Chapter 7: Red Hair Meets Straw Hat Once Again! A Promise That Lasts for Ten Years

Luffy was following Pineapple around.

It was fun to follow Pineapple around.

Luffy soon noticed that Pineapple was going to the figurehead, where a ship could be clearly seen.

Didn't Luffy know that ship...?

The boy gasped, before grinning widely. It was Shanks's ship!

He quickly went to go find his brothers.

The first one he found was Sabo. Sabo was talking to Namur.

"Sabo! Sabo!" Luffy ran to his brother, "Come with me! We gotta find Ace n Law n Bepo!"

"Why?"

Luffy showed Sabo his straw hat, and the blonde's eyes lit up.

"Ace should be with Thatch and Law should be playing with Bepo in our room."

"Yosh!"

The two quickly found Ace, who was indeed with Thatch.

"What is it?" the second eldest asked the two. Luffy showed Ace his straw hat, and Ace's eyes lit up the same way as Sabo's. Together, the ASL trio rushed to their room to meet up with Law and Bepo.

"What is it, Luffy, Ace, Sabo?" Law asked. He had been playing 'Guess that Medical Term' with Bepo.

"Shanks is coming!" Luffy cheered as Ace and Sabo closed the door.

"Shanks? Red Hair Shanks?" Law asked. Luffy nodded.

"The Shanks that saved your life?"

"Yosh!"

"Do you want to go meet with him?"

"Yosh!"

"What about your promise to him?"

That question made Luffy pout. He wanted to see Shanks again. Law simply grinned.

"No matter. If its what you want, then let's do it. Let's go meet Shanks." the fourteen year old spoke. Luffy cheered, and the five brothers went out to watch Shanks board the Moby Dick from behind Namur and Thatch. Pineapple was next to Pops. Shanks had a really big bottle of sake with him.

Namur looked at the five brothers, before whispering, "Do you know who that is?" Before they could answer, the shark man told them, "That's Red Hair Shanks. He's a Yonko like Pops."

"We know." Ace replied, "He saved Lu's life once."

"He did?" Namur seemed surprised.

"Yeah, Namur-ya." Law nodded, "Myself, Bepo, Ace, and Sabo all want to thank him for doing so."

"I see. I'll bring you five over there." Thatch had turned around, "C'mon, now." The 4th division commander lead the five over to Pops, Pineapple, and Shanks.

"Hm? What is it, brats?" Pops looked over to them, causing Pineapple and Shanks to do the same. Shanks grinned widely when he saw Luffy.

"Anchor!"

"Hi Shanks!" Luffy grinned back, running to the man and glomping him.

"What're you doing here?"

"Pops kidnapped me and my brothers 'cause Law was being hunted by bad people."

Shanks laughed, "Did he now?"

"Mhm!" Luffy nodded. The seven year old could tell that the other pirates were surprised, but the Red Hair Pirate members Luffy knew quickly boarded the Moby Dick, and he was soon hugged by Lucky Roo, Benn, and Yasopp.

"Luffy, you know them?" Pineapple asked.

"Yosh! Shanks saved my life!" Luffy informed Pineapple. Pineapple looked at Pops.

"Pops?" Pops nodded to Pineapple.

"Thatch! Ready a feast!" Pineapple yelled to Thatch. The Head Cook nodded and rushed off with the other cooks.

"What are you doing, Whitebeard?" Shanks asked Pops.

"You saved one of my sons lives." was Pops' only response, but Shanks seemed to have gotten the true meaning, 'cause he nodded. Shanks then looked to Luffy.

"You have brothers?"

"Mhm!"

"I'd like to meet them."

Luffy nodded, and dragged Shanks over to his brothers, Lucky Roo, Benn, and Yasopp following.

"That's Law! He's my oldest brother!"

"A pleasure, Shanks-ya."

"That's Ace!"

"Thank you for saving Luffy's life, Shanks."

"No problem. Anything for a friend."

"That's Sabo!"

"Thank you for saving Lu."

"No problem, kid."

"And that's Bepo!"

"Nice to meet you!"

"... He's a talking bear?"

"Yup!"

"Sorry…"

"Don't apologize, Bepo!"

"Sorry…"

Law sighed.


Normal POV

The party was in full swing. Shanks, Benn, Lucky Roo, Yasopp, Ace, Bepo, and Luffy had begun to sing Bink's Sake, though Ace was blackmailed into it by Sabo. The two crews seemed to be having a lot of fun, though Law and Marco were off on the side, watching their siblings party. Both were nearby Whitebeard, who was watching his children party with a fellow Yonko. Sabo was talking to Namur and a few navigators about, well, navigation. The crew of the Whitebeard Pirates found that Sabo knew a lot about navigation, even for someone of his age.

All in all, it was a very… jovial scene on the Moby Dick, even when Shanks left.

Luffy had glomped the red haired man again, and Shanks had hugged the seven year old back.

"We can meet again, cause I'm a part of Pops' crew for now right?"

"Until you set out to sea alone, of course, Luffy." The five brothers had told him of this,

"Yosh!"

"See you around, Anchor."

"Bye Shanks! Bye Benn! Bye Lucky Roo! Bye Yasopp!"

"See ya, Luffy!"
