Okay, to all of you guys who have been confused about the difference in Luffy's gender and how I write 'he' instead of 'she' is because this story is based on Shanks' perspective (in third person because I honestly suck at first person) and that Luffy looked so much like a boy when SHE was 7 years old (which is roughly around at the age when Shanks and Luffy met) and Luffy did not have the hormones to grow boobs yet, which is therefore the reason why Shanks mistook Luffy as a boy all this time. I felt like only Shanks and Luffy who could mistake others as the wrong gender, Shanks may not be as clueless as Luffy but he is still pretty clueless. So I hope I clear up the misunderstanding!

Rangrids: you flatter me! For Sabo, I feel like the war is enough to recover Sabo's memories. Probably from the shock of the war, or I would make it seem like Luffy died (but he did not because he will miraculously survives knowing Luffy) if I ever write a story about the war. And Sabo would remember and have a shock because of Luffy in the headlines instead of Ace. Sabo and Ace did recognize Luffy as a boy until one day they took a bath together or did something together and Ace realised that Luffy is missing something very important (family jewels) Hahaha, maybe I should write something about that one day, good idea! No no, I love it when people send me long messages! It's nice to hear their opinions and comments.

Nala1220: Nope! Ace won't die. He will survive because my poor heart won't allow him to die. Maybe the war will still happen, either BB kidnap someone from WB crew or maybe SH will be involved because BB probably kidnapped someone from SH.

Chapter 2: Punch of Revenge

Shanks felt conflicted.

The crimson haired man didn't know what to do. Unlike his fiery red hair that always depicts passion and confidence, his behaviour clearly contradicts it with that crouching position and his handsome face buried in despair by his hands.

He refused, he refused to believe such absurd information.

Maybe this was fake?

But Shanks could imagine the stupid boy he had regarded as his son do something like that. He could imagine Luffy doing something as stupid as that!

Maybe he read this wrong. Yes, maybe. The Emperor tried his hardest to reconnect with his overflowing optimism and grabbed the crumpled freshly delivered morning paper from the news coo.

He took slow deep breaths and forced a smile, reading each word of the article that made his strong Emperor hand crumple that newspaper and almost tear it apart in pieces.

The more words he came across, the more of his smile falters and the more he regretted the whole idea.

Captain of Straw Hat Pirate, Monkey D. Luffy Punched a Tenryuubito.

It was last seen that the Captain of Straw Hat Pirates were at Grove 1 Auction House. The young female captain did something unforgivable and unimaginary and now she will be regarded as a huge threat to the World Government. She was seen punching a tenryuubito to protect her friend, a mere fishman that was shot by St. Carlos.

She has punched St. Carlos, the tenryuubito.

She has disappeared after causing chaos and her crew was seen to be harming the other tenryuubito present after kidnapping a mermaid auctioned.

It was last seen that she was fighting alongside Kidd, captain of the Kidd Pirates and Trafalgar Law, Captain of the Heart Pirates.

That was it. Ruined. The stupid boy.

Shanks wanted to cry, he wanted to find that stupid rubber boy and beat him up so that his brain might finally function properly.

Shanks knew how irritable, no, how repulsive and disgusting the tenryuubitos are who had abundance of self narcissism that it even send the overconfident pirate nauseate.

But something clicked on his mind, Luffy would never have done something without a reason.

It did clearly say protect a friend in the article.

Shanks knew that Luffy would never act violently to someone without a reason. He knew the kid and he was pretty sure that person deserved a single ounce of that punch. But he dreaded Luffy's safety, he knew how dominating the tenryuubito are. He knew the consequences of touching a single strand of hair of one tenryuubito. He had watched some of his friends unwillingly getting stepped, getting their prides crumbled by a single sole from these disgusting humans who believed in their superiority and hid behind the protection of the organisation they established as people authorized enough who claimed themselves to be 'Gods'

Even as a pirate, the World Government would require the unity of the Four Emperors and other veteran pirates to overthrow.

And Shanks wasn't the one to willingly participate in such hassling event.

But knowing Luffy, he would probably continued his journey as if nothing have had happened.

Shanks sighed, a small smile lurking on his lips as his brows twitched into pure amusement.

Luffy was a D, from the generations of a strong family that was bound and referred to be 'Gods' mortal enemies'

Well, he was getting closer to his dream, he had to give him props for that. However, Luffy's shenanigans were limitless. He knew that the young captain was the magnet of trouble, but he would not have expected that the problem was much bigger than he predicted. He defeated all the big figures in East Blue, avoided death by heavenly luck in Loguetown, defeated a Warlord on his first arrival in Grand Line, declared a war on World Government, and now punching a tenryuubito?

Shanks face palmed, he wondered who his real parents were, they must have been crazy and Luffy probably inherited their genes. Considering that Garp was his grandfather, Shanks was not surprised. He shivered at the thought, he remembered when the marine hero visited Fuschia Village one time when the group of pirates resting, the man nearly flipped the whole island when his eyes laid on both Shanks and Luffy conversing animatedly about Shanks adventures and Luffy's overly loud exclamation about his aspiration to be a fellow pirate.

The crimson haired pirate sighed, there was nothing to do with it after all. Luffy had his own adventures and Shanks promised himself at the second after they set sail from that tiny warm island that he would not interfere with Luffy's affairs except when things get too out of control.

But this was borderline.

"Let it go, boss. You know how crazy the kid is. We've spent time with him for a year. We knew that he was going to be famous and a force to be reckoned with throughout the whole world" Lucky assured, aggressively ripping a bite of his chicken drumstick with his teeth.

Shanks nodded, he knew what the kid was like, he was unpredictable, too unpredictable. Even after a year, he didn't know what the kid was thinking. He was too spontaneous, sometimes too mature, sometimes showed the convictions and raw talent that will surely develop into something great in the future.

Shanks sighed, he put the papers down and gave himself a calming rub on his forehead. He needed some rest from the surprised he received this morning. Luffy was definitely still too much for him. At least the father figure knew how his son figure was doing in that merciless sea of Grand Line.

"LET'S CELEBRATE LUFFY'S WHIMS!"

But it didn't stop the easygoing Emperor to use the young pirate's shenanigan as an excuse to party.

So, this is the end of the story. I know I am starting to write chaptered story and this is technically chaptered story (2 pathetic chapters) but I'm progressing! I hope you like this and don't forget to leave a review! I will be off writing a next fic then. See you next time :)
