Some place far away from Home

some sake for these punks

I kind liked the idea of write an whole new chapter about Luffy's childhood but I am a lazy one so, I'll just do something before time skip to Luffy's journey! Sorry for the late chapter... I was studying a lot to a trip.

(N/A: Old one here; in japonese there's no difference between a mustache and a beard, that's why white beard is called white 'beard'.

Time skip...

Luffy haven't had another weird dream with his strange friends, the time passing like a funny symphony with fast and slow parts, the only thing that make the strange dream true after all this time, it's the fact that Luffy still hear a few voices, as if it was part of him, and it does, he listen to what the voices from nowhere tell him to, it's the funny voice of Mugiwara, his friend, sometimes, Luffy mistake his friend with his own thoughts, his voice too much alike.

Right now, he's standing near a boat, his wings kept and over his back, Luffy is saying...

Go̶o̶d̶b̶y̶e-

bye to his family, Makino and Dadan's bandits, Ace and Sabo have already gone to the sea, actually, Sabo go with his dad despite not seeing who's that... and Ace was now with a oldman who has a white banana's mustache, why people called it beard?

Luffy wave a bye while he was smilling and laughing, slowly going far away from his home, he sees the isle getting smaller as the minutes passes until it couldn't be seen or felt anymore, Luffy was eating an apple while seeing the sea below and the sky over him, an intense blue all around, the voices slowly fading away and everything becoming a strange and low whisper, sounding like a symphony.

Luffy eat all the apples in the little boat, feeling as much full as a barrel of apples could do, but only a few minutes after and a large whirlpool starts just in front of his boat, Luffy don't think twice and hides in the barrel, the barrel shakes and tremble to a side to another, despite the large wings on Luffy's back, he manage to get inside the barrel, he soon fall asleep, without knowing the barrel was carried away and taken by a pirate crew while robbing another ship, the small boat he was in already teared apart by sea.

Luffy wakes after the feeling of the barrel getting up, three men around it, a small boy a little away, maybe two feets away the three men...? He didn't know, but Luffy punched the cover of the barrel to get out since there wasn't the sea on the barrel's surroundings anymore, but as soon as Luffy opened his eyes, he sees a man on floor, was the man an idiot? Didn't he knew he could get sick if he kept there?

The other two men seemed very surprised by it, despite quickly being replaced by angry towards Luffy who they think had hit the third man intentionaly, Luffy jumps out the barrel and look around, a huge hungry over him and his black hole called stomach.

The two man already forgot threaten Luffy, and as soon as they say their insatisfaction about Luffy, a fist comes on their face without an warning and then they're falling on floor like leaves on wild wind, not even being able to see the intense eyes looking at them as if they're idiots.

Luffy was going to keep on his way but is stopped by the kiddo he felt before, the kid trembled like a plant on a storm, Luffy already hated it, why so much fear? What did he feared so much? Was it cold? Then why not chase after a jacket? Luffy merely gazed the kid, the pinked one trembled even more but as soon as he looked up to Luffy, the fear disolved into nothing, it was like an warm feeling over the boy as long as he was near the oddly and happy man in front of him, it was like... a new sun, one that wasn't going to disappear even if it were night, was it freedom...? How oddly it was, and yet, his eyes were the only thing the pinked feared for a slightly moment.
