Windmill Village, the tavern of Magino's house.

As soon as Bucky arrived, all the drinkers looked at him and laughed, and some exclaimed:

"Bucky, you've got a new scar on your face!"

Bucky didn't answer, but walked over to the counter and sat down with an embarrassed expression, and cleaned up his disgraced demeanor.

The proprietress Magino naturally gave the old customer a large glass of beer, and said with a smile:

"Was it beaten up by Lieutenant General Karp again?"

Buckima blushed, and the green tendons on his forehead bloomed:

"We're practicing... Cultivation is not considered beating! ”

"Can the navy's affairs be considered beaten?"

Still, the fresh bruises and bruises on his face caused everyone to laugh; The inside and outside of the store are filled with a cheerful air.

During this time, Bucky, who was recruited to become a navy, stayed by Karp's side.

Because of Lieutenant General Karp's long vacation, Bucky, a key propagandist of the world government in recent days, a well-known "Righteous Warrior" on the Great Passage, and a Colonel of the Headquarters personally awarded the rank of Colonel by Marshal Sengoku, has not actually stepped into the Great Passage at all.

For this time, Bucky has been accompanying Karp to live a quiet country life in Windmill Village.

Of course, life in the countryside wasn't easy for Bucky at all.

While training his grandson Luffy, Karp also incorporated Bucky, a little henchman whose strength is completely out of proportion to his reputation, into his personal training class.

As a result, Bucky and Luffy were beaten by Karp every day.

"Ugh..."

Bucky took a big sip of beer from his glass and said with emotion:

"When will Old Man Karp's vacation end?"

"Hahaha!"

A hearty laugh came from behind him, but in Bucky's ears it was as terrifying as a demon:

"Red-nosed imp, don't think about being lazy!"

"Even if you go back to the headquarters, you will have to train with me."

If the average person had called him Red Nose with his mouth closed, Bucky would have gone berserk.

But the old man called him Rednose, and Bucky could only wince and turn his head in greeting:

"Lieutenant General Karp!"

Karp was standing at the door of the tavern with a smile on his face, his tall, burly figure making the door of the tavern look very narrow in comparison.

And Karp was carrying a guy with a big bag, a blue nose and a swollen face, who looked even more miserable than Bucky, and who was almost beaten to the point of not being human-

That's the difficult brother that Bucky has known these days, Luffy.

Karp casually threw his grandson Luffy on a small table, allowing Luffy's red and swollen face to come into close contact with the cold and hard tabletop, and interpreted what it means to be a "pro-grandfather" with practical actions.

Karp took the beer from Magino and drank it down, and finally patted Luffy on the back and said:

"Bastard boy, do you still want to be One Piece?!"

Luffy, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, struggled to prop up his fat body from the table, and said word by word:

"I, want, be, One Piece!!"

Bang!

Karp slammed another love fist on Luffy's head, slapping Luffy's face back on the table.

And the guests in the tavern have long been accustomed to such domestic violence, and just chuckle and watch the strange daily life of Karp and Luffy.

"What's so good about being One Piece?"

Karp waved his big fist, pointed at Bucky on the side, and said:

"That red-nosed imp, he used to be a member of the crew of One Piece!"

"That redhead who tricked you into becoming a pirate is also Bucky's original companion!"

"Look, isn't he following me to be a navy now?"

"Haha..."

Bucky gave an awkward smile.

These days, Bucky has been a positive teaching material for Karp's grandson countless times.

But Luffy never let go, and this time it was the same:

"I don't care! I'm just going to be the King of the Pirates! ”

"This is my promise to Shanks!"

"Ugh..."

Karp sighed helplessly, he had already foreseen what path his tenacious grandson would take in the future.

It's clear that he is a naval hero, but why are all sons, grandsons, and righteous grandsons...

And Luffy's funny performance caused the tavern guests to laugh again.

In this peaceful little village, Magino's tavern is the liveliest place of entertainment;

While Magino doesn't sell alcohol to children, she doesn't turn away children who play here.

So among these guests, there are a few children who are attracted by the dream of One Piece and cheer for their big Luffy brother with bright eyes:

"Big brother Luffy is so handsome!"

"You're going to be the King of the Pirates!"

Some children still imitated Luffy's example and said impassionedly, "I want to be the king of the pirates in the future!" ”

Karp listened even more helplessly:

The children of the homeland of the naval heroes were led astray by their own grandchildren.

And to Karp's relief:

Unlike the previous times when I went back to my hometown for vacation, this time the dreams of the children in Windmill Village are no longer as unanimous as before.

As soon as a teenager shouted the slogan of becoming the king of the pirates, another teenager immediately stood up and said disdainfully:

"What's so good about being a pirate?"

"Learning from Bucky's predecessors to be a navy is much more powerful than being a pirate!"

