"That guy said Luffy is a kid then he drank Booze to prove he is a "MAN"." Ao looked at the guy that offered Luffy the Booze and made a quote with his finger, replying to Makino.

"Isn't that interesting, Hahaha." Shanks laughed out as he heard what Luffy said.

"Come here kid! What's your name?" Sahnks asked Luffy who came near him.

"I is *Hic* Lufy" Luffy asked in his drunken stupor.

"Guys, Look at the kid." Shanks said as he grabbed everyone's attention to Luffy.

"Did you Make the Kid drink, Captain?" Benn asked Shanks.

"He drank it to prove he is a man" Shanks told Ben.

"Haha, He sure did." Benn said with a laugh.

"One toast for Lufy." Shanks said as he raised his beer glass, Everyone also raised their glasses and clattered them for a toast.

"It's Luffy, He is drunk, Remember?" Ao corrected shanks.

"Okay then, one more toast for Luffy." Everyone did another toast.

"Want a Glass of Orange juice, Luffy?" Shanks asked Luffy who nodded. They were in Makino's bar and A few hours passed since they came here.

"I love orange juice." Luffy enthusiastically said, he was sitting by Shanks, Ao, Ace and Sabo.

"Makino, One glass of orange juice for Luffy." Shanks said to Makino.

"Comming right up captain." Makino said as she served Luffy the orange juice.

"You three want something too?" Shanks pointed at The other three.

"Orange juice." Both Sabo and Ace Answered.

"Milk." Ao Answered Shanks.

"Okay two orange juices and Milk? Who likes milk?" Shanks said with a weird face.

"I like milk, It makes you stronger." Ao said as he flexed his arms. Shnaks and his crew laughed upon hearing that.

"What? You guys don't like milk, Drink it, It does wonders." Ao said as he drank the milk that Makino gave him.

"Wa, Hahahaha. I can't stop, haha, Laughing." Shanks said to Ao who could only help but sigh.

"Don't mind them Ao, They don't know what they are talking about." Makino said to Ao with a smile.

"Thanks, Makino." Ao replied to Makino.

"Hey Ao, How old are you?" Shanks asked Ao.

"I am 14, Any problem with that?" Ao told shanks.

"14, Huh, You have any dreams?" Shanks asked him out of curiosity.

"My dream, I want to become the greatest pirate Ever." Ao replied to shanks.

"Wahaha, The greatest pirate drinking milk." Shanks laughed along with his crew.

"Haha, Good luck on that kid." Yassop replied while laughing.

"Same as Yassop *Munch* *NomNom*" Roo replied while eating.

"I will just go outside, I give up." Ao said as he exited out of the door, leaving Shanks and his crew laughing.

"Shanks you shouldn't tease him like that." Luffy told shanks, shanks looked at him funny.

"Why, Is he the Grandson of Vice admiral Garp or something?" Shanks laughed.

"No, But I am." Luffy told shanks, Shanks couldn't hit Luffy lying from his tone of speech.

"You are not smart Luffy!" Shanks said as he patted the boy's back.

"He isn't lying, his grandfather is really Monkey D. Garp." Makino told shanks.

"Are you being serious?" Shanks face went wide.
