"..."
What's going on?
Although I felt that everyone's eyes were weird, but soon... Luffy didn't care anymore.
I even think this is pretty good.
After all, just now, the chef uncle... specially filled his big rice bowl with two tablespoons!
For him...
It would be nice to be able to eat it!
At this time.
The workers, who were filled with emotion, once again looked at Luffy who was devouring food like a starving ghost reincarnated. At this moment, they no longer laughed at the child.
"By the way, Luffy, why didn't you go to the employee commendation meeting a few days ago? You must know that your grandfather came back specially!"
"What a touching scene!"
"But you kid didn't go!"
Facing the worker's inquiry, Luffy, who was planning rice, also stopped, raised his head slightly, looked at the worker in front of him, and said, "Where are you going to do what? There is no food to eat, and I have to train!"
You know...
He wants to become Pirate King's man!
What are you going to do at that staff meeting?
"Only after defeating those two uncles can I go to sea!"
"You kid... what are you talking about? What's the benefit of going to sea? And if you go to the staff meeting... you can get a big bonus!"
"That's right! Even if you don't talk about the bonus, what a glorious thing it is! You must know that His Majesty the King came out to present the award in person!"
"And your grandpa went to the event especially for you, but you didn't go? Don't you want to see your grandpa whom you haven't seen for a long time?"
"Grandpa? What's there to do with him?" Luffy raised his head again, looked at his coworker, tilted his head in confusion, and said, "And that old man beats me every time we meet!"
As he said that, he lowered his head and started cooking.
"It also hurt me very much!"
This scene...
All the workers fell silent again, remembering what happened in the newspaper, and their eyes turned red again.
It turns out it's because of the family!
"Luffy, don't resent your grandpa! It was because of you that your grandpa had no choice but to let go of your young self and go out to work overseas!"
The foreman sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's not that he doesn't love you, he just doesn't have a choice! If he had a choice, who would want to go to sea when the sea is so dangerous? From your grandpa's special trip back this time, I know that your grandpa still loves you! Don't hate him~"
The words fell.
"???"
Luffy raised his head in confusion again, looked at the foreman in front of him, and said doubtfully, "I don't hate grandpa!"
Why does he hate his grandfather?
But...
These words were directly regarded by everyone present as a good face for the young man.
"If you have a holiday in a few days, let's go home and take a look!"
"No time! I still have to train! Everyone is waiting for me!"
"Although we are very aware that you are worried about your eldest brother, we don't blame your grandpa for what happened back then. Your grandpa was so far away and there was no time to stop him!" The foreman patted Luffy on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't resent your grandpa because of what happened to your eldest brother and second brother!"
"That's right! It's all the fault of the king and nobles of Kingdom of Goa. They forced your eldest brother and second brother to go to sea!"
"Now that life is getting better, Luffy, there is no need for you to go to sea. Although I know that you went to sea to find your eldest brother, but it has been so long, and I guess your eldest brother also... hey~"
"Only by living a happy life can I be worthy of the eldest brother and the second brother who left you the hope of living and resolutely went to sea!"
"..."
So, what are these guys talking about?
He doesn't hate grandpa!
Also, Ace and Sabo went to sea to pursue freedom. This was their agreement!
And he went to sea not to find Ace, but to become Pirate King!
Luffy blinked, his mouth was covered with rice grains, making him look stunned, but...
"It's so noisy! I just want to have a good meal!" Luffy raised his hands in displeasure and shouted loudly.
Then when he saw the workers who wanted to say something else, they hugged their big rice pails and ran towards the back.
These guys are really noisy!
The workers who saw this scene... were silent for a moment, and did not stop him. Instead, they looked at the lonely figure and shook their heads with emotion.
"Luffy is this kid! I know that although he looks like he is smiling all day long, he has very high self-esteem inside!"
"I still can't get over the hurdle in my heart!"
"I can't help it. After all, I have encountered so many things at such a young age!"
"Let this child be alone! I guess he will figure it out later. It's his grandfather after all!"
"This kid is really just saying it when he feels uncomfortable, and he is holding his rice bucket and pretending to be too noisy that he can't even eat!"
"Young people just love face!"
All the workers sighed with emotion and shook their heads, but after some discussion, they decided to let the child Luffy be quiet for a while, and we would talk about the rest later.
Then the chat started again.
"By the way, by the way, the place where Luffy ran just now... isn't that the construction site?"
"Which one?"
"That's it! I heard that a very outstanding young worker from the other side came for an interview today!"
"I heard that too, which one is the one who uses the knife to plan the wood?"
"That's right, you know... his wood planing skills, even a master who has been working for fifty years would be ashamed!"
"It seems that Luffy has an enemy! I don't know who between Luffy and him will win the title of fighting king and create the next part-time job myth?"
"One Sword Style·Wood Shaving Slash!"
Followed by a cold voice.
Suddenly, under the gaze of everyone, a thick log in front of them was lifted into the air by a small knife in the hand of the green-haired young man in front of them, and then before everyone could react.
Sharp sword lights flashed past.
Cold light radiates!
In the blink of an eye...
As if nothing happened, the log was still intact and fell heavily to the ground, but just as it hit the ground...
"Da da da~"
Sawdust is flying!
The logs that were supposed to be intact suddenly fell apart and became a pile...
"Not only are these wooden cubes divided into perfect equal parts, they are also polished!"
"What a superb wood planing skill! You can do it with just a knife?"
"I didn't expect that there is such an amazing skill! It seems that our engineering team is about to have a supernova!"
"How did you do it?"
"..."
When he heard the interview foreman's question, Zoro fell silent for a moment, his eyes seemed to have a touch of melancholy, and then he said expressionlessly, "Nothing but familiarity!"
The words fell.
This ordinary but simple answer immediately made everyone present couldn't help but applaud, and they all looked in awe at the wood planer in front of them who came for the interview today.
You deserve to have such a superb wood planer!
At this glance, you can tell that it is the result of years of hard work!
No doubt about it!
The foreman said without any hesitation, "You're hired!"
"Are you qualified?" After hearing that he was hired, Zoro was relieved.
Thinking of my experiences these past few days...
That's right!
He was lost again and hadn't eaten in days.
Speaking of which, where did the Land of Grass people go?
Why can't I see anyone when I come out?
It made him take the wrong path again!
'Gu~'
Hearing the sound in his stomach, Zoro raised his head again, looked at the new foreman in front of him, and said, "Can I eat now?"
"Of course! Can you still be hungry when you come to work here? Don't worry, with your skills, this place will never treat you badly!"
Hearing Zoro's words, the foreman burst out laughing, "I have always been envious of a genius from the engineering team next door. Unexpectedly, we also have a technical talent here today! Let's go eat! Don't starve our newcomers! Let me know what you want to eat, and we will arrange it for you tomorrow, just as a celebration of your joining!"
"Thank you!" Hearing the foreman's words, Zoro also showed a faint smile, and then under the gaze of everyone...
Without hesitation, he ran to the construction site cafeteria nearby, then skillfully picked up his own plate and started serving food skillfully.
He is really hungry!
All actions are done in one go!
After a while, he packed a plate full of dishes and squatted down as usual.
However.
Just when it was about to start.
Suddenly a strange voice came from the side, "You are so awesome!"
