Hat
Shanks 'Red Hair' one of the infamous Youkou and an apprentice pirate from the Jolly Rogers Pirate crew could only recall three times in his life when he was absolutely terrified to the point where his mind would go blank for a few moments. One of those times was when he saw Luffy being dropped in the ocean by the bandit Higuma then Higuma being eaten by the 'Lord of the Coast' leaving Luffy to either sink to the bottom of the ocean and drown or to be eaten by the sea king, after the whole sea king incident was another time that he remembered being scared of for Ace Luffy's older brother had found out what happened with the bandits, sea king, and the devil fruit Shanks had quickly left after he was sure Luffy would be safe because of his fear of Ace's wrath, the latest time he can remember of being that scared was when Ben told him that they where out of the wonderful healing water that was sake that scare was quickly remedied though so he really had experienced two great scares in his life.
He at the present could now claim to have three great moments of fright all caused somehow by the trouble finding kid he had left with his straw hat all those years ago. For he had just seen said straw hat on another's head, and not just any others but on the head of one Eustass 'Captain' Kidd who was at present coatless.
"Captain, what's wrong? Shanks?" His first mate and loyal friend Ben Beckman was by now waving a hand in front of his face to get him out of his obvious zoning.
Shanks could only point a shaky finger at the younger captain with a few forced out words. "Luffy. Straw hat. Not together."
Ben Beckman scratched his head while he listened to his frozen captain honestly the only other time he had seen his captain like this was when he had seen Luffy in danger, Ace coming, and when they where out of sake. He sighed once more before looking the way his captain was pointing before he to froze up, there was one of the so called Supernovas, the only one to have a higher bounty then Luffy's, wearing the straw hat that his captain had lent to Luffy who would never let anyone else wear it. Ben made his way closer to the hat thief dragging his captain with him in hopes of hearing what was being said.
"Killer! Where the hell did he go?"
"I don't know, probably to a restaurant to get some food."
"That idiot, I told him to meet me here, his hat is messing up my hair."
"You just want your coat back."
Shanks had by the time the two had finished arguing had collected himself and was now staring at Kidd strangely. He was meeting Luffy? Luffy had his coat? How where the two connected anyway? Were just some of the questions rushing through his mind. Shanks was about to go and demand the answers to his question from the younger red head when a bouncing messy haired teen came up behind the current straw hat wearer and gave him a hug that almost caused then both to fall to the ground.
"Kidd! I finally found you, you weren't where you said you where going to be."
"Luffy, we agreed to meet here, where did you go? And give me back my coat!"
"Ahh, well I first checked out this one restaurant that had a ton of bounties on the wall, the owner said he was collecting them, then I went to this one place I don't know how I got there but I saw Zoro! Then after going there I walked around trying to find you but you weren't anywhere! So I found Nami and asked her if she knew were you where and she guided me here then left saying you owe her 30,000 belli by the way, and adding that to the stuff you already owe her you now have a debt of 100,000,000 belli! Also, but I like your coat….. And I let you wear my hat!"
"How the hell did that witch come up with that number!?!? And why the hell do I owe her when it was you who needed her help?"
"Well, she said something about me forgetting to pay he back either way and that she could most likely trick more money out of you then the rest of us."
Kidd stared at Luffy for a moment in tense silence before he sighed and took off the straw hat, "Here, just give me my coat back."
Luffy smiled brightly before quickly removing the coat and handing it over to the gloomy red head and taking back his hat. "Thanks for watching Hat for me by the way. Well I got to go, the Log Pose is set and Sanji and Brook found Zoro so we're leaving." With that, a quick hug, and an equally quick kiss Straw-Hat Luffy bounded out of sight.
Shanks stared at the exchange before blinking and staring at Kidd then blinking then staring. "What just happened?"
"I think Luffy's made a new friend."
If anyones wondering the reason why Kidd had Luffy's hat and vice cersa with Kidd's coat is because they had a race to the current island, childsh no?
