"Sister Magino, I'm back."

Luffy led Shanks and the others to Magino's tavern.

"You guys go in first, I'm going to put things in the back." Luffy turned to Shanks behind him and said.

After saying that, Luffy dragged the prey he had brought to the storeroom and ignored Shanks and his party.

"What a strange little kid." Shanks shook his head and walked into the tavern.

Luffy, who came to the warehouse, took out a dagger and divided the useful things on the corpse and sorted them out.

The dagger had been out of combat since a year ago, and as the beasts it encountered grew stronger, so did the actual damage it could deal.

When Luffy found out that he had been using the dagger for a year, but he still couldn't master any skills, he simply gave up and switched to the most primitive flesh collision.

It turned out that the feeling of punching into the flesh actually made Luffy feel a little cool, and he couldn't stop it from then on.

Luffy, who had packed everything, washed his hands and entered the tavern through the back door.

The tavern was already full, and Magino was busy pouring drinks on the tables.

"Sister Magino, I'll help you."

Luffy lifted a barrel with one hand and filled the empty glasses on the bar one by one.

"Thank you so much, Luffy."

Magino took Luffy's poured wine glass and got busy again.

After filling all the wine glasses, Luffy took out a jug of milk from under the cabinet and poured it into the glass.

This milk was there two years ago, Luffy's age, there has been no change in height in two years, Magino's family is very worried, afraid that Luffy has dwarfism, and buys good fresh milk for Luffy every day, but it still has no effect.

Luffy fell in love with the feeling of drinking milk, and he used to like to drink yogurt and milk.

In the world of One Piece, animals are more robust and milk tastes better than on Earth, so Luffy did not refuse Magino's milk plan.

Sitting on a stool at the bar, Luffy drank fresh milk one by one, and a cup containing wine fell next to Luffy, and the owner of the cup sat down.

"Ahh Shanks looked at the milk in Luffy's cup and began to tease, "Oops, I'm sorry, I forgot that kids can't drink anymore." ”

Shanks looked at Luffy as if he was an old god, and he couldn't help but want to tease Luffy.

"You want everyone to see which of us is more like a child?" Luffy retorted directly in a childish voice.

"Ahh

Luffy's rebuttal caused everyone present to burst into laughter.

"Cut!" As if he had lost a game, Shanks reluctantly made a sound between his teeth.

"Little ghost, you probably don't know!

We're the fearsome red-haired pirates on the sea, and even the crying kids don't dare to make a sound when they see us! The redhead said with a deliberately low face, imitating a terrifying look.

"So what, my grandfather was a naval hero - Monchi. D. Karp. Luffy said calmly as he drank his milk.

As soon as Luffy's words fell, the entire tavern fell silent in an instant.

If there are a few people who can make Shanks feel intimidated in this sea, Karp is definitely at the top of the list.

Shanks was a trainee sailor on a Roger pirate ship, and he saw Iron Fist countless times. The power of Karp.

There were even several times when he accidentally broke into the aftermath of the battle between Karp and Roger and almost died.

But after all, it was a long time ago, and the current Shanks is not the dyed young man with hair that anyone could flirt with at that time.

Frightened, Shanks regained his composure, put the wine glass on the table, and said viciously, "Navy hero Karp? Boy, do you know that we are pirates, and the most hated thing is the navy!"

Luffy picked up the milk and drank it calmly, his eyes skimmed Shanks with his peripheral vision, and continued to drink his own milk.

"It's not fun." Shanks suddenly let go, shook his hand, sat down helplessly, picked up his beer and said, "You kid is so weird. ”

The whole tavern became noisy again.

"By the way, what are you doing in the East China Sea?" Luffy turned his head and asked lightly.

This is also Luffy's doubt in his previous life, it stands to reason that the current Shanks already has the strength of the top Seven Martial Seas.

Although it is true that there have been many characters who have shocked the world in the East China Sea, there is no doubt that the East China Sea is the weakest sea.

Shanks heard Luffy's question, hesitated slightly, shook his glass, and said, "You seem to know me well." ”

Looking up at the clock on the wall, Shanks said in a deep voice, "I'm here to find the heir of a benefactor, who is in a bit of a precarious situation. ”

"Heir..."Luffy drank all the milk in the cup, silently thinking in his heart: "It seems that he came to look for Ace, no wonder..."

Shanks sighed suddenly, his eyes condensed with faint tears, he took off his hat, buttoned it next to his glass, and instantly raised it and drank it all.

"My grandfather... I think I've said something similar..."

"What......" Shanks quickly turned his head and asked when he heard Luffy's words.

Luffy walked over to the container with the empty cup and poured another glass of milk.

"My grandfather once told me... He adopted a friend's heir. Luffy said with an innocent smile.

Shanks looked at Luffy suspiciously, sat down in his chair, and poured a full drink again, not knowing what he was going to say.

Luffy raised the milk glass, motioned to Shanks and continued, "He seems to be older than me, and he said that he will be my brother in the future." ”

“......”

Shanks' hand shaking his glass suddenly trembled, as if he was recalling something in his mind.

Hero of the Navy. Karp, the son of a friend...

Thinking of the strange endings of the battles between Captain Roger and Karp in the past, Shanks inexplicably felt that the kid Luffy said was probably the person he was looking for.

Raising his glass, he responded to Luffy, looked up and drank it all in one gulp.

The red-haired pirates in the back didn't make a sound since I don't know when, and the tavern was unusually quiet at the moment, only the choked sound of Shanks drinking and the sound of Luffy drinking milk.

Time passed in silence.

The more Shanks thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.

If Karp had adopted the captain's son, then his safety should not be worried.

And...

Shanks looked down at Luffy who was drinking milk, and it seemed that this kid was deliberately telling himself something...

"What a grandson of Karp." Shanks looked at Luffy, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and said, "It seems that there is another powerful admiral in the navy." ”

"Navy?" Luffy licked the milk from his mouth and said, "I'm not going to work for the World Government." ”

"But if I really want to say what I'm going to do in the future, or my goal......" Luffy said, got up from his chair, stepped on the table with a tiger head shoe, raised the milk cup in his hand, and said loudly:

"My goal is the sea of stars!"

............

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on this big baby, who obviously thought that this was an amazing young man just now.

But seeing Luffy say such shameful words with such a cute gesture, everyone couldn't hold back anymore at this moment, and laughed out loud.

All of a sudden, the tavern was full of people, and even Magino, who had already served as the proprietress of the hostess, covered her mouth and laughed.

These people are not laughing at Luffy's dreams, but seeing such a cute child say such words, they feel very cute, and they are sorry for their eyes if they don't laugh.

Just when Shanks and the others were amused by Luffy's appearance, Magino smiled, hugged Luffy from the table to the stool and said, "Our future captain, we must grow up quickly, if the owner of the sea is a little dwarf, how unsightly." ”

As he spoke, Magino poured Luffy a full glass of milk, and Luffy felt that he was simply milky at the moment.

Luffy suddenly stood up again, as if he had thought of something, and said to Shanks:

"Shanks, take me with you next time you go to sea."
