Chapter 77 The War is Over
The war is over but the mood of the Whitebeard Pirates was still bad.
They were thankful to him for saving Ace. At the same time, they were also thankful to Red Hair Pirates for bringing their leader back.
Ace and Luffy talked to each other since it had been a while for both of them to meet each other. They decided to separate from each other and would meet when they got stronger.
Ace went to him and said, "Thank you, I owe you."
"Yeah, you need to get stronger, your opponent is powerful," Haru said.
Ace nodded, "I know." He said and went back to his ship with everyone. He wanted to go back to their islands in the New World and buried their father there.
Luffy, Ivankov, and Haru didn't go with them but stayed with Shanks.
Ivankov brought his queer army with them.
Shanks decided to open a party in the middle of the night with everyone since he met him for the first time.
Luffy was also happy to meet him.
Haru also joined them and talked with them curiously. The manga didn't have that much information about Red Hair Pirates and he was curious about their power. He also wanted them to teach him haki somehow. He thought it was very wonderful to learn it since it helped him in the fighting. He still remembered that his zipper was a bit useless when he was fighting against Akainu.
"Sure, you want to learn haki," Shanks said.
"Really?" Haru was surprised.
"I have the notebook here, I'll give it to you," Shanks said and gave him a notebook about haki.
"Thank you," Haru didn't expect that he would give it to him as soon as possible. He opened the notebook curiously and started to read the introduction.
"What is haki?" Luffy asked curiously.
They gave him strange eyes but also understood how he didn't know about it.
Haru gave him an explanation about a strange power that would make him stronger. He also told him it helped him to beat someone that was impossible to touch such as Smoker.
Luffy started to remember both Smoker and Enel. He didn't expect there was a power to help him to fight that kind of person. He thought that he needed to train that power too.
Shanks told him that he would send them to Sabaody Archipelago to meet an old friend there.
They started their party together singing, drinking, and eating together.
Haru found him alone and said, "Luffy."
"Hmm?" Luffy looked at him.
Haru gave him the phone, "Here is the phone, you can use it now."
"Thank you," Luffy looked at him and asked, "Are you going?"
Haru nodded, "I miss my little sister." He had stayed quite a long time in this world, even though the time in his world was stopped by he still missed his little sister.
"Don't forget to come back later, I need to introduce you to everyone since you're part of my crew now," Luffy said.
"Hahaha, you should train to get stronger first, there are a lot of strong people in the world," Haru said.
"Really?" Luffy asked.
Haru nodded, "Your dream is to find a One Piece, right?"
Luffy nodded, "Of course, I'm gonna be the Pirate King!!!" He looked at him and asked, "What about you?"
Haru thought for a while and said, "Right now, I'm trying to recruit more people to our group chat."
"Group Chat, huh? I can't wait to see what is inside this group," Luffy said.
Both of them talked for a while until it was the right moment.
"Alright, I'll go back now," Haru said.
"Yeah, goodbye," Luffy said.
Haru opened the group chat on his phone and pressed [Yes]. He was engulfed by light and went back to his world.
Luffy looked at the sky and suddenly heard a sound from the phone. He opened the group chat and said a notification.
[Congratulations to Monkey D. Luffy for joining the Group Chat!!!]
Kuroneko: "Welcome to the Group Chat!!!"
Gintoki: "Welcome to the Group Chat!!!"
Tsunade: "It's only a second and he has invited him?"
Yajima: "We can't worry about that later, but for now, welcome to the Group Chat!!!"
Luffy smiled and replied, "Yes, thank you!!!!"
"Luffy, where is Haru?"
Luffy turned his head and saw Ivankov there. He looked at him and said, "He goes home, he said that he wants to meet his little sister as soon as possible."
"Huh???? DAMN, THAT SIS-CON!! HE IS GONE WITHOUT TELLING US!!!" Ivankov was angry.
"Hahahaha, don't worry, he will come back, Iva," Luffy laughed.
Haru came back to his home. He still wore his Impel Down uniform and he wanted to take a bath right now. He was glad that he had received a notebook about haki and he could learn it later.
Suddenly the door of his room was opened.
"Haru!!!"
Sora appeared in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Haru was shocked looking at her. He walked toward her and asked, "Is there something happen?"
Sora didn't say anything and hugged him.
"Sora?" Haru was confused.
"I feel like you've been away for a while," Sora said.
Haru wasn't sure how she could feel about it. He caressed her head, "I'm not going anywhere."
"Hmm," Sora nodded. She looked at him and asked, "Are you trying to cosplay on something?"
Haru nodded, "Yeah." He could only say that to him. He talked with her for a while and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Sora who was outside suddenly said, "Haru."
"Hmm?" Haru was still in the bathroom.
"Can I change my family name into mom?" Sora asked.
Haru was shocked, "Why?"
"I - I don't want to forget about mom, can I do it?" Sora asked.
Haru thought for a bit and nodded, "It's a bit hard, but if that's what you want, I can help you."
"Thank you," Sora said.
Haru went out of the bathroom and went to the living room. He was with her while looking at his phone. He saw that Luffy had started to have interactions with the other members. He was also quite curious about what he would get from the lottery.
[Congratulations! You have got a -]
All of sudden before he finished reading the reward, he felt weak and pain on his body, 'What is happening?' He gritted his teeth, trying to hold his screams and sweating a lot.
Sora, who was beside him playing a game, suddenly startled, "Haru, what's wrong?" She became very worried when she saw him in pain.
Haru started to remember maybe it was the effect of the hormone injection before, 'DAMN IVA!!!!'
"Haru, don't die!!!" Sora was crying and afraid of something to happen to him. She panicked and suddenly remembered, "I - I'll call the ambulance!!!"
Haru wanted to say to not worry but he fainted because of the side effect of the hormone injection.
