Chapter 224: A Fateful Encounter
And at this moment, Luffy was holding a few hundred Baileys in his hand, and he happened to be buying wine with Miss Magino in the tavern......
"Luffy, did you buy this for your family?"
Magino took Bailey from Luffy's hand and asked softly as she turned to help him get the wine.
However, Luffy completely inherited Chen Mo's simple and sincere character, and said bluntly. "No, I bought it myself!"
Magino's movements froze, and she turned around and returned Belisse to Luffy's hands, explaining.
"Children can't drink......"
"Don't!" Luffy immediately yelled and said.
"Pirates are said to be drinking, I want to be a pirate, I want to drink too!"
"No matter what, it just won't work!" Magino looked at Luffy who was making a fuss, without a trace of impatience, and replied gently and firmly.
Suddenly, Luffy's mouth pursed slightly, and he said in a milky voice. "Sister Magino, you give me a bottle, and I'll give you Bailey......"
"No...... No......"
Magino shook her head, raised her index finger and swung it from side to side, and said. "Even if you secretly let me enter the 'Recreational Hot Spring Pavilion' next time, it won't work~"
"Yo~ beautiful hostess, please take out all the wine and food!"
Just as Luffy was about to say something, a slightly vicissitudes of life voice interjected......
Luffy turned his head to see that it was a man in a white shirt wearing a straw hat, and asked subconsciously. "You ......"
I don't know why, when Shanks looked at Luffy's pure eyes, he inexplicably felt an indescribable feeling and replied.
"I'm Shanks, an ordinary pirate!"
"Shanks, long time no see!" Magino also recognized the man in front of him, and immediately said in surprise.
"Hahaha, Miss Magino, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to be so pretty......" Shanks smiled heartily.
"Pirates?!"
Luffy suddenly felt his eyes light up and asked curiously.
"Nea...... Are you the kind of pirates who are free on the seas? ”
"Haha, little ghost, even if you praise me like this, I won't secretly give you wine!"
Shanks casually placed a box containing a Devil Fruit on top of the bar and said.
As if by fate, Shanks and Luffy meet by chance in Magino's tavern, and a group of bandits are on their way on horseback......
Luffy, who has always longed for pirates, but because of the protection of the navy and revolutionary army in the past, no local pirates in the East China Sea have had the opportunity to approach Windmill Village......
And Shanks can be said to be the first living pirate Luffy encountered, and suddenly Luffy can be said to have chased Shanks with bright eyes and asked non-stop.
It just so happens that Shanks is quite childish, and he doesn't have the slightest scruple or concern for Luffy's questioning, and after arranging for his partners to sit down, while enjoying the long-lost food and wine in Windmill Village, he casually shares the happy life on the sea with Luffy.
What is an all-you-can-eat banquet......
What is worth entrusting a partner to the back......
What is full of adventures full of unknowns and dangers......
It can be said that when he heard Luffy's blood boiling, he couldn't wait to go home and punch his godfather three or five times, and went to sea after robbing Bailey.
"Nea...... Shanks, take me with you next time you go to sea! Luffy looked at Shanks with his eyes full of longing and yearning, and asked seriously.
"I want to be a pirate too!"
"Hahaha ......" In the face of Luffy's request, the childish Shanks naturally spared no effort to strike.
"Can someone like you become a pirate?"
"Why not? I'm a great swimmer, and I run 10 kilometers every morning! Luffy shouted in earnest.
"Hahahaha......"
Suddenly, many members of the "Red-Haired Pirates" burst out laughing!
They are the "red-haired pirates" who are fearless even in the waters of the New World, and they didn't expect that one day they would be applied to join with such qualifications!
"Luffy, no matter how good you are at swimming and running, you can't be a pirate with this alone!"
He also has a child who is about the same age as Luffy, and he can't help but explain to Luffy.
"I can also endorse books, and I am also very good at reading......" Luffy recalled Chen Mo's education and increased his chips again.
"Hahaha......"
Hearing Luffy's innocent words, many members of the "Red-Haired Pirates" burst out laughing again.
What does endorsing, reading, and being a pirate have to do with it?
"Haha, will your reading strength become stronger?" Shanks asked with a smile.
However, halfway through the laugh, Shanks inexplicably remembered the man who lay on the beach chair and read a book every day, but his strength was completely illogical......
How can it be repaired!
This kind of person is really hated!
"But my godfather told me that you have to read a hundred books to be considered a barely qualified pirate......" Luffy repeated with some exasperation.
It's a pity that Shanks, as a senior illiterate, didn't want to mention the book at all, let alone think back to the hated man, so he simply handed Luffy a glass of juice.
"Okay, don't be angry......"
"Come on...... Take a break with a glass of juice! ”
Suddenly, Luffy, who had been taught by Chen Mo to be quite polite, instantly forgot what had just happened, and happily took the juice, not forgetting to thank him. "Thank you......"
Then, Luffy drank the juice in both hands.
"Haha, look, it's really a juice drinker!"
Shanks watched Mei Zizi drink the juice, his face full of "well-behaved. Luffy, who had a JPG" expression, couldn't help but keep patting the table and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha......"
For a while, the bar was filled with laughter.
However, the thief with a bounty of 8 million Bailey is here!
I saw that this thief with a high bounty kicked the door of the bar directly to the ground with domineering attitude, and walked in like a husky patrolling his own territory.
Suddenly, everyone in the bar was stunned!
???
"Hmph...... Excuse me! As the 8 million Bailey bandit revealed his true face in front of the "Red-Haired Pirates", I saw his face disdainful, and said with a little mockery.
"Is this what the so-called pirates? Why are they all stupid? ”
And the bandit leader who was followed by a high bounty, and behind him were more than a dozen bandit minions wearing white clothes and white turbans, and looked at the proud expressions on their faces, obviously not ordinary small characters.
For a while, under the backdrop of many younger brothers, the thief with a head worth 8 million Bailey can be described as full of momentum, as if it was really a big man.
