bullets and untied the swords from his back. He then turned to Zoro and held them out, "Here's your treasure! Which is yours? I couldn't tell, so I brought three of 'em."

"All three are mine." Zoro said as he struggles against his bonds, trying to get feeling back into them. "I use Santoryu." (Santoryu = Three-Sword Style)

"He has two black swords and a one white sword." Robyn answered.

"Luffy has the simple answer to everything," Sienna smiled, "I find as one of his most endearing traits."

"He doesn't think about how much work things take does he?" Ilia sighed.

"I think that part of his brain that plans things out doesn't work," Hazel agreed, "He just goes for it and waits to see if it works out."

"He sure sounds like a believer now," Glynda said as Luffy broke into a large grin at his words.

"He's gonna have that effect on people in the future I bet," Ozpin confessed.

"Three swords?" Winter said in confusion. "I wonder where he holds the third sword?" Ruby asked as Coco smirked. "I wonder how LONG his sword could be." Coco said as Velvet blushed heavily, and Blake blushed as well but Ruby seemed to ignore than embarrassed.

Yang noticed and smirks longer and says. "What's wrong, getting a bit heated up Blake-chan?" Blake sighed in annoyance as she started thinking. 'Damn those novels.' She decided to just get on with it.

Luffy blinked at him for several seconds, and it couldn't have been clearer than he never heard of such a thing before. Luffy seemed to snap out of his thoughts as he held them out again "You'll take 'em right?" he said grinning. "If we fight now, you'll be a government-defying villain! Would you prefer that, or being by the navy like this?"

A true grin appeared on Zoro's face. "What are you, the devil's son?!" He said as he knew he had no other choice. "Well, whatever. I'll be your pirate, if I'm just gonna die here instead!" His eyes narrowed as he finished.

"Hurray! So you'll join my crew?!" Luffy cheered, completely forgetting the danger they were still in as he danced around happily with the swords. "Alright! Woo-hoo! This is great! Alright!"

"Okay! Now untie these stupid ropes already!" Zoro yelled in irritation, wanting to get out of this mess already.

"What... is he" One of the marines questioned as the keep looking at Luffy.

"He flung the bullets back!"

"He's no ordinary human, that mugiwara... Must've eaten one of those rumored Devil Fruits!" Morgan tells them.

"A Devil Fruit?!" The marine said in shock.

"The hidden treasures of the sea?!"

"He's not giving zoro a choice is he?" Pietro laughed.

"Like there was a choice," Qrow grinned at him. "If I were there my only two choices were to become a pirate, or stay where my days were numbered... then it was fate that stepped in."

Wait, why aren't the Marines doing anything?" Jaune said as they saw them doing nothing. "I'm, not quite sure." Nora said in confusion.

"Oh." Fox simply said as they saw the marines were confused like they were.

'Got that right Luffy isn't ordinary at all.' Sun thought.

"There's that name again." Tai said. Summer tilted her head. "Well, looks like he is about to explain it."

The screen goes dark as Morgan is about to explain the mysterious fruits. "The Devil Fruits... Whoever eats one is said to gain seemingly unworldly abilities." He said. The screen shows many devil fruits as each one are different. A captain is shown breathing fire out of his mouth to his enemies.

"The power to breathe fire..." Hey says. It shows A female marine using the power of water to sink pirate ships. "The power to causes tsunamis... There are all sorts of rumors, but there are many types, and almost nothing is known about them." It shows pirates and marines using their devil fruit powers against each other. Many elements devil powers are being shown. The dark screen shows back to Morgan and the marines "It's said the secrets to them lie in the Grand Line... but there's no question Mugiwara just displayed a devil power!" Morgan said.

Luffy and Coby were trying to get Zoro's ropes off.

"Hurry! Hurry!" Coby cried out in panic.

"Wow those devil fruits are more powerful than we thought." Yatsuhashi stated thinking how these powers are more powerful than their semblance. And while the others are thinking in agreement. Watts was thinking more on how these fruits would compare to the dust or semblance.

"Luffy hurry up!" Ren shouted.

"Hurry and untie Zoro!" Nora

"Don't screw up luffy!" Vernal yelled.

"Zoro might be a skilled foe if he ever came to our world." Hazel whispers to Emerald who nods.

"Damn! These knots are tight!" Luffy muttered in frustration, tugging at them.

Hey! Quit wastin' time! Zoro yelled as he tried to pull himself free.

"No matter who they are, everyone who opposes me gets executed! If guns won't work, then chop them to death!" Morgan finally orders his men to charge in and kill them.

The marines began to charge towards them. Zoro widen his eyes as the Marines got closer.

"Huh, that's weird! It got tighter instead!" Luffy muttered in frustration, tugging at them.

"Give me a damn sword!" Zoro yelled out as he looks like he's finally losing it.

The marines were getting very close to them. "Luffy-san!" Coby screamed in panic as the marines had reached them, ready to cut him to shreds. Coby closed his eyes in fear.

But all of sudden Luffy at that moment handed Zoro one of his swords and with his mouth, he had been able to cut himself free, grabbed the other two swords out of Luffy's hands before he stopped the Marine's swords. Two in each hands and one in his mouth.

"Oh... my... Oum" Oobleck said in shock. He nearly drops his notebook.

"That's so freaking cool!" Jaune and Scarlet shouted.

"Badass" Neo says as she approves of this.

"How can he hold a sword in his mouth?" Weiss questioned.

"That is either stupid or smart or both." Glynda muttered.

"I think Zoro has a theme." Roman whistled at the music.

"Wow" Robyn yelled out smiling wider as Zoro's theme came on. Mercury is now getting interested by the style. Tai is grinning how cool it is. Oscar however is thinking how impractical the sword being in his mouth is.

"Roronoa Zoro!" Morgan gasped.

"So cool!" Luffy exclaimed the ropes in his hands. Even though zoro had been kept there for one month or three weeks, he was more than able to hold them all back.

"Move and you're dead." he warned them all as the Marines froze, tears in their eyes.

"Too scary!" one whimpered.

"I'll be a pirate. I promise you that." Zoro tells luffy.

"Ha they're pussies!" Yang shouted in excitement.

"Take them down Zoro!" Summer cheered.

"And they call themselves soldiers?" Winter asked, smacking her forehead.

"Awesome!" Coco cried out, her eyes sparkling.

"Amazing!" Fox added, amazed that someone could be this strong despite being starved and exhausted.

With the Marines now too scared to move and too scared to utter even a word, Zoro looked up to Luffy and said, "I'm officially a criminal, now that I've fought the navy." He narrowed his eyes as his glared at his new captain as he added, "But I'll tell you this right now. I'm only going to fulfill my ambition!"

This peaked Luffy's interest. "Ambition?" He asked his first member. "To be the world's greatest swordsman!" Zoro proclaimed, his shadowed eyes seemed to give him the look of a man possessed. "If I wind up having to give that up, you'd better accept responsibility and have you commit seppuku and apologize to me!"

"What does that even mean?" Velvet asked as Nora and Oscar wondered what 'seppuku' means. Du sighs and claps his hands and everyone looks at him. "Seppuku means belly cutting. Samurai's do this as an apology whenever the break a promise, leading to ones death. They would consider this an honor if their loyalty to their betters is big enough." Vuk explained as the others look at Du in disgust.

"Why would they want to do that?" Yang asked out loud as Vuk just shrugged. "How the heck should I now? I don't watch you mortals. I just watch fight scenes and some other things..." He says video as the others are going to learn more about this seppuku later but they continue to watch the screen again.

Vuk knew that Zoro will travel far and wide, searching for one man... and he wasn't willing to give up his dream without a fight. Even if it kills him. But he has to focus on this.

Luffy was smiling, as if he had expected Zoro to say something like that. "The world's greatest swordsman?" he repeated, "That sounds great! The King of the Pirates would no need less than on his crew!"

Zoro returned Luffy's smile. "You sure talk big. At this point, whether it's as a criminal or whatever else, I will spread my name throughout the world!"

"What're you standing around for?!"Morgan yelled, once again forgetting he was here. "Slaughter them this instant!"

The Marines seemed completely lost; it was hard to say who they were more afraid of. They seemed terrified of what Morgan would've done to them if they didn't obey, but they clearly didn't want to risk moving with Zoro's threat over their heads.

Thankfully, Luffy solved that problem as he raised his leg. "Duck, Zoro!" He tells him to get down. "GOMU GOMU NO... MUCHI!" he screamed and in one fluent move, he stretched his leg across, hitting all the Marines that Zoro held up—with Zoro ducking just in time. (Muchi = Whip)

"New attack looks cool!" Neptune smiled proudly.

"Damn right it looks cool!" Scarlet added.

"I wonder which devil fruit or power I would have if I ate one?" Sage wondered but he only seen Luffy's devil fruit powers so he'll have to wait for other users.

"That must be fun. Stretching your limbs to make an attack." Ren said laughing.

"Wish I could stretch like that rubber idiot!" Neo smirked.

Morgan was shock that his men got defeat by a stretching leg. "Y-You did it! Incredible!" Coby said. He was cheering him on as Zoro got back to his feet, asking him, "What the hell are you?"

"I ate Gomu Gomu Fruit." Luffy explained, kicking his leg out happily.

Zoro looked completely lost to what that means. "Gomu Gomu Fruit?" he asked.

"A rubber person!" one of the Marines that Luffy just hit cried out in disbelief.

"So he does have Devil Fruit powers," Morgan growled, his eyes narrowed in hatred and shock.

Another one of his subordinates looked up and exclaimed in shock, "Captain! We don't stand a chance against them!"

"These guys are crazy!" Another one added, pointing.

"We can't handle Zoro by himself!" One of them pleaded to their captain.

"It's not a secret. These guys honestly didn't stand a chance against the two of them." Ozpin stated.

"Luffy isn't even trying and neither is Zoro. They're like some kind of monster duo." Glynda says.

"That doesn't sound right to me. But all they have to do is beat up Morgan." Port added.

"Still I wish I could be there. In a world where the age of pirates ruled the sea!" Oobleck stated, folding his arms.

"I want to be a pirate..." Qrow says as he drinks from his flask.

"You drink like one Qrow." Tai muttered.

Summer punches both their heads. "Be quite! I'm trying to watch."

With every word they said, Ax-hand Morgan's face seemed to grow angrier as he glared at them all; looking angry enough to kill each and every one of them. "This is a direct order!" he bellowed out. "Everyone who spouted weakness just now... must now shoot themselves in the head!"

"I have no need for what weakling soldiers!" Morgan kept his ax raised threateningly as he said those words.

Here, the subordinates were looking angry, and their eyes were filled with something other than fear... hatred.

These troops are mental! Zoro said, holding up his swords

Luffy didn't wait around anymore as he charged, leaving a dust trail behind him. He ran towards Morgan. He had one thing in his mind to defeat him.

"Luffy-san!" Coby shouted. "Crush this navy!"

"WHAT!" The students shouted out when they heard Morgan say that. "Wh-Why is he ordering them to kill themselves!?" Pyrrha said all frightened up as the adult's eyes went into rage for a second before it went back. "I can't believe it. Just why?" Pietro said to himself as he wondered the logic in that man's head. "Not even I'm that low." Roman quietly said to himself.

"Looks like they don't like him either," Robyn said softly.

"WHAT?!" Penny screamed out in horror.

