After a day, Ming finally arrived at the harbor of Windmill Village.

When he came to the bow of the boat and looked at the long-lost windmill village, his heart was full of emotion.

The last time he returned, he was a small ensign, but now he is a major leading a ship on his own.

Kent looked at Ming, who was standing at the bow of the boat, and he walked up to Ming's side, smiled and asked, "Major, is this your hometown?" ”

"Yes, this is my hometown." Ming nodded.

He turned his head to Kent and said, "Kent, you can take everyone to buy things in the windmill village, and everyone can relax a little, the people here are quite simple." ”

"I see, Major." Ken nodded in response.

Seeing Kent's reaction, Ming used his feet to exert force, and the whole person jumped up and jumped from the boat to the shore.

When the villagers of Windmill Village, who were working on the shore, saw Akira for the first time, they thought it was a naval colonel who had arrived.

However, when they saw Ming's appearance, their eyes showed surprise, and they approached Ming.

"Ming, why are you back?"

"Ming, are you a big official now?"

……

The villagers warmly surrounded Ming to ask questions, making Ming feel an indescribable sense of happiness, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

He responded softly, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

The sailors on the navy ship looked at this scene, and they were slightly surprised in their hearts.

During the time I followed Ming, although I was not the kind of person who was difficult to contact, I had never seen Ming smile like this, which showed that Ming was really happy at this time.

Kent said to the crowd: "You can get off the boat, but remember that you can't cause conflict with the villagers, otherwise it will be bad to make the major unhappy." ”

"Got it, Captain Wu!" The sailors replied with a smile.

None of them are stupid, so they naturally know that the villagers of Windmill Village have an unusual relationship with Ming.

Ming and the villagers chatted as they walked.

As they got closer to the banquet bar, many villagers who worked in the port returned to the port.

Magino and the village chief in the banquet bar walked directly outside to see because of the noise outside.

When she saw Ming, who was still surrounded by many villagers, Magino's eyes showed surprise, she didn't expect Ming to come back suddenly.

Feeling Magino's gaze, Ming, who was chatting with the villagers, looked up in Magino's direction.

Upon meeting Magino, he abruptly stopped talking to the villagers.

When those villagers saw Ming's behavior, they also followed Ming's gaze.

When they saw that it was Magino, they all understood Ming's behavior, and they all smiled and said nothing, creating a quiet environment for Ming.

"Sister Magino!"

A thousand words filled my heart, but in the end, Ming only said this sentence from his mouth.

Magino heard Ming shouting to herself, she smiled and nodded, and said softly, "Ming, you're back." ”

Ming walked up to Magino and looked at Magino, who was overtaken by himself in height, and said with a smile: "Sister Magino, now that I am a major, I can lead a ship by myself." ”

Looking at Ming in front of her, who needed to raise her head and look up, Magino sighed in her heart, knowing that when she met Ming, Ming was still a head short of her height.

Now not only surpassing himself in height, but also becoming a lieutenant in the navy, it can be said that he has achieved something.

However, when Magino heard the second half of Ming's words, she said with some uncertainty: "Ming, are you saying that this time you came back by yourself, not on Mr. Karp's boat?" ”

"Yes." Ming nodded and said, "From now on, I should only come back by myself, after all, I also led a shipload of sailors." ”

"Then you have to work hard, and you must not live up to Mr. Karp's cultivation of you." Magino reminded solemnly.

"Of course, Sister Magino doesn't have to worry about this." Ming said with a smile.

When the village chief heard that Ming became a major, he was also smiling, after all, Ming can achieve something, and it is also the face of their windmill village that has risen.

He smiled and said to Ming and Magino, "You two don't stand outside and talk, if you want to talk, go into the bar." ”

Hearing the village chief's words, Ming and Magino didn't say much, and the two walked into the banquet bar together.

After sitting down, Ming opened the conversation box and kept telling Magino about what happened to him during this time.

Magino listened to Ming's narration with a smile, inserting a sentence or two from time to time, making Ming more and more engaged.

Some villagers who had nothing to do also sat in the banquet bar to listen to Ming's narration, and after listening to Ming's experience at sea, many people were amazed.

For them, in the short period of a few years, they have experienced more things than they have in most of their lives, but this is also due to ability, after all, the stronger the person, the more terrible the people and things they come into contact with.

In the end, Magino said to Ming: "Ming, when you are at sea, you must remember to be cautious in case of trouble, and don't be blindly confident because of the achievements you have achieved in a while, you know?" ”

In the face of Magino's admonition, Ming nodded and replied, "I know, Sister Magino!" ”

"Since you're back, after eating at noon, let's go meet Luffy and Ace." Magino stood up and said.

"Mr. Karp has told me several times about this, and I'll wait until after noon to see Luffy and Ace." Ming responded.

After eating a long-lost meal at noon, Ming immediately went to Dadan's house.

With his current skills, the road that would have caused a little trouble would not have put any pressure on him at all.

After more than half an hour, he arrived at Dadan's house.

Looking at the familiar house, Ming shouted in the direction of Dadan's house: "Ace! Luffy! ”

Hearing Ming's shout, Dadan rushed out with the other members of Dadan's house.

They still have weapons in their hands, because it is not Karp's voice, and Dadan is worried that it is the enemy that Ace and Luffy have provoked to find here, so they are ready to fight.

Seeing that the other party was a navy, and he was still wearing a coat of justice, Da Dan's heart was a little less vigilant, after all, it must be Karp's people who can know here.

When Dadan saw Ming's appearance, her pupils shrank, and she recognized Ming's identity, so she naturally knew that Ming was just a small sailor under Karp.

But now Ming is wearing a coat of justice, which shows that Ming's military rank is at least the rank of major.

She motioned for her men to withdraw their weapons, then stepped forward and said, "Boy, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'm looking for Luffy and Ace." Ming said softly.

"The two of them don't know where to run for a long time, you go look for them elsewhere." Dadan said impatiently.

Ming chuckled and said, "No, the two of them are here." ”

Through the domineering sensing of seeing and smelling, he noticed that Luffy and Ace's breath was rapidly approaching.

Ace and Luffy originally thought it was Karp coming back, but when they rushed to Dadan's house, they found that the other party was not Karp, and they jumped down from the tree without interest, and Ace said to Ming: "Do you have something to do with us?" ”

Listening to Ace's tone of rejection, Ming said, "Ace, don't you remember me?" ”

As soon as Ming said this, Ace raised his head and glanced at it seriously, and suddenly his pupils shrank, because he recognized Ming's identity.

He was a little surprised and said, "Why are you?" ”

Luffy, who also recognized Ming, said with some excitement: "Brother Ming, why are you here?" ”

"I'm going back to Windmill Village, so naturally I'm going to come and see you two." Ming replied.

"Hey, what about Grandpa?" Luffy couldn't help but ask.

It stands to reason that since Ming is back, Karp Tieding is also here.
