The moment Gawain finished speaking, Sabo in the distance was completely stunned.
He stood there speechless and remained silent for a long time before murmuring softly.
“Give the right to rain... to the umbrella seller?
This...is really relevant to today's world..."
After saying that, Sabo lowered his head in silence. He seemed to see the umbrella held in the hands of countless people.
In this world, there are really many people who are barely surviving on the little things leaked from the hands of the nobles.
Those people may be farmers or individual small traders.
They held their umbrellas with difficulty, trying to keep themselves dry under the heavy rain.
The heavy rain continued all day long, so they could only continue to hold on to the umbrella in their hands... which was sold by the umbrella seller.
Umbrella sellers let people know that walking in the rain is impossible without an umbrella.
They also let people know that without an umbrella, you are not qualified to blend in with the crowd.
They even guide people from generation to generation, making people feel lucky and satisfied that they have such a mere umbrella.
In this way, people gradually forget that whether there is an umbrella or not should not be the key to a dry day.
Shouldn't the key be whether it rains or not?
The villagers of Windmill Village in front of them had their hands full of umbrellas sold to them by the umbrella seller before Gawain decided to come.
But once the umbrella seller controls the rain, it exceeds the umbrella's ability to withstand it.
Then, the windmill village disappeared in an instant...
Their umbrellas cannot stop a particularly heavy rain, but the people who decide how heavy the rain will be are the people selling umbrellas...
Thinking this, Sabo slowly clenched his fists.
He felt that perhaps Gawain's identity as an uncle was too inconsistent with the pursuit of the revolutionary army.
But I have to admit that sometimes, Uncle Gawain is indeed doing something beneficial to the world...
Although the pursuit of the revolutionary army is to overthrow Marie Joa and defeat the group of aloof Celestial Dragons who can easily manipulate the rain and celestial phenomena!
But the Tianlong people here should not be a noun, but an adjective.
It's more used to describe evil in fairy tales, isn't it?
And while Sabo was thinking in confusion, Gawain continued to speak.
After a brief pause, he continued to wave to Ace.
"My words have always taken root. I want to give Windmill Village a sunny day, and that day is right around the corner.
Don't worry, Ace.
Lu Qi is already dealing with those damn nobles in Windmill Village.
Even if you participate, the speed will not increase much.
So, you might as well spend some time with the villagers who took care of you and have a few drinks.
Maginot is very worried about you."
"me……?!!"
Across from him, Ace hesitated and frowned after listening to Gawain's words.
He thought again and again, and finally nodded heavily.
"Okay then, I'll listen to you, uncle!
In short, if Brother Lu Qi can't handle it, then I will definitely deal with them!
Damn it, you actually dare to demolish my hometown!!!
Damn it!!!"
After scolding him fiercely, Ace rushed to Gawain's side unhappily and grabbed Gawain's wine.
After taking a deep breath, Ace first let out a heavy breath, and then he settled down next to Gawain.
Just when he sat down, Mackinaw looked at him in surprise for a while.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Maginot would really not have been able to imagine that Ace and Gawain were so good that they could grab drinks at will!
However, recalling what Gawain had just said, Maginot was no longer shocked.
On the contrary, she even understood Ace somewhat.
He made an unusually straightforward decision, and decided to directly return the sunny weather to Windmill Village!
This kind of person... seems really suitable to be a friend!
But...even if they have a good relationship, Ace shouldn't be like this.
What about the manners you taught him in the first place?
Was it eaten by the sea breeze?
Thinking of this, Maginot approached Ace and looked at Ace fiercely.
"Ace-kun, long time no see, it seems like you have picked up the curse words again!"
"Well……."
Facing Maginot's accusation, Ace smiled awkwardly, and then he quickly pointed his finger at Sabo.
Ace said while wagging his finger.
"Sister Maginot, isn't this the time to talk about this?
Look, this guy Sabo is back!
This is the top priority today, isn't it? My things are all small things.
How about you continue training me tomorrow?
Please save some face for me today, eldest sister!"
After finishing his words, Ace raised his head and smiled fawningly at Maginot.
Seeing this, Maginot really couldn't say anything else, so she turned around and came to Sabo.
