Chapter Forty-Eight: Red-Haired Shanks

"Ah~ah~ Is Luffy looking for a master?"

Just when Di Lu was unable to complain, a lazy voice came through the gate, and a red-haired man wearing a straw hat pushed open the wooden door and walked in, followed by a group of people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Shanks! You're back. Luffy's attention instantly shifted and he ran in front of Shanks, but he was puzzled, "But Magino said that he would have to go to sea for two days before he could come back." ”

"Haha, this voyage went well, so I came back ahead of schedule."

Shanks touched Luffy's head as he rushed up, and rubbed Luffy's hair into a mess.

"Have you found a new friend?"

Shanks glanced at Dilu and Shandy sitting at the bar, both of them were about eleven or twelve years old, but suddenly saw that his group of people was very calm, they were pirates, and there were many hideous faces in them, which was not like the reaction of an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

"They are ......"

Luffy was a little hesitant, after all, Di Lu and Shanty were navy, and Shanks were pirates, and now Luffy has not eaten rubber fruit, even if he is young now, his head is still a little turned, not as tendoned as he was later.

"We are the Navy."

Di Lu drank the juice in the cup in one gulp and jumped off the barstool, anyway, he knew that the redhead was a person, and in Magino's bar, in front of Luffy's eyes, the redhead would not do anything disqualified, so he decisively confessed his identity.

"My name is Di Lu, Lieutenant Commander of the Navy, I didn't expect to meet the famous 'red-haired' pirates here."

Although Di Lu said surprise, his expression was very flat, and he didn't find a trace of surprise.

"Well, Navy, it's obviously a little ghost." Shanks looked at Di Lu in front of him, not much taller than Luffy, but he looked mature, Shanks touched his hat, "I didn't expect us to be so famous, even the children's fighting spirit is my name." ”

"There's crumbs stuck to the corners of your mouth."

Just as the two looked at each other, Shanks suddenly pointed to the corner of Dilu's mouth, as if he had discovered a new world.

"What? Scrap? ”

Di Lu hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth back and forth with the back of his hand, pretending to be the most taboo that there were unclean things on his face, but after wiping it for a long time, he didn't find any crumbs or anything like that.

"Hahaha, is it just a little ghost."

Seeing Dilu being deceived, Shanks laughed, and the pirates behind also laughed, although it was a mockery, but it was with kindness, not the kind of wanton and arrogant ridicule.

Di Lu rolled his eyes, he didn't expect Shanks, who would become the Four Emperors in the future, to make such a joke, how could he not be fooled, silently turned around, sat on the high stool, but saw that Shandy was also covering her mouth and snickering, and was speechless.

"Wow, Dilu was deceived by Shanks too."

Luffy is very happy now, in his heart, Shanks is the representative of the pirates, and Karp is the representative of the navy, and Karp is quite disgusted with the pirates in front of Dilu, and Dilu is a student of Karp, Luffy is afraid that the two sides will fight when they meet.

Di Lu, who was already in a bad mood, slapped him on the ground even more hatefully when he heard Luffy's words.

"Hey, don't be angry, I'll treat you to juice."

Shanks leaned over to the bar and brought a glass of juice out of nowhere and put it in front of Dilu's eyes.

"Hmm." Drinking something sweet when you are angry can help improve your mood, Di Lu was about to pick up the juice, but suddenly withdrew his hand, and said to Shanks with a black face: "You still lie to Luffy with this trick." ”

Your uncle, with red hair, is too black, fortunately, Lao Tzu has read the original book, otherwise he wouldn't repeat Luffy's mistakes?

"Alright, Luffy, let's have some juice."

Shanks handed the juice to Luffy again.

"Okay." Hearing that there was juice to drink, Luffy took it with a smile and drank it, but suddenly the words that Di Lu had just said sounded again, "Why are you lying to me?" ”

Di Lu looked at Di Lu with pity with an IQ crushing gaze, and explained: "Because only children like to drink juice, don't you want to be a pirate?" Pirates are all drinkers. ”

"But you just drank the juice too!" Luffy's eyes widened, and he pointed to the cup next to the plate in front of Dilu, which still had a layer of juice that had just slipped off the wall of the cup.

"Uh." Di Lu glanced at the juice glass with some embarrassment, and then shrugged his shoulders cheekily, "I'm only twelve years old, but the Navy doesn't stipulate that you can't be a Navy at the age of twelve." ”

"Ah, Shanks, you're fooling me!"

When Luffy saw Dilu's appearance, he could only vent his anger on Shanks.

"Haha, I'll just say that you are still a little ghost, children can't go to sea." Every day Luffy will pester Shanks to take him to sea, but how could Shanks take a child to the sea, just take this opportunity to get a preventive shot today, so as not to be entangled in this matter today.

"Humph!"

Luffy grunted angrily and waited for Shanks to glance at him, then drank the rest of the juice.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Captain, those two imps are not simple."

At this time, Shanks and Beckman were sitting at a table against the wall, and Luffy pulled Dilu and Shandy out, not in the bar.

"It's a lieutenant colonel at such a young age, well, it's not a simple little ghost."

Shanks picked up a peanut from a small saucer and threw it in his mouth, then took a large sip of ale wine, looking disapproving.

"Hehe, I know about that little ghost named Dilu just now."

The round Raki pulled over a stool and sat down, the stool pressed by the heavy body squeaked, and the big flesh and bone in his hand that never left his hand, he took a bite and continued:

"I heard a pirate say that Rodelste's cheetah was not destroyed by the Nine Snakes, and that pirate was in Rodelste at the time, and there was a young navy who fought with Klockdahl at that time, and he also escaped with his whole body."

"If that little imp is really called Diru, it's him."

"That 'crocodile' is not easy to deal with, that navy is really a great character, I don't know if it's good or bad." Beckman took a puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, the rustling fruit of Klockdahl was indeed a slightly tricky fruit.

"Haha, that little ghost, I can tell from his eyes that he is not a radical person, completely different from those navy. The future is really worth looking forward to. "From his temptation just now, Di Lu is not the kind of extreme navy, and he will not become that kind of navy, just like Di Lu said, pirates are not necessarily bad people, and the navy is not necessarily good people, but Di Lu will definitely not be classified on the 'bad' side.

Shanks pressed the straw hat on his head, and although the brim of the hat covered his eyes, it was clear from the corners of his grin that he was in a good mood.

"The future is really worth looking forward to."
