Chapter 3
~Shanks, Doflamingo, Smoker, and Crocodile~
It was Friday in the morning and all the students were in their classes except for some teachers. Shanks, Doflamingo, Smoker, and Crocodile were all in the teachers lounge, relaxing or eating breakfast. Smoker was sitting down and smoking a cigarette. He was wearing a white shirt and blue pants. Across from him was Doflamingo. He was sitting down but he had his feet on the table. He wore black pants, a white long shirt with a pink tie and of course he had his fluffy pink coat on. Crocodile was sitting down a few chairs away from Smoker and was reading a book. He had black pants, a white long sleeve, a blue tie, and a black vest over it. Shanks was at the vending machine getting some cookies. Shanks was just wearing something simple, a black shirt and blue pants.
"Ahh, isn't it nice when were away from the kids for a while?" Shanks asked them. He opened the bag of cookies and ate one.
"Why are we here? Class started 10 minutes ago." Smoker said. He took out his cigarette out of his mouth.
"I just wanted to talk to you guys, you guys are always busy we hardly hang out." Shanks said with a pout.
"Were not kids anymore." Crocodile said. He closed his book and stood up "I'm leaving." He bluntly said.
"Haha, well I'm leaving as well." Doflamingo laughed a bit "My students might do something to my classroom, especially if Luffy is there."
"That kid is crazy." Smoker commented. After that he opened the door and left the lounge. Shanks smiled a bit.
"Oh! Luffy's one of your students?" Shanks asked with excitement. Doflamingo nodded a bit.
"Who's this Luffy kid?" Crocodile asked.
"Luffy is an active kid...a bit crazy sometimes." Shanks laughed "I used to hang out with him when I was 21 or something...I haven't seen him for a long time." Shanks closed his eyes a bit and remembered some good times with Luffy.
"You used hang out with a little kid?" Doflamingo laughed. Crocodile sighed and past by Doflamingo, when he passed by he pulled Doflamingo's chair down.
"Uh?!" Doflamingo exclaimed. Bam! Doflamingo fell on the floor. His back was on the floor with the chair. "Damn you Crocodile!" Doflamingo frowned. Crocodile just left the room without saying anything.
"Hahaha!" Shanks couldn't stop laughing. Doflamingo stood up, still frowning. He stretched a bit and rubbed his back.
"Ah! My back hurts now!" Doflamingo complained. He then got his coat and put in on his shoulders. Without saying a word Doflamingo left.
"Uh?" Shanks chuckled a bit "Wait! I wanna go with you." Shanks said and went after Doflamingo.
Shanks and Doflamingo were walking down the school's hallway. Some classes were in sessions. When they took a turn they saw Crocodile walking down the hallway.
"Hey Crocodile! Get over here!" Doflamingo yelled out. He was really mad. Crocodile just looked at him with boredom. "My back hurts because of you!" Doflamingo yelled at him and pointed at him.
"How is it my fault? Maybe your just too old now and your blaming me that your back hurts." Crocodile smirked.
"What? I am not old!" Doflamingo exclaimed.
"Calm down you guys." Shanks calmly said "Your going to interrupt the other classes. Just get to your classes already." Doflamingo and Crocodile didn't say a word. They kept on walking with Shanks in silence. After passing a few classes they have arrived but something happened. Doflamingo's door was knocked down.
"Hm?" The three of the teachers asked themselves.
It was Luffy, Law, Kid, and Drake. They were all fighting each other. " Let's go!" Luffy exclaimed. He had his fist up ready to fight them more. The four of them kept on fighting without noticing Shanks, Doflamingo and Crocodile.
"HEY!what's happening!" Shanks exclaimed. But yet none of them paid attention to him. They kept on fighting and yelling.
"It seems they haven't noticed us..." Doflaimngo said a bit annoyed. Then Crocodile's door room opened.
"Uh? A fight?" Zoro came out of Crocodile's classroom.
"Hey Zoro!" Luffy shouted while he was still fighting.
"Eh? need help Luffy?" Zoro asked. Before Luffy could of said anything Zoro just joined in the fight.
"Idiot! Don't just join a fight whenever you want to!" Sanji yelled out of the classroom "These idiots... " Before he could of said something else Luffy punched him by accident.
"Damn you guys!" Sanji exclaimed. He then joined the fight.
"Zoro, Sanji! Stop fighting!" Nami yelled. She had her arms crossed in front of her chest. Shanks, Doflamingo, and Crocodile were all annoyed and mad.
"YOU IDIOTS!" Crocodile yelled. They all heard him and stopped fighting.