"How could any leader demand that?!" Jaune demanded, unliking the man less and less with each second.

"That's no way to treat your own men!" Sun cried out, fury pouring through his bones. These men did their best to follow his orders, but he honestly cared nothing for any of them. Even pirates treated each other better than this!

"Tsh, if I could, I'd give him a pounding he wouldn't forget," Sage growled, holding up a fist. "Damn, this is what I hate about watching! We can't do anything!"

"First he believed that the Marines were like saints, now he's rooting for a pirate to take them out," Oscar said, watching it all with delight. He was finally having fun watching this because it was obvious from the start who was going to win.

The Marines had any idea to what was happening, Luffy jumped up and raised his fist, ready to throw a punch. But Ax-Hand raised his heavy ax and blocked it, but the force of the punch was enough to cause the sound to reverberate throughout Morgan's body. Zoro took the sword out of him mouth. He was watching... wanting to see what his new captain could do.

"Rankless, low-status bums have no right whatsoever to defy me!" Morgan yelled as he threw off his jacket, finally snapping completely. "I am Navy Captain "Axe-Hand" Morgan!"

"I'm Luffy!" He answered chilled and relaxed, "Nice to meetcha!"

"Die!" Morgan yelled swinged his ax at luffy but he jumps in the air and avoids it. Morgan bringing his ax down, leaving a deep crack in the ground from the impact. Luckily, Luffy dodged the attack, spinning around like a top to avoid it—and then with a kick, knocked him to the ground.

"Yes, go get him Luffy!" Yatsuhashi shouts still angry at what Morgan was trying to do.

"Who cares about who you are?" Mercury said quietly to himself as the other girls calmed down a bit.

"Wow the captain is an idiot but he sure is strong." Ren can't help but compliment Morgan's strength as they saw Luffy stomp on Morgan's face and made him fall down. "Yeah but Luffy is stronger!" Vernal said loudly as they all agreed on that.

"Normally you introduce yourself before you kick someone's ass," Sienna muttered.

"Come on! This isn't even a fight!" Ilia cheered on, "Is that the best that he could do?!"

"T-The captain!" One of the marines shouted.

"R-Runt... Die!" Morgan yell again as he saw Luffy charging at him and lifts his axe up ready to swinging it down again.

"No thanks!" Luffy said. Yet Luffy somehow dodges it as says as he keeps turning in the air. He kicks the captain on the side and lands back on the ground.

"C-Captain Morgan is..."

"Being trounced completely..."

Luffy was far from done. He grabbed the front of Morgan's shirt and started yelling, "And you call yourself a navy you ass?!" He then began to throw punch after punch, yelling out, "You've destroyed Coby's dream!"

No one didn't care that Luffy used a rude word in front of Luffy as they are all glad that Morgan is getting what he deserves.

"He's thinking about Coby's dream of being a Marine as well?" Robyn said, unsure to how to feel to that.

"He's... something else. Even if he is a pirate. He cares about Coby and his dream!" Fox said with a smile.

"Yeah." Nora stated, "Finding out your so called leader, that you're shit scared of, is actually a weakling would do that."

"Except for you Jaune you kick ass!"

"Thanks Nora!"

"Keep punching Morgan Luffy!" Yang yelled.

"Hold it, Mugiwara! Check this out!" someone yelled. Luffy paid no attention to them and continued to punch Morgan. It turned out to be Helmeppo was standing there with a gun to Coby's head but helmeppo's hand is shaking.

"I said hold it! Are you stupid?!" Helmeppo screamed, "Pay attention! I have a hostage here!"

"Helmeppo-sama!" one of the marines said.

"Hey." Zoro said which finally got Luffy's attention.

"If you value this guy's life, don't move!" Helmeppo ordered. "One move and I'll shoot!"

"Oh, he's stupid alright," Weiss answered, seeing how badly Helmeppo's hand was shaking, "But he might want to make it look a little more convincing because it looks like he's gonna drop the gun."

Penny notices this as she starting to think. 'Do you have a plan Luffy?'

"I thought that he was knocked out back in his room," Winter said quietly.

"Kinda wish I didn't see him again." Sage muttered in annoyance.

"Oh great he's back." Neptune sighed.

"Hey Hazel you think rich boy has it to pull the trigger?" Watts asked.

"No he doesn't" Hazel replied.

Luffy stared expressionlessly at him—but then they realized that he was looking at Coby. As if silently asking him what he wanted him to do? Coby was frightened and was shaking... but as he looked at Luffy who gave him a winning grin, he seemed to come to a decision. Coby blinked, and like before, his confidence suddenly seemed to erupt and he called out without a trace of fear, "Luffy-san! I don't want to get in your way! Even if it means dying!"

"Yeah, I know!" Luffy said as he turned his back on Morgan and slowly approached Helmeppo as he winded up his arm. "Give it up, stupid son! Coby really is ready to die!"

Helmeppo was completely panicking now, watching him coming closer. "Don't move! I told not to move! I-I'll shoot!"

"He's very brave." Pietro said softly, was this really the same boy who was afraid to stand up for himself?

The audience smiles at confidence as Ozpin grinned. "There you go Coby."

"He has a lot of spirit." Ruby answered simply.

"Neither of them is afraid to die. What brave boys." Glynda says.

'Ah shit I just realize that the anime is entering the battle of Onigashima or rather it's begun.' Vuk tells himself.

Luffy kept slowly walking towards them before he stopped, still grinning, he threw his arm back, ready to launch another attack—but suddenly Morgan was back on his feet and was standing behind him, ready to bring his arm down at him. But Luffy didn't bother with him.

"Behind you!" Coby cries out as they saw a familiar axe.

"GOMU GOMU..."

"I am Navy Captain "Axe-Hand" Morgan!" Ax-hand Morgan bellowed ready for an attack that surely would've sliced Luffy right in half...

Helmeppo grabbed Coby and held the gun closer to his head. "Dad! Kill him quick!"

Zoro picked up his swords.

"PISTOL!" Luffy screamed as the ax fell... what happened was so quick that if you blinked you would've missed it. Luffy had punched Helmeppo in the face before he could pull the trigger and was now out cold on the ground with a fist dented in face.

While, at the same time, Zoro charged forwards and took out Morgan in one attack. His ax-like arm was just inches from Luffy's head by the time that Zoro took care of him. Morgan stood there for a fraction of a second before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell back, landing with a crash on the ground.

"What's he doing?" Winter cried.

"Oh relax winter please!" Port told her.

It was silent for a few seconds until ruby broke it. "That was, AWESOME!" Ruby yelled out as everyone cheered. "I can already tell that those two guys are going so cool together." Velvet says. Vernal nodded as she thought, this might take some time after all. 'Well first mates are all ways there and trust their captains.' She thought happily. Glynda is the only one not saying anything but that big smile tells volumes of how she liked the outcome.

"They've done it!" Neo remarked.

"I always knew they would win!" Roman said.

"Of course they would win!" Ilia exclaimed in joy.

"Nice! Zoro." Luffy said to Zoro as he smiles.

"My pleasure, Captain." Zoro answered who smiled back.

The bad Captain marine and the spoiled son have both been defeated.

"Captain Morgan been beaten!" One of the marines said.

"Unbelievable! These guys are insane!" The marines question one after another as they can't believe their eyes.

"If anyone else still wants to catch us, come forward!" Zoro tells them.

"Hurray! We're free!" They said as they celebrate. They threw their weapons and hats in the air. "Yahoo! Morgan's reign is over!" The Marines and the town's people were afraid of the Marine captain but now it was over. "Hurray for the navy!"

"Huh? Everyone's happy their captain's been beaten..." Luffy is confused and say out of curiosity.

Coby looks at Luffy and excitedly tells Luffy, "Everyone was just afraid of Morgan!"

Zoro fell down from exhaustion. "What's wrong, Zoro-san?! Are you hurt?!" Coby asked.

"I'm... hungry..." Zoro says as his stomach growls.

The excitement is there and even five minutes later they all still happy about it.

"Zoro!" Nora said out getting worried again as they saw him fall down. "Don't worry about it. I bet he's just hungry." Pyrrha said comfortably. Weiss nodded and says. "I'm surprised that he made it for so long."

"That will probably happen to Atlas if or when James gets defeated by my niece and her friends." Qrow said.

Winter wasn't going to say because she knew that Ironwood already lost to himself because of his semblance.

Watts was writing down about how Zoro used his words but he needed more information.

Vernal was itching to have a sparring match with Zoro but she'll have to ask Du for that.

"Even if it wasn't epic. It was a good fight." Tai says.

The screen change to the inside the base as it shows a familiar orange hair girl. "Sorry! Just endure it for a while!" She tells the men being tied up, she was expecting for all of them to be outside. The girl goes into the captain's room.

"Don't seem to be in here, either..." She said to herself as she looks through the draws before she'd notice the safe. She moved some barrels and check it out, she then realized that is already unlocked.

"Yes! A chart of the Grand Line! I knew they had one!" The girl said excitedly as she took out the map.

However when she unrolled it, it has a jolly roger with a red nose on and says "I've flashily taken the map! Buggy"

"T-This isn't a chart! What is this mark?!" The girl said so annoyed then in surprise. "Captain Buggy..."

The screen then shows a dark figure of a man with a giant jolly roger with a red nose behind him.

"The man known as Buggy the Immortal..." The girl said she crunched up the now rolled up fake map and looks out the window.

"Wait, why does she want to go to the Grand Line?" Robyn asks as the others just shrugged as they don't know why the girl wants to go to the most dangerous sea.

"Someone all ready took it?" Emerald said in surprised. "Looks like someone already SNATCHED it." Yang said with a grin as the others did their usual groan.

Nora let out a giggle and then says. "What kind of name is buggy?" Neo giggled as well as she jokingly says. "Sounds like a clown's name." Weiss scoff at the two childish.

Jaune and Ren smiled a bit at their nature. Even after anything, they still like this team. Roman was surprised that neo was getting along with them but he is enjoying himself as well.

"I wonder why this buggy is called the immortal?" Port asked his colleagues.

"Perhaps he is like Salem a bit." Oobleck stated.

"Maybe he ate a devil fruit?" Glynda asked.

"Will have to wait and see." Ozpin tells them.

The screen changed back to town and they saw many people surrounding a familiar cafe. "I'm stuffed!" Zoro says. "I was definitely at my rope's end, having not eaten for three weeks!"

Rika is holding five plates top of each other that Zoro ate his food. "Huh? You're finished already?" Luffy asked as he continued to eat his meal.

"How the heck can you have a bigger appetite than me?!" Zoro asked his captain. It shows six plates top of each other and Luffy continues to eat.

"It tastes good! Right, Coby?" Luffy said as he ignoring him.

"Thank you for treating me to food, too..." Coby said as he is apologizing for eating as well.

"It's no problem! The town has been saved, after all!" Rika's mother said.

"You really are amazing!" Rika says.

"Yep, I am! And I'm going to be even amazing!" He grins, "'because I'm going be King of the Pirates!"

"And I even have a crew!"

"So, how many others have you gathered besides me?" Zoro asked luffy.

Luffy looks at Zoro as he takes a bite of meat. "You said you were in the middle of gathering a crew. To be King of the Pirates, you must have a good number gathered."

"Just you." Luffy said bluntly and honestly.

