Monkey D. Luffy's POV
Shell City, East Blue.
...
...
As Luffy took flight, he looked towards the Marine base.
"I should have had some time to deal with the girls before, but now I'll rescue him. Wait for me, Zoro!" I said and used my momentum to increase my flight in that direction.
It didn't take long to be above the base at a distance of one kilometer.
"Thanks to my Mythical Zoan, I can see every detail from this distance. It's great to have enhanced eyes like all the other animal senses," Luffy said to himself as he looked at the base below, examining all the structures. He glanced in one direction and finally spotted the man tied up in an empty courtyard.
"Damn it!" He heard the green-haired man muttering quietly with his sharp ears.
I started to fly and descend towards him. He didn't notice me as I silently landed behind his cross. The sun was in front of him, so he couldn't see the shadow of a "giant bird" behind him.
Turning off my wings silently, I began to approach him from behind.
"You seem to be in a tight spot, huh... There's even food on the ground..." Luffy said casually and noticed the dropped bun on the ground, realizing he arrived a bit later than the original timeline.
"HM?!" The green-haired man quickly startled by this sudden voice from behind.
"Who are you? How did you sneak up behind me without me noticing?!" He became quite alarmed by Luffy approaching from behind, but the man with the straw hat couldn't blame him for his reaction.
"How I got here doesn't matter, but let me introduce myself to you. I am Monkey D. Luffy! The man whose dream and goal are to conquer all the seas and shake the very foundations of this world in the process!" I said with a big smile.
"Hmm? Conquer the seas? Shake the foundations of this world?" Zoro said, raising an eyebrow, but he didn't laugh at this declaration; after all, he was another dreamer.
"That's right, I'm a pirate," I said, looking into his eyes.
"And I hunt pirates sometimes to get by, so you better leave," he simply said, and Luffy smiled.
"Hold on there, my friend. Let me finish speaking. I can't be arrogant and think I can do all of this alone. I need a crew to fight against the world and turn it upside down. I can see your ambition too. What's your goal?" Luffy asked, knowing already what his next words would be.
"I made a promise to someone a long time ago that one of us would become the greatest swordsman in the world. I am Roronoa Zoro, the man who will become the greatest swordsman in the world!" He said firmly, while I smiled enthusiastically.
"Very well, my friend. A worthy dream for a swordsman in my pirate crew!" I said, and he looked at me strangely.
"I'm not interested." Knowing what I was insinuating, he cut me off.
"Sorry, Zoro, I won't force you to join my crew because I don't think you deserve that, and I don't find it very cool with most people. But now you're a criminal, and you'll never survive being hunted by the Marines when you're alone at sea to become the world's greatest swordsman." I said, trying to persuade him.
"I made a deal with the Marines. If I stay here for a month without eating, they'll set me free. I've been here for a few days, and I can stay much longer like this!" Zoro said.
"And you believe that?" I raised an eyebrow with that, knowing his fate.
"What do you mean?" He asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Look, Captain Morgan's son, Helmeppo, is going to execute you soon to take your sword, the Wado Ichimonji. You're either going to become an outlaw or a dead man. Which option do you choose?" Luffy said, crossing his arms in front of him.
He looked at him for a few seconds, realizing there was no mistake in his words, and finally spoke.
"He's really going to do that?!" His tone showed immense anger.
"I have no doubt about that, Zoro. Unfortunately, you relied on an arrogant coward... now you'll pay for it..." Luffy said.
Zoro looked at him for a while before speaking again.
"Are you serious when you say you want to conquer the seas?" He couldn't help but ask that.
"Yes, I will be known as the king or emperor of the pirates, and I need the greatest swordsman in the world by my side. What do you say?" Luffy said confidently.
"Hmmm... all right! I'll join you, just get my sword back and as long as you don't stop me from pursuing my dream, I'll be your swordsman!" He demanded.
"Well, I can do that, but why would I leave you here defenseless?" I asked while opening the system, went to the store, and bought a low-quality sword for him.
"Where did this sword come from?!" He was surprised by the sudden appearance of the sword, but I didn't bother to answer as I cut his bindings.
This made him fall to the ground in the next moment. Now that he was without ropes, he didn't say anything as he got up and walked over to a piece of land with a dropped bun and picked it up to eat.
"This is great! I haven't eaten in days!" He said happily, eating the bun and the earth.
"Hahaha, that's funny, take this sword, I don't need it." Luffy threw the sword into his hands.
