"Hahaha, I just came to you for a drink!" Faced with the impatient tone of his old friend, Captain Red-Haired Pirates - Shanks didn't care. He still looked cheerful and took the red wine on Mihawk's table very casually. After drinking it down, he frowned slightly and said, "I heard that you are going to the East China Sea in a while?"
"Hmm~" After hearing Shanks's words, Mihawk frowned slightly, then lowered his head and glanced at Shanks.
Especially looking at his empty left sleeve, how could he still not know what this guy was looking for?
When this guy came back from the East China Sea, he not only lost one of his arms, but also lost his favorite hat. He was very shocked at the time.
After all, the weakest sea... who could hurt him like this at that time?
Even though Shanks had not become Four Emperors back then, still not just anyone could cause him to be so seriously injured.
And lost his most important straw hat?
After replying flatly "Hmm", Hawkeye lowered his head and looked at the newspaper in his hand, and said flatly, "I'm bored, so I'm going to take a look! And you guys... If you don't like it, don't waste my wine!"
"It seems that the changes in the East China Sea have also interested you."
"I'm just bored!" Seeing that this guy ignored his words and continued to waste his wine, Hawkeye frowned helplessly and closed the newspaper in his hand. "By the way, I'm going to see if I can meet the kid who broke off one of your hands and voluntarily gave away his hat!"
"Hahaha, Luffy?" Hearing Hawkeye talking about Luffy, Shanks seemed particularly happy and laughed again, "That kid will definitely surprise you! I have always believed that he will become a great pirate!"
"Really? But the day you mentioned to go to sea should have arrived!" Eagle Eye ignored Shanks's boastful words.
Every time I talk about that kid, this guy will be very happy.
Because of this, he was a little interested in the kid who had not yet gone to sea, but was so recognized by Shanks!
"But there hasn't been any big incident in the East China Sea during this period. On the contrary, the sudden appearance of Land of Grass hanged many pirates to death!"
"Hahaha, you guys don't doubt that Luffy was also hanged!" After hearing what Hawkeye said, Shanks seemed to have heard something very interesting, laughing and patting his thigh.
I don't know how long it took, but he seemed to have calmed down, and with a calm and confident smile, he said, "That guy is not stopped so easily!"
"I hope so! But aren't you worried about Kingdom of Goa? Didn't you say you have many friends in Kingdom of Goa?"
"The old guy isn't nervous, why should I be nervous?" Shanks shook his head indifferently, but after saying something that made Mihawk a little confused, he stopped talking about this topic.
Then, still with a faint smile, he raised the empty wine glass in his hand and said, "That kid will definitely surprise you then!"
As he said that, he ignored Hawkeye who was a little angry because he had ruined his wine. He raised his head slightly and looked into the distance with his eyes, as if full of expectation.
"He is not a peaceful boy! Just like the captain back then, maybe it won't be long before we hear about what big incident he caused that shocked the sea!"
Do you still remember the agreement we made back then?
Luffy, now you must have gone to sea, looking for a group of friends of your own, and start your own adventure!
I'm waiting for you at New World!
His eyes were looking forward to the distance... looking closely into the distance.
Finally...
The expectation in his eyes seemed to have drifted across the sea, as if it had landed on a kid on crutches, wearing a straw hat, and with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
As if he felt something, he held the crutch tightly with both hands and stood firmly on the shore, looking at the vast sea in front of him with determination in his eyes, "I! I will definitely become the man of Pirate King!"
Wait for me, Shanks!
And Ace!
I will definitely go to sea.
However.
The words just fell.
A worker hurried over. When he saw the figure standing alone on the sea, looking into the wind, his face suddenly showed a happy expression, "Luffy, so you are here! Hurry up, the foreman is calling you to cut down the trees!"
"Okay, I'm here~"
"Hurry up, work has already started, and your injury... do you really not need to let the doctor take a look?"
"No! I just want to have a big meal later!"
As he spoke, Straw Hat Kid seemed to have forgotten his firmness just now, and walked towards the lumberyard happily on crutches.
other side.