It is silent in the room as the audience felt a bit awkward. "Um..." They mumbled as they remember just started as a pirate. "Well, this is awkward." Yang said quietly as the rest were wondering how will Luffy get more members...

"Well, he did just start being a pirate." Jaune tried to reason as the others just shrugged.

"Zoro will be in a shock about the crew amount." Neo says.

"That has to be the worst pirate I've ever heard or seen." Winter muttered.

"That's gotta be the best and stupidest and interesting pirate I've ever seen." Penny remarked

"In three... two... one..." Roman said as he held his fingers and counted down.

"Huh?! Then..." Zoro said in shock.

"Yep! Just us two!" Luffy said bluntly.

"We're gonna call just two a pirate crew?!" Zoro asked luffy.

"What's wrong with that? We are strong!" Luffy tells Zoro.

"What about a ship? Where's your pirate ship?" Zoro asked his new captain.

"There." Luffy points at it. He showed Zoro his ship, which is nothing more than a sail boat as a dog was peeing on the side of the boat.

"That?" Zoro asked in shock as he looks over the window.

"They're freaking doomed." Sage says.

"Nah unless they ran into a person who will backstab them when they aren't looking and he or she will take their belongings. I think they'll be okay." Fox added.

"Luffy and Zoro are screwed." Summer laughed her ass off.

"They won't make about a week." Port commented.

"I say about three weeks. They'll bite the dust!" Oobleck spoke

"Be quite you two! I'm trying to watch!" Glynda silent them both.

"Spoilsport!" They both said.

'Why did I bring these a-holes to my domain? Oh right, to see if they can learn from their mistake instead of shooting everything and everyone.' Vuk said in his mind.

"We'll have a ship this big before long!" Luffy says with a smile.

Zoro begins to laugh at his captain's positively. "And how's that?!" Zoro asked.

"And I'd like a pirate flag, too!"

Luffy then starts to think about what his ship and his roger look like. And for some reason he is also holding up a sword.

"Yeah! Yeah, yeah! So cool!" Luffy mumbled as he continued to eat his meal.

"I think Luffy-san was born without any sense of planning." Coby tells Zoro.

"Did I really make this guy my captain?!" Zoro ask himself as a small vein was on his head. He was sitting down and places his left hand on his forehead.

"Well, we'll get more crew members before long!" Luffy tells Zoro.

"Hey, hey! Where are you guys gonna go now?" Rika ask Luffy.

"Isn't it obvious?! The Grand Line!" Coby spits out his drink from both his mouth and down his nose.

The younger audience giggled as Luffy showed Zoro his ship.

Pyrrha sweatdropped and tries to be positive. "Well, at least he's thinking positively." She said with a smile. "Yeah well he has too much if you ask me." Weiss said quietly.

Vernal didn't care about Luffy's moment of stupidity as she can't help but to chuckle. After everyone mostly stopped laughing. Though Ruby and Nora are still giggling as the screen continued to play.

"Port was right. They're freaking doomed." Watts muttered

Oscar was chuckling at Coby spitting his drink out.

"You still only have two members!" Coby shouted, "There's no way you can go there! No way! No way! No way!"

"Is the Grand Line that terrible of a place?" Rika questioned.

"Naturally!" Coby tells her. A map is shown on the screen as Coby begins to explain about the Grand Line. "You know this world has to oceans, right? And the giant continent that cuts them right in two is the Red Line." A red line is crosses through the map perpendicular. "Supposedly, there's a town right in the middle of the Red Line, and the Grand Line goes through it at a right angle... and stretches around the world." Coby said.

The screen then shows a captain with his crew raising their weapons as they're sailing across the sea. "It was said that Gold Roger, King of the Pirates, once obtained everything this world has to offer, and before he died, he said he left the great One Piece treasure there, so pirates everywhere have since set sail for the Grand Line!"

The screen shows many ships attacking each other and a bunch of dead bodies on the sea and some broken ships as well. "It's now an intense battlefield, and even called pirate graveyard!" Coby tells them.

The screen goes back to coby who is shaken up after telling Rika about the Grand Line. "I've heard from patterns before... that whoever enters the Grand Line never comes out alive..." Rika's mother adds.

"Does he have to do that again?" Coco whined can't help but say that, like is a part of a gag or something. "Yes, though it does get annoying." Weiss said as she cross her arms. Emerald shakened up a bit as she wants to have nothing to do with that place.

"What does Per-what-cha-call it means?" Nora said confused with the complicated word as Ruby and Yang wondered as well. This time Glynda gave an explanation instead of Blake.

"Think of a plus sign, one of the lines is the Red Line while the other is the Grand Line." She explained as best as she could. Thankfully Ren and Fox understood but Nora still seem to think hard. Ren got an idea. "Nora, think of a pancake and cut it in quarters. The lines of the cut are those two lines." Ren simply said as Nora smiled finally got it. "Ok we all get the picture now, let's just get on with it." Winter quickly said all annoyed by the three fools even if they are her sister friends.

"But the One Piece is somewhere there, so we're going there!" Luffy said.

"Guess it can't be helped!" Zoro says.

Coby gets off from the chair. "Not you too, Zoro-san?!"

"What's it matter? You're not going, are you?" Zoro asked Coby.

"N-No, but I'm worried about you! Is that so wrong?!" Coby said, "Luffy-san and I haven't known each other long, but we are friends! Right?"

"Yeah! We're gonna part ways, but we'll always be friends!" Luffy grins.

That smile gave Coby confidence. "Since I was a little kid, I've never had friends... Much less anyone who would fight for my sake... But more than anything, I never tried to fight for anything..." Coby says, "But you two taught me how to live for my beliefs!"

"I've decided to make my childhood dream come true! I want to join the navy!"

"Shouldn't you be more worried about yourself, then?" Zoro asked Coby.

"Even if you were just a chore boy, you did spend two years on Alvida's pirate ship." He stated.

'Oh c'mon, I was hoping that Zoro would be a more reasonable one.' Weiss thought as Yang and a few others chuckle at Weiss's reaction.

Pyrrha smiled at how similar Coby and Jaune are or rather used to be. Everyone later on would realize on how much Pyrrha likes Coby and would most likely joke about... Most of it from Yang.

Jaune knows how that feels or rather he used to. All he had was his family along with all of his sisters, some friends to talk to. Then the fall of beacon, he didn't want to be a huntsman but he got back up by his friends. After that the rest is history, so what he heard about Coby so far, he will believe that Coby could do it. That Coby could become a Marine.

Penny tilted her head. "What does he mean about that?" She asked to herself as they saw Coby starting to realize.

Everyone started to realize where Zoro was going with this but kept quiet. Even Nora kept quiet to see where this will lead the pink haired boy.

"Don't underestimate the navy's info-gathering skills. If they find out about that, you'll never get to join." Zoro warns Coby.

"N-Now that you mention it..." Coby says.

A group of marines are outside and the commander opens the door and walks in. "Pardon me!" A familiar voice said. It was the lieutenant from before.

"Is it true that you are pirates?!" Lieutenant asked them.

"Yeah. I've gained a member and became a pirate group just now!" Luffy tells the lieutenant.

"We appreciate that you save our base and this town from that tyrant! However, now that we know you are pirates, in the name of the navy we cannot stand by quietly! You will leave this town at once! Out of obligation, we will refrain from contacting headquarters." The commander said.

"Hey, navy guy! How can you talk like that?!" A man shouts who was behind two marines.

"Even you guys were subdued and terrified of Morgan!" A random man's voice from the back said.

"We owe these people our lives!" A woman says.

"Yeah! Yeah!" A random civilian shouted.

"Well, guess we should go!" Luffy said.

"Oh no it's the Marines." Coco said worried as they saw a group of Marines coming. "Call them and they shall appear." Fox said sarcastically but still wondering why they are here.

Sun's eyes widened as he shorter figured out what going to happen. "Wait, don't tell me their..." He said as Luffy's pure honesty interrupted him.

"And he's being honest about it!?" Robyn shouted out in shock.

"Make sense they are still pirates after all." Pietro said knowing this as the most logical answer; Penny nodded in agreement as they all heard the civilians arguing them.

Luffy gets up from the chair with a sack of food on his hand. "Thanks for the food, lady!"

"You guys are leaving already?" Rika asked. She didn't want them to leave so soon.

"Yeah." Luffy tells Rika.

Luffy and Zoro walk pass Coby not saying goodbye to him.

"Aren't you part of their crew?" Commander asked.

"Eh? I... I'm..." Coby tried to say the words but he couldn't.

Luffy looked back but didn't say a word.

"Coby." Glynda quietly to herself worried for him.

"Come on kid, say it!" Roman shouts.

"Coby say your dream to the marine!" Neo support he pink hair boy's dream.

"He's afraid of not getting in. And that's understandable." Khan muttered.

"Please Coby don't be a coward like me..." Blake whispered to herself.

"Hold it!" The lieutenant says as that stops Luffy. "Well? Is he?!"

"I know what he's done until now." Luffy told the commander.

'Luffy-san! You wouldn't!' Coby thought to himself.

"There was this really fat pirate lady, I think her name was Ahiruda." Luffy says.

"What is he doing? He is going to get Coby caught." Emerald said out loud starting to get angry.

"He forgot about Alvida's name!" Sun laughed. "Sun, not right now." Scarlet said as he tried not to laugh as well.

"Luffy, stop!" Sage shouted out as he can't help but to reach out the kid. None of them realized that Vuk was having a smirk on his face.

"What's that idiot thinking?!" Vernal and Winter shouts as they wish that they had their sword to cut the screen.

"He's gonna screw up!" Tai shouts as the suspense was killing him.

"Luffy-san!" Coby says. 'If they find out I was on a pirate ship, I'll never get to join the navy!' He thought as there was sweat on his face.

"And she had this iron club. Man, she was an ugly hag! And for two whole years, this guy was her-" Luffy said as he walks over to Coby and poked him.

'Please don't! Please don't, Luffy-san!' Coby thought.

Coby punches Luffy making him stop talking which was what Luffy was hoping for. Luffy's hat falls off.

Luffy was smiling, "Now you've done it, you bastard!" Luffy said as he punched Coby over and over.

"Damn you! Damn you! Damn you!" Luffy says as he continues to punch coby. A plate on the wall fell and Zoro smile. He knew what Luffy was planning.

"What do you think you're doing you dolt, cut it out!" Summer said now getting angry as she thought she seriously misjudges him. Now Nora is smirking as she figured what Luffy is planning. Ren look at his childhood friend with a raised eyebrow.

Mostly everyone was surprised that it was all staged when they saw Zoro then Luffy smile.

"Wait so he planned it!?" Ruby shouted out in surprise as they saw Luffy and Coby punching each other. "Yep little sis, it is to make sure the Marines bring their attention away from Coby and to let him in the navy." Yang said with a knowing smile as Nora nodded reaching the same conclusion making everyone else even more surprise. It's a shock when Yang or even Nora for that matter has figured it out first. And that Luffy even planned it.

"It's about time for you guys to figure it out!" Vuk tells them. "Wait! You knew?!" Everyone shouted at the deity. "Of course."

And to prove the damn point.

"Stop that!" The lieutenant yelled, "We won't allow you to cause any more trouble in this town!"

Zoro grabs Luffy by the back of his shirt. "Hey! You've gone too far. That's enough." Zoro tells Luffy to stop.