"What the hell is going on here?" Shanks asked. Luffy, Law, Kid, Drake, Zoro, and Sanji were a bit beaten up by each other. They had scratches, and some bruises on their faces or arms. Their uniforms were also messed up.
"You guys are all having detention today." Shanks said.
"Detention? That's it?" Doflamingo asked a bit disappointed "I think they deserve more punishment." Doflamingo chuckled.
"Damn, these kids." Crocodile said "Do whatever you want with these kids... I'm going to teach my students with the time I have left." Crocodile left Shanks and Doflamingo and entered his classroom.
"You guys will have detention after school and after that you will fix Doflamingo's door." Shanks said. He looked mad "If you don't come to detention I will suspend you. You got that?!"
"Yes..." They all said.
"Good. Now go back to class." Shanks said. He turned around and walked away. Zoro and Sanji didn't say a word and walked into Crcodile's room. Law, Kid, Luffy and Drake were about to enter class but they couldn't since they all tried to get in at the same time. All four of them were pushing each other in the doorway.
"Let me go in first!" Kid exclaimed. He kept pushing Luffy and Drake.
"No, I'm going in first." Luffy said. He was struggling to get out. "Luffy, stop pushing against me..." Law said. He then pushed Luffy back. Doflamingo just watched them from the other side. These idiots. He thought. Then Doflamingo kicked them all in the back. Each one of them fell into the classroom.
"Alright! Go sit down before I make you guys get a week of detention!" Doflamingo yelled. He stood in front of his desk and waited for them to sit in their seats. Each one of them stood up and quietly walked towards their seats.
"Doffy's mean." Luffy whispered to himself.
Doflamingo looked at his watch. Class ends in a minute. He looked around the classroom and didn't say a word. I wonder why they were fighting Doflamingo thought when he looked at Law, Kid, Luffy and Drake.
The bell rang after the minute was over. All the students got up from their seats and left the classroom quietly.
~Break~
Luffy, Law, Kid and Bonnie were walking down the hall together. They were all mad (except for Bonnie.) Bonnie was eating a sandwich and looked at them in disappointment. "I told you guys, shouldn't have fought." Bonnie said.
"It wasn't my fault." Kid said.
"Luffy started it." Law casually said.
"What? My fault?" Luffy asked them a bit upset "Drake started it. He wouldn't apologize."
"Yeah... but he's like that. He's not going to apologize." Bonnie said. She took one last bite of her sandwich.
"I'm still mad at that guy!" Luffy said with a frown. As they left the building they saw Zoro, Sanji, Killer, Nami, Franky,Robin and Usopp outside right in front of the building. Nami, Zoro and Robin were sitting down on a bench while Sanji, Franky, Killer and Usopp were standing and talking to them.
"Hey Nami, Robin!" Bonnie shouted while she ran and waved at them.
"Hey Bonnie! Your finally out of class!' Nami said with a smile and waved back at her. Luffy, Law, and Kid walked up to them and didn't say a word.
"Oui! Luffy, I heard you got detention today." Franky said.
"Good luck with Crocodile. He usually stays with the detention kids in his class." Robin said. "I heard he's really scary and strict on them."
"Hmph. Crocodile isn't scary at all." Zoro said.
"I think he's a bit scary sometimes, but if you get on his good side he isn't scary at all." Nami commented.
"Kid, are you going to detention or are you going to skip it?" Killer asked.
"I was planning to skip it but I don't wanna get suspended." Kid said.
"I rather get suspended than be with Crocodile in his class." Usopp said while he was shaking a bit "He probably does something to the detention kids..."
"How long does detention take?" Law asked.
"Its only one hour." Robin replied.
"An hour!" Luffy exclaimed "I'm probably going to starve in there!" Luffy whined.
"Its only an hour. You'll survive." Sanji chuckled a bit.
As they kept on talking Shanks came along in their group. "Hey Luffy, come to my office for a second okay?" Shanks said with a smile. He walked past them and left out of their sight.
" I wonder what he wants with you." Kid said to Luffy. Luffy just shrugged; not knowing either.
"I guess I got to go now." Luffy sighed. He started to walk away from his friends.
"Later Luffy!" Zoro said.
"We'll see you during gym or Lunch ok?" Nami said as she waved goodbye at him. Luffy just walked towards Shanks' office and thought why he wanted to see him.
"I haven't seen Shanks for a while..." Luffy said to himself "Maybe he misses me and wants to hang out" Luffy smiled a bit.
