***********************************

Luffy led the Red Haired Pirates to Partyr Bar owned by Makino.

Makino was quietly wiping down the tables, her movements unhurried, when the sound of approaching footsteps broke the stillness.

She turned, her eyes lighting up the moment she saw Luffy stride into the bar. A warm, instinctive smile spread across her face, and for an instant, she moved to greet him with the kiss she'd been waiting all day to give.

But her steps faltered, the light in her eyes dimming slightly, as she caught sight of the rough, weathered men trailing behind him.

They carried an air of danger that didn't belong in her little bar—a stark contrast to the boy she'd been so eager to welcome home.

"Luffy, who are these people?" Makino slightly nodded her head and the red-haired man in the lead and asked.

Luffy smiled and pointed at the group of dudes. "They are Pirates. They docked their ship at the port and asked me to show them around."

"P-Pirates?" Makino was clearly visibly shaken by hearing that term.

Luffy patted his chest and said. "Don't be scared, Sister Makino. With me here, you will be safe."

A flicker of memory crossed Makino's mind, reminding her just how absurdly strong Luffy was. Even Garp, the hero of the Marines, had once chuckled and assured her that Luffy could handle any pirate in the East Blue without breaking a sweat. The thought brought a sense of calm, smoothing the tension in her chest.

A soft smile graced her lips as she allowed herself to relax, stepping forward with quiet confidence to welcome the pirates into her bar, her trust in Luffy unwavering.

A guy among the group of Pirates with blond hair styled in loose waves suddenly had the urge to tease Luffy. The guy had a slim body and he was wearing a dark blue shirt, dark green pants reaching down to his calves, and blue shoes with buckles on them. He was also donning a headband with the word 'Yasopp' written on it.

"Hey kid, you seem so sure that you can protect the girl. Are you not scared that we will be bad people?"

The other Pirates also decided to follow along and showed fierce expression while grinning.

Shanks also raised an eyebrow, looking forward to what the young man would say next.

Luffy raised an eyebrow and observed Yasopp from head to toe, smiling. "Hehe... despite your small size and weak body, you seem quite confident. Anyone can see that you are not a fighter type. Looking at your body and your sharp eyes, you must be a sniper. Why should I give you a chance to shoot me? And if you accidentally kill me, my grandfather will chase you all around the world and will flatten you alongside your little friends. Hehe..."

"Ugh!"

Yasopp bit back his retort, his pride bristling at the mocking tone. Forced to swallow his words, he could only grumble under his breath, irritation simmering just beneath the surface.

"Hahaha..."

"Yasopp, he is saying you have a small size."

"Pfft... Yasopp has a weak body."

All the other pirates started laughing at Yasopp.

Uta pouted and pointed at Luffy, saying. "You don't know anything. Yasopp can beat a kid like you with his eyes closed."

Yasopp sniffed a little and said. "At least Uta still believes in me."

Luffy raised an eyebrow at her words and smiled. "Then let's see what he has after you have filled your stomachs."

Shanks chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement as he leaned in. "So, Luffy, what made you so sure that Yasopp's a sniper?"

Benn Beckman, usually the silent type, raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by the sharpness of Luffy's observation.

Luffy's smile stretched into a playful grin, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he shrugged. "Well, let's see... this guy's built like a reed—too skinny, no bulk at all. Not the kind you'd expect to charge into the heart of battle, right? But if you look closer, you'll see him soaking up every little thing around the village, noticing the details that no one else would even think to care about. But the real kicker? The skin between his fingers—slightly singed, and the faint scent of gunpowder practically clinging to him. It's like a sign screaming 'sniper'! A damn fine one, too, with an eye for things that would escape even the sharpest of eyes."

Silence

All the laughter died down instantly with everyone staring at Luffy with gaping mouths and wide eyes.

Shanks and Benn Beckman seemed amazed by his analysis, surprised to see such a young man actually studying them to such details and finding things. 

Even though some of his points were weird and lacked some details, it was already pretty amazing for him to find something like this with just a few clues.

"What about me?" Among the group, one of them raised his hand and asked.

Luffy raised his head and looked at him. The person was a lean man with dirty blonde hair, which was tied up into a small ponytail. He had a stitched scar on the left side of his forehead.

"You are the doctor of the crew. The smell of herbs is very strong over you." Luffy replied lazily. He then looked at others and said. "And don't ask me again. Just eat, pay, and behave well, then we will have no problem."

"Dahahaha... we sure have a talented lad as our guide." Shanks rubbed Luffy's head and laughed happily. He was getting more and more interested in the kid, finding him very pleasing.

'It seems Garp's grandson is not simple at all. What an amazing brat!...'

Soon, the group of pirates placed their orders and started laughing and singing happily.

With such a large number of customers, it might be difficult for Makino to handle alone so Luffy decided to be the waiter in order to help her out.

With his quick speed, Luffy was able to keep up with their paces.

Shanks was sitting at the front close to the bar with Uta, chatting with Makino. When he learned that Luffy was actually only 6 years old, both he and Uta were dumbfounded.

Well, it was easy to make such an honest mistake considering Luffy's size as he resembled a young man around the age of 12-15 years old.

Uta stared at Luffy, unable to believe that he was actually younger than her. Because of the way he carried himself and treated others, it did not feel like he was so young as it was not something that a young kid like him would do.

Luffy was finally finished with the orders after fifteen minutes, joining Shanks and Uta at the front. Makino served him some juice and cookies.

Luffy sipped the juice and asked. "So, what wind brought you to the Goa Kingdom? Should not the Pirate like you be in the Grandline?"

"Oh? Are you interested in Pirates?" Shanks asked with a smile.

Luffy stared at him straight and asked. "Did I say that?"

"Uh?" Shanks was speechless by Luffy's return and scratched the side of his face.

Luffy smiled and said. "The East Blue is considered the weakest sea. It should not be a place for a strong guy like you to come to. Do you also have children that you come to meet secretly?... No. If that is the case, then you should have come alone rather than with such a large crew."

"Dahahaha... can't we just to the East Blue to explore and take a rest?" Shanks asked.
