『Goya Kingdom, Windmill Village——』

A boy in a navy seagull t-shirt carrying a vegetable basket walks happily through the countryside as farmers, fishermen, and villagers pass by...... Men, women, and children, all laughed when they saw him.

"Luffy, you're out to buy groceries again?" An uncle carried a hoe and wiped his sweat with a towel around his neck.

The six-year-old boy grinned and said, "Yes! ”

An aunt carrying a bag of vegetables took out a carrot from the bag and quipped, "Luffy, how much does a carrot cost?" ”

Last time, Luffy came out to buy groceries, and after buying carrots, he directly gave all the hundreds of Baileys in his hand to the store, and there was no one left, and he went back to make the person who asked him buy groceries half angry.

Luffy can't figure it out, such an unpalatable thing must be very expensive!

Who would buy it if it's unpalatable? It should be cheaper! Fortunately, Luffy is young, otherwise people would have to hang this stinky boy and care for him.

"Luffy, don't buy the wrong one this time!" The resident passing by smiled and touched Luffy's head, "If you buy it wrong, I won't let you sleep at my house next time." ”

Several villagers came and pinched the boy's smooth cheek and grinned, all very fond of the little grandson that Lieutenant General Karp had thrown in this town.

Karp didn't specifically arrange any accommodation for Luffy, but in this hometown of him, Karp's name is the biggest pass, and the villagers naturally take a lot of care about Luffy.

Luffy has been in Windmill Village for the past few years, basically living at Aunt Mary's house today, Grandpa George's house tomorrow, and the village elder's house later. Sometimes I was so playful that I just slept in Miss Magino's bar...... Miss Magino is very nice, not only always giving Luffy rice, but also buying him new clothes from time to time, as if she is used to treating Luffy as her own brother......

What's even more rare is that Luffy, a young man, has a simple personality and is carefree, and no matter what troubles are in his stomach, he can't stay the next day.

He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this kind of life at all, but sometimes he felt that it was too cool to have no grandfather to give him the iron fist of love for three days and two days.

In addition, Luffy was born handsome and cute, so in Windmill Village, a corner of the Goa Kingdom, it can be said that everyone loves him.

Luffy dissatisfied: "I've figured it out, and I won't buy it wrong again." ”

The old man at the entrance of the village held a cigarette and looked at him and smiled.

When he came to the entrance of the vegetable market, Luffy held the vegetable basket, "Buy vegetables!" ”

The greengrocer didn't need to ask him what he bought, he skillfully picked up a little fresh ingredients and put them in his vegetable basket, Luffy happily handed a wad of Bailey to the other party, "Give." ”

The vegetable seller took it with a smile, and a loud shout came from the side: "Where do you spend so much!" ”

The aunt was not at ease, so she followed all the way, and snatched back a few banknotes from the vegetable vendor in the first two steps, and glared: "Find money!" ”

"I'm not kidding him...... "The vegetable vendor shrunk his neck and obediently looked for money.

……

Luffy said, "I'll just say I won't buy the wrong one again." ”

He sat in front of the bar, with a basket of vegetables next to him, and Magino behind the bar said helplessly: "Your solution is to wait for others to help?" ”

"What's wrong?" Luffy didn't feel embarrassed at all by being helped, and he lined up the rest of the change on the table, "Magino, I'm going to eat the 'Righteous Meal'." ”

Magino smiled and put away the money and went to make Luffy a "righteous meal", which was actually just a piece of bread, a meat steak, a plate of fruit, and a bowl of soup.

While Luffy was concentrating on eating, Magino quietly put the money just now in Luffy's vegetable basket, and watched the little boy eat with a smile behind his back.

While eating, the few drinkers and diners in the bar seemed to hear something and ran out.

"What's wrong?" Luffy nibbled on the steak with his fork, and turned back strangely to see that the street outside seemed to be quite noisy, "Is there a circus passing by?" ”

Magino wiped his apron and told Luffy to continue eating, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

She pushed open the two doors of the bar and saw the villagers hurrying down the street as they gathered on their way to the port.

Magino felt strange in her heart, and when she saw an acquaintance passing by, she hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "Larry, what happened?" ”

Larry left a message: "There are pirates coming!" So he trotted with the crowd to the port.