"What do we do now, Captain?" He said, inspecting the sword, but it didn't surprise him, as it was a low-quality sword, but useful at the moment.
[Crew: Zoro has joined your crew!]
I smiled at the system message and looked at the swordsman.
"Simple, we'll get your sword back, take over this Marine base, and destroy it in the process!" I said enthusiastically as he raised an eyebrow, wondering if I was joking.
"Come on, let's see what these Marines are capable of." Luffy said without waiting for a response from Zoro and walked directly to the front of the Marine base, at its entrance.
It didn't take long for them to find the entrance courtyard of the base, with Helmeppo being escorted by two Marines as they seemed to be heading out to do something in the city.
'He should go to the restaurant where Luffy and Koby found him in the original story,' Luffy thought.
"Yo!" I said, raising my hand to greet them, causing them to turn to my sudden voice and look at me stunned as they studied me bewilderedly. Luffy appeared to them like a criminal, with a rather sinister smile on his face as he approached them.
"Who are you?! Hm?! Zoro, did you escape?!" He shouted, and the men beside him quickly grabbed their weapons to attack the two approaching them.
I raised a hand to Zoro, asking him to let me handle it, and I began to walk toward the trio without any fear of their weapons.
As I advanced calmly, two rifles were already aimed at me, but I didn't pay much attention as I continued to walk.
"Shoot him!!!" Helmeppo shouted hysterically.
BANG!
BANG!
The shots were heard by everyone in the vicinity, and the noise echoed through the area. Those who were shooting, along with Helmeppo and even Zoro, had expressions of disbelief as they saw the bullets strike my skin and crumple upon impact without penetrating.
The sound of crumpled bullets falling to the ground could be heard by those nearby, in the midst of the ensuing silence that settled over the area.
"Well, you guys are worse than Lami. At least I could feel a bit of her sword's touch." Luffy said, bored, as the bullets continued to collide with him.
Ignoring the fact that Luffy was talking about someone named Lami, they were shocked at this strange figure, which just stood there, stopping bullets from penetrating his own body. Even Zoro couldn't believe his eyes; he never imagined that someone could stop a bullet with their own skin.
'And he doesn't even know about the monsters in the New World,' Luffy told himself as he observed Zoro's surprise.
Seeing that they had stopped shooting, Luffy started walking toward the trio again.
"Stay away, you monster!" Helmeppo was now more terrified than ever, taking steps backward, trying to get away from here.
Before Helmeppo and his guards could escape, I used my speed to approach.
[Moa Moa no Mi: Speed, apply 30 times!]
I may not have the Gear 2 of the Hito Hito no Mi, but my speed already surpasses it by far at this level!
In their view, Luffy disappeared from where he stood, reappearing right in front of them. Without saying anything, I delivered a punch to each guard on either side of Helmeppo.
BOOM
BOOM
Their bodies slammed directly into the Marine base wall like rockets. Luffy wasn't a good person, and they had tried to kill him because he was going to spare them as the original Luffy did?
Luffy didn't know if they would survive those punches, but he didn't care anymore. He removed his eyes from the holes in the wall made by the Marines and looked at the frightened Helmeppo in front of him.
He glared at the son of Captain Morgan, one of the worst kinds of people imaginable. Who would they be? The hypocrites of the Marines, people who did evil under the guise of justice. These were the kind of people Luffy detested the most in life.
"So, I heard that you like to intimidate the citizens of this city..." Luffy said calmly, looking into his trembling eyes.
"Wha-what do you mean? My father won't let you hurt me!" Helmeppo was very scared now, and having Luffy, a stranger, staring at him like a predator didn't help alleviate his tension.
"Let me show you how to intimidate someone!" Luffy said with a sinister smile.
"What do you mean? My father won't let you hurt me!" Helmeppo was very scared now.
"Hehe, if he shows up, I'll make him join the fun..." Luffy talked like a thug, maintaining a wicked grin.
Before Helmeppo could respond to this, Luffy grabbed him by the arm.
Crack
I simply bent it effortlessly, and his arm made a sound as if bones were breaking.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Want to give up already?" Luffy said with a small interrogation, looking at the pathetic Helmeppo beneath his hand, now barely able to speak after receiving two blows to the face that destroyed him.
"It's a shame that you can't take it anymore. I could have taught you more, but let's finish this." He said, as he looked at the base and simply launched a badly injured Helmeppo directly into the window on the fifth floor, like a ragdoll.
Crack
They could hear the sound of the window breaking from that height.
