AUTHOR'S NOTE: I JUST EDITED SOME MISTAKES I SAW WHILE READING THE CHAPTER. IF THERE ARE STILL SOME MISTAKES OR IF I MADE IT WORSE. I APOLOGIZE! ALSO, I MIGHT NEED A BETA TESTER? HAHAHA, YOU KNOW... WELL ANYWAYS, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN BETA READING MY STORIES, PLEASE DO PM ME.

I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE WHO THOUGHT THERE WAS A NEW CHAPTER, SORRY. MAYBE AFTER SOME TIME. ANYWAYS, DO YOU THINK I SHOULD MAKE AN OMAKE FOR ACE AND THE REST MEETING HIGUMA?


Author's Note: Okay.. I did not expect someone to get angry. Also I'm posting this so everyone can see. The chapter was a joke that my cousin suggested. I didn't expect someone to get angry, okay? Sorry about that and besides, I do not think that I only I have this idea. Just to be clear. I know my writing skills suck? I know that to myself and thank you for pointing out that. I know okay? And for losing you as a follower, okay? I did not even expect someone to read this because when I posted the very first chapter I was only thinking, "Hey why not try to post a story." Don't get me wrong, people have different perspective in life. I don't know about you or anyone. If you don't like the story it's fine. I'm not expecting much and the only reason I ever updated this story if because the ones who are following this asked. And for my age, I'm 18. I'm not proud of it and if you say it's true? I'll just delete this story. I'm not perfect. I have times that I have very stupid moments and this is one of them when I indulged my cousins whim. Okay? Sorry. Anyways, this is just my side and thoughts. I know some my be offended, I'm sorry for that, I did not mean it. I'm having trouble communicating with people. So I end up saying something that may offend then or anger them.

Warnings: Grammatical errors and Stuffs

Disclaimers: I do not own One Piece, if I did, Ace would be alive :)


"That was very stupid of him!" Nami exclaimed, looking horrified at the stupidity those bandits are doing. Many nodded in agreement.

Luffy grimace, clearly remembering that scene. Both Ace and Sabo tightened their hold to comfort Luffy, in which he leaned at them. Trying in relax.

Shanks only sighed.

"Woman! Give us 10 barrels of sake!" Higuma demanded. Makino only looked at him, nervous and wary. "I'm really sorry sir, but I told you, we're really out of sake." she tried to explain calmly.

"Ma, ma. Look at what you did Mister. The floor is all wet now." Shanks said, his straw hat shadowing half of his face. The pirates are eerily silent. No one moved. The bandits only looked at them, feeling slightly unnerved.

But alas, someone is bound to do something stupid, "What did you say? Ha!" Higuma looked at Shanks, trying to intimidate him. Yep, I was right, someone is really stupid.

"That guy really is stupid. Who the hell does he think he is?" Sanji said, looking at the scene in a deadpanned manner.

"What's funny is he's trying to act tough. Does he think that he can intimidate a Yonko? He, who is only a measly bandit worth 8 Million Berri?" surprisingly it was Crocodile who said this.

Everyone blink at him.

"What?" He scowled defensively.

"I thought you're mute actually, with not talking for the past chapters." Ace said looking at him.

"WHAT?!" Crocodile exploded. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE D*MN AUTHOR OF THIS STORY IS ONLY WRITING YOUR REACTIONS! MUGIWARA THIS, HIKEN THIS!" he ranted.

"WELL IT'S NOT OUR FAULT THE AUTHOR LIKES US MORE THAN YOU!" Ace defended, smirking smugly at the Sand Logia user.

"WELL WHY THE HELL DID SHE EVEN BROUGHT US HERE IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE IN ANY CHAPTERS!" He raged, scowling murderously at them.

"We're breaking the fourth wall guys. Stop it!" Sabo said, trying to calm down the raging sand logia user while looking at Ace whose still looking at Crocodile smugly. He sighs.

