"Blackie, why are you here?" Shanks looked confused, why did this guy always disappear and reappear suddenly, and always when he was in distress. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Squeak !!" The little monkey jumped out and looked around Shanks with a gloating look, as if to say: You are so good, how did you get hung up, and you were almost cooked.

It looked at Shanks sympathetically, took a piece of meat from its bulging little backpack, and handed it to Shanks in a charity.

"You have a conscience!" Shanks didn't see it, his tied hands suddenly broke free, the rope was broken, and he took the meat and sat cross-legged to eat!

The people around them looked at them stunned, not knowing what was going on with this person and monkey.

"That.... Excuse me. Do you know this cute monkey? It's called "Little Black?" asked Magino in a whisper.

"That's right, it's my companion, it's called Xiao Hei, and although it's very powerful, it's not cute at all!" Shanks said as he ate, wondering why women say it's cute, cute, and bad!

"Blackie, give me some meat.... By the way, is there any wine? Divide me in half!" Shanks said casually, feeling that these were all normal.

"Squeak!!" the little monkey cried out dissatisfiedly, and said in his heart: You say so about me, it's good to give you meat to eat, and I want half of the wine, but I don't have a door!

The little monkey took out some more meat and squeaked a few times, expressing that he had no wine and would not give Shanks wine.

"Well, forget it if you don't. When I'm done, I'll take you to buy some wine. Shanks was completely convinced of what his expression meant.

"It's so cute that it can understand and communicate with people!

Magino is the daughter of a tavern owner and helps out in the store on weekdays. At noon today, the little monkey sneaked into their shop and looked around for something to eat, only to be discovered by her.

The little monkey has a big trick when he meets a beauty: pretend to be stupid and cute!

Magino was attracted by the pitiful and cute movements and expressions of the little monkey, and the little monkey managed to get a good meal plus a backpack of food and wine.

In the afternoon, Dardan went to the store to buy food, and she was good friends with Magino, so he invited her to play, so the little monkey followed.

"It's not cute at all! I don't like it!" Dadan said directly, feeling that the little monkey didn't like it, and she was rejected when she wanted to hold it, which made her very unhappy.

"I don't want you to like it! I like beautiful women!" the little monkey was disdainful, and ran to Magino's side, holding her feet, pretending to be stupid and cute.

"Damn monkey!"

This is the voice of Shanks and Dadan!

"Go and get his stuff!" Dadan suddenly commanded the leading bandit.

"Yes, boss, I'll go. Since the boss doesn't pursue this time, he wants to continue to entangle.

After getting his things, Shanks had no intention of staying here any longer, so he looked at the little monkey and shouted, "Xiao Hei, we should go, while it is not dark, hurry down the mountain to find a place to stay!"

"Squeak !!" The little monkey was reluctant to go, and finally met a beautiful woman who opened a tavern, how could he leave easily.

Looking at the little monkey's reluctant expression, Magino said, "Why don't you find our store and stay, there are empty rooms there?"

"Squeak !!" the little monkey raised his hands in high air, fully agreeing.

"That.... I'm sorry for you. Shanks was overjoyed, this time it was a good deed done by the little monkey, otherwise he would have to sleep on the streets, and he would be penniless.

"It's okay. Magino smiled, and then looked at Dardan, "Dardan, I'm sorry, I'll come to you another day, don't be angry!"

"It's okay.... But do you really reassure him? he's a pirate!" Dardan looked at Shanks unkindly.

"Hey, you look down on me too much. Don't confuse me with other pirates, how could I possibly hurt an innocent person and be my benefactor!" Shanks said unpleasantly.

"Squeak !!" the little monkey rarely supported Shanks, squeaked, and kept gesturing with both hands to express his strong dissatisfaction with Dadan.

"Alright, Dadan, don't worry. I believe in him, not to mention how cute Xiao Hei is, he will definitely not harm me. Magino smiled, more confident than Shanks.

"Squeak!" the little monkey patted his chest and made a "believe me" look.

"No, I'm still not at ease!" said Dadan, looking at the leading bandits, and ordered, "You are responsible for escorting them down the mountain to the town." ”

"Yes, don't worry, boss. The leading bandit nodded.

....

"What do you say, no pirates dare to make trouble in this town?"

From Magino's mouth, he learned that the island that Shanks came to was actually the largest island in the East China Sea, the seat of the Kingdom of Goa, and the place where he was located was just like what he saw on the wooden sign before, called: Windmill Village!

"Yes, because this is the hometown of Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and the hero Karp, and not everyone dares to come here to cause trouble. ”

As she spoke, Magino approached Shanks and whispered to him, "I'll tell you, Cap came to our shop today. So when you get to the town and the village, you must not say that you are a pirate, otherwise you will be in trouble. ”

"Well, I know the Navy hero Karp, it's amazing!" Shanks said seriously. Isn't it! I was beaten up by Karp today, and I have palpitations!

"Squeak!" the little monkey looked at Shanks thoughtfully, with sympathetic eyes, remembering the picture of him being violently beaten.... It's terrible!

The leading bandit also trembled when he heard Karp's name, although the bandit is not as powerful as the pirate, but he is also the enemy of the navy, and he is in the hometown of the legendary figure of the navy to be a bandit, can he not be afraid?

The sun is setting, and it is evening.

Magino took Shanks and the others to take a shortcut and went straight to the windmill village.

Magino introduced with a smile: "This is the windmill village, although the village is not big, but the villagers help each other, get along well, and are all kind people!"

Shanks nodded, looking at the scattered pedestrians on the street, each face full of happiness, he had experienced so much of this kind of atmosphere, but he had rarely encountered it.

"Good evening, Maggie!"

"Is this your friend?"

"Magino, didn't you leave with Dardan, why did you come back?"

"Magino, I've really grown up and become more and more beautiful!"

Magino was greeted by many villagers, and it seemed that she was very popular in the village.

"Dadan, isn't that the female bandit boss, why are the villagers here not afraid of bandits?" Shanks suddenly noticed that many people talked about Dadan, their expressions were very flat, and they didn't seem to see Dadan as a bandit.

"You know what? We're not bandits who oppress people, we have our own principles. The leading bandit said with a look of pride on his face.

"I'll tell you more about it another day, it's not early, so let's go to my store first." Magino thought about it, and it was not easy to talk about it outside, and it was not something that could be finished in a sentence or two.

"Miss Magino, since you have arrived, I will go back and tell the boss that he is safe. The leading bandit took his leave.

"Thank you for escorting you all the way, please go back and report Dadan's safety. Magino smiled.

The leading bandit nodded and turned away.

"Let's go, when we get to the store, I'll treat you to something delicious!" Magino said amicably as she looked at Shanks and the little monkey.

"Squeak!" the little monkey was excited when he heard that there was something delicious.

"Thank you very much!" Shanks behaved gentlemanly. But he was stared at with contempt by the little monkey.

....

"Here, this is my tavern, it's not bad!" Magino proudly introduced.

The tavern is actually pretty basic, but Shanks could tell that Magino loved it and that it was her home.

"Very good, I asked about the wine!" Shanks said with a deep breath closed his eyes and pursed his lips.

"Squeak!" the little monkey was even more anxious, and in a blink of an eye ran to the tavern.

"Let's go, I'll take you in. With that, Magino and Shanks walked side by side into the tavern.

It was close to closing time, and the tavern was empty and almost empty, except for a bad old man.

"Grandpa Nagli, why are you here today?" Magino shouted happily as she ran up to the bad old man.

The bad old man looked back, his eyes fell on Shanks, and he was suddenly startled, "Sure enough, it's you!"
