( .This)

It was pure accident for Luffy to get himself lost in the middle of down town of Goa kingdom and by the time he notice it…well it's too late…he's lost from who knows where. The 7 years old straw-hatted boy pouted and looked around hoping to see his two older brothers but unfortunately he can't find them.

A growled stopped him from his musings and he groaned as he clutched his hungry-aching tummy.

"I'm hungry…" He whined softly. He decided to find his brothers but some kid just bumped him that made the kid fall down on his butt.

"You insolent trash! What have you done?!" The kid cried and immediately stood from the ground looked at his weird frilled dress shirt that has some little stains on it. "Don't you know how much this shirt cost?!"

"Are you an idiot? Of course I don't know." Luffy frowned at the weird looking kid who has a somewhat an abstract face that even for his little mind is confusing. "It's just a shirt anyway."

The kid laughed which annoyed our little Luffy, "Just a shirt anyway?" The kid echoed mockingly. "Idiot! Even if you pay this shirt with your life you can't pay this with your worthless life! You're just a street trash who don't know anything I bet you couldn't even count numbers or read a book…HAH…just a worthless idiot who think he's human." The kid mocked with his book hanging in his hand in front of Luffy's face.

Luffy on the other hand kept his cool but he admit that he can't read or count that right but Ace and Sabo are there for him who kept teaching him with their own limited knowledge just to educate him, it's enough for a kid like him but for Luffy it's more than enough that he knows something that not even a book could share with him.

For him it's just a hard covered paper compressed together, it can't educate him without the ones who could read it – he'd rather have someone teach him than some book.

"Can't say anything there trash? Oh right you're just a trash you don't even have the right to talk, or be in here or maybe you should just die to lessen the trash here in this world." The kid kept going on his insult but Luffy won't budge and not far from their position, Ace and Sabo are hiding behind a wooden box.

"Sabo let me go! I'll teach that shitty kid a lesson!" Ace hissed venomously as he continued to struggle free from Sabo's tight grip arms.

"Don't! Luffy's not even doing anything let him handle it and beside we are not supposed to create any trouble here!" Sabo insisted, almost failingly stopping the raging freckled boy.

"IDIOT! You can't even write! TONTA! Such trash should be gone I bet your family are so poor they're like you who cannot even read or write! Worthless! What do you have a prostitute mother and sister; or a gambling smelly father? Ooohh…I know maybe you have brothers are idiots too! Weird idiot monkeys like you!" The kid laughed loudly as he let the book fall from his hand.

Luffy twitched and looked like he's going to murder the annoying noble kid in front of him but instead he fixed the position of his straw-hat and picked up the discarded book on the ground. The kid laughed again, "Care to read that trash? It's no use you'll just end up having nose bleed instead!"

"I'm not smart yes…" Luffy started with his hat covering his eyes. "But…no one have the right to insult my family…especially my brothers!" The kid stopped laughing while Ace and Sabo who were about to attack stopped.

A loud slap made the annoying kid stopped him and he found himself in the verge of fainting – lying again on the ground and looking at the scary face of the kid towering his body. Luffy took a deep shuddering breath and threw the book on the noble kid's face.

"Maybe your words could hurt me but I can give you millions of pain if I wanted to. Oh by the way I just confirmed if that book could really hurt someone well you're right I hope you learned your lesson." Luffy snorted and walked away leaving the stunned kid lying on the ground. "And remind you my brothers are not idiots, maybe sometimes but not all the time!" Ace and Sabo almost grinned but they fell after that.

"At least praise us appropriately!" Ace hissed.

"Mah…he did well right? At least he knows what he's doing."