(Hahahaha that's not part of the chapter.)

"What's funny is he's trying to act tough. Does he think that he can intimidate a Yonko? He, who is only a measly bandit worth 8 Million Berri?" surprisingly it was Crocodile who said this.

"Because men are stupid." Boa Hancock said haughtily.

"What the hell did you say woman?" Crocodile asked, looking very dangerously. Hancock merely rolled her eyes then faced him, "I said, because men are stupid. Do you have any problem with what I said?" she then looks at him, raising her leg and looking down at him with her special I-Am-Beautiful-You-Are-Not-Worth-My-Time-So-I-Will-Look-Down-Upon-You-Like-I-Do-With-Everyone-Else-Except-My-Sisters-And-My-Beloved-Luffy-kun pose.

Crocodile growled, looking ready to start a fight with the arrogant Empress. "Crocodile, Miss Hancock, please stop this argument. This is unbecoming of you as Warlords." Jinbei said, trying to ease both fruit users.

"Yihihahahaha I think you forgot Jinbei... Croco-man here is no longer a Warlord." Doflamingo laughs then stops, "Oh right. You're no longer a Warlord too." The he laughs again.

"Creep"

"Weirdo"

"He's Crazy!"

"Oh my gush.. I think I'll have nightmares with that laugh."

"Shishishishi, I like his laugh."

"Really Lu? Really?"

"Why thank you Mugiwara, I like your laugh too Yihihahahahha."

"Really thanks, shishishishishi."

"STOP LOOKING AT MY BROTHER YOU D*MN PEDOPHILE!"

"PEDOPHILE?! EEEEHHH?!"

A sharp clap stopped them and they looked at the source, Ayane smiling at them, looking innocent but has a deadly aura surrounding her. That shut them up.

Luffy is seen munching his food the he looks at his right, seeing a box.

Shanks groans while Benn looks at his Captain in sympathy.

Shanks crouches down to pick up the pieces, his straw hat shadowing half of his face. "Captain, it's fine. Let me do it." Makino said, holding up a cloth. She is still wary of the bandits. Luffy looked at the scene, eyes wide looking at his idol cleaning up the mess the bandit made and not fighting back. In his hands is a strange looking fruit, already has a big bite.

"Is that...?"

"I should have expected." A sigh can be heard.

"Luffy you idiot."

"It's fine Makino, I can handle this." Shanks said while picking up the broken pieces of glass. Makino insisted to help and moves to help but Higuma unsheathes his sword and swung it at the cabinet. Glass shatters, plates broken and Shanks is dripping wet. The rest of the crew merely looked at the scene not moving to help their captain. Makino looks at the scene in horror while Luffy looks like his going to explode.

"What the hell." Usopp said, looking at the screen in disbelief. "Why aren't they doing anything?" he asked.

Some raised their eyebrow at the scene. Akainu mere scoffed at the scene.

"It's... It's the same." Nami said, looking at Zoro who looks at the scene in grim. he only nodded. Robin looks at them, "What do you mean Navigator-san?" she asked. The whole crew looked at her. She only shook her head.

"It's seems you like to clean, there. I gave you something more to clean." Higuma said darkly, then laughs. His goons laughed to. The bar is still silent, no one from the crew moved. "Come on, there's no need to stay here. There's no sake." he then walks out to the door, he looks over his shoulder and says, "It's really disappointing how weak you pirates are. I guess that's to be expected with cowards roaming the seas." he sneered then walks out completely then laughs along with his goons.

"Why that..." Ace cursed silently. "I'll show him what a real pirate is!" Ace scowled. Sabo merely looks at him and shook his head. "Why didn't Shanks defend himself from does weaklings?!" he scowled crossing his arms. Sabo sighs, "Ace, let's wait for an explanation, okay? Also, look." Sabo jerks his head to Luffy who was subdue ever since the start of the memory. Ace looks at Luffy, concern clearly is shown on his face. He hugs Luffy who immediately returns it.

