Chapter four

It had been several weeks since Harry had first meet Shanks; several rather interesting weeks at that. Ones where Harry had managed to learn even more about the world that was now around him.

Not to mention got a better outline of what needed to be done for both Luffy and himself, if they wanted to even attempt to make their dreams come true by some of Shank's crew. Most of which seemed to think his questions to be adorable more than anything else but had been willing to answer him for the most part none the less.

Currently both Luffy and him where heading towards Shanks ship; to greet him for the morning once again. Though at the moment Harry would admit he was a little more worried about what was going to happen when they got there than the actual greeting.

Mainly because Luffy had been smiling since they had left his house that morning, and because Luffy had told Harry that he had something planned for when they got to Shanks's ship. Something that would supposedly make Shank's want to take them out with his crew despite all his other refusals; however teasing they may have been.

This combined with the growing dread he was still feeling caused Harry to be slightly jumpy. Because he had long since learned that when Luffy was smiling like that, and when his instincts were screaming at him like they were, something bad was going to happen; most likely with Luffy doing something most would deem stupid at that.

It had happened before one multiple occasions and Harry had learned to recognize that feeling if only so he could attempt to stop what ever was going to happen. Unfortunately, seeing as Harry had no idea just what Luffy was planning on doing and couldn't think of anything that would do even slow said boy down, Harry was left with that feeling as well as the mental promise to himself find a way to fix that. Especially if something bad did happen like he was fearing it was.

Once they got to Shanks's ship Harry found out that he was correct to be suspicious of what Luffy was planning; as well as having a reason to be as jumpy as he was becoming because of said feeling. This was because Luffy, with no warning, or at least no warning to Harry, started shouting about proving it all to them before he took a dagger and cut below his eye.

Harry seeing began to rush over to where Luffy was; worried about the person he was seriously starting to think of as a brother. And this was while both worrying of his health as well as his mentality; something Harry got the feeling, with a growing sense of dread, that he would be doing a lot of.

Only to stop and sweat drop, as he watched the scene in front of him. As Luffy cried out that it hurt and as Shanks danced around him worried. That is until Luffy stopped saying it hurt and began to laugh. Hearing this laughter Shanks stopped dancing around and started shouting at Luffy; in an obviously concerned, though angry, tone.

"THIS ISN'T FUNNY! YOU SHOULDN'T DO SUCH STUIPED THINGS…" By then Harry started to tune Shanks out because it became obvious to anyone watching that Luffy wasn't listening. Instead, Harry decided to watch Luffy to see what he was going to do next, and to see if he could stop him from doing something stupid; yet again. Sadly, he wasn't able to, and all Harry could do was watch with twitching eyes as Luffy started shouting again.

"I'm not afraid of a little pain! I'll show you, bring me out on your ship! I'll be a Pirate too!" After this was said Harry felt the twitch in his eye get even worse. Because he knew Luffy had planned this from the beginning.

Which seriously made him want to go over there and strangle his friend or perhaps find some way to beat some sense in to his thick head. But Harry stopped himself from doing so, no matter how satisfying it would be, and instead he smiled before telling Luffy in the sweetest tone he could muster at the moment.

"Luufffffy….." Luffy hearing this nervously laughed as he scratched the back of his head before turning back to Shanks and in the utmost serious tone said.

"Oh, and Harry too." Harry as this was said felt his eye twitch evolve into a full body twitch and before he could stop himself, he was up screaming at Luffy; shark's teeth and all. Much to the amusement of Shanks and his crew, who were now rolling on the sand laughing.

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT LUFFY!" Luffy at this simply blinked and pointed at Harry, completely missing his point, as he cheerful pointed out.

"Hey, did you know you had shark's teeth just then." This renewed the laughter from Shanks and his crew. While it caused Harry to simply sigh and say to Luffy. Already feeling a migraine, which again was a feeling Harry knew was going to be achingly familiar with in the upcoming years, forming; even as he started speaking.

"Why don't we just go down to Makino's bar so she can fix up your cut?" But apparently Luffy wasn't listening to him. Instead, he was back arguing with Shanks; trying to prove to him he was ready to be a pirate.

