Buggy said, "Heh heh... Is the D. Family, hidden within the river of history, about to make its appearance? But they have a choice in whom they support! In the past, they believed Luffy was the only choice, but now Teach has emerged, giving them another option!"
Shanks shook his head. "Teach already betrayed them. When he fled, he even badly injured one of the elders who came after him. ...That was also when Teach left this scar on me!"
Hearing that, Shakky stared at Shanks's scar. "So that was when you got it!"
Buggy looked at Shanks. "Don't be too optimistic! Luffy may be decent, but he still falls far short. After all, the Gum-Gum Fruit is utter trash and severely limits Luffy's growth. That alone makes it difficult for him to gain those people's recognition! I even suspect those people have come out now precisely because they don't think highly of Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit!"
Shanks was rendered speechless and could only respond with silence.
Shakky shot Shanks a glance. "Little Shanks... You really handled this matter poorly!"
Cold sweat trickled down Shanks's forehead. "I didn't know Luffy would be such a glutton, and he ate even faster than Sister Shakky could catch someone. But although the Gum-Gum Fruit is somewhat lacking, Luffy is still from the Monkey Family!"
Rayleigh sighed. "This isn't a thousand years ago! Although the Monkey Family is a royal family, there are three other royal families within the D. Family. Among the four royal families, they don't have to choose the Monkey Family!"
Buggy said, "That's right... The four great royal families of the D. Family! First: the Monkey Family! Second: the Gol Family! Third: the Marshall Family! Fourth: the Stalin Family! Among the four royal families, Luffy is royalty, and so is Teach.
