〖Since about a year ago... a pirate ship has been docked at the port.〗
〖The east wind is blowing.〗
〖The village is always peaceful.〗
…
"Hey, Luffy, what do you want?"
The red-haired pirates looked at the boy standing on the bow of the dragon-shaped ship.
"snort!"
The boy in the village, seven-year-old Monkey D. Luffy, stood on the dragon's head in an imposing manner, holding up a short knife and grinning, announcing, "I'm not joking with you! I'm already furious.
Yes! I will prove it to you!"
"Haha, okay, just prove it!"
Shanks on the deck was watching the fun and raised his fists to cheer, "But I'm not responsible for the consequences!"
"Luffy is being funny again..." The hooded pirate group member smiled easily, but soon he and his companions couldn't relax or laugh anymore, because Luffy was serious.
!
With a swish of a knife, he cut himself under his left eye, and blood splattered!
"It hurts me to death!!"
"You...you idiot! What are you doing?!"
"It hurts!!"
"It hurts you and you use a knife to cut yourself?!"
…
After a period of confusion, everyone treated Luffy's injuries.
Although this kid used self-mutilation to prove his determination and courage, it looked like he had no brain... But after this incident, the people of the red-haired pirates no longer called Luffy
Being a pirate is a crazy thing for a child.
From the original level of not hearing it, to the level of making fun of it after hearing it.
At this moment, in Miss Maginot's bar, everyone in the red-haired pirate group was teasing Luffy about Pistachio from the small fishing village.
"Cheers to Luffy's courage!"
"Haha, cheers, companions - hey, this is my meat! That is also my wine!"
In the bar, all the pirates were laughing and playing. Miss Maginot put a band-aid on the stab wound under Luffy's left eye, and said with a tearful smile: "Ah, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Shanks pointed his teeth and cursed: "Nonsense! Don't do this kind of thing again in the future!"
Luffy didn't seem to hear, he opened his arms and said happily: "I'm not afraid of getting hurt at all! Next time, take me out to sea to be a pirate!"
Unfortunately, Shanks still made fun of him, thinking that a kid like him who couldn't even learn to swim couldn't be a pirate.
Fatty Lucky Lu, sniper Jesus Bu and others toasted each other arm in arm, eating meat, laughing, and bragging about their wonderful pirate adventure life. Every day was happy, and every island was full of joy.
It's something I've never seen before, everyone is interesting, every kind of wine and every kind of meat is unforgettable... Luffy's eyes were shining as he listened, but Shanks held a spoon in his mouth and poured it over
He poured cold water into the basin and sighed: "Stop talking nonsense."
A red-haired member smiled and said: "I think this guy is pretty good. Captain, let's take him out to sea and give it a try."
Another agreed, "I feel the same way."
Lucky Lu, Jesus Bu and other old crew members were also smiling, and they didn't look like they were ready to refuse.
Luffy was about to get excited when Shanks said: "In that case, someone will have to get off the ship."
"Oh, then it's okay!" Upon hearing this, Lucky Lu, Jesus Bu and others simply put their arms around each other and turned around to drink.
Luffy was furious, "Aren't you going to speak for me?!"
"To put it simply, you are not qualified yet." Shanks sat in front of the bar with his legs crossed and smiled, "It will take at least ten years before we can talk about it."
Luffy said angrily: "What does it matter! Wouldn't it be cooler if you grew up on a pirate ship?!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Shanks rarely teased Luffy, but just smiled and said nothing.
Jesus Bu, who hadn't gone far, stretched out his head and said, "Lin Qi wasn't even a few years older than Luffy back then, but he was already struggling on the sea, right? Now he has become a great big shot..."
"Who is that?" Luffy was curious.
Shanks stuck out his tongue and made a face, "A childish brat like you can't compete with that kind of guy!"
"If you dare to look down on me, I'll beat you up!"
Luffy didn't care about Lin Qi and Shu Qi, and rushed towards Shanks with all his teeth and claws. Of course, he was quickly suppressed by Shanks with one hand.
Maginot served a portion of Luffy's favorite rice bowl behind the bar - which is also the name of the former Justice Meal - and a portion of Shanks' food and wine. She smiled softly and said, "You two have such a great relationship."
OK, you’re hungry, let’s have something to eat.”
Luffy started eating angrily, "I don't know if our relationship is good or not. I think he just likes to play tricks on me."
Shanks laughed so hard that Luffy glared and said, "Magino, look at it."
Maginot smiled even more happily.
Luffy was so angry that he became even hungrier. He quickly swept away all the rice. He looked around for other edible items...
