Your POV:

Luffy: Wow ! What a great day ! The weather's so nice !

"Yeah, who could have predicted that we'd have to face a disaster so soon ?"

We were currently referencing to the giant whirlpool, just about to swallow our boat in.

"Getting swallowed by a giant whirlpool... yeah, we kinda neglected that possibility."

Luffy: maybe we were a little careless... sadly there's nobody around to help us. Too bad I can't swim, too.

"Luffy, in that kind of situation, I don't think being able to swim would make a real difference."

Luffy: That's true, what was I thinking ? I'd drown even if I could swim.

A wave made our boat keel over, and we both disappeared in the whirlpool.

3rd person POV:

Captain: Why is there dust on my bulwark ?

Pirate: A thousand pardons, lady Alvida !! I-I thought I'd cleaned every inch of this ship ! I'll clean everything all over again ! Please...

Alvida: "Please" What... ?

Pirate: please, not the iron mace !! I-I don't wanna die !!!

Alvida: Koby ! Who is the fairest throughout ALL the seas ?

Koby: Ahem... Heh heh... Why YOU are, Lady Alvida !! No one compares to you !!

Alvida: Correct !! Which is why I will not tolerate ANYTHING dirty !! The ship I sail in must be as clean and beautiful as I am, understood ? Remember, Koby, was it not for you vast knowledge of the seas, I would feed you to the sharks already ! But don't push your luck !

Koby: Y-Yes... that's very kind of you...

Alvida: other than that, you're WORTHLESS ! Here, shine my shoes !!

Koby: Y-Yes, Lady Alvida ! Right away !

Alvida: I don't want to see even one speck of dust on this ship !!!

Pirates: AYE AYE !!

Alvida: That's enough Koby ! You're pathetic !! if you've got time to grovel, then you've got time to scrub the toilet !!

Koby: heh heh... Yes, Milady ! Right away... Right away...

Pirate 1: What's that, Koby ? Did a barrel of rum wash up on the beach ?

Koby: Y-Yeah, and it's not empty ! I wasn't sure what to do with it...

Pirate 2: Well I know what to do with it ! Let's drink it all up !

Pirate 1: But if the captain finds out, she'll shave our heads !

Pirate 3: She'll never find out ! We're the only ones here. Just Koby and the three of us know about this.

Pirate 1: I guess you're right.

Pirate 3: And you ain't seen nothing, right Koby ?

Koby: Right ! I-I ain't seen nothing ! Heh heh heh... Please don't hit me...

At that moment, someone knocked on the shed's door.

Your POV:

I think that's the right place, the barrel clearly went to that island. I though the people here could help, but from their expression while opening the door, I was already pissing them off.

Pirate 1: What do you want, kid ? Get away, we're busy here.

"it won't take long, I'm just looking for a barrel that went to this island. As any of you seen it ?"

Pirate 1: And what if we did ? You really think we'll just give it to you like that ?

"It doesn't matter if you want it or not. LUFFY !! NAP TIME'S OVER NOW !!!"

From the barrel, our rubber boy jumped out, stretching himself.

Pirate 2: What the devil ?!

Luffy: THAT WAS A GREAT NAP !!! Oh hey, Y/n, you're here already ?

"Get your butt out of here, we need to find another boat now."

Luffy: Oh well, I guess I survived somehow, even if I got so dizzy I thought I was gonna barf !! Hahahaha !

Luffy: hey... Who are you guys ?

Pirates: WHO THE HECK ARE YOU ?!! What are you doing in there ?!

Before Luffy could answer, a flying mace entirely destroyed the shed, sending his barrel flying into the forest behind it.

Alvida: Back to work, you scurvy dogs !!!

Alvida: You lazy swabbies ! Who's the fairest throughout the seas ?

Pirate 1: Lady Alvida ! You are... of course !

Alvida: And you dare to defy me ?

Pirate 2: W-What ?! Never ! Not in a million-

Alvida: Don't play dumb with me ! I could hear you talking all the way from the ship ! Which one of you had such a 'great nap' ?!

Pirate 3 *Gasp* Uh... Captain, we have intruders !!

Pirate 1: Yeah! That good for nothing Koby brought two strange fellers here !

Alvida: What ?! Could they be bounty hunters, after the price on my head ? Koby ! You traitorous little runt !

Pirate: But the only bounty hunter bold enough to come here...

Pirate 1: That's ridiculous !! The navy has him locked up... And I don't think he'd work with anyone else.

Alvida: BUT if he's as clever as they say... He might've escaped ! And they say that the infamous Roronoa Zoro IS that clever !!

"Wow Luffy, that was an impressive flight you just did there."

Koby: Um... Are you okay ? Are you hurt ? After getting knocked around so much, you must be...

Luffy: Ha ha ha ha ! I'm fine, just a little surprised is all. Mind helping get out of here, Y/n ?

"Here goes. By the way, kid, do you know where we currently are ?"

Koby: Um... This island is the hideout of Iron-mace Alvida, the lady pirate. I'm Koby, her cabin boy.

"I see. Well, I'm Y/n L/n, and this is Monkey D. Luffy. By any chance, would you know where we can find a dinghy ?"

Luffy: Yeah, ours get sucked into a giant whirlpool. It caught us by surprise.

Koby: You got sucked into a giant whirlpool ?! You're both lucky to be alive ! But if it's a dinghy you want, I have one... Sorta...

"What is this supposed to be, a coffin ?"

Koby: I built it myself, it took me two years...

Luffy: Two years ?! And you don't want it ?