Zoro and the Marine guards who had seen this man torturing the son of their captain pointed their guns at him from the walls of the base, but they hesitated to shoot, and no one had yet managed to inform their superior. Luffy's actions had been so sudden that they didn't know how to react.
"Let's make this more attention-grabbing," Luffy said with a smile, while Zoro looked at him trying to understand what he was planning. Luffy looked at the gate and pointed at it with the palm of his hand.
"Let's use this ability for the first time!" Luffy said with a smile as a powerful purple flame appeared around his hand, appearing to charge with every moment and growing stronger.
"What's this?!" Zoro was shocked by this, but not nearly as much as what would happen next.
Without responding to Zoro, the flame in Luffy's hand flew and was shot with a small explosion, like a cannon, at high speed, directly towards the gate.
The base's gates were still closed, so the flame hit right in the middle.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM
It wasn't just the Marine base that heard it; the entire city trembled from the explosion. A group of women with a bear and a shark heard it on a certain beach, and a boy in a boat near the island was also startled as he saw an explosion in front of the base, from where he was several kilometers away at sea. He wondered what on earth was happening there.

Monkey D. Luffy POV
Shell City, East Blue.
...
...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM
The explosion shook the entire place, window panes shattered with the impact of the blast, and terrified Marines ran, dropping their weapons from the wall.
Zoro didn't look much different from them.
"Whistle Quite an explosion, huh?" Luffy said, pleased.
"ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN, ARE YOU SURE???" Zoro yelled while trying to shield himself from the explosion.
Where the Marine gate used to be, now looked like hell on earth. There was no more wall, as it had been disintegrated by the impact, and the ground was dug a few meters deep, forming a small crater with purple flames burning on the earth at this moment.
"In my defense, I had no idea how this power worked! It was the first time using it!" Luffy had to come up with an excuse as he scratched his head. He really had no idea he was this powerful!
"This power may not be as powerful as Kizaru's, but I haven't even used its full potential yet!" He thought as he contemplated his potential and considered the future. He turned to a still dazed Zoro and said.
"Anyway, let's head to the base. The soldiers must be regrouping now. Morgan will show up soon." Luffy said as he walked in the opposite direction of the gate in chaos, which was now on fire. The soldiers on the wall, who were aiming at them, ended up fleeing in fear after witnessing this display of power.
With not much more to say, Zoro started following him closely.
"Who are you?!" The pair heard a voice as they approached the main building, and at that moment, the main door burst open with a hurried boom, revealing a giant man with an axe in place of his right hand, standing almost 3 meters tall, glaring at them in anger as he appeared before them.
"Ah! You must be Morgan, the captain of this base, right?" Luffy asked, not caring to introduce himself.
Several Marines were pointing their weapons at the pair behind him, but fear was evident in their eyes. They couldn't remain calm after seeing and feeling what Luffy had done, even if they thought it was due to some bomb he placed on the gate rather than the chaos flames generated in a matter of seconds by the palm of his hand; otherwise, they would be fleeing at this moment.
Luffy smiled at them.
"Yes, I am Morgan! Do you have any idea who you're attacking? No pirate attacks a Marine base and gets away with it!" He said as a threat.
"Hehe, I'd like to see that. I'm a pirate, and I do what I want," Luffy said as he walked towards Morgan without hesitation.
This only made Morgan even angrier at this young pirate. He then saw Luffy approaching the line of his attack, and as he walked, he raised his axe and swung it.
"THEN DIE!" He shouted and swung his axe with all his might.
Luffy, seeing this, had only one thought.
[Moa Moa no Mi: Defense, apply 30 times!]
CRACK
His axe connected with my body but stopped there, not going a millimeter further! It even created cracks in the weapon with the impact of Luffy's body.
"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!" Morgan shouted, now truly scared.
"Is that all the great Captain Morgan can do? It's stronger than bullets, I admit, but it's still weaker than Lami's blade," Luffy smiled as he spoke.
"Shoot him! Kill them!" Morgan immediately yelled, trying to retreat from this monster.
[Moa Moa no Mi: Speed, apply 30 times!]
I disappeared from the spot, reappearing near Morgan's head.
[Moa Moa no Mi: Strength, apply 30 times!]
I still couldn't use two applications at the same time; I would have to further develop my fruit to achieve that. However, I could quickly switch between applications of multiplication.
Luffy didn't waste time and punched Morgan's head in that instant, without giving him a chance to react. I switched from speed to multiplied strength to see what would happen; I could defeat him with just my physical strength, but I wanted to test my limits.
