Maginot passed through the crowd and saw the handsome man with flowing red hair. She suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes.
She lost her footing and fell forward. At that moment, Maginot held the baby firmly on top of her head, waiting for her to land on her front.
"Why are you so careless?"
A strong arm wrapped around Maginot's waist, and a familiar voice echoed in her ears.
"How long will you stay this time?"
Makino turned her head and looked at the man in front of her dreamily.
"I won't leave for now." Shanks forgot what he had just said without hesitation. He looked at the child in Maginot's hands, looking like he wanted to ask but seemed unable to.
"I originally wanted to name your child when you come back, but Dadan said you might not come back for a while, so I gave him a nickname [Weixi]."
"[Visi]... Do you hope?" Shanks held Maginot and Visi in his arms. Although the arms were not strong, they could give Maginot enough warmth and security.
!
"Let's go back to the tavern first. You must be in a hurry when you come out like this..." Shanks let go of Maginot and tidied up Maginot's hair that was scattered due to running with one hand.
hair.
Makino responded with a smile.
"I said, Vice Captain, what do we do now?"
On the Red Forth, Jesus had a long nose and was holding a wine gourd that was shaking in his hand. He looked enviously at the red-haired figure who was hugging Maginot and leaving with the child.
"What should we do? Just do what you have to do. Let's go have fun and don't make trouble. I'll take Uta to visit Windmill Town. Jesus Bu, you should also go back and see your wife...
··Hey, the man on the sea, the most sorry thing is his own family."
Beckman turned his head and waved to the Jesus cloth. He was going to replenish some drinks first. Because there was another banquet on the ship, the supplies replenished from Rogge Town were gone again!
In the tavern, a group of men looked at the two people talking and laughing as if they had eaten flies. One of them was the object of their crush, a flower in Windmill Town and the proprietress of the tavern, Maginot.
The other person is red-haired, slovenly, and unkempt...
Well, these are the disdain in the hearts of people who dare not say anything. In fact, when someone recognized this person as the famous red-haired one of the only remaining four emperors, many people fainted with fright.
This kept Makino and Dadan very busy.
"Mackino, it seems that the vegetables are running out. How about I go buy some."
Business is going on as usual, except that there seem to be a lot of people ordering vegetables today.
It seems that in this special atmosphere, green is more suitable for these guests.
Dadan poked his head out of the back kitchen. Because the tavern was not a big place, Maginot was usually busy by himself. Later, when the business got better, he asked Dadan to help.
"Ah, let me go. Dadan, please greet the guests."
Maginot wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Shanks who was drinking tea at the bar and looking at the baby in his arms tenderly. The soft smile on the corner of his mouth made the guests at the tables next to him feel heartbroken!
【Okay! Here are some more dishes of vegetables!】
Maginot said a few words to Shanks, rejected Shanks' request to accompany him, kissed Shanks' forehead very gently, and then left the tavern with a smile.
Shanks looked at Makino's retreating figure and couldn't help but tease the baby in his arms with his fingers.
He came back to Donghai more than a year ago. At that time, Donghai was being consolidated by the revolutionary army. He only stayed in Windmill Town for less than half a month, but it was a half month full of memories.
Now it seems that those half months may have brought him more than just memories!
More, it will be a bond!
In the tavern, there were a lot of people during meal time. The busy Mackinaw and Dadan were sweating from exhaustion. When the meal was over, there were only a few drunken guests who were put to rest in the corner.
.
Maginot was clearing the dining table back and forth, while Shanks was still holding his son there and having fun.
It is worth mentioning that every time Shanks came over, he would have consumed most of the wine in Macchino, but this time, half a day had passed and Shanks had not touched a drop of wine.
Dadan wanted to serve Shanks wine several times, but Shanks refused.
"Busy working?"
After watching Maginot freshen up a little and come over to sit down, Shanks asked softly like an old couple.
The little baby in his arms was already asleep, and Shanks didn't want to wake him up.
