"Are you Ace's companions? Why are you so tall? ”

Countless windmill villagers surrounded Yamato and the others and asked curiously.

"Sleep well! Drink milk well! ”

Yamato smiled confidently at the villagers standing in front of her, with an average height of 1.7 meters.

"Can you really grow taller by drinking milk?"

A little boy who looked a little thin looked timidly at Yamato and the others and asked.

"Of course!"

Yamato was convinced of his answer, the reason why she could grow so tall and tall was that the milk must have come out on top, and it could be said that it was indispensable.

"It's ...... weird"

Whenever the issue of height is mentioned, Musashi feels a heart-wrenching pain, obviously she drinks milk on time every day, and even goes to the hut until she is lactose intolerant...... But it still didn't work, her height was harder than one meter six.

"Then big brother, how did you grow so tall?"

The little boy looked thoughtfully at Yamato, and then asked Katakuri, who had been silent.

"Huh?"

Katakuri listened to the questioning from his subordinates, staring at the boy below him with his blood-red eyes.

"Forehead ......"

The little boy was so frightened by the blood-red eyes that he trembled and couldn't say a word.

"Eat more donuts."

Katakuri stared at the boy for a few moments, and finally replied to the boy.

"Huh?"

Musashi, who was standing next to the boy and had been listening to the secret of growing taller with his ears pricked up, was outrageous when he heard Katakuri's answer.

Donuts, a high-calorie food, are simply the public enemy of people during the fat loss period, and it is also the enemy of the Great Demon King, in addition to making people fat, it also has the effect of increasing height, Musashi is the first time she has heard of it.

"I see! So if you want to grow taller, drink more milk and eat more donuts! ”

The boy finally had an epiphany, he finally understood the secret of growing taller, as long as he ate a donut with a glass of milk, he could grow taller.

"You're going to be fat."

Musashi glanced at the boy and concluded inwardly.

"Let's go to my tavern! Today's accounts are all on me. ”

Magino gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said to Ace, Yamato and the others.

"No, no, no! How could I get Sister Magino to invite me to dinner! I'm still homesick, and I should be invited to this meal today. ”

After listening to Magino's words, Ace hurriedly waved his hand, he had also made a lot of money in the two years he had lived in Zu'an, and it was his turn to behave today.

"Nope! At this time, of course, my sister has to pay for it. ”

Magino crossed her waist a little unpleasantly, and pretended to be angry and showed it to Ace.

"That's it! Come on! Let's go to the tavern for dinner first! Let's talk about who you want to treat at that time! ”

With a cigarette in his mouth, Dadan patted Ace's shoulder and urged everyone with some vagueness.

"Okay, then go first!"

"Yamato come here, I will let you see Sister Magino's craftsmanship in a while, it is really a world-class level."

Ace turned around and said to Yamato and the others.

"Eat?!"

"Let's go! I'm already hungry. ”

As soon as Yamato heard that he was about to eat, he immediately became energetic.

"I wonder what you all want to eat?"

Magino asked, as she led the group towards the tavern.

"I'm going to eat pork chop bowl!"

Yamato said loudly what he wanted to eat.

"I want pork chop rice too."

Lei Jiu, who didn't know what to eat, finally knew what to eat after listening to Yamato's words.

“OK~”

"What about you?"

Magino continued to ask the man behind Yamato.

"I'm going to have a steak, and preferably a bottle of red wine."

Mihawk thought about it for a moment and decided to eat his favorite food.

"Okay."

Magino stared at Mihawk for a moment, then nodded lightly at Mihawk, Magino always felt that Mihawk's temperament was very similar to that of a person.

"The old man can do it as long as it's a fish."

Jinping has never been a picky eater, but as a fish-man, he still loves to eat fish with high protein content.

"I want fish too! If I were a saury...... Of course, it would be even better if you could eat sea bream sashimi. ”

Musashi raised her hand, and she ate more than Zuan.

"I like to eat something sweet, preferably a doughnut."

Katakuri's choice of chestnut is still sweeter, a habit he has developed since childhood.

“OK~”

"Let's look forward to it, everyone!"

Magino smiled at everyone and gently rolled up her sleeves, she was ready to do a big job.

