One Piece The Strongest Warrior

monkeys he was having trouble with fall down instantly to the ground. He looked left and right, noticing that the monkeys had fainted from something the boy was doing. ”It is the same thing Shank did before when he saved me. You
e so cool!! ”

Leo smiled wider as he extended his hand to the young Luffy to help him up from the ground, ”Im Leo, and Im glad I finally get the chance to meet you, Luffy. ”

He scratches away the dirt on Luffys cheeks and rubs his stomach in hunger. A dozen birds fell to the ground in the sky as Leo still smiled, seeing the food he knocked out. The food is the birds. He has no interest in eating those monkeys. It grosses him out.

”Food!!! ” Luffys eyes glowed with excitement as he picked up the birds that Leo knocked down from the sky with water dripping out of the corner of his mouth.

”We should get a feast going, Luffy. Im quite hungry too, ” Leo said, picking some birds up along with Luffy.

In the middle of the night, as they were eating the food, Leo asked Luffy, ”Hey Luffy, how come you
e stuck in the middle of the forest? ”

Hearing this, Luffy gave a sad face, ”It is all because of my old Gramp. He threw me inside the jungle as a form of training. ”

Garp? Leo remembers the image of the marine hero Monkey D. Garp. He is truly an inspiring person that he hopes to meet.

Leo watches as Luffy counts his fingers, ”I think Gramp will come to pick me up in about a month. Im not sure how long it has been since Im stuck here. ”

”What have you ever been eating this whole time, Luffy? You can even fight the monkeys, ” Leo jokes. He takes another bite of the food as he smiles, seeing Luffy grumble about his grandpa.

”Mostly mushrooms and other small animals, ” Luffy scratches his head awkwardly.

”Leo, can you stay with me? Im planning on becoming the next Pirate King, ” Luffy said confidently. ”I want you to be my first shipmate! ”

Leo smiled and shook his head, ”I can , Luffy. Im not interested in being a pirate. I want to explore the world unrestrained and on my own. ”

He looked up at the sky filled with stars glistening like a million diamonds, countless and immeasurably beautiful.

The moon hangs in the sky above. It is like a glowing lamp that lights the entire forest as the sky opens itself fully without the clouds blocking the way.

”Thats so boring, Leo! An adventure needs teammates, ” Luffy jokes. And the both of them laugh together in that silent night.

”You will always be welcome to come on my ship, Leo! You
e a cool guy, ” Luffy smiles widely, and Leo finds that charisma of Luffy to be exceptionally infectious. He is sure that Luffy didn just eat the Rubber Rubber Fruit. Maybe it also had the Friendship Friendship Fruit. Otherwise, theres no proper explanation for why he always makes friends left and right.
