Chapter 12
Ace quickly said: "The guards! Let's go." Haruno didn't notice that a gangster punched Luffy's face at this exact moment. The rubbery head caved in though no damage was made. While they were jumping the wall, Ace shouted: "Luffy! Don't stay there! This way! Luffy!" Luffy only made 'hum, hum' sounds since his mouth was still inside his head, like his nose, and eyes. He then threw his arm toward where Ace was, Haruno quickly opened a portal and jumped in it, appearing on the other side of the wall. Luffy's face catapulted over a few moments after his arms. They ran away as fast as possible. How could they enter the city every time even when the guards didn't let them inside? The answer was Haruno. He opened gates to enter and leave the city through the protective wall. The guards would probably never catch them.
After leaving the city, Sabo said: "Let's hunt a deer for dinner!" Luffy, with a happy expression, shouted: "I love deer meat! Let's hunt!" He left, behind him, Ace, Sabo, and Haruno were running trying to catch up. Haruno then said: "Ha... I'm gonna go home for now." Everyone paused when they heard him, every time they went
Haruno looked at Gaharudo and said: "No. I'm sure that he isn't a Giant Vulture. Maybe he is another type of bird, a sort of super Giant Vulture...?" Sabo then said: "How... can you not know what your bird is?" Haruno laughed and simply answered: "I just don't know! Well, See you later!" Haruno flew on Gaharudo's back until they arrived at Dadan's place. Haruno bid farewell to Gaharudo and entered the house. As he entered, he said to Dadan: "Dadan, the other three are hunting now. They'll come back later. I'm gonna go bath, bye." Dadan wanted to say something but he ignored her and walked toward the bathroom.
When it was near dusk, Luffy, Ace, and Sabo returned. Luffy shouted: "We're back!" When they were about to enter the house, Dadan shouted: "Don't enter! You idiots!" Just as the words left, a deer flew majestically through the air and landed on her face. Sabo, Ace, and Luffy walked inside regardless and Sabo declared: "Here's the dinner" Ace behind him added: "Cook it fast." Luffy joyfully said: "Dinner Time!" After a record time, the dinner was made and everyone was fighting for the meat. Haruno just used his Ak.u.ma no Mi to catch some portions and started to eat calmly and drink some green tea that he had made. A slab of meat hit Dadan's face from the right and left side one after the other. As a cup followed, drenching her, she angrily shouted: "Don't waste food!" Luffy bit at that moment Dadan's head, who started to run around and shout: "He's going to eat me!!"
Because the green tea also fell on him, Haruno had to take another bath. He sighed and followed Luffy, Ace, and Sabo to the bathroom. Dadan angrily said: "Don't leave until you count to ten thousand!" She then, 'calmly', slammed the door. Ace and Sabo were in a cauldron-bath [Ep: 479] while Haruno was was.h.i.+ng Luffy's hair. They laughed and played until the ten thousand countdown came to an end. They quickly left the bathroom and started to run inside the house, water dripping from their bodies. Haruno just said: "You three, please stop. Let's go to the room and put some clothes on at least. I'm starting to freeze!" After putting some clothes, Ace said: "Let's train one last time today!" Luffy shouted back: "I'm gonna win!" Sabo stared a bit dumbfounded at Luffy and said: "You never learn, do you..." Haruno then said: "I'm not interested. Good Night." Ace, Luffy, and Sabo fought until the ground broke under the pressure, making Luffy fall on Dadan's big belly.
The next morning, a good surprise was waiting for them! Makino and the mayor of Fuusha Village appeared! Luffy and Haruno rushed to her and shouted at the same time: "Makino!" Makino looked at them with a happy smile, she said: "Luffy! Haru!" and hugged the two. The mayor looked at them with a satisfied smile and said: "You two look great! It's been already six months since you two left the Fuusha Village." Haruno and Luffy both looked at the mayor and said: "Mayor San!" Makino smiled and with a finger near her mouth, she said: "Don't tell Garp we're here!" Haruno heard the mayor and Dadan fighting with each other and ignored the discussion. Makino smiled and said: "I have gifts! I think that Garp-san won't know about it, but... Surprise! New clothes!" Haruno smiled and said: "Thank you, Makino-san!" Luffy also shouted: "Ah! Tsuge!!" Makino smiled back: "I'm happy that you two like it. I will adjust the clothes to your sizes... And for you two too!" She looked at Sabo and Ace that were behind the door, looking at Makino. In the end, Ace and Sabo joined them. while Makino was adjusting Ace's clothes, she was commented about what she knew about him. In other words, mostly that he was a little demon. Luffy, Sabo, and Haruno were making fun Ace since these comments made him beet red.
Laughing, Sabo said: "So ashamed!" Luffy also commented: "So red!" and Haruno shouted: "Ace, you tsundere!" Luffy and Sabo thought a few seconds before asking: "What is a tsundere?"
