Chapter Ten

''Why? Doesn't that idiot have self-preservation?!'' Bonney exclaimed as they watched the boy got stepped on by the super weak bandit leader.

''... That's not a question anymore, really,'' Law said. ''What I'm surprised more is that he hadn't died till the present.''

''Apologize!'' Luffy growled. ''You mountain ape!''

Higuma's vein popped. ''Forget selling you. I'm killing you now.''

''It's talent,'' Kid said. ''It's talent I tell you.''

''Luffy!'' Makino shouted.

''Please forgive him!'' the mayor exclaimed.

''Well,'' Urogue said. ''Worry not! Our yonko's here...''

''Who's worrying?!'' Law, Bonney, Kid snapped at him. Killer said nothing but twitched.

''I didn't say anything,'' Urogue said. ''That was implied to them. Sheesh. Secretly kid-Luffy loving captains... '' he mumbled the last part, shaking his head.

They glared at him as catching a bit of it.

''Nobody came to us at the harbor,'' Shanks began. ''I was wondering what had happened...'' he turned to the boy on the ground. ''Luffy, I thought your punch is as strong as a pistol?''

''Shut up!'' Luffy shouted.

''It's you pirates. Taking a day off from your cleaning duties?'' the bandits laughed. Higuma continued, ''I don't know what you want but back off. Any more closer and we'll have to kill you cowards!''

But Shanks continued to walk towards them.

''He said not to get closer,'' said a bandit, pointing a gun at Shank's head.

''You're putting your line by pointing that at me,'' Shanks said.

''Huh?'' the bandit said, confused.

''I'm saying that it's not safe to point that gun at me,'' Shanks said.

Lucky took the liberty to shoot at him whilst eating a piece of meat.

All people gasped minus the pirates. Bandits, then, blabbered shits such as the unfairness.

''You're not dealing with saints here,'' Ben Beckman, the first mate, said. He held a rifle on his hand. ''I'll deal with this, captain.''

Shanks gave a silent agreement. Ben began bashing the bandits' heads with the handle of his weapon.

Higuma became overwhelmed and escaped with Luffy.

''As expected with the weakest sea,'' Drake said as they watched Shanks panic, his crew mates calming him down.

''... I've never seen a yonko acting like this,'' Capone said, surprised.

They, then, felt a tug on their part. They looked at each other and nodded. They all headed towards the sea.

''We're not going to drown, are we?'' Bonney asked.

''Who knows,'' Law said.

Hawkins took the first jump and surprisingly, he was able to stand up the sea.

''How curious,'' he said.

The rest, then, followed. They all saw the boy struggling to stay up for long. All ran towards him.

''Help!'' they heard him whimper. He noticed them.

''Everyone!'' Luffy struggled to stay up. ''Are you walking on the water?! Cool!'' he said, distracted, causing him to sink down.

Law face palmed. ''It's not the right time yet he did- Urogue-ya! Grab him up.''

''On it!'' the mad monk said. He grabbed the boy, keeping him from sinking fast.

''That's not just the problem,'' Drake said. ''A sea king's coming to our way.''

''A sea king in East Blue?'' Capone raised a brow.

Shanks, then, came in their way. Grabbing Luffy, holding him on his chest. ''Get lost,'' he said, glaring at the sea king.

They all somewhat knew what happened. Despite not feeling it.

''Conqueror's haki, huh...'' Kid said.

That day they all witnessed a moment, the start of Luffy's road to piracy...

''A promise, huh?'' Law began as they stared at the straw hat on the kid's head.

Sorry for skipping details. It's to troublesome to right everything from the manga. I'm just a lazy, worthless kid in the society.
