"Push! And kick your legs!"
"How can I kick my legs in the water? I-I'm drowning!"
"Kick, Lu! Kick!"
"HOW?!"
"YOU KNOW HOW!"
Liam sigh in frustration as he watch Luffy has been drowning again for god-know-how-many-time-he-have-drown-himself. Liam swim toward Luffy before pull the drowning boy and swim away to the beach. Liam give a loud sigh as he lie down beside Luffy.
"Lets try again! I'll kick the waters for sure!" Yelled Luffy as he get up and run straight to the sea. But Liam grab his shoulder before the hyper boy run.
"The training is enough, Lu. We will continued it tomorrow." Said Liam.
"Ehh? Don't want to! I'm pretty sure I can swin right now! I'll kick the water!" Said Luffy.
"No, its final. Tomorrow we will be training swimming again. Its already noon and it's mean for your next training, reading." At that word Liam can saw Luffy being less excited, which making Liam confuse, "Why, Lu? Don't you want to read?"
"Yeah, but then Liam won't want to read a story book for me ever again when I can read." Said Luffy as he huffed and put his hand on his hips, "I don't want to learn reading!"
"Don't be stupid. Even you can already read, I won't let you read your own bed time story. It's mine to read it for you." Said Liam as he sigh, "Beside, reading is your birthday wish, so you have to be able to master reading, or I will fail as big brother." Said Liam once again as he pat Luffy's black hair.
"Fine." It is true to be told. Luffy has make three wish that he hope to be coming true on his birthday which is Five May on Children Days, eight days ago. He wish to be able to swim casue he want to swim in the ocean to reach another land to run away from his gramps fist, then to read because he want to know what make Liam so happy when he read a book, he always laugh hard when he read, and last wish is never been speak out ever again, and Luffy just doesn't know why. He jusy want to always be able to fart as many as he can because the sound just so funny, but he get a punch on the head because of it.
What grudge does Liam has with fart? Luffy will never know. So he still doesn't have his third wish, yet. Maybe he can asked for Liam to teach him how to poop while standing. Or he can just asked now.
"I know that look. I won't teach you with anything that have to do with fart nor poop." Said Liam as he shudder at the thought. Nope, he not thinking about teaching someone how to always fart or poop and being famous because Luffy will said 'It's cool right, Liam teached me!'. Nope, he doesn't want it to happen. Its human nature. So Liam spin toward the village direction and went away to Party Bar.
"Liam! Wait!" Luffy run beside him as the two continued to walk towards their home.
Once they arrive, Makino has wait for them while smiling happily. His mother always greet them with smile, but this is the most biggest smile Liam has see since he make his mother proud. Which is on Luffy birthday.
"Welcome home, Liam, Luffy." Said Makino.
"Makino, I can stable my self in the water for three second when I kick the waters!" Yelled Luffy.
"Really? That's good then." Said Makino.
"Mom, did something happen? You seem so happy." Said Liam.
At his question, Makino just smile happily, "Theres nothing really important."
Liam froze at the answer. No, he hope the worst isn't come yet. He know to well about her mother action right now, he is a girl once in his past life. His mother are smiling and giggling like a lovesturck high school girl. God, no. He doesn't want his mother to fall in love with another man. He doesn't want to have half-blood Liam Junior. Its sound so creepy, even if she already become Liam junior himself. Also even if he pretend to hate his father, Liam love him, how cannot he, his father maybe not the Pirate King, but being the son of The Greatest Awesome Idiot Powerfully Stupid Drinking soon to be Yonko Shanks has it own pleasure and proud.
"Mama has make lunch for you two. Mama will be out for buy food."
"FOOD" Scream Luffy as he run inside.
"Wait, Lu!" He really curious about the smile, but he also cannot asked because if he do that Luffy will be alone, and he will ate first, then he will leave no food for Liam. So Liam chase his idiotic adopt brother to the dinning room.
