___ 3° POV ___

As the ship got closer Luffy became anxious and happy for no apparent reason, something told him that it wasn't just him...

Makino was inside the bar and found the restless Luffy strange, he was simply strange, it would be funny if it weren't for Luffy being someone who practically lives on instinct. She was worried.

And suddenly, looking outside, Makino sees a pirate ship far away but that said half of her worries, maybe Luffy felt the pirates? Even from so far away, Luffy has never been normal in his entire life and that explains the things that have been happening, the other half is that if Luffy was like that then either the pirates were strong or in some way unknown and new to Luffy.

And the ship arrived slowly and this was making everyone uneasy in different ways, but anxious. And when the ship was a few meters from the pier, Luffy was already practically on the ship jumping and exploring everything the pirates had and didn't have, and it was definitely not welcome the new stranger on the ship.

The short 'guy' in black, the pirates noticed, wasn't attacking anyone and he didn't have bad intentions either, but he was invading the ship and that wasn't good to begin with and even if no one even felt the urge to attack the unwanted new crew in ship, they had to at least get him off the ship.

The short 'guy' didn't even care about their presence or that's what they thought, Ben and Shanks realized that the short 'guy' was watching the ship but also observing each of them and especially the two of them, perhaps investigating or testing them both?

And the two quickly realized that it was that person or thing(?) that emitted that strength and silent presence that was bothering them before, only the oldest crew members on the ship noticed with the vice-captain and the captain, with such a presence, no one thought or even suspected that that person was actually a child, perhaps the childish way of exploring the ship, but only those who did not feel their presence thought about this possibility, after all, short and childish is already a suggestion, right?

Everyone was on the defensive even if it didn't seem like it, and the captain suddenly moves slowly before the others and with relaxed steps in front of the short guy, standing in front of him and watching him attentively, now his strange three-colored eyes are visible, everyone's kind of silent now.

Those eyes were almost somehow terrifying and calm, they left the crew in an even more strange silence if possible, wondering if it would have been better to have driven the stranger away in the first place, but their captain was facing the stranger now and had no way back besides waiting to see what happens, it was then that the captain said an excited 'hi' and asked the stranger in an excited and funny tone why he was so interested in the ship and the people on it, laughing a little at the end of the sentence and effectively breaking the strange silence that hung over the ship.

The stranger seemed happier even with those rags of black cloth that covered his entire body except his eyes and suddenly he said a friendly 'hello', even more excited than the captain and definitely scaring the crew with such a childish and loud voice, as if he was greeting everyone on the ship, and continuing to talk, saying that he was feeling the presence of the scar-in-eye-guy being the strongest he had seen so far, and wanted to see who it was, as if it were the simplest thing in the world and laughing like a kid... he is a kid.

The crew was a bit shocked by the discovery that he was a child, only the captain seemed normal, with the same face as before, as if he had already expected this, and the captain asked what his name was and why the strange clothes, casually as if it wasn't important, even with curiosity shining in his eyes.

After asking that, the kid said "I didn't say my name, but neither did you but, anyways! I'm Luffy! Who the hell are you?" He said with joy in his voice.

After a moment, Luffy takes off the 'hood' of black cloth from his head, showing white hair and dark skin, a scar under his eye and two stitches, showing the face of a child of no more than six years old. With a big smile raised on his face.

"There's not much of a reason, but it's more for my brothers!" responds the child, and then asks "what about you? Won't you say your name or introduce yourself?" being followed by a laugh, Shanks answers his name and introduces himself as a cool pirate. The captain of the Red-haired pirates.

Luffy already seemed strange but now he seemed even more so, because they knew his ethnicity and because they knew he was in fact a child, perhaps for so many other reasons, but Shanks knew that Luffy probably didn't know the seriousness of the situation he could get himself into if he showed who he was or even his appearance, he realized that the child was either too naive or simply didn't care about what could happen or didn't even know...

The new crew members didn't really know him so they didn't find his appearance too strange.

Shanks and his older members knew that for Luffy to live on an island in the weakest sea and without any strong pirate protecting the island, like Newgate, Kaido or Linlin, someone would have to be covering up his existence from the world government, like a marine or someone really powerful in the world government system.

And on second thought, Shanks feels he could find out who, but for now he will just continue to talk and instruct his crew with the supplies and no disturbances in the village. They are here to enjoy and not make a mess.

It turns out that they really had to leave the ship anyway, as a worried young woman arrived, already asking about the boy and already on the defensive against the pirates, it turns out that she felt relieved to see the boy well and getting along well with the pirates, but she called Luffy to the bar, however what no one expected was Luffy calling and pulling Shanks with the crew to the bar to continue talking to the pirates as if they were old friends.

Without resistance, Shanks allowed himself to be taken with the crew to the bar, which he discovered belonged to the woman who had just arrived looking for Luffy, he also discovered that the woman was called Makino and that she was the one who took care of Luffy in the short period of time he was there in village, the boy mostly lived in the forest by himself and with his two older brothers, Luffy seemed happy telling him about his brothers, he say that he can't see colors, hes telling too many story's of adventures.

A new friend, hein?

'Heh? Luffy said he's going to get his hat, The boy has a hat...a straw hat that he found when he was walking on the beach and he also ate a strange fruit that was in a chest near the hat...he said then eat the fruit, he becomes weak when the water touches him...'

-"What such a strange ocasion... what powers you have now...?"-

-"Ah, do you feel like you're made of rubber...? But you don't know..."-

-"Oh, You will never be able to swim in your life again..."-

-"what the fuck!!"-

-"You ate the rubber fruit! And you also caught my hat on the beach?! What the hell is going on here?! I lost two things at the same time for nothing...!"-

-"...But you're going to give me my hat back, right? If it's mine you should return it, No, I didn't steal it and I'm not lying! It's mine! I gain it from my captain before becoming a pirate on my own! I didn't steal! Give it back!"-

-"Come back here you little...! Ben! Take my hat from him! Hes stealing! What a mor- sorry Makino-chan...."-

-"Mugiwara!"-
