Chapter 27: Windmill Village
Windmill Village.
That is, Luffy's hometown.
The border area of the "Auroville Island" is also part of the Kingdom of Goa, but it is separated by a large area of the Cordor Mountains, which is on the edge of the territory.
Some villagers once suspected that the reason why Windmill Village belonged to the Goa Kingdom was because the entire Dawn Island was ruled by the Goa Kingdom, so the windmill village on the edge was also divided into the name of the kingdom...... However, it is clear that the ruling class of the Kingdom of Goya does not care about such a rural place at all.
On the other hand, since this is the hometown of the naval hero Vice Admiral Karp, the young navy in the East China Sea Division who grew up listening to Karp's heroic stories, as well as Karp's admirers, often come to the windmill village to visit the holy land, and the warship patrols take special care of this sea area, and they come here every once in a while, which has caused a situation where even pirates rarely appear.
Therefore, it is far away from the hustle and bustle, away from the struggle, and it is always peaceful and peaceful......
Other than that, it's an ordinary and ordinary village.
The biggest feature is the more than a dozen giant windmills that are spread throughout the village, several stories high, and have wings up to 20 meters long! At the same time, it is also the landmark of the windmill village and the origin of the village's name.
"Such a big windmill!"
"That's amazing!"
Ace and Sabo were standing on a hillside outside the village, looking at the big windmills in the village with a shocked expression, and a few large wind wings were spinning as if dancing to the rhythm of the wind!
"How! Ace, Sabo! ”
"This is the windmill village where I was born and raised! Look at those giant windmills, aren't they amazing, they're spectacular! I'm telling you, when the wind blows, those big wings will gurgle and spin non-stop, and it's fun! ”
Luffy dances and excitedly shows off his hometown to Ace and Sabo.
"Luffy, what are these windmills for?!" Ace asked with interest.
"Ah......h
But apparently he asked the wrong person, only to see Luffy tilt his head and look confused.
Isn't the windmill just for spinning, is there any other use?
"Ahem...... These giant windmills have many functions for pastures, such as grinding grain, coarse salt, tobacco, extracting oil, rolling wool and felt, making paper, and even removing stagnant water, and generating electricity with the help of wind power. Saab explained.
"Wow......!"
"That's amazing!"
Although Ace and Luffy didn't understand what these functions meant, they always felt very powerful.
So he put on a special look of Saab - we all understood what you said!
"By the way, how do you know so clearly, Sabo?" Ace asked.
"Oh, it's all ...... in the book"
Sabo suddenly smiled.
“…… Books! ”
As soon as Ace and Luffy heard the word book. A bitter expression suddenly appeared on his face.
It seems to recall the horrors of being dominated by books these days.
If you put it before, you asked them what the book is? They will surely ask you what is the book? Is it tasty?
Now, though, they know that books are indeed meant to be eaten...... And it's very hard!
From the beginning, Char not only planned to teach Luffy to cultivate, but to some extent he paid more attention to Luffy's learning, and whenever he finished practicing in the past few days, Char would begin to supervise them to study hard and read and write...... He didn't want someone to end up with his own name wrong! He wants Luffy to fully develop their "moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor"!
At least now, in addition to the 'body', Luffy has also made considerable progress in the 'beauty' category. The most obvious thing is that these bear children are as well-behaved as puppies in front of him - however, the breed is Erha!
But obviously, Ace and Luffy both lack the talent to learn, and when they read a book, they will completely precipitate in the sea of books, and they will extricate themselves - blowing bubbles through their noses and falling asleep!
But Sabo is the opposite, he is the kind of child of someone else's family, he learns knowledge very quickly, and he himself has a great interest in learning new knowledge, unlike a certain two Erha who have given up treatment, which makes Char very pleased, worthy of being the second person in the great revolutionary army in the future, the genius of the chief of the general staff, sure enough, some things are destined by nature!
Luffy and the three of them walked into the windmill village with a leisurely pace.
Along the way, windmills, pastures, cows, ......
The feeling of tranquility and tranquility in the wind makes their minds and bodies relax and are very comfortable.
"It's a great place!"
Ace and Sabo had heartfelt smiles on their faces.
As the son of a nobleman of the Goa Kingdom, Sabo grew up in the town of Gao, and before he left home, he had been living in the spotless Pearl of the East China Sea, where the beauty was famous throughout the East China Sea, but when he came to the windmill village, he was deeply attracted by this peaceful small village.
The view, the air, the atmosphere......
In his eyes, this inconspicuous marginal village and town is a hundred times more beautiful than the so-called Pearl of the East China Sea!
As for Ace, he felt more deeply at the moment.
He didn't see a good life like Sabo, he was raised by Karp in the bandit family of Dadan from a young age, and he basically went to the Cordor Mountains, the terminal of the uncertain objects, the place where the jungle eats the strong, and grew up in this harsh environment full of struggle.
For Ace, the moment he stepped into the windmill village, he felt a warm, comfortable, and peaceful atmosphere, which he had never felt before, and Ace felt it deeply, and even in this atmosphere, his tense nerves all day were relaxed.
Ace took a deep breath and a warm smile appeared on his face, he sincerely liked this feeling in his heart.
It's a cosy little village and town that you can't bear to spoil it.
Seeing that Ace and Sabo both liked the appearance of the windmill village, Luffy showed joy on his face, grabbed Ace and Sabo's hands, and ran towards the village, while gushing about the windmill village.
"Ace, Sabo! Do you see the path over there, go over there, and you will reach the pier and the beach. By the way, Uncle Sam's shop is also over there, and he has the best fish there, and Uncle Sam also has a big merchant ship, which I think is the best way to make a pirate ship. That's the village chief's grandfather's house, wait for us to go over and be quiet, don't let the village chief's grandfather find out that we secretly came down the mountain to play, otherwise he will definitely tell the stinky old man! ”
"There's Magino's tavern over there, by the way, Ace Sabo, let's go and get Magino to drink!"
"Drinking?!"
Ace and Sabo's eyes lit up suddenly, and they couldn't help but lick their lips.
Last time, after tasting the horse monkey shochu that Char took out, they fell in love with the feeling of drinking!
But Char, as a teacher, how could they let these bear children drink.
Luffy happily took Ace and Sabo and rushed in the direction of the Magino Tavern.
