"Shanks? Do you mean emperor Red haired Shanks?!" said Thatch, his eyes wide. Luffy looked to the ceiling in thought for a moment before smiling and nodding. "He has red hair!"
Ace and Sabo didn't know what the big deal was. They didn't know much about this 'Shanks' but only that he inspired Luffy to become King of the Pirates and gave him his iconic strawhat. Was this guy such a big hotshot? Whitebeard laughed and looked toward Luffy. "You sure are interesting!" Luffy laughed brightly, one hand on the top of his hat. Ace wouldn't admit his confusion so he just crossed his arms over his chest and closed his eyes. Sabo was smiling awkwardly while rubbing a finger against the side of his head.
"King of the Pirates huh?" Marco mumbled under his breath. The kid sure had big dreams, but Marco wasn't exactly sure he could achieve them. Luffy looked short for his age and also looked pretty scrawny. But Marco was in no position to doubt the child. He sighed before allowing himself to continue enjoying the little food left before him.
Luffy tensed up suddenly and went quiet. Sabo looked toward his younger brother with concern. "Luffy, is something wrong?" Ace opened his eyes and poked Luffy's cheek gently. Luffy looked down at the table and dropped the fork he was holding. "Oi Luffy! What's the matter?! Answer me!!" Luffy pointed to Whitebeard then to Marco, then to Thatch and to Izo. Finally he pointed to a wall. The Whitebeard Commanders had already analyzed the personalities of the three boys. Ace, he had walls around his heart, he cared a lot for his brothers and deems all strangers untrustworthy. Sabo, you could say the brains of this peculiar team, as the commanders were analyzing him, he was analyzing them back. Quite creepy. He approached things from a logical way but all logic went out the window when it came to his brothers. Finally, Luffy, he seemed not that bright but he sure was bubbly. He was like a ball of happiness and innocence. Everyone who got to converse with him was grateful for that type of light aura. This behavior that was happening was VERY unlike him. Especially when his older brothers were freaking out like that.
Just then Luffy pushed his older brother's heads down. "GET DOWN." he shouted loudly.

Just as a small knife flew right above them...
It's me! This seems like such a short chapter it makes me sad. TvT. I am very tempted to make Luffy have a dark past. Can you guys comment your opinion. Just have Luffy have REALLY good senses or perhaps something darker? I'll let you all choose! Thank you for reading this chapter. Let the adventure continue..
