Shanks grinned, "Teach! What a pleasant surprise."

Shanks motioned Luffy and Zoro to Boa who took them into a back room. Teach slowly walked up to Shanks with a big toothy grin. Zoro complied following Boa into the backroom. But Luffy stayed, holding onto Shanks jacket.

"Ah old friend, I'm surprised the whore is settling down." Teach laughed.

Luffy frowned, "Don't you talk to my dad that way you stinky old fart!"

Shanks put his hand over Luffy's mouth, "Ah ha, This is my son, you probably remember him back in the day."

"Quite a mouth you have on your boy there Shanks. Be better learn to keep it shut before I shut it for him."

"He means no harm in it, Luffy is just all bark no bite."

Luffy pulled Shanks hand away, "Your a fat old man who can't see his toes! I bet your a hobo!"

Teach chuckled softly stuffing his hands into his pockets. He stood before Shanks towering over him. Shanks was pinned against the counter and Teach. While Luffy stuck to his side. His dark eyes glanced to Luffy who frowned up at him.

"Better keep your mouth shut boy. It will get you into a lot of trouble someday."

"Fuck you." Luffy hissed.

Shanks snapped to him, "Luffy."

He glanced to Teach as he swung at him. Shanks ducked grabbing Luffy and rolled away. He scooped up Luffy and set him behind a counter.

"For once, please. Shut up." Shanks pleaded.

Luffy nodded as Shanks turned back to Teach. He watched as there was a pair of golden brass knuckles on his hands. Both having sharpened spikes of three.

"You should put a muzzle on your boy. I can teach him a lesson if you don't have the balls to."

"Come after my son, and that will be the last thing you do."

Teach charged at him as Shanks dodged jumping over his back and lead Teach away. Luffy poked his head out as Zoro motioned him over. Luffy shook his head before turning to Teach and Shanks. Shanks dodging his attacks while he ran into counters.

"So who is the lucky woman to have you settle? Hm?" Teach rumbled.

"That's none of your business."

"Oh come on, you gonna invite me to your little wedding? Eh?"

Shanks grunted as Teach clocked him, he stumbled to the floor before staggering up. He panted softly as Teach came at him again. Where he was hit in the side. Teach held him down while he kicked him in the side. He chuckled as he noticed Luffy poking out from behind the counter. Shanks slowly picked himself up as Teach went ater Luffy.

"Luffy run!" Shanks cried.

But he was too scared to move. Shanks tried to get to him. But Zoro got there first. Grabbing a fire extinguisher, he pulled out the pin and sprayed Teach. He hissed backing off. Zoro turned to Shanks who grinned finally getting up. Zoro took Luffy into the safe room while Shanks finished the fight. Shanks was able to lay a few blows on Teach with the fire extinguisher. But. It wasn't enough.
Shanks lied on the floor breathing heavily as his blood pooled to the floor from his open wounds.

"Now after the brat." Teach grunted.

Shanks picked himself up as Teach went over to the room. He pulled open the door and grabbed Luffy.

"PUT ME DOWN YOU FAT PIG!" Luffy hissed.

Teach tossed Luffy onto the floor as he rolled and hit the counter. He grunted rubbing his head. Shanks hurried to grab him and held him close while glaring daggers at Teach.

"Don't. Touch. My. Son." Shanks hissed.

With that final blow. Luffy saw blood. Then Shanks collapsed to the floor. Luffy panicked as the doors swung open and Teach was arrested. Luffy rolled Shanks onto his back while tears formed in his eyes.

He gained a new wound. A cut of three across his left eye. Blood covered over the left side of his face.

"Dad?" Luffy whimpered.

There was no response.

"Dad!"

Luffy shook Shanks clutching onto his clothes.

"Dad! Come on! Wake up. It's not funny!"

Yet Shanks still didn't respond. Luffy cried out curling close to Shanks and clutching onto his clothes. The paramedics tried to get Luffy off but he just clutched on tighter. Until Zoro pulled him off.

"Luffy. If you want dad to get better, you have to let him go." Zoro barked.

He sighed as Luffy cried harder. Zoro pulled Luffy up into a hug while Zoro watched them take Shanks into an ambulance. The door swung open as Mihawk and Perona came inside. He sighed in relief seeing Luffy and Zoro were alright. But his eyes didn't fall onto Shanks.

"Where's Shanks?" Mihawk asked.

Zoro pointed to the ambulance, "He's going to the hospital."

Mihawk turned to the ambulance as the sirens sounded and zoomed away. He turned back to Luffy and Zoro.

"Tell me, What happened?" Mihawk asked.