"I've been training really hard my punch is as strong as a pistol fire now!" Harry felt his migraine get even stronger as he heard this and as he heard Shanks taunt Luffy back. He started rubbing the bridge of his nose; hoping to ease away some of the pain he was feeling.

Sadly, it really didn't work, and Harry was left to listen to Luffy and Shanks as they continued their silly little argument all the way down to Makino's bar. And even if there was a small smile on his face, Harry would deny he enjoyed it despite the headache he had; really he would.

Harry's eye no longer twitched and migraine he had gotten because of Luffy was finally starting to disappear as he watched, as well as laughed, as Luffy and Shanks continued with their actions.

Luffy saying he was ready to go out to sea and be a pirate. While Shanks taunting and teasingly told him that he wasn't. Harry found himself laughing even harder than ever as Shanks tricked Luffy in to drinking a glass of juice, before telling him no real pirate would drink it. All and all being around them was completely hilarious.

Thinking on this and after watching Luffy pout for a bit Harry walked over to where Luffy was sitting, before sitting beside him; still laughing. That is when he noticed that Luffy had something in both of his hands.

Seeing this Harry became suspicious, because he knew his brother and his habit of always getting into trouble. Knowing this, and getting a rather strange feeling in his gut, Harry quickly asked Luffy.

"Just what do you have in your hands?"

This question earned him a large grin from Luffy as said boy showed him the two fruits that were now in his hands. Though these fruits where unlike anything Harry had ever seen before, and that was even with the rather strange things he had been seeing lately since he had first appeared here in what Harry was comfortable call his new world.

Such as tigers, lions and bears larger than anything he had ever heard about back in his old world, along with the monstrous snake like being that the locals called a Seaking just off the shore.

When it came to the fruits in question, the one in Luffy's left hand looked like a bright violet ball, which was larger than an orange but smaller than a melon, with a short thick circular steam on the top; as well as multiple this cursive looking S's all over said fruit.

The one in Luffy's right hand looked like an almost multipoint star that was about the size of an adult fist. The fruit was also pitch black in color all over, except for the very center where there was a bright burst of red; almost flame like in shape. Along with that, the fruit in question also had a vine like steam that halfway up the vine spit into multiple different vines; all of which circled around the fruit that was holding it; as if protecting said fruit. Not to mention Harry as he looked closer to the fruit could see that it had similar s shapes on it that the earlier fruit did but in a color so close to the original color of the fruit that it was actual hard to see them.

Luffy seeing Harry looking at the fruits in his hands, or to be more specifically seeing him looking at the multipoint star shaped fruit in utter fascination. Handed him the fruit in his right hand and told Harry; while still wearing what Harry had quickly come to realize was his signature grin.

"I found these fruits over there and then I realize I was hungry, so I grabbed them. One for me and one for you to cause I'm sure you're hungry as well. After all, you didn't eat breakfast this morning, same as me." As Luffy said this Harry turned the fruit that was in his hand over before looking at Luffy who looked ready to devour the other fruit.

Seeing this Harry sighed and brought the fruit to his mouth for a bite. After all, Luffy was right he was rather hunger since he hadn't been able to eat breakfast this morning. Mostly because Luffy had been so eager to leave this morning and hadn't given him a chance to. Not that he had thought he would have been able to get anything down with how nervous he had been earlier anyway.

The very second Harry bite into the fruit he instantly regretted it and wanted nothing more than to spit the horrible tasting fruit out. And that was even with his reluctance to waste any type of food after years of being starved of it in the first place.

Which, he would have done, if an agonizing pain hadn't made itself known in his stomach just after he took a bit of said fruit. Causing his whole body to almost cramp in some way as it forced him to swallow the putrid fruit that was in his mouth. Making it so he actually couldn't spit it out as he had intended.

This Harry found wasn't a good thing in the least bit. As it made the pain he had been feeling, even worse than it already had been as soon as he had swallowed. As he fell to the ground clutching his stomach and choking slightly as he tried to get rid of the little bit of fruit that remained in his mouth; the small amount he hadn't been forced to swallow that is. As this happened Harry was dimly aware of two voices; one calling his name the other shouting something to Luffy.

As the pain began to fade down a bit, Harry slowly uncurled himself from the position he had curled himself into when the pain in his stomach had crawled its way through his entire body. Once he did this, Harry immediately noticed that he was in Makino's lap, and she was running a hand through his hair in a soothing motion.

