One Piece – I Am A Different Luffy!

Chapter 50 – Mysterious Island 4.

[Chapter Size: 1954 Words.]

Third Person POV
On island in the sea, East Blue.

...

...

"OWOWOWOWOW!"
"OWOWOWOW?"
"OW!"
"owowow....."
"OWOWOWOWOWOW?!"

All the natives panicked, halting the execution of prisoners and waiting for the dust to settle, scanning for enemies nearby or within the explosion. Suddenly, as the dust clouds cleared, a man was seen amidst the wreckage and some bodies of the cannibal tribe warriors. While Kuina and the others seemed relieved after identifying him, the natives felt a chill run down their spines as Luffy appeared with furious eyes. Since coming to this world, he had never been as angry as he was now.

"LUFFY!" The trio, on the verge of falling into the boiling cauldron in a trance pushed by the cannibals, shouted upon realizing that Luffy caused the explosion.

"Luffy..." Kuina couldn't help but murmur again, now looking at the expression of fury on the man with the straw hat's face, a sight she had never seen before, and even she felt a fear in her heart.

"OWOWOWOW!" One of the men from the tribe, the one who seemed to be the leader, suddenly brandished his spear at Luffy. Despite the gleam of fear in his eyes, he was still ready to face the man who fell from the sky.

"OW!"
"OWOW!"
"OW."
More and more members of the cannibal tribe assumed combat positions against Luffy, who continued to stare at them with the same furious expression, unaffected by being surrounded.

"You don't seem to speak my language... Anyway, you've captured my comrades and were about to kill them, so don't expect any mercy from me. For me, someone who eats their own kind is the kind of being that has fallen among the lowest in this world. Cannibals and hypocrites are the types I don't care whether they live or die..." Luffy muttered.

Luffy always despised these kinds of people. Of course, the hatred for hypocrites is not for those who tell you to work while they are lazy but for those like Morgan, Rat, Akainu, and the Celestial Dragons who commit crimes behind a banner of justice or think they are born with some entitlement.

[Moa Moa no mi: Gravity, apply 0.001 times.]

Some rocks began to levitate from the ground and continued to rise around Luffy without him making any movements. When they reached a certain height, Luffy raised his hand and flicked the small stones.

As he was already using the power of gravity, he couldn't increase the speed of the stone, but his body was powerful enough to execute his plan. The stone thrown with the snap of his fingers flew toward the cannibal leader, who was running towards him with a spear, hoping to kill Luffy.

It wasn't as powerful as what he did with Krieg using that coin, but it hit the head of the cannibal, piercing through without reaching the other side before he could react.

"OW!"
"..."

Their leader fell dead in the next moment, under the gaze of everyone. Seeing this scene, the cannibals were immediately shocked, wondering how the rocks around this man were flying and how he killed the other in the next moment just by raising his hand, as they couldn't see the stone being thrown.

They seemed to be facing a figure they usually venerated, wondering how a god appeared here and was apparently unleashing his wrath on them.

"OWOWOW!"
"OWOW?"

"OWOWOWOW!"
Luffy didn't let go of his fury; he began flicking more stones flying around him, aiming them at the tribe. First, he hit all the men near Kuina, Jhonny, and Yosaku, keeping them away from any possible danger. The crowd that had been thrown by Luffy before was in a panic, seeking shelter, while more members of their tribe fell.

"OWOWOWOW!!!" All the members of the cannibal tribe panicked at this moment. The elderly and women hid in their tents with the children, while the men continued with their spears pointed at them, at least those who were left because Luffy had already killed more than 20 members by now.

"You don't seem so brave anymore, do you, cannibals?" Luffy asked with indifference, not expecting any response from those who remained as he saw fear in their eyes. They all trembled in fear of Luffy, who started walking, and the stones fell to the ground after he canceled his power. He declared that he wanted to settle this personally in hand-to-hand combat now.

"Don't worry; I'll kill all of you..." Luffy said indifferently, walking toward the remaining members, who began stumbling backward. Luffy didn't care about their fear; he didn't care if he was a monster to them. All he wanted was to unleash his anger for almost losing his friends.

"Luffy..." A hand suddenly stopped on Luffy's shoulder, making him halt at that moment. It was Yamato, who had just arrived but immediately learned about the entire situation. Luffy stopped because Yamato had a worried tone in her voice.

"Luffy, stop... There's no need to do this anymore; our friends are already safe..." Yamato said, looking nervous and concerned.

"They were going to kill them. Why should I spare them?" Luffy growled.

"Luffy, I know this isn't you. You've already saved our friends; there's no need to shed more blood. They might deserve it, but you are better than that..." Yamato said, squeezing Luffy's shoulder.

"..."

"Luffy, you're the man I chose to follow. I don't want you to lose yourself and become a beast that only knows how to kill and kill..." Yamato said, thinking of her father at that moment, the man who never fit that role, being that kind of beast that easily killed anyone for anything. Yamato didn't want Luffy to become like that bastard.

*Sigh*

"I guess you're right..." Luffy sighed.