"You should also hurry home and do whatever you want!"

The village chief looked at Ace's gang who left with Magino, and dismissed the crowd around everyone, after all, everyone can't let go of their work just because Ace is back.

"Huh! We want to go to the tavern too! ”

Some villagers muttered dissatisfied.

"That's it! Come on! You'll go back tomorrow! The village chief glared at the villagers, and then whispered. Don't you see the sheer size of Ace's partner? It's like a ...... Ahem...... Do you know how much food Magino is going to cook next? Are you trying to exhaust Magino? ”

Katakuri, who had been following closely behind Magino and the others, moved his ears slightly, and he always felt that the village chief behind him was connotating him...... No! This is no longer the connotation, this is a scolding by name.

"That's it! Ace, let's go eat next! I'm leaving, too. ”

After everyone reached the door of the tavern, Dadan just blew the cigarette off her mouth, she threw the cigarette holder to the ground and stepped on it, and then patted Ace on the shoulder and said.

"Huh? Why? ”

Ace asked Dardan, puzzled.

"Nonsense! I'll have you all prepared for today's accommodation, right? And also...... There are still a bunch of silly boys waiting for the old lady to cook in the cottage! ”

Dadan slapped Ace on the back of the head, and then without waiting for Ace to reply, he waved his hand lightly and walked towards the cottage with several thieves.

"Jingle Bell~"

With a doorbell, Magino walked into the tavern with Yamato and the others.

The tavern is large, and the ceiling is so high that even Katakuri can stand comfortably in the middle of the room.

"Then please take a little rest here, and I'll prepare food for everyone."

Magino had already tied an apron to her slender waist at some point, she waved her fist at Ace and the others, and then walked into the back kitchen full of energy.

"Wow~ This tavern is a little old! This specialization style is so retro! ”

Yamato sat in the tavern and looked at the decoration inside the tavern and said softly.

"Probably older than me, anyway, for as long as I can remember, there has always been a tavern in town."

Ace heard Yamato's self-talk, so he casually accosted him.

"Oh!"

While Yamato was talking to Ace, Mihawk walked to the tavern's photo wall and saw a figure he was familiar with.

In the photo, a young man with bright red hair like a flame is holding a little boy who looks to be six or seven years old.

"I see......"

Mihawk looked at the photograph and finally understood something as he thought back to his memories from a long time ago.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between us...... In this way, the hat on the head of the imp who said he was going to be the king of the pirates was not similar to Shanks's, but the hat on Shanks's head itself. ”

Mihawk wrapped his left hand around his chest, his right arm rested on his left arm, and his right hand gently rubbed the beard on his chin, and he didn't understand the true identity of the imp who had been addicted to Yamato until now.

"So Shanks, is he the little imp you value?"

"If that's all there is, I can only say sorry to you, you can't win Yamato with that little ghost's words."

Mihawk muttered to himself at the picture of Shanks.

"Steak ~ saury ~ sea bream sashimi is ready."

Just as Mihawk stared at the photo in a daze.

Magino held up her plate and brought up all the quicker foods.

"Thank you~"

Musashi and Jinpei looked at the saury and sea bream sashimi in front of them, and saliva was already rolling in their mouths.

"Huh...... Do you know the person in the photo? ”

Magino smiled back at Musashi and Jinpei, and when she turned around, she happened to see Mihawk staring at the picture of Shanks and Luffy in contemplation.

"Hmmm......"

"Kind of acquaintance!"

Mihawk gave Magino a startled look, then frowned slightly.

"You're friends?"

"Shanks, he's such a good guy!"

Magino listened to Mihawk's words and suddenly became interested, and asked a few more questions.

"Friend!? How so? I know him and have a fight! At that time, I was struggling to find an opponent on the sea, and then I met him who could not find an opponent either...... We fought that battle for ten days and ten nights...... So the two of us should be more rivals than friends, but we haven't fought much since he lost an arm. “

Mihawk narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling his experience of meeting Shanks, and he and Shanks were probably the so-called no-fight no-acquaintance!

"Ten Days and Ten Nights ......"

