At this time.
Luffy is the only person in the whole bar who is leaning on a cane; he is not very tall; his face is pale and pale, and tight bandages can be seen between his legs; he wears an extremely simple-looking straw hat on his head and walks inside with a cane in both hands.
As soon as they arrived at the store, all the drinkers stopped, looked at him and smiled, and some shouted, "Luffy, your legs were interrupted again?"
He didn't answer, but said to the Makino boss's wife, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!" As he said that, he drained out the only 900 beli left by the casual workers during this period.
They shouted loudly and deliberately, "You must have secretly gone to sea again and someone broke your legs!"
Luffy opened his eyes wide and said, "Why do you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air..."
"What innocence? I saw you being carried back by the village chief the day before yesterday, with bandages all over your body."
Luffy then blushed, with anger and embarrassment on his face, and argued, "Going to sea cannot be considered stealing... going to sea!... Can being a pirate be considered stealing to go to sea?"
There were words that were difficult to understand one after another, such as "Pirate King's man!", "I'm determined!" and the like, which made everyone burst into laughter.
The atmosphere inside and outside the store is full of joy!
"Luffy You are serious too! Otherwise... give up!" Makino placed the food prepared in the store in front of Luffy, and shook his head helplessly, "I believe your grandpa will be very happy if he knows about it!"
"No! I won't give up! I want to be Pirate King's man!" Luffy was eating big while showing his white teeth and looking at Nojiko with a cheerful smile. "This is a promise! And..." He raised his right hand and patted the muscles of his right hand with his left hand, "I have no problem!"
The words fell.
"..."
Makino glanced at the legs that were still stretched out, and didn't know what to say. He could only helplessly shake his head again.
She knows...
There is no way this kid would give up so easily.
After all, this is the agreement he has made with Ace, Sabo, and Shanks since he was a child!
Especially that straw hat...
In response to this, Garp was so angry that he wanted to send Shanks to prison!
only.
"What are you going to do next? Land of Grass won't just let you go out to sea and become a pirate!"
"What should I do?" After hearing Makino's words, Luffy stopped talking, tilted his neck and seemed to have a hard time thinking for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile, "I plan to continue working in the lumber camp, because there is no place to eat! Then..."
His eyes were firm, and his originally playful temperament suddenly changed. He lowered his straw hat and took on a serious tone.
"My cultivation must not be enough. Next, I will practice seriously and find a way to defeat that guy before I go to sea! After all..."
Take a deep breath.
"I want to be Pirate King's man!"
"Hahaha..."
With that said, everyone in the bar laughed again.
"Defeat Lord Madara? That is Land of Grass, a very powerful expert! Even Great Pirate, who has tens of millions, is no match for him! Luffy, just keep moving bricks! Your ability may be very useful for moving bricks!"
Even Smoker in the corner shook his head helplessly after hearing what this kid said. Perhaps for these guys, being able to defeat tens of millions of Great Pirate is already very powerful.
But only he knows... how powerful the man named Madara Uchiha is. If he can be defeated... maybe Grand Line won't be able to stop this kid in the first half!
only.
Just when everyone was laughing.
Dadan Family did not smile. They knew in their hearts how much Luffy valued the agreement between the three of them. No matter what... no matter how late it was, Luffy would still go to sea.
One of the young bandits seemed to have thought of something, "If you want to become stronger, Luffy can join Literacy Class. I heard that you will not only teach you literacy, but also make you stronger! Sister Kali, why did you hit me?"
"Shut up! When you say this here, do you think you haven't learned enough to reflect on your thoughts?" Kali Dadan punched his little brother on the head, then looked at Luffy and hesitated, "How about... it's better not to go to sea, Luffy! Land of Grass may be stronger than you think!"
"I want to be Pirate King's man!" Hearing Cali's words, Luffy pressed his hat and said with a smile, "Dadan, you know, I won't give up so easily!"
The words fell.
"..."
Dadan looked at the kid who was smiling happily, but his tone was extremely firm.
As a nanny who watched these three children grow up...
After Garp left the child to her, she had been watching over it, so of course she knew the character of these three brats.
Luffy... has grown up too!
He smiled happily and helplessly, and shook his head, "That's right!" He looked at Luffy again, "Literacy Class, that's what we heard about. We haven't started yet, but we did hear that you can become stronger inside, but it's just a matter of emotion. We don't know what's going on, but..." He glanced at Luffy's legs and sighed, "I hope you'll pay attention, I don't want to see you in the labor camp then, Luffy!"
"Labor camp?"
"Stop asking so many questions!"
"I know! Well~, then I will go to work first!" Luffy nodded with a smile, then looked forward with expectation in his eyes, showing his white teeth again, "I will definitely go to sea! No matter how late... I will go to sea!"
As he spoke, he seemed to see something, his eyes fell straight on the table in the corner, and he said happily, "Huh? Is it you? The strange smoking uncle? You were the one who lent that weird weapon to that guy yesterday!"
"..."
What is this name?
Smoker raised his eyelids and was about to raise his ten hands to let this kid who didn't know the heights of the world and just wanted to be a pirate take a good look at the dangers of the sea.
But he saw the kid who was not coming over, but stretched out his hands, crossed his legs, and jumped over [with difficulty]. Coupled with the kid's cheerful smile, he sighed helplessly and slowly took away his ten hands.
Forget it, this kid can't get out of the sea without him anyway.
He looked at Luffy in front of him calmly, "Kid! What do you want to do?"
"No! I just want to tell you... I will definitely go to sea!" Facing Smoker's question, Luffy was not afraid. She still looked at him with a smile and lowered her hat, "Pirate King! I'm determined!"
This is an agreement with everyone!
He pressed his straw hat gently.
[Sorry, Shanks... the hat may have to be returned to you later!]
The words just fell.
Smoker:...
He slightly picked up his ten hands again and looked at the kid in front of him silently.
Dare you say in front of him, a navy, that you want to be a pirate?
Sure enough, it's just like what Madara Uchiha said, this kid... just needs to be dealt with!
And at this time.
other side.
New World Somewhere in the sea.
"Yawn!"
"Shanks, don't sneeze on me!"
Looking at the Red-Haired young man who didn't care at all and laughed loudly on his face, Mihawk, who had short black hair and sharp yellow eyes like an eagle, was speechless for a while, and then said lightly, "Tell me! Why did you come to me?"
