The pirates celebrated Luffy's courage despite Shanks berating Luffy for how stupid the stunt was. Luffy would get angry for being treated like a kids by Shanks, his anger grew further when a bunch of bandits made a mockery of Shanks as he has chosen not to engage in a fight. The young boy would eat the Gomu Gomu no Mi Devil Fruit during the confrontation, which led to Luffy temporary dismay of loosing the ability of not being able to swim. Trouble would take a step further as Luffy over hear the same bandits that mocked Shanks, Luffy despite angry at Shanks earlier showed the young boy still cared as he yelled at the bandits to take back their comments. Luffy almost died that day, but Shanks saved his life from both the bandits and a Sea King monster, costing the Red Haired Captain his arm.

Luffy learned a lot that day, he would be given the Straw Hat by Shanks and promised him to return the hat till Luffy shows he's become a great pirate. Years after training and struggling conflicts, Luffy set out to sea at the age of 17.

## Trivia

	+ The initial episode would assume the idea that Kermit had killed Luffy, but since 'Perfect Cell vs Luffy | Ft.Megami33' it was revealed that Luffy survived due to his immunity to bullets.
* Despite Luffy's label as a pirate, his pirate crew doesn't pillage from villages. Luffy reputation as a criminal in the eyes of the World Government be pushed further than he already is when the Straw Hat Pirates declared war on the World Government when they have his friend and fellow crew-mate, Nico Robin, to be executed.