BOOM
The impact of my punch created an explosive sound, causing Morgan's head to detach from his neck in an instant.
BOOOM Another impact followed, with the severed head exploding and flying into the Marine base.
The soldiers, seeing their captain lose his head like that, were shocked and immediately dropped their weapons in surrender, knowing they were in front of a monster.
Luffy calmly landed on the ground and looked at the impact created by his punch.
Whistle
He whistled, looking at the damage he had caused.
"Do any of you still want to fight?" He asked the men in front of him, who had already surrendered by dropping their weapons.
"No! We surrender!" one of them said.
"Great, we're pirates, and we don't care about the Marines. I'm going to plunder this base, as long as you don't interfere with it, we won't harm you," he told the man, who looked cautious but yielded to Luffy's relentless gaze, unable to fight back, knowing that Luffy could kill them on the spot.
"Great, show my companion here to the treasure room," he pointed to Zoro since Luffy decided that Zoro would be assigned to collect the treasure and his old weapon.
"I also want to go to the main Den Den Mushi, one that can connect directly to Marine Headquarters," I told them, and the man who spoke to Luffy had widened eyes at this.
"You want to talk to Marine Headquarters?" The man couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Yes, you can do that. Remember, you are now my hostages. HAHAHAHAHA!" He said with a sadistic smile, and the Marine in front of him began to sweat.
"Y-YES!" The poor man yielded.
"Zoro, get your swords and take all the money from the vault with you. In the meantime, I'll talk to my old man," I said.
"YOUR GRANDFATHER?" Zoro asked incredulously, but Luffy didn't bother to respond and followed the man who led me to Morgan's room.
"Here is the Den Den Mushi!" The man said, still sounding nervous.
"Call the headquarters, please," I said, and the man started dialing the special number hurriedly.
"Click Mushi Mushi. This is headquarters. What does Marine Base stationed in Shell City, Unit 153, need?" A demanding voice came from the snail.
"S-Sir, there's a pirate who wants to speak with you..." The poor man was afraid as he spoke hesitantly.
"What do you mean!?" The voice became serious, and the snail's expression changed, now that he heard this.
"Give me that, and thank you." Luffy smiled and said as he took the communicator connected to the snail.
"Hello, I'm the pirate Monkey D. Luffy!" I announced with an even bigger smile and spoke before the other end of the line could question me or recite the usual lines about how Luffy couldn't escape punishment and that he would pay for it, the usual lines.
"I wish to speak with my grandpa, Monkey D. Garp. He should be in Sengoku's office right now, if he's still at Marineford," Luffy said calmly.
The room fell silent, both the Marine next to Luffy and the one on the other end of the line. They choked when they heard this.
Who was Sengoku? The highest level of the Marines. But here was a nameless pirate from the East Blue, asking to be transferred to the highest level of the Marines' room!
And even more importantly, who was Garp? The hero of the Marines, the strongest man in the Marines' ranks, a symbol of the highest prestige in the organization. Not even the three admirals could compare in strength and reputation. But here was a rookie pirate saying he was his grandson, and how could people take that lightly?
"I-Is this..." Even the voice became nervous now. While the man who had accompanied Luffy to this room was about to faint.
"Tell him I took this base and its personnel hostage; he'll understand," Luffy said, still smiling. His expression didn't match his actions, as Luffy was taking over a whole Marine base, not strolling in the park to smile so easily.
"All right!" The voice said nervously and seemed to put the Den Den Mushi on hold.
A little while later, the snail's expression changed, and a much older voice boomed from the other end.
"LUFFY!!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOU BECAME A PIRATE????!!!!" His grandfather's voice was seething with anger.
"HAHAHAHA. Hello, Grandpa! It's been 6 months since I last saw you; I miss you so much!" Luffy laughed and spoke sincerely. He was influenced by the original Luffy, so he felt a genuine connection to this man as a grandfather.
In the original, even though he loved this guy, Luffy didn't want to see his grandpa because of his 'fist of love,' but this new Luffy was different; he genuinely wanted to see the man.
"Buahahahahaha. My grandson misses me!! But your voice sounds different, have you grown in these..." He laughed happily and did a 180-degree turnaround when he heard that his rebellious grandson missed him.
"GARP!!" Sengoku shouted angrily at Garp beside him to get him to focus on the call.
"OH, YEAH! Luffy, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOU KIDNAPPED A MARINE BASE?!" He expressed his anger again.
