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

"The island of Zou? Funny name. Is that where you were born?" Law could not help but chuckle.

Luffy smiled and said mysteriously. "Funny? Wait until you visit it in the future. I can bet you will be shocked."

"Huh? R-Really? Is it so amazing?" Law was taken aback by Luffy's statement and asked.

"Amazing is an understatement. I will definitely pay a visit there." Luffy smiled lightly and spoke in a longing tone.

Law was really surprised and looked at Bepo, asking. "Is it really such a great place?"

Bepo smiled and nodded his head. "Yes!... I belong to the tribe of minks from that island. We lived in peace and I got along well with my family until the day my big brother suddenly disappeared."

"Without leaving any message?" Law asked, his brows locked together.

"No nothing at all. I then made up my mind to go to the sea to search for him. Unfortunately, I got the wrong boat and landed here on North Blue..." Bepo replied embarrassingly.

"You really surprise me. Damn, blunder..." Law said teasingly.

Bepo unable to read the teasing in Law's voice nodded his head with a serious expression and continued. "Yes... In addition to being tossed around in the waves, lightning almost fell on me several times, I really thought I was going to die there."

"Hahaha!... What a fool you are! Even a bear that knows how to speak, is still a bear!" Law could not control himself and laughed, happy after a long time.

Hearing these words, the polar bear suddenly stood up and tried to tie a rope around its neck which was lying on the ground.

"Hey stop! I was laughing when I called you an idiot! Seriously, you are too fragile of mind, you!" Law quickly stopped him and snatched the rope from Bepo's hands, throwing it away. He then consoled his companion the bear to help him chase away his dark ideas.

'Honestly, I would have been very annoyed if he took his own life for a simple joke.' Law muttered inside his heart.

Luffy watched everything from the side and laughed. "Haha... what a fun combination. You two will make a great team."

Law was embarrassed and glared at Luffy in anger before he sighed.

"And so, if I understood correctly, you have nowhere to sleep, do you?"

Bepo nodded his head. "Yes, that's it. In fact, I would love to take a boat to the New World, but I don't think I'll find one anytime soon ready to risk such a dangerous region... As for trying to get there by my own means, regarding my current level of navigation, I would end up swallowed up by the waves before arriving safely."

Law rubbed his chin and muttered. "So we can say making progress in navigation in order to go in search of your brother is in a way your current 'goal'?"

"Absolutely," Bepo replied with a serious expression.

Luffy laughed at their conversation and said. "What a lovely pair! Here... I have some books with me regarding the knowledge of the Navigation. You can read them if you like. I will bring more in the future. Law, you can also teach these fighting techniques to this bear too. When you guys are ready, I will teach you both Haki."

"Okay," Law nodded his head and asked Bepo to follow him.

The embarrassed bear stood up and followed him, timidly.

"By the way, you didn't give me a name," Law remembered that he never asked the other party his name.

"My big brother's name is Zepo. In the Mink language, it means 'handsome kid'..." Bepo was very nervous and blurted out without thinking much.

Law felt his facial muscles twitching and said. "I'm not talking about him, but about you! It's your name I want to know!"

"Ah me ?! My name is Bepo." Bepo exclaimed and reported his name.

Law smiled and introduced himself. "Bepo, OK. I like it, it's easy to pronounce. I am Law. Trafalgar Law."

"Law, okay." Bepo walked behind Law and called happily.

Luffy watched the two of them disappearing into the distance and stretched his muscles as he too decided to return back to Foosha Village. He could already foresee Ann and Uta searching for him.

And if he didn't return quickly it could cause trouble.

And just as he had predicted, just as he landed, he was surrounded by two pair of sharp eyes which instantly put him under great pressure.

"Luffy, where have you been until now? I searched for you everywhere, but I don't see your shadow at all," Ann said, clinging to his arm.

Uta quickly grabbed his other arm and said. "And don't even try to lie to me. I asked Shanks to use his Observation Haki to search for you."

"Huh?" Luffy was dumbfounded to hear that and glanced at Shanks who seemed equally helpless.

He might be the first Yonko to do that—no, wait. Luffy had done it when he searched for Boa sisters in the cracks.

Both Luffy and Shanks sighed together, looking very helpless.

Luffy tried to free his arms, but both coiled over them like koalas. He sighed and replied. "Why are you both like this...? I just went out to play around. It is not like something can happen to me. Can I not even have this freedom?"

"Then take me together with you next time!"

Both of them said simultaneously.

Just as they finished, they went on to glare at each other.

"I said it first."

"So what? Luffy promised to play with me!"

"Hah! Dream on. He is going to train with me."

"Training? I can let Shanks train you if you want."

"Oh really? Then you ask Shanks to play with you."

Luffy was helpless and looked very pitiful almost on the verge of crying. He looked at Shanks for help but the latter laughed and turned around his head.

"Alright girls. Leave poor Luffy alone!"

Just when it looked like a war would start, Makino came to the rescue. She clapped her hands and said with a dangerous smile.

"He will neither play with Uta nor train with Ann. Luffy will help me manage the bar."

"But..."

"No more food for anyone who disagrees." Makino smiled coldly and said.

Ann and Uta instantly released Luffy, who took a breath of relief before joining Makino behind the counter.

Ann and Uta could only sit at the table with sad expressions.

Luffy glanced at both of them and shook his head before he turned his attention to Shanks.

"Oh yeah, Shanks. When are you going on your next adventure again?"

"Uh, in a couple of days. Why? Do you want to come with us?" Shanks asked.