Blinking at this, Harry looked around to see just what was going on, only to feel his ears pin back when Makino squealed. Harry then blinked and thought on just what happened; his ears had pinned back?

Slowly dreading what he'd find Harry reached his hands up to the top of his head and nearly screamed when he found a pair of pointed furry ears there; those most certainly hadn't been there before.

Jumping up and rushing over to the nearest mirror Harry did make a small sound of protest when he saw what had happened to him. Including just why his ears could now suddenly pin themselves back.

Because there standing in the mirror, where his reflection was supposed to be, was himself, but that self had dark red fox ears on the top of his head and two of the same colored tails right above his tail bone. Not only that, but his eyes seemed to have gained slits, while his nails looked to be filed to a point.

Seeing this Harry closed his eyes and pinched himself lightly, before opening his eyes back up; hoping what he was seeing in the mirror was wrong. Sadly, after he opened his eyes back up, he found himself still seeing the same thing he had before, Harry knew that it wasn't a dream.

Swallowing heavily because of this fact, Harry paled before spinning around to see if the tails that he saw in his reflection were really there. Seeing once again, and proving without a doubt, that he had tails Harry took a deep breath. Before turning back to face the people who were now watching him and in an oddly calm sounding tone asked.

"What happened to me? Last thing I remember was eating that fruit Luffy gave me then a burning pain going through my body; starting at my stomach." After this was said Luffy rushed forward and gave Harry a big hug, while crying out.

"I'm sorry Harry, I didn't know that would happen I am so sorry!" This caused Harry's eyes to widen slightly as he looked at Luffy with a 'what the hell look', before turning to the others with a questioning look in his eyes. Shanks seeing this and seeing that Luffy most likely wasn't going to explain it further then he already had decided to tell Harry what had happened himself; feeling a bit guilty at the same time.

"The fruit Luffy gave you was called a devils fruit. These fruits give who ever eats them a special power, what depends on just which fruit is eaten, but in return for these powers the person who eats a devil fruit will never be able to swim again. Their muscles will simple freeze up and they will be unable to move the second they enter the water... well standing water at least. Rain and waves wouldn't really cause you any harm; unless you are in standing water… like say falling in a pool or the ocean. So, showers are good, but not things like hot tubs or baths are a no go." Hearing this and the real warning that Shanks was giving them Harry nodded in understanding, as he continued to listen to what Shanks was saying.

"I believe that the fruit you ate was called the Kitsune Kitsune fruit. Which would give you the powers of a kitsune or at least that is what I believe. What exactly this entitles I am not completely sure seeing as there are stories of kitsunes having plenty of different powers depending on just what type of kitsune it is. So, you're going to have to figure a lot of that out on your own…though I am sure you can get help from Luffy on the others in that regard." Here there was a slight pause as Shanks debated on what to say next, before continuing on.

"While Luffy on the other hand ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi which gave him the powers of a rubber man; meaning his entire body is made completely of rubber." Shanks after saying this waited for Harry's reaction.

Shanks didn't have to wait long because only seconds after he heard what had happened to him Harry calmly walked over to where Luffy was. Which was only a couple of feet away from him, before slapped him one the back of the head; causing the unprepared Luffy to fall flat on his face. Once he did this Harry in an almost completely monotone voice told Luffy; a hint of amusement being heard as he did so.

"I should have known that if I started hanging out with you, your crazy streak of luck would have rubbed of one me…not sure if that is a good or a bad thing yet." There was a minute of silence after this was said before everyone bust out in laughter; relieved that Harry wasn't angry at Luffy in the least bit.

Knowing this, Shanks and his crew started joking and drinking again. While Luffy on the other hand, went back to attempting to get Shanks to let him go with them the next time they left. Seeing this Harry rolled his eyes and reach a finger up to trace his new ears; not sure if he liked them or not.

A good hour had passed since Harry had first woken up after eating the Kitsune Kitsune fruit and the numbness from the shock he had been feeling when he first woke up was starting to fade away.

That's when the door to Makino's bar slammed open; letting in a large group of mountain bandits. None of which looked really friendly to Harry's eyes; especially not the one Harry thought was the leader of the gang. Speaking of which, said bandit stepped toward Makino, making Harry growl slightly as he did so, and demanded.

