A mere Devil Fruit is not enough to distress the red-haired pirates, but in this way, Luffy's proud swimming skills are considered to be useless.

Shanks still cares a lot about this - he used to have a friend who is a super good swimmer, and it was because of him that he swallowed a Devil Fruit, and he always looked at him unpleasantly......

But now that the wood is complete, Luffy has become a rubber man.

But Luffy recovered faster than Shanks imagined, because he "couldn't swim", and a few days after being sad, Luffy was "resurrected with full blood" again.

The windmill village also had a more festive atmosphere at this time, and the New Year of 1509 was coming, and on the day of the New Year, the red-haired pirates held a New Year's Eve banquet without surprise.

Luffy, as a "supernumerary banquet member", naturally came to attend on time.

And because it was the New Year, this time Shanks and Magino also made an exception and did not urge him to go back to sleep, and specially wrapped a red envelope to tease the little brat.

Probably because he can't swim anymore, Luffy hasn't been yelling about being a pirate in the last few days.

At this time, Shanks did not feel disappointed or anything, but was a lot more relaxed because he was no longer pestered by Luffy to "take him to the sea".

At the New Year's banquet, Luffy was still bold and secretly drank a few sips of wine, but was taught a lesson by Magino, and even Shanks, who was "unfavorably guarded", was reprimanded aside to punish him.

Shanks, whose faces were full of helplessness, and Luffy, whose faces were flushed, stood in the corner...... After looking at each other, they laughed at each other.

Shanks then asked, half-mockingly, "That's right, the little ghost who can't swim, can't you fulfill your previous wish...... Do you want to change it? ”

Luffy pouted when he heard this, "Who said that...... Who said my dream had to be a pirate? My dream ...... My dream ......"

"Are you making it up?" Shanks keenly caught Luffy's wandering eyes.

"Not really! My dream is...... It's going to be a big banquet where everyone in the world is coming! Luffy looked at the red-haired group at the banquet and suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

Maybe when he said it, it was really made up, but after saying it, Luffy's childish eyes had a firm longing.

Ziggy, who didn't pay much attention to the punishment duo, also looked at it at this time, because even if Ziggy didn't let go of his domineering appearance, Shanks's agitated emotions at this time had already irrepressibly impacted Zigge.

Looking at the grinning Luffy, Shanks' eyes fluttered......

"Captain......" Shanks moved his lips silently.

Zig walked over at this time, pressed Luffy's dog head and said, "Little ghost, do you know how difficult it is to have a banquet with people from all over the world?" ”

"Humph! I have a plan, the first step is to find the treasure of One Piece, the second step is to buy the world's wine and meat, and the third step is to have a banquet! Luffy said very plannerily.

"Hey, Luffy." Shanks called out to him.

Luffy looked at it in some surprise, and always felt that Shanks was a little different from the previous seriousness at this time.

"You know what? If you find the treasure of One Piece...... That's the new One Piece. Shanks reminded.

"Huh? Is that so? In other words, much better than Shanks? Luffy tilted his head.

"Yes, a lot." Shanks said firmly.

Sure enough, Ziggy discovered that Shanks was deliberately guiding Luffy.

It's completely different from the attitude of just looking at "energetic children" in the past!

"Luffy." Ziggy also called him, and Luffy turned his head and looked at the "very strong boxer" in the red-haired group suspiciously.

"Your first two steps are simpler, but people from all over the world attend banquets, and you don't have to pay for them." Ziggy reminded.

Shanks looked at this scene with a smile, and didn't think that Ziggy could explain the deeper issues to Luffy, and sometimes...... Such a pure person doesn't need to think about it so much.

"Huh? Could anyone not even come to the banquet? Luffy wondered.

"Yes, some people...... I just like to be able to have a banquet by myself, and when I see that everyone can have a banquet, I feel uncomfortable...... After all, they were all having banquets, and no one was coming to be a waiter. Ziggy said as a matter of course.

"Huh? Do you have to have a waiter at a banquet? Luffy's face was full of incomprehension.

"Hey, Ziggy, you're too serious." Shanks came over and punched Ziggy in the chest.

However, Ziggy did not follow Shanks's words and was diverted from the subject, but continued: "But I have a good way to get everyone to sit down and have a banquet together!" ”

"Tell me, tell me!" Luffy hurriedly asked curiously.

Shanks also looked at Ziggy in surprise and uneasy, always feeling that this guy didn't mean to say anything good.

"It's very simple, just ...... all the guys who don't want to come to the banquet," Ziggy said, gently locking the throat of the "petite" captain, then stretched out his thumb and made a "wipe" motion on his neck, and continued: "Kill it!" All the rest of the people can have a banquet together! Hahaha......"

"Huh?" Luffy's face turned pale.

Shanks also bumped Ziggy with his elbow at this time: "Really, don't say such terrible things to children!" ”

"It's just a banquet...... Does it need to be done to this extent? Luffy looked distressed.

"No, no, no, Luffy, if it's a really happy banquet, it's something that everyone can't refuse...... Happiness is the key to inviting everyone to the banquet! Shanks encouraged Luffy.

"Yes!" Luffy is also obviously more receptive to this statement.

Holding a banquet attended by people from all over the world - this sentence was imprinted in Luffy's heart.

It also inspired Shanks to reminisce from the depths of his heart......

Whitebeard once asked Captain Roger what he would do after finding Ralph Drew's treasure, and Roger's answer was the same - the happiest banquet ever attended by the whole world!

Of course, Roger, who was already a big man at the time, was naturally laughed at by Whitebeard when he said such a thing.

And now Shanks heard exactly the same words in the mouth of a child, and the deep memories in his heart were completely stimulated.

Twelve years ago, Roger, who "came early", failed to hold this banquet, and after turning himself in, he was executed in the town of Rogge in the East China Sea.

But looking at Luffy now, Shanks seems to see the big banquet that will be held later, as if he has seen the smiling face of Captain Roger......

Especially Shanks, who had just held a "very failed" banquet, felt more and more deeply about this!

Ziggy pouted disdainfully, a guy who had just held a "very failed" banquet was still teaching others how to hold a banquet......
