the weather is nice today.

For pirates, it is also a good day to go to sea!

There were a few white clouds floating in the high blue sky, and seagulls were flying in the sky, making happy calls.

This is a pier not far from Windmill Village.

at this time.

Under the bright sunshine, a young man wearing a straw hat, a red vest, blue shorts, and open-toed straw sandals was waving his hands happily and looking at the villagers who came to see him off at the pier.

today.

It was he who agreed with Ace and Sabo to go to sea and start pursuing freedom.

Accompanied by the sound of waves and seagulls.

The young man showed his white teeth and a sunny smile, waving his hands, "That's about it, everyone, I'm leaving!"

"Luffy, are you leaving now?"

"Yes! After all, this has been agreed upon! Maginot~" Luffy smiled heartily, looking at Maginot who had always taken good care of him with a look of reluctance, "Don't worry, I'm very happy now.

Strong!"

"In this case, if you see Ace, tell him that we miss him too!"

"I will! And even if it's Ace, I will defeat him!" Luffy lowered his hat and said with a very happy smile, "Then I'm leaving!"

As he said this, he smiled and looked at everyone who looked helpless because of his words.

Then.

Without any hesitation, he directly untied the rope from the bitt!

As a man of the sea, since I have already decided to go to sea, there is no need to ink.

And looking at Luffy, who was alone like Ace back then, driving a small boat and rowing slowly away, the villagers of Windmill Village also showed happy smiles on their faces, waving their hands and watching him leave.

】

The naughty little devil back then has grown up!

"I finally left! Village Chief~" The bar owner, Maginot, wearing a tight casual T-shirt and a simple hip-hugging skirt, had her hands on her hips and a smile on her face, watching the people gradually go away.

From the boat, he said with emotion, "The village will be lonely in the future!"

But after hearing Maginot's words, the village chief, Upp Schlapp, who was dressed in a beach suit and crossed his arms, said with dissatisfaction, "It's a shame to the village, you want to be a pirate!"

"

You must know that their village has produced naval heroes, but in the past few years, the children have so much hoped to go to sea and become pirates?!

This is discrediting the village!

The words fell.

Maginot didn't care about the village chief's complaints. She pursed her lips and snickered, looking at Luffy who was rowing the boat farther and farther away with crooked eyes.

She knew in her heart that although the village chief was complaining, his heart was full of worry and reluctance, and he was also secretly watching Luffy?

The whole Windmill Village knows it.

The village chief likes the three Luffy brothers very much!

However.

At this time.

Sudden.

Just as the villagers of Windmill Village watched Luffy leave with smiles.

"Wow~"

There was a turbulence on the sea, and a huge wave surged from the side of Luffy's boat.

Suddenly.

Everyone felt anxious and looked up. They seemed to have thought of what it was!

really.

Just when everyone was anxious and worried, a huge... like a sea snake appeared in front of everyone!

King of the offshore!

The monster that bit Shanks' arm off ten years ago!

This terrible monster appears again!

Maginot came back to her senses instantly, looked at Luffy on the boat hurriedly, and shouted quickly, "Luffy! Little..."

However.

The words are not finished yet.

But he suddenly stopped, his face was no longer flustered, and he looked at the figure standing on the boat quietly with a smile.

now.

Everyone seemed to have thought of something, and they all looked at it with a smile.

That's right~, the little kid who loved to cause trouble back then... no longer needs to be worried!

Luffy him!

It has become very strong!

That’s what I just thought in my heart!

really.

I saw Luffy on the boat standing up with an indifferent smile, "Have you come out yet?" He looked at the monster that appeared in front of him without any fear, "King of the offshore sea!"

Then he clenched his fists and raised them slightly.

"You have found the wrong opponent. Try the tricks I have practiced for ten years!"

The king of the offshore sea seemed to feel the ridicule of the weak creature in front of him, and he roared angrily.

"Roar!!!"

However.

Facing the roar of the King of the Near Sea, Luffy stretched out his right hand, and then shot towards the King of the Near Sea in an instant, "Pistol!"

"boom!!!"

It hit the offshore king directly in the face.

Just one move...

Under the gaze of everyone, he directly beat away the monster-like King of the Sea!

Then.

Luffy retracted his fist, bathed in the sea water splashed by the King of the Near Sea, and looked in front of him blankly under the sun, "Do you know how powerful it is? Stinky fish!"

Raise your fist and face forward.

The two-year-old eyes are full of dreams and their faces are shining with light.

"First, gather the partners! I want ten people! Then, the pirate flag!"

He has become stronger!

And the agreement with Shanks!

Shanks...everyone...wait for me!

Said with a smile.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Under the gaze of everyone.

The young man took a deep breath with high spirits, then raised his hands, puffed up his chest, and shouted to the blue sky.

"One Piece! I'm determined!"

However.

The words just fell.

Sudden.

My eyesight went dark.

Before Luffy could react.

A deep voice came.

"What kind of king do you want to be?"