Unnoticed by them, on Makino palm theres a small letter that being the culprit to why she smile happily. She then walking toward the outside and breath the freah air of the village, "I better prepare as many food as I can for the next Eleventh days."
ooO Line Breaker Ooo
"Raru...bigg-est, dream...is...chu be?"
"No Lu, it is To be. To, T-o."
"Thu?"
"..."
"..."
"Yes, correct. Now lets get going into another words. Here, spell this to me."
"Uhh...L-Ho-Oh-K?"
"The O's is being use with no 'h', repeat again. Said O with your tounge being on the underside of your mouth."
"O!L-O-Oh-OK!"
"..."
"..."
"Luffy, spell pirates for me."
"I got this! P-A-I-R-A-T-E! Pirate!"
Liam smack his own face. God, why did reading lesson have to become so hard. In his pervious life he can already start reading on the age of sixth years old.
"Liam! This books is hard! Lets begin with simple books!" Whine Luffy as he rest his head on the table. Liam do the same.
"Thats it, we will pratice using drawing before to real books words." Groan Liam as once again he hear Luffy cheer.
Makino smile as she already cleaning the house "Boys, let go to sleep. Its already night." Liam looking toward the clock and indeed its has been pass ninth.
"Lets go!"
Luffy yawn as he get up and Liam following him behind. The two walking toward their room and get into their bed. The bed that they share is Liam bed, and its fit nicely for the two of them. Makino kissed their head before head out after saying good night. Liam almost close his eyes when Luffy shake his shoulder.
"What, Lu?" Asked Liam.
"Bed time stories." Said Luffy as he smile.
"Well..." Liam began to short thinking about the come up stories. He already tell all about the disney princess stories that he remember, what else does he have, well he have one but its about yaoi.
It's yaoi.
Liam smack his head as he curse, how can he forget. He already getting into this world, so its mean he can also at last have some fan service. That is, he will make Luffy becoming a seme of the relationship with Zoro. And right here right now, Liam vote to make his most favorable OP pairing LuZo become real.
"Do you okay Liam?" Liam smile at Luffy.
"Luffy, I have three stories. Choose one. That Blazing Blue Blade, DN Aftershock or Prince of The Sea?" Asked Liam.
"Prince of The Sea!" Yelled Luffy, typical answer and Liam should know that. He has been go crazy about becoming next Pirate King, Liam have to pull out the option about naming the story with sea.
"Well, its began a long time ago...
A young boy with the name of Perseus Jackson or know as Percy is born within a miracle. He is not a normal boy as his father is the god of the sea and father of the horses, Poseidon."
"How can he become the god of the sea, Gold Roger is the King of The Sea! Its make him becoming god also!" Liam looking toward Luffy with straight face, making Luffy bit his lips, "Right, no cutting the stories. Sorry."
"Then-"
"Still, how can he become a father of the horses?"
"..."
"I'll stay quite. Continued."
"Good, now...
Percy growing up with his mother alone, who later re married with a big buffy smelly man named Ugliano, or so I think it is his name. For twelve years, Percy can only live in the hand of his abused step-father that doesn't even care toward them. He also become a troublesome kid with PDHP and dylesxia, always pick up fight. One day when they taking a tour, he use his power withour him knowing to kick the bad kid that threating his friend who like to eat enchilada very much, namely Grover. He get detention and being call to meet one of his math teacher."
"I hate math. I know how he feel."
"..."
"Shishishi, sorry. Continue the story Liam!"
"..."
"Aww, come on Liam!"
"Kids it is already night, sleep now!" The sound of Makino voice echo throught the room as then Luffy sigh whilr Liam just shook his head. There goes his change to corrupt Luffy mind.
"Liam,pssstt." Called Luffy as Liam hmm'ed him, "Do you also doesn't have a father?" Liam turn his head and looking at Luffy who look at him, "I only see Liam and Makino at here, so Liam doesn't have a dad too?"
Liam sigh, "Well, I have. Its just I really hate him."
Luffy looking confusely at him, "Why isn't he your dad?"
