Pirates: Being salvaged onto the ship by Roger at the beginning

The old man was so angry that he was about to die.

"Wuwuwu, please don't!" Luffy's little head collapsed when he heard that he would never be able to swim again, like a thunder exploded in his mind.

"Hey, fate? This is it!" Looking at Luffy who was irreversible, Shanks sighed.

"Shanks~" Luffy's little figure squatted on the ground, sad tears kept flowing from his eyes, and the swimming he had been practicing hard for a long time was useless.

"Okay, okay, not being able to swim is a disadvantage, but if the devil fruit is properly developed, it will become very strong!" Shanks patted Luffy's little head, and then began to explain some information about the devil fruit.

"Really?" Luffy heard Shanks' explanation, and his big black eyes released a dazzling light again. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and regained his optimistic attitude.

"Of course!"

One day later, a small figure was knocked out at the edge of the small village.

"Bang!"

"We were drinking well, why are you here to make trouble!" The bandit Sig looked at Luffy who was knocked out and hit the barrel, and spoke fiercely, stepping in front of Luffy step by step, with threats beyond words.

"Damn it, you bastard, apologize to Shanks!" Luffy shouted loudly with a face full of dissatisfaction, and in return he was kicked hard. Fortunately, he had taken the rubber fruit and had a strong ability to resist beatings, otherwise such power was not something a child could bear.

Just when Sig decided to give Luffy an unforgettable lesson and punishment, the village chief and Makino ran over, looking at the subdued Luffy with a nervous and solemn look.

"Please let him go, he's just a child. If I offend him in any way, I'm willing to use my treasure as collateral!" Seeing Luffy in danger, the village chief knelt down and begged.

"Huh? As expected of an old man, you really know what's happening. However, this kid has offended me, so I have to teach him a deep lesson!" Sig glanced at the village chief, then drew his saber from his waist, wanting to execute Luffy.

At this moment, the Red Hair Pirates appeared behind the village chief at some point.

"I saw that there was no one in the tavern, and I thought something had happened. Isn't this the bandit from before?" Shanks looked at Luffy, who was held on the neck by the bandit Sig, without laughing as usual, but with a serious face.

"Pirate? You're still here? Have you been mopping the floor in the tavern?!" Sig looked at Shanks, frowned, and mocked.

"Luffy, aren't your fists as powerful as a pistol?" Shanks ignored the bandit Sig, and strode forward to look at Luffy who was resisting.

"Stop talking nonsense, Shanks!" Luffy retorted angrily.

"I don't know what you are still doing here, but if you come any closer, I will punch your head into a honeycomb, you cowardly pirates," Sig's threatening voice sounded, and a bandit raised his pistol and pointed it at Shanks' head in cooperation with his boss.

"I told you not to get close, pirate, watch out for your head!"

"Hey, hey, are you serious? A man who raises a pistol is risking his life!" Shanks looked at the gun pointed at his forehead, not afraid at all, but turned his head to ask the bandit a question.

"Huh?! What are you talking about?" The bandit looked confused, not knowing what Shanks meant.

"I said, since you have drawn the gun, you have to risk your life. This is not a toy for playing house to scare people," Shanks pointed at the pistol seriously.

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot sounded, and Lakilu chewed a chicken leg with one hand and pointed at the bandit's head with the other hand and pulled the trigger. A life ended just like that because of ignorance.

Everyone, seeing the Red Hair Pirates' move, opened their mouths in shock and looked horrified.

"Suddenly taking action? This is too despicable!"

"Despicable?" Jesus Bu said with disdain.

"Don't say such naive words, do you think your enemies are all saints?" Ben Beckman looked at the bandits calmly.

"The one in front of you is a pirate!" Shanks said in one word.

"Damn it, this matter has nothing to do with you!" A bandit said angrily.

"Listen, bandits, whether you pour wine or spit on me, these are just a smile,

But no matter what your reason is, I will not allow you to attack my friends!" Shanks was completely angry.

"Hahaha, you won't forgive me. Just you pirates? What a joke, guys, kill them!" The bandit Sig laughed with his head raised, not caring at all, because his perception was wrong from the beginning.

"Hehe, kill them!" The bandits roared excitedly, waving their long swords and rushing towards the Red Hair Pirates.

"One of me is enough!" Ben Beckman looked at the pirates rushing over, holding the long gun in his big hand and took a step forward.

"Bang bang bang! Boom!"

In a moment of fighting, all the bandits were knocked out. For Ben Beckman, they were just a group of minions, and he could solve them with a wave of his hand.

However, this scene made the bandit Sig see it, and it was like a bolt from the blue in his mind. He didn't expect that the pirates who were so cowardly in the tavern before were so powerful.

"If you want to fight with us, at least send a warship," Beckman said in a serious tone.

"Damn it!" Sig was horrified, secretly took out a smoke bomb from his arms, and then,

"Bang!"

A black mist spread, covering the surrounding area of ​​several hundred meters, and Sig took the opportunity to escape with Luffy.

"What should I do? What should I do? Luffy was taken away!"

"Stupid boss, let's find him together, we will definitely find Luffy back," Lakilu said helplessly.

In the near sea, Sig took a small boat to catch the little Luffy, and was proud of his clever escape.

"Asshole, let me go, you stinky monkey!" Luffy punched and kicked unwillingly, but he didn't get hit once.

"Hehehe, worry about yourself, kid!" Sig looked at Luffy viciously, then threw him into the sea with a flick of his hand.

"Hahaha!" Sig laughed wildly, and at this moment, a huge head suddenly emerged from the sea, swallowing him in one gulp with a horrified look.

"Help, help!"

Looking at Luffy who had devoured the bandit and turned his eyes to him, he cried for help desperately. Just as the bloody mouth was biting down on Luffy, Shanks appeared and took him into his arms, but his arm was also bitten off by the King of the Sea.

"Get out!"

Looking at the King of the Sea who wanted to continue attacking, Shanks widened his eyes, and the Conqueror's Haki directly frightened him. In great fear, he plunged into the sea and ran away.

"Shanks! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)", looking at Shanks with a broken arm, Luffy burst into tears.

A few days later, the Red Hair Pirates, who had recovered from their injuries, were ready to set off for the New World.

"Hmph, I won't let you take me out to sea anymore, because I've decided to become a pirate myself!"

"Pirate? You? Hahaha!"

"Don't look down on me, Shanks. In the future, I will definitely find a partner who is not inferior to you guys, find the world's largest treasure, surpass you, and become the Pirate King!" Luffy almost shouted.

"Luffy, haven't you always wanted this straw hat? Now I'll give it to you for safekeeping. It's the most important thing to me!"

Hearing Luffy's voice, Shanks pondered for a while, put the straw hat on Luffy's head, and after a few serious instructions, he left on the pirate ship, leaving Luffy with tears flowing.
