After, Shanks, his crew, and Luffy return to a pub, owned by Makino, in Fooshia Village. After a bunch of mountain bandits harass Shanks, he laughs it off. Luffy is furious, but eventually comes to realise that Shanks did the correct thing. During their stay at the pub, Luffy comes to eating the Gomu Gomu no mi (a Devil Fruit). Later during that day, Luffy confronts the mountain bandits and is beaten. The mountain bandits, lead by Higuma Bear, decide to execute Luffy, but before they can, Shanks and his crew come to save the day. Luffy is over-joyed that they came to save him, but Higuma Bear threatens Shanks at gun point. But one of his crew, Lucky Roo, protects Shanks by killing one of the mountain bandits. Higuma realises that he underestimated Shanks and his crew, and escapes, taking Luffy as a hostage. Higuma takes Luffy out to sea, where he plans to drown him. He talks to Luffy about not messing with him, and kicks him into the sea. Luffy sinks (since he ate a Devil Fruit). The sea monster sneaks behind Higuma, and devours him. Luffy is now threatened by the sea monster and the sea. The monster swims towards Luffy. The monster chomps to eat Luffy, but is saved by Shanks. Shanks then gives the sea monster a "death stare" (later known as Haoshoku Haki). In order to save Luffy, Shanks has his arm bitten off by the sea monster. They return to land, where Shanks and Luffy say their goodbyes, and Shanks leaves Luffy with his precious Straw Hat. |
