Our last sail

2. A new friend and the truth

"Of course, Anchor."

After saying goodbye to Makino, Luffy led them to the shore of the island, which made them even more confused. Suddenly, the boy stopped and used a bit of Haki toward the sea. The pirates didn't know what was happening. Luffy just stood there, looking at the sea like he was seeking something from there. After a few minutes, the surface began to shake, then came a big Sea King with greenish skin and big red eyes. The Sea King then stared at them and opened its mouth to show its dangerous fangs. They thought it wanted to eat them, but suddenly Luffy spoke up from where he stood.

"Hello there fella"

<So you are the one that called for me. Never thought an owner of the Voice of all things would be a child>

"Hey, don't be so rude. You are a child yourself, too."

This time the pirates didn't seem to be shocked anymore, after all the events that had just happened in the bar, they learnt not to ask. But they still felt impressed by Luffy. First, the kid seems able to talk to the Sea King. And second was that this enormous creature was just the size of a young sea king. Somehow they didn't want to know the size of a mature one. They then focused on the conversation, even though they could only hear from one side.

"Anyway, my name is Monkey D. Luffy, what is yours?"

<Greeting, Luffy. I don't really have a name, so you can call me whatever you like>

"Hm.....In that case......How about I call you Isora! What do you think?"

<I like that name>

"Shishishishishishishi"

<Said Luffy, why did you call me?>

"Oh right! I have a gift for you and later I need your help with something."

Then Luffy turned to Lucky and said,

"Lucky, you can drop those bandits into the sea. They are my gift for Isora"

Now they were truly scared of the kid. No, he was something even more dangerous to have a Sea King as his pet. The pirates all swore inside their heads that they would never try to anger Luffy or they would become a gift to Isora. Lucky then threw the bandits into the sea. Isora immediately dived under the sea and took the gift from the boy. After Isora had finished eating, he rose up once again and lowered his head like he wanted to thank the boy.

<Thanks for your gift, Luffy! And when you need my help, all you need to do is shout my name, I'll come to you immediately>

"I'll remember it. See you later Isora,"

Luffy gave Isora a big smile and waved at him. Then Isora decided to go back to the sea and waited for the boy to call him later. The pirates and Luffy continue their journey to Red Force. After a long walk, they finally reached their destination. Then Shanks turned to his crew and gave order

"Everyone except Lucky Roux, Ben, Yasopp, Luffy and I will need to wait outside until we finish talking, all of you got it."

All the pirates then shout in unison.

"ROGER THAT CAPTAIN"

Luffy was so amazed that his eyes were wide open. This wasn't his first time to see this happening, but he always felt amazed at the loyalty of the crew towards their captain. Whether it was his crew or the others.

Luffy then went after Shanks into the cabin. After they had all settled down which the adults were sitting on the floor while Luffy was setting on a chair. Luffy began to speak

"You can ask me any answer but I don't guarantee that I'll answer all of them"

After a few minutes of silence, Shanks decided to ask first

"Luffy, How do you know about Haki?"

Once again, Luffy gave them a sad smile. They hate it when he did that. Their Luffy was supposed to be a happy-go-lucky child, and not this mature look on him. He was just 7 years old, he should have a care-free life and don't need to worry about anything. What had happened to Luffy for him to have such a face like that.

"I was taught by Rayleigh for 2 years on the inhibitant island in Calm Bell"

Wait did he said Rayleigh, as in Dark King Rayleigh. Luffy was Rayleigh's apprentice. But how could that be possible, Luffy never left the island and if it was true then he had to be 5 when he was trained under the said man. That was all the thought of the adult inside the room, then Shanks continued to ask

"Luffy, how do you know Ray-san?"

Luffy felt there was no need to lie to them, not like he could lie or anything. So he told them the truth just like what they want.

"I met him when my crew travelled to Sabaody. Then one of my friend was captured and almost been solved to those Tenryubito, but he saved her after I punched the bastard in the face. He was also the one we asked to help us coating our ship, so we could go to fishmen island."

"Wait Luffy, you have a crew? Are you a pirate? And what are your crewmates like?" This time Ben was the one asking him

Luffy was happy because he could told them about his crew. He missed them a lot, but this time he won't let that event happened again, not on his watch.

"Shishishishi! Yes, I'm a captain of the strawhats pirate. The crew have 10 members, including me. We have Zoro, a swordman who used three swords style, he's also my Vice-captain and Dracule Mihawk's student. Next we have Nami, a navigator who is also a best thief, she's good in her jobs and she can control weather. Then we have Usopp, our god of snipers and a liar, we are bestfriends. Sanji, my cook and left hand, he use his legs to attack, he also very much obessed with woman. Chopper is our best doctor, he's also a transformation reindeer. Robin is my history women, she's very smart. Franky is our shipwright, he was the one built our Thousand Sunny and he's a cyborg. Brook is our musician, he's also our swordman, and he's a living skeleton. And the last but not least our helmsman, Jinbei, he is a fishmen"

"Wait Usopp is on your crew!!!! But he's still a kid" Yasopp exclaimed

"Mihawk has an apprentice!!!!!" Shanks was shocked

"Well, not now. But they will be my nakamas again. When it's time, I'll go and pick them up" Luffy explained

"What do you mean by that, Lu?" Ben asked him again

Suddenly Luffy smile and they all saw the pride in his eyes when he said

"Let's me introduce myself again. My name is Monkey D. Luffy, I'm 22 years old and I'm the new crowned Pirate King"

They were all shocked, but all things that had happened began to make sense for them. But how could this happen and why was Luffy here? They were now even more curious about what had happened that cause the young Pirate King to travel back time.

"Luffy can you tell us what had happened in the future?"

"Sure, let's me tell you from the begining ......"
