  ***********************************

  "The isnd of Zou? Funny name. Is that where you were born?" Law could not help but chuckle.

  Luffy smiled and said mysteriously. "Funny? Wait until you visit it iure. I bet you will be shocked."

  "Huh? R-Really? Is it so amazing?" Law was taken aback by Luffy's statement and asked.

  "Amazing is an uatement. I will definitely pay a visit there." Luffy smiled lightly and spoke in a longing tone.

  Law was really surprised and looked at Bepo, asking. "Is it really such a great pce?"

  Bepo smiled and nodded his head. "Yes!... I belong to the tribe of minks from that isnd. We lived in pead I got along well with my family until the day my big brother suddenly disappeared."

  "Without leaving any message?" Law asked, his brows locked together.

  "No nothing at all. I then made up my mind to go to the sea to search for him. Unfortunately, I got the wrong boat and nded here on North Blue..." Bepo replied embarrassingly.

  "You really surprise me. Damn, blunder..." Law said teasingly.

  Bepo uo read the teasing in Law's voiodded his head with a serious expression and tinued. "Yes... In addition to being tossed around in the waves, lightning almost fell on me several times, I really thought I was going to die there."

  "Hahaha!... What a fool you are! Even a bear that knows how to speak, is still a bear!" Law could not trol himself and ughed, happy after a long time.

  Hearing these words, the por bear suddenly stood up and tried to tie a rope around its neck which was lying on the ground.

  "Hey stop! I was ughing when I called you an idiot! Seriously, you are tile of mind, you!" Law quickly stopped him and snatched the rope from Bepo's hands, throwing it away. He then soled his panion the bear to help him chase away his dark ideas.

  'Holy, I would have been very annoyed if he took his own life for a simple joke.' Law muttered inside his heart.

  Luffy watched everything from the side and ughed. "Haha... what a fun bination. You two will make a great team."

  Law was embarrassed and gred at Luffy in anger before he sighed.

  "And so, if I uood correctly, you have o sleep, do you?"

  Bepo nodded his head. "Yes, that's it. In fact, I would love to take a boat to the New World, but I don't think I'll find one anytime soon ready to risk such a dangerion... As f to get there by my own means, regarding my current level of navigation, I would end up swallowed up by the waves before arriving safely."

  Law rubbed his and muttered. "So we say making progress in navigation in order to go in search of your brother is in a way your current 'goal'?"

  "Absolutely," Bepo replied with a serious expression.

  Luffy ughed at their versation and said. "What a lovely pair! Here... I have some books with me regarding the knowledge of the Navigation. You read them if you like. I will bring more iure. Law, you also teach these fighting teiques to this bear too. When you guys are ready, I will teach you both Haki."

  "Okay," Law nodded his head and asked Bepo to follow him.

  The embarrassed bear stood up and followed him, timidly.

  "By the way, you didn't give me a name," Law remembered that he never asked the other party his name.

  "My big brother's name is Zepo. In the Mink nguage, it means 'handsome kid'..." Bepo was very nervous and blurted out without thinking much.

  Law felt his facial muscles twitg and said. "I'm not talking about him, but about you! It's your name I want to know!"

  "Ah me ?! My name is Bepo." Bepo excimed aed his name.

  Law smiled and introduced himself. "Bepo, OK. I like it, it's easy to pronounce. I am Law. Trafalgar Law."

  "Law, okay." Bepo walked behind Law and called happily.

  Luffy watched the two of them disappearing into the distand stretched his muscles as he too decided to return back to Foosha Vilge. He could already foresee Ann and Uta searg for him.

  And if he didn't return quickly it could cause trouble.

  And just as he had predicted, just as he nded, he was surrounded by two pair of sharp eyes whistantly put him under great pressure.

  "Luffy, where have you been until now? I searched for you everywhere, but I don't see your shadow at all," Ann said, ging to his arm.

  Uta quickly grabbed his other arm and said. "And don't even try to lie to me. I asked Shanks to use his Observation Haki to search for you."

  "Huh?" Luffy was dumbfouo hear that and g Shanks who seemed equally helpless.

  He might be the first Yonko to do that—no, wait. Luffy had do when he searched for Boa sisters in the cracks.

  Both Luffy and Shanks sighed together, looking very helpless.

  Luffy tried to free his arms, but both coiled over them like koas. He sighed and replied. "Why are you both like this...? I just went out to py around. It is not like something happen to me. I not even have this freedom?"

  "Then take me together with you ime!"

  Both of them said simultaneously.

  Just as they fihey went on to gre at each other.

  "I said it first."

  "So what? Luffy promised to py with me!"

  "Hah! Dream on. He is going to train with me."

  "Training? I let Shanks train you if you want."

  "Oh really? Then you ask Shanks to py with you."

  Luffy was helpless and looked very pitiful almost on the verge . He looked at Shanks for help but the tter ughed and turned around his head.

  "Alright girls. Leave poor Luffy alone!"

  Just when it looked like a war would start, Makino came to the rescue. She cpped her hands and said with a dangerous smile.

  "He will her py with Uta nor train with Ann. Luffy will help me mahe bar."

  "But..."

  "No more food for anyone who disagrees." Makino smiled coldly and said.

  Ann and Uta instantly released Luffy, who took a breath of relief before joining Makino behind the ter.

  Ann and Uta could only sit at the table with sad expressions.

  Luffy g both of them and shook his head before he turned his attention to Shanks.

  "Oh yeah, Shanks. When are you going on your adventure again?"

  "Uh, in a couple of days. Why? Do you want to e with us?" Shanks asked.
