3: Chapter 3 Shanks arrives and eats the Gum-Gum Fruit.The day after Garp left, Luffy was casually eating and drinking at Makino's tavern when he heard shouts outside: "Pirates are here!The Red-Haired Pirates are here!"
At that moment, Luffy heard the system's voice: "Ding dong, the arrival of the Red-Haired Pirates has been detected.The moment of destiny has begun.The mission panel has been successfully unlocked.Would you like to view it?"

Seeing this, Luffy walked to the door and saw a large sailing ship with a skull and a dragon head at the bow docked in the harbor.Luffy immediately recognized the red-haired man who got off the ship, but he pretended to be puzzled and asked Makino, who was standing next to him, "Makino, do you know them?"
"Yes, before Luffy came, Mr.Shanks and the others often came to our Windmill Village for drinks," Makino replied.
"Mr.Shanks, you're here for drinks again."
Shanks walked into the tavern, and Makino asked the red-haired man a question.
"Yes, the wine here is the best.Hmm, who's that kid next to you?"
"I'm not a brat!" Makino was about to reply when Luffy said, "My name is Monkey D.Luffy, and I'm going to become the strongest pirate."
"Hahaha, really?A brat like you?(●°u°●) 」"
"What, you look down on me?Don't underestimate me just because I'm small now.When I grow up, I'll definitely become the strongest pirate!(;≥皿≤)"
"Luffy, don't let your grandpa hear you, or he'll give you a dressing down again," Makino said worriedly."Grandpa, ah, so you're that old man's grandson," Shanks thought to himself, "Heh heh, let's see if I don't completely convince your grandson to become a pirate.Heh heh, just thinking about it is hilarious.Son is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, grandson is a pirate ٩(๑òωó๑)۶, you'll be chasing me all over the place."
"Shanks, Shanks, can you take me with you on your next voyage?" Luffy asked.
"You, you little brat?Forget it, can someone like you become a pirate?" Shanks said with a grin."Why can't I?I'm really good at fighting, and besides, I'm not a brat," Luffy said angrily.
Luffy pretended to be sulking and turned his head away.He accidentally saw a box and excitedly thought, "So this is my Gum-Gum Fruit." Luffy looked up at the crowd.
"Hahaha, let's drink to Luffy's courage!" the crowd in the tavern cheered.(;≥皿≤)
"Ding dong, congratulations host for completing the mission, you have received 500 Pirate Coins."
While everyone was distracted, Luffy quietly opened the box.Inside was a fruit that looked exactly like a cantaloupe, but with spiral patterns on it.Luffy picked it up and took a bite."Holy crap, what the hell is this?System, didn't you say the side effects were gone?Why does it still taste so awful?凸(＞皿＜)凸"
"Yeah, the side effects are gone, but I never said it tasted good, hehe (●°u°●) 」"
"Luffy, what are you eating!" Shanks noticed that Luffy seemed to be gnawing on what looked like the Devil Fruit they had stolen.
Hearing this, Luffy quickly finished the rest of his food, then said guiltily, "I didn't eat much, just a regular piece of fruit.⊙ω⊙"
