"Hahaha, I just came to you for a drink!" Faced with the impatient tone of his old friend, Shanks, the captain of the red-haired pirates, didn't care. He still looked cheerful and took it very casually.
He picked up the red wine on Mihawk's table, drank it all, and frowned slightly, "I heard that you are going to the East China Sea in a while?"
"Hmm~" After hearing Shanks' words, Mihawk frowned slightly, then lowered his head and glanced at Shanks.
Especially looking at his empty left sleeve, why don't you know what this guy is doing here?
When this guy came back from the East China Sea, he not only lost one of his arms, but also lost his favorite hat. He was very shocked at the time.
After all, the weakest sea... who could hurt him like this at that time?
Even though Shanks hadn't become the Yonko back then, still not just anyone could inflict such serious injuries on him.
And lost his most important straw hat?
After replying calmly, "Hmm," Hawkeye lowered his head and looked at the newspaper in his hand, and said calmly, "I'm bored, so I'm going to take a look! And you guy... Since you don't like it, just
Don’t waste my wine!”
"It seems that the changes in the East China Sea have also interested you."
"It's just boring!" Seeing that this guy ignored his words and continued to waste his wine, Hawkeye frowned helplessly and closed the newspaper in his hand, "I was going to see if I could meet him by the way.
I made you lose one of your hands, and you also voluntarily gave away your hat, kid!"
"Hahaha, Luffy?" Hearing Hawkeye talk about Luffy, Shanks looked particularly happy and laughed again, "That kid will definitely surprise you! I have always believed that he will
He will become a great pirate!"
"Really? But the day you mentioned to go to sea should have arrived!" Hawkeye ignored Shanks' boastful words.
Every time I talk about that kid, this guy will be very happy.
That's why he was a little interested in the kid who had not yet gone to sea but was so recognized by Shanks!
"But there hasn't been any big incident in the East China Sea during this period. On the contrary, the Kingdom of Grass suddenly appeared and hanged many pirates!"
"Hahaha, you guys don't doubt that Luffy was also hanged!" After hearing Hawkeye's words, Shanks seemed to have heard something very interesting, laughing and snapping pictures.
Holding his own thigh.
I don't know how long it took, but he seemed to have calmed down, and with an indifferent and confident smile, he said, "That guy is not stopped so easily!"
"I hope so! But aren't you worried about the Goa Kingdom? Didn't you say you have many friends in the Goa Kingdom?"
"The old guy isn't nervous, why should I be nervous?" Shanks shook his head indifferently, but after saying something that made Mihawk a little confused, he stopped talking about this topic.
Then, still with a faint smile, he held up the empty wine glass in his hand and said, "That kid will definitely surprise you then!"
As he said that, he ignored Hawkeye who was a little angry because he had ruined his wine. He raised his head slightly and looked into the distance with his eyes, as if full of expectation.
"He is not a peaceful boy! Just like the captain back then, maybe it won't be long before we hear about what big incident he caused that shocked the sea!"
Do you still remember the agreement we made back then?
Luffy, you must have gone to sea now, looking for a group of friends of your own, and start your own adventure!
I'm waiting for you in the new world!
His eyes were filled with expectation...looking closely into the distance.
finally……
The expectation in his eyes seemed to have drifted across the sea, as if it had landed on a kid on crutches, wearing a straw hat, and with a bruised nose and swollen face.
As if he felt something, he held the crutches tightly with both hands and stood firmly on the shore, looking at the vast sea in front of him with determination in his eyes, "I! I will definitely become the man who becomes the Pirate King!"
Wait for me, Shanks!
And Ace!
I will definitely go to sea.
However.
The words just fell.
A co-worker hurried over. When he saw the figure standing alone on the sea, looking into the wind, his face suddenly showed a happy expression, "Luffy, so you are here! Hurry up, the foreman is calling you.
Cut down the trees!”
"Okay, here I come~"
"Hurry up, work has already started, and your injury...do you really not need to let the doctor take a look?"
"No need! I just want to have a big meal later!"