Luffy stops punching Coby. And Coby fell lying on the floor. "It's very clear that you guys aren't crewmates! Now leave this town at once!" Lieutenant tells them.

Luffy grins and puts his hat back on. Coby looks at Luffy and Zoro leaving the room. 'On purpose... He did that on purpose...' Coby thought, "He did it for me.' Luffy and Zoro are going down the street to the sail boat. 'He purposely got me riled up to make me hit him... Even in the very end, I wound up relying on him! Nothing's changed at all! Am I an idiot?!'

Summer was still angry even after the revelation of the situation. It was an affective plan yet a very risky one. 'That idiot didn't need to take it that far.' She thought as she just can't admit that Luffy can be smart sometimes.

They saw them leave as Coby was just lying there finally figured out what just happen.

"Coby." Robyn said quietly worrying for Coby again.

"Even in the end Coby needed to be pushed." Ozpin stated.

Zoro and Luffy heading down to the boats, Luffy carrying a sack over his shoulder, and Zoro placing his swords back to his side. But Coby knew that when he stood up he will make a stand.

"Please!" Coby shouted as the commander looked back at him, "Please... let me join the navy! I'll gladly do chores or anything else! If it means I can be a marine!" Coby said. The boy was bowing down in respect.

Lieutenant Colonel! I'm against the idea! A marine tells the lieutenant. "I still don't fully trust this kid! There have been cases of marines being pirate spies! We'll first need to conduct a background check..."

"I'm a man who will become a navy officer!" Coby yelled. He has a burning heart and he won't give up on his dream!

The lieutenant was gazing down at Coby and he could see his passion of becoming a marine.

The lieutenant's gaze. Even though he wasn't looking at them it feels like he was looking right through them. Even Hazel sweated a bit as he waited for his answer.

Everyone was hoping for Coby to get an answer. "He better say yes to Coby!" Nora yelled. "Ms. Valkyrie calm down!" Glynda told her.

"Hey Vuk are there any snacks?" Tai asked. "You'll get snacks after this viewing." Vuk says.

"It feels like being integrated by James again." Watts whispered.

"The lieutenant has to accept." Port muttered as he would certainly let the boy join Beacon if he was here.

'The marine is right to have suspicious of Coby but he isn't a pirate.' Winter though to herself.

"Coby has a good heart to be a marine not like Helmeppo." Wiess quietly said.

"He has to make it in." Coco says.

Lieutenant walk towards Coby "Countless comrades of ours have been killed by pirates. Don't take the navy lightly."

"Then I'm..." Coby

"Permission to join granted!"

"Yes, sir!" Coby shouted as he saluted.

Luffy and Zoro are both going down the street towards the docks, Luffy carrying a big sack over his shoulder, and Zoro placing his swords to his side.

The screen changed to the port where the girl is untying the boat then look at the fake map. Then the scene change again to Zoro and Luffy as they walk to the boat.

"That was a lame act." Zoro said to him, "Wouldn't be shocked if they saw through it."

"Coby should be able to handle the rest on his own now. I just know it." Luffy said confidently.

"It's a nice way to leave, though." Zoro said as they came to the small boat, "Being unable to turn back 'cause everyone hates you... it's pirate like!"

"That's true!" Luffy laughed as he untied the rope. "Luffy-san!" called a familiar voice and Luffy and Zoro looks up to see that Coby, Rika, and her mother were there.

Coby stood there for a moment, before he sprang into a salute. "Thank you! I'll never forget all you've done for me!"

"That was a lame act?" Neptune repeated in confusion, "Cuz it looked real to me."

"Oh!" Penny called happily, "So they did come!"

"After all that, why think that they wouldn't?" Ilia asked grinning.

Fox giggled. "You can thank Luffy for that." Yatsuhashi says.

"A farewell from Coby to Luffy." Oobleck said.

"Hopefully we get to see the kid later." Sienna told the rest.

"Never though I see the day that an officer saluting a criminal. Much less a pirate." Roman smirked.

"I've never heard of a pirate being thanked by a marine..." Zoro said as he smiled. Luffy grinned as well as they spread the sail and shoved off. "Let's meet again sometime, Coby!"

"Luffy-san..." Coby mouthed as Rika cried out happily, "Bye!"

The marines shown up as well. "All hands, salute!" The lieutenant said. They sprang into salutes like Coby did to see them off.

"See ya!" Luffy cried out as he waved goodbye.

"Hey look! The marines are there as well!" Jaune cried out.

Winter eyes widened when she saw all the Marines salutes towards Luffy. "Well, that's a thing." Oscar said simply astonish by the way Luffy affected the town. And it wasn't even a day since he began as a pirate.

"Marines seeing pirates off isn't unusual," Ren said in a surprise tone, "But usually, they do that by running them out of a town."

"That's a great friend have there." The lieutenant tells Coby.

Coby was about to cry after hearing that but then toughen up and say, "Yes, sir!"

"Our salute just now is in violation of naval law! Therefore, we will all go without food for three days! Understood?!" Lieutenant says.

"Yes, sir!" The marines shouted.

'I'm sure... I'm sure we'll meet again sometime, somewhere, Luffy-san! Even if we're divided as pirates and marines... let's meet again someday!' Coby thought to himself.

The sail boat was sailing forward to wherever it was going.

"Alright! Our pirate crew finally sets sail!" Luffy cried out.

"Looks like some pretty good adventures'll be waiting for us." Zoro said coolly from the back of the boat.

"I will be King of the Pirates!" Luffy smiled happily at those words.

Zoro gazed at him as if he were a difficult riddle and asked, "You really seem obsessed about this King of the Pirates thing. Is there some sorta reason for it?

"No reason." Luffy told him, "It's just..."

"It's just?" Zoro asked.

'I swore to a certain man that..." Luffy said. A flashback shows a man giving Luffy the straw hat. "Someday I would gather a great crew, find the world's greatest treasure, and become the King of the Pirates!"

"This straw hat knows!" He grinned as he finished.

"I see..." Zoro smirked as he gazed up at the sky.

"Alright! Let's go!" Luffy cried out eagerly as they headed towards the setting sun, "Set sail for the Grand Line!"

The screen turns dark and it loads for the next one.

That caught everyone's attention especially to RWBY. Even Weiss can't help but wonder why Luffy has such a dream.

"A promise?" Robyn wondered as they saw a man giving Luffy the straw hat.

"Getting a little ahead of himself isn't he?" Summer asked, though unable to find any scorn to use in her voice as she smiled.

"You think that guy is Luffy's dad?" Velvet asked. Her team shrugged.

"Funny that Luffy only met Zoro because he just heard a rumor about him," Ozpin stated, looking at his colleagues. "If Luffy hadn't, Zoro be dead..."

"I guess Zoro should count his blessings," Qrow said unconcerned.

"Is it over?" Vernal asked.

"No not even close because now you folks will see Luffy's past!" Du told them.

"Really?!" Pyrrha asked. She wanted to know more about luffy.

"But first..." Vuk snaps his fingers and snacks and drinks appeared out of nowhere. "Grab a snack if you're hungry."

Everyone except Vuk grabbed their own snacks and drinks for the next screening.

Ruby and Summer had their cookies and juice. The rest some had food or junk food or sea food or an energy bar and water.

Vuk fed his pets again and throws another orb to start the next viewing.

"You guys ready?" He asked.

"Yeah!" They all shouted. The students wanted to see Luffy as a kid. The adults wanted to see the man that gave luffy the straw hat and how luffy got his devil fruit powers.

The screen turns on again and it shows a sunny day in the middle of the sea. There was a ship whose sail had a skull with a red round nose and that ship had three men with a chest and it had treasure.

"Another big haul today!" The first pirate said.

"Buggy-sama won't be mad at us, now that we got all this!" The second pirate says.

"Huh?" The third pirate said, "Hey, check it out..." The other two pirates look over and they could see a boat seen in the distance.

"What's with that boat?" asked the second pirate.

In the boat it was the same orange haired girl who was unconscious.

"Hey it's the same girl. But what happened to the girl?" Blake asked.

"I think she passed out from not eating." Pietro shrugged.

"I think she could be pretending." Hazel commented.

What are you saying Hazel?" Neo narrowed her eyes.

"Just watch." Hazel said.

Many growled in disgust at the leery grins those pirates were sporting. Months spent sailing the seas were hard without female's touch, no one denied that. Yet it was no reason to jump on the first thing with a short skirt without getting consent just to satiate their urges. And helping a woman in need just for an off chance to get in her pants was especially despicable.

"I-It's a girl!" The second pirate said.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?" The first pirate asked.

"Oh! Am I dreaming? Running into someone on this wide open sea..." said the orange haired girl, "I-I don't who you are, but... water... Might I ask for a cup of water? I can give you all the money you'd like. Please, help me!"

"No problem! We'll help you!" The first pirate said, "But not until we what treasure ya got!" The three pirates got on the boat to see how much treasure she has. "Don't mind us." The second pirate says.

"I can't get it open... Does it go like this?" The first pirate said as he's taking off the lock of the chest, when opening a stuffed panda. The stuff panda scares them. Then they notice that the girl was gone. The fact that the weak, starving and dehydrated girl was actually quite healthy and just stole their boat. "You can keep my entire boat, if you'd like!" She says.

"Our boat!" The second pirate shouts.

"You tricked us!" The first pirate yelled.

"How very convenient..." Trailed Sage with a grin, having figured out young woman's plan.

"Hook, line and sinker. Very impressive." Commented Torchwick, looking over the girl's strategy with a critical eye.

"I would have done better." Emerald said with confident.

"See." Hazel commented with a half smile.

"She fooled them good!" Glynda giggled.

"You go girl!" Vernal shouted.

Everyone pitied those three, and even Du was having a tough time to keep himself from smirking at the girl's trick.

The orange haired girl sees something forming in the sky. "A cold front accompanied by low clouds spotted in the southern sky! Intense winds and squalls expected very soon! All small boats take caution not to capsize!" She says. The three pirates look up to the sky. As if it was a magic word called forth by a witch, they were showered by an abrupt rainstorm, one violent enough that girl's small boat was quickly overwhelmed by the weight of the water causing it to start moving from one side to the other causing it to sink.

"Bingo! See ya! I'll just take your treasure now!" The girl says as she sails away.

"Wait! You bitch-! We'll get you for this-!" The third pirate yelled but he couldn't finish his sentence as he ended up drowning.

Port whistled in appreciation. He had to learn very hard to master navigational skills when he was young, but the girl seems to be a natural at it. Such a tough job, but she made it look so easy.

"I bet she is a witch!" Weiss said with a surprise impression

"She has to be a greedy girl that wants to be rich." Watts stated.

"They're idiots!" Summer laughed.

'I wonder what their reactions will be meeting laboon for the first time' Du thought.

"We will see Luffy before he ate Gomu Gomu fruit!?" asked Ruby with stars in her eyes

Yes and you'll also see the man that gave luffy his hat." Answered Vuk while he started to play COD 2 Black Ops on Xbox series s.

The screen changed and it showed Luffy and Zoro. In the boat they acquired from Shells Town, Zoro was leaning on the ship's mast, one arm securing his swords. Luffy was leaning on the boat's side, suddenly extremely bored. After a short while, he looked like someone who had just given up on trying to pick out shapes from the clouds. He didn't seem to mind Zoro staring at him.