"HEHEHE, I wanted to talk to you again, Grandpa, I have some things to tell you," he said. But a voice interrupted me.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MORGAN?!" Sengoku asked hurriedly as he grabbed the communicator next to Garp.
"Well, I killed him," I said, and the room fell silent at that moment.
"You did what!?" Garp shouted in the background.
"Grandpa, I don't want to offend you or your precious Marines, but a commander who abuses his people to the point of hurting his subordinates and the city's citizens, claiming to do so for the sake of Marine justice, is the kind of person I hate most in this world. Even pirates have more dignity than this type of person because pirates do evil without hiding behind a noble cause," Luffy said and continued.
"And he tried to kill me, called me a demon, a monster, but if a person is ready to kill, then they must be ready to die," he said without mincing words.
"I can understand that..." My grandfather spoke, knowing that his grandson wouldn't lie, and he felt no deception at all, as his Haki would hardly be wrong, even through a Den Den Mushi.
"GARP! YOUR GRANDSON KILLED A BASE COMMANDER, RIGHT OR WRONG, AND HE TARNISHED THE NAME OF THE MARINES!" Sengoku yelled in anger, and Garp, who had concurred with his grandson on the phone, scratched his nose beside Sengoku.
"LUFFY, STAY THERE, I'M COMING TO THE EAST BLUE TO CAPTURE YOU!" Garp shouted indignantly.
"HAHAHAHA. Grandpa, I have more corrupt Marines to catch in this sea, so I won't be here for long," Luffy laughed in amusement at his grandfather's request; this guy was really funny.
"Grandpa, I want to tell you something else. There's a boy arriving at this base; he's weak and cowardly, but he has potential. He's determined to reach the level of an admiral. I would say he would be the best pupil you could get since I and Ace are pirates!" Luffy said with a smile.
"CURSE THEM, I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET YOU GUYS CHOOSE THIS LIFESTYLE!!" Garp shouted in anger but quickly softened his voice.
"Tell me, is this boy here now?" Garp asked, curious. His rebellious grandson's words had piqued his interest.
"Yes, Grandpa. He's going to enlist as a Marine; it's a good change. I would take him as a crewmate, but he's determined to fight pirates!" I said.
"That's interesting!" My grandfather said with a smile.
"Yes, I want you to train him with everything, as I know you and Sengoku are almost retired!" I said with a smile, especially when the snail expressed anger that was nothing compared to before, while the Marine in the room with me fainted from those words. Luffy didn't care about that and continued.
"So the Marines need new potentials, only you guys aren't any fun when I dominate the New World. I hope for some challenge, you know?" I said arrogantly, while my grandfather and the fleet admiral were left speechless by my remarks.
"LUFFY, I'M COMING TO THE EAST BLUE TO CAPTURE YOU!" My grandpa shouted indignantly.
"Great, grandpa, I would love to see you again!" He said, with a smile, while the expression of the Den Den Mushi seemed genuinely happy at this moment.
"BUAHAHAHAHA! My grandson wants to see me!" Garp laughed happily.
"GARP!" Sengoku shouted again in anger.
"Oh yes, Luffy! Wait for me, and I'll capture you using my 'fist of love'!" He said.
"Grandpa, speaking of which, I learned to use the 'fist of love'! I saw a girl I liked a while back and used those fists on her to show my love, but she flew too far!" Luffy complained.
"Buahahahahaha. So you used the 'fist of love' the right way!"
While the grandfather-grandson duo chatted, Sengoku and the Marine who had fainted before and had now woken up were speechless with this conversation.
"How do you win over a woman by punching her?!" They exclaimed.
"Hm?" The same listeners were speechless at the next action of the grandfather-grandson on each of the lines.
Sengoku saw Garp fall asleep in front of him, while the Marine from Naval Base 153 was speechless when he saw Luffy and the Den Den Mushi fall asleep in the middle of the call.
"GARP!"
"Hm? What a strange dream, I dreamt that my grandson missed me..." he murmured, but when he saw the communication equipment in front of him, some veins appeared on his forehead.
"LUFFY!!!!! HOW CAN YOU SLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF A CALL!!"
"Hmmm? Grandpa!"
"STAY IN THE EAST BLUE, GRANDPA IS COMING TO ARREST YOU!" Garp shouted.
"Okay, you can come, but bring some of those cookies. I want to try them to see why you only eat those. I plan to try them after I kick your butt, of course!" Luffy said with a smile, but before Garp could respond, Luffy hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Click
With that, Luffy left the room, satisfied, while the Marine who had been with him before was unconscious after hearing the entire conversation again.
