My name is Luffy.
I want to be the man of Pirate King!
Luffy leaned on crutches with both hands and curiously lined up with the group of guys in front of him.
That's right!
He's here to eat!
Once injured, his body will be very hungry, but as long as he has meat to eat, he can recover no matter how severe the injury is!
After eating almost all of Windmill Village's food and taking a deep sleep, Luffy's injuries had basically recovered except for his legs.
I originally wanted to go hunting in the forest with a cane, but when I was almost at Terminal of the Uncertain, I heard a radio saying that there was free food here.
Suddenly.
There is no doubt about it.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and what's more, he heard the village chief say yesterday that the uncertainty was gone.
So here comes this curious teenager on crutches!
only.
When this strong young man walked in with a cane even though his legs were lame.
Instantly attracted everyone's attention~
With that young face and those tenacious hands holding a cane, even the scavengers who lived a hard life were all impressed by this young man.
Although their lives were bleak, they didn't expect that there were children who were even worse off than them, but still didn't give up hope!
For a while.
The entire registry fell silent.
They all looked sideways at this young man who appeared to be physically disabled and strong-willed, but secretly he was Third Hokage, a high-ranking navy man.
Some scavengers were even silent, and then, with pity on their faces, they made way for the young man.
Of course~
After Grass Ninja saw it, they immediately made arrangements and directly opened a green channel for this young man who insisted on using crutches to register and was obviously in difficulty.
soon.
I don't know why everyone is looking at me, but Luffy, who looked confused, also started to register.
"Name?"
"Luffy! My name is Luffy!"
"Where are your parents?"
"I don't know!"
"Age?"
"17!"
"You're only 17 years old!" Grass Ninja looked at the boy in front of him with emotion. He was so young, but his legs were bent like this, as if they were rubber, stretched out. At a glance, you could tell... they were deformed.
It is estimated that it will be quite difficult to recover.
And I don't know my parents yet... I can tell he's an orphan at a glance!
Even if there is a chance for treatment, the high medical expenses are not affordable for ordinary people!
He shook his head regretfully and remained silent for a while, "In your case... why are you here alone?"
Haven't we already arranged for people to come to help people who have difficulties register?
"I heard that as long as you work here, you can eat for free." Luffy didn't seem to understand what the person in charge of registration meant, and his mouth suddenly grinned, showing his white teeth and a happy smile, "Hehehe, so I'm here!"
The words fell.
Suddenly.
This expression.
This smile.
Not to mention Grass Ninja, who was in charge of registration in front of me, even the people nearby were all infected by this cheerful young man!
In order to eat, this young man... even if he can't walk, he still comes to work with a cane!
Isn't this touching?
What a sunny child!
Even though his fate was unfortunate and the world was difficult, he still did not give up hope of survival!
Registration Grass Ninja wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then looked at the child's feet with regret, his face looking a little entangled and hesitant.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth and showed a slightly kinder smile, "Child! In fact, people like you who have difficulties don't need to work. Land of Grass will provide help. I can also help you apply for a subsidy. I believe there will be no problem in having enough food!"
The words fell.
Luffy seemed a little surprised and blinked his eyes, then showed an innocent and happy smile, "Sure enough, as the village chief grandpa said, the people in Land of Grass are all good people!"
As long as he can feed everyone, he is a good person!
but.
He held the crutches between his hands, slightly bent his left hand, clenched his fist, patted his left arm with his right hand, made a confident gesture, and said with a smile, "No need, I'm very powerful, no matter what I do, I can do it!"
The words just fell.
"!!!"
Everyone's eyes were moved again, and they stared closely at the young man with a smile that seemed to be contagious.
Look! Look!
This... what an optimistic young man!
Even if he suffers a great disaster, he still believes that there are good people in this world, and he still insists on using his own hands to support himself, full of hope for the future!
Just when everyone was moved by it.
The optimistic young man in front of me said with a smile on his face, "But I can't do it for too long, after all, I..." He lowered his hat and said in a serious tone, "I still have an agreement with someone else!"
No one can stop him from going to sea, not even the guy who... broke his legs.
He wants to become Pirate King's man!
And sooner or later, he will defeat that uncle.
He will definitely go to sea!
Looking at the good man in front of him, Luffy raised his head again and said with a smile, "Can you eat? I'm already hungry!"
"Are you hungry already?" Upon hearing the child's simple words, the registrant Grass Ninja sighed inwardly again. He didn't know how long the child had been hungry.
Then another smile appeared on his face, and he handed the registered note to Luffy, "You can go to eat now, just go there and eat!" Pointing to a distance, "Don't worry, you can eat as much as you want, as long as you are full!"
"Really? That's great! Can I go now?"
"..." For some reason, when he heard this sentence, registration Grass Ninja suddenly trembled and had a bad feeling, but he still nodded with a smile, "Go! Go! Be careful!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands and looked at the limping child walking towards the canteen with a cane in both hands.
At this moment.
Even the other Grass Ninja and the scavengers who were registering looked on in silence and emotion.
That strong figure!
What a good kid!
Even if my legs are lame, I still want to support myself with my own hands, and I know that I may not be able to do well, and I have told him in advance that I will not be able to do it for a long time.
The body is disabled but the mind is strong!
After experiencing a tragic experience, this child never gave up hope!
The entire registration venue fell silent. Everyone looked at the figure that was getting away with a heavy heart. A strange feeling seemed to well up in their hearts, and their eyes gradually became firmer.
Even people like this haven't given up. What qualifications do they have to give up?
There was even Lord Hanzō who was quietly observing this scene not far away, with emotion and relief in his eyes, "Did you never expect that there is such an outstanding child in this world?"
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Kusana, whose face was full of complexity and he hesitated to speak, and was slightly surprised.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Forget it, it's nothing~"
"It's weird! Didn't you say you should choose a role model to inspire everyone? Even if you are in trouble, you still have hope! I think this child is very suitable!"
"..."
Even though you are in a difficult situation, you still have hope!