With the WB Pirates:

Thatch blinks, "Eh? He's not doing anything?" he looks around to his brothers and his father. Whitebeard merely grins.

With the Marines:

"Eh? Why is he not doing anything? He's not going to murder the bandits for disrespecting him?" Coby asked, looking around to see if someone would answer him, beside him, Helmeppo looks around too.

Garp merely looks at the scene as did the rest of the marines.

Rayleigh merely smiled, a hint of pride on his face.

The bar was silent, Makino crouches down, a white cloth in her hand. "Captain, are you okay?" she asked worriedly giving him the cloth. Then Shanks laughed, "I'm fine." that cause the rest of the pirates to laugh.

"Captain was so lame!"

"Did you like the shower Boss?!"

"Hahahaa! That's was funny!"

"Totally uncool Captain!"

Some yelled and the rest laughed, Shanks merely looked at them then laughed along.

"W-What?" Usopp muttered, not believing what he's seeing. Why aren't they doing anything?

"Their all laughing like there's nothing wrong." Chopper said, looking at the scene in wonder.

"What the hell!" Kidd yelled. He then turned to Shanks, "What the hell was that about?! Why the hell did you not fight back?!" He yelled, fist clenched. His whole body shaking due to rage, he can't believe that he just let them do that. He's supposed to be a powerful Yonko right?! What point is it in defeating him when he's this weak!

Shanks raised his eyebrow at Kidd, "Hmmm. It's not really worth it, you know?" he replied.

"What?" Kidd asked in disbelief. "How the hell is it not worth it?! He humiliated you, you d*mn*ss!" He screamed in anger. Forget him being a Yonko. He's a weakling! How? How... Tsk.

Shanks sighs, "Look kid, (Pun not intended) I don't know about you but I don't fight meaningless battles if I can help it. And besides, what would happen if I fight them? Luffy was there. I can't just beat them up or kill them in front of a child or a civilian. Do you know how terrifying that is for them? It would also be a bad example for Luffy." he said.

Kidd merely looked at him with a blank expression, but has a calculative gleam in his eyes.

Meanwhile,

"I guess he can be mature if needed." Sabo said, looking a little bewildered. "I guess, it's shocking really." Ace replied while Luffy merely giggled. Clearly enjoying what's happening.

With the Strawhat Pirates,

"Wow... That was so awesome!" Usopp said, looking at Shanks. "He's so cool~!" Chopper nodded excitedly. Sanji merely shook his head, smirking lightly. While Nami and Zoro looked at each other, the former smiling fondly and latter merely nodded. Robin smiled but looked at both the First mate and the Navigator, Nami seeing Robin's gaze on them merely shook her head then saying, "If it's going to show Luffy's memories, then you'll eventually find out what we're talking." Robin looked at them then nodded her head in agreement while Franky and Brook exclaimed a "Supeeeerrr~!" and a "Yohohohoho~!".

With the Marines,

"Wow. That was..." Coby didn't finish his sentence because he realize that he was a Marine, a Marine that's suppose to despise pirates and not admire them. Helmeppo too realized this so both of them shut themselves at, but internally fanboying inside.

Sengoku merely sighs, why couldn't he be mature like... always? The Admirals merely looked impassive. Garp looked grumpy, but he did know that Akagami was right. While Smoker merely frowned as Tashigi looked uncomfortable hearing this.

With the Warlords,

Some merely raised their eyebrows but the most prominent reactions are... Jinbei looked at Akagami in respect, Mihawk merely shook his head but a small smirk can be seen on his face and Boa Hancock who... "Good thing you did or else you'll pay for traumatizing my Luffy-kun."

"Why hasn't anyone else asked why the Pirates Empress kept referring Luffy as hers." Usopp muttered.

With the Revolutionaries,

"Wow." Koala muttered. She didn't expect that. Dragon stayed impassive but inwardly grateful while Iva grins.

