Chapter 3- Gluttony. I am sorry
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
____LUFFY POV____
"Damn it Luffy! I told you not to eat that!" A voice shouted at me angrily. Nami, our navigator.
"Yeah! Stop stuffing yourself and making Nami-Swan so stressed!" A blond man with strange, curly eyebrows yelled at me. Sanji, the ships chef.
I just stood there. Allowed them to yell at me.
"I'm sorry." I mutter.
"Sorry's not gonna cover it! Do you realise how much you're costing us with all your eating?! We'll be broke before we reach the end of the week!" Nami hissed.
"Lay off!" A voice yelled at the girl. Zoro. "You DO realise you're also to blame as well, right? You spend so much on clothes it's just as bad as Luffy and eating!" I'm pretty sure he defended me but I'm also pretty sure he insulted me as well..... Yeah that's Zoro...
"Oi, What did you say Marimo?!" Sanji yelled at Zoro. Why can't they just get along?
I end up ignoring them as I head on over to Sunny's head and sit on it, thinking back to how I got here.
I should never have been born.
My father, Dragon, knows this...
My older half brother, Ace, knows this as well....
Oh... I should probably introduce myself, ne?
I am Gluttony, otherwise known as Monkey D Luffy. I am 17 and I am captain of the Strawhat pirates.
I guess I can tell you about myself.
I am, as I've been told a demon child.
___NO ONE POV___
"Mama? When will lil' bro come out?"
Asked a five year old Ace. Head gently on his mothers 6 and a half month pregnant stomach.
"Soon Ace. He'll come out when he is ready. You know you took way longer than he is now, right?" Ace's mother, Portgas D Rogue, smiled to her elder son with her fingers running through her second mates hair. Her mate was just beside her, lying back with his head in her lap.
Her (second) mate is Monkey D Dragon, the Revolutionary.
Unbeknownst to her current husband and son, she is the personification of the Sin - Lust.
Her first mate was a Sin as well as Ace's biological father, Gol D Roger who was known as Gluttony. He was also the pirate king! Rogue was proud when she has found him with a loyal crew, being hunted by Marines and still have time for her.
But he died, he was badly ill and so he allowed himself to be captured and executed.
Rouge nearly died when she felt her red string of fate break. But she had grown severely curious as to why a new thread was made with a small dragon charm attached to it. A new mate? That was strange...
20 months later and she gave birth to Roger's son, Ace.
Sometime later, she had met her second mate. He was a rough looking man that went by the name of Dragon. Rouge thought it was a very strange name to name a child, but as he told her that his father was Monkey D Garp it made perfect sense. Garp was indeed a strange, strange man.
Sadly, due to having Ace for twice the amount of time that she was supposed to, her body wasn't able to survive having a second child.
"Uwaaaaaahhhhhhh" A mothers cry.
"It's a boy!" A doctors declaration.
Rouge was bleeding, she knew, she held the small infant who was born early into the world close to her chest.
She vaguely saw the mark that had appeared onto the tiny babes body. A leopard? How peculiar.
"What do you wish to name him?"
A nurse asked the dying mother.
"Luffy... Monkey D Luffy...." She replied softly. Slowly.
"MAMA!!"
"ROUGE!!"
She heard the voices of her two other precious people.
Dragon and his step son Ace saw Rouge. She held something so small and so tiny in her hands, close to her chest. They barely registered that it was a baby. All they saw was their wife/mother, dying. All because of that.....
Demon...
"P-please.... Don't... hate him.... he needs.. love to live... it's not his fault..." Rouge manages to say. But her plead fell on deaf ears too blind to the hate towards the infant lying on her chest. "I love you both..." As those final words were spoken, her heart beat ceased.
"MAMA!!!" Ace cried, Dragon holding on to the boy. It won't do him any good if he let the boy go and try to awaken Rouge. He knows she won't wake up.
Ace's rage grew. He shouted at the tiny infant. "I hate you! You shouldn't have been born! YOU KILLED HER!!" His words kept going and Dragon agreed with the boy.
A nurse then came into the room. "Will you be taking him home?" She asked tentatively, but she knew the answer. She could hear it from down the hallway.
"No. I refuse to take such a demon as my son. If I see that thing come near me at any time on its pathetic life.... I'll kill it." Dragon said harshly. "Ace, I must leave. I have to go work as my duty as leader of the revolutionaries."
Ace nodded but glare in utter hatred and disgust at the infant known as Luffy.
The two left the small hospital to their separate ways. Dragon to the revolutionaries, Ace to the Jungle where he trained, was raised by a bandit named Dadan and later met a boy named Sabo.
Meanwhile, Garp found out about Luffy and took him and raised him carefully since he was born prematurely.
As the years passed, Luffy was known as the Demon Child all through out the village. A woman who owns a bar named Makino helped Garp in raising Luffy, she was a kind, sweet woman and was always able to smile.
Sadly, when Luffy was able to crawl around, villagers had found ways to harm the small child while making it look as if he did it on his own or it was an accident.
Luffy always knew why he was hated.
He killed his mother. No... He doesn't deserve to call her mother... she'll just go by 'Her'....
At six Luffy had met a red haired pirate names Shanks. Shanks was a really kind man for a pirate.
"Hey Anchor!" Called the red haired man. "What are you doing all alone over there? Come on we're all going to see Makino for food and booze!"
Luffy looked to the man he later thought to be a father-figure. The small boy ran over to the pirate and his crew, noticing the sneers and glares he was given by villagers that had seen him. He tried to move as fast as he could without having others notice his limp, he was beaten by some villagers earlier and so he just had to hide it from Shanks and his crew. He ate the Gomu Gomu no mi recently so he was still trying to gain control of being rubber.
Shanks smiled until he saw something about the boy he saw as a son.
