Klein lay lazily in his Kumo, his figure half laying and half sitting as he used both hands as pillow.

"Klei, there you are! Look, the Villager in that Cake Shop told me to give this to you as thanks."

Promptly opening his eyes, Klein stared at the bag of Full Grown red cherries inside the white cloth bag, which is being held by Luffy.

Looking at it, Klein chuckled as he noticed the cherries seems to be in a small amount. "Ne~ You ate half?" He asked with a smile.

"Oh, sorry. I was a little hungry on the way and they look very tasty. Here, have some Klei, they taste really sweet!" Luffy said, giving the bag to Klein who calmly accepted it.

Klein placed one cherry on his mouth, biting into it as the sweet taste of the round fruit assaulted his taste buds.

"You're right, it is sweet." Klein said, smiling softly.

Luffy sat in the counter, and both of them continue talking. Makino was drying some glass cups, saying she doesn't need help so both kids talk to themselves.

That is until a man walk in, and Klein's attention was drawn into him. It was an Old Burly Man with black suit, and Klein can't help but feel uncomfortable as he got a closer look.

Klein's eyes narrowed at the man, his eyes flashing in clear familiarisation. He's....Garp from the Navy.

Without noticing the presence of his greatest loving Grandpa, Luffy just had to choose the right moment to speak loudly what's on his mind with a smile as he gaze at Klein with stars, unaware of the Devil behind.

"Klei, when we set sail and become Pirates, let's find a great cook that could cook delicious meat!" Luffy said, his mouth watered at the thought of having a cook in his crew, someone who could cook delicious foods everyday.

Klein saw the Devil's eyes suddenly turned sharp, like the clear sky suddenly became filled with dark clouds. It cause Klein to flinch as he tried to flew back a little, far away from the raging storm. He glanced at Luffy with worry, but choose to say nothing. Hopefully, It's his Grandpa so I expect him to make it our alive.

Saying your dream to become a Pirate in front of a Navy...It could only result to a scene like this....

"A Pirate, you say?! Luffy! What is it that you're spouting about becoming a Pirate?!" The loud and angry roar of the Navy Hero echoed around the Room, and Makino who hasn't noticed Garp's presence gasp in surprise.

"Garp-san!"

"G-Grandpa?!"

Turning around almost instantly, the blood in Luffy's face drained as he look at Garp in surprise.

Garp's eyes darkened as he glared at Luffy, "What did you just say a while ago? Say it again!" He yelled.

Klein doesn't know which planet Luffy got his guts from, but the raven child actually dared to answer that question.

"Grandpa, I'll become a Pirate! A Great one who has many treasures! I'll set sail across the sea and-

*Bammm!*

"Idiot!!!"

Klein's lips pursed into a thin line as he watched Luffy's head meet the ground from the impact.

"O-Ouch..." Luffy whimper, holding his head with his hands. "Why'd you do that?!"

That's probably Haki. Normal punches won't normally worked towards Devil Fruit users. Klein thought, observing silently.

"Why?! You're spouting nonsense that's why! What are you talking about becoming a Pirate?! You'll be a Marine, not a Pirate!" He angrily roared, glaring towards Luffy's little figure. "Where did this crap of thoughts came from?!"

Of course, if Luffy shut his mouth and stayed obediently silent, then he simply won't be Luffy.

"I don't want to become a Soldier! Grandpa, I'll be a strong Pirates like Shanks and sail across the sea! I'll find the greatest treasure of the world!"

No one knew how much shock Garp received the moment he heard the familiar name of a certain Red-Haired Pirate, then he noticed the Hat silently placed atop of Luffy's head.

"Shanks?...You....Are you talking about... that damnable Pirate with Red Hair?! How come you knew him?!"

Luffy suddenly stood up, clearly throwing the matter of being hit at the back of his head. Then, he pointed his finger at Garp, causing Klein's lips to pursed into a thin line, clearly knowing what's going to happen.

"Shanks is a great man!" Then, he pause, clearly noticing something wrong. He then look curiously at Garp, "Wait, Grandpa, you knew Shanks?"

An irk mark appeared in Garp's head as he glared darkly at Luffy. "I forbid you to talk about this anymore! You're going to be a Marine! Don't even think about sailing out of the sea to become a Pirate!"

With that, another hit befall into Luffy's head, causing the poor kid to meet the ground. Luffy whispered in pain while Garp turned his attention at Klein, who flinch at the stern stare.

"Uhmm....Hello?" Klein greeted, unsure of what to say under the intimidating glare of the Hero of the Navy.

"Brat, Luffy's talking with you about becoming a Pirate. Don't tell me you're also aspiring to be one?" He asked, more like stated.

Before Klein could answer, Luffy already jumped up into his feet, getting in front of Klein with arms spread out. Then, he glared at his Grandfather.

"Don't call him Brat! He has a name and it's Klein! He's Shanks son and he'll join my crew-

"Quit being a loudmouth you idiot!"

Klein yelled, holding Luffy by the mouth, his face was filled with panicked.

Who wouldn't? He's facing an Admiral, who happens to be the Navy Hero. What's more, Luffy just had to include Shanks being his Father, well, Adoptive father, in front of his Grandfather who already look angered just by hearing his grandson talking about becoming a Pirate.

"You said that "Red-Hair" Shanks has a son?" Garp asked darkly, narrowing his eyes at Klein, who immediately flinch at the intense stare.

"Uhm...I-I am?" Klein unsurely said, which sounded like he's asking himself.

Garp frown, and after a minute of silence, he come into a decision.

"That won't do! From now on, I'm your Grandfather and I'll train you to become a strong Marine!"

"......" A strong what now? Wait....

"WHAT?!"
