Chapter 2: Growing Up

On the Moby Dick

It had been a couple of months since Luffy's birthday party and the commanders were on the deck looking at Marco helping Luffy attempt to walk with a pacifier in his mouth as that was the thing that kept him from always crying and screaming.

After 15 minutes Luffy managed to stand by himself and he started walking slowly towards Whitebeard. As he got there Pops picked him up, and Luffy started reaching out towards him while giggling and all of a sudden Luffy managed to say "Papa pa...pa".

"GURARARA, so you finally are starting to talk my son," said Whitebeard with a big smile on his face looking at Luffy.

The commanders were looking with a smile on their face as Luffy was playing with Whitebeard's huge fingers all of them thinking that he was growing up. As Luffy was laying there he slowly fell asleep "I'll take care of the brat today" he said as he got up carrying Luffy to his room.

It was the next day and Luffy was crawling and attempting to walk with Marco while Thatch, and Haruta watched as they were all in Izos quarters as he was making new clothes for Luffy. Then suddenly Luffy grabbed his blonde hair, and started giggling while saying. "Mama ma...ma", as he said this the other 3 commanders looked at Luffy and suddenly fell to their knees with rain clouds over their heads.

They were all depressed as they weren't the first the first of the commanders Luffy called anything. " Why does the chicken get called by anything before me" Thatch said.

"After I stole him all of those snacks from the kitchen risking getting killed by Thatch I'm still not called anything" Haruta spoke.

"After I made him all those toys he still doesn't call me anything" Izo spoke. While Marco just grinned victorious.

Months Later Luffy is 2 years old

"Marco Marco Marco!" Luffy came running down the hall at full speed "What is it yoi?". "Help me get some candy Thatch won't let me get anymore".

Marco looked at him and saw his cheeks were all covered in chocolate. "Why doesn't he give you anymore yoi?" he asked with narrowed eyes.

"Because I threw his dumb hair gel off the ship, shishishi".

"So it was you, you little brat", Thatch said as he came around the corner with messed up looking hair.

"Looks like he's going to be a better prankster than you yoi" Marco said with a grin on his face, as Thatch was always the one pranking crew mates. "Common you little baby I'll get you some more candy, because of what you did to Thatch yoi."

Luffy looked at him and said "I'm not a little baby anymore pineapple head".

Luffy was sitting on Whitebeard's lap as he was listening to one of his many stories. The rest of the commanders were all sitting around looking at their little brother who was intently listening to his stories.
