"Ace, get up to eat." Rouge prepared a table of meals and woke Ace who was sleeping on the sofa.

"Mom, it smells so good." Ace walked to the dining table and sat down.

"I don't know if Luffy will come back to eat, but I made it for him. Rouge smiled.

"That guy, hasn't come back?" Ace asked, wiping his hands.

But just as Rouge was about to speak, there was another knock on the door outside.

Rouge smiled and said, "Luffy should be back."

Follow her to stand up and open the door.

After a while, Rouge opened the door to the courtyard, and then saw Luffy and Shanks standing at the door.

And Shanks looked at Lu ~ Jiu with an apologetic look on his face, with the unspeakable embarrassment and embarrassment on his face.

Rouge was stunned for a moment, then said −: "What's the matter?"

"Mom!" Luffy shouted happily at first.

That's right, because he and Ace were raised by Rouge since childhood, Luffy followed Ace and directly called Rouge a mother.

He also sees Rouge as his own mother from the heart.

Shanks hesitated for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Sorry, it's all my fault, Luffy he... Luffy he..."

"What's wrong with Luffy?" Rouge squatted down with concern, grabbed Luffy and looked up and down.

Don't see any problem?

"I've become a Demon fruit power! Luffy said with pride.

Rouge???

At this moment, Ace also rushed out, looked at Luffy in shock and said, "What??? Demon fruit power?"

"Ace!" Luffy excitedly waved at Ace, then grabbed his face and said, "Look, I've become a rubber man, hahahaha, amazing, right?"

"It's really enviable!" Ace stepped forward and grabbed Luffy's face, tugging a few times, and said excitedly.

"Well, but I can't seem to swim! I've turned into a landlubber!" Luffy said again.

At this moment, Rouge reacted, looked at Shanks with surprised eyes and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

"Cough cough..." Shanks coughed a little, and then said with an embarrassed expression: "Before we came to East Blue, we grabbed a Devil Fruit from the world's official government, and then threw it on the boat, forgetting it all the time. Handling, when unloading today, Laki Lu accidentally took this fruit off the ship, and then put it on the bar of the tavern, thinking about taking it back after drinking at night..."

"And then?" Rouge seemed to have understood something, and asked helplessly, covering his forehead.

"Then... accidentally seen by Luffy, this guy ate that Devil Fruit while we weren't paying attention, that Devil Fruit was Paramecia Rubber Fruit, so... so now he's turned into a Rubber Man. " Shanks said helplessly.

Before Rouge could speak, Shanks hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, eldest sister, it's all my fault, I didn't think much of Luffy, and I accidentally turned him into a power..."

After hearing this, Luffy said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter at all, I still think it's very powerful, and it can become bigger and smaller! It seems that I'm not afraid of pain!"

Rouge hit Luffy's head with an angry punch. Sure enough, Luffy didn't feel any pain at all, but his head was deformed.

After a while, Rouge breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the end... there's nothing to do, right?"

"I..." Shanks didn't know what to say.

"Don't blame yourself too much, it's all because Luffy is not good, and it's my fault that I didn't teach him properly and made him eat indiscriminately..." Rouge also said with some self-blame.

This has already happened, and nothing can be undone. Rouge can see that Shanks is very guilty.

But for this matter, if you say you have to blame Shanks, it really can't be counted like that.

In theory, Shanks is still the one who suffered the loss. Devil Fruit or something, even the most common one, is worth at least one or two hundred million Baileys.

Now being eaten by Luffy, Shanks directly lost one or two billion Baileys, or even more.

After a few words, Shanks had nothing to do and was ready to leave.

But just after he turned and walked a few steps, he suddenly stopped again, and he turned to look at Ace, Rouge and Luffy.

Then he took off the straw hat on his head and said, "This hat..."

Rouge's eyes softened a little, of course she knew that this was Roger's hat, and Roger gave this straw hat to Shanks.

"Luffy, come here!" Shanks made up his mind and called out to Luffy.

Luffy came over with some unknown reasons, Shanks put his straw hat on Luffy's head, and said seriously: "This straw hat was given to me by someone who is very important to me. Now, I will give this straw hat to me. I leave it to you for safekeeping. If you must go out to sea to be a pirate in the future, then we will definitely meet in this sea, Luffy... Then, become an excellent pirate, put this hat, Give it back to me! 55

"Shanks?" Luffy looked at Shanks in confusion, as if he didn't quite understand it.

"We're leaving East Blue, Luffy," Shanks said with a smile on his face.

"Huh?" Luffy exclaimed.

However, Shanks didn't say anything to Luffy, but straightened up and looked at Rouge: "Miss, thank you for taking care of you during this time, we are ready to return to the New World!

