ONE PIECE : GOLDEN STAR PIRATES

On the southern part of the island there was a steep rocky cliff overlooking the sea, near which were three pirate ships floating above the calm sea.

On the cliff there were ten people looking out at the view above, oblivious to the fact that they were being followed there.

"Send the signal to them to throw the ropes," Don Craig said to one of his men.

The man in question took a whistle from his pocket and blew loudly, the sound of the whistle spread far and was heard from the ship.

Three ropes were thrown from the three ships to the top of the cliff.

The ropes were secured tightly and the group prepared to slide away.

"As soon as you arrive, set off immediately, we will leave this island today and head southwest," Don Krieg said to the men around him before sliding down the rope to the main ship.

"Well you heard the chief, everyone to their positions quickly"

Unfortunately no one had the chance to make a move as Luff quickly appeared among them and cut them down with his two new swords, although he was not good at swordsmanship that did not mean he did not know how to swing a sword.

"For you weaklings, I don't even need to be good at using a sword to eliminate you at all" Luff said as he sheathed the swords in his hand and then turned to look towards the three ships anchored below.

"Just in time, I needed a suitable ship" Luff said before sliding onto the side ship.

"Hey who are you? What are you doing here?" The group of people immediately asked upon seeing Luff who had descended onto the deck.

"Oh me, I'm a new member, I joined today, captain Don Krieg was kind enough to let me join" said Luff while pointing at himself.

"Really, it's okay then" the crew members' expressions softened and they removed their hands from their weapons.

"Just kidding"

"What.." The poor guy didn't get to finish his sentence as he was sent flying out of the ship and into the sea with a punch from Luff.

He was quickly followed by another person, then a third and a fourth, by the time the crew members were able to react and react, there were five people already sent to explore the sea .

"Attack!!"

"Take out the intruder!!"

"You think it's easy to mess with Don Krieg's pirates?"

The people ran towards Luff and took up their weapons against him, Luff smiled upon seeing that and ran towards them.

"Here's what's going on, I cut him down with my sword but nothing happened to him" Another person was sent to The sea before he knows what happened .

"Me too"

Most of their weapons were swords so Luff wasn't afraid and let them cut through him , the swords passed through him and cut through his body as if he was cutting through the air yet nothing happened to him.

As time passed the number of people thrown to the ground increased, none of them could withstand a punch from him and they immediately fell unconscious on the spot.

Within a minute of Luff boarding the ship, there were over thirty bodies lying on the deck and dozens more floating on the surface of the sea.

Luff felt something in the back of his head and immediately dodged, once a bullet right next to his head.

The noise on the ship did not go unnoticed by the other two ships, Don Krieg stood on the main ship and pointed his gun at Luff with a grim expression.

Luff glanced at him before looking around, no one was left standing around him, they were all either dead or unconscious.

Don Krieg's expression was grim, Luff had dodged his bullet and ignored him at the same time, when had this ever happened to him before.

He was Don Krieg, the strongest man in the world, the one who would conquer the Grand Line, find the One Piece, and become the Pirate King.

He could not be forgiven.

The veins on his forehead protruded as he looked at the invader on the other ship, however, the invader suddenly started running towards the edge of the ship, he was planning to jump to the main ship.

'I can shoot him in the air and kill him instantly, he won't be able to avoid it, but how can I let him escape without suffering, he must beg for mercy before being fed to the sharks to assert my dominance.'

As Don Krieg thought, Luff landed on the main ship and was immediately surrounded by the crew members and attacked from all directions.

Luff ignored those holding swords or sharp weapons and focused on those holding pistols.

His observation haki wasn't very good, although he had unlocked it he was still practicing to master it, he was just getting started.

In order not to be caught off guard, Luff got rid of them first and ignored the rest.

After a while, only a few men were left standing there, Don Krieg's face darkened completely and he stepped forward.

"Get out of the way, I'll deal with this fool myself," Don Krieg said in a deep voice.

"The captain is going to make a move , it seems his fate is over"

"Your luck has run out, you will die today"

The voices of the pirates rose as they cheered their leader, for them the outcome was already determined , there was no chance for Luff to survive .

"You are Don Crieg, it is an honor to meet you." Luff said politely as he greeted Don Crieg in front of him.

"It seems that you have some courage to dare to attack my ships, I am Don Crieg, today I will make you regret this."

"However, before I make you regret it, I will give you one last chance, join my crew and serve under me, you will be my right hand and we will conquer the Grand Line together." Don Crieg said in a loud voice as if his dream was only one step away from him.

Seeing Luff's strength and how he was able to defeat many of his crew members, he naturally wanted to recruit him, with him in his crew, the time needed to make his plans true was much shorter.

Luff did not respond and instead rushed towards Don Crieg, upon seeing this, Don Crieg sneered, "It seems that you do not understand words."

Parts of the golden armor he was wearing opened and the mouths of guns came out and fired towards Luff.

Luff kicked a body in front of him and blocked the bullets and reached in front of Don Crieg and puched hard .

"Huh, it won't work, my steel armor can't be destroyed…"

Don Krieg didn't finish his words when he felt pain in his stomach, his proud golden armor was shattered with a single punch and he was sent spurting blood forcefully.

"Stop talking so much and just fight!" Luff grumbled.

Don Krieg stood up from the ground with a shocked face and said tremblingly, "How!! How did you manage to destroy my steel armor?"

His face was pale as he realized the situation he was in, if he didn't play his cards well, he might die today.

Don Krieg immediately knelt down and lowered his head to the ground and said in a pitiful voice, "I'm sorry, please have mercy, you can take what you want but please don't kill me."

His voice was shaking and tears were streaming from his eyes as he cried deeply in fear for his life, his plea was extremely well-crafted.

"This!! The captain has been defeated."

"He's begging for his life, what will happen to us now?"

"We should probably escape quickly before it's too late."

The crew members conversations naturally entered Don Krieg's ear and he cursed loudly, his acting was so flawless that he convinced even his own crew.

Luff stepped forward and standed in front of Don Krieg, Don Krieg smiled inwardly as he took his step and raised the shield at Luff.

"Don Krieg's Toxic Bomb" he shouted as a bomb was fired from the opening of the shield.

The bomb exploded and toxic smoke spread into the air, instantly some of the crew members who were exposed to it fell while others ran away.

"Hahahahaha, what do you think of my strength now, you should have accepted my offer earlier and you wouldn't have to try Don Krieg's Toxic Bomb, this poison is enough to kill an entire village"

Don Krieg bragged about his sneak attack, he was even feeling proud inside.

"Is that all you have?" Suddenly a voice came from behind him but before he could look back a thick arm from the toxic smoke extended out and grabbed his head.

The strong hand around his head was tightening little by little and he felt the gas mask breaking on his face.

The smoke cleared and Luff's headless body was revealed, Luff's head flew out from behind Don Krieg and attached to the rest of his body.

"You...monster." Don Krieg managed to get those words out with difficulty despite the pain.

Don Krieg at the moment was not Don Krieg after two years, Devil Fruits were extremely rare and considered a myth or legend in the East Blue.

Luff grabbed Don Krieg's head tightly and delivered several punches to his chest and abdomen, the golden armor shattered and fragments fell to the ground as the pain threatened to make him lose consciousness.

After making sure that he had had enough and could no longer do any tricks, Luff left Don Krieg and walked towards someone lying on the ground.

It was Gin.

"Now we are ready to talk." Luuf smiled as said .