At this moment, the door of the small bar was kicked open - bang!
The pirates in the bar felt strange and looked at the door one after another. They saw a group of figures blocking the other side, pouring into the small bar from the outside... The leader was a man wearing a long red coat, a black bun, and a waist.
A middle-aged man with a Western sword hanging between his legs.
"We are bandits." The middle-aged man said with a sinister smile, "We are not here to cause trouble today, we are here to buy wine. Give me ten barrels of wine."
Luffy, who was chewing a strange purple fruit, looked at the group.
Maginot was a little nervous, but the wine in the store had already been drunk by the red-haired pirates who could drink...
When the bandit leader Sig heard this, he was immediately very unhappy and turned to stare at Shanks who was calmly drinking and eating meat in front of the bar.
Shanks didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, it seems we drank all the wine. I'm sorry. - If you don't mind, I'll give you this bottle, I didn't even open the bottle cap." He
He handed the bottle of wine next to the plate to Sig. Sig was speechless. Where did this idiot come from? He smashed the bottle with a punch and splashed the wine all over Shanks.
Maginot covered her mouth in surprise; the bandits laughed maliciously; the red-haired pirates watched in silence, waiting for the captain's order, any order; Luffy was even more shocked, and hurriedly gulped down the remaining pieces.
I finished stuffing the purple fruit - what the heck, it's really unpalatable!!
"You kid, who do you think I am? Are you going to eat your leftover wine?"
Sig raised his fists that were soaked with wine and threatened fiercely, "I am a first-level wanted criminal with a bounty of 8 million Baileys. I have killed fifty-six people, and every one of them is like you."
Idiots, many of them are also bullshit pirates... Do you hear me clearly? Pirates running around on the sea dare to challenge us bandits... It really made me laugh to death."
Shanks, who was soaked with wine, acted as if he hadn't heard anything and squatted down to pick up the broken wine bottle, "I'm so sorry, Maginot, do you have a rag?"
Maginot quickly said: "It's okay, I'll wipe it myself later -"
Clang!
The bandit Sig suddenly drew his sword and chopped up the remaining empty wine bottles and dinner plates on the bar with one knife. The things fell to the floor in a mess.
"It seems that you like sweeping the floor very much. Now you can have a great time!" Sig sneered and mocked. After waiting for two seconds, there was no movement from the red-haired pirate or the pirates in the room. Not even one of them moved.
He was angry and gnashing his teeth. He suddenly felt lonely as a master. He drew his sword and looked around at a loss. He shook his head and turned around and sighed, "Humph, a bunch of cowards... take leave."
The bandits left. In the small bar, Maginot looked worriedly at Shanks who was lying on the floor, covered in wet drinks and stained by broken porcelain and leftovers, "Captain, you
Are you okay? Are you injured?"
Shanks waved his hand, "Ah, I'm very fine - Phew!"
Under the brim of the straw hat, he sighed, as if it was some kind of signal. The red-haired pirates in the bar couldn't bear it any longer, and they all burst into laughter -
"Wahahahahahaha!!! Captain, you are so mean!!!"
“It’s so miserable to be bullied!!!”
"Did you see that the captain didn't fight back? That guy was really disappointed just now! Hahahaha..."
Shanks also grabbed his straw hat and laughed loudly. What just happened was indeed very funny.
However, they were having so much fun here, but one young man couldn't help it anymore and said angrily: "Why are you still laughing! Don't you think you are too cowards? Why don't you fight back? Even if there are many of them, it seems that
You are very fierce, but you can still laugh when someone steps on you. What kind of men are you! I misjudged you!"
"..." Shanks looked at the indignant Luffy, put on his straw hat, and said with a smile, "I can't understand your mood, but you just had wine thrown at you, why are you so angry?"
He turned to ask his other friends, "Hey, is that so? In the same situation, if it were that boy Lynch..."
"Captain," Vice Captain Ben Beckman lit a cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke, reminding him, "Lynch has a woman, which is different from you."
"Hahaha! That's right!" Shanks laughed again, but Luffy couldn't bear it anymore and turned away, "I won't be with you guys who have no courage!"
"Hey, don't go, Luffy..." Shanks reached out and grabbed Luffy's arm.
But what happened in the next second made everyone in the bar almost faint. Luffy's arm being pulled by Shanks stretched directly, like a stretched rubber band...
"what happened?!"
Luffy almost went crazy with fear on the spot.
…
"Hehe, boss, give me a fish."
It was another sunny day, and Luffy went to the village to buy vegetables with a smile.
