Chapter Seven
''That flag...'' Kid squinted his eyes to get a clearer view of it (but couldn't you have widened it instead?).
''Red Hair Pirates,'' Apoo said. ''What are they doing here in East Blue?''
''They're heading here no less,'' Capone said. ''This means Straw Hat Luffy have known Red Hair Shanks since childhood.''
Their guesses proven right.
Red Force, the name of the ship, docked on the only available port of the peaceful village. Its captain gone down on thee ground and met the mayor, Woop Slap. Of course the captain was none other than the yonko, Red Haired Shanks.
They seemingly talked about something. The old man seemed to be... angry or was that disapproval? Well, either of the two but the young red head didn't seem to be fazed.
''Don't worry,'' Shanks said. ''We'll cause no trouble for the rest of the duration we stay here. We just need a temporary base for the mean time. Besides, we know who's protecting this village...''
''...'' disapproval never left the mayor's face but, he gave in to the pirate's request eventually...
... And a year had passed without a hitch. A year which bored the Novas and gave some... diabetes to some.
''... I swear, if I hadn't known much,'' Kid growled. ''I would have thought Shanks and Straw Hat were father and son...''
''I guess I should say,'' Law began. '' Now I knew why he acted like that. ''
''Huh?'' Apoo kind of asked.
''Well,'' Law shrugged. ''I've noticed he acts like Shanks and yeah?''
''You're the only one who spent a long time with Straw Hat,'' Drake said.
''I realized.''
Shanks and the others were out. Luffy had to bored on those days but hey! Those weird old men were there too. Though strange that no one sees them and just pass through them... Like they were a bunch of ghosts which is cool!
I wonder if they'll teach me how to do that...
For sometime now, he wanted to approach them and get to know more. But he couldn't get a time or place which he could do that without looking crazy in front others.
Though they have been watching them... or more specifically, him (he knew by gut feeling), he somehow knew they meant no harm which was why he hadn't said a thing to the adults.
Besides, they were fun to watch sometimes too... When they're sorta fighting with each other, the one with the cool arm would always blow like a volcano and the one with weird... tattoos (he asked Makino how to call those that!) seemed cool to him some how. Maybe that's because he looked like a badass..?
''Luffy? Are you okay? You're silent today...'' Makino asked worriedly.
''Just thinking...'' the boy said subconsciously.
Law gasped. ''He's capable of doing that?! I thought he was only a dork who punches people.''
''I heard that you jerk!'' Luffy turned and exclaimed at Law.
''Lu... ffy?'' Makino stopped what she was doing.
Luffy pouted. ''... N-nothing!''
... Badass and a jerk he was.
I tried! Though my brain wanted to end here, wanting to let the world know how Luffy thought of Law as a badass jerk.