As he said that, he seemed to have forgotten his determination just now, and the Straw Hat boy happily walked towards the lumberyard with his cane.
…
the other side.
After the corruption crackdown in Shields Town ended, the Country of Grass also took over Shields Town.
In Shieldstown, the big tiger, Colonel Monka, was beaten, and this town, which had been plundered and under high-pressure rule for a long time, gradually returned to production and life.
And under the various policies of the Country of Grass such as providing relief for work, poverty alleviation, and expanding construction, today's Shields Town is gradually becoming more lively.
at this time.
Shieldstown Pier is also bustling with activity.
Because after the key construction plan of Cocosia Village was established, a group of workers were going there to assist in the construction of the first phase of Cocosia Village.
After all, the geographical location of Cocosia Village is extremely important, and at the same time, there are not enough villagers near Orange Island. In order to speed up construction, some labor force can only be transported from nearby islands.
"Get on the boat! Get on the boat quickly! The boat is about to sail!"
"Don't worry, I said food and lodging will be provided there, and food and lodging will be provided! I will never lie to you. Everyone must believe in the Country of Grass."
"Hurry, there's not enough time, and there's Zoro! Which way did you turn? I'm shouting here, where are you going? Come here quickly!"
"..."
As if he heard someone calling him, a green algae-headed swordsman who was turning to the right suddenly stopped, turned back stiffly, and shouted in an impatient tone, "I know!
I just...want to buy something! Are you, the foreman, annoyed?"
"Didn't you say you want to save money to buy a sword? What else do you want to buy? Really, they said wood planers don't use swords!" The man called the foreman still shouted impatiently, "
Why don’t you come up quickly!”
"I'm a swordsman! Not a wood planer!" Under the urging of the foreman, Zoro impatiently walked up to the boat. "My dream is to become the world's best swordsman!"
"I know, I know! Don't wait any longer. You must know that among all the wood planers here, you are the one I value the most.
I heard that there is a very powerful woodcutter over there in Goa Kingdom, who can cut down many trees at once. You are the ace of our team, so don’t let that kid compare you to you!"
The foreman didn't seem to care about Zoro's nonsense, and still said cheerfully, "And I heard that the first engineering team of the Kingdom of Grass will also go this time. You have to learn from your seniors then. If you perform well, you will go there."
I will find a place for you in the literacy class. As long as you study hard, you will definitely become a senior technician in the Land of Grass!"
"I told you I'm a swordsman~"
"Okay! Okay! Now I'm going to arrange the work first. The ship has sailed. Don't run around. The wood planer's dormitory is over there."
"...You said I'm a swordsman!"
Zoro looked at the foreman's leaving figure with a dark expression on his face. After he disappeared, he sighed and looked at the vast sea in front of him.
After bidding farewell to his master, he became a bounty hunter on the sea, fighting pirates to hone his sword skills.
As for why you came to be a wood planer?
It has to start with when he was detained by the navy here for a month because he saved a little girl. Finally, he was accidentally rescued.
At that time, a group of people wearing strange green clothes broke in and immediately helped him untie him. They also said that he had been cleared of his grievances. The local big tiger was caught after the incident and he was free!
Although he was very confused about what happened, since it was alright, he left.
But when I was about to continue going to sea as a pirate hunter, I discovered...
There are no more pirates in the East China Sea!
I heard that it was also cleaned up by that Grass Country. Therefore, no pirates could be found. In order to fill his stomach, he could only find a job to make a living temporarily.
There is no way, I am forced to make a living...
As a result... he was sent to this island again!
But not to mention that as a skilled person, his salary here is quite good.
only.
He still hasn't forgotten the promise he made back then...
Sauron looked at the sea in front of him with firm eyes, his right hand tightly holding a white long sword at his waist, and murmured to himself, "Become the world's number one swordsman!"
The words just fell.
"Gugu——"
A sound like drumming sounded.
Zoro came back to his senses, lowered his head subconsciously, and then touched his belly, "Forget it, let's eat first!"
As he said that, he raised his head and looked around again.
"Didn't you say that food and accommodation are included on the ship? I don't know if meals have been served yet?"
