Chapter 12 - Outrageous Devil fruit and Reward part 2

[Chat Room

Monkey D. Garp: "You idiot, Luffy! Look at what Red-Haired Shanks taught him, why did you drink that, and you bastard Shanks, why did to teach him to drink?!"

Monkey D. Luffy: "Ah~ Grandpa, I didn't even know about Haki back then..."

Shanks: "Blame me, blame me... Why didn't I think to tell Luffy about the ways to train Haki..."]

Since Luffy set sail until now, Shanks has been keeping an eye on Luffy's news.

But in just a few months, Luffy has grown from an inexperienced kid to a supernova in the pirate world with a bounty of 300 million berries!

It's not hard to see that Luffy is extremely talented!

If he had taught Luffy how to train Haki like Shanks in the red frame, he wondered what Luffy would be like now...

["Kid, did you get confused listening to so much at once? It would have been better if you had just listened to the basics of Haki training Gab roared, taking a sip of his drink and laughing quietly.]

["No I am not confused. It's just, that it's rare to meet someone like your captain, uncle, who is willing to teach me. Of course, the more I learn, the better," Luffy replied.]

["Oh? Kid, how about you pay for all of our drinks, and I'll have the boss teach you the training method for Conqueror's Haki~~" Gab teased, winking at Luffy.]

[At the mention of Conqueror's Haki for the first time, Luffy's eyes lit up.]

[There's another type of haki, Conqueror's Haki? Why didn't Grandpa mention it?]

["Yeah, wanna learn? Just the cost of a round of drinks..."]

[On the side, Lucky Roo smirked.]

["I want to learn!" Luffy slapped his money pouch, which contained his secret stash, on the counter. "This is all the money I have. If it's not enough, I'll pay the rest later."]

[Shanks rolled his eyes at Gab and Lucky Rooo. "Stop teasing Luffy, you two."]

[Then, Shanks points at the two of them and says to Luffy, "Remember these two, they're troublemakers."]

["But captain... I want to learn how to train Conqueror's Haki!" Luffy insisted.]

[Before Shanks could speak, Benn Beckman patted Luffy's shoulder. "Kid, they're just messing with you! To train Conqueror's Haki, you need talent first!! Conqueror's Haki represents the qualifications of a king, it's a rare Haki that may only appear in one out of millions of people!"]

[Shanks also laughed. "Yes, they just want to trick you out of your money~"]

["You need talent to learn..."]

[Hearing this, Luffy felt empty inside.]

["I guess I don't have it..."]

[No wonder Grandpa didn't teach me how to train Conqueror's Haki, it was because I don't possess the talent] 

"Kid, take your money back and use it to buy yourself something to eat!" Shanks pushed Luffy's money pouch back.]

["No!!"]

[But at that moment, Luffy stubbornly blocked the money pouch with his small hand, looking at Shanks with determination. "Captain, please teach me how to train Conqueror's Haki! Just because I don't have it now doesn't mean I won't have it in the future!"]

["Hahahaha!"]

[The whole bar was filled with a joyful atmosphere...]

[These veteran pirates have seen countless self-proclaimed prodigies like Luffy, but in the end, each one of them was beaten down by reality...]

[The Luffy before their eyes was just like those countless self-confident prodegies~~~]

[So naive and ignorant...]

[Chat Room

Kaido: "ORORORO!! This brat is too overconfident! Does he think Conqueror's Haki can be learned by anyone?"

Charlotte Linlin: "There will always be fools like this, who think they are destined for greatness~~~"

Edward Newgate: "I don't know what you two fools are laughing about. This kid is Garp's grandson and Dragon's son... Is it strange if he awakens Conqueror's Haki in the future?"

Gold D. Roger: "No, Not strange, not strange at all~~"

Rocks D. Xebec: "You two brothers are in perfect harmony~"

Gold D. Roger: "Get lost!"

Kaido: "ORORO, does being a descendant of a strong person mean he will be strong? Hey, Luffy kid over there, have you awakened Conqueror's Haki?"

Monkey D. Luffy: "What's Conqueror's Haki?"

Everyone: "..."]

[Ding!]

[Entering the prize question segment!]

At this moment, a question appeared on the big screen.

[Question: How did the red-framed Luffy obtain the Gomu Gomu no mi?]

[A: He didn't eat it.]

[B: Like the white-framed Luffy, he accidentally saw Gomu Gomu no mi in a wooden box next to Lucky Roo and thought it was a normal fruit, so he picked it up and ate it.]

[C: Gomu Gomu no mi rolled in front of Luffy on its own, and Shanks took advantage of the situation and gave it to Luffy to eat.]

[D: Shanks didn't teach him the training method for Conqueror's Haki, so Luffy held a grudge and stole Gomu Gomu no mi, then ate it.]

[E: The bar owner Makino accidentally made the Gomu Gomu no mi into a fruit salad, which was eaten by Luffy.]

[Please think carefully and answer cautiously.]