Zoro was evaluating him, really. Particularly his skin. You could tell from someone's skin whether they have spent their life fighting or if they have never done any weight lifting beyond heavy groceries. Luffy's skin was a disaster and showed the world he was used to taking punches. His muscles were solid too. Not the kind Zoro has – the ones you get from dedicated and repetitive training, but the kind of muscles one acquires by endless fists given and fists received. He wondered about the scar. It was too neat to be accidental, and Zoro figured he had been abused at some point, except that Luffy lacks all behavioural indicators that clue people on the idea that this guy has been abused.

"I'm starving..." Luffy moaned.

"When the hell're we gonna reach land?" Zoro asked as he yawned.

"Who knows. We're just going with wind and waves, after all... I wonder if we'll reach land... Nah, I'm sure we will, sometime." Luffy replied.

"Isn't it kind of weird that someone tryin' to be King of the Pirates... doesn't even have any navigational skills?!" Zoro asked.

"Pfft," Ren snickered.

"Are you kidding me?!" Glynda yelled.

"He wants to be pirate king but he has no idea where's he is going?!" Ilia screamed

"Shouldn't they have someone who knows about navigation?" Yang asked.

"You're only noticing that now?" Ozpin said with one eyebrow raised.

"They will later, and you'll know who it will be." Vuk says as he keeps playing his video game and almost breaks the controller in half. 

Nora was watching Vuk playing his game and she wanted to join in on the fun.

"It's not weird. I just drifted around. But aren't you a bounty hunter who wandered the high seas?" Luffy asked as he looks over to Zoro.

"I have no memory of ever even calling myself a bounty hunter." Zoro said as he looks up in the sky, "I set onto the sea in search of a" Zoro said as he looks up in the sky, "I set onto the sea in search of certain man... but then couldn't get back to my village. I had no choice, so I just went after pirate ships to earn a living."

"Oh. So you're just lost." Luffy says, and his voice calm and controlled.

But the undertone made Zoro's skin itch. "Don't put it like that!" Zoro scream with an angry comic face as he stomps the boat, causing luffy's hat to go over the boat's sail.

The scene on the screen slowed down, emphasizing it.

"Shanks!" Luffy said as he was looking at his hat.

A flashback plays out and it showed a red haired man throws the straw hat and grabs it and does it again. "This straw hat is dear to me... it's been with me through many a fight. Luffy. I can't give this even to you." The man said.

Zoro and Luffy got up and went for the hat before it off with the wind. Zoro ends up catching it and then Shanks' face was shown. He had three scars that were engraved onto his face and his flaming red hair.

Everyone was surprised as the scene on the screen slowed down, emphasizing that the straw hat is important.

Only one question seemed to pop out in their minds.

Why show the flashback so early?

"Is that Shanks?" Tai asked.

"Yep that's Red Haired Shanks." Vuk said as he did not take his sights off of the Xbox. He button smash and pulled off something a random stupid kill .

"So that's what Shanks looks like, huh? He is more handsome than I thought." Robyn murmurs.

"He looks kinda cool." Mercury noted.

"I bet he's really strong!" Nora yells.

Shanks' crew were having a drink and party with bated breaths and peaked curiosity when the scene shifted to show Shanks sitting at the bar, a young boy by his side.

"Then take me on your next voyage, Shanks! I wanna be a pirate too!" Luffy said.

Shanks laughed out loud. "As if you could ever be a pirate!" Shanks asked him in a teasing way.

"Why not?!" Luffy asked. The screen then showed a fairly tall, lanky looking man with jet-black grey hair that was tied into ponytail. And he finished his cigar as he looked at the kid.

"Luffy." said a voice next to him and luffy turns to see a man leaning back in his chair with his feet up on the table. The man's skin was tanned and sea worn as his sandy blond hair fell over his face... but he was looking directly to the blue bandana he was wearing... and the name written on it... 'Yasopp'. "Just bein' a good swimmer doesn't mean you'd make a good pirate." The man says.

The man was next to a really fat guy who has an eternal grin on his face and red-tinted glasses that covering eyes. He also had giant piece of meat in his hand and was currently bitten into it.

"I'm good at fighting too! My punches are like pistols!" Luffy said, punching the air in front of him.

"Oh, really?" Shanks asked, going back to his plate of food in front of him.

"What's that mean?!" Luffy asked with an angry comic face.

"He means you're too much of a kid, Luffy!" The fat pirate said.

"Seriously, you're as old as my own kid!" The blonde hair man says.

"I'm not a kid Yasopp! I'm a grownup Lucky Roo!" Luffy tells them.

"Now, now. Don't get so mad! Here! Have some juice!" Shanks said, putting a small glass in front of him.

Luffy's anger disappeared like magic. "Wow! Thanks!" he said, taking a sip.

Shanks roared out laughing so hard that he was pounding the bar with his hand, "See, you are a kid! Ha!"

Girls instantly cooed at the sheer adorableness that was roughly five or six years old Luffy.

"What's so funny now?" Penny asked.

"But I like juice," Nora said in confusion.

"Shank's is just teasing him, Nora," Jaune laughed. "I'm liking this guy already..."

"They seem like very good people," Ren added. "Like they have a lot of fun no matter where they go."

"You walked right into that one, Luffy." Winter giggled at his childness. Glynda was fighting down the urge to squeal. There was something about little kids that made her feel warm and fuzzy inside even if they were pirates.

"They get so along so well." Robyn added.

"Luffy's dad has to be Shanks!" Roman says.

"Luffy doesn't have red hair you moron!" Mercury scoffs.

"I mean that's kinda dumb and where's your evidence to back your words?" Neo questioned.

"Screw you two!" Torchwick yelled.

"I wonder what luffy's mother looks like?" Sun asked.

"That wasn't fair, Shanks!" Luffy scream, making all the pirates laugh. "Don't laugh! Benn stop chuckling! Stupid cheapskate Shanks!"

Outside the bar comes a man who breaks the entrance with a kick. "Pardon us." the man in the front said, obviously the leader of the group, before marching in. Luffy looked up at him in confusion as Makino stopped cleaning the glass and seemed to become tense, as if expecting a fight to break out.

Shanks did not pay attention to the man because he was eating.

"Oh... So these are "pirates." Look pretty damn dumb." The man said, stepping on the door and leaving a boot-shaped print in it.

The pirate crew didn't say anything as they kept a close watch on the bandits, still waiting to see what they would do. The group approached the bar, with Luffy watching as Makino walked forward to greet them. "Welcome..." she said. There was a hint of uneasiness in her tone, but she stood in front of him with a forced smile.

"We're mountain bandits." the man smirked at her. The man is quite tall and very lanky. He also had a dirty and disheveled appearance as he tracked dirt into the bar.

"Really?" Winter asked sarcastically. "We hadn't notice."

"I would have to open the door; I wouldn't need to kick it." Summer said having a drop of sweat.

And the good atmosphere created by on-screen bickering between Shanks and little Luffy was gone in an instant.

"Who are these losers?" Qrow asked darkly.

"They look like bandits to me," Tai claimed.

Weiss raised an eyebrow. "Is he stupid or something?"

Glynda crossed her arms. "Looks like a common thug to me."

"Oh boy, they're in for one nasty surprise." Vuk let out a low whistle. You have to be either a moron or suicidal to pick a fight with someone of Red Hair's caliber.

"But we ain't here to tear up the place." A group of men came inside. There were a large number of them; all of them were wearing white shirts with turbans. Mostly alike with smug smiles on their suspicious-looking faces. As if they were plotting something...

"Sell us some booze. Ten barrels oughta do." The man said.

"I'm sorry. I just ran out of alcohol." The green haired woman says.

"That's odd." The bandit said as his eyebrows raised, "These pirates seem to be drinking something... What is it, water?"

"No, what they're drinking is the last of it." The lady answered him.

"My apologies. Looks like we drank the whole place dry." Shanks said as he looked up at the bandit. The leader bandit looks down at Shanks. "Sorry!" Shanks then held up the bottle to the bandit. "You can have this, if you'd like. It hasn't been opened yet."

The bandit's eyes suddenly darkened, as if he couldn't believe that Shanks would dare speak in front of him. The bandit raised his arm and hit the bottle and breaks it, leaving Makino and Luffy gasped at the sight; though the pirates didn't seem fazed by it at all as they turned to their captain—whose head was down with the hat shading his eyes so they couldn't see his face.

"They should go home before Shanks tears them a new one." Nora said as she was too slow to duck and a few winced a bit as Blake's hand collided with the back of ginger's head.

"Language!" Blake says.

Vernal smiled at young woman's courage.

"You go, girl! Tell 'em!" Cheered young huntress woman, Ruby, jumping out of her seat and attracting everyone's attention. Yang sighed in resignation before grabbing a hold of her wrist and pulling her down.

"Aw, that's nice of him. Shanks truly is an honorable man," Sienna said.

"A nice gesture, but I doubt they will accept it." Furrowed his brows Hazel.

"That wasn't necessary!" Oscar yelled.

"Ohh, a bar fight! It's been awhile since the last time I've participated in those!" Vuk grinned in excitement.

The bandit suddenly took out a wanted poster that has his name and slammed it onto the bar. "See this There's an eight million Berry bounty on my head, you know." The bandit said coldly, "One bottle ain't even enough for a bedtime drink!" The bandit went on, "Don't insult me!"

Everyone on Shanks' crew carefully watched the unfolding events. Shanks didn't move from spot as liquor dripped from his hat. It was quiet for a brief moment before Shanks looked up, "Now the floor's all wet," Shanks said in dismay as he got down from his stool and knelt down and began picking up the broken shards of glass, "Sorry about that, Makino-san. Do you have a rag?"

Makino looked surprised. "Oh, I'll do that!"

But as she stepped out, Higuma glared down at Shanks in annoyance drew his sword. The mountain bandit slashed it along the bar, cutting a groove into the wood and sending everything on it crashing to the floor to make an even bigger mess and broke an entire row of bottles on the counter, spilling more sake on top of Shanks.

Some of the audience expected Shanks to teach the bandit, but what he did surprised all of them.

Vuk began to laugh like an insane bastard and everyone turns to look at him. "It's so fucking low! My cousins both have a bigger bounty than him!" He says.

"What's with him?" Weiss yelled out furiously. "I know that his crew drank all the sake, but that's no reason to act like a jerk!"

"That piece of shit! That was rude!" Velvet shouted leaving everyone in shock.

"Higuma, huh?" Scarlet said as he looked at the wanted poster.

"What a waste of perfectly good sake," Qrow sighed tragically.

"Seems you like to clean. Then maybe you'll find this more fulfilling." He sneered at Shanks, who was now leaned up against the bar seat, now soaked with sake. "Not worth our time if they're out of booze. Let's go!" He then called to his men as he puts his sword away and with that, the band of bandits turned and filed out of the tavern.

"Later wimps!" the leader called over his shoulder with a sneer as he left.

Luffy who was shaking in his seat—but not from fear, rather with anger. The only sound left was coming from the remaining door swinging squeakily from its hinges.

As soon as the bandits left the bar, Makino ran to Shanks' side. Makino quickly kneeled down next to Shanks. "Are you alright, Captain?" she asked worriedly, using the towel in her hand to help clean him up. "Are you hurt?!"

