Two years passed in the blink of an eye, bringing immense change.
Luffy, now twelve years old and close to his 13th birthday, had shed the last traces of childhood, growing into a strikingly handsome young man. His once round face had sharpened, his features sculpted with a balance of boyish charm and raw masculinity that made women—regardless of age—steal second glances.
His physique had also developed beyond his years, lean yet packed with explosive power, a body honed to perfection through endless battles and training. His piercing eyes, once filled with reckless innocence, now held the sharpness of a warrior—one who had fought, conquered, and thrived.
His name had become a storm sweeping through the Grand Line and New World.
Rear Admiral Monkey D. Luffy, the Divine Fist, was a rising terror among pirates, a monster who captured or killed high-profile targets with a cunning smile and devastating strength. His achievements weren't handed to him due to his lineage—he earned them through relentless battles, strategic brilliance, and an indomitable will.
He had hunted infamous pirates, dismantled their crews, and left a trail of shattered ambitions in his wake, all while maintaining the façade of an unpredictable, mischievous brat.
Yet, despite his fearsome reputation, Luffy was anything but conventional. He had kept his Devil Fruit abilities a closely guarded secret, ensuring that the world saw him only as a supreme martial artist whose fists alone could rival the power of Logia users.
His reputation as a fighter, a prodigy, and an untamed force of nature sent shivers down the spines of both pirates and Marines alike.
But Luffy wasn't alone in his meteoric rise.
Not long after his promotion to Commander, Luffy had also brought Roronoa Zoro into the Marines, pushing him through the crucible of the Training Chamber.
In less than two years, Zoro's power skyrocketed. He ascended to the rank of Captain, a title few could challenge, and reached a level of strength comparable to what he would have attained in the original timeline after the Wano Arc.
Zoro had mastered all forms of Haki to absurd levels, and under Luffy's brutal training regimen, he had even strengthed his ghostly, spectral energy within his swordsmanship—an eerie, almost demonic aura that made even seasoned warriors hesitate before crossing blades with him.
He had battled all kinds of swordsmen, refusing to bow to anyone. The green-haired swordsman was no longer an upstart—he was a monster in his own right.
Both he and Kuina had even exchanged blows with Dracule Mihawk in a fateful duel that left scars both on their bodies and in their pride. Though they lost, the fact that Mihawk acknowledged their growth was proof of their terrifying potential.
But perhaps the most shocking transformation, however, belonged to Kuina.
The once-tomboyish girl had transformed into something utterly irresistible—a woman whose very presence exuded a raw, unapologetic sensuality that left men breathless. At sixteen years old, she had crossed the threshold into womanhood, her body developing with a seductive blend of elegance and raw power. She wasn't just beautiful—she was dangerous, a perfect fusion of lethal grace and pure, carnal temptation.
Her body had blossomed into a work of sinful art. Long, shapely legs stretched endlessly, toned just enough to hint at her warrior's strength while remaining soft in all the right places.
Her hips had filled out with an undeniable ripeness, the kind that swayed with a hypnotic rhythm, commanding attention with every step.
Her waist was tight, her stomach flat, a perfect contrast to the generous curves that framed it.
And then—her breasts.
Gone was the flat, boyish frame of her youth. In its place, she had grown into voluptuous perfection, full and high, pressing against whatever fabric dared to contain them. Every motion sent a tantalizing bounce, a reminder of just how irresistibly womanly she had become. She moved with a confidence that made it clear—she knew the effect she had.
But it wasn't just her body.
Her sharp blue eyes, once filled only with a warrior's fire, now smoldered with something darker—something wicked. They didn't just challenge anymore; they seduced. They dared a man to take her, to try and tame the wild, sultry creature she had become.
And when she turned that gaze onto Luffy, it was like a silent promise—a challenge wrapped in pure, dripping temptation.
But she was more than just a stunning woman. She had become one of the strongest swordsmen in the Marines, even surpassing Zoro in raw skill.
She had ascended to the rank of Rear Admiral, standing alongside Luffy as a force to be reckoned with. Her blade work had become legendary, and when she clashed with Zoro, their duels shook entire Marine fortresses, leaving spectators in awe and disbelief.
With Luffy, Zoro, and Kuina, the Marine Headquarters had birthed three rising legends—monsters whose names even echoed in the New World.
Yet, for all their power and achievements, Luffy's ambitions had never changed. He was still the same unpredictable, untamed force, laughing in the face of rules and treating the Marines like his personal playground.
His heart still belonged to the sea, to freedom, and to the thrill of battle.
And soon… the world would learn that not even the Marines could chain him down.

Luffy leaned against the rail of his warship, staring out at the vast ocean. The salty breeze ruffled his now slightly longer hair as he stretched, feeling the weight of his two years of battles settle into his muscles.
"Damn, it's been a wild ride," He muttered, a smirk tugging at his lips.
Behind him, Zoro was casually sharpening his swords, his green hair barely shifting in the wind. "You're telling me. You dragged me into this, and now I have to deal with idiots calling me 'Marine Hunter' just because I don't wear my uniform properly."
Luffy chuckled. "Well, you do look more like a pirate than a Marine."
Zoro scoffed. "And you don't? The only reason they let you do whatever you want is because your grandpa would break their skulls if they tried to stop you."
At the mention of Garp, Luffy shuddered slightly. "Tch. That old man's still a damn monster. Every time I think I've caught up, he smacks me back down like it's nothing."
A melodious laugh interrupted them. Kuina leaned against the mast, her toned yet curvy figure clad in her custom Marine coat, the wind making it billow dramatically.
"You should be grateful," She teased, crossing her arms. "If Garp wasn't around to keep you in check, you'd have wrecked half the Grand Line already."
Luffy flashed her a lazy grin. "Maybe. But then again, if I wasn't around, you and Zoro wouldn't have had the chance to cross swords with Mihawk."