"Mackino, where's Weixi? Let me take a look, haha~"
The door was pushed open, and the rough sound immediately woke up Wei Xi. He opened his mouth and cried immediately.
"Ah~ I'm sorry, I didn't know Weixi was already asleep~"
The visitor immediately expressed his apology, and then looked at Shanks sitting at the bar with some confusion.
"Long time no see, Lieutenant General Garp."
Shanks turned his head and saw Garp, whose face was red.
Garp wanted to get angry and grab the red hair, but when he saw the red hair gently coaxing Wei Xi in his arms, he suddenly suppressed all his anger.
"I see, I should have thought of it a long time ago."
Garp seemed to be sulking and sat down on the chair, staring at Shanks.
"As the Four Emperors, why did you come back?"
Although Garp was very angry that Shanks wanted to abduct his grandson, luckily Qingshui Mo and Qianyue guided Luffy on the right path.
Now seeing Vesey, whom he regarded as his third grandson, smiling happily in Shanks' arms, Garp actually felt bad inside.
He had known about Maginot since she was pregnant, but he had never been able to find out who the man who got Maginot pregnant was.
After all, when Shanks came back last time, many people in Windmill Village were busy making their lives better, and did not pay attention to Shanks who was hiding his traces.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Crunch~
The door was pushed open again, and Beckman walked in with a cigar in his mouth, looking very comfortable.
"Hey, Shanks, those guys have been hidden by me. As for Uta, I also asked the mayor to take care of it. You..."
As soon as he entered the door, Beckman saw Karp who looked very unhappy and couldn't speak any more.
"Damn, if I had known that Lieutenant General Garp was here, I would have asked them to hide something."
Beckman scratched his head, but he didn't feel any pressure. He sat carelessly on the chair on the other side, picked up a menu and read it carefully.
"Hey, red-haired boy." Garp looked at Shanks for several minutes, then suddenly grinned, "You left Maginot behind for so long, haven't you thought about making up for it?"
Again, for the men on the sea, their family is something they will never be sorry for.
Regardless of what they often say, you will understand that a man’s ambition is the pirate flag or something, and you don’t know what he will dream about at night!
Beckman was sitting aside. Hearing Karp's sudden words, his mind was buzzing. He felt that something was wrong!
Doesn’t he still know the virtues of his own captain?
If there was no bond like a child, Shanks would only be sorry for Maginot, who loved him deeply. But after having a child, it would not only be Maginot who he would be sorry for, but also his child!
You know, when we were on the boat, everyone asked Jesus Bu more than once if he had ever regretted it.
Jesus Bu's answer was that he had no regrets and his family would understand him.
It is true that his wife did not see her husband before she died, but she did not seem to complain.
However, only old friends like them know that every night in the dead of night, Jesus likes to sit alone in the stern of the boat, drinking and chanting the names of his wife and children.
"Shanks, don't fall for it!"
Beckman looked at Maginot who was hesitant to speak, and seemed to have thought of what Garp wanted to say. He patted his cheek and looked at his captain expectantly.
Although, he knew he shouldn't have that expectation.
"Mackino got pregnant by herself, and then gave birth to Wei Xi. If it weren't for Dadan's help, I'm afraid this tavern wouldn't be able to open. You are happy outside, while Makino is exhausted here.
Are you satisfied that we have to feed Weixi?"
Every word by Garp pierced his heart, as if he was going to stab Shanks to pieces.
If he was facing a vicious pirate, Garp would not talk nonsense and would just serve him with an iron fist.
But Shanks is an exception. Most of his bounty is due to his status as a member of the Pirate King crew, and his inseparable connection with the World Government.
If we talk about the killings caused...
What kind of carnage can a Yonko cause if he thinks about holding a banquet all day long and doesn't think about finding any big secret treasures. Even his territory is the smallest and most unstable.
Many pirates died at the hands of Shanks.
"That's right."