~Flashback when Luffy was 5 and Shanks was 21~
"So, Luffy how was your first day of kindergarten? " Luffy's grandpa Garp asked. Garp was big and buff, he was wearing a suit. Garp was holding Luffy's hand as they were walking to a specific place.
"It was a lot of fun!" Little Luffy exclaimed with a smile. He was wearing the school's uniform which was blue shorts and a white t-shirt (Like a sailor suit). "I made a lot of new friends!"
"Really?" Garp asked "What are their names?"
"Well there's Zoro. He's really tough and is really cool. Then there's Sanji. He is also cool and he brought us food from his home. It was delicious! Also there was this shy kid. His name was Usopp. He had a long nose and lies sometimes but he's really nice." Luffy grinned "Hmm... there's a kid named Law but he doesn't talk much...but I think he's really nice. Lastly, its Nami. She's REALLY smart and nice but sometimes scary, haha!" Luffy enthusiasm said.
"I see. So you made a lot of friends. That's good." Garp nodded and smiled at Luffy.
"Yup!" Luffy cheerfully he said. After walking a while Luffy got tired "Hey gramps, where are we going?" Luffy asked.
"Well since it was your first day of school and you didn't get in trouble I'm taking you to an ice cream parlor." Garp said "Its one of the best ones in town."
Luffy's eyes shined "What? really?!" Luffy asked happily. Garp laughed and nodded.
"Awesome! Thanks Ojīchan!" Luffy hugged Garp.
"Haha alright now... were here!" Garp said. Luffy looked at the ice cream parlor. The ice cream parlor was pretty big the sign was colorful. Welcome to Sweet Cream the sign said. Luffy ran into the ice cream parlor in excitement.
"Hurry up, Ojīchan!" Luffy exclaimed as he ran inside the parlor.
"Alright, I'm coming." Garp simply said. When Garp entered the ice cream parlor Luffy was looking around the place. Inside the place it had lots of ice cream flavors, the tables were made out of chalk so anyone could write in it.
"Wow! This place is cool!" Luffy happily said.
"I knew you would like it." Garp chuckled. Then a man came out from the back counter. He was around his 20's and had red hair. On his back he had a straw hat.
"Hey! How can I help you with?" The man asked.
"Luffy, what kind of ice cream would you want?" Garp asked. Luffy just stared at all the ice cream flavors. "Hmmm... I want them all!" Luffy smiled.
"Hahaha, sorry Luffy but you could only have one or two scoops." Garp laughed a bit.
Luffy frowned a bit. "Your mean..." Luffy said with a pout.
"Hmmm... I'll just have strawberry." Garp ordered. The red hair man got a simple cone and one scoop of strawberry.
"Here you go sir." He said as he handed Garp his ice cream.
"Luffy hurry up. I got to go to work soon." Garp said. He then licked his ice cream.
"But Ojīchan I don't know what to get!" Luffy said in frustration.
"Hey kid, try the vanilla flavor or the chocolate one. Those two are my favorite." The man said. Luffy just looked at the man and nodded a bit.
"Okay."
The man got a cone and served Luffy a chocolate scoop and a vanilla scoop. "Here you go." Luffy grabbed the cone and licked his ice cream.
"Its delicious!" Luffy smiled.
"That'll be $100" He said.
"WHAT?... I don't have that kind of money..." Luffy looked sad "I'm sorry... you can have it back even though I licked it..." Luffy started to cry a bit.
"Uh? No its okay! I was just joking." He said with a small laugh. After he said that Luffy just smiled and kept licking his ice cream.
"Okay it'll be $2.00" The man said.
"Hey Ojīchan pay him." Luffy said. He looked back and noticed Garp was gone.
"Uh?!" Luffy yelled out "Gramps, where are you?!" Luffy looked for Garp in the shop.
"Kid, how are you gonna pay me?"
Luffy looked at the man and sat down in a seat "I'll wait for gramps to come." Luffy simply said. The man sighed and started to broom around the place. "Old man, how do you make the ice cream taste so good?" Luffy asked.
"Old man? I'm 21 years old! Just call me Shanks." He said.
"Shanks? Okay... my name is Luffy!" Luffy said "so how do you make the ice cream taste so good?"
"Well you see..." Shanks said as he sat down across the table where Luffy was sitting "We have a secret ingredient."
"A secret ingredient? What is it?"
"I can't tell you." Shanks simply said.
"Awww, why not?" Luffy whined.
"Cause your just a kid."
"I'm not a kid! I'm 5 years old!" Luffy said as he held five fingers to Shanks. Shanks just bluntly looked at him. Then he looked at his watch "When is your grandpa going to pick you up?" Shanks asked.
