Chapter 4: Days in Windmill Town

When night comes, in a tavern in Windmill Town, little Luffy sits in a small corner.

"Hey, hello little brother."

A little girl with short dark green hair brought a bowl of hot porridge in front of Luffy.

Luffy raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him, with big eyes, delicate face, and gentle smile, which made the person who saw this face like a breeze.

The young girl's name was Magino, and she was the daughter of the tavernkeeper.

"Thank you, sister."

Luffy hadn't eaten a bite since he came to this world, and when he looked at the food in front of him, he didn't care whether the porridge was hot or not, and immediately gulped it down.

"Haha, little brother, what's your name?"

Magino couldn't help but laugh a little as she watched Luffy gobble it up.

"Woo... Woo... My name is Luffy. Sister, is there meat here?" Luffy, who swallowed the last bite of porridge, raised his head and asked.

"Luffy, my name is Magino. Wait, I'll make you a barbecue. ”

After all, she is the proprietress who will be in charge of the entire tavern in a few years, and her emotional intelligence is higher than that of many of her peers.

Just hearing Luffy's words, I thought of going to make meat for Luffy.

This time, however, Magino was wrong.

"Wait, Sister Magino, I don't want to eat meat yet." Luffy hurriedly stopped Magino, who was rushing to the kitchen.

"I want to ask my sister, where does the meat in this tavern come from?"

That's right, in fact, Luffy's real intention is to see if there is a slaughterhouse or something like that in Windmill Town, so that he can safely gain experience.

Don't look at how strong Luffy is in the future, he is only three years old now, he is a little more solid than ordinary children, after all, the attributes are there, no matter how high the spirit is, it can't be used as an attack now.

Maybe if you get serious, you can't even beat Magino.

"Huh? The meat was usually collected by the hunters of the town in the mountains and forests, and it would be brought to the tavern every morning. Magino replied, confused.

"So?! All right... Luffy, whose hopes were shattered, lay on the table, feeling his body hollowed out.

"Hmmm...

Luffy will live in my house from now on, my dad has already helped you clean up a room for you to make a bedroom. Magino said as she looked at Luffy strangely.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Magino."

Luffy went to his bedroom under Magino's lead, said goodnight to Magino, and fell on the bed.

Although the body is digitized, the habits of some genes have not changed, and Luffy fell asleep within ten seconds of lying down.

The next day, the sun was just half exposed, and the moon was still hanging high in the sky.

"Village Chief! Chief! Oh no! Oh no!" At the door of the village chief's house, Magino kept banging on the door.

"It's coming, it's coming. What's going on?" The village chief, who was accustomed to getting up early, opened the door on crutches.

"What's wrong? Little Magino?"

"Village Chief, Luffy, Luffy... He's gone!" Magino said breathlessly, which shows how great the anxiety in her heart is.

"I wanted to see how Luffy was resting this morning, but I quietly opened the door and found that the bed was empty and Luffy wasn't there. I searched the entire tavern and didn't see Luffy in the vicinity. Magino anxiously pulled the village chief's arm and shook it constantly.

"Slow down, slow down, Magino." The village chief, who was shaken so much that he couldn't stand it, said.

Magino gradually stopped.

"Don't worry, little Magino. Although Luffy is young, he is very smart and will be fine, so you can rest assured. The village chief comforted Magino, but the village chief's eyes also showed a worried look.

An hour later, the sun had fully risen and the sky was cloudless.

Outside the town, a short figure dragged something with difficulty, walking towards the town.

Luffy had just entered the town and was immediately spotted by several people.

"Hey! Luffy is back. ”

"Come on! Come on! He's here. ”

Hulala, a large crowd surrounded him, completely blocking Luffy's small figure.

"Let it, let it." Magino walked in front of Luffy with the village chief.

I saw Luffy with a boning knife pinned to his waist, and his right hand grabbed the leg of a dead rabbit, which had a big knife in its stomach, and the blood had dried up because it had been too long.

"Luffy, what are you doing here?" Magino stepped forward and asked with concern, and was relieved to see that Luffy was not injured except for the dirty clothes.

"I'm sorry, Sister Magino, for worrying everyone." Luffy looked at so many people surrounding him, and he didn't expect things to be so big.

"What are you doing here?" The village chief walked over and asked tremblingly.

"I want to eat meat, but Sister Magino's family doesn't have much meat, so I want to find meat to eat myself." Luffy, of course, doesn't say what he really thinks.

"I'm sorry, Sister Magino, I got some vegetables and this knife from the kitchen." Luffy took the knife out of his waist and handed it to Magino in the direction of the knife handle.

"It's okay little Luffy, it's okay if you're okay." Magino took the boning knife and stood up.

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone, thank you for your help, I'll take Luffy back to clean up first." With that, Magino took Luffy's small hand, picked up the rabbit Luffy killed with the other hand, said goodbye to the village chief, and walked in the direction of the tavern.

As soon as he entered the tavern, Magino hadn't said anything yet, and Luffy preemptively said, "Sister Magino, can you give me that boning knife?"

Magino was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you want this knife for?"

"I want to go back to the forest and hunt wild beasts." Luffy said.

Magino crouched down, just about to say something.

Luffy preemptively said, "I'm going to be strong enough to beat my grandfather, so he doesn't have to go to work anymore and eats senbei at home every day." After that, I will be the strongest person in the world, and no one will dare to do what I don't like!"

Magino looked at Luffy's eyes, but her small eyes flashed with courage and confidence.

Magino was silent for a while, didn't speak, slowly stood up, walked to the back of the tavern, and after a while walked to Luffy's side.

"Here, Luffy, this is what my dad used to hunt." With that, Magino handed Luffy a crossbody bag with a dagger, "That knife is for the kitchen, it's a little blunt, this one is more suitable for you." ”

"But!" Magino suddenly squatted down and put his hands on Luffy's face and rubbed it, "You're smarter than other peers, you have to promise me, Luffy!"

"Absolutely! Absolute! Don't let yourself get hurt, okay?" Magino's hands slowed down, but he didn't take them away, still slowly squeezing Luffy's face.

"Hmm...... I know... Sister Magino. Luffy was bullied again because of his thin figure.

"Hmm. That's good. I'm going to cook for you, and you're waiting here. ”

"Good!"