With the WB Pirates,

Whitebeard merely boomed in laughter, while thinking, "Roger, you'll be so proud. The brat has grown so much." He then smirks, looking at his sons' reaction. Marco merely looked at the red-haired in disbelief, then sighs, clearly giving up. Thatch blinks. then pinches himself, then blinks again, then pinches him again. When nothing was happening, he looked up to his father then asked, "Ne Oyaji, I think I'm really in some sort of Limbo, cuz' Akagami suddenly said something mature."

The rest of the commanders... eh.. well.. has blank expressions. Clearly not believing what happened.

With Shanks and Co.

Shanks pouts, Why do they keep bullying meeeee?! While Benn merely chuckled along with Rayleigh, but one can see he's very proud of Shanks.

"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?! WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?!" Luffy yelled standing up to where he is. Immediately everyone looks at him. "What's wrong Luffy?" Shanks asked, Luffy's body is shaking, it's shaking with rage. He couldn't believe Shanks. Why didn't he fought back?

"WHY DIDN'T YOU FIGHT HIM?!" He yelled, fist shaking. Shanks sighs, "Look Luffy, it's not worth it." he said looking at the shaking form of Luffy.

Luffy shook his head, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T FIGHT BACK SHANKS! I THOUGHT YOU WERE STRONG! BUT YOUR NOT!" he continued to yell, he then runs to get outside of the bar but Shanks took his wrist. "Come on Luffy don't be..."

"CAPTAIN! THE DEVIL FRUIT IS GONE!" with the shout everyone looked at Luffy. Shanks immediately shook Luffy asking him if he saw the fruit and he answered yes, that it was terrible then the whole crew panicked with Shanks explaining the consequences of eating a devil fruit with Luffy screaming.

"I give up, this is stupid." Kidd deadpanned. Everyone agreed with the exception of Ayane and Robin who are giggling.

The screen turns black again.

The scene turn again at the bar with only Makino and Luffy inside.

"Oh no." Luffy said, looking pained, clearly remembering this moment. Both of his brothers looked at him in concern.

"Are you okay Luffy?" Makino asked, looking at the boy whose looking gloomy while eating his food. Luffy bites his lip then says, "I'm fine Makino." he said, pouting. Makino smiles softly, "Do you miss the Captain and the rest?" she asked, looking at the boy. Luffy loooked at her then shakes his head, "No way! Shanks is being meanie! I'm still mad at him." He then pouts and continues to sulk.

"Luffy, why are you mad at the Captain?" Makino asked patiently. "Because he didn't fight those stupid bandits! I thought Shanks was strong!" he said, crossing his arms. Makino smiles, "Actually, I think Captain-san is very strong Luffy." she continues when she saw Luffy looking at her in bewilderment, "Not many has the patience Captain-san has. Not every fight has to be fought with violence Luffy. Sometimes you have to let things goes. You have to be calm and reserve and not hot headed. Specially Captain-san whose a captain. He has many under his control, he has to be always calm so he can lead them efficiently. Because he knows that many rely on him. It's because his a captain that he must show patience because whatever he does will reflect on his crew."

"Wow, I never thought of it like that." Chopper looked at Makino in wonder. While some looked at her in respect. Shanks smiles with Benn while Rayleigh chuckled, "Well, it seems the young lady knows what she's talking about."

Whitebeard grins, "I like her. Gurararara!"

Sengoku looks at the young lady at the screen then nods in respect, while he doesn't like how she used a pirate captain of all things to example, he can see what she just pointed out.

Luffy looks at Makino then nods his head in understanding, he then looks up and smiles brightly, "Don't worry Makino, I'll say sorry to Shanks when he comes back!" he beams when Makino giggled. "Of course Luffy."

Some cooed at the cuteness and some smiled. Some remained impassive *cough* Akainu *cough* the b*stard *cough*

The door suddenly opens and shows the bandits from last time.

