"I known" Luffy said. But Luffy knows that mutt will try it again. He may have cut of one of his arms but he can probably create a fake one with his lava.

"Can't believe you have another bounty!" Said Marco "it's very high, for a cabin boy!". A tick mark appeared on Luffy's forehead

"Well, at least I still more hair than you, pineapple-nisan!" Luffy said "Shishishishi!"

"Damn it" said Marco "you are good..."

"Thanks big brother" Luffy said "so, where are we going?"

"That's a surprise, my son" said Whitebeard. Luffy smiled and nodded. He knew his time as a Whitebeard pirate was coming to an end and soon he will start his adventure. But first, he needs to take care of the scum of East Blue

A few days later...

Water 7

"Water seven?" Luffy mumbles

"That's right" Whitebeard said "it's time for you to get your ship and begin your adventure, my son. Marco, passed him the money". Luffy eyes widened with that and smiled

"Thanks pops" said Luffy. Franky died trying to save the Sunny but the mutt had burn him alive with the ship. Luffy couldn't avenge, as he had died fighting the mutt. This time, he at least cut off one of his arms and as a bonus, he was demoted. He won't let any of his nakama died. He will train them himself until they become a very powerful crew. Finally, they arrived at Water 7, where Iceburg welcome them. Thankfully the government dogs weren't there yet. If he remembers, they were there for five years, meaning, next year they would be here. Luffy needs to convince Franky to build his ship and joined him, no matter what.

"Come here for some repairs, Whitebeard?" Iceberg ask

"No" Whitebeard said "my son wants to start his crew and he needs a ship"

"Well, what kind do you need?" Iceberg ask

"Can I ask something first?" Luffy ask

"Of course" Iceberg answered

"Well, I was part of the Sun Pirates and the, Captain, Tiger Fisher, was part of Roger's crew" Luffy started "I remember he said you and another were apprentices of the one who build Roger's ship"

"Well, that would be Franky" said Iceberg "if you want to meet him, I can arrange it but he may not want to see you"

"Don't worry, I will convince him myself" Luffy smirked, as he already felt him with his ki ability and observation haki "you can come out. I known you there"

"SUPER!" Franky said "Don't know how you knew I was here but I won't listen to you!"

"Well, I was going to give you this money to get adam wood, so you could build me a ship that can reach to end of the Grandline"

"Your joking" said Franky "I don't build ships, I destroy them!"

"Ohhh, well" said Luffy "guess Iceberg is better than you after all" . Luffy wink at Iceberg as he silently chuckled

"YOU SUPER CHEATER!" said Franky "fine, I will do it!"

"Good" said Luffy "then I will stay in Water 7 until you finished and also, I want the best shipwright on my crew. So, how about you join me and help get your ship to the end?"

"I can't do that" Franky said "can't leave my guys behind!"

"I am sure Iceberg will give them better jobs" Luffy said "well, just think about it"

"Well son, I wish you good luck" said Whitebeard "take care"

"If you need anything, just call me" Whitebeard said. Luffy nodded as his pops go back to the Moby-Dick and went away
