The next day.

"Hahaha, what a drink!" Karp, who had regained his energy after only one night, jumped up from an unfamiliar bed and looked around suspiciously, "Where is this?" Bodega? You sent the old man back?"

Just as he was shouting at his loud voice, calling out to his deputy.

"It's me!"

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

Suddenly.

Karp seemed to remember something, turned his head directly, let out another laugh, and looked at Zefa who appeared behind him, "It's Zefa! Oh, by the way, the old man has arrived at the windmill village...... City, hahaha, I drank hard last night!"

Then he patted his old comrade-in-arms, Zefa, on the shoulder, and said with some regret, "It's a pity, the Warring States and the crane are not here, otherwise, it will be very lively!" And also...... Why is your face so ugly? Could it be that the wine has not woken up yet? I haven't seen you in a while, Zefa, you've gotten a little less drinking!"

「……」

Old man, wake up your uncle!

Looking at Karp, who hadn't remembered what happened last night, Zefa's face became even darker, and even his tone was a little gloomy, "Have you forgotten what happened in the bar last night?"

"Last night? Bar?" Hearing Zefa's inquiry, Karp frowned, seemed to think for a while, and then laughed and said, "Of course I haven't forgotten~, you must know that I never forget things when I drink!"

"So what? What have you done?"

"Drink! Have you forgotten?"

"Haven't forgotten, but what?"

"You mean dancing? Don't say it~, Magino's bar is really well decorated now, especially the lights, as well as the stereo, so that the old man can't help but go down to jump, move, and move his muscles!"

"It's not about dancing! What else?"

"And?" Looking at Zefa, whose face was getting darker and darker, Karp also frowned, scratched his head, and said, "What else? Could it be that the village chief said that Madara Uchiha, who danced better than the old man and ranked first......

"Who cares about your dancing! Your uncle~" Hearing that he was still pretending to be a lake in Kap, Zefa directly grabbed this guy's collar and roared angrily, "Do you know what stupid things you did yesterday? You drink and you drink, and you dance!

But you're still inviting the whole bar to drink, do you know how many people are in that bar now? I won't talk about you anymore~, what are you expensive and what are you ordering?!"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, "Do you know what you ordered? You can order whatever is expensive, and what kind of dragon set you order, don't you know that thing is hard to drink? Even the proprietress Magino came out to persuade herself! The most jerky is......

You guy ended up getting drunk without even paying, and Bodega said that your money was spent on the road and you couldn't pay a penny!"

"Aha~, is that so?" At this time, Karp, who seemed to have remembered something, also scratched his head a little embarrassed, "That one was too happy to drink, and he was too happy to drink for a while, and he forgot about it!"

"Forgot? Do you know who paid in the end? If the old man hadn't paid you, the news that the former naval heroes drank and didn't pay for it would have spread all over the sea, and it would be a shame!"

"Thank you, I really deserve to be a good comrade-in-arms of the old man for many years!" Karp looked at Zefa, who was still angry and tugging at his neck, and hurriedly snorted and said, "Magino is really good, the old man doesn't give the old man a discount when he comes to drink!" I'll talk about her anyway, I'm a regular customer there!"

"Alright, don't blow it! The proprietress Magino originally planned to give you a credit, but I heard from the village chief that the bar had just been renovated not long ago, and most of the wine in the hotel was on credit from the manufacturer, so you didn't need to open the store if you made it like this!"

Zefa directly loosened Karp's collar, and said angrily, "Pay attention next time you drink, don't start pretending again with no money, and ......" took out a stack of bills from his arms, "Just give me back the money!"

"Money? Oh, oh, the money, the old man won't owe you!" Karp nodded, glanced at the bill, looked at Zefa and said, "

It's just that Bodega didn't tell you that the old man has no money for the time being!"

"What about your salary over the years?"

"Do you think the old man looks like a person who can save money? Tell you......" Karp peeked around, cautiously leaning into Zefa's ear, "I suspect I've been targeted by Gen this time, maybe because I secretly threatened the logistics department to add donuts to the procurement of supplies!"

「……」

So?

Are you still proud?

Zefa's eyelids jumped, and he seemed to have a bad premonition in his heart, staring at Karp and saying, "Then my money ......."

"Also! Of course!" Seeing the suspicious eyes of his old friend, Karp immediately patted his chest and said, "How can the old man be the kind of person who owes money and doesn't pay it back?"

"Then my money......

"Speaking of which, how are your hands good Zefa? Isn't this an injury that even Vegapunk can't repair? It looks like your original hand, but I didn't expect this kind of technology to exist in this country of grass?"

"Indeed! It's no different from my original hand, and it's even more flexible, and by the way, my money ......."

"I almost forgot, I forgot to see that stinky boy last night! It's not too early, the old man will pass first." Karp rubbed his head and said with emotion, "To be honest, the old man is quite worried about that stinky boy! I'll talk about it later~"

"Then my money......

Before Zefa could finish speaking, Karp suddenly rushed straight to the door and ran away.

Until after the man ran away.

Zefa: ......

Still watching in silence.

This dog thing......

It still hasn't changed!

Still stinky boy? Still worried?

I didn't see you so worried yesterday!

Suddenly his face darkened, and he complained angrily, "Dog thing!"

……

And at this time.

The other side.

Karp, who was walking down the street, also looked around happily.

It looks a lot different here, but it feels familiar...... He could still feel it.

Windmill Village.

His hometown!

No, it's more of a windmill city now.

"Morning~, Karp, thank you for your drink last night, and you danced awesome last night!"

"Hahaha, let's have a drink together later."

Although it is a little different, it is still a familiar face and a familiar feeling to live here.

Along.

For those who said hello, Karp also replied one by one, just like he had come back, without the slightest sense of strangeness.

Then.

"Awake?"

"Oh, oh, it's Upp!" Karp looked at the head of the windmill village who was dressed in casual clothes, wearing sunglasses, and carrying his hands on his back, and said happily, "Is there something wrong?"

"You old guy was really in the limelight last night! If it weren't for Mr. Zefa, Magino would still have a headache!" After Upp Schrab said something angrily, he glanced up and down at Karp again, frowned, and said, "Looks like you're going to find Luffy's stinky boy!"

"Yes! I heard that the kid has changed quite a lot during this time, to be honest......" Karp nodded, laughed, scratched his head, and said, "I'm still quite worried!"

The words fell.

"Indeed, it's a big change! It's better for your grandfather to meet him!" Hearing Karp's words, Upu also nodded, and said with emotion, "That kid is more sensible now, and his work has become more diligent, but now even his dressing habits have changed, and the whole person looks ......."

After a slight pause, he sighed.

"It's full of energy!"
