Chapter Four
"So that's what happened," Shayne said as the three of them sat around a table at a restaurant.
"Yep that's basically the gist of it," the man said. (I'm just gonna name him Bob now.) "When he was little a group of pirates came and kidnapped him and his brother on this island. A little while later they had no use for him and left him here. His brother said hell come back here eventually, but well, that has yet to happen. And it's been five years since."
"Really, so he's waiting for his brother," Shayne said. "I want him on my crew!"
"You really think after what happened to him he'll join us Shayne!" Mia said.
"Yeah, there's no way he'll join you. He hates pirates," Bob said. "Say how 'bout this," Bob began, "if you get him to join you, I'll give you a free boat."
"Really dude! You'll give us a boat!" Shayne yelled. After that Shayne went running out to find him.
"Are you really gonna do this?" Mia asked.
"We'll I'm tired of him just sitting there doing nothing everyday. And he might get to see his brother sooner this way," Bob said.
"Hm, I see."

The next day Kan was out there standing on the pier. Shayne came out and walked over towards him. "Kan join my crew!" He shouted out.
Kan turned around. "What do you mean, join your crew?"
"Join my pirate crew." Shayne said.
"Never," Kan said as he turned around looking out towards the ocean.
"What do you mean never?" Shayne asked.
"I hate pirates. I want nothing to do with them."
"C'mon if you go with us you might find your brother faster." Shayne tried bribing him.
"How do you know about that?!" Kan yelled turning around again.
"Bob told me," was Shayne's response.
"Hm, so he must have also told you I have a devil fruit as well. That's the only reason you want me to join."
"What you have a devil fruit?" Shayne asked shocked. "He said he was gonna give me a boat."
"Yes I have a devil fruit. What do think the markings on my face are for? I ate the shock-shock fruit. I can control electricity," he said.
"That's so cool! Now I really want you to join my crew!" Shayne yelled.
"NO!" Kan yelled back, walking away from him.
"Hey where you going?"
"Away from you!"

Later that day Kan ended up by the pier again looking out. "So what you waiting for?" Mia asked walking up to him.
He turned around. "So he send you to convince me to eh?" He asked.
"You know you should give him a chance. He's not like those other pirates. He just likes you and wants to be your friend." She said.
"Really, say what's your crew like?" Kan asked. "Just wondering."
"Well if you join you'll be are third member." She said with a small smile forming on her lips.
"Your third member? You mean it's only you two?" He asked, shocked.
"Yep," she said.
"I can see why he wants me to join now."
"So will you?" She asked.
"Hm, I'll think about it."

Later that evening Shayne and Mia were walking through the town. "So I wonder if he'll join us?" Shayne asked.
"He said he'll think about it," Mia said.
"So I take it your conversation went well with him then," Shayne asked.
"We'll sorta."
Then they heard running behind them. They turned around and saw it was Kan. "Hey you two!" He shouted, and was panting heavily. "Let me join you guys!"
"Really you'll join us?!" Shayne asked excitedly.
"Yeah," he said regaining his composure. "But only because I want to look for my brother."
"Fine then I'll let you, " Shayne said.
