"The rice is just hot out of the pot, I'm going to start it!" Luffy looked at the food brought by Xiaoyu and swallowed.
"Xiaoyu, do you want to eat it or not?" Luffy said vaguely.
"No need, big brother!"
"I want to become an outstanding female ninja. A female ninja must be as light as a swallow!" Xiaoyu touched her hungry belly with a smile on her face.
"One more bowl!" Luffy finished the meal in a few seconds.
"It's so fast! But... I only cooked so much! And there are no more pickles!"
Xiaoyu had a shocked expression on her little face, and she said hesitantly, in fact, there was not much food at home.
"That's right! I was just joking just now, but I'm actually full!"
Luffy comforted Xiaoyu while licking the bowl pitifully.
"Brother, you really can't lie at all. I'll go out for a while!" Xiaoyu stood up with a smile and ran out of the room.
Xiaoyu ran out of the house. Luffy lay on the floor and touched his belly, which was not full. "This little food is really not enough! But that was specially cooked for me."
"Xiaoyu is such a good person!"
"Asshole, who are you!" While Luffy was resting comfortably, an old samurai came to Luffy with a long sword.
When the old samurai saw the bowls on the table, he became furious and said, "Asshole... you ate my rice!"
"Yeah! Xiaoyu gave it to me!" Facing the sudden appearance of the old samurai, Luffy was a little confused.
"Why does Xiaoyu want to cook for you? Do you know that the child hasn't eaten for several days!"
"She works diligently every day to make bamboo hats, but even if she sells them all, she may not be able to support herself."
"This child, she usually lives a life of eating tares, but I want to at least give her a meal of rice on her birthday every year..."
"Today is to celebrate Xiaoyu's birthday, so I asked her to buy rice, but the rice was eaten by you, a bastard!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
The old warrior raised his long sword, and the old man's eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that the old man had murderous intentions.
"Stop it! Master!"
"Please forgive me for cooking the rice without permission, but Brother Luffy, he is my savior!"
"It is the shame of a warrior to not repay a favor, please don't let me be humiliated!"
"I will make a lot more hats and sell them. Please don't blame Brother Luffy!" Xiaoyu knelt down in front of the old samurai, her voice choked with sobs, and tears kept rolling in the corners of her eyes.
"Why!"
Looking at the stubborn Xiaoyu, the old samurai put down his sword and sighed.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned ugly, and then she fainted.
"This is...this silly boy!"
"This child must have drank the water from the river to resist hunger!"
"The rivers in this country are polluted by the sewage discharged from Kaido's factory!"
"This sewage is extremely poisonous to little girls!" The old warrior picked up Xiaoyu, his eyes full of anger and sympathy.
"Originally, this child could go to a more suitable place to live, but she is waiting for someone!"
"Forget it, let's not mention that pirate! That pirate hasn't been to Wano for so long, and he must have encountered something unexpected!" The old samurai sighed.
"Master! You are not allowed to say that to Brother Ace. Brother Ace will definitely come to Wano Country. He promised Xiaoyu!" Xiaoyu said with an ugly face and an excited tone.
"Ace! Xiaoyu, are you waiting for Ace?" Luffy said in surprise.
"Brother Luffy, do you know Brother Ace?" Xiaoyu looked ugly, but there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.
"Of course, Ace is my brother... Xiaoyu, please get well soon, I can take you to find Ace!" Luffy said with a smile.
"Well! Thank you, Brother Luffy!" A forced smile appeared on Xiaoyu's ugly face.
...
In a wilderness of Wano Country, in order to treat Xiaoyu, Luffy was heading to a town in Wano Country with Xiaoyu on his back.
"This is......"
Seeing several ferocious beasts fighting fiercely in the wilderness in the distance, Luffy's face lit up and he thought he finally had meat to eat.
"That big guy looks like a crocodile. It's really wild and must be delicious!" Luffy pointed to several beasts.
"Brother can't do it!"
"The warriors who are strong enough to catch such beasts to eat are either captured or have become thieves..."
"And these animals have drank polluted river water. Eating them is also harmful to the human body!" Xiaoyu, who was on Luffy's back, spoke to stop Luffy.
"Damn it, I will never spare that factory pirate!" Luffy said with an angry look on his face.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, wake up!"
Suddenly Xiaoyu fainted, and Luffy spoke nervously.
"I'll take you to the doctor right away!" Luffy sat on the dog and rushed towards the small town of Wano Country at high speed.
...
laugh!
"what happened!"
The dog suddenly stopped. Luffy became unsteady and almost flew out of the dog with Tama.
"Straw Hat Boy, it is indeed you. The boat on the beach in Kuri must be yours!" Hawkins and several pirates from the Beast Pirates stood in front of Luffy.
"It's you..." Luffy looked at Hawkins in surprise.
"I was planning to go to the beach in Jiuli! But it would be great to see you here."
"The whereabouts of two of my men and a baboon were unknown before. There is a 98% probability that it was your work!"
"But it doesn't matter. In Wano Country, you can either follow the strong... or run away. Straw Hat Boy, I can give you a chance to join Lord Kaido!" Hawkins said in a deep voice.
"Hmph! I have no interest in being Kaido's subordinate. Don't block my way. I want to take Xiaoyu to get medical treatment."
"If you don't get out of the way, I will beat you away!" Luffy raised his fist and looked at Hawkins angrily.
"It seems that Straw Hat Boy, there is no need for us to talk any further!"
"I'll arrest you and work as a coolie in the mining factory. I think Lord Kaido will be very happy if he finds out!" Hawkins pulled out the straw weapon from his waist.
"Who wants to take my brother away and make him a coolie?"
Just when Hawkins was about to take action, a figure burning with blazing fire suddenly fell to the ground in the sky.
The ground suddenly collapsed, and the scorching flames were very dazzling. The flames burned the air, and waves of heat hit all around.
"Fire Fist Ace, it's you! I didn't expect you to come to Wano Country!"
"It seems that you were the one who defeated the group of men I sent to find the intruders on the Jiuli beach before!" Hawkins looked at Ace with a gloomy expression, and his tone was very serious.
Fire Fist Ace's fighting prowess is outstanding, and his natural Devil Fruit ability reminds him of Navy Admiral Kizaru.
The scene of being ravaged by Admiral Kizaru in the Chambord Islands is still vivid in my mind, but I don't know how far Ace's combat power is compared to that of the Admiral.
"Ace, it's really you!"
When Luffy saw Ace appear, the anger on his face had long since disappeared, and he burst into tears with excitement, his voice choked with sobs.