"Pirate ......"

Magino was a little worried, but she was a girl, and she couldn't help if she went along, so she might as well go back and take care of Luffy.

When Luffy saw her come back, he bit down on his bread and asked, "What's wrong with everyone?" ”

Magino shook her head and said, "It looks like pirates are passing by...... Don't worry, it's going to be fine. ”

Vice Admiral Karp, the hero of the navy, will come to his hometown in the East China Sea twice when he has nothing to do, and basically few people have the courage to harass the Goya Kingdom in Karp's hometown.

And the pirates who really have the courage and don't care about Karp's prestige will not choose to nest in this "weakest sea" as a little pirate, and they have already rushed into the great route to fight for fame.

Luffy chewed on his bread and said, "Grandpa said that pirates are all bad guys, and he always wants me to be a navy......"

"Do you want to be, then?" Magino asked with a smile.

"I don't know......" Luffy seemed to think about this for the first time, he used to be beaten in front of his grandfather, and he shuddered when he thought of this, "When the navy has to face grandpa every day, right?" It's horrible......"

Magino chuckled.

……

At the port, the village elder was surrounded by villagers standing behind him, confronting the pirates who had disembarked from a pirate ship on the shore.

"Pirates! You are not welcome here. The village elder said in a deep voice.

The villagers behind responded in unison, all looking very fierce.

Among the pirates, the red-haired man in a straw hat scratched his head in annoyance, "Oops, I'm hated......"

Rakki nibbling on a big chicken thigh. Lu laughed and said, "We're pirates, it's normal to be hated, Captain?" ”

"That's right!" Shanks seemed to suddenly realize the funny appearance, "Hahahaha......" Jesus Bu and the other crew members laughed heartily.

The villagers were speechless, are these people really pirates, what are they happy about?!

"They're so happy."

The village elder suddenly heard a childish voice at his feet, looked down, and was so shocked that his hair stood on end, "Luffy, why did you run here!" It's dangerous here! ”

Luffy held a spoon in his mouth and looked at the pirates who returned to the pirate ship, not intending to force their way into the village, but they didn't leave there, and simply held a banquet on the deck......

"They're so happy." He muttered again, and with a smile on his face, he wanted to run over to join the banquet on that ship, but was grabbed by the back of the neck by the village elder and lifted up, "Magino, take him back!" ”

The village elder turned his head and yelled, and Magino chased after him with a word of apology.

Well?

On the pirate ship, Shanks takes off his straw hat, revealing bright red hair. He couldn't help but smile when he noticed the villagers on the shore who were still wary of them, as well as Magino and Luffy walking towards the village.

"What a beautiful young lady, Captain." Jesus came over with a grin, "Would you like to stay here a little longer?" ”

The others shouted, "Jesus, you want to go home!" ”

"Who said that?" Jesusb denied, "How can a man under the banner of pirates be homesick if he has not yet become famous in the sea?" ”

He raised his finger and rubbed his nose, "...... will be flattened by his son. ”

The deputy captain was stunned, "You still have a son?" ”

"Didn't I tell you?" Jesus was stunned.

"When did you say that?!" Everyone fell, and soon they were giggling again.

In such a joyful atmosphere, Shanks took a sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to himself: "The wine in the East China Sea is not bad, it's ......good to stay for a while."

……

The village elder was so depressed that the group of pirates did not forcibly intrude on their windmill village, although it was an unexpected good thing, but this group of people actually stayed at the port.

Windmill Village is located on the edge of the island, even if you go to the main city of the Goa Kingdom, there are not necessarily the lords of the king's army who are willing to send troops to deal with these pirates.

As for the Navy...... Not all kingdoms and islands have naval garrisons. Some member countries are willing, others are not. If there is one more naval branch to sponsor, how can the nobles be willing.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Goya was unwilling. As a result, there is no naval branch on the island.

If this group of pirates looted the windmill village, they might be able to attract the attention of the naval branches on other nearby islands, but this group of pirates is very peaceful, they don't rob or make trouble, they usually stay on the pirate ship and play their own games, and occasionally pirates come down to the shore to move, and they don't go close to the windmill village, but in front of the vigilant villagers, they smile and fish on the shore, go into the mountains and forests to hunt, or go to the sea to swim and so on......