"That big fish that the pirate Shanks couldn't beat was all dealt with by Bucky's seniors!"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing his name, Bucky immediately made a look of a man of the world:

"Shanks's strength is indeed slightly inferior to me."

"It's just killing a fish, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!"

Among the cult figures of today's Windmill Village boys, Bucky is also a popular choice.

It's not because these kids read the World Government propaganda, but because Bucky inadvertently tackled the "King of the Near Sea" with ease.

When Bucky encountered the "King of the Near Sea", he didn't know about his impressive achievements.

After easily abusing and killing the other party, Bucky realized that this ordinary sea fish turned out to be...

He defeated his best friend Shanks and bit off one of the redhead's arms.

Bucky wondered what had happened.

In this way, Bucky relied on his legendary experience as a former crew member of One Piece and the current captain of the Navy Headquarters and his domineering record of defeating the "King of the Near Sea" to establish a majestic image in the hearts of the children of Windmill Village that is not inferior to Shanks and Luffy.

The children who were originally firmly following Luffy's ass and shouting that they wanted to be One Piece suddenly split into a "naval party" of no small size.

However, today's windmill village is not only home to two forces: the Pirate Party and the Navy Party.

A third force also joined the debate among the children in the tavern:

"Whether it's a navy or a pirate, it's better to be a knight of justice!"

Several children brandished models of large swords made of wood, and said with longing:

"Like the knight Galen, he is the most handsome!"

"Nonsense!"

A navy kid retorted excitedly: "The navy has a cloak of justice, and it must be more handsome than being a knight!" ”

"What is a cape?"

The chivalric child retorted without flinching:

"The knight has armor and a big sword, and he is much more handsome than the navy!"

The few remaining children of the Pirate Sect shrank their heads silently, they had no say at all when it came to discussing appearances-

To be as handsome as the Cloak of Justice and the Knight's Armor, Big Brother Luffy's straw hat is still too far behind.

"Armor and broadswords?"

The Navy kid went on to retort:

"That's the knight's own, do you?"

"I..."

A few knightly children clenched their wooden swords tightly and retorted with blushing faces.

"Yes!"

An unfamiliar voice suddenly came from the doorway, and the knight of justice who came out of the newspaper picture book stood in front of everyone.

And beside the knight, there stood a beautiful and charming orange-haired girl like a princess.

The unrestrained Miss "Princess" tightly covered the large white suit that Galen had forcibly stuffed before, but she did not show any large-scale pictures that were inappropriate for children in front of a crowd of children.

"Knights of Justice?!"

Looking at the cool armor and big sword, the children exclaimed in unison.

"Galen, Nami?"

Karp and Bucky looked at each other in amazement.

"Long time no see."

Galen nodded at Karp and Bucky.

However, he didn't go directly to catch up with Karp after saying hello, but walked to the children who adored him and showed off his gorgeous armor.

The shape of Galenna's armored warrior is definitely in line with the aesthetics of naïve children, who are directly dazzled by the glittering golden light on the greatsword armor:

"So handsome!"

"I'm going to be a knight of justice, too!"

As soon as Galen appeared, the children of the Pirates and Navy defected to the Knight Sect in an instant.

Looking at the children around him, Galen chatted with them without bothering, talking and laughing.

The children's eyes looked at Galen, and there were soon countless little stars of worship.

Karp watched with interest Galen's interaction with the children, and asked Nami curiously:

"This guy... Is it still the type that will take care of children? ”

"Haha..."

Nami chuckled and said, "Galen, he's doing his job!" ”

"Mission?"

Karp grew more and more curious.

Nami nodded and explained seriously:

"In Wallace's words: it's a fight with pirates for the future."

"Galen also said: If we do not occupy the high ground of public opinion, the enemy will occupy it."

Nami pointed to the group of children who had completely ignored their big brother Luffy and regarded Galen as an idolatrous and said:

"When the children grow up listening to the stories of the Righteous Knights, there will not be so many pirates on the sea."

And on this side, Galen is still concentrating on being the "child king".

Galen wasn't the kind of person who had the patience to take care of a bear child, but he had already perfected his ability to put on a show in front of his admirers.

Galen spoke earnestly to the children about his theories:

"If you want to become a knight of justice, you don't have to have external armor and a big sword, and you don't need to do anything earth-shattering right away!"

"The most important thing is to have a heart that is righteous and does not do bad things!"

When a boring meditation lesson comes out of the mouth of an idol or from the mouth of an idol who is close at hand, the teaching effect is completely different.

The longing in the children's eyes became more and more intense, and they asked excitedly, "Then what should we do in the future to become knights of justice?" ”

Galen straightened his face and said in a kind tone:

"It's very simple, just do these 'five oaths of knighthood':"

"First, don't go out hungry."

"Second, when the weather is good, you have to dry the quilt."

"Third, be aware of oncoming traffic when crossing the road"

"Fourth, don't rely on the strength of others."

"Fifth, don't play barefoot on the ground,"
