"No! I resigned!" Hearing Maginot's helpless voice and the village chief's words that he hated iron, Luffy didn't care, lowered the straw hat that was very important to him on his head, and avoided the village with a smile.
After taking off Grandpa's crutches, he said with a smile, "I plan to go to sea today!"
"You brat are still preparing to go to sea?" Although his crutches were dodged by this brat, the head of Windmill Village didn't care. Instead, he said with a solemn expression on his face, "Have you forgotten the country of grass?
It is stipulated that no one can go to sea to become a pirate, and now that the place is starting to get better, there is no need to leave anymore~"
Ever since the Kingdom of Grass came and the nobles of the Kingdom of Goa were hanged, life here has been the same day by day.
A real new look!
The scavengers who once picked up garbage at uncertain terminals now have a job that includes food and accommodation, and the bandits on the mountain of Colbo Mountain and the gangsters in the border towns have been eliminated.
Except for some extremely vicious bandits and hooligans who had committed human lives and were executed, others who became bandits and hooligans because they were forced to live a life of helplessness, the Country of Grass also gave them a chance.
Let them undergo labor reform and ideological reform!
I heard that the Dadan family, who had been on leave last time because of their good performance, came over and complained that it was very tiring to undergo labor reform inside. Not only were there political reports and ideological reviews, but criticism and self-criticism meetings and grass-spirited study classes were also held at regular intervals.
And the labor reform awareness conference...
Of course~
Although the faces of the Dadan family are full of complaints, it can be seen that they are still quite satisfied with their current life. While complaining and drinking, they also mentioned that Dadan's eldest sister was praised by her superiors for her good performance. Everyone laughed very much.
of joy.
And in the end, they didn’t get credit from Maginot as usual?!
In front of everyone, these former bandits paid for their hard work, pele by pele.
Although they have been complaining about how little their wages are, it can be seen that... those guys are still quite proud.
Live a different life!
And now here we don’t have to worry about being oppressed by nobles, bullied by bandits and gangsters, and we don’t have to worry about being attacked by pirates again. The whole country has a well-organized political system and is in a state of great ruin. How about living a good life?
Mayor Schlap looked at Luffy and said with a serious tone, "Is it because you don't like the logging work? If that doesn't work, just come to Windmill Village to move bricks~, there is also a lot of infrastructure construction here.
The village chief and I are quite familiar with the foreman, can I arrange a bricklayer for you?"
"No need! In fact, I quite like the big pot rice at the lumber mill! The food there is delicious~"
"Then why do you still want to go to sea? Aren't you afraid of having your legs broken again?"
"Because this is my agreement with everyone!" Luffy looked at the village chief with a smile, then lowered his hat, raised his head slightly, looked at the afternoon sunshine on the horizon, and said firmly, "It's been delayed for so long.
, I should also go to sea!"
He had obviously agreed on the time to go to sea with Ace, but it took so long. Ace probably couldn't wait any longer!
And Shanks...
He promised to return the hat to him personally.
Then.
Become the Pirate King!
"Although that uncle is very strong, I will definitely defeat him in the future!"
The words fell.
"..."
Maginot and the village chief looked at him helplessly and silently.
Of course~
So many years.
They also know this boy's character and will never give up so easily!
"Forget it! You brat! It seems that even the village chief can't stop me!" Schlap clasped his hands behind his back, muttered in a low voice, then turned his head and looked at the windmill under construction behind him.
Village, "Anyway, I didn't hear anything about you brat going to sea just now, so don't bother me!"
With that said, he turned his back to Luffy and walked towards the Windmill Village.
Maginot, who was left with a helpless look on his face, shook his head, "The village chief is really..."
But he didn't finish speaking. He raised his head and looked at Luffy, who was looking happy in front of him. He seemed to have remembered something and said, "Then how do you plan to go to sea this time? That small boat had already sunk to the bottom of the sea!"
The words fell.
"Hmm~?"
After hearing Maginot's words, Luffy also showed a rather troubled expression on his face, as if he was deep in thought.
But in the end, he looked at Maginot with a smile and said, "I don't know!"
"..."
Before Makino could speak, who was speechless because of his words.
I heard Luffy say again, "But as long as we go to sea!"
Then he seemed to see something, and ran directly to the side where the wine barrel of Maginot was placed.
Your eyes instantly light up!
At this time.
Without Luffy saying anything, Maginot had already guessed what this kid was planning to do, and she covered her head helplessly, "You couldn't be planning..."
The words are not finished yet.
"That's right! Maginot, lend me this!"
"..."
Is that really the case?
In the end, Maginot, who couldn't resist this kid, could only agree to "lend" the barrel she used to store wine to Luffy.
And after Luffy got the wine barrel, he didn't stop, and without even preparing anything, he carried the wine barrel to the dock at Windmill Village.
That’s right, it’s still the same pier as that day!
And it was this guy who went to sea!
only.
This time, she was the only one to see Luffy off.
Watch as he throws the poke into the water.
Then.
After Luffy jumped into the water and twisted around with a satisfied smile on his face, Maginot hesitated for a moment and said with some worry. "Luffy~, how about... let's wait a few more days~, let's see
See if we can find a ship? I always feel like this is dangerous?"
"No! Maginot, don't you think this is great?" Luffy, standing steadily on the barrel, looked at Maginot with a smile and said, "Ace and the others must have been waiting for a long time.
I’m going to sea!”
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to everyone?"
"No need! We've already said it! Then I have to go~" Luffy shook his head and said with a smile, then retracted his hand holding the dock, turned his back to Maginot, and deeply
Take a breath.
Then.
He suddenly raised his hands, bathed in the sunshine, and shouted loudly, "One Piece! I'm determined!"
After saying that, he shrank his body into the wine barrel and closed the lid.
Seeing that Maginot, who was standing on the pier to see him off, shook his head helplessly.
This kid...
It hasn’t changed since I was little!
"Isn't that right? Village chief?"
"This brat! Thinking about being a pirate all day long is simply a shame to the village!" The village chief, who appeared out of nowhere, was also standing at the pier, looking at the wine barrel drifting farther and farther in the sea with emotion.
After a moment of silence, he said with emotion, "This time... I guess I won't see this brat come back!"
After all, that gentleman...
It seems that it has already gone to sea and is no longer here!
…
at the same time.
the other side.
Somewhere in the sea near the island of Zengoa Kingdom.
"Hey, Leader Mang, Lord Madara, there is a wine barrel floating in front of you, as if there is something there?"
A certain grass ninja on the ship just finished speaking.
A low and serious voice sounded, "What is it? Forget it, let's fish it up and take a look!"
