First Island

Sailing on the sea can be boring when there is not much to do. There is also the possibility of getting eaten by a seaking or being attacked by pirates. Nevertheless, sailing can give you a lot of adventures by visiting new islands, discovering new food, people, culture, etc., doing new things, and more to be found. Well for both of our aspiring pirates, it seems it has not been going well for them.

"Franco we've been sailing for a long time already, but we have not seen any signs of land or ships. It's like we're alone in this vast sea." said Alex as he was looking for ways to suppress his boredom.

"Don't worry captain, I estimate that in a day we will be seeing or first island." said Franco as he was looking at the map he got from Vincent before they left Momon Island.

As they were having this conversation, a Pirate saw them and quickly told their captain "Captain Voland, there is a small ship not too far away from us. What should we do?"

"Let's steal their supplies then kill them. They look like newbies to me they've probably sailed very recently." said Captain Voland as he was looking at the clothes and state of the two boys on the small ship.

"FIRE THE CANNONS!" said one crew member as they tried to fire a warning shot and scare the two boys.

*BOOM* *SPLASH*

The cannonball hit the water close to Alex and Franco's ship. And Franco immediately told his captain what was happening.

"Uhhh Alex, I think that pirate ship is trying to shoot at us." said Franco as he was looking at the pirate ship that was getting close to them.

"WHAT?! A PIRATE SHIP!!! FINALLY I GET TO FIGHT!!! WHERE IS IT?! WHERE ARE MY FIRST VICTIMS?!" shouted Alex as he was itching for a fight since they haven't gotten any action after sailing from their hometown.

"They're right in front of us captain." said Franco as Alex stood up then jumped towards the pirate ship using all of his hands.

When Alex finally climbed to the deck of the ship, he saw 15 people on the ship and asked "So, who are you people?"

"WE ARE THE GREAT VOLAND PIRATES LED BY OUR MAGNIFICENT CAPTAIN, CAPTAIN NIGEL VOLAND!" shouted the crew in unison while doing some poses with Alex thinking 'What the heck are these chuunibyous doing? Why are they even pirates?'

Alex just shook his head then asked the captain "You, how much is your bounty?" while pointing his sword at him.

"You are really asking me that kid? Alright, just don't blame me if you get scared of my bounty. My bounty is a whopping five million berries! AH AH AH!" Captain Voland said as he was laughing like Dracula.

Alex, who was hearing this, just shook his head because five million berries is pocket money compare to the pirates his pops told him that were sailing in the Grandline. Heck, even his pops has a bounty of six hundred million berries. So when hearing about his bounty Alex just laughed out loud and said "What a trash bunch. Look here, you all should be proud of being the future Pirate King's steppingstone."

"HUUUUUH! YOU LOOKING DOWN ON US BRAT?! OY TEACH THIS BRAT A LESSON!" shouted Voland as he got annoyed when Alex called his crew trash.

"Alright this should be quick." said Alex as he unsheathes both of his swords while in a lunging position. Then he jumped towards the crew and stops before the captain while sheathing both of his swords again.

*SLASH* *SCHWING*

Voland, not understanding what was happening, just saw Alex, who was originally far away from him, now standing in front of him with a bored expression while his crew dropped like wooden planks and were dead. Voland thought 'So fast.' and was scared as he was looking at the seventeen-year-old in front of him like some sort of monster. He heard Alex say "I ain't looking down on you and your pirate crew. You lot just aren't worth my time." and that was the last thing he heard as his head separated from his body.

"Welp now that is done, better loot the ship and take back his head to get my pirate crew some much needed money." said Alex as he looted the ship and put all of their valuables in a sack and went back to their ship.

"How was it Captain?" asked Franco as it was only five minutes since Alex climbed on the ship.

"They were boring, and they just gave me their loot for free. Oh by the way, we have to give the captain's head to the marines for the bounty. We really need money right now." said Alex as he showed the sack full of money and other valuables and the head of the captain in a separate box as they make their way towards the first island they will visit in their adventure.

After sailing for another day, Alex and Franco finally saw land and they parked their ship at the port in the island. According to the map they have, they are currently in the Goa Kingdom specifically in Foosha Village. They asked around for the nearest bar so they could get some information about pirates they could hunt for money. They were told that there was a bar called Party's Bar where they could get some information and good food and drinks.

After getting the information they needed, they went to Party's Bar where they saw Makino, the beautiful green-haired server, welcoming them to their bar with a smile on her face. Alex just said hello and ordered for both of them, but Franco was in a daze when he saw Makino. Alex saw this and hit Franco's side with his elbow and whispered to him "You better get her now as she might have a lot of admirers in this village considering her beauty." while giving him a grin.

Franco's face became red as he heard what Alex said and nodded as he went up to Makino to ask "excusemedoyouhaveaboyfriend?" in a small and shy voice. Makino heard this and she blushed as she did not expect one of the two boys that just went in the bar would ask her out and be their girlfriend. But she just shook her head no as a response to his question. Franco getting her response was happy and told her that they would be staying here for about a week or so and in that period of time they would get to know each other. Makino heard this and said no because no one would be manning the bar if she was gone. Then Alex, being the good wingman and best friend suddenly spoke up "I'M GONNA COVER FOR YOU DON'T WORRY!"

Makino couldn't say anything anymore and just said with a smile "I'll be counting on you then."

Then they heard someone shouting "OYYYYY WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKINO!"

They then turned towards a six-year-old kid, who was wearing a straw hat like Alex, about to attack Franco when Makino suddenly said, "It's okay Luffy they are our guests." Luffy hearing this put his guard down and with his signature smile said hello to Alex and Franco.

"That's a nice hat you got there kid. The name is Alexander D. Great, a pirate and that is Franco D. Hill he is my first mate. And my dream is to be the Pirate King." said Alex as he was interested in this kid wearing the same hat as him.

Luffy hearing that Alex also had the same dream as him suddenly shouted "NO! I AM GOING TO BE THE PIRATE KING!"

"Yeah, you're going to be the Pirate King in the future, but I'm gonna sail first so I'll get there before you. But, let's make a deal first. When I become Pirate King in the future, I will wait for you at the top. And when the time comes, challenge me for it. Okay, Luffy?" said Alex as he wanted to see how this boy's future would look like.

Luffy nodded after hearing this and went out to train to catch up to Alex so that he would become the Pirate King.
