Luffy listens carefully to the words of the adults around him, keeping his smile on his face while they spoke. He understood a little more thanks to Dadan and her family.
The child nodded his thanks to the adults of the city and hurries out of the shop, back into the street. He makes his way to a large alley when he left his precious treasure.
"Little Ace," Luffy greets the baby boy behind the box where he placed him, "Look what Luffy has for you!"
"Lu!" Ace calls happily at the sight of him, he quickly stands and hugs the older child.
"Here!" Luffy said handing Ace a whale toy, "It really soft!"
Letting go of Luffy, Ace takes the blue and white soft toy then hugs it just as tight as he had done the five old year.
"Luffy knows how to made baby food now!" Luffy explains to the child, even though he did not look his way, "The adults in the other shop showed me!"
Luffy glances towards the backpack on his back, he had filled it with things he needed to make the food. He had found adults who had babies of their own and kept on asking what to do, at last he found some willing to help him learn.
"Good thing Luffy gets money from animal hide," Luffy said happily, Ace still was not listening, having far to much fun with his new toy, "Tanning an animal was one of the first things Grandpa showed Luffy after his first kill."
Luffy looks down at his charge.
"When Little Ace runs fast," Luffy says grinning, "Luffy will teach him how to skin and tan an animal as well!"
Luffy walks over to the baby and easily picks him off the ground and carries him, like he weight nothing.
"Hunting and gathering are important as well," Luffy told him as they head for the city gates, "Luffy will show Little Ace this."
"Lu!" The child cries out joyfully, pushing the whale into his face, making him close one eye,"Lu!"
"This fish is calls a whale! A whale!" Luffy says grinning pass the soft toy.
"Whale! Whale!" Ace laughs, waving his arms in the air. He then began hugging it again.
"Shishishishishi!" Luffy laughs to himself, happy that Ace was happy.
Luffy blinks up at the gate, he walks through and came out where a large pile of rubbish was. Luffy then took of running fast, he hops from broken wooden wall to bent metal railing to the highest place on the tip.
This was another training menu Luffy set himself, jump from high spot to high spot of the rubbish piles.
"Luffy will become strong!" Luffy yells with a wide grin, he leaps using his whole strength to carry himself and Ace each time.