Shanks merely waved his hand at her. "Oh, I'm fine. It's no problem at all." He reassured her before he grinned. And as if he broke a curse, his crew broke out into loud, energetic laughter at their captain, with Shanks laughing louder than any of them.

"He got you, boss!" Yasopp yelled laughing.

"Talk about lame!" Lucky Roo laughed as well as Shanks kept laughing loud with Makino still there trying to clean him up.

Luffy jump up onto his seat, looking furious at them all with his fists clenched tightly at his sides. "WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?!" Luffy then yelled and caused everyone to look over at him. "THAT WAS SO UNCOOL!WHY DIDN'TYOU FIGHT THEM?! NO MATTER HOW MANY THERE ARE OR HOW STRONG THEY SEEM, YOU'RE NOT MEN OR PIRATES IF YOU LAUGH AFTER SOMETHING LIKE THAT!"

"Why are they laughing?" Pietro questioned.

"Luffy doesn't look to happy," Penny pointed out, seeing Luffy getting mad at them being humiliated.

"Well, that's kind of harsh," Coco said slowly, taken aback by Luffy's rage.

"They're laughing why?" Weiss asked.

"Yeah their captain got humiliated and they're freaking laughing?!" Yang yelled.

"Why aren't they fighting back?" Nora asked in worried.

"Nora," Jaune smiled, waving his hand down at her. "It's one of the first rules you gotta learn out here. Sometimes there are fights that aren't worth getting angry over." He looked over to Yang as he said that.

"I can understand how you feel," Shanks said calmly, looking up at him from the floor, "But he only spilled some booze on me. It's not worth getting mad over."

"Whatever!" Luffy huffed at him as he looked over to the chest sitting next to him and then reached in and grab something.

It is a violet, spherical shaped fruit with a stem sprouting out of the top, with swirls that go in a curly "S" like-pattern.

The adults took in captain's words, nodding in agreement. A man needs to be able to pick his fights. It was only unfortunate that even this young Straw Hat Luffy had enough inner rage to pick all of them.

"That's a funniest looking fruit. What kind of fruit is that?" Fox asked.

"That's a devil's fruit." Vuk says as he continues to play COD 2 Black OPs. His hands were red and sweaty.

Port and Oobleck hearing it was a Devil's Fruit, They ran at a full speed over to Du and as they approach him. They put their face very close to him.

"Did you say Devil's Fruit?!" They both asked with a look of excitement.

"Yes" Vuk said as he hadn't taken his eyes off from the Xbox to see that Ruby was close. 'They're too fucking close to me. I'm not gonna lose my high score cuz of these two!' He thought with a drop of sweat.

"Which one?!" They both asked with little stars in their eyes having their notebook in their hands.

"It's the Gomu Gomu no Mi." Vuk answered with a nervous smile.

"Marvelous!" They both screamed in excitedly as they were writing down notes.

Everyone had a sweatdrop on their back of their head.

Luffy took a big bite of it. Shanks had wiped off the straw hat before he put it back on and looked up at Luffy. "Eating out of frustration, Luffy?"

"Shut up!" Luffy said through a mouthful of fruit.

Shanks blinked before they widened in panic, realizing that something was wrong. "Wait, what're you eating?!" he shouted just as Luffy finished swallowing.

"That box! Did you eat what was in that box?!" Shanks yelled, getting up and staring at him in horror.

"Y-Yeah..." Luffy said. Luffy just looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he seemed so upset.

Shanks grabbed him and turned him upside down, shaking him. "Spit it out! Right now! Every last bite!"

"W-What're you doing, Shanks?!" Luffy cried and that was when his legs stretched out and he literally fell flat on his face. He hung there comically for a few seconds before he bounced right back up.

"Don't worry, Luffy. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a stress eater. I would know." Ilia casually commented and a few were surprised at how relatable this white fang member seemed so far.

"Seeing Shanks being worried is concerning." Sage says.

Everyone roared in laughter as they saw Luffy hitting a floor with his face after his legs stretch, Devil Fruit's effect already kicking in. The laugher only doubled when not even a minute later Luffy bounced right back like a rubber.

"Wait a minute... He had just eaten the fruit that gave him his powers?!" Yatsuhashi yelled.

"He really is an idiot." Watts muttered.

"This is Shanks' fault for leaving Devil Fruit laying around in a tavern where anyone could get it." Sienna mentioned.

Luffy was staring ahead of him, his face slightly red from where it hit the floor. But his eyes were wide in shock as he asked, "What... was that?"

Shanks lifted him up so that they were eye to eye and he shouted out, "What you ate was the Gomu Gomu no Mi! The Gomu Gomu no Mi is known as a Devil Fruit! Eating it turns your body to rubber, and makes you lose the ability to swim for the rest of your life!" (Gomu Gomu no Mi = Gum-Gum Fruit)

Luffy stared freaking out. "EH?! NO WAY!" He shouted.

"YOU DUMBASS!" Shanks yelled.

Everyone was confused by what they heard from Shanks. They had only one though 'Lose the ability to swim?'

"What did Shanks mean by losing the ability to swim?" Penny asked.

"It's better for folks to see it but," Vuk answered as he keeps playing, "When someone consumes a Devil Fruit you acquire a weakness that is the sea. The sea rejects the consumer of a Devil Fruit, making them defenseless to be submerged becomes a 'hammer', and they are unable to move and they will either drown or die."

"That scares me not to be able to move." Blake trembled.

"What a disturbing fact." Summer said as she felt a cold chill down her spine.

"If Luffy falls into the water he will die or drown?" Sage asks in a worried tone.

"Correct." Vuk answered.

Minutes later the bar was seen in ruins. A lady was running somewhere.

Then, there was a flash of someone running before they saw Luffy being slammed against a barrel.

"People were drinkin' and havin' a nice time. What's the idea, boy?" Higuma asked.

"Damnit! Apologize! How dare you make fun of Shanks and his crew!" Luffy shouted. Luffy has multiple bruises on his face and arms by getting his ass beat by Higuma and the bandits.

Makino was running to get some help. "Did I say something to offend you?" Higuma asked smugly.

"You did!" Luffy screamed as he attempted to push Higuma's foot off his head. "Now apologize!"

"Mayor!" Makino said as she opening the door of the mayor house. "What's wrong Makino?" The mayor asked. The scene changed to Makino and the mayor running to the square to rescue Luffy.

The screen shows the flashback of Higuma and his bandits having a drink in the bar.

"You see the looks on those pirates' faces?!" The first bandit says.

"He got covered in booze but didn't say a word! Talk about pathetic!" The second bandit said.

"Pirates are just a bunch of wimps. They're nothing but talk." Higuma laughed cruelly as he drunk his sake.

Luffy felt his anger rise as he listened to the bandits badmouth Shanks.

"Luffy don't do it!" Blake worried.

"He's gonna do it!" Ren shouted.

"That idiot!" Hazel frowned.

"To be fair those bandits did provoke him." Tai says.

"I don't like this." Ruby bit her lip.

"None of us do," Qrow said, folding his arms and shutting his eye. "But what else can we do?"

Ozpin gave a frustrated sigh and frowned. "There isn't really much we can do about it," he said, "We don't really have a choice in the matter."

"This is bullshit! I feel so helpless!" Yang said as she cracks her knuckles. "And I want to get rid of my anger at those bandits!"

"This is wrong!" Vernal says as she clenched her first, "And here we are powerless to change anything! It's so infuriating!"

'Release your anger and feel powerless and helpless to do nothing to change it.' Vuk tells himself.

Luffy looked up at them all at once, shaking in anger.

Luffy got up and yelled as he jumped up onto his seat, "Stop it!" At those words, everyone in the bar was now looking at him as he kept screaming out, "Stop making fun of Shanks and his crew! They're not wimps!"

Makino's looked terrified as she grabbed him and tried to tell him to be quiet. "Stop, Luffy!" she cried, but he ignored her as he went on to yell, "Stop making fun of Shanks and the others! You stupid bandits!"

The entire area was surrounded by people watching the beating. Makino and the mayor arrived at the square. Makino was right beside the mayor with a look of concern on her face.

"You oughta watch your month, boy." Higuma asked him with a scowl. "No one who's ever made me mad has lived to tell the tale." Higuma puts more pressure on Luffy's head. He is about to pull out his sword.

"Wait!" The mayor yelled. Makino, hands clasped tightly looking terrified as she breathed hard, the Mayor was there with her as they stood in front of the bandits. "Let the boy go! Please!"

The Mayor came forward and he said, "I don't know what Luffy has done, nor do I intend to fight with you!" He said, "If you're not offended, I'll even pay you! Just, please! Spare the boy's life!" The mayor then fell to his knees.

"Mayor Woop Slap!" Luffy whispered.

Higuma smirked at Woop Slap. "Leave it to senior citizens to know how the world works. But no, it's too late for him now. After all, he's made me angry..." Higuma took out his sword.

"I guess Luffy will be let go right?" Sage said, thinking it was going to end well.

"You gotta give it to the old man. He definitely knows how to deal with bandits." Said Fox, impressed.

"What?" Penny yelled out. "He's not going to let Luffy go!?"

"Did you really expect him too?" Coco asked angrily, "Jerks like him never keep their word even if they give it to you."

"This is bullshit!" Jaune roared.

"I wanna... see Higuma die!" Pyrrha yelled.

"As do I Ms. Nikos." Pietro says.

"I know I'm going to regret but I want the bandit die as well." Robyn added.

"I'm asked Du if there is a simulation room to kick Higuma's ass." Oobleck replied.

"You're not the only one who wants to see if there is a simulation." Port stated

"I wonder if there's a training room to use to improve my skills." Weiss asked herself.

"I will ask Du for some music to listen when this is over." Winter commented.

"Calm down all of you! I know you feel angry and want to hurt the man but let the world's fate decide Higuma's death." Ozpin told them.

"You're the bad guys! You mountain apes!" Luffy yelled.

"You're a lost cause, kid. You can regret all this in the next life!" Higuma tells Luffy.

"Luffy!" Makino scream, she was close to tears.

Woop Slap grasped in horror. "Please! Let him go!"

"I was wondering why the bar was empty..." A familiar causal voice from behind them. Makino and the Mayor spun around in time to see Shanks and his crew standing behind them. Shanks grinned brightly as he came forward. "...looks like it's those mountain bandits from before." He said.

"Captain!" Makino called out in relief.

Higuma looks over and sees Shanks and his crew.

"Shanks!" Luffy says.

"So you pirates are still here, huh? Have you been scrubbing the village clean this whole time?" Higuma sneered at Shanks.

Shanks glanced down at Luffy and smiled in amusement. "Luffy!" Shanks said. He turning his teasing grin on Luffy, "I thought your punches were as strong as pistols?" he says.

"S-Shut up!" Luffy snarled from where he was. But he looked more embarrassed than angry.

"Oh good!" Velvet cried out happily. "Shanks will take care of everything."

"I have to agree, now's not the time," Nora said.

"I hope so," Brook said softly as they looked back to the screen showing the helpless Luffy, still fighting to get up.

"Kick his ass Shanks!" Neptune yelled.

"Give him a beating until he bleeds!" Qrow shouts.

"I wonder how powerful Shanks is?" Scarlet questioned.

"How powerful is his crew?" Pietro asked.

