Luffy's renewed adventure ( On Hiatus)

chapter 1

Impel Down.

A prison where the worst of the worst criminals were sent. A place filled with horrors beyond your wildest nightmares. A place that any sane person would wish to avoid. And it was in this horrible place, filled with the screams of anguish from the prisoners, was a young man. His name: Monkey D. Luffy.

It had been four years since he was sent here. Four years of being chained to a wall, covered in dried blood. Fours years...since he lost everything.

Luffy was a fearless pirate captain. His crew, the Strawhat Pirates, were known worldwide. They were feared by the marines and to those who read whatever propanga the marines had the newspapers posted. Each and everyone of it's crewmembers were strong in their own way. Each one ready to fight alongside each other to see their dreams come true. Each one was-

"Dead." mumbled Luffy. His face, once a cheery, smiling face full of hope and want for adventure, was now one of emptiness and sorrow. He had failed them all. He had worked to become stronger so that he could protect them...but it was all in vain. He and his crew were one island away Raftel, the last island on the Grand Line, and the rumored resting place of the One Piece, Gol D. Roger's greatest treasure. They were ready to go, but the marines had sent everything they had at them. After the fight, the marines were left with only about 3% of what they had sent. And the Strawhats...were dead before Luffy's eyes. He just stood there, lifeless, and covered in blood, as the remaining marines shackled him in seastone and dragged him away.

And now, he was here. Left to live out his days in this horrid prison. He sighed as he closed his eyes, feeling tired and mubling before falling into slumber "Everyone...forgive me."

"Wake up."

Luffy's eyes slowly opened. He was expecting to see a prison guard through iron bars, telling him it was meal time. He wasn't expecting to see the sight before him at all. He was in a small room, lying on a bed. He looked around, genuinely confused as to why he was in this strange place instead of his prison cell. He sat up, still in his prisoner outfit and seastone shackles. "Where...am I?"

"Bought time you woke up."

Luffy spun around to see what looked to be a very aged man walk into the room. He was slightly taller than Luffy with gray hair and wrinkles. He wore a brown, button up shirt, tan slacks, and white shoes. He looked at Luffy, smiling as he came closer. "Glad to see you're awake." he said in a raspy voice.

"Who are you old man?" Luffy asked as the man stopped about 3 feet away from him. He watched as the man raised his hand at him in a fist. He stared, wondering what the old man would do.

"Open!" said the man as he opened his hand. Luffy suddenly heard a 'click' as his shackles fell off of him. Luffy looked at his freed arms and legs, rubbing them as he felt his strength come back.

"Whoa! How'd you do that old man? Do you have powers too?"

"The Open Open Fruit." the man said with a nod. "I am a man that opens things. Like that." he said as he pointed behind Luffy. Luffy turned around and saw what looked like a hole in the hole. But his eyes widened at the sight in the hole. It was his prison cell. He kept staring even as the man walked to the hole and placed his hands around it, pushing the edges together until it closed. The old man then looked back at Luffy, who then looked at the old man.

"So you opened up a hole into my cell and pulled me out of there?" he asked. "Thanks old ma-" was all he said before he collapsed.

"Are you okay?"

"Hungry."

Some time later, Luffy was eating a mountain of food as the old man stared in awe.

"They said you had a big appetite, but this is unreal." he mumbled as Luffy wolfed down the food before him. After what felt like an eternity, Luffy laid back the chair patting his swollen belly, giving a loud belch.