"We are bandits. Where here for ten barrels of sake!" Makino hearing this only shook her head and in an apologetic tone told the bandits in front of her.

"I'm so sorry but we are out of sake." Harry got the feeling that the bandits weren't going to like this or believe it for that matter. This feeling was proven correct when the one that really got Harry hackles up sarcastic said.

"Oh? That's strange then what are they drinking? Is it water?"

While pointing toward Shanks and his crew. Makino seeing this only shook her head again as she once again in an apologetic tone, remaining politer that Harry would have in her shoes, told the bandits

"It's sake, but that's all we have." Shanks having been listening in while all of this was going on looked up at the bandit at the bandit at this point before telling him in a friendly tone.

"I'm sorry, looks like we've finished all the sake that's here." Shanks then held up a bottle of sake that he and his crew had not opened yet.

"Sorry about that. Here, if you don't mind take the last bottle."

Hearing this Harry once again got the feeling that the bandit wouldn't like that and once again this feeling was proven a hundred percent true when the leading bandit hit the bottle out of Shanks hand while screaming out.

"One Bottle isn't enough! Do you have any idea who I am?"

Harry hearing this couldn't help but snort getting the feeling Shanks didn't care. Yet at the same time wonder why Shanks wasn't doing anything in the first place and if the looks Luffy was giving everyone he seemed to be wondering the same thing.

Seeing this look on Luffy's face and knowing that he is about to blow Harry bit his lip and went back to watching the bandit and Shanks interact; hoping that it didn't get any worse. Or that Shanks would do something soon. Sadly, that didn't happen, and things did get worse when all Shanks did was look at the spilt sake on the floor and say in a good-humored tone.

"Oh no- Now the floor is all wet."

This causal statement and the fact he was, again, being ignored cause the bandit to redden slightly in anger as he looked at Shanks. It was then that the bandit pulled out something out of his front pocket; from what Harry could see it was a bounty paper of some sort.

"See this? My head is worth eight million beli. I'm one of the prime fugitives here. And I've killed 56 people before, you cocky bastard. Now that you know who I am, don't mess with us again. After all, mountain bandits and sea pirates don't mingle very well."

Harry hearing this felt his eyebrow raise. Yes, that was bad for a bandit in the east blue, but if the stories Garp had told him and Luffy meant anything, it wasn't really much for a pirate; at least the bounty really wasn't. This was proven to Harry when Shanks continued to ignore the bandit and instead turned toward Makino and asked her.

"Sorry about the mess, Makino do you have a mop?" This caused Makino to jump slightly before blushing lightly and muttering out.

"Ah... It's alright. I'll clean it up!"

Finding himself ignored for the third time seemed to be too much for the bandit, because he sure as hell looked beyond pissed to Harry, as he swung his sword against the counter; destroying most of the empty bottles and plates on said counter as he did so.

Though even as he saw this, and saw how angry the bandit was, Harry couldn't help but think what a drama queen; as well as being strongly and unpleasantly reminded of his cousin when he threw a tantrum. Thinking on this for a bit, Harry shook his head and tuned back in on the confrontation going on in front of him. Just in time to see all the Mouton bandits storming out.

The second they were gone Makino, who was next to Shanks, looking him over; checking him over for broken glass. While she was doing this Harry was watching Luffy; who looked ready to blow at any moment. The explosive look on his face only got worse as Shanks and his crew started joking around about what had just happened; acting as if it had all been a joke. This went on for a minute before Harry knew Luffy could take it no longer.

"WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING…" Hearing Luffy begin to explode Harry decided to leave; knowing Luffy would be leave soon as well. He had a pretty good idea why Shanks and his crew had acted the way they did, and he was sure Luffy would be able to figure it out soon as well; if he sat down and thought about it for a bit.

Beside he really wanted to be alone right now so he could think about everything that had just happened; especially about what he had learned about the devil fruit he had eaten. After all he apparently became a new creature, with unknown abilities, as well as lost him ability to swim, something he never really got the chance to actually do, in just one quick moment.

And all without much of a choice either as he hadn't known about the fruit Luffy had offered him in the first place. Once more reminding Harry how important knowledge, especially knowledge about the world around him, could be.