"He abandonment me and mom. Why shouldn't I'm hate him. I really want him to come but he is a pirate. All pirate is bad." Said Liam before he look toward his palm, "Thats why, I'll become a great marine and then catch my father." There a pause after that before Liam turn to see Luffy but found the boy already sleep and snoring. His mouth twice before he shook his head, "Typicall Luffy." Said Liam before he lie down and looking at the ceiling.
Well, he should sleep now.
ooO Line Breaker Ooo
The most annoying days that Liam had in all his life. Well, technically one of them but still he is more annoyed in this day. His mom has gone to god know where in the morning and Luffy is missing. And wheres that make Liam doing right now?
Working on the Party Bar. Its already being the open for one hour ago, and what surprise him is, he doesn't even felt worried for the two. His mother probably just wandering around the village try to get food, and for this pass week his mother always bring many food that she can bring. He have to do something with Luffy eating habit, or maybe not. Maybe Makino will want to pratice her cooking skill. Even if thats doesn't really needen, Makino's food already taste delicious.
The red haid boy sigh as he lie his head on the bar table as he watching the picture of Makino who hug him while he still a baby and Shanks smile happily. Even if he hate his father-well he pretend to but, meh-he miss him. He almost turning into 8 now while Luffy almost 6. If not wrong from the cannon arc Shanks will get back into Fuusha Village when Luffy around 7th. A years again before Garp found out and Luffy eat the Gomu Gomu no Mi.
To tell the thruth, Liam afraid that Shanks won't coming back. After all, the people from Akagami Pirates is the man that leave behind their family. Take a example like Ussop's dad. He leave behing Ussop and never get back even after Ussop turn 17th he still have not come back. What if Shanks also being like that. What if the man doesn't want to return to just see Makino at last. He doesn't mind it if Shanks doesn't want to see him, he just doesn't want to see his mother daydreaming with a sad face.
The knocked door from behind making Liam rise his eyebrow as he then stand up, "Luffy? Is that you?" Asked Liam as he move to the back door and open it. Theres no on at there before Liam close again the door, "Strange." Said Liam as he move back toward the front bar.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIAM!" Liam jump in surprise and shriek like a girl she use to be before, then looking shocm at the scene in front of him. He can saw Makino smile as she hold the cake with Luffy. For a moments Liam stay silent before he hear a laugh as Luffy laugh and Makino giggles. He just notice that not only the two that in the bar as he also see many other people. Liam felt his face redden as he looking at the ground.
"Thats really are a funny shriek you have at there!" The voice that he know long enough even if he have not hear it for the past seventh years told him. Liam looking wide eyes at the man with the straw hat, a scar near his eyes and the read head also the charming smile. Shanks.
"What are you?" Asked Liam as he lost from his word. He already make a plan what will he do when Shanks come, but theres no plan about what will he do if Shanks come into his birthday. Lian want to be angry but its seem impossible as he too know the reason why Shanks goes away and set sail. He felt like he want to cry and cry he did.
"Oh, now you still become a cry baby?" Shanks place his right hand on his head as he then messing his hair.
Liam. Get a hold of yourself. Remember, all this past years he pretend to hate his father. He also told Luffy about that. He cannot end it now because of this surprise party. A simple surprise party cannot get Liam permission to make the pretending gone. Liam slap his hand away from his head as he looking at Shanks in much rage as mad as he can right now with thinking about all the mess that his father cause, which is harder because there is none at all. Because all he felt is the happiness because his father is back.
"I HATE YOU!" Said Liam before he turn over and walk away from the bar using the back door. He ignoring the yell of his mother as he kept running and stop at the harbor. He can see the pirates ship that his father bring before grabbing a rock and throw it to the ship as then he run away following the end of the beach.
Liam doesn't take a break as he kept running along the beach and finally stop as he think that he is already far from the village, because he is under the cliff that was placed really far from the village. He sit in one of the stone before sigh. What a dramatic exits that he make. Liam really embress himself on there. Really, yelling at his father and run off. What a stupid thing.