As soon as Luffy arrived at the village market, the vegetable buyers and sellers all looked at him and smiled. Some people shouted: "Luffy, are you here to buy vegetables again?" Luffy nodded with a smile, and some people shouted jokingly.
He said: "I heard that you can't swim in this life?" Luffy said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Although I am destined to be a landlubber, I want to be a pirate who will not fall into the sea!" Although Shanks said that day
, if he really doesn’t want to be an esper, he can find someone to help him take away this devil fruit ability. But these days, Luffy has fallen in love with his rubber fruit ability - because it’s so fun! You can use chopsticks to pick it up
Playing with your nose open!
"I ate the rubber fruit, so now I am a rubber man." Luffy performed for the villagers, stretching his elastic body, "Is it interesting? Hehehe..."
Everyone laughed. Although Luffy was depressed for a while when he ate some fruit that day, Luffy was still the same pistachio.
However, when he arrived at Maginot's small bar, Luffy's face drooped.
Maginot wiped the tableware, "Captain, they have been at sea for a long time. Are you starting to feel lonely? Luffy."
Luffy said listlessly: "No, I haven't forgiven them for what happened to the bandits before. I really misjudged them. I thought they were very powerful pirates..."
Maginot disagreed and said with a smile: "I think it's even more awesome to be able to laugh when you encounter something like that."
Luffy even disagreed, but at this moment someone pushed the door open and came in, "Excuse me."
It’s a somewhat familiar voice!
——The bandit leader Sig!
Luffy and Maginot looked at the door, and sure enough they saw the bandits with the same bad attitude...
…
"Village Chief, it's bad! Luffy was captured by bandits!"
Maginot hurried to find the old village chief. It turned out that in the bar just now, Sig and his gang of bandits once again made rude remarks to Shanks and the others. Luffy couldn't bear it anymore and rushed up to Sig and the others to apologize.
The result is of course one can imagine...
"You brat, what a strange creature."
On the loess street of the small fishing boat, the bandit boss Sig grabbed Luffy's rubber face and threw it here and there. He said with a smile, "Sold a new breed like this to the circus, it should be worth a lot of money, right?"
Sig stepped on Luffy's feet, and Luffy struggled angrily, slapping the ground and shouting: "Get your feet off! You bastard bandit! Apologize to me!"
Sig stepped on the rubber devil and joked: "Do you want me to take my foot away, or do you want me to apologize? You are making me very embarrassed like this."
"Hahaha!" the bandits laughed.
"Let the kid go!"
Over there, the old village chief who was called by Maginot stood in the middle of the road, kneeling down and begging, "Please... I don't know what Luffy did, and I don't want to argue with you, but please let him go, and I will
Give you money."
Sig smiled and said: "The old man is still sensible, but this time it has nothing to do with money. This kid has already pissed me off..."
The old village chief and Maginot were anxious when suddenly a voice sounded from behind them: "I couldn't see a single figure when I returned to the port. I thought something had happened... It turned out to be those bandits from before."
Maginot exclaimed in surprise: "Captain!"
The visitor was of course Shanks. He smiled at Luffy who was crushed under the bandit's feet and said, "Luffy, aren't your fists as powerful as guns?"
"Stop talking sarcastically!" Luffy, who was stepped on, was so angry that his face became crooked, although his face was indeed crooked by Sig's step.
Shanks smiled, wearing a straw hat and a black coat that swayed in the wind, holding his sword in one hand, and walked towards the bandit and Luffy handsomely.
"It turns out it's you pirates..." Sig looked at the man walking over unhappily, "If you dare to get close again, you're not throwing a drink. Do you understand? I can shoot. Get out of here.
,coward."
Shanks didn't seem to hear, and continued walking handsomely. Someone among the bandits pointed a gun at him, "Hey, are you deaf?"
Shanks turned his head and pointed at the gun pointed at him, "You pointed the gun at me?"
"Isn't it obvious?" the bandit asked angrily, "Are you not only deaf, but also blind?"
Shanks smiled lightly, "Then why haven't you fired yet? This is not a toy used to threaten people..."
boom!
A gunshot echoed in the sky above Windmill Village, startling some wild birds outside the village.
Hiss, a rare and colorful snake raised its head.
"Xiao Wu," a pair of high heels walked next to the colorful snake, "it seems like there is something interesting to watch."
…
The fat man Lucky Lu, who was gnawing on the chicken leg meat, shot the bandit who pointed the gun at his captain.
Everyone was shocked!