Looking at Sabo who looked a little shy and full of nostalgia in his eyes, Maginot sighed with emotion.
"You have suffered, Sabo. The past has left many scars on your body."
After saying that, Maginot couldn't help but look at Sabo's face, where the traces of burns were clearly visible.
Looking at those marks, Maginot could completely imagine how much suffering Sabo had suffered.
For a moment, Maginot pursed her lips and handed the wine in her hand to Sabo.
"It's my fault, Sabo. After not seeing you for a long time, even I felt a little too happy.
It's such a happy day, so we shouldn't bring up those disappointing topics.
Come, come quickly, let's have a few drinks with everyone.
When you were young, you always liked to steal wine, but you could never steal too much or drink too much.
Now that you have grown up, you can drink better!"
After the words fell, Maginot looked at the wine in Sabo's hand and showed an encouraging look.
Opposite him, Sabo nodded heavily, then drank the wine in his hand with red eyes.
At the same time, behind Sabo, Luffy, who was still only 1.55 meters tall, looked over with envy.
While watching, he muttered expectantly.
"That's great, you can all drink, Sabo, and Ace!
You look like a pirate when you drink like this!
I usually want to drink it, but my eldest sister never agrees!
Ahhhhh, when will I be seventeen!
I also want to drink a lot of wine, eat a lot of meat, and then sail freely on the sea like a pirate!!!"
Having said this depressedly, Luffy looked aside depressedly, his eyes locked on Gawain.
The next moment, he forgot about the depression of not being able to drink. He suddenly jumped in front of Gawain, then he landed cross-legged on the ground and said to Gawain curiously and excitedly.
"By the way, haha, I seem to have forgotten to thank my great benefactor!
You are Uncle Gawain, right?
Ace and Sabo said that they were able to meet only because of your care.
Thank you so much, Uncle Gawain!!!”
After the words fell, Luffy grinned and gave Gawain a serious bow.
Beside Gawain, looking at Luffy's solemn look, Hancock narrowed his eyes strangely.
"Gawain~."
She said to Gawain doubtfully.
"I wonder if you have noticed that after meeting this boy, I suddenly felt a little happy?
Is this some kind of fruit ability, or is it that even I am infected by the joy of children?"
"oh?"
Hearing Hancock's words, Gawain was slightly stunned, then he frowned and looked at Luffy.
At the same time, the officers around him all looked at Luffy's appearance.
After a moment, Yixiao nodded heavily and said.
"Miss Hancock's senses are really sharp, that's true.
Although I can't see it, even just listening to this child's voice makes me feel unconsciously relaxed.
This feeling is really too light. If you hadn't mentioned it specifically, I might have just thought that I had thought of something interesting.
This feeling is very special!”
"That's right!"
As soon as Yixiao finished speaking, Crocodile on the side couldn't help but rush to speak.
"I don't know what everyone thinks, but I know that people like me rarely have happy moments!
But just now, I inexplicably imagined the future.
I seem to see a beautiful picture of me following in your footsteps and bringing all the world under control!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Crocodile's facial features became tense. He was worried that he had been affected by some inexplicable fruit.
At the same time, Rayleigh, who was not far away, suddenly showed an expression of realization!
Xia Qi was the first to see Lei Li's eyes, so Xia Qi's fingers holding the cigarette tightened sharply.
I just heard her ask Riley.
"This ability can make people feel a little happy inexplicably...
Rayleigh, is this...that fruit?"
"It should be!"
Rayleigh responded simply, then he stood up and walked towards Luffy, who was sitting in front of Gawain and smiled stupidly.
At this time, Luffy was still looking at Gawain's face. He planned to remember his benefactor's face in his eyes!
This is the great benefactor who brought Sabo back into his life!
Although he doesn't seem to need his own repayment now, when he becomes the Pirate King in the future, he must give him part of the treasure!
Only in this way can I repay his kindness!
Just when Luffy was thinking this, Rayleigh had already arrived behind Luffy. Rayleigh stretched out his hand, pinched Luffy's ear and gently pulled it.
Suddenly, Luffy's ears and half of his face deformed along with Rayleigh's movements. He was like a ball of extremely soft plasticine, and his entire face was elongated...
After seeing this scene from a distance, Uta couldn't help but pat his forehead.