The pirates hunted a sea beast weighing several tons, and the villagers were quite greedy, so that it could be eaten for them for a long time.

"You want it?" Shanks sat down on the huge corpse of the sea beast, lowered the brim of his straw hat, and smiled coolly, "Then exchange the 'treasure'!" ”

The villagers are speechless, spend money to buy it, what do you do if it sounds so good!?

In the end, this business with the pirates still didn't work out.

Because the villagers who soon ran to do business joined the banquet of the pirates, and took the initiative to help with the sea beasts, eating and drinking together, singing and dancing, which made the village elder so angry that he was almost bleeding from his brain.

What made his eyes even darker was that he didn't pay attention, and even let Luffy's kid run over and blend into the pirates' banquet!

"Luffy! You give me back! ”

The village elder roared at the crowd surrounding the skeleton of the sea beast, Luffy and Laki. Lu Tong ate with a mouth full of oil, turned around and stuck out his tongue at the angry village elder and made a grimace, "Don't! ”

"This meat is delicious, Magino, you can eat it too!" Luffy waved his hand at Magino, who was walking behind the village elder.

Magino smiled helplessly.

Such a big sea beast was eaten clean in such a banquet, and after the end of the scene, the villagers woke up like a dream, and when they saw the village chief with an unhappy face, they all slipped away in shame.

"I'm so happy...... Luffy held his bulging belly and tilted his head back to look at the skeletal black flag fluttering at the top of the ship's mast on the shore, "Shanks, what do you mean by 'treasure'?" ”

Shanks finished a glass of wine and smiled, "'Treasure'? Of course it is—"

"What the pirates want!!" The crew shouted in unison, laughing and laughing.

"Really......" Luffy's eyes began to glow, and then Jesus came over with a smoky wine, and he had good eyesight and found the pendant under Luffy's collar, "Luffy, what is this?" ”

"Huh this?" Luffy flipped out the snake pendant, "Grandpa said it was my dad who gave ......"

He scratched his head, "But an aunt used to say that it was given to me by a beautiful sister." But after I was sent here by my grandfather, I never saw that aunt again......"

"Wow~~" Jesus Bu and the others laughed, "It's a treasure given to you by someone else!" Then you should cherish it! ”

Luffy grinned and said, "yes." ”

Deputy Captain Beckman took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Captain, he has a similar treasure......"

"Huh? Does Shanks also have pendants? Luffy leaned under Shanks' neck to look at it, and Shanks pushed him away in disgust, "I don't have that kind of thing!" ”

He took off the straw hat on his head and stuck out his tongue: "This is it! ”

Luffy pouted, "Isn't it just a straw hat?" I've seen a lot of similar ones. ”

Shanks laughed, "I've seen a lot of similar ones of your pendants." ”

"That's right!" Luffy thought about it, suddenly realized, and asked curiously, "Who gave Shanks' straw hat?" ”

"Well...... Shanks looked at the straw hat in his hand, "it's a person I respect......"

"Captain! Captain! At this time, a crew member rushed over with a newspaper, "There is big news!" ”

Shanks took the newspaper, and the vice-captain, Rakhi. Lu and Jesusbu leaned over one after another, and soon they all smiled in surprise, "It's that kid...... Haha, why did he make headlines again! ”

Luffy's little head also popped up, he didn't look at the words, he only looked at the photos, and wondered, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"He's a great guy!"

Shanks happily pointed at Luffy's nose, "Much better than you!" ”

"Nonsense!" Luffy was angry and waved his arms, "I'm pretty good!" Grandpa trained me a lot......"

"Your grandfather?" Rakhi. The road gnawed on the bones.

Luffy nodded, "His name is ...... What's grandpa's name? In short, he was a sailor, and others seemed to call him a 'hero'......"

"Heroes?"

The same person appeared above the heads of the red-haired pirates, especially their captain red-haired Shanks, who remembered that naval hero who had been chasing them all over the world with a haunted face, and he stuck out his tongue with a bitter face: "You are the grandson of that old man!" Then he sneered, "Trained by him often, it seems that you are very pitiful!" ”

Luffy didn't even refute, his little face wrinkled, and he nodded with palpitations.
