Two years later, in a barren mountain to the south of the kingdom of Goa.

The bottom of the valley is like an infinite abyss, but there is no ghostly ape cry, nor is there a deep eagle cry.

Only a pair of cheerful little feet and a flustered saber-toothed tiger.

"Stop! Damn!"

Luffy swung his fist, but his speed did not decrease in the slightest, and his short legs, which had not changed in the slightest for two years, kept stomping on the ground, and then jumped high again, stepping over countless gravels.

"Howl~!" Facing the stone wall in front of him, the saber-toothed tiger let out a desperate roar, and at this moment the saber-toothed tiger no longer had the chic spirit that once ravaged the forest, with blood on its head, a broken tail, and a deep collapse in its abdomen, as if it might die at any time.

Luffy saw that the saber-toothed tiger was cornered, and slowly slowed down, "I didn't expect you to run so fast after being injured like this." The short and cute Luffy wiped the dried blood from his face and said hideously.

"Whew~" The saber-toothed tiger leaned forward, lowered its head, and let out a whining wail.

"I'm sorry." Luffy, who had already seen countless familiar scenes, did not hesitate, and at the moment when the saber-toothed tiger lowered his head, he stepped forward in an instant and exploded its head with a punch.

"It's so weak..."

I don't know when it started, the upgrade can no longer make Luffy feel the feeling of a surge in strength, in the past, the attributes were doubled, and now, one-tenth, in the future, it will be one-twentieth or even less.

And the beasts that Luffy was able to fight on this island are almost dead, and if this continues, the upgrade speed will definitely get slower and slower.

What should I do, if I go to sea early, although I may upgrade quickly, but if I lose my partner in my destiny, I always feel that the gains outweigh the losses.

That's it, that's it, anyway, I don't have any national hatred and family hatred, and my current strength can barely survive in the East China Sea, so let's do it first.

Let's go home first, I haven't been back for a long time.

Just when Luffy was upset, a group of unexpected people came to Windmill Town.

In the cramped small harbor of Windmill Town, a large pirate ship docks steadily.

At the bow of the ship is a red dragon head, and on the sail, a huge skull is drawn, and the left eye of the skull has a red scratch.

The pirates arrived quietly, but the villagers weren't ready to receive them.

The first person to recognize that it was a pirate ship shouted loudly, and then more and more people spotted the pirate ship.

There was a rush of chickens and dogs in the village, and every house closed its doors and windows, and held something that could be used as a weapon in the house, nervously on guard.

If the pirates are kind enough, they can take some of the food and money that the villagers keep in their yards without much effort.

But if these pirates are insatiable, the villagers will also let them know that this sea is not for everyone to run amok.

This is already the most appropriate response plan for these small villages after encountering many pirates.

However, the residents of Windmill Town may have a long time to learn today, as they have encountered one of the few pirates who do not oppress the common people, the red-haired pirates.

"Guys, it's time to stop. Let's go, get off the boat and go for a drink. ”

On the pirate ship, a man with red hair and a straw hat said.

"It's finally here, I want meat!"

"Hey, hey... Isn't it time for you to think about losing weight? ”

"Let's go! Hopefully there is enough wine in this village. ”

In Class A, many people appeared one after another, hooking their shoulders in twos and threes, and walked off the boat while talking.

"Who are you?" The authority figure of Windmill Town, the village chief, appeared, looking in horror at the people who stepped off the boat.

The crowd parted, and a red-haired boy in a straw hat appeared from the middle of the crowd, walked up to the village chief, and said, "Don't worry, old man, we are not bad people, we are just a group of passers-by who need supplies." ”

"We're ready, you can take whatever you want, as long as you can get out of here as soon as possible." The village chief pointed to the belongings prepared by the villagers and said.

"Don't do that, trust us, we're not good people, but we're not going to do anything to you and this village." Shanks held his straw hat and said helplessly.

Looking around, Shanks didn't seem to have found his goal, and bent down again and said to the village chief, "Old man, you are the head of this village, can you tell me how to get to the tavern in the village?" My crew needs some food to drink, don't worry, we'll be going to give you money, no less. ”

"You're looking for a tavern, aren't you?" Suddenly, an immature voice came from behind the village chief.

"Come with me." The young voice did not pause, and spoke directly.

"Don't worry, grandpa the village chief, I'll take them back to the tavern first." Luffy's calm tone made the village chief's flustered heart stabilize a lot, and he didn't say anything, making way for Luffy.

However, none of them moved, and they all stared blankly at Luffy's back.

A three-year-old child was holding a rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was tied to a tiger that had lost half of its head, and then the tiger's tail was tied to the tail of a snake, and the snake's head was tied to the body of a dead wolf.

In this way, one after the other, there were fifteen beasts, each of which had four or five Luffy or more.

But such a group of fierce beasts were dragged to the ground by a short toddler, and on the toddler's feet, there was a pair of extremely strange tiger head shoes.

"What are you doing, aren't you going to drink? Don't keep up yet. Seeing that they were dumbfounded, Luffy said impatiently.

"Oh, that's interesting." Shanks pressed down his straw hat and said in a low voice, then strode after Luffy.

"Hahaha, this kid is so weird."

"Maybe it's a Devil Fruit that makes people young, and your real age is your grandfather."

"Phew! Isn't it your grandfather who can be my grandfather?!"

"I'm your grandfather."

"Get out!" Get out!"

The pirates talked and taunted each other, as if they weren't the ones who had just been shocked to the point of losing their minds.

Maybe this is the pirate, with a strong heart, reliable power, and a yearning for freedom.
