Luffy followed Ace in the forest, the same events as the anime occurred. He went missing for a week and then he appeared again. Haruno had learned how to cook from Makino, so he controlled one boar and killed it to cook. He had stored salt and other things in his Room Room no Mi's room, so he could cook everywhere anytime. He gave a [Temporary Recovery Buff (Green)] to Luffy after he ate the food and put him sleep. After Haruno made sure Luffy was asleep, he looked at Ace with a 'smile' that didn't reach his eyes, his whole aura changed and he gently menaced: "If you hit Luffy and make him fall in an abyss again... I will throw you to the animals as food." Ace felt cold sweat running down his spine and he unconsciously nodded quickly. Haruno then smiled brightly and left the house to search for a new companion. He was currently searching for a Giant Vulture. That's right, he wants a pet Giant Vulture. Why, you may ask? Because he has a kid's body now and a Giant Vulture is big enough to carry him. Well, basically he wants a personal airplane...

After wandering in the forest for two hours, he found a Giant Vulture near death. His wings were broken and there was blood too, he looked at the Vulture and asked: "Do you want to live?" the Vulture looked at him confused, but the Devil's deal was too sweet. With the voice of a middle-aged man, he said: "I want to live." Haruno smiled and used his skill [Soul Connection] on the Vulture and stored him in the one room of his Room Room no Mi. He entered the room as well, the room was very simple, a giant bed where the Vulture currently was and nothing else. Everything around him was white, the ground and sky indistinguishable. The Vulture had already fainted, Haruno used on him his [Temporary Recovery Buff (Blue)], the only (Blue) recovery buff that he had. He then left the room and walked back to the house where he lived with the bandits now.

After some days, the Vulture was as good as new! His wings that were broken were now in perfect condition and his health was recovered to its peak. Haruno walked to the forest, removed the Vulture from his room and said to him: "Now, I'm gonna show you where I live, follow me! Gaharudo." Gaharudo was the name that Haruno gave to the Giant Vulture. The Giant Vulture nodded and said: "Yes, my lord." and followed behind him. Haruno said thousands of times to call him by his name, but then Gaharudo calls him Lord... Sigh... When they approached the house, Luffy was leaving again, running behind Ace, Haruno smiled. Ace and Luffy saw Haruno and saw what was behind Haruno too. Ace grabbed his weapon and rushed toward Gaharudo to kill him. Haruno looked at him and used his skill [Telekinesis] to stop him in mid-air.

Ace was stunned, Luffy looked at Haruno with his shining 'What's that?' eyes and asked: "Who's that bird?!" Haruno smiled. He pointed to Gaharudo and said: "Luffy, this is Gaharudo. Gaharudo, this is Luffy. And that idiot in mid-air is Ace. Say hi to them!" Gaharudo nodded and shouted a 'haa' sound. Ace was a little stunned, Haruno lowered Ace to the ground slowly and when Ace touched the ground he started to run away again and Luffy shouted: "Ace!" Haruno smiled and walked toward the house. He said to Gaharudo: "You can live here, you can even hunt when you wish so. you can literally go wherever you want, but when I call for you, you need to come." Gaharudo nodded and flew away.

Haruno tamed another bird, a normal crow. He asked the crow to follow Luffy every day. Three months later, Haruno touched the crow's head and the memories of the crow appeared in his head, Luffy running behind Ace and finding the Grey Terminal, the massive junkyard of the island. Haruno smiled and used his skill [Soul Connection] to send a message to Gaharudo. After waiting for a few minutes, Gaharudo appeared... He had double the size of a Giant Vulture now... Well, he asked to take him to the grey terminal, Gaharudo nodded and Haruno mounted him to fly to the grey terminal.

When he arrived at the grey terminal, he saw Luffy in the distance and said to Gaharudo: "Thank you, Rudo. You can enter the room now." then he used his Akuma no Mi and created a portal to his room for Gaharudo to enter, Gaharudo nodded and entered the portal, vanishing. Haruno smiled and followed Luffy from a distance, Luffy was shouting: "Ace! Ace!" all the time, searching for him, after an hour searching he saw Ace entering the forest again. He obviously followed and Haruno followed once again. Haruno made his crow, Kuroni, search for the BlueJam pirate, Porchemy! Haruno doesn't really want to follow the plot and let Luffy be tortured... But he needs to follow the outline of it. Just enough so that Ace and Sabo will trust Luffy... Haruno had an idea! He called all the rats of the grey terminal and used his skill [Soul Connection] with the biggest and strongest rat, making him the leader of the rats! Haruno smiled and said to the leader rat: "Your name will be Qwuoro. I want you to follow all my orders. Follow me." Qwuoro nodded and all the rats followed behind the small kid, there were perhaps thousands or maybe even millions...

He waited until Luffy was captured by the BlueJam Pirates and Ace and Sabo had switched the tree that their treasure was in. When they were resting he appeared, Ace was stunned at first, but then he asked: "What do you want?" Sabo looked at Haruno with a confused expression but didn't say anything, then Haruno asked: "Where is Luffy?" Ace, with disdain, answered: "I don't know." Haruno smiled, Ace and Sabo felt cold sweat run down their spine and Haruno said: "If something happened to Luffy... You two will pay for it." then he looked behind himself and toward the sky. Then he said: "Qwuoro! Come here!" Qwuoro left the bushes he was hiding in, a giant rat the size of a cat... Ace and Sabo were stunned and Haruno asked: "Search for Luffy. All of you." Qwuoro nodded and made a *squeeck* sound before several rats left the bushes, running toward the grey terminal.
