Chapter 12 Question, How Did Red Border Luffy Eat His Devil Fruit?

Monkey D. Garp: "You idiot, Luffy!! Look at what Red-Haired Shanks taught him, what did you learn from Shanks?!"

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

Shanks: "Oh man... Why didn't I think to tell Luffy about the ways to train Haki before..."

Since Luffy set sail until now, Shanks has actually 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 border, He wonder 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," Shank roared, taking a sip of his drink and laughing.

"Not confused. It's rare to meet someone like you, 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 Captain teach you the training method for Conqueror's Haki" Lucky Roo teased, winking at Luffy.

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

There's also Conqueror's Haki? Why didn't Grandpa mention it?

"Yeah, want to learn? Just the cost of a round of drinks..." 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 Garp and Lucky Roo. "Stop teasing Luffy, you two."

Then, Shanks pointed at the two of them and said to Luffy, "Remember these two, they're troublemakers."

"But Uncle... I really 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 it..."

Hearing this, Luffy felt empty inside.

"I guess I don't have it..." No wonder Grandpa didn't teach him how to train Conqueror's Haki, it's because of this reason...

"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. "Uncle, 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 my eyes is just like those countless self-confident boys

So naive and ignorant...

Kaido: "Hahaha!! This brat is too overconfident! Does he really think Conqueror's Haki can be easily learn?

Charlotte Linlin: "There are always fools like this, thinking they are destined for greatness"

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

Gol D. Roger: "Not strange, not strange"

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

Gol D. Roger: "Get lost!"

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

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

Everyone: "..."

Ding!