Many groaned, "Not them again."

"Oh look, those stupid pirates aren't here. Oy woman! Give us some sake!" Higuma demanded, Makino flinches but went to them. When the sakes were distributed, Higuma and rest continued to insult Shanks and the rest. Luffy looks ready to explode while hearing them trash talk Shanks and the rest.

"These bandits have death wishes." Ace said, face darkens while continuing watching the scene. While Sabo has an impassive face.

"I don't like the look on Luffy's face." Usopp said, nervous.

"Please don't do something stupid, please don't do something stupid. Oh who am I kidding, he's gonna do something stupid." Nami said, looking resigned. Zoro and Sanji merely looked impassive.

Shanks and Benn grimaces, the former touches the his left shoulder. Rayleigh seeing the action, realizes what will happen looked at the screen intently.

"STOP INSULTING SHANKS!" Luffy finally yelled.

The screen suddenly goes black,

"Eh what happened?"

The screen suddenly light ups, the scene shows Makino running desperately.

Everyone suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Mayor! Mayor Wood Slap!" Makino continued to scream, when the man himself comes out of his house looking at Makino, worried. "What is it Makino?" he asked.

"Luffy..." she continued, "Mayor! The bandits have Luffy! Their beating him up in the center of the town!" she yelled, tears streaming on her face.

A pin can be heard if it drops due to the silence. Everyone who is closed to Luffy suddenly couldn't breath.

The scene changes again and is shown Luffy at the ground with Higuma pinning him with his foot.

"That little piece of sh*t!" Ace swore, looking ready to throttle the bandit for daring to hurt his baby brother while Sabo is thinking of how to convince Ayane to bring that b*stard Higuma here, I mean, she brought Thatch here right? She could do that to that b*stard too right?

Everyone, I mean, the Strawhats, Shanks and Co., the WB and the Revolutionaries with Jinbei and Boa Hancock are ready to kill the man for hurting Luffy.

"So brat, are you going to apologize?" the idiot bandit that's called Higuma taunted. Luffy aimlessly tries to punch the idiot but to no avail. "You say sorry for insulting Shanks! You big dummy!" he yelled. Higuma got mad then continues to pin Luffy to the ground. "Why you.."

"Please release Luffy! I beg you!" Mayor Wood Slap's voice was suddenly heard, the bandit looks at the side and sees the man kneeling bowing. "Mayor! Makino!" Luffy exclaimed. "Please release Luffy! He's only a child, I beg you! We'll give you money. Just please release him."

Higuma merely looked at the Wood Slap in boredom, "I would have just beaten him up and be my way. But this brat insulted me. So I'm thinking of merely selling him to slave drivers." To see his point he took hold of Luffy's arm then pulls it, seeing it stretch. Makino stiffens when she heard this.

"Ayane." Sabo said, the mentioned person looked at the blond overprotective brother, "Can you bring that B*stard here? We would like to give him a lesson in handling children." he then smiles at her, a bone chilling smile that made a certain idiot bandit who died years ago because of stupidity shuddered in fright in the afterlife. Ayane merely blinked at him then looks around and sees majority of the people in the room are looking murderous. "Hmm.. maybe later." She smiles. Sabo smiles at her charmingly then looks at Ace, they made eye contact and an agreement was made; they'll make plans to torture that B*stard.

"Shut up you stupid gorilla! I'll beat you up and make you say sorry for insulting Shanks!" Luffy yelled.

"Why couldn't he just shut up?!" Nami asked, feeling resigned but worried for her Captain.

The Goril- I mean the bandit got mad and looked at Luffy, "Why you- Hmp. Never mind." He then smirks, holding his sword up in the air and aiming it at Luffy. "I changed my mind, I'm just going to kill you."

Makino gasps in fright, the villagers were frighten, and the Mayor looks about to yell and beg for Luffy's life.

