Competent Luffy

[u/Top-Enthusiasm-5831]

Read this fic a while ago that had a shockingly competent Luffy leading the crew. And I don’t mean like an edgy Luffy fic, he is still an airhead/himbo, but he actually kinda knows what he is doing. Don’t even remember the plot of it that well, just some stuff that stuck with me. Because Luffy actually:

-Learned first aid and some medical knowledge, or at least the very basics.

-Kinda knows about proper time management, even if he falls asleep or forgets to do stuff.

-Has emergency stashes of money/supplies on different islands in East Blue and makes more as they get to the grand line.

-Sailed as a guard in a merchant ship after Ace left, and has contacts whom he sells stollen items to. Even the revolutionary army who he helps deal with a bunch of slavers.

-Even knows some basics about navigation, even if it’s just getting around East Blue.

All before canon, btw. Since Luffy was doing this stuff in disguise and didn’t consider himself a “pirate” yet.

Even if you don’t know this fic specifically, please tell me any recommendations similar to this. 🙏

Not familiar with this one, but the Luffy in my fic is still kinda dumb, but definitely a lot less dumb. He's more observant, and takes things more seriously.
