~Meeting Shanks~
Young Luffy didn't listen to Makino's instructions, curiosity took over and he decided to go see these pirates. He sneakily got out of the bar and hide when he got to the seaport.
Nami sighs at Luffy's actions. "Of course he doesn't listen!" The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates nod their head in agreement, making Luffy pout. "I was curious! I never get to see pirates before!." Luffy yelled at his crew. Shanks laughs, enjoyment in his eyes as he watches Luffy, being adorably angry as Ace and Sabo try to calm their little bro.
Luffy heard many of the villagers yelling at the pirates. He peeked his head up, seeing a man with red hair with a familiar straw hat.
Mihawk glanced at Shanks and asked, "So this is where you were?" Shanks shrugs and decided to explain. "Hey, a pirate needs a break from adventuring. East Blue was the perfect place and since Garp wasn't around his island as much, we wanted to take a little visit but these villagers weren't that welcoming to my crew."
Ace and Sabo stared at the younger looking Shanks with wide eyes. "This was your first time meeting Shanks, right Lu?" Sabo asked. Luffy smiled at the memory yet sadden a bit later. "Yeah, Shanks was the first pirate I met, if I never met him, then..." Ace looked at Luffy curiously. "Then what Lu?"
"Shishishi, just watch Ace, Sabo." Luffy told them abd then he turned back to the screen. Now everybody was curious and continued to watch.
The red haired man decided to speak. "We don't want to bring you harm. My crew just needs to get supplies and relax a little here, no ill intent." He smiled the best he could, trying to look harmless.
"Yeah right, you pirates will pillage the village after gaining their trust." Akainu said. Shanks glared at Akainu, releasing some Haki. Akira threw another balloon at Akainu, except it's not filled with sea water. "If you don't stop mocking them, next time it'll be another waterfall." This statment by Akira made Akainu shut up and the pirates in the room smirk.
The villager don't believe in them. The mayor decided to speak up. "Please go away pirates! This is under the protection of Vice Admiral Garp!" Shanks sighs and tries to negotiate again. "Look, we have money to spend on stocks and to eat food here. We also want to relax, I'm telling you, we will never harm your village." Makino was watching with a worried expression.
Shanks sighs, "It was sooo hard to convince them but I don't blame them for not trusting us."
Child Luffy was confused, they didn't do anything wrong, why can't they just relax here at the village? Luffy had a determined look on his face.
Ace and Sabo know that expression very well, Luffy was going to do something reckless.
As they kept arguing, little Luffy yelled out, "Let them stay here Mayor!" Everyone turned to see little Luffy, Makino rushes to him.
"Luffy!" Yelled the crew. "Straw Hat-ya, you seriously trusted them that much?" Law asked Luffy. Luffy answered Law back. "They didn't do anything to harm the villagers. Shanks just wanted to relax but the Mayor won't let him." Garp shook his head at little Luffy's actions. "If it was another pirate crew that wasn't Shanks, they would've harm them Luffy."
"Luffy, I told you to stay!" Yelled Makino, she tried to take Luffy back but he wouldn't budge. "Let them stay Mayor, they did nothing wrong!" "But Luffy, they're pirates. We can't have them stay!" said the Mayor. Shanks laughs, shocking the crew and the villager. "C'mon Mayor! The boy wants us to stay, we really promise we won't do anything shady towards your people or the village." replied Shanks as he smiles at the boy who stood up for them. Luffy smiles back at Shanks.
Boa was fangirling at Luffy's adorable self and smile. "So cute~!"
Makino looked at Luffy and then back at Shanks. She sighs and decided to speak up, "Mayor, please let them stay." "B-But Makino! They're-!" Makino interupted the Mayor. "As Luffy said, they didn't harm us yet, I think they're telling the truth, so please let them stay."
Garp couldn't get mad at Makino for letting them stay at his village. "She's a very nice woman..." Said Sengoku. Garp nods his head in agreement, the three admirals thinks she's way too nice for her own good. Smoker respected her for standing up for the yonko and Luffy.
The Mayor sighs in defeat, he allowed the pirates to stay, making the crew cheer. Shanks walked up to Luffy and smiled at the small child. "Thanks for helping us out kid! My name is Shanks! These are my crewmates, I'll introduce ya later." Luffy jumps up in excitement and introduced himself. "I'm Luffy, nice to meet ya pirate!"
"If Luffy wasn't there to help us out, we wouldn't be able to stay there." Shanks said with fondness. Ace ruffed up Luffy's hair, proud of his little brother.
The Whitebeard pirates, Law, Kidd and Katakuri were impressed with Luffy's courage at his age on the screen.
Straw Hats and Dragon were proud of their captain/son.
The Marines were not that impressed, Luffy was being too reckless while Coby wished he had that courage when he was younger.
Corazon and Boa were adoring child Luffy.
The screen suddenly was in static and showed the next scene.
Little Luffy was on Shank's ship. He had a knife in his hand.
"Why does a kid like him have a knife?" Aske Kidd. Shanks started to sweat and slowly try to disappear. Mihawk sighs at Shanks, predicting whatever happening next will end up a dead Shanks.
"Oi! What are you doing Luffy?" Yelled Shanks.
"I'm not joking this time! I've had enough, I'll prove it for you all to see!" Little Luffy shouted at the Red-Haired Pirates.
Shanks smirks at Luffy and laughed, "Ha ha ha! Go for it! Let's see what you're gonna do!" The crew stared at Luffy with amusement.
"Luffy is gonna do something funny again!"
"What are ya going to do brat!?"
"Go Liuffy!"
Unexpectedly, Luffy stabbed himself under his eye, making the crew panic. "Idiot! What are you doing!?" yelled Shanks.
Everyone was shocked. "Luffy!" They yelled. Sabo and Ace shake Luffy for his idiotness. "You could've lost your eye Luffy!" Chopper yelled in concern. "He would've had to wear an eyepatch, that's a starting pirate look." Law said as he smirked. Robin glanced at the screen, her question was finally answered, "We finally know how he got that scar." Garp punched Luffy with a Fist of Love. "You reckless brat!"
Boa glared at the retreating pirate. "How dare you let Luffy-kun get hurt!"
Everyone turned to the said pirate, some had murderous looks. *cough* Ace, Sabo, Garp, Dragon and Boa *cough*
"Gurarara! This brat, he has the guts!" Whitebeard was concern for Luffy's reckless decision but he couldn't help comment on his braveness to actually stab himself.
The straw hats, Jimbe and Corazon were concerned for the child.
Thatch and Marco had to stop Sabo and Ace from murdering Shanks.
Garp and Dragon restricted themselves.
The marines were still shocked, a child like Luffy stabbing himself.
Kidd and Katakuri were impressed once again.
Crocodile and Doflamingo was amused.
Mihawk was holding Boa back from attacking Shanks.
"Shishishi, guys it's fine! It happened a long time ago, don't kill Shanks!" Luffy told to the ones wanting to murder Shanks as Shanks was hiding behind Akira for safety. Akira decided to hellp out Shanks a little, he made everyone back into their seats. "Remember, no fighting each other okay. This is all in the past, Luffy-san was a very reckless child with no sense of danger. Now the next scene is a very important one, pay attention."
The screen was in static once again as they all wait, very curious of the next memory.