"I don't know." Luffy shrugged. Shanks sighed and looked at Luffy.
"I guess I have to take you home." Shanks said. He put the broom away in the supply closet and closed the ice cream parlor.
"Okay, where do you live?" Shanks asked.
"Hmmm... that way." Luffy pointed at a specific place "I live in a apartment with my grandpa."
Shanks nodded a bit and walked where Luffy told him to. As they walked together they bonded a bit.
"If your an adult why are you working in a ice cream parlor?" Luffy asked "Why aren't you something cool like... a police officer or a firemen!"
Shanks looked at Luffy,he had some chocolate stains on his shirt. "I'm working there as a part time job. I need money for food and my rent you know. I'm still a university student. This is my last year studying though. I'm going to be a highschool teacher or maybe the principal of a high school. " Shanks said with a smile.
"Really? Well when I get older I wanna be a pirate or a professor like my gramps." Luffy said.
"A pirate? Haha you have a weird imagination Luffy." Shanks laughed.
"Oh. I live here." Luffy stopped walking and pointed at a big apartment. Then Garp came out of the door.
"Luffy! I was looking all over for you!" Garp exclaimed.
"Gramps, you forgot about me!" Luffy yelled out.
"Haha i did? Sorry but worked called me in today." Garp said. He then noticed Shanks. "Thanks for bringing my grandson home."
"It was nothing." Shanks said "It was a bit fun. Well, I got to go now. Bye Luffy!" Shanks waved at him goodbye.
"Bye Shanks!" Luffy yelled and kept waving at him since he was out of his sight.
"Oh, you made another new friend Luffy?" Garp asked. He carried Luffy as they entered the apartment.
"Yup! Shanks is really cool!" Luffy said.
Since that day Luffy would visit shanks almost everyday. He then took Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Law and Usopp to the ice cream parlor to meet Shanks and to taste the delicious ice cream. But after a few months later Shanks had to leave.
"Shanks your not going to work here anymore?" Luffy asked. Shanks shook his head.
"Sorry, Luffy. I just graduated from school and I finally got a job in the next town over." Shanks said. Both of them were at the parlor eating ice cream in the same table they usually sat. "I'll be really busy now."
Luffy started to cry a bit "I'm... I'm gonna miss you!"
"Don't cry Luffy." Shanks said with a small smile. He then grabbed a chalk "Here. You can write anything you want here and when your all grown up we'll come and have ice cream again. Ok?"
Luffy nodded slowly and took the chalk from Shanks. He started to write on the table.
"Okay I finished..."Luffy said. Shanks looked at what he wrote and smiled.
"Haha, let's go already. I'm taking you home." Shanks stood up and waited for Luffy. Luffy followed him out of the ice cream Parlor.
"Shanks, can I hold you hand?" Luffy asked. Shanks looked at Luffy and smiled "Sure."
Luffy grinned and hold Shanks' hand. When Shanks dropped off Luffy, Luffy was about to go inside but Shanks stopped him.
"HEY! Luffy!" Shanks yelled out. "Here." Shanks took off his straw hat and put it on Luffy's head. Luffy started to cry.
"You can keep it okay Luffy? Return it to me when your successful ok." Shanks said and patted him on the head. "Bye Luffy!" Shanks exclaimed as he waved good bye at Luffy. Luffy stood in front of his apartment crying a bit but then he wiped his tears away.
"BYE SHANKS!" Luffy yelled and waved at him. Luffy smiled and ran off into his apartment.
~End of flashback!
Luffy entered Shanks' office. Shanks was sitting in his chair and was watching TV on his desk.
"Hey Shanks!" Luffy greeted hello to him. Shanks saw Luffy and turned off his TV.
"Luffy! You've grown quite a bit since the last time I saw you." Shanks said with a smile.
"Yup. Its been 10 or 11 years since I've seen you." Luffy said "I thought you were a teacher in another school.?"
"I was for 3 years but then they offered me to be principal here so I came back." Shanks said.
"Really?"
Shanks nodded "I seen you still have my hat and you've made a lot of friends over the past few years."
Luffy just smiled.
"But I have to say Luffy... I can't believe your getting detention on your first week of school." Shanks said in disappointment.
"I know...its just that it wasn't my fault." Luffy complained.
"Oh, really?"
"My friend... Drake stepped on my hat." Luffy said a bit upset "And he wouldn't apologize."
"That's why you guys were fighting?" Shanks asked. Luffy nodded.
"I see..." Shanks started saying "But is that a reason to start a fight with a friend?" Shanks asked Luffy seriously.
