1 Piece AU Luffy Charlotte

(AN: I own nothing and read last chapter)
His bad feeling came true and right now he was dragging his crew and Usopp, who hadn't joined yet but Luffy knew he probably would, to the shore where he felt a bunch of people coming from. People a little stronger than the villagers but definitely weaker than any marine and especially Zoro. Heck if Usopps aim was anything like his dads then even Usopp could take these guys out with a quick enough draw speed.
Luffy yawned as he watched Zoro and Nami and Usopp kick ass while he waited for the other captain, although seeing them being tricked into thinking that they were stronger than they really were was fun. He just waved the others off, got in close, and then did what his Mama Smoothie said was called a wide range bitch slap and knocked them all down like bowling pins. She had gotten in trouble with his other mamas the first time he called out 'Gum Gum Bitch Slap' when training but Baa-chan had thought it hilarious.
That's when Kuro showed up and Luffy smirked a bit as the bastard started talking about his grand plan and how he had escaped death using hypnotism to fool an innocent civilian and a marine who was promoted to Captain for 'Kuros' execution.
"Thanks for monologuing your evil plan for everyone to hear." Luffy said smirking when the man began to sway slightly as if he were either about to use some special move or fall over, one of the two.
"Hmph. It doesn't matter. Soon all four of you will be dead." Kuro said and Luffy snorted slightly as he glanced over to the side where there were some thick trees and bushes.
"And what about all the townspeople? Including the one holding a snail that he used to call the Marines already? Think you could get through us, get through the townspeople and then escape before the marines get here? And since you bragged about the hypnotism then they'll probably send several people here and have them stationed all over so that even if you hypnotize one person you have the rest to have to deal with." Luffy said causing a shop owner to pop his head out of the bushes looking shocked that someone had noticed him while Kuro looked stunned and then pissed as he saw several townspeople hiding in the woods that he hadn't noticed before.
"Besides…even if you did somehow manage to get lucky and kill me…well…my snail was on this whole time and connected with someone in the news industry. You get all that Uncle?" Luffy asked glancing at his snail that was on his shoulder and earning a laugh from it.
"Every word Luffy-kun! This will make an excellent story tomorrow!" Morgans said over the line and Kuro was even more furious now as he disappeared from almost everyone's sights and reappeared slashing everything in his way.
"Hold on a sec uncle. I have to deal with this fake captain cutting down his own crew." Luffy's face was furious as he spoke to his uncle and then gently handed his snail off to Nami before he shot forward and slammed his foot into Kuro's face.
"Ah one of those. You hate Nakama killers. Have fun Luffy-kun." Morgans said and he lit up a cigar while he waited for his nephew to finish beating the shit out of Kuro.
"All done. He's supposed to be a master strategist and he never once thought he could be beaten? Idiot." Luffy said snorting as he wiped off his hands on his shorts, walking back to his gaping crew and the equally stunned townspeople.
"Yes well you do tend to defy peoples expectations and defeat those many thought you couldn't." Morgans said sweatdropping as he remembered the time that Luffy had managed to beat Snack when he was fifteen and then Cracker a few weeks before he left Whole Cake Island.
It had been harder to tell who was more surprised, the rest of the family or the defeated men. Personally Morgans had thought that all of the Homies and citizens who didn't interact with Luffy much were the most surprised, Stussy had been beaming and so proud of her son those days.
"I'll kick anyone's ass! I'll even kick my own ass! No one insults my family or a persons dreams around me and gets it away with it with an unkicked ass!" Luffy said and his crew sweatdropped a bit at hearing how he said he'll kick his own ass while he took the snail back from Nami.
"So we've noticed. Well it was nice hearing from you again nephew, and nice to get another scoop from you, but I have to go and get this written up. You can expect to see it in the mornings paper." Morgans said making Luffy nod his head slightly.
"Alright talk to you later. Take care of yourself Uncle Morgans." Luffy said before the snail went to sleep showing that the call was disconnected.
"So we were talking about having a ship made or buying one right Kaya-san?" Luffy asked looking at a bush by a fence and making everyone look at him confused before the heiress popped up surprised and a bit upset.
"I can't believe he was going to try and kill me for such a petty reason…" Kaya said looking over at Kuro before turning her attention towards the pirates.
"Yes. We had been discussing it. My head butler and ship builder Merry had already started building it the other day when you came to see me about it. He said it should be done in another day or two." Kaya said nodding at Luffy who grinned at this.
"That's good. We can wait another few days. I'm supposed to call Mama Stussy either today or tomorrow anyways." Luffy said as if he didn't even really care how long it took.
"Oi captain…" Zoro got his captains attention and Luffy hummed in question as he looked at his swordsman.
"How about a spar?" Zoro asked with a vicious grin, wanting and ready to see how he held up against someone who spared with Mihawk.
Luffy shrugged his shoulders a bit looking unbothered and it pissed Zoro off.
"Yeah sure. I've got nothing to do. Shouldn't take too long either."
