Unbelievable News!!

The Straw Hat Captain has made his debut! The King has returned.

A sudden hush had enveloped the entire world, but we all had not expected the King of The Pirates to have posted a picture on a famous social media platform called "Facebook".

Many people have started the #King'sReturn tag on Twitter as well.

We all know and learned as children what this kind young man had done for us in the past. So, we speak for all that we wish for the Straw Hats to live happily once more!

"Shishishi! These people are nice!" Zoro jumped from his seat; he was listening to the polite news reporter on screen. He was glad they had television in the Hair Salon. His captain was apparently quietly sitting down next to him when he suddenly giggled.

"Luffy?! When did you- Never mind..." The green-haired man sagged. He wasn't wrong though, there were more and more kind and polite people in this literal 'Shinsekai' (New World). They technically don't have proof that Luffy made the reincarnation possible but they all knew they wanted another lifetime with Luffy by their side again.

Had other people desired that as well?

The first mate shook his head, "Where's the girls?" Luffy smiled and had his phone out; he was face-timing Ace and Sabo. Who were dealing with the girls.

"Hey, Zoro! Heard you dyed your hair?" Ace greeted him while trying to control the wild little girl known as Sunny, Merry was being so polite with Sabo in the background.

"Hello!!!" "Hi Zoro-san!" The girls waved at him, although Sunny was still trying to get away from Ace and look for Luffy.

"He is! He's almost done, I went over here so I could pay for him!" Luffy grabbed his wallet from his pocket, "OI! I SAID WE'D BOTH PAY!!"

"NO, SIT DOWN AND LET ME PAY!" The first mate quietly held Luffy's phone and sat back down in submission. Okay, follow captain's orders...

The group that was face-timing them was howling with laughter at the previous proceeding. Zoro reminds himself to laugh at their demise when they accidently make the captain yell at them.

"Yes...? Yeah, the news is talking about me. How much do I have to pay? That much? Okay, in cash!" Luffy finished with the payment, Zoro only observed from his seat. Looking relaxed although... He was alert, guarding over his captain once more.

The captain and first mate left the salon, satisfied.

Meanwhile...

"OH MY GOD, IT'S HIM!!" The manager had squealed out.

"I TOUCHED HIS HAND, HE GAVE ME MONEYYYYY!!!!" A male worker freaked out; he swore to never wash his hands again... Or maybe not sanitize them... He'd still do both but he will never forget that warm touch.

"HE WAS TECHNICALLY PAYING FOR HIS FIRST MATE SINC EHE'S PART OF HIS CREW BUT IT'S STILL SO SWEET!!" A female worker cried out; it was all sweet! Their interaction, how the first mate looked at the captain as if he was ready to throw himself in harm's way so he wouldn't get hurt.

The workers gushed and fangirled hard. They might want to sign up for the Barto Club though.

Luffy scrolled through the messages happily, Nami invited him into the 'group chat' as it was called; they were all making a big deal out of Sunny's picture. Franky even texted that he'd have to talk to her afterwards.