"Of course! HE didn't want to apologize for stepping on my precious hat!"
"He stepped on your hat uh? OKay... why was your hat on the floor in the first place?"
"You see... I was talking to Kid and Law and I said 'Kid you should pay for my lunch today.'Kid just shook his head and hit the back of my head. He he hit me my hat fell off. That's when Drake stepped on it. I told him to apologize but he said 'Why should I? It was your fault your hat was on the floor.' " Luffy explained "I got mad and punched him."
"So he stepped on it by accident."
"Even though it was an accident, he should of apologized."
"How did Kid and Law get into the fight?"
"Oh, I kicked Law on accident and Drake stepped on Kid. They both got mad and joined the fight." Luffy laughed a bit.
"Seriously Luffy..." Shanks sighed "You have to be more mature now... You can't just start fights with your family."
"Family?" Luffy asked dumbfounded.
Then Shanks said something to Luffy that made him think about it. (I'm not writing what Shanks said until the next chapter)
~After school~
Luffy,Law, Kid, Drake, Sanji and Zorro were all in Crcocodile's classroom for an hour of detention. They were all sitting together in a group in the middle of the classroom. Luffy, Kid, Drake were sitting horizontal in the same row. Law sat in front of Luffy, Zoro sat in front of Kid and Sanji sat in front of Drake. Crocodile was sitting in his seat reading a book.
"I wanna go to the zoo!" Luffy whined.
"The zoo?" Kid asked "Your a bit too old to go to the zoo."
"Kid's right your not 8 years old anymore." Drake said.
"~I wanna go to the zoo! Let's go to the zoo!" Luffy whined some more "Tra-guy you think we should go to the zoo?"
Law didn't face Luffy "No. Were not kids anymore...Go by yourself."
Luffy pouted but then smirked a bit. He grabbed Law's hat.
"What?" Law asked and turned around to Luffy "What are you doing? Give me my hat back."
"I will...IF you go to the zoo with me." Luffy smiled. Law sighed Is he serious?! He thought.
"Luffy, why do you want to go to the zoo anyways?" Sanji asked.
"Cause I think we should hang out somewhere fun tomorrow." Luffy said as he put on Law's hat on his head.
"I agree with you but why the zoo?" Zoro asked him.
"Cause the zoo is fun!" Luffy exclaimed happily. He then took out his phone and started texting some people. After a few minutes or so Luffy got a replied and smiled.
"Okay, Its decided were going to the zoo tomorrow!" Luffy stood up from his seat and chuckled.
"Uh?" Zoro, Law, Sanji, and Kid asked at the same time.
"Nami, Bonnie, Usopp, Franky, and Robin agreed to go to the zoo with us." Luffy said.
"But we didn't agree to go yet!"' Kid said in annoyance.
"Fine." Zoro said "It'll probably be fun. I don't have anything to do anyways."
Sanji took out a lollipop from his pocket and opened the wrapper "I guess I'll go too if it'll make you happy Luffy." Sanji said and put the lollipop in his mouth.
"I guess I have to go If I want my hat back..." Law said in defeat. Luffy smiled and looked at Kid and Drake.
"Well?" Luffy asked them in excitement.
"No." Drake simply said.
"Sure..." Kid said with a shrug.
"AWESOME!" Luffy yelled in excitement "Were all going to the zoo tomorrow!"
Crocodile stared at Luffy in confusion. what's wrong with that kid?Crocodile asked himself.
~An hour later~
Kid,Law, Sanji, and Zoro left first than Drake and Luffy.
"Bye Croco!" Luffy said with a laugh.
"WHAT? Croco?" Crocodile asked him. Luffy just waved goodbye at him and laughed.
"Hey, Luffy!" Drake said after he left Crocodile's classroom.
"Hm?" Luffy turned around and faced Drake.
"...I'm sorry." Drake said and walked past Luffy. Luffy tilt his head a bit and smiled. He ran up to Drake and patted him on his back.
"Its okay." Luffy accepted his apology. "I bet you'll have fun with us at the zoo tomorrow!" Luffy said.
"I'm not going to the zoo." Drake bluntly said.
"Aww come on, please?"
"No."
"hmmm... okay I guess I'll have to drag you there." Luffy laughed. Drake didn't say anything and he arrived to his dorm.
"I'll see you tomorrow Drake!" Luffy waved goodbye at him. Then Luffy went inside his own dorm.
End of the chapter. So I've been thinking should Sabo be alive in this story? I can't decide whether or not he should be in the story. Tell me in your reviews or PM me. Please review !