"He watchs as the sky turn orange as he still stay on the stone. He watch in amaze at the sun that slowly being swallow by the sea as the sea shining like a crystal. He kept watching until the sun gone and everything become dark. He can hear all animal voice inside the forest and also the sound of the wave. Liam then jump down from thr stone as he lie flat on his back looking at the stars. He decide that he should stay here and come back when its morning.
But the wind kinda felt so cold. Also he cannot sleep on the beach what if the water later reach him and the wave take him to the sea when he still asleep. He will die shortly.
Liam then get up and walks toward the forest as he plan to goes to thr cliff. Or maybe, he can kept walking and hoping that he will reach Dadan's house, the place where Ace and Luffy will live later. But theres the tiger inside the forest. He know that he has been getting stronger, but not enough. Well the only option is the cliff, and so Liam goes to the cliff as he get inside the forest. He grunt as he began to think about what kind of a night monster inside the forest, but what he find soon is unbelieveable.
"Beautiful..." Said Liam as he saw a group of fireflies gathering and shaping like a christmas tree. He goes there and then making thr group of fireflies fly away from there. Alright, where did he has to go again. Liam looking all around him as the forest look the same. Damn forest, all forest look the same at here.
Liam sigh before he continued his walk. He try his best to always stay under the moonlight or not to go into the dark place at the forest. Its not like this is his first time lost in the forest, hell, in his life before he even get lost in the graveyard, it's a miracle that he doesnt die yet. And the forest is far more dangerous. Especially when the forest fill with mutated animal. And the last time he goes this far is when he almost lost his live.
The sound of howling fill in the air. Liam jump and looking cautionly around him. He can see some of the flashing inside the forest. Liam take a deep breath as he slowly take a step back. Alright. He can do this. He just has to walk back slowly.
"Crack!" Liam looking nervously around him as he step one of the leaves. He can see a blazing red eyes as it walks closer to him. Liam felt his face goes pale as once again he being face with a mutated animal, but its not a tiger this time. It is a crocodile. A fucking giant crocodile. Liam try not to breathe but when he saw the crocodile goes to him, he jump as high as he can and using the trees to help him more higher. Liam rolling on the ground as he landed to the ground before run for his live.
The roar of the beast echo throught the forest and Liam speed up. Great. He will die. He will die in the forest by a giant crocodile. Why cannot even if it just once, he meet a bunny, a friendly bunny that will help him to find out the nearest city. And also lady fortuna doesn't favor him very much as Liam trip over one of the roots. He turn and looked at the crocodile that really close to him as it open its wide mouth ready to eat him.
And theres only one thing he can shout as a flash of memories of his father and mother flash in front of his eyes, "HEEELLPP!"
Liam close his eyes thightly as he wait for his end before he hear a gunshot and the yelled of the crocodile and a familiar voice that shout, "Don't touch my son!"
"Papa..." Liam watch with wide eyes open as his father holding his sword and slash the crocodile in ease. He watch how Shanks stand and looking at the corpse of the animal before turn to Liam, his eyes shadowed and Liam just looking at the ground under him.
True to be told. He is scare right now. He is really scare at this time. He curious but also afraid about what punishment he will get from Shanks later.
He can felt a big arms huge him as he looking at the red hair that lie down his head in his shoulder, "I'm glad you okay." Said Shanks as he ruffles Liam hair.
"I'm...I really am sorry!" Said Liam as he hug back. He felt really scared right now. He almost die twice in the forest. If Shanks doesn't come in time. He will surely die. The tears start pouring from his eyes.
"Its okay. You are safe, its all the matter. Let's go back home."
Aria : Done. Phew...its really are a fast plot. I'm out of idea right now but surely the next time it will be good. I plan to make Shanks lose his arm but then meh, it will become so bad. Well actualy I have been planning about that but then the bandits scene. Hmm, right. I will make it more intresting. Next is the coming of the Bandits and Shanks lose his arm.
