"You're going to catch pirates? Karp. ”
"Then why didn't you say it earlier? Hurry up and go. You are the pride of our village. ”
When the village chief heard this, he immediately put down the kitchen knife and pushed Karp to hurry up and get on the warship. Karp really wanted to catch pirates, and he didn't know how to say it earlier, and if he said it earlier, he wouldn't have stopped him.
"Oh, the old man knows."
"Louis and Luffy will trouble you to help out, and the old man will leave first."
Karp said with his nostrils in his hands, and then stepped on the warship and left the windmill village dock.
"Did your grandfather leave today? Luffy, Ace? ”
In the woods far away from Dadan's house, the three heads probed their heads to watch the situation of Dadan's house, but they didn't dare to approach.
"I don't know, Saab."
"Generally speaking, grandpa usually leaves the next day, but today we didn't live at home and didn't know the specifics."
Ace said when he heard this, and couldn't help but scratch the mosquito-bitten bag on his arm, last night they knew first-hand what happens when there is no shelter at night in the hot forest.
"Then why don't we get closer to each other, as long as we don't get discovered by your grandfather."
Sabo thought about it and said, touching the bag on his face, he really wanted to take a hot shower now, but he was afraid that Grandpa Ace would find out about them, so he could only act secretly.
"Dadan, is grandpa gone?"
In front of Dadan's house, Luffy shouted towards the door of Dadan's house with a package on his back. Ace Sabo, who heard the voice, looked over and found that Luffy, who had been staying by his side, was gone, and couldn't help but scold:
"This idiot."
"Karp, he's just gone, you three little imps know he's back. How about being outside? Hurry up and get out of the shower. ”
"Wait a minute, I'll do all the work."
Standing at the door, Dadan looked at Luffy's dirty bag full of mosquito bites, lit a cigarette, and said while smoking, telling the three of them to hurry up and take a shower.
He didn't believe that Luffy would come back alone, and the other two must be hiding around.
"Great, Ace."
"Grandpa is gone, come here."
Luffy shouted at the place where the two were hiding, then dropped the package and rushed to the bathhouse.
"Great, Ace."
"Let's hurry up, I'm so itchy." Sabo couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and then ran to Dadan's house with the water pipe, and Ace hurriedly followed when he saw this.
After a while, Dadan smoked a cigarette and looked at the dirty clothes that the three of them had thrown on the ground, and said to the three who were wiping their hair:
"The three of you have washed the clothes of the three of you, and then you will mop the ground for me later. Besides, there is not much firewood at home, so you have to pick it up for me. ”
"I have provided you with a place to live, and you should have done the work for me honestly."
"Head, they ran away."
Magula interrupted his boss and pointed to the three Aces who had already run away.
"What? You stinky little devils come back to me. ”
"You haven't done it for me yet, go home."
Hearing this, Dadan immediately shouted at the backs of the three of them.
"We'll make it up to you later, Dadan."
"But now we're going to play."
Hearing this, Sabo stopped and bowed to Dadan, and then quickly followed Ace and Luffy.
"Boss, stop shouting."
"There's no way they're going to come back, so we'd better do it ourselves."
Dogura gathered up the three of them and said to Dardan, while Magula dragged the muddy footprints of the three of them as they came in with a mop.
"These stinky boys, I'm going to clean them up someday."
Dadan scolded when he heard this, then extinguished the cigarette and went back to the room.
"The head always looks like a knife mouth and tofu heart, in fact, it's impossible to clean up Luffy and them."
After Dadan left, the bandits whispered, not believing that Dadan would clean up Luffy at all. What kind of person the head is, they can't be clearer.
"Okay, you're idle, aren't you?"
"Why don't you hurry up and collect firewood, you don't have firewood, do you want to eat raw meat at night?"
Dogura listened to the complaints of his subordinates and said with a blank face. He sent them to collect firewood.
"Okay, we got it. Dogura. ”
The bandits replied, and then one by one they took the ropes and went out.
As night fell, the three of them who had eaten a bully meal on Center Street returned to Dadan's house and slept comfortably, and then ran to Center Street again the next day.
On the shore of the windmill, Louis is strapped up with a pile of wood to make a raft, trying to leave the windmill village and go to the nearby islands to see if there are any animals or food that he has not seen before.
"Luis, what are you doing here? You don't plan to go to sea, but you can't do it, you can't go to sea when you're too young. ”
Magino, who was passing by with a basket, spoke when he saw Louis making the raft.
"No, Sister Magino, you misunderstood, I didn't plan to go to sea, I just wanted to go to the nearby islands and come back."
Louis shook his head when he heard this, not wanting to be misunderstood by Magino. Otherwise, the village chief will come and give him a lecture later.
"Really? Louis. ”
"Then you can take the fishing boat in the village, and the people in the village will often go to the nearby islands."
Magino laughed and persuaded Louis to take a fishing boat to a nearby island. Louis was so young that she left the windmill village on her own raft, and she was not at ease.
"Really? Sister Magino. ”
"So when are they going out, can you tell me the time?"
Hearing this, Louis immediately stopped his movements and asked, since there is a fishing boat to sit on, then he is still busy with wool.
He hadn't seen a fishing boat at the dock a few times, and he thought there was no one fishing in Windmill Village.
"There's a fishing boat going to fish in the nearby waters tomorrow morning, if you get up. You can ask them to take you to a nearby island. ”
Magino laughed when she heard this, and was glad that Louis had listened to her persuasion.
"Really? Then I'll ask Sister Magino to help me talk to them. I'll be at the tavern on time tomorrow morning. ”
Louis was glad to hear this, and planned to set off tomorrow to explore other islands. He had tried all the edible plants and animals on the coast and on the land near the windmill village, and there was nothing new worth trying.
"Okay, no problem."
"Then you have to be careful when you go to other islands, and you have to come back to see me every once in a while, so that I and Mr. Village Chief can rest assured."
Magino nodded in agreement, but also made her own conditions.
She knew that Louis was stronger than ordinary adults and could deal with the giant tigers and bears in the forest, but Louis was still too young after all, and she would still be worried if he didn't come back after being outside for a long time.
