The Boy Who Changed a Life 2

Chapter 1

Another story! This one is a sequel to The Boy Who Changed a Life, the one where Katakuri adopts Luffy. I just had the idea to make a sequel even though it's been months since I wrote the first one, though I just finished posting it on AO3. People really enjoyed that one, and this one has more fluff and involves some of the Straw hats, who are also children! This story is only half the length of the first, but still multiple chapters.

I changed Zoro's age so he could fit in with the others. Sanji's age is the same compared to the others. Two years older. It's just how it turned out.

There is no school in the OP cannon world, but I made one for the children in the story. They are kindergarten age, and I might not be very accurate with how that goes, but just don't think about that too hard ;) Enjoy~

Katakuri and his son walked through the market, Luffy carrying a box of tangerines from Nami's mommy's orchards, while stacked on top of that was a bag of cherries. It was all he could carry, as he was still small as a six year old. Katakuri carried a large bag with raw meat in them to cook at home for dinner, as they wouldn't be hunting that night, which they did to eat for free and train Luffy's senses.

The citizens made way for the former Big Mom pirate. It had been a year and he hadn't had contact with any of his former siblings. Life was quiet in the sleepy town, and it was nice. Katakuri could do what he wanted, and hadn't killed anyone since his pirate days. He mostly spent time raising Luffy, and making sure to help him become the Pirate King.

With the booths of things under an awning, Luffy was the one to buy them as Katakuri couldn't bend over and reach his arm under the covering. "Hello, Luffy-kun, Katakuri-san. Do you want some almonds today?" the farmer asked. Luffy nodded his head, and got the massive amount of almonds for both of them to eat, though of course Katakuri was the one to carry them.

Luffy paid for the food with the money Katakuri handed him. Luffy felt like a big boy when he paid for things. The father and son still had quite a bit of money he'd gotten from when the man left his old home, but he was also selling the meat of the monster animals in the forest, which only he could hunt and made quite a lot of money selling an animal that could feed a family for a week.

As the two walked back through the path through the sparser woods they'd made, Luffy chattered about looking forward to eating Nami's tangerines. He was friends with her as they had went to the same kindergarten, along with their friends Zoro and Usopp.

Katakuri had been very proud when Luffy recited the whole alphabet for the first time, and had had a small "party", which was just Brulle and Katakuri making lots of desserts with Luffy's close friends coming over, also celebrating their own success.

After a whole year of the ex-pirate and his son being there, many weren't totally terrified of the man anymore. He wasn't much of a talker, unlike his cheery, social butterfly son, but he wasn't rude or threatening to anyone, and even was friendly with Whitebeard when he came to check on the island (Katakuri). Luffy had played with Fire Fist Ace, and they both showed off their powers. Luffy really was a likable kid.

That night, Katakuri and Brulle made pie out of the tangerines, which was Luffy's favorite dessert. It was a break day for training, as it was a Sunday and school was the next day. They trained a lot on Friday' and Saturdays.

No one had seen Luffy's training but the family, so they didn't know how powerful the boy had become in the last year. He could completely control his speed, and was able to electrocute objects in his hands.

On accident, he'd brought a squirrel back to life after he found it after falling out of a tree and accidentally shocked it. Luffy was amazed by that, but had to be told not to do that to other people since it would hurt them.