Everyone who cares for Luffy stiffens, ready to take actions to protect their mini captain even though it already happened. Akainu leans in in interest. *cough* heartless b*stard *cough*

"I wonder why no one welcomed as at the docks, I guess your all here." a voice was heard. Everyone looked at where the source of the voice is and then sees Akagami no Shanks along with his crew.

"YES! LUFFY'S SAVE!" Usopp, Franky, Brook and Chopper exclaimed, dancing happily. Robin and Nami smiles slightly, relieved that Shanks finally arrived. Zoro sheathes his sword and Sanji put his leg down.

Coby sighs in relief along with Helmeppo and Tashigi, While Smoker relaxes, even though Strawhat is a pirate, he's only a child when that happened. Garps grits his teeth, finally realizing what's happening. While Sengoku looks at his friend in concern. Akainu narrows his eyes, Dragon's son should have died if Akagami didn't arrived. Aokiji relaxes, he can't take it if a child dies while Kizaru merely blinks.

"I'm going to murder that Gorilla for laying a hand at Luffy!" Boa Hancock screech. Crocodile winces, "Will you shut the hell up woman!" he yelled. Hancock looks at at him then yells at him to shut up which led to them having a yelling competi- I mean argument.

Meanwhile some are tense at the scene, a clap was heard and everyone looked at Ayane. "You know.. this part could have been finished a long time ago if you all just shut the hell up. But noooo... you have to react at every d*mn details." She then smiles again. "Can we continue now?"

Silence greeted her. Feeling satisfied, Ayane continued to play the memory.

"SHANKS!"

"CAPTAIN-SAN!"

"Pirate, your still here? Are you cleaning up the whole village?"

Shanks merely smiled, then he looks at Luffy, "Hey Luffy, I thought your punches are as strong as a pistol." he taunted. Luffy got angry and yelled, "Shut up!" But Shanks merely smiled.. Higuma who looks irritated at being ignored interrupts both of them. "I don't know what you're doing here for, but you'b better run before you get hurt. If you come any closer, I'll blow your head off, coward."

Shanks continues to walk towards them when an idio- when a bandit points a gun at his forehead. "He said not to come any closer or you'll get your head blown off." The rest of the bandits laughed. Luffy looks at Shanks.

Shanks' eyes are covered by his straw hat then he says, "Risk your life on it."

The Bandit Idiot #2, because Higuma the Gorilla is Bandit Idiot #1 for reasons already stated, gave a confused, "What?" at Shanks' statement. But Shanks continues, "With that pistol, you will risk your life." Bandit Idiot #2 looked at Shanks in bewilderment, "What the hell are you talking about?"

Usopp jerks his head in surprise, Nami and Zoro as well looked at the scene in interest. Isn't this what Luffy said back then? They looked at one another.

Shanks then point his finger at the pistol then says, "This isn't child's game." Then a gunshot was heard, Lucky Roo shot Bandit Idiot#2 while eating a piece of meat. The bandits looked shock on what happened, looking at the dead body of Bandit Idiot #2. Makino and Wood Slap gasp while Luffy looked shocked.

"Oh kami..."

Kidd's eyes widen.

Another bandit spoke, let's call him Bandit Idiot #3, "You killed him!" he yelled. Bandit Idiot #4 then yells, "What unfair bastards.."

Benn then speaks, "Unfair? Don't be naive. You're not fighting against holy men." then Shanks speaks, "The one before you are pirates."

Sengoku scoffs, he said he didn't want to kill in front of the kid then he lets his crew member kill someone in front of not only the young woman but the kid too. Pirates.

Another idiot bandits who couldn't read between the lines yelled at Shanks to shut up. "We don't have business with you!"

Suddenly, Shanks' easy going attitude drops. He narrows his eyes at Higuma, who looked startled at the change of attitude. He suddenly got very nervous. "Listen here bandits," he then steps forward then says,

"You can poor drinks on me, you can throw food at me, you can even spit on me, I'll just laugh that stuff off. But.. good reason or not... nobody hurts a friend of MINE."