"Oh, this guy, I haven't seen him for so many years, and he still looks so stupid!"
After finishing his words, Uta waved to Luffy.
"Hey, Luffy!
Do you only have eyes for Sabo and Uncle?
Come and see who I am!
It’s a shame that I was competing with you...competing..."
Speaking of this, Uta suddenly noticed something, so she quickly covered her mouth in horror!
However, once some things start, they cannot be stopped by ordinary people!
With Uta's horrified expression on his face, Luffy, who was about to ask Rayleigh why he pulled his ear, was immediately attracted by Uta's voice.
As Luffy's head became more and more deformed, Uta's words had already been heard in his ears.
So the next moment, Uta, who was filled with regret, heard the words she least wanted to hear in her life!
"Hey, red hair and white hair?
Wait, you are... you are Shanks' daughter?
You are Uta!!!"
Having said this, Luffy stood up suddenly and continued to shout to Uta in great surprise.
"I remembered, it's you, it's really you!
Hahahaha, that’s right, we were still competing over who could pee farther!
You lose miserably, hahahahaha!!!”
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
The moment Luffy finished speaking, Uta's soprano almost penetrated the entire mountain range. Even Dadan and his party, who had gone to the mountains to hunt for the villagers early in the morning, heard the scream.
So they immediately gave up on hunting and rushed towards the villagers' settlement!
At the same time, here at the temporary tavern, just as Uta screamed, everyone around was stunned by what Luffy just said!
You know, although Uta is young now, she is still a tall and graceful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
As a result...I pee farther than anyone else???
For a time, a happy atmosphere filled the entire area, and no one considered Luffy's ability to make people happy involuntarily anymore.
Even Gawain couldn't help laughing. While laughing, he kept reciting interesting words.
Hearing Gawain's chanting voice, Hancock stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, then leaned into Gawain's ear and asked.
"Is this kind of thing... really interesting?"
After the words fell, Hancock blushed and lowered his head, and saw her tidying up her hair on the temples while whispering shyly.
"If Gao Wenjun really finds it interesting, then the Ai family... the Ai family... um~.
If we are alone in a place, then the Ai family can compete with you...with you~~"
After saying this, Hancock became extremely shy, and then he fell into Gawain's arms.
At the same time, Rayleigh also laughed and raised his drink to everyone.
"These kids are really fun, haha. I've probably laughed more and more in the past six months!
Come, have a drink and pay tribute to this kid who makes people smile uncontrollably!
Also, I already know about his fruit, and it is indeed an extraordinary fruit.
I promise that this fruit is harmless to us. As for the specific situation, I will take the time to introduce it to you!
Come, cheers!"
For a time, the crowd filled with laughter and laughter echoed with row after row of ton, ton, ton, ton.
As the drinks went down, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
Ace held Sabo in his arms and kept telling Luffy about the past six months.
Hancock held Gawain in his arms and silently watched Gawain chatting with Gion and others.
Rayleigh drank one cup after another. While drinking, he kept looking at Luffy.
I don't know why, but there would always be two parts of amusement and one part of regret on his face.
Xia Qi patted Lei Li on the shoulder from time to time, telling him to relax and stop thinking.
In such an atmosphere, Maginot sat opposite Village Chief Schlap and blurted out uncontrollably.
"That's great, village chief, I didn't expect everything to be like this.
When the village was first robbed, I thought that the future for all of us would be to hide in the mountains.
As a result, now, we not only see Ace who has returned, but also Sabo who has been away for a long time."
Having said this, Maginot showed a happy smile, and her smile made Village Chief Schlap breathe a sigh of relief as he gradually became less nervous.
"Yes, everything is really unexpected.
According to that adult, not only can we return to our hometown, but maybe even that Staley who robbed our village will get the punishment he deserves!
Speaking of which, what is Staley's last name and which noble family does he come from?
Is it Otelu...huh?!!”
At this moment, Village Chief Schlap turned his head sharply and looked at Sabo.
At the same time, Sabo quickly turned around and looked at Village Chief Schlap in great surprise.
"Village chief, what did you just say?
Who robbed Windmill Village?!!”
Having said this, Sabo stood up with great anger and rushed outside.
