(4) Shanks, and Future Events!
[Aoki POV]
Big brother was acting...different, he wasn't his usual carefree playful self. He looked more careful and cunning, I was pretty surprised when he told me he wanted to make a pirate crew but I wasn't shocked.
I always knew deep down that he wanted to become one, everytime pirates were in the newspaper or a great pirates bounty was raised; his eyes would glisten in amazement.
I made a promise to myself to always be by his side, no matter where and what we identify as. Whether his dream was in becoming a legendary marine like Monkey D. Garp, or becoming the king of the pirates like Gol D. Roger; I'd be by his side.

I wiped the sweat off my face as I exited the Dojo and headed back to the orphanage, it was getting pretty dark so me and Aoki went home for the day.
As we were walking back, a piece of paper landed in front of me and on the floor. Aoki reached down for the paper and read out the contents.
" 'Wanted, Dead or Alive: Red haired Shanks'. Woah! This guys a real big shot! His bounty is four hundred million."
I chuckled at that, just wait until you see his bounty when he becomes a yonko.
4.48 billion berries! if I recall, this is around the time shanks and his crew stole the Gomu Gomu No Mi from the World Government.
Who's Who got punished yata yata, they most likely updated his bounty out of frustration haha.
"Brother, when will we set out? I want to see you become a great pirate already!" Aoki said with her cheeks puffed, getting a laugh out of me.
"Only when my adorable little sister can protect herself!"
"Hmph! Who do you think I am? I'm going to be apart of the future pirate kings crew! I'm definitely strong!" Aoki said as she flexed her nonexistent muscles.
"Damn right! Hahaha" I most definitely wanted to become pirate king, though I don't really think it's possible unless I get the Gomu Gomu No Mi.
I'll damn sure enjoy becoming a tough obstacle for Luffy though. A devilish laugher broke out of me, frightening Aoki.

[5 hours ago, Mary Geoise: Pangaea Castle]
"Pururururu"
"Purururu"
A den den mushi suddenly went off inside of the room of authority, in Pangaea castle.
A marine with the rank of captain, answered the call and looked startled as he received the information.
"S-Sir" The marine captain called out, getting the attention of a tall old man.
The old man was bald and wore glasses, he held a samurai sword in his hand and wore a white gi.
"What is it?" The elderly man asked while not even looking at the marine captain.
"U-umm, the Gomu Gomu No Mi. W-we've lost it." The captain said nervously.
"We've lost it?! How do you lose a devil fruit?! Wasn't Who's-Who told to guard it?!" A bulging vein appeared on the old mans forehead, scaring the lights out of the captain.
"Y-yes it was under, Who's-Who's watch. He says it was stolen by the Red haired pirates."
"Damn! Dismiss Who's Who and send the bastard to Impel down!" The infuriated old man ordered the captain, frightening him.
Of course the old man was no normal person, being able to order a marine captain, and even scaring them just shows his authoritative power!
Though if one of the Five Elders, the council of the highest ranking celestial dragons with the ability to end nations with mere words; and order around several kings of the world weren't able to order around a mere marine captain, than who could?
"Red haired Shanks, you were already a pain when you were with Roger. Now you're an even bigger pain!"
The elder said with his teeth gritted.

[??? POV]
"Achoo!"
"You okay captain?"
"Yeah, I think somebodies talking about me."
"Tsk, when are they not talking about you, you're our captain. The marines are probably really mad right now, hahahaha."
"Wow, I've never pictured you the type to care about marines. I'll tell the guy's all about that hehehe."
"Anyway, captain why'd you let that kid eat the fruit. I thought you wanted it for yourself."
"Hmm, wellI just had a feeling."

[Avery POV]
As I laid dowm on my bed in the orphanage, I wrote down every single piece of information inside my diary.
East Blue Arc, Arabasta Arc, Sky Island Arc, Water 7 Arc, Thriller Bark Arc, Summit War Arc, Fish-Man Island Arc, Dressrosa Arc, Four Emperors Arc, and Wano Arc.
There were way more arcs than these ten though, there were too many and I couldn't remember them all.
Though these arcs had the most important events, especially Summit War; a true man cried during that arc. I'll forever hate Akainu.
Though the Archipelago arc is easily the most important arc. Why you ask? It introduces the World Nobles or the Celestial Dragons, people with immense political and authoritative power.
Many of the villains Luffy and the rest of his crew faces after this arc, are due to the Celestial Dragons pulling strings.
It didn't do Luffy any good that he punched one of them, as they didn't like him afterwhat he did at Ennies Lobby; though the punch was well deserved.
Well I'll leave all this for tomorrow I'm mad tired, time to hit the hay!