Magino was a little surprised by the combat power between Mihawk and Shanks, although Mihawk only passed the battle between him and Shanks, but Magino could still guess how earth-shattering the battle was, she had always felt that Shanks was very strong, but she had no idea how strong Shanks was, and it was not until this moment that she understood the corner of the other party's strength.

"Come here's your steak~"

Magino shook her head slightly, shaking off all the things she didn't have, and then poured the steak onto the bar.

"Is it okay to be twenty years old in the Red Clay Manor?"

Magino then pulled out a long-cherished bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet behind the bar.

"Yes! Thank you. ”

Mihawk listened to Magino's words for a moment, then bowed his head slightly.

"I opened you~" Magino saw Mihawk nodding and gently pulled out the cork of the red wine. "Then you're drinking here now, and I'm going to prepare food for the others."

"Okay."

Mihawk sat down at the bar, picked up a knife and fork and gently slipped through the steak, and ate it in small bites.

"Gollum ......"

"Tons and tons of ......"

Mihawk felt that something was missing after taking a bite of the steak, so he picked up the red wine Magino handed him, poured it into his glass, and drank it in large gulps.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

"Hmmm! That's right! ”

Mihawk's eyes lit up as he felt the aroma of red wine mixed with the taste of beef, spreading in his mouth.

After a while...... Magino came to Yamato, Ace, and Lei Jiu with a bowl of golden pork chop rice, a pot of egg rice bowl, and a small bowl of golden pork chop rice.

Yamato and Ace eat according to the basin, which is the kind of basin that ordinary people use to wash their faces, and only Lei Jiu is a normal person's meal.

"This is the rice for the three of you, and it took a little longer to steam the rice, so it was late."

Magino wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, her face was slightly red at this time, it was also a challenge for her to make so much food at once, but she couldn't stop and rest yet, because there was an even bigger challenge waiting for her.

"Your doughnut because I need freshly mixed cream and jam, so I'll have to wait a minute."

Magino looked at Katakuri's size, and thought to himself that this kid would probably have to eat half a ton of noodles.

"I'm not in a hurry."

Katakuri nodded at Magino, who was also a doughnut maker and understood how difficult a doughnut food to make was.

"Okay."

Magino smiled sweetly at Katakuri and turned back to the somewhat stuffy kitchen once more.

An hour later.

Magino, who was dragging a cart full of doughnuts, came to Katakuri's side.

"Whew~Whew~ It's finally done!"

At this time, Magino was already exhausted and almost collapsed.

"Sister Magino, take a break! I'll give you a massage! ”

Ace, who was already full, hurriedly pulled Magino aside and thumped Magino's back.

"Ace, you've grown up~"

Magino felt Ace's skillful technique and closed her eyes in enjoyment.

"I'm going to wash the dishes."

Mihawk also stood up at this time, took away everyone's finished rice bowls, and walked towards the kitchen.

"No, you don't! No! I'll just come. ”

Magino looked at Mihawk as he walked towards the kitchen, and quickly stood up.

"Sister Magino, just take a break! Leave it to us! ”

Ace hurriedly held Magino down, he couldn't let his sister be tired anymore.

"Haha! Then I'll take a little rest. ”

Magino smiled at Ace, then didn't say more, and sat obediently in her seat, enjoying Ace's massage.

"Hmmm! I've decided! Magino, join my pirate ship! ”

Yamato, who had not spoken all this time, spoke to Magino as if he had made up his mind.

"I refuse!"

Then Marquino smiled and refused.

"Huh? Why? Why are you rejecting me?! ”

Yamato opened his mouth slightly, unable to believe that she had been rejected again.

"Because I'm going to open a tavern here! If I leave, the villagers of Windmill Village will be very sad. ”

Magino had a smile on her face, and while it sounded incredible, it was the reason why she kept running the tavern.

"Ah...... Truly! It's a nerve-wracking thing, so Ace should stay and open the tavern instead of Magino! ”

Yamato thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

"Ahh That's a great idea! That's weird!! Why am I the one who stayed? ”

Ace nodded lightly at Yamato, who praised Yamato's intelligence.

"Because you're the weakest!"

Musashi interjected at this point.

"Forehead ......"

Ace felt a critical blow to his heart.