Was that... Blood? It seems that his crew also noticed the blood of the boy. Also how he limped and was swaying slightly with each step.
"H-hey... Luffy?" The pirate captain slowly called. But Luffy was about to call out, he fainted.
In shock and distress, the red haired pirates were able to (kind of) collect themselves and take Luffy to Makino.
She patched up the poor boy and told them of Luffy and why he's always hurt.
To say the least, the Red Haired Pirates were disgusted and enraged even more so for the captain, untill Lucky Roo had said. "Hey captain! This boys got a mark like ya got yourself but it's different..."
Shanks immediately moved towards the boy with the Leopard Mark and the word so elegantly written upon his skin.
Gluttony....
He found the last one. Their last family member...
When Luffy woke up he was hysterical. Shanks got the men and Makino out of the room, he gently held the boy who was still screaming 'sorry' and 'he didn't mean it' or even 'Stop'.
Shanks held the boy and let his power do its magic. The power of greed has its own special properties, his way with words could get him what he wants.
He sung to the boy an old pirates song that he sung when he was younger and under Gol D Rogers command, Binks Sake.
The young devil fruit user looked to the father-figure and they had talked about being Sin. Luffys power of being a sin was time and space...
After Shanks and his crew left (not without giving the boy his Strawhat and making a promise) and Makino was out of town to restock her bar the villagers decided to make a celebration a week later..
They captured Luffy and tortured him to near death, crucified him and burned him at while they were at it.
Luffys screams could be heard far and wide.
Luffy fell to the ground, the villagers long gone. A man had seen the events unravel near the end, he was disgusted beyond words could ever be described.
Luffy hesitantly looked up as he felt a presence in front of him, as he did he saw gold coloured eyes.
The man took Luffy and healed him as best he could.
"W-who are you?" Luffy stutters, his voice raw and painful from screaming earlier.
The golden eyed man gave the boy water and replied. "I am Pride, otherwise known as Dracule Mihawk. What is your name?"
"L-Luffy.. Monkey D Luffy, Shanks said that I'm also called Gluttony... Do you know Shanks? He's also called Greed." He answers.
Mihawk smiles slightly. "Yes I am aware who Greed is. He is my mate..."
Mihawk taught him how to fight, how to kill, how to care for wounds and how to care for himself along with keeping in control of his powers. Shanks gave the boy a crash course but couldn't give him the full lesson on his powers, he didn't have time but he did what he could.
Over the time of what has happened, Luffy met the other sins, Lust who went by Penguin, Sloth who is called Kaku, Wrath who goes by Marco (he was also a pirate) and just recently, Envy who was a boy named Sabo.
Sabo had lived in the jungle with a boy Luffy knew all to well...
Ace...
And it seemed Ace didn't forget him either but he didn't do anything.. yet. Luffy pretend he didn't know him and that kept him alive that little bit longer.
Days turned to weeks which turned to months and by then they a became closer, Sabo trained Luffy in his powers of being a Sin and the blond noticed something.
There were times in which Luffy would eat like there's no tomorrow and then there's times where he's starve himself for months on end. Or binge eat, he's eat but then throw it back up when no ones around. That became worrying to the Envy personification but there was no drastic change to the kid so he didn't worry so much (must've been a thing about only Gluttony's would know) but he did keep an eye on the boy.
Ace had hated Luffy. He killed his mother! Right?!
"You know you took way longer than he is now, right?" Her words rung. Did that mean that she would have had problems having another child?
Ace briskly ignored the thought and kept hating the smallest boy of the trio.
Until Sabo died...
Ace read the letter that was made to him. 'Take care of Luffy and yourself'.
He saw Luffy cry, he hid behind a large tree and saw the boy fall into hysterics from the loss of a brother. His eyes widen when he saw the smaller boy claw at his arms, small droplets of blood turn into streams, screams of 'Im sorry!' 'It's my fault!' And 'why was I born?!'
Ace could see. The boy was broken. Broken and he pushed it that far, he took the knife to the kid and took part in causing him pain.
His little brother....
"P-please... Don't... hate him.... he needs.. love to live... it's not his fault..." Rouges voice rung softly in his head and he realises that he went against his mothers last wish....
Ace had a mother to care for him, to love him. Ace had a father who stood up for him, to teach him about new things. Luffy never had any of that, hell Garp was hardly there for him either!
"Luffy...." He whispered.
From then on, Ace swore to make it up for his little brother. To protect him!
Luffy knew he was trying but it would never be the way they'd like.
His father is 'the Second', his mama is 'Her' and his brother goes by 'the Eldest', the other sins call them that as to not cause Luffy into a breakdown.
There's always a monster there for him.
Her names Na-Na-Chan, sometimes Mother. She looks like Rouge but with crimson eyes, black hair and a dark coloured dress.
Luffy eventually went out to see in search of a crew... and we all know how that went.
____LUFFY'S POV____
"LUFFY!" I heard multiple voice calls out to me, breaking me from my thoughts.
"Huh?" I say.
"Are you okay Luffy?" Chopper asked. "You've been staring out at sea for almost 3 hours!"
"Really?"
"Yeah! Are you ok Luffy-bro?" Franky asked.
"I'm fine. I was just thinking of what's been happening lately.... I missed my family, that's all." I smile at the thought of said family, the Sins.
"Family? You mean other than Ace?"
Nami asked.
"Yeah including me there's seven of us. Ace isn't really apart of it, this was before I met him." I smile big. "I was the youngest brother!"
My crew tried to get answers from me as to who they were but I just swiftly changed the subject to food.
"Hey Luffy! Isn't that Whitebeards ship?!" Usopp shouts/asks.
I nod. "Might as well say Hi! Shishishi!" I laugh.
Alright! I get to see Marco! My big brother, Wrath!
