Hey guys! I know this is really late but I was so tired for a few weeks. Whatever... I am not going to talk anymore so off you go with the story! And I am so sorry for being this late.

As Shanks kept talking Zoro got bored and bored. He started to think about how he met Luffy and how his life and his friends' lifes changed after Luffy. He was awoken from his thoughts when Robin poked his side.

"Is something wrong? You're frowning." Robin asked concerned.

"No... Not at all." Zoro tried to smile a sweet smile but it turned out to be a creepy smile.

"Ok." Robin narrowed her eyes and shrugged a little. "Come on then, we're going to eat."

When Zoro and Robin arrived at the dining room it was almost full. There were two seats empty next to Luffy so they sat there. Sanji was chatting and serving food with the cook of Red Hair Pirates. Sanji was running left and right serving everyone. Everyone was laughing, eating and drinkin and getting drunk. The meal was very good and everyone was full especially he didn't slept after he ate like always he was too excited to. He was jumping up and down telling about their adventures to Shanks.

It was a fine evening and in the end Shanks, Yasopp and Benn went to Luffy's ship and continues the night there. Luffy was sitting next to Shanks jumping on his seat talking about his adventures, Sanji was really drunk, Zoro and Nami were competing who could drink more sake, Usopp was next to his dad talking about his adventures (not liein) and listening to his dad's adventures, Benn and Robin was talking. OF corse everyone was having a really fun time and was really happy. The sounds of their laughs were echoing through the island. After a while Sanji was sleepig somewhere in the kitchen, Nami and Zoro sleeping on their chairs but Usopp was still talking to his dad and Luffy and Shanks were talking with them, Robin and Benn were mostly quiet.

"Dad, can you come with us?" Usopp asked, blushing a little.

"I'm sorry, I can't. But it's nice to see you after such a long time."

"You, too..." Usopp hugged Yasopp and Yasopp was surprised for a second but immedeatly hugged him back. Usopp felt a tear run down his cheek and wiped it away with the back of his hand and mumbled. "I can't cry... Not infront of him..."

"Usopp... it's not bad to cry." Yasopp pulled him back and nodded a little to him with a small smile. Usopp wiped his nose and nodded. He hugged him back and let the tears roll down his cheeks.

"Shanks, I don't want to leave you, but I don't want to abandon my nakama, too. What should I do?"

"Luffy... You can't abandon your nakama just because you met me. It's not that easy... And I don't allow you to do such thing. I would never forgive myself if I was the reason for you to leave these friends of yours." He gestured towards the rest of the ship and Luffy looked a tthem and smiled his goofy smile.

"I couldn't leave them any way!" He declared. And stood up but sat down immedeatly to hug Shanks. Shanks hugged him back.

"We have to go now, Luffy. But I will see you in the morning."

"No... Don't leave..."

"I have to, and you know it..."

"Yeah..." Luffy murmured and hugged him more tightly. "Uh... By the way... Do you want your hat back?" Luffy pulled apart and put his hand on his hat.

"No."

"But I said I would give it back."

"You're not the Pirate King and I wouldn't take it back anyway. You're going to understand this in the future but I want you to give the hat to a kid like you."

"Why? Didn't you loved your hat?" Luffy tilted his head.

"I did... And I still do, but you are more important."

Luffy's eyes were full of tears now, and he hugged Shanks one more time, burying his head in his chest and crying. They stayed like that. When Luffy stopped crying Shanks got upand walked to Yasopp, he poked his shoulder and gestured him to get up.

"Come on, Benn! We should go!" Shanks shouted.

"It was a pleasure meeting you..." Benn said while getting up.

"Same here." Robin answered also getting up.

"No, no, no... PLease don't go dad! Please! Don't leave me again! Please!"

"I have to go... But I'll see you in the morning to say goodbye.

"OK... Goodbye,dad..." Usopp hugged him one more time but it was fast. He backed up andshook his dad's hand. "See you later." Yasopp smiled and pulled him into another hug, and patted his head.

"See you later."

Soon Shanks and the others left and the Mugiwara crew was sound asleep, except Luffy who was at watch since he couldn't sleep. He kept replaying tonights events in his head. He was really happy, really really happy.

He fell asleep looking at Shanks' ship when the sun was coming out. It was the most peaceful time of the day and he was so realxed meeting Shanks and his crew and the sound of the waves throughout the night made him really sleepy. He gave into the urge to sleep when he saw someone wake up at his ship.

I hope you like it, and I am so sorry for being this late! Please forgive me! See you later! Please review and favourite.
