So...once again I bring snippet of the Luffy!win variety. This will never be a proper fic, it consists mostly of dialogue with bits of actual description thrown in...

That said, enjoy?

Title: The Direct Approach
Characters: Luffy, Whitebeard &hearts, Ace, Sengoku, Garp

thanks to naye for the title

The Direct Approach

“So, who do I have to smack to end this thing?”

“Everyone.”

“That’ll take too long – who gave the order for Ace to be executed?”

“The man in charge is Fleet Admiral Sengoku, he’s the one standing on the execution platform with the seagull on his head.”

“Whitebeard.”

“Yes, rude and impertinent brat?”

“I’m going to kick his ass.”

“Gurarara!! Don’t get ahead of yourself brat: he’d mop the floor with you. And when I get there I’m not waiting around for you to catch up.”

“Oh? In that case--”

Luffy disappeared.


Sengoku might have been prepared for a direct attack, could probably have parried one.

“Gomu Gomu no Hammer!”

He did not expect the execution platform to be reduced to so much kindling.


Garp and Sengoku both threw themselves out of the way when the platform collapsed, and Luffy grabbed his brother, protecting him from the falling debris and inflating his body so they both landed safely.


“What the hell were you thinking Luffy! Get out of here right now, it’s too dangerous!”

“Craaaab-chaaaaaaaan! I need you to come cut these chains!”

“Shit are you even listening to me!? You’re going to get yourself killed!”

“You’re just like the old man – I’m not going to die!”


“You taught him soru!?!”

“Bwah! Hell no, I have no idea where he picked it up, the reckless idiot.”
