03: Quest [Edited]

Haruno woke up the next morning with a happy expression. Today, he plans to ask Makino if she needs help with basic tasks a kid like him could do in the bar. Getting up from his bed, Haruno looks at himself in the tiny mirror that was hanged in the room and with a satisfied smile, gets downstairs. Makino smiles when she sees him come out and greets him: "Good Morning." Haruno then smiles and politely said: "Good Morning, i didn't present myself when we first met, my sincere apologies. My name is Haruno, what is yours, beautiful lady?" Makino was stunned and with a sad expression, she responded: "Oh, my name is Makino." Haruno smiles and asks again: "Is there something that i can do for you? I want to help you and repay your kindness." Makino was about to reject him, but she smiled and said: "Okay, if you wish to assist me, you can help me serve the guests in my bar!" Haruno smiled and nodded.

Today the bar didn't have too many guests, just two or three. Haruno was a little bored but then, the bar's door was opened and a man with a straw hat entered the bar. Haruno almost died! 'It's him! Akagami no Shanks!' with a happy smile, Haruno looked at Shanks and waited. Behind him, his crew followed as well, Yasopp, Lucky Roo, Benn Beckman and the others too. Makino looks at them and smiles while saying: "Welcome... Oh, Shanks! It's been such a long time since i last saw you!" Shanks looked at Makino, noticing the kid behind the counter and with a playful smile, he said: "Makino! I didn't know you had a son!". Everyone on the bar looked at where Haruno was, then Yasopp laughed loudly, pointing at Haruno: "Look! Red hair too! Are you sure he isn't your son instead, Shanks?" everyone started to laugh at the comparison, which made Haruno a little mad, but he didn't care about it. Then Haruno looked at Shanks with an impish smile and, with a playful tone simply asked: "Dad?" Even Makino couldn't hold her laughter at this point and started to laugh as well. After this joyful moment, everyone installed themselves and commanded what they wished for, mostly food and obviously beer.

They were singing and talking to each other, when the bar's door opened again. But this time, a little boy with black hair entered the bar. Yes, it was Monkey D. Luffy. The protagonist of the story. Haruno was busy doing what he could do at the moment, serving the guests, one member of Shank's crew shouted: "More beer here!" Haruno smiled and shouted too: "Going!" This reminded him of his part-time job from his past world, as a waiter in a restaurant. Well, after serving beers to several tables, he sat down to rest for a few minutes. His body now was one of a kid, so he needs to rest quite a lot. Luffy approaches Haruno and with a smile, he asks: "Nee... You... What is your name?"

Haruno thought about it last night, then with a smile, he answered: "I am Haruno. Haruki D. Haruno." Before Luffy could say something in response, a member of Shank's crew shouted: "More Beer Please!" Haruni got up and with a smile, and shouts: "Yes! Going!" Luffy looked at Haruno's retreating back and started to search for Shanks to talk to him, ask him about his adventures and other things. After some minutes, talking and laughing, the door of the bar was kicked off. All of the laughs abruptly stopped and a voice could be heard from outside: "Sorry for the interruption." the owner of the clearly not sorry voice entered the bar while talking: "Oh... So these are pirates? They look like a bunch of idiots." Haruno already knew what would happen now, but he didn't intend to interact with those guys if he could help it. The man entered the bar and stepped on the door that he himself kicked in, breaking it off its hinges. He approached the bar and Makino simply greeted: "Welcome." The man looked at her and demanded: "We are mountain bandits. We aren't here to break your bar. We want ten barrels of sake." Makino politely said: "I'm sorry, we don't have any barrels at the moment."

The man with a sarcastic tone looked around and said: "Hm...? That's strange... The pirates are drinking something... Is it water?"

 Makino, one more time, responded politely: "All the sake that we had is on the tables now." then Shanks said: "That's no good. We drank everything. Sorry." He grabbed a purple bottle that was beside him and handed it over to the bandit: "If you want you can have this. I didn't open it yet " then the same thing that happened in the anime occured now before Haru's very eyes, with a punch of the man, the bottle was broken. At the same time, a *ding* sound appeared inside Haruno's head, then a screen appeared:

[New Quest!]

[Making fun of a mountain bandit!]

[Objective: After the bandit says: 'I'm a wanted man! My bounty is worth 8 Million Berries!' you need to make fun of him and make everyone or at least someone in the bar laugh. Good Luck!] [Rewards: +100 SC, +50 XP, {Free Temporary Random Buff}]

Haruno became speechless, he needs to make fun of a bandit? Haruno's brain started to work at an extremely high speed as he heard the quote: "I'm a wanted man! My bounty is worth 8 millions of berries!" Haruno took a deep breath and declared confidently: "8 Million? Oh! Now i remember! The marine system didn't get an update yet. So they give high bounty for every idiot that appears in the world. I think i should be a mountain bandit too... I just need to be a mountain bandit, since I'm already an idiot."

Everyone in the bar looked at Haruno and Haruno then shouted: "Wait! I'm not an idiot!" *pfff* they didn't know who started to laugh, but it quickly spread, everyone in the entire bar laughed in the end. The mountain pirate boss looked at Haruno and was going to say something, but for some reason, he left quickly with a darl smile on his face. Luffy was laughing as well making Haruno start to think about the plot he just derailed of the One Piece world: Bandit makes Luffy mad --> Luffy eats the Gomu Gomu no Mi... But Luffy isn't mad anymore! What will happen now? While everyone was laughing, Luffy looked at the chest on the bar and saw the fruit, with a happy smile he started to eat it as a snack. Haruno breathed a sigh of relief, the plot returned to normal. It seemed the flow of things wouldn't be changed so easily.