"I wonder how many members will luffy have by traveling through the grand line?" Glynda asked.

https://youtu.be/WDQZHk3Bx0M

Shanks ignore the sly remark and began to walk towards the bandit. "I dunno why you're here, but you'd best leave before you get hurt." Higuma warned. "Any closer and he'll shoot your head off, wimp."

Shanks kept walking until one of the bandits pointed a gun at his head.

"He said no closer!" The bandit said with a cocky grin, "Don't make me blow your head off!" He raised a gun and pointed it straight at Shanks's head.

He cocked the gun, and the other bandits laughed.

Shanks did stop here, but he didn't look worried. He was still smiling as if this was all his idea. "Put your life on the line." Shanks said casually.

The bandit looked equally unnerved by Shanks' words. "Huh?" the bandit asked stupidly.

"Now that you've drawn your pistol, put your on the line." Shanks

"What the hell're you talkin' about?" The bandit asked.

Shanks explained calmly pointing to the gun in his face, "I'm saying those aren't for threatening people."

Before the bandit with the gun could contemplate those words. He was shot point black by Lucky Roo standing there with the smoking gun and the bandit was dead on the ground while—still eating a slab of meat, no less.

Everyone was staring at him in shock and surprise.

"Whoa!" Coco jumped in fright, Ruby following in suit. It was so sudden! They had a hard time understanding how a man of such impressive stature could move stealthily enough to sneak up on that bandit in plain sight.

"Holy crap! That was sudden!" Yang said.

Sun blinked several times. "Where the hell did he come from?"

Even Watts looked surprised. "No idea. He wasn't there a moment ago."

Others didn't even flinch.

"Imagine if he kicks other pirates or bandits but also eats a slab of meat." Hazel responded.

'A pirate cannot be a pirate, Admiral, Revolutionary or Warlord or if seeing someone being gunned is enough to get under your skin.' Vuk though.

Everyone else was staring at Lucky Roo in shock and stunned into silence, including Luffy.

"N-Now you'd done it!" A bandit yelled, enraged.

"These bastards fight dirty!" another bandit roared as Shanks' enraged.

"Dirty?" Yasopp scoffed coldly.

"Cut the crap. What, do you think you're dealing with saints or something?" Benn said as he was carrying a long rifle that was tucked into his yellow sash.

"You're looking at pirates!" Shanks said proudly.

"Shut up! You got nothin' to do with this in the first place!" a bandit screamed.

"Listen, bandits." He said calmly before he glared intently at the bandits. "Whether I'm splattered with alcohol or food or even spit on, most of the time I'd just laugh and forget about it." But then his face grew furious as he said, "But! No matter what the reason, anyone who hurts my friends has to pay!"

Luffy's face was filled with several emotions as he stared at his idol. "Shanks..." He whispered softly.

Higuma laughed at Shanks. "Has to pay huh?!" He returned Shanks' glare with one of his own. "Lousy pirates! Kill 'em, men!"

And like that, the bandits gave a loud battle cry and they all raised their weapons and charged ahead towards the Red-Hair Pirates.

Ben casually walked towards the charging bandits. "I'll handle this. Should be easy enough."

Shanks just smiled as his friend strode forward, pulling out the rifle he had tucked in the sash at his waist, stance relaxed and casual. Without even firing a single shot, he beats all the bandits by using only the butt end of it. The 'fight' lasted less than four or five seconds.

The bandits were all lying face-down in the dirt.

One of the bandits' sword went into the air and it spinned and it struck near Higuma's feet.

"Don't get cocky, bandit. If you wanna fight us, then go drag a warship here or somethin'." Benn said coldly as he pointed his gun at Higuma.

"So strong!" Luffy whispered in awe.

"Luffy took the words out of my mouth," Robyn said.

"That was awesome!" Oscar yelled.

"Finally! What took so long for that fool to get his ass kicked?!" Sienna said.

"So cool!" The students cheered.

"I'm starting to like this now." Tai stated.

"Does Benn have devil fruit powers?" Watts asked.

'No. None of Shanks' crew doesn't have any devil fruit powers." Du said.

"Really?" Penny asked.

"Yes really. Not all devil fruit users are strong; some without devil fruit powers are very strong." Vuk says as he continues to play. "You assholes shouldn't always need to rely on powers to be strong. Just like the maidens. The four maidens' powers are pointless."

Port and Oobleck were writing furiously that smoke was coming out of their pens.

"Take that you fake bandit fool!" Vernal said.

Staring at his defeated men, Higuma completely lost his previous composure and began to sweat bullets. Only now did he realize the true strength of the pirates.

In fact, he grew pale and was now backing away, "H-Hold on! The kid attacked us!"

Shanks smirked. "You are a wanted man." he taunted him.

Higuma backed away from Shanks. "Damn it!" He suddenly tossed a smoke bomb onto the ground. The smoke quickly covered everything, making it impossible to see.

"A smokescreen!" Shanks called out, "Luffy! Crap! I let my guard down! Luffy's gone! What do we do, guys?!"

"Quit freakin' the hell out, boss! It won't take us long to find him!" Lucky Roo said.

"I can't believe this guy..." Benn muttered.

"He's so cool!" Nora and Pyrrha yelled.

Hazel burst out laughing. "I'm being to really like these guys."

Mercury chuckled. "They are something else aren't they?"

A sudden change in Shanks's attitude gave them whiplash. Many sweatdropped at Shanks' ridiculous ability to go from intimidating to terrified in 0.5 seconds.

Vuk couldn't help it. He let out a snort.

The screen changed to show Higuma on a boat. In his hand was Luffy, struggling in the man's grip above water. The boat rocking in the water.

Higuma was laughing. "I made a clean getaway!" he said smiling evilly at Luffy, "They'll never expect a mountain bandit to escape onto the sea!"

"Damnit! Let me go, you stupid ape!" Luffy yelled at him, "I hope you die!"

"You wish! You're the gonna who's gonna die!" Higuma said, "After all, you've made me mad!"

He threw Luffy into the sea, "So long!"

Luffy flew through the air, as if in slow motion. 'Damnit! Damnit! Those guys are scum, but I couldn't even hit them once! Damnit!' Luffy thought before he hit the water. He ended up coming back up for a moment, but he was floundering in the sea, trying desperately to keep his head above water by started to splash around like a dying fish.

"Probably those who think you have some sense," Watts answered.

"That bastard!" Summer growled in fury, as the scene changed to show Higuma holding Luffy up above water.

"Luffy!" Glynda yelled in panic.

"No!" the others screamed in fear.

"That's going too far!" Neo roared.

"He's a coward." Roman frowned.

"Sorry I got no use for you anymore!" Higuma's laughed out loud, as if he couldn't think of anything funnier than watching the boy in front of him drowning. Higuma's sadistic laugh echoing through the air.

Absolutely everyone felt their moods lift up as they watched the beast destroy Higuma with the entire boat. It was short-lived, however, because now a Devil Fruit user Luffy was unable to swim.

"Huh, how is Luffy staying afloat?" Ilia asked. "He should be completely paralyzed."

"I think...could it be that since he has only eaten his Devil Fruit recently that it has not fully integrated into his body?" Weiss asked herself.

"But wouldn't Luffy get weakened by water before sinking like a rock...?" Sun furrowed her brows in confusion before turning to looking for an answer.

"Well..." Trailed off Vernal uncertainly. "I guess the reason why Luffy didn't immediately drown is because his body hasn't adapted to his Devil Fruit powers yet. It might take time for a human body to go through all the changes."

"Or, it could be pure primal fear keeping him going," Qrow said as he looked at the current events in dismay.

Those who didn't pay attention to a conversation between the small group chat flinched.

The water behind Higuma rose up. A Sea King rose up—looking like a large oversized brown eel with glowing red eyes and blue fins.

The mountain bandit stopped laughing as he was staring right in the face of a giant eel sea king.

"W-What the hell?!" Higuma yelled in complete terror. Just then, the Sea King opened its mouth wide as it closed its jaws around the boat, swallowing the bandit whole.

https://youtu.be/37wQtvZkwr4

The Sea King quickly took notice of Luffy, who was still splashing helpless in the water.

"Help!" Luffy screamed in panic. Luffy was near tears as he fought to move out of the way, but it took everything he had just to keep his head above water.

The Sea King went back into the water, charged for the kill.

The Sea King opened its jaw to eat Luffy whole. Luffy's terrified scream broke through the air. But then, a figure in the water holding Luffy clinging to the figure chest as the Sea King closed its jaw as it passed by them.

It was none other than Shanks.

"Someone help Luffy!" The boys yelled.

"Luffy is going to get eaten!" The villains screamed.

"WHAT IS THAT THING?!" The teachers shouted.

The women were panicking, "IT'S A MONSTER!"

"The beast is known as the Lord of the Coast, he is the smallest Sea King." Vuk commented as he got first place and won the match.

"Oh thank god it's Shanks!"

Luffy was surprised that Shanks saved him. "Shanks!" he whispered.

The sea king turned around, shocked seeing it had missed its prey. The sea king, however, suddenly became frozen in fear as Shanks glared at it.

"Get lost!" Shanks said, his voice as cold as ice. It sounded like a hissed. The sea king shivered for a moment as it stared into Shanks' eye before it submerged into the water again. This time, it didn't come back.

"I'm in your debt, Luffy..."Shanks said with a big grin,"Makino-san told me everything. You fought for us." Luffy started crying noisy tears. "Hey, don't cry! You're a man!" Shanks continued to comfort Luffy.

Luffy's sobs became even worse. "But... Shanks! YOUR ARM!"

If Shanks was in any pain, he ignored it as he gave him a gentle smile as Luffy clung tighter to him. "It's only an arm. It's no big deal. I'm just glad you're alright..." Shanks assured with a smile, not sorry at all for the loss.

Luffy continued to cry into Shanks' chest as they floated in the water.

"You know... watching everything on screen... it looks like Shanks is just glaring at the Lord of the Coast. When in reality... he's using Haki." Vuk whispered trailed off.

Of course, thanks to the screen, the newly spectators don't know the effects of Conqueror's Haki. But they don't about it just yet.

Gasps would be heard all around the home theater. Eyes wide, everyone stared at the screen, stunned silence falling on those gathered like a blanket. Everyone have found themselves shocked to the core.

Yang was frozen to the seat, unable to tear her eyes from the screen, heart beating heavily against her ribcage. She understood what it was like to lose a limb. She stared at her robot arm and Shanks took it way better than her. After all, there was no future tech for Shanks.

"He needs to be treated," Coco cried in alarm, watching the trail of blood. "He'll bleed to death in less than ten minutes if he doesn't see a doctor!"

"He'll be fine," Fox said.

"That...that is badass," Neptune said, nearing tears himself. "He loses his entire arm and shrugs it off like it was nothing."

"He doesn't even look like he's in pain," Sage mumbled in awe.

Ruby's gasped as she had no words. "His arm...?" she whispered. "He just... just like that...?"

"He doesn't even look like he's in pain," Sienna mumbled in awe.

"Dis but a scratch bitches." said Vuk, successfully relieving a bit of tension and lifting the mood. A few weak chuckles followed his comment but it was hard to bounce back to the same high spirits they had during the third half of the episode.

https://youtu.be/4wBnlABpTD8

The scene changed, back on dry land. At the docks now with the Red-Haired pirates were just loading up crates of food and barrels of sake onto the ship. Luffy and Shanks were there, watching them work.