Shanks looked at Weixi in his arms, smiled, lowered his head and kissed Weixi gently on the forehead. The sloppy beard seemed to hurt Weixi, and Weixi's little face wrinkled up, but
But he didn't cry.
"So, shouldn't you do something to help Maginot here to make it easier for Maginot?" Garp continued to play tricks, and Shanks nodded as if he was unprepared.
Beckman patted his cheek again, knowing that he, as a captain, could no longer count on his IQ.
"So, when you saw the guests coming, you didn't even say hello!"
Garp suddenly raised his voice and crossed his legs directly on the table. At this time, he looked more like a pirate than Shanks.
"Hahaha~" Shanks laughed twice, handed Weixi to Maginot who was standing aside, and carried the wine jar to Garp's side without saying a word.
"Come on, Lieutenant General Garp, I'll pour you some wine!"
After putting the wine glasses away, Shanks poured Garp a glass of wine very seriously. This glass of wine was actually Shanks' wish to thank Garp for his help to Maginot.
He knew that Dadan, a bandit, would not be able to help Maginot casually, and Garp was definitely responsible for this!
With the help of Garp and Dadan, Maginot can gain a foothold in this rapidly developing windmill town!
Therefore, Shanks was very happy to pour this glass of wine!
"Is it just wine? How about a few dishes?" Karp looked at the wine in front of him and stuffed his fingers directly into his nostrils. His eyes glanced at Beckman who was trying to pretend to be transparent.
When following the red hair trend, Beckman made a lot of limelight!
"Beckman?"
Shanks turned to look at his vice-captain, his eyes sincere...
Makes Beckman want to smash his wise head with the butt of a gun!
"Okay, but don't expect me to be very good at my craftsmanship. After all, I'm the one holding guns, not kitchen utensils~"
Beckman took a deep breath, put out his cigar, and walked into the kitchen helplessly. The moment he entered the kitchen, he glared at Shanks fiercely.
He only knows how to trick his own deputy captain, this unlucky captain!
You shouldn't have gotten on the boat in the first place!
In the tavern, Beckman, who was skilled in the kitchen, dismembered an unknown sea beast, then dismembered it and threw it into a cauldron to start cooking.
This pot was borrowed from other residents. There is no such big pot in the tavern.
The fundamental reason is that the two idiots outside who have already joined the wine have bigger appetites than pigs!
In the tavern, Garp was already hooking up with Shanks, frantically pouring wine into each other.
Shanks was originally the one pouring the wine, but now it was Maginot who was pouring the wine again. Fortunately, Weixi fell asleep and was taken to the backyard to rest by Dadan.
She seems to like taking care of children very much, and she may also miss Ace.
"Hiccup~Boy Shanks, you are not a very good person, but you can drink a lot~"
Garp, who normally wouldn't get drunk, actually seemed a little tipsy as Maginot kept pouring wine. He grabbed Shanks and started yelling at him for being unreasonable.
"Originally, hiccup, I was planning to train Luffy to be the strongest marine, but hiccup, you almost stole Luffy's heart while I was away! If Luffy hadn't been brought along by his master,
Return to the right path, I will try my best to capture you and bring you into Impel Down City!"
"Haha~ Mr. Garp, I really didn't know that Luffy was your grandson at that time. I just thought that Luffy and the captain were so similar, so I gave him the captain's straw hat. After all,
The new era needs people to lead it, right?”
Shanks raised the wine glass with one hand and took a big gulp.
"What a bullshit new era. Roger is like that, you are like that, Luffy is like that too... What's wrong with the navy? He always wants to be a pirate."
"Roger, that bastard, even if he is dying, he will still fight against me!"
Garp seemed to have thought of something unhappy, and his face became increasingly ugly.
"Maybe it's because Captain Roger knows you too well, old man."
Shanks sighed. On the ship, he and Bucky were the only trainee crew members who stood out. He was also the one who admired Roger the most.
Often when chatting about banquets, Shanks could always hear the names of several people from Captain Roger's mouth.
