What happens when Luffy never met the straw hats or shanks pirates? Well! First off, all of the crew members joined the red-haired pirates after meeting! Usopp stayed with his dad and everyone is peaceful. Shanks still owns the straw hat and never lost an arm. They had a giant ship for all of the crew members. (There’s a lot of them) and one day they dock at an island home to craftsmen, engineers and scientists. They were exploring then the crew found their way to a scientist and the scientist gladly showed his lab. Animals, potions, spells. Tubes. All of it was experiments. Then they came across a tube. Inside was a human. His name was Luffy. Black hair, sun-kissed skin with freckles and his skin perfect. He was shirtless and had pants on as he floated unconscious in the liquid in the tube. He was an experiment. Experiment 068. The scientists are known to be good people and dont kill then or anything so it was fine. The crew intrigued. Talking to the scientists and amongst each other because they didn’t know him. But shanks, the captain, was quiet. Until he blurted out he would pay any anoubt of money for Luffy. Because.. when shanks saw Luffy his breath hitched. Just by looking. Shank knew he wanted Luffy on the crew. Because he immediately saw Luffy as his son. Maybe instinct? Or is it ment to be? But after a good long moment of shans being quiet and everyone else talking. He blurted it out. It made everyone freeze. Shocked. But shanks had a good reason. Shanks was always a good man and told he would be an amazing father. Shanks always said he’d never adopt or have kids. But now? Well.. he had a change in heart. Since Luffy is an experiment. He has more powers along with the devil fruit. Fire, ice, telekinesis, and also float. And next to Luffy’s tube was UTA. A girl with red and white hair. Shanks wanted both of them. Uta had been through almost the same things as Luffy with some different powers. And what was even more shocking. Zoro fell in love with Luffy at first sight. Holy shit.