Luffy looks at Shanks in adoration. Eyes widen at what Shanks said. "Shanks."

"Wow. Akagami no Shanks is so awesome!" Usopp said, eyes looking at the man on the screen, That's my father's captain. Chopper merely nodded.

Zoro smirks, while Sanji merely shakes his head smirking too. Nami and Robin looks at one another, "I guess this is where Luffy's..." Robin nodded. "He's so manly, Supppeeeerrr~!" Franky yelled, tears streaming on his facing while Brook looked at the scene silently.

Smoker looked surprised then shakes his head, this is the real Emperor of the Sea. Not the outgoing idiot that got portrayed last time. While Coby, Helmeppo at Tashigi looked awe.

Dragon looked at his son's face on the screen then looks at the present, feeling concerned but doesn't show it at what he sees. Koala looked at the scene in adoration, "He's so cool..."

While Mihawk and Whitebeard smirks, "The Akagami-brat is finally serious."

"Or what? Freaking pirates. Men! Kill them all!" The Bandit Royal Idiot.. yes Royal Idiot... he got promoted, ordered his Royal Idiot Army charge at Shanks when Benn grips his pistol then says, "I'm enough to take care of all of them." he then steps forward towards the charging Idiots... After releasing his pistol he attacks and the battle lasted... within 5 seconds. Wow. Bandit Royal idiot suddenly realized he was going to die due to his stupidity when Benn continued to speak, "You're dreaming, bandit. If you want to fight us, you should bring a warship". Then Luffy is shown, he utters "Strong".

Kidd looked at the scene, wide eyes, He couldn't believe it. Their... he then looks at the present Yonko and he's first mate.

Bandit Royal Idiot suddenly panics then tries to explain himself when Shanks stated that doesn't he have a bounty for his head. He panics and throws a smoke bomb then he was gone with Luffy. Shanks who realized this suddenly panics thus ruing his image again.

"LUFFY!"

"OH NO! LUFFY!"

"I'LL KILL THAT B*STARD!"

*sighs* "He destroyed his image again." Marco said, though he was worried for the kid.

Luffy looked aways from the screen, knowing full well what would happen next, Ace and Sabo looked at each other in worry. They already knew what's going to be shown. They hugged Luffy closer, muttering soft comforting words, Luffy's crew looked concerned, not knowing what's happening to their captain with the exception of Zoro who grimaces. Nami looked at Zoro, ""You know what's going to happen, don't you?" Zoro sighs and nods, "You'll find out soon."

"Luffy! Oh my GOD! I let him take Luffy!" Shanks panicked. Benn sighs, "Captain calmed down and let's split out." Shanks takes deep breath then yells his orders.

The scene changes at the scene, they can see Higuma on a boat with Luffy dangling at his arms, trying to get away from him, yelling and screaming. Higuma manically laughs, "Those pirates won't know that I set out, their too stupid." He laughs then looks at Luffy and grins. "This is all your fault, you brat. Your no use to me now, so bye." He then throws Luffy at the sea while laughing.

"LUFFY!"

Several people tries to go at the screen but couldn't move. Some bit their lips to the point it bled and some merely raised their eyebrows.

Luffy trashes around helplessly, trying to stay afloat but couldn't. Bandit Royal Idiot merely laughed in triumph and he didn't see the shadow that was heading at him until it was too late. He then looked at the face of a see king, the smile in his face was wiped out and he yelled for help when the sea king, the Lord of the Coast swallowed him. The Lord of the Coast then turned his eyes on Luffy.

"Oh my God... please please please.. someone save him!"

"LUFFY! SWIM D*MMIT! PEDAL YOUR FEET!"

"LUFFY!"

"I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE KILLED THAT SEA KING WHEN I WENT OUT OF THE SEA!"

"SOMEONE SAVE HIM!"