Koby: ... I really don't need it anymore. I built it to escape from this place... But I don't have the courage to try it. I guess it's my fate to be a cabin boy for the rest of my life. But I ONCE had a different dream.

"Why don't you just escape then ?"

Koby: N-No way ! Just thinking about what Alvida would do to me if she caught me makes my bladder weak... I just can't risk it...

Koby: I'll never forget that fateful day... I just wanted to go fishing... And I boarded a pirate ship by mistake. That was two years ago. In exchange for my life, I've been working as their cabin boy.

Luffy: You're kinda dumb and clumsy ! And you're gutless too, you really are worthless !

Koby: You don't have to be THAT frank...

"Koby, do you perhaps have a blue-haired girl as your relative ?"

Koby: I... I don't think so, why ?

"No reason, I just wanted to check."

Koby: Anyways, you're right. I don't have the guts to float around at sea in a barrel like you... Why did you go to sea anyway ?

Luffy: Well, you see... I'm gonna be the king of the pirates !!!

"And I'm his first mate, nice to meet you !"

Koby: K-King of the pirates ?!! But... You'd have to make the WHOLE WORLD kneel to you !!

'I already did it once, I can do it again.'

Koby: Wealth, fame, power... You'd have to achieve it all !!! Don't tell me you're going after Gold Roger's treasure, the 'One Piece' !!! Do you both want to die ?! Every pirate in the world is after that !!

Luffy: And so are we.

Koby: But the odds against you are ASTRONOMICAL !!! It's impossible !! You want to be the king of the pirates in the golden age of piracy ?! It'll never happen !!

*BONK*

Koby: Hey ! W-Why'd you hit me ?!

"Dunno, I just wanted too."

Koby: Heh... I'm used to it. Heh heh heh...

Luffy: We're not afraid to die, Koby. I've set myself to become the king of pirates... And if I die trying, then at least I tried !

"Luffy, I though I made it clear, I'm not going to let you die, so the only left possibility for you is success."

Koby: 'What guts... What DETERMINATION !!' Y-You're not even afraid to die ?!

Luffy: And I believe we'll succeed, too. Or am I just deluding myself...

Koby: 'I never looked at it like that before...' Maybe... I can be like that ! If I'm willing to risk my life trying...

"Hm ? What're you yammering about ?"

Koby: ... Maybe it's possible ! Do you think I can join the navy ?!

"The navy ?"

Koby: We'll end up being enemies, but I want to join the navy and fight the bad guys !! It's been my dream since I was a little kid !! Luffy, Y/n ! Do you think I can do it ?

Luffy: How would we know ?

Koby: Well, I'm gonna do it !! What have I got to lose ?! I don't wanna be a miserable cabin boy my whole life !! Better to risk my life to achieve my dream ! I'll join the navy... And then... I'll capture Alvida !!

Alvida: WHO are you going to capture, RUNT ?!

Lunging forward from the forest, that fat lady completely destroyed Koby's 'boat' with her mace.

Alvida: You little sneak ! Did you really think you could escape from me ?! Are THOSE the bounty hunters you hired ? Well, they're certainly aren't Roronoa Zoro... So I'll give you one chance to repent... WHO is the FAIREST throughout all the seas ? Answer me !!

Koby: Heh heh heh... Lady Alvida, you...

Luffy: Hey, who's that tough-looking old biddy ?

*LE GASP*

"Wow, I think we just discovered a new species of terrestrial whale !"

Pirates: How dare... No way !

Koby: Guys !! Take it back !! Throughout all the seas, Lady Alvida is... Lady Alvida is...

Luffy: I'm gonna be the king of pirates. And if I die trying... Then at least I tried !

Koby: Lady Alvida is... THE UGLIEST HAG OF ALL !!! gulp !

Alvida: YOU LITTLE... !!!

Koby: 'I said it and I WON'T take it back ! No more cringing for me !! from now on, I'll fight for my dreams !!' EYAAA !!!

Luffy: That's good for you, Koby ! Now, step back a little.

Alvida: It makes no difference to me... You're all going to die !!

Koby: L-Luffy !!

"Don't worry, he's fine."

Luffy: That didn't even hurt ! 'Cause I'm made of rubber !

Alvida: What ?! There's no way ! No one can just survive the iron mace !!

"Oh well, guess that's gonna make two."

Her mace shined a bright blue, and flew out of her hand.

Alvida: W-What's happening ?! How are you doing this ?!

"Stop looking up, and start looking forward, would you ?"

Luffy: GUM GUM... PISTOL !!

At the exact moment he punched her, I brought her own mace down on her head, both sending her backward AND burying her into the ground.

Pirates: H-His arm stretched like rubber... And the other one, he manipulated the mace without even touching it !!

Pirates: Captain !! They beat Lady Alvida ! They're not humans !

Luffy: Give Koby a dinghy ! He's gonna join the navy !

Pirates: Y-Yessir...

Koby: Luffy...

Koby: So you eat the gum-gum devil fruit when you were little... that's incredible !

"Before you ask, my powers are natural."

Koby: I see, but if you're going after the One Piece, that means you'll have to enter the sea that's called "Grand Line", right ? You know they call it the pirate's graveyard...

"Yep ! That's why we're assembling a super crew."

Luffy: that guy imprisoned at the navy base... What's his name ?

Koby: Roronoa Zoro !

Luffy: If he's a good guy, I'll let him join my crew !

Koby: Now you're talking crazy again ! Never never never ! That'll NEVER happen ! That guy's a demonic beast !

"How do You know ? You already met him ?"

Koby: NEVER !!