"You're leaving, then?" Luffy asked.

Shanks had his black cape back on, but this time the cape was used to cover his armless left side. "Yeah. It was a long stay, but now we part ways." He glanced down at Luffy. "Bet you'll miss me, huh?"

"Well, yeah, but I won't ask you to take me anymore." Luffy confessed, but he kept smiling. "I've decided to become a pirate on my own now!"

Shanks, being the mature adult that he was, stuck his tongue out at Luffy and teased, "I wasn't gonna take you anyway! You'll never be a pirate!"

Luffy blinked before his eyes narrowed in anger and yelled out, "I WILL TOO!"

At his voice, all of the other pirates on the dock turned to watch Luffy. "Someday, I'm going gather a crew that'll beat yours, and I'm gonna find the greatest treasure in the world, and I'M GONNA BE KING OF THE PIRATES! I'LL SHOW YOU!"

Things did get better when the scene changed to show Red Haired pirates preparing for departure, most likely a few days later.

A few laughed, amused by the display. It was interesting to see a pirate captain entertaining and having a generally close and amicable relationship with some kid he had only met a few brief times.

"So that's why he's so obsessed with becoming the king," Tai said with a smile.

"Luffy is very determined!" Oobleck said happily.

Shanks listened to Luffy's proclamation before he smiled, as if he was taking this as a challenge. "You're gonna surpass us, huh?" Shanks asked in good humor. His face suddenly became serious. "In that case..." and slowly, he reached up to the straw hat and took it off so that he could place it onto Luffy's. "...I'll leave this hat with you. It's dear to me. Take good care of it!"

Luffy just stood there dumbfounded as he felt the weight of Shanks' hat on his head. This hat was Shanks' treasure. He let no one touch it, not even his own crew. But he... Luffy felt tears beginning to burn his eyes as the full implication of what Shanks did hit him.

Luffy took the hat in his hands as he watched the Shanks board the ship. Makino came up behind him and stood with him, smiling as kindly as ever as she looked up to the crew and waved goodbye. Luffy couldn't turn his eyes away, even when Makino came to put a hand on his shoulder.

As the sails came up, Shanks' ship slowly began to disappear into the distance. 'Come bring it back to me someday! Once you've become a great pirate! That's our promise, Luffy!' Shanks said in his mind.

The flashback ends and it returns back to Luffy and Zoro.

But now they could understand the reason behind the strength of bond Shanks shared with Luffy.

Everyone kept quiet, afraid to disrespect the importance of the moment they were allowed to witness.

Jaune exclaimed, tears running down his face at the cute scene playing out in front of them. "A more kind-hearted man you'll never find anywhere."

"Luffy is very lucky indeed," Glynda said with a soft smile.

Weiss sighed wistfully. "He is," she agreed.

"That's got to be the sweetest thing I've ever seen," Qrow smiled.

"I get it now..." Ozpin said softly, his hand on his old cane.

The screen shows Luffy looking down on his hat as he thinks about Shanks and his promise.

"Hey. You're gonna drop it again if you space out. Isn't it important?" Zoro said.

"Yeah. Thank you, Zoro!" Luffy replied.

"Man, I'm hungry..." Zoro says as he looks up to the sky.

Luffy looks up as well and sees a bird.

"A bird..." Zoro says as his stomach growls.

Luffy smiles as his stomach growls as well. "Let's eat it!"

"Huh? How?" Zoro asked.

"Leave it to me!" Luffy says as he stretches his arms and grabbed the sail's pole. "GOMU GOMU NO ROCKET!"

"I see..." Zoro says.

Luffy flew into the air and right into the path if the bird. Luffy's aim put him in front of the bird and, in a comical twist of fate, he was the one who ended up in the bird's mouth.

Tension left everyone's bodies as they relaxed back into their seats. As interesting as it was to learn more about Straw Hat's past, they were glad to be back on track.

"Is he planning to eat it raw or...?" A look of complete bafflement on Hazel's face was priceless enough to make others roar in laughter.

"No, really, how is Luffy going to cook it?" Seconded Summer, still surprised by the captain's antics.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Penny stated.

"It's Luffy." Velvet explained.

"Good point."

Luffy gave a cry of surprise as the bird carried him away from the boat. "Help me!" Luffy screamed to Zoro as he was carried off in the distance.

"Moron! What the hell're you doing?!" Zoro screamed comically while rowing.

In the middle of the sea, Captain Buggy's three pirates could be seen. One of them turn to see Zoro rowing right at them.

"Hey! Stop! You there! Stop!" one of them yelled.

"Shipwrecked people, at a time like this?! I can't stop! Jump in on your own!" Zoro said as he continued paddling leaving the three pirates in shock.

"What?!" The three pirates shouted, as they got on the fast boat.

"I'm impressed you got on!" Zoro says as he rowing faster than to look at the three pirates.

"Are you trying to run us over?!" The three pirates screamed.

"Hey! Stop the boat!" The short pirate says with a cocky smile, "We're members of Buggy the Clown-sama's crew! This boat is ours now!

"Huh?!" Zoro said with a serious look.

The others simply roared with laughter at the ridiculous scene. Some even felt sorry for Zoro. The captain was certainly a handful.

"That idiot." Glynda muttered.

"I no longer remembered those three morons." Oscar laughed.

"That's easier said than done." Ozpin stated.

"I think Zoro is actually trying to kill them." Weiss whispered to Blake who nodded.

"They're doomed." Yang laughed.

"Again who is Buggy?" Pyrrha asked. She wanted to know if this so called pirate is strong.

As no one even answered her question. 

"Yep. That's what I thought." 

Second later, the three Buggy pirates are seen beaten, while paddling.

The three Buggy pirates were hiding their terror behind false smiles as they cower before Zoro. "We had no idea you were the famous Pirate Hunter Zoro-san!" The first Buggy pirate said. "Forgive our rudeness!" The second one says. "Forgive our rudeness" The third Buggy pirate said.

"Thanks to you guys, I lost sight of my friend. Just keep paddling ahead! Zoro says in a serious tone.

"Yessir!" The first Buggy pirate shouted. "Yessir!" the other two yelled.

"Knowing Luffy, he'll manage something once he spots land." Zoro

"But what now, Bro?" The third Buggy pirate asked.

"Good question... If captain Buggy finds out a girl sole our boat and treasure..." The second Buggy pirated muttered.

"Y-Yeah..."

"Who's this Buggy guy?" Zoro asked.

"Ha! They're wimps!" Nora yelled.

"Please be quiet. I'm being to enjoy this." Winter admitted.

"Did Schnee just say she enjoys this?! Maybe the world really is ending." Ilia said in concern.

"Who this Buggy?" Penny asked.

"Probably some pirate who thinks a clown is cool." Sage says.

"That's... sounds very stupid and dumb." Fox admitted. To be fair it sounded like a kid's idea.

"It kinda does sound dumb." Sienna agrees with the young faunas.

"See Khan agrees with me."

"Okay whatever... Let's continue watching" Scarlet tells them. He shrugged off their conversation. The three of them looked back at the screen.

"You've never heard of Buggy the Clown?!" The Buggy third pirate said in shock.

"Nope." Zoro replied.

"He's the head of our pirate ship! He's eaten one of the Devil Fruits, and is just an all-around terrifying person..." Said the other pirate.

The screen zooms in on the bandana of the pirate then it shows the flag of a jolly roger of skull with a red nose. The scene zooms out showing a pirate ship that looks a carnival or a kid's toy.

The scene changes again to an island with empty houses and there was no one in sight.

The screen changes again and it shows the orange haired girl again. Who is running away. "Yes! I finally got it!" She says between the gasps while running away from some pirates.

"Get back here, you!" A random Buggy pirate shouted who was accompanied with two members.

"You wench! Give the map back!" A second random pirate yelled.

"We just stole that chart of the Grand Line!" The third random Buggy pirate screamed.

"Damnit! If we don't get back, we're dead meat, too!" A fourth random Buggy pirate shouted.

I don't wanna be killed by one of the captain's cannonballs!" The fifth random Buggy pirate said at the top of lungs.

The screen changed to another part of the island and there is a small base. Inside the small base, it is very dark and there is no light. And the captain of these pirates is hiding in the dark. The only light is from the top of the small tent. The captain's face could be barely seen.

"Captain Buggy! I see something in the sky above the port!" Yet another one of Buggy's Henchmen said as he uses a one hand telescope.

"Shoot it down!" Buggy ordered.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me." Ozpin looked absolutely gobsmacked, especially when he saw a bird with teen captain in one frame. "You have the devil's luck, Luffy."

"No kidding." Jaune stated.

"His voice sounds like he's someone big and intimidating." Nora nervously said.

"He sounds like an old but childish man." Mercury admitted.

"Luffy is going to die by falling from that height." Emerald said in worried.

A loud sound of cannon shot could be heard in the sky. A large explosion in the air and next thing is that the orange haired girl stops running and looks above and so does the group of the pirates.

"W-What the-?" One pirate said in shock.

Luffy screams as he is falling from the sky and the scene is slowing down as its happens. He hits the ground with great speed and causes a huge dust of dirt covering between the orange haired girl and the pirates—causing them all to stop dead in their tracks.

"W-What?!" The girl said.

"What the-?!" The second Buggy pirate surprisingly says.

"A person fell from the sky!" The third Buggy pirate said.

"It's raining men! Hallelujah! It's raining men! Hallelujah bitches!" Loudly sung Vuk. Even though no one in the audience would fully understand and appreciate the reference, the meme, they could understand the lyrics and that was enough to give a few appreciative laughs.

"Damnit! Why are cannonballs flying at me for?!" Luffy moaned as he stood up and dusted himself. It shows Luffy sitting just fine. Luckily for him, he was over dry land and landed butt first onto the pavement. "But now I'm fine! That was a pretty neat experience I had!" He failed to notice that several people were staring at him. Three of them were hardened looking men with swords while the other one was an orange-haired woman with a white and blue t-shirt. They were all more than a little surprise to see someone literally fall out of the sky.

This left both the pirate group and the orange haired girl speechless and shock at Luffy surviving the explosion and landing.

Before anyone could make another comment, the already too familiar three word sentence appeared, announcing the end of yet another episode.

To be continued

"Alright now that is over. I'll be back with the other viewing. So do whatever you guys want." Vuk says as he gets up from his chair. He began to stretch his arms or whatever he was doing earlier and leave the theater room. 

Vuk walked by the library room and went to the hidden room and there was a freezer capsule and inside of it is a being or rather a small larvae insect creature. "Soon very soon I'll have you be reincarnated in your new body to the new world you'll be sent to. Or I can have you destroy a universe... After all you were made for this" Vuk said to himself. The freezer capsule had a label on it and it read Cell.

Next to the freezer capsule was a turned off blue mecha robot but it looked like it had some drastic changes. For starters the head resembles a hedgehog. It is a taller, bulkier, and sturdier build. It's adorned with blue armor with silver linings and has blue and white shoulder guards and wrist gauntlets, the latter of which are adorned with red orbs and it has quills. The quills are now sharper, curved up, and have silver tips, and his eyes have silver highlights surrounding them. It has embedded on the chest is a red reactor core, with an interior which it can store something.

"Maybe I should send you as well... metal madness overlord." Vuk says to the turned off robot.
