"Magino~, I'm back!"

"At this time...... Already off work? Luffy~"

"You stinky boy!"

"No! I resigned! Hearing Magino's helpless voice and the village chief's words of hatred of iron and steel, Luffy didn't care, lowered the straw hat on his head that was very important to him, and after smiling and dodging the village chief's grandfather's crutches, he said with a smile, "I'm going to go to sea today!" ”

"Are you stinky boy still going to sea?" Although his crutches were dodged by this stinky boy, the head of Windmill Village didn't care, but said with a solemn face, "Have you forgotten the rules of the country of grass, no one can go to sea to be a pirate, and now that this place is starting to get better, there is no need to leave again~"

Ever since the country of grass came and the nobles of the Goa Kingdom were hanged, life here has been the same every day.

A real rejuvenation!

The scavengers who used to pick up trash at uncertain terminals now have a job of eating and living, and the bandits on the Corpo Mountains and the gangsters on the side of the border town have been cleared.

In addition to some of the most vicious bandits and hooligans who had committed human lives in their hands were executed, other bandits and hooligans who became bandits and hooligans because they were forced to live in desperation, and the country of grass also gave them a chance.

Let them carry out labor reform and ideological transformation!

Listening to the last time because of good performance, the Dadan family came to complain that it was very tiring to carry out labor reform inside, not only political reports, ideological reviews, but also criticism and self-criticism meetings, grass spirit study classes and labor reform perception meetings every once in a while......

Of course~

Although Dadan's family was full of complaints, it could be seen that they were still quite satisfied with their current life, drinking while complaining, and saying that Dadan's eldest sister had been praised by the top for her good performance, and everyone laughed very happily.

And in the end, he didn't pay on credit to Magino as usual?!

In front of everyone, this group of former thieves took out the reward they had received for their hard work, and paid for it by counting Bailey and Bailey.

Although they have been complaining about how their wages are so small, it can be seen that they ...... Those guys are still quite proud.

I've lived a personal life!

And now there is no need to worry about being oppressed by nobles, bandits and hooligans here, and there is no need to be afraid of being attacked by pirates again.

The village chief of Slap looked at Luffy and said in a serious tone, "Is it because you don't like logging work?" If you really can't do it, come to the windmill village to move bricks~, this side is also engaged in infrastructure, the village chief and I are quite familiar with the foreman, arrange a bricklayer for you? ”

"No need! Actually, I quite like the big pot rice in the lumberyard! The food over there was delicious~"

"Then why go to sea? Aren't you afraid of having your legs broken again? ”

"Because that's what I agreed with you!" Luffy looked at the village chief with a grin, then lowered his hat again, raised his head slightly, looked at the afternoon sun on the horizon, and said with a firm voice, "It's been so long, I should go to sea too!" ”

obviously told Ace about the time to go to sea, but it dragged on for so long, it is estimated that Ace can't wait for a long time!

And Shanks......

He said he would give him back the hat himself.

And then.

Become the King of the Pirates!

"Although that uncle is very strong, I will definitely defeat him in the future!"

The words fell.

“……”

Magino and the village chief looked at him helplessly and silently.

Of course~

So many years.

They also know this kid's character, and they will never give up so easily!

"Forget it! You stinky boy! Looks like I can't stop even the village chief! After slapping his hands behind his back and muttering in a low voice, he turned his head to look at the windmill village behind him that was under construction, "Anyway, I didn't hear the news that your stinky boy is going to sea just now, don't bother me!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his back to Luffy and walked towards the windmill village.

Leaving a helpless look on his face, Magino shook his head, "The village chief is really ......"

But he didn't finish speaking, he raised his head and looked at Luffy in front of him with a happy face, as if he remembered something, and said, "Then how are you going to go to sea this time?" The boat had sunk to the bottom of the sea! ”

The words fell.

"Huh~?"

Hearing Magino's words, Luffy also had a rather distressed expression on his face, as if he was pondering something.

But in the end, he looked at Magino with a grin, "I don't know!" ”

“……”

Before Magino, who was speechless because of his words, could speak.

I only heard Luffy's kid say again, "But as long as you go to sea!" ”

Then, as if he saw something, he ran straight to the place where Magino had placed the barrel.

Eyes light up instantly!

Then.

Without Luffy and saying anything, Magino had already guessed what this kid was going to do, so he covered his head helplessly, "Are you going to ......?"

The words are not finished.

"That's right! Magino, lend me this! ”

“……”

Is that really the case?

In the end, Magino, who couldn't resist this kid, could only agree to [lend] the barrel he used to hold wine to Luffy.

And after Luffy got the barrel, he didn't stop, and he didn't even prepare anything, so he carried the barrel to the dock on this side of the windmill village.

That's right, the same pier that day!

And it's this kid who goes to sea!

Merely.

This time, she was the only one to see off Luffy.

Look at the poke thrown into the water.

And then.

After Luffy, who also jumped on the water, twisted and twisted, and had a satisfied smile on his face, Magino hesitated for a moment, still a little worried. "Luffy~, or ...... Let's wait a few more days~, and see if we can find a ship? I always feel like it's dangerous? ”

"No! Magino, don't you think that's great? Luffy, who was standing steadily on the barrel, looked at Magino with a smile and said, "Ace, they must have been waiting for a long time, I'm going to sea!" ”

"Don't you say goodbye to everyone?"

"No need! It's already been said! Then I'm leaving~" Luffy shook his head, said with a grin, withdrew his hand holding the dock, turned his back to Magino, and took a deep breath.

And then.

Reluctantly raised his hands, soaked up the sun, and shouted, "One Piece! I'm decided! ”

As he spoke, he shrunk into the barrel and closed the lid with his hand.

Seeing that standing on the dock, Magino, who gave him away, shook his head helplessly.

This kid......

I haven't changed since I was a child!

"Isn't that right? Chief? ”

"This stinky boy! Thinking about being a pirate all day long is a shame for the village! The village chief, who appeared at some point, also stood by the dock, looked at the barrel drifting farther and farther away with the sea with emotion, and after a moment of silence, he said with emotion, "This time...... I guess I won't see this stinky boy come back! ”

After all, the Lord......

It seems that it has already gone to sea, and now it is not here!

……

Meanwhile.

The other side.

Somewhere near the island of the Grass Country of the Kingdom of Zenggoa.

"Hey, Leader Mang, Madara-sama, there's a wine barrel floating in front of you, as if there's something?"

A certain grass ninja on the boat just finished speaking.

A low, serious voice rang out, "What's that?" Forget it, catch it and take a look! ”

"Okay! Madara-sama! ”
