Ch 02: A Pirate’s First Steps
Luffy
(excitedly) Today’s the day I set sail!
Luffy
Time to find my crew and adventure out on the Grand Line!
Villager
(concerned) Are you really going through with this?
Villager
The sea is dangerous.
Luffy
(confident) Absolutely!
Luffy
I’ve got this straw hat and a big dream.
Luffy
What could go wrong?
Shanks
(from a distance) Just remember what I told you, Luffy.
Shanks
Be prepared for anything.
Luffy
(nodding) I will, Shanks! Thanks for everything!
Luffy boards a small boat and begins to set sail.
Suddenly, the sea becomes turbulent, and Luffy’s dinghy is caught in a whirlpool.
Luffy
(panicking) Whoa! This isn’t good!
Luffy’s dinghy is pulled into a large ship where he lands with a thud.
The crew of the ship surrounds him, laughing mockingly.
Pirate 1
(laughing) Look what the sea dragged in!
Pirate 2
(sneering) A scrawny kid with a straw hat!
Luffy
(grinning) Who are you guys?
The pirates part to reveal
Alvida, a large, intimidating woman wielding a massive iron mace.
Alvida
(smirking) I am the great pirate Alvida!
Alvida
Who dares to trespass on my ship?
Koby, a timid boy with glasses, peeks out from behind the crew, nervously wringing his hands.
Coby
(whispering to himself) This is bad…
Coby
Alvida is going to be furious…
Luffy
(cheerfully) Hi there! Who are you?
Coby
(stammering? I-I’m Koby.
Coby
I’ve been working on this ship for years… I don’t have a choice.
Alvida
(shouting? Koby! Who is this brat?
Coby
(trembling) H-he just appeared on the ship, Lady Alvida…
Later, in a quieter part of the ship, Luffy and Koby talk while the crew is busy.
Luffy
(curiously) Why are you working for her if you don’t want to?
Coby
(sighing) I was trying to leave my hometown on a boat, but I accidentally boarded Alvida’s ship.
Coby
I’ve been stuck here ever since. My dream is to join the Marines and capture bad guys!
Luffy
(grinning) Then why don’t you just leave?
Coby
(shocked) Are you crazy? Alvida would kill me!
Alvida and her crew find Luffy and Koby talking.
Alvida glares at them menacingly.
Alvida
(angrily) What are you two whispering about?
Alvida
Koby, are you planning to betray me?
Coby
(trembling) N-no, Lady Alvida! I would never!
Luffy
(standing up) He wants to join the Marines! And I’m gonna help him!
Alvida
(laughing) You? Help him? I’d like to see you try!
Luffy charges at Alvida, his body stretching as he throws a punch.
Luffy
(shouting) Gomu Gomu no Pistol!
Alvida is sent flying, crashing into the ship’s mast.
Alvida Crew
(shocked) He defeated Alvida!
Koby watches in awe as Luffy defeats Alvida, his fear replaced by determination.
Coby
(muttering) to himself If Luffy can do it, so can I…
Luffy
(grinning) See? You don’t have to be afraid anymore.
Coby
(nodding) You’re right. I’ll follow my dream and join the Marines!
**The Grand Line and the Marines**
Luffy and Koby sit on the deck, looking out at the sea.
Coby
explaining If you want to become the King of the Pirates, you’ll need to find the One Piece.
Coby
It’s hidden somewhere in the Grand Line.
Luffy
(determined) Then that’s where I’ll go!
Coby
(worriedly) But the Marines are always looking for pirates.
Coby
You’ll have to be careful.
Luffy
(confidently) I’m not afraid of the Marines.
Luffy
Nothing will stop me from becoming the King of the Pirates!
The next day, Luffy and Koby prepare to set sail on a small boat they found on the ship.
Coby
(nervously) Are you sure this is a good idea?
Luffy
(grinning) Absolutely! Let’s go find the One Piece!
As they sail away, the silhouette of a Marine ship appears on the horizon.
Coby
(pointing) Look, Luffy! It’s the Marines!
Luffy
(laughing) This is going to be fun!
