1 Romance Dawn

At a bar in Foosha village, a group of pirates can be seen drinking and having fun; at the front of the bar, a 7-year-old boy is sitting. The boy's name is Monkey D. Luffy. And next to him is a man with red hair wearing a straw hat.

"Hey, you should take me on your next adventure, Shanks." "I want to be a pirate like you!" Luffy said with a big smile on his face while looking at the red-haired man named Shanks. Shanks looked up from his food and looked at Luffy, who then started laughing.

"Hahahaha! "How could you become a pirate?" said Shanks.

"Why can't I?" he asked.

Then a big man who was eating a piece of meat answered his question.

"Listen, Luffy, you may be a good swimmer, but that doesn't mean you can become a great pirate," said Lucky Roo while eating his meat.

"But I'm also a great fighter; my punches are as strong as two guns!" he said while raising his fists. The sight was a funny thing for pirates.

"Are they really that strong?" said Shanks with a mouthful of food.

"What is the meaning of that question of yours?" Luffy screamed, and Lucky Roo just laughed and talked.

"That means you are still a child," said Lucky Roo.

"And he really knows that I have a child who is slightly older than you," said Yasopp. Hearing this, Luffy got even angrier, and he shouted at all of them.

"I'm not a child!" "I'm an adult!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. His screams died down when he heard a voice from Shanks.

"Here, drink this glass of juice to calm yourself down," said Shanks as he handed a glass of orange juice to Luffy. Luffy's eyes immediately lit up upon seeing this, and a big smile appeared on his face. 

"Wow, thanks Shanks," Luffy said as he drank the juice. While he was drinking the juice, Shanks looked at Luffy and laughed while banging the table.

"I don't know any pirates who drink juice," said Shanks while laughing.

"That's a dirty trick!" Luffy shouted, making everyone in the bar burst into laughter, "Stop laughing! "That's a cheap trick!" Luffy shouted at all the pirates that were there.

While all this was happening, the owner of the bar, Makino, was watching the interaction between Luffy and the pirates at her bar with a warm smile on her face. Suddenly the door in front of her was kicked open. 

"Excuse me," said a tall man who was standing in front of the door. At this moment, all the pirates in the bar fell silent and looked towards the door.

The man who led another group was tall, had dark skin with black hair, a black beard and an x-shaped gash above his left eye.

He was wearing a long red robe, and his underwear was a white shirt, black pants, and a gold necklace. "So these are the faces of the pirates around here; to be honest, they all look miserable," he said as he walked towards the bar counter and stood beside Shanks.

"Welcome, sir, what can I do for you?" asked Makino.

"We are mountain bandits, but we're not here to make a scene at your place." All we want is a few barrels of sake. "Maybe around 10 barrels will be enough," he said to Makino.

"I'm sorry, actually we've run out of sake at this time," said Makino. When the Mountain Bandit said he didn't want to make a scene at the bar, Luffy calmed himself down and turned his attention elsewhere because he thought the Mountain Bandit ordering sake was something boring.

So, he shifted his gaze to his right, where a small chest was on top of the counter bar. Luffy knows that it belongs to Shanks because before, he saw Shanks bring this chest inside. His mind quickly began to fill with guesses about what might be in the chest.

So he decided to satisfy his curiosity and opened the chest. It turned out that the contents were quite disappointing, because inside there was not a treasure like what Luffy had thought but instead a strange-shaped fruit. It was a light blue fruit shaped like a pear but bigger, and around the fruit there were strange patterns.

And at the same time, Luffy's stomach suddenly growled, so he decided to eat the fruit. Because he is Luffy, instead of eating it bit by bit, he immediately put the fruit roundly into his mouth and chewed it.

He instantly regretted it, for it was the most unpalatable fruit he had ever eaten, but he did not spit it out but swallowed it straight away. At the same time, after he swallowed the fruit, a thumping sound startled him.

When he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw shanks fall to the floor while the mountain bandit was screaming nonsense about having a bounty of 8 million belis. Luffy quickly got up and stood on the chair he was sitting on, then he shouted at the bandit.

"Hey, don't bother Shanks!" He shouted at the bandits, and while doing this, he unknowingly emitted a surge of unknown power. When Luffy did this, a strange thing happened: one by one, the mountain bandits started to faint, and some of Shanks' crew members who were weak also fainted.