Luffy looked at the remaining members of the tribe and then turned his gaze to his friends, who were freeing themselves from this situation as they moved away from that platform.

"I think we better go..." Luffy murmured and turned with the others following him out of the tribe. No other cannibal approached them; the fear of seeing half of their tribe dead was too impactful for them to attempt anything more.

Luffy looked at Kuina and the others approaching and decided to leave before anger got the better of him again, leading to a massacre.

"Sorry for this... I wasn't at my best..." Luffy spoke calmly as they distanced themselves. He could see the fear in their eyes; it wasn't what he wanted to portray as a captain. He always wanted his crew to have nothing but confidence in him.

"I understand, Brother Luffy... I would have been extremely angry in your place too..." Jhonny said, trying to break the horrible mood.

"I..." Luffy was about to change the subject but was interrupted by a new sound, which he welcomed as it would also change the atmosphere.

"We found you!" Nami shouted from a considerable distance. They were running toward the group as fast as they could.

"Are you okay?! The vivre card indicated that you were going to die!" Shirahoshi couldn't help but worry.

"We are. If Luffy hadn't arrived in time, I'm sure we would be getting cooked..." Yosaku said regretfully.

"I still wonder how you guys managed to get lost..." Zoro mocked.

*Pah!*
*Pah!*
Zoro took two punches without being able to react and was on the ground in the next moment with purple eyes.

"HOW DARE YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!" Kuina and Nami shouted angrily at the swordsman.

'I can't say I'm satisfied that Zoro distanced himself from them, but there's not much to say. Zoro will always be like that; I just have to be more careful, placing someone more reliable among the weaker ones...' Luffy thought, not wanting to have this kind of situation in the future.

"Anyway, let's keep going. I doubt that tribe will come near us again, but we need to find the entrance to the key. Did anyone succeed in their search?" Luffy asked everyone.

Almost everyone shook their heads.

"Nothing..."
"Just animals, cannibals, and trees..."

Almost everyone agreed with that, but Zoro suddenly spoke, surprising everyone.

"Could this place be an ancient ruin?" Zoro asked calmly.

"What?! You found it? You!?" Nami exclaimed incredulously.

"I don't know. I was looking for Kuina and the others when I found a strange pillar with a door behind it. On the pillar, there was a hole in the stone in the shape of a triangle..." Zoro said, making Luffy open his eyes pleasantly as it was the shape of the key in his hands.

"Good job, Zoro! Can you tell me where you found this place?" Luffy asked.

"Are you sure he's reliable?" Reiju asked suspiciously, as this guy was quite clueless when it came to directions.

"Hmmmmmm... I believe it's that way!" Zoro ignored Reiju and thought, giving as an answer, pointing his finger in a direction in the forest.

"Great, everyone go the opposite way of where Zoro pointed!" Luffy announced, making Zoro bewildered with this again.

"HEY HEY!" He said, but no one paid much attention, now that they were following Luffy in that direction he began to walk.

It didn't take long, after clearing some paths through the dense forest and defeating some giant animals; they reached the pillar and the door described by Zoro.

"So, these are the ruins?" Kuina asked.

"It seems so... Here, Luffy! The key should fit here." Nami signaled to Luffy, who arrived next to her, looking at the entrance of the pillar. However, the captain approached the gate, wanting to study it before putting the key.

"This is made of strange material..." Luffy muttered. He went to the door and tried to punch it.

*BOOM!*

[Moa Moa no mi: Strength, apply 30 times.]
*BOOOOOOOOOM!*
The explosion from the punch startled the people around, but Luffy was surprised that it didn't even scratch the structure.

"Yamato, try striking here too!" Luffy said, and Yamato approached.

Her weapon turned black with Haki, and she delivered a blow.

*BOOOOOOOOOM!*
Using a significant portion of her strength, not even a scratch appeared on the surface where her weapon hit.

"Incredible..." She murmured.

"As I thought, this must be as indestructible as the Poneglyphs..." Luffy said in admiration.

Luffy decided to go to the pillar.

"Let's see what happens when I put this in..." Luffy said, placing the triangular-shaped key into the spot on the stone, sinking it immediately.

With a snapping sound, a small light appeared from the key, tracing a line across the pillar.

*Crack!*
A lock sound came from the door, and it began to move slowly, but with a sound indicating how heavy they were as they opened.

"Finally, treasures!" Nami shouted as they began to walk toward the entrance, which opened before them.

Author's note:
* They began to see Luffy as a god, which I find normal when a primitive people see someone with extraordinary abilities. In Skypiea, societies were much more advanced than these cannibals and considered Enel a god, so I find it fair for them to have this thought.
* Someone might say that when Yamato stopped Luffy, it may seem nonsensical when she has already seen him kill many people. However, Luffy was about to massacre a defenseless tribe since they couldn't do anything to him. Yamato didn't want Luffy to become like her father, so she stopped him. Kuina also felt a bit of fear because she had never seen Luffy kill with those indifferent eyes and in large quantities without caring about his victims.
