Past time...

The forest seem calming Luffy. Thats why he keep playing there. He maybe look like an idiot but he smart when he want to. He just don't like to think much and always straightforward. He can't even lie to save his life. So instinctively he being innocent and naive to save him from the headache when thinking.

Children the same age as him (7 years old) didn't like him and avoid him whenever he keep try to play with them. When he feel hurt by the loneliness in his heart, he will go to the forest and happily find the favourite place he found before he meet Shanks. A cliff that viewing the vast sea. There he will watching the sea everyday and finding the atlas beetle as a companion to play with.

He has one secret he never tell anyone. Once he try to tell the kids he play with end up they called him freak. Thus, his grandfather not always at home for a long time so he will sleep alone. Sometime Makino will come by and sleep over but because of the shop she cannot always be there. She really feel pity with Luffy but he brush her thought away by saying that it one of his grandfather training.

When Shanks come into his life, for once he really feel he have a family. But it not last longer because Shanks is a busy business man and always go travel to work. But both of them make a promise each other to meet in Raftel City when he is going to high school there. He smile widely from then on and try to achieve his goal to meet Shanks.

Present time...

Luffy sat on the cliff watching the sea with his new atlas beetle on his right shoulder while chewing some meat he get from Makino. The strawhat stay loyal on his head. The wind breeze blew brought along the freshness sea scented. The beetle on his shoulder moving to his back.

"Someone here?" Luffy looking at the beetle. His secret is he can hear a voice. He conclude that that voice is a 'mystery voice' on his logic explanation.

A tall man with dark green jacket and have a tribal tattoo at his left side of his face walking to Luffy. He stopped when he never expected Luffy to be there. Luffy looking into the man eyes with his owlish eyes as he try to search the answer. The eyes contact alone from Luffy seem trying to looking into his soul.

"Who are you old man?" Luffy cocked his head curiously.

"Dragon. What a little boy like you doing here?" Dragon asked. He then sit cross leg in front of Luffy. Luffy eyes shinning excitedly. A wide grind place on his face. Dragon just being stoic.

"Can you transform? Do you have wings? You have scales when you transform?" Luffy asked eagerly. He looking at Dragon from every view try to find any scales on his body.

"My name is Dragon, kid." He explained. Luffy staring longer at the man again.

"Hi, I'm Luffy." Luffy introduce himself excitedly. Dragon look at him like he didn't believe it.

"Your name is Dragon? So you my dad?" Luffy asked. Dragon shocked but he try not to looking like one. He calm himself for a bit.

"Who told you?" Dragon asked. No one know about his tie with Luffy except his father, Garp.

"I saw your picture holding a baby at jiji bedroom under the bed once when I try to hide from jiji training. There some word at the back. I cannot read well but i can spell 'Dragon' and 'Dad'. So, thats that." He answed.

Dragon speechless.

"Are you my dad?" He ask straight forward.

"Yes. And I'm sorry..." Dragon said. Luffy look at his father without even blinking. For a long time neither of them utter any word. A smile widely place on his face.

"Don't. You maybe have a reason. So i don't care." he said. Dragon never thought his son can think wise on this situation. He crave a small smile on his face. Luffy smile back at him.

"Dad can you tell me what it is out there? You work at Raftel City right?" Luffy asked eagerly.

"How do you know?" Dragon feel curious.

"Shanks have that kind of button on his collar. He said only someone from the city have this." Luffy pointing the button on Dragon collar.

"You know Shanks?" Dragon suprise. Luffy nodded.

"Can you tell you dad how you meet Shanks?" Dragon said. Luffy smile happily. He tell all the stories while he with Shanks and how he meet him. Dragon just listen quietly without interfere. He smile at Luffy antics and the way Luffy tell his story animatedly.

Luffy never been so happy. He meet his dad and he tell the story of his promise and adventure with Shanks proudly. He never knew how he waking up in his bed with his strawhat by his side and a piece of paper with a number and an initial D between the ribbon at the strawhat. He took a look at the paper and put it inside of his hat so he won't lose it. He smile happily.

He never knew how his life gonna change afterafter this...