When the sea king was near and open its mouth, a flash of red was seen. The sea kings face was seen, looking at Shanks in slight fear and confusion, then Shanks was seen holding Luffy then he faces the sea king then uses conquerors haki when ordering, "Get lost." The sea king got scared and fled, leaving both Luffy and Shanks at sea.

"Come on Luffy, don't cry. Your a big boy now, aren't you?" Shanks said, comforting the said boy that's sobbing in his arm. "But Shanks... Your... Your Arm!" Luffy exclaimed, sobbing harder.

Eyes widen, looking at the scene shocked. Akagami no Shanks' left arm was bitten off by the sea king.

Whitebeard closes his eyes, "So that's what happened." he mutter. Marco and Thatch along with the rest of the commanders looked at each. "So that's how he lost his left arm."

Mihawk looked at the seen impassively, yet now he was satisfied. At least he made the right bet. He thought, then he looks at the boy, no... the young man whom his rival and friend had bet his arm who looked pained at the scene. Yes, he made the right choice.

Garp closes his eyes, stricken with grief. Luffy could have died, if Akagami didn't save him. While Coby and Helmeppo looked at the scene in wides eyes. Smoker looked at Luffy who looked at the scene with a pained expression, he then sighs. No wonder he treats Akagami like that. Sengoku didn't say anthing as well as the rest of the Admirals.

"Holy sh*t." Law muttered, eyes wide looking at the scene. "That's how Akagami no Shanks lost his arm." he then suddenly thought of a certain blond man who smiles at him widely. He then shakes his head, trying to clear his mind.

Nami looked at the scene, her hand covering her mouth. This is... She then looks at Zoro who looks at the scene impassively, to Sanji and the rest of the crew, they looked shock and grief stricken. They all looked at one another, and they made a decision. They need to thank Shanks.

Sabo and Ace hugged their baby bother who looks to be trying to cry. "It's okay Luffy. It's not your fault. I'm sure of it." Sabo said, comfortingly while Ace hugs him tightly.

The rest of the warlords didn't say anything, even Hancock did not say anything.

"It's fine Luffy. It's just an arm. It's nothing compared to your life. Now stop crying." Shanks said comfortingly. But Luffy continued to sob.

No one said anything, but with the exception of certain individuals that you already know, Shanks gained so much respect from the rest.

The scene changes and we see Luffy and Shanks at the docks, some of Shanks' crew are carrying crates. "Are you really leaving?" Luffy asked, looking sad. Shanks who was wearing a black robe/cape hiding his missing arm, smiled at Luffy. "Yeah. Are you gonna miss us?" Luffy shakes his head, looking down.

"Shanks, I don't wanna join you anymore." Luffy said. Shanks' eyes widen in shock he was going to open his mouth and ask why, when suddenly Luffy looks up and says, "When I grow up, I'm gong to have my own crew, much more better than yours! Much more stronger and cooler! Then I'm gonna be The PIRATE KING!"

The rest of the Strawhat Pirates suddenly felt touched. They all smiled.

Whitebeard along with his crew smirked and laughed. They really like Ace's Little Brother.

Shanks smiles, "Really now?" he then chuckles, he then took off his straw hat and puts in on Luffy's head. "Then it's a promise, when you become a great and pirate with a great crew, come at me and bring me back this hat, okay?" he said. Luffy nodded his head, gripping the straw while trying to stop his sob. Shanks smiles then heads out along with his crew.

"That was very touching."

"Holy cows.. That was intense."

"Yeah."


So... it's been months since I last updated? Sorry.. I lost inspiration half way to this chapter last year and well.. yeah... then I had suddenly become inspired and continue this today. Took me hours... and I'm tired. But I'm going to post this anyways. Sorry for the very late update and the wrong spelling and grammars. I hope you enjoy this :)

ALSO! THIS IS THE LONGEST CHAPTER BY FAR THAT I HAVE WRITTEN 5k+! wow.
