The Straw Hat crew thought they had reached the top. Arrogant and tired of the chaos, they decide they no longer need their captain. Leaving a drugged Luffy and a chained Zoro stranded on a dead coral reef, they sail away to conquer the New World themselves.
They thought they were cutting dead weight. Instead, they woke up a sleeping giant.
The betrayal forces Luffy into a new Awakening. Gone is the grinning boy in the straw hat; in his place is a quiet, white-haired captain with a power the sea isn't ready for. Alongside his loyal First Mate, Luffy is heading back into the Grand Line. It's time to show his former crew exactly why he was the one leading them in the first place.

Content Warning: This story deals with heavy themes of betrayal, emotional trauma, and more serious violence than canon One Piece.

A/N: This is my very first time writing a fanfic! I read a similar story before but didn't like how Luffy forgave them after the betrayal, so now I'm sitting here and writing this fanfic. Feel free to leave feedback in the comments. Enjoy! ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡
