Long Summary
Despite being beaten up by Porchemy, Luffy insists on not saying a single thing to them about Ace and Sabo`s theft. Then Porchemy decides to go on the hard way and brings out his special sword. The moment he was going to kill Luffy, Ace and Sabo on a rush destroy the room they were in and fight Porchemy. Ace tells Sabo to pick up Luffy and make a run while he`ll be confronting Porchemy. Sabo asks why won`t Ace escape with them on which he replies that he never runs away from a fight. Sabo then gets into such a situation, that he leaves Luffy on the ground and decides to fight alongside Ace. Their battle is won by Ace and Sabo surprisingly. Then the other shocked Bluejam Pirates report Porchemy`s loss and the two kid`s victory. Bluejam goes to Porchemy and sees him badly wounded. Disgusted that his finest crew member was defeated by mere kids, Bluejam kills him with a Flintlock Pistol.

After recovering from their injuries, Luffy starts to nag. Ace tells him to stop nagging and disturbing them. Luffy tells him not to die ever because he is his only family apart from Garp. Ace then reminisces of his past, back when he was wondering whether the existence of Gold D. Roger`s son would have been right, on which the people answered that he would be a devil who wouldn`t deserve to be born. Ace accepts Luffy`s reason and starts a quarrel with him commenting about who is the strongest until Sabo steps in and stops them. Then they go hunting.

They hunt the animal and then Luffy decides to show his very first technique which he claims is very effective after Sabo tells that being a rubber man is useful on a fight because they can shrink, extend, become wide and stretch very long. Luffy uses his very first attack Gomu Gomu no Fusen, an attack that he says can deflect anything from attacking him, even a cannon ball. Then Ace kicks him and Sabo too and they play with him by throwing him which leads him to falling into the river. He is nearly eaten by a gigantic crocodile but just swallowed. Ace and Sabo gets angered and then beats up and kills the crocodile and takes out Luffy. They decide to eat the crocodile for supper but Sabo suddenly tells to him that he has to check something so Ace and Luffy tag alone with him too. Realizing that Bluejam`s crew has been searching them for a long time, Sabo creates a plan but they are caught by one of the crew members but they make a narrow escape. Then when night comes, the Dadan Family get surprised seeing three children much to their dismay. They ask Luffy and Ace who is the third kid but they don`t reply. So Dadan asks Sabo what is he doing in their house. Sabo requests Dadan to let him stay with her and the others with a comical way. Dadan then accepts it and stays content with it. Then the next day, Sabo alerts the Dadan Family that the Bluejam Pirates can come anytime. Dadan and the others get shocked and the three children runs away leaving their chores into the Terminal. The Dadan Family then prepares for exhiled from Earth, they prepare to make an effort to lie to the Bluejam Crew if they came and came to take away the three kids but the attempt fails and so Dadan decides to go on the hard way.. to refuse telling them where they are and so day by day Luffy, Ace and Sabo grow immense on their strength and vow to become stronger.