Rouge was no accident, she knew that Shanks and others couldn't stay in East Blue forever.

There was a smile on Rouge's face, and he said softly: "Well, be careful on the road, and... don't forget what I said, when you get to New World, you must be careful..."

"Watch out Surrut, I remember." Shanks said with a big laugh.

But after a short pause, Shanks said confidently: "But, even if it's Surrut, it's not that easy to teach me a lesson, don't worry, sis!"

After finishing speaking, Shanks looked at Ace again, and then he said with a smile: "You must grow up healthy, Ace...

Ace was obviously more sensible than Luffy, and said seriously to Shanks: "Thank you, Shanks, and wish you a smooth journey!"

Afterwards, Shanks rubbed Luffy's head in the straw hat for the last time and said, "Goodbye, Luffy. 35

After speaking, Shanks turned around and left.

Looking at Shanks' back, Luffy burst into tears and shouted, "Shanks!!!"

But Shanks didn't look back, just waved his hands behind their backs and left handsomely.

Early the next morning, Red Hair Pirates' Red Force left the East Blue's windmill village port.

On the dock, there are still many villagers waving goodbye to them.

Village Chief Slap looked at the pirate ship that was gradually moving away, and shook his head slightly with emotion: "Although they are pirates, they are not a group of bad guys...

"I heard that Mr. Garp is coming back. I was worried that he would run into Shanks and the others. Now that Shanks and the others have left, there is no need to worry about those things. Makino said with some reluctance.

In the yard of Rouge's house, Ace looked at Luffy who was a little lost and was sitting on the steps, scratched his head a little, and said, "Hey, Luffy!

·For flowers.....

Luffy feebly turned his head to look at Ace with a puzzled expression.

"Don't be so lost, it's not like you can't meet again, didn't you make an appointment? When you become a pirate and go to sea, you will definitely meet on the sea! Ace preached in a full-fledged manner.

Luffy's expression was a little aggrieved, as if he was still reluctant.

"Have you really decided to become a pirate? Grandpa will be very angry!" Ace asked again.

"I just want to be a pirate, galloping freely on this sea! I don't want to be a Marine!" Luffy said without hesitation this time.

In his impression, as Marine's grandfather, time is always so tight, and he doesn't see each other several times a year. Being Marine is not free at all, so he doesn't want to be like a grandpa!

In comparison, Shanks' gang's dashing and free will really make him envious.

Maybe he has such a gene that yearns for the sea and freedom in his bones?

"If you want to be a pirate, you have to have enough strength, come with me, let's go to the back mountain, and I will teach you how to become stronger! Ah, yes, I also met a new friend, I can introduce it to you! 39 Ace held her chest out and said like a little adult.

"Teach me to be strong?" Luffy looked interested.

"That's right!" Ace nodded proudly, and then said: "Yesterday, I killed the wolf who always likes to steal lambs in the back mountain. Uncle Surrut also sent me the secrets of practice. As a brother, Let's train together!"

"Oh!!!" Luffy was instantly happy, and it seemed that the parting reluctance had been diluted a lot.

Seeing that Luffy agreed, Ace was relieved, turning his head and shouting at the house: "Mom, Luffy and I are going to the back mountain to play! 35

Rouge's figure stuck his head out of the window, smiled softly, and instructed: "You must pay attention to safety, remember to come back for dinner at night, and if your new friend Sabo is willing, ask him to come to the house as a guest!

"Got it, Mom!" Ace responded.

"Let's go, Mom!" Luffy responded loudly.

Followed, these two little guys were like wild horses running away, you chased me, rushed out of the house yelling, and ran towards the back mountain.

Children's happiness, sometimes it is so simple.

Rouge also had a smile on his face as he watched them leave.

She closed the window, looked at the letter on the table, and after thinking for a while, she opened the envelope, took out the letter, picked up a pen and wrote another paragraph on it: "Luffy guy, accidentally ate Shanks and others. The Devil Fruit he brought, it is said to be the Rubber Fruit of Paramecia. From today, he has become a landlubber... But he has also become an ability person like you. I don't know if this is a good thing?

But the only certainty is that Mr. Garp will be furious when he comes back in a few days, right?

Maybe Shanks...and his Red Hair Pirates, he's out of luck, hehe.

After resealing the letter, Rouge looked up at the sky beyond the window.

A cloud like cotton candy is moving slowly.

A gentle wind blew in along the window edge, causing Rouge's long pale blonde hair to flutter in the wind.

Raising his hand to hold down the ends of his hair blown by the wind, Rouge said softly, "What a peaceful day..."

On this day, the gears of fate began to turn.

It's the Red Hair Pirates returning to the New World, the meeting of the three brothers Luffy, Ace, and Sabo, and the successor of... a straw hat.
