-Into the story-

Luffy turned to Shanks and gave him a sad smile, then he spoke up.

"I'll tell you later. Let's go to your ship first, and, Shanks, you need to let Hongo check your wound, before we can go."

After Luffy finished, Hongo had already come to Shanks and checked his wound. Shanks still had his eyes on the boy in front of him, there were so many things he wanted to ask Luffy. East Blue was the weakest sea, there was no way Luffy could learn Haki by himself or let alone be taught by someone else. Garp didn't come to this island often, so the old man didn't have enough time to teach the boy about Haki. But the way Luffy used it, he had used Haki for years. There was no doubt that Luffy also knew the other two types of Haki. But he couldn't ask anything now, so he waited until they reached the Red Force, then he would ask him. After Hongo was done, Shanks, with a bandage around his head, turned in Yasopp's direction and commanded

"Yasopp ties those guys up, so we can go."

Then Luffy also said

"Bring them along with us, too."

This made some adults curious, so Ben asked Luffy.

"What do you want to do with them?"

Luffy didn't reply immediately. He just looked at all the pirates, then smiled and said with a cheerful tone.

"Just wait and you'll see."

Everyone suddenly felt scared of a seven-year-old child. Suddenly, Lucky Roux yelled out.

"IT'S GONE, I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE. THE DEVIL FRUIT IS GONE"

Another shocking piece of news for the pirates. They were sure that their brains would do some damage because of this news. First, Luffy decided to have a cool scar, then the same boy just knocked the bandits out with his Haki. Now they have just lost the most valued treasure. How great that was.

"Oh the purple fruit?" Luffy asked.

This got Lucky's attention, so he asked

"You know where it is, Luffy?"

"Well, I just ate it."

Why did all the troubles of today always have to do with Luffy? Shanks was so mad that he had an irk mark on his forehead, and his teeth turned to shark's teeth. He started to pull Luffy's cheek just to see it stretched like rubble. He also yelled at Luffy.

"YOU IDIOT! THAT WAS THE DEVIL FRUIT. IF YOU EAT IT, YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SWIM"

"I KNEW IT ALREADY. YOU STUPID OLD MAN STOPPED YELLING AT ME" Luffy didn't want to lose, so he yelled back.

"WHAT DID YOU SAID YOU BRAT? I'M ONLY 27 YEARS OLD"

"Can you two......... STOP IT"

Ben decided to stop the yelling competition between a 27-year-old man and a 7-year-old child with his punches. Somehow, the bickering between the two had helped lift the mood of everyone in the room. They could hear a small giggle everywhere.

"OK, I'm finished. We are good to go" said Yasopp.

"Lucky, Can you bring them along for me?" Luffy turned to Lucky and said