After the anti-corruption storm of Shells Town ended, Land of Grass also took over Shells Town.
And after the big tiger Shells Town - Colonel Morgan was beaten, this small town that had been plundered for a long time and under high-pressure rule gradually resumed production and life.
And under Land of Grass's various policies such as work-for-relief, poverty alleviation, and expansion of construction, Shells Town is now gradually becoming more lively.
at this time.
Shells Town Pier is also bustling.
Because after the key construction plan of Cocoyasi Village was established, a group of workers were going there to assist in the construction of the first phase of the Cocoyasi Village project.
After all, the geographical location of Cocoyasi Village is extremely important, and at the same time, there are not enough villagers near Orange Island. In order to speed up the construction, some labor force can only be transported from nearby islands.
"Get on the boat! Get on the boat quickly! The boat is about to sail!"
"Don't worry, I said food and accommodation will be provided there, and food and accommodation will be provided! I will never lie to you. Everyone must believe Land of Grass."
"Hurry, there's not enough time, there's Zoro! Which way did you turn? I'm shouting here, where are you going? Come here quickly!"
"..."
As if he heard someone calling him, a Moss Head swordsman who was turning to the right stopped immediately, turned back stiffly, and shouted with an impatient tone, "I know! I just... want to buy something! Are you a bother, foreman?"
"Didn't you say you want to save money to buy a sword? What else do you want to buy? Really, they said wood planers don't use swords!" The man called the foreman still shouted impatiently, "Come up here quickly!"
"I'm a swordsman! Not a wood planer!" Under the urging of the foreman, Zoro impatiently walked up to the ship. "The dream is to become World's Greatest Swordsman!"
"I know, I know! Don't wait any longer. You must know that among all the wood planers here, you are the one I value the most.
I heard that Kingdom of Goa has a very powerful lumberjack over there, who can cut down many trees at once. You are the ace of our team, don't let that guy compare you to you! "
The foreman didn't seem to care about Zoro's big words, and still said cheerfully, "And this time I heard that Land of Grass's first gold medal engineering team will also go. Then you have to study hard with the seniors. If you perform well, then Literacy Class I will find a place for you. As long as you study hard, you will definitely become Land of Grass High-Level Technician Talent!"
"I told you I'm a swordsman~"
"Okay! Okay! Now I'm going to make some arrangements for the work. The ship has sailed, so don't run around. The wood planer's dormitory is over there."
"... I told you I'm a swordsman!"
Zoro looked at the foreman's leaving figure with a dark expression on his face. After he disappeared, he sighed and looked at the vast sea in front of him.
After bidding farewell to his master, he became a bounty hunter on the sea, fighting pirates to hone his sword skills.
As for why you came to be a wood planer?
It has to start with when he was detained by the navy here for a month because he saved a little girl. Finally, he was accidentally rescued.
At that time, a group of people wearing strange green clothes broke in and immediately helped him untie him. They also said that he had been cleared of his grievances. The local big tiger was arrested after the incident and he was free!
Although he was confused about what happened, since it was okay, he left.
But when I was about to continue going to sea as a pirate hunter, I discovered...
There are no more pirates in the East China Sea!
I heard that it was also cleaned up by that Land of Grass. Therefore, the pirates could not be found. In order to fill his stomach, he could only find a job to make a living temporarily.
There is no way, I am forced to make a living...
As a result... he was sent to this island again!
But not to mention that as a skilled person, his salary here is quite good.
only.
He still hasn't forgotten the promise he made back then...
Zoro looked at the sea in front of him with firm eyes, his right hand tightly holding a white long sword at his waist, and murmured to himself, "Become World's Greatest Swordsman!"
The words just fell.
"Gugu——"
A sound like drumming sounded.
Zoro came to his senses, lowered his head subconsciously, and then touched his belly, "Forget it, let's eat first!"
As he said that, he raised his head and looked around again.
"Didn't you say that food and accommodation are included on the ship? I don't know if food has been served?"