The villagers were surprised that these pirates, who had always been quite loyal and had a very decent style, actually killed people when they said they would shoot to kill...
The bandits did not expect that these pirates, who were so timid before, actually dared to shoot and kill people!
"Are you mistaken? The person standing in front of you..."
Shanks shook his black coat, and behind him were Ben Beckman, Lucky Lu, Jesus Bu and other friends, "But it's a pirate!"
"It's one thing to pour wine on me, but it's another thing to bet on your life! It's one thing to bet on my own life, but it's one thing to bet on my friend's life..." The red-haired man under the straw hat looked seriously, "That's even more serious.
Another thing! I will never let someone hurt my friends."
Luffy, who was crushed by Sig, was stunned for a moment.
Sig laughed wildly, how dare a mere pirate speak so brazenly?
Ten seconds later, Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the red-haired pirates, beat the bandits all over the street like they were chopping melons and vegetables... Sig's expression changed little by little throughout the whole process, and finally he became extremely frightened.
That's right, one of the pirates just killed a dozen of his men?! It's just... it's just... bastard!!
Peng! Sig took out a smoke bomb and threw it on the ground. Suddenly the whole street was filled with thick smoke and nothing could be seen. When the smoke dissipated, Maginot was shocked: "Luffy!"
Not only was the bandit Sig missing, Luffy was also missing.
"Oops!" Shanks held his head and gasped, "I'm just here to show off to Luffy... I'm too careless!"
Fatty Lucky Lu gnawed half of the chicken leg in his hand and said angrily: "Who asked you to drink so much on the boat! Are you no longer good at seeing, hearing, and coloring?! Why are you so nervous! Let's search together and we will find them soon.
of!"
The deputy captain said helplessly: "You are really..."
Jesus pointed to the distance, "He took Lu Fei over there."
Shanks roared: "Then why don't you stop them!"
Jesus Buye yelled: "Have you ever seen a sniper charging at the front? Stupid captain!"
"Captain Stupid is going to find Luffy first!"
Shanks angrily strode away in the direction Jesus Bu pointed.
The whole street was covered with bandits, and there were several village chiefs, Maginot and others, as well as the red-haired pirates standing there, but it seemed extremely quiet for a while...
The villagers were stunned and have not yet come to their senses.
The people of the red-haired pirates are...
Ben Beckman lit a cigarette and said calmly: "No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today if they meet Lynch or the others in the future."
Lucky Lu, Jesus Bu and others all nodded with serious faces. Who would have the nerve to tell anyone about such a shameful thing?
All the pirates held their foreheads and covered their faces!
…
On the sea not far from Windmill Village, on a small boat, Luffy was punching Sig angrily.
Sig sneered: "You are just a hostage, you are useless now. Goodbye, kid..."
With that said, he kicked Luffy off the boat.
Luffy was shocked, he couldn't swim! Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling...
Luffy, an ability user, quickly lost strength in the sea water, but at this time he saw a huge sea monster emerging from the sea behind Sig on the boat that kicked him into the sea, with blood-red eyes and a mouth full of sharp dagger-like lips.
With its fangs, Sig's desperate roar crushed the man and the boat in one bite, without even a drop of blood spilling into his mouth... The scarlet eyes of the huge sea beast with a mouth full of boat fragments suddenly looked at Luffy not far away.
Flying is so scary!
The giant sea beast opened its bloody mouth and bit Luffy.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
Luffy was scared to death, but he didn't have any strength in his body. He even sank into the water a little bit. He also closed his eyes in despair like Sig just now.
Boom...
There seems to be a huge explosion in my ears. Why does the sea beast explode when it bites people?
Hey, I seem to be being held by someone...
Luffy opened his eyes and found that he was being held by Shanks!
Shanks didn't know when he swam here, and at this time, this sea area was already full of blood...
"Shanks, you came to save me!"
Luffy was in shock and clutched Shanks' shirt, but Shanks said: "I didn't save you..."
"Eh?" Luffy raised his head and looked at the body of the huge sea monster whose blood was spread across a large area of the sea.
The king of the offshore sea was too dead to die. A large bloody hole exploded in the huge fish belly. Among the fragments of muscles and bones, a slender branch was inserted diagonally like a slender branch picked up everywhere on the roadside.
…
"..."
Shanks held Luffy in his arms and looked towards the coast of Windmill Village.
Crash, blood waves, sea water, waves lapping at the coast, a pair of high heels standing on the land, a tall and beautiful woman, she slowly put down the big bow made of a large colorful snake taut in her hand...
"Really, what are you going to do to my dear son?"
