First Meeting with Little Luffy

After Ye Feng said it was fine, Shanks stepped forward, wrapped an arm around the little shoulders of the boy who was only a few years old, and laughed loudly. "Hahahaha... In that case, we're friends from now on." He turned to the stunned crew members and Buluji, who was sprawled on the ground. "Guys, let's have a party."

With an arm around Ye Feng's shoulders, Shanks led him over and sat down on a chair in the bar. "Little brother, what would you like to drink?"

Ye Feng did not stand on ceremony. "A glass of rum for me, and a glass of milk for my little sister, please!" He pointed at Avril, who had followed him over and sat down beside him.

Shanks called toward the back of the bar, "Landlady, one glass of rum and one glass of milk, please."

Then he looked at Ye Feng again. "Little brother, where are you from?"

Ye Feng replied, "We're from the South Blue."

Shanks asked again, "Then how old are you two?"

Everyone around them pricked up their ears, including little Luffy. Ye Feng answered blandly, "I'm six this year, and my sister is five."

Upon hearing that, Shanks stared at Ye Feng in shock. "Judging from the sword aura you casually swung out just now, your swordsmanship realm must be at least at the initial Sword King level, right?"

Ye Feng nodded and answered without holding anything back. "That's right. My swordsmanship realm is at the initial Sword King level." Then he changed the subject. "But my sister's realm is higher than mine. She's an intermediate Sword King."

This left Shanks and everyone beside him even more shocked. Are they even human? He's already a Sword King at six, and his sister is even more monstrous.

The most astonished of all was Shanks. He had only become a Great Sword Emperor after turning thirty, and people had already called him a genius.

Yet now, before him stood a six-year-old initial Sword King and an even more terrifying five-year-old intermediate Sword King. Thinking back, he had probably still been playing with mud at six.

Since little Luffy could not understand the swordsmanship realms, he ran over and asked Ye Feng, "What were you talking about just now? Why can't I understand a single word?"

Just as Shanks was about to speak—

A beautiful green-haired woman wearing an apron emerged from the back of the bar. She carried a tray holding two glasses of rum and one glass of milk.

When Ye Feng saw her, his eyes lit up. This must be the woman in One Piece who should most be a wife.

Then he glanced at Shanks and noticed an almost imperceptible hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Makino set the rum and milk on the counter and was about to leave when she noticed the bar that Ye Feng had just sliced in half with his sword.

Turning back, she asked Shanks in surprise, "What happened here?"

Upon hearing that, Ye Feng immediately stood up and answered, "I'm sorry. I accidentally cut it with my sword just now. Tell me, how much will it cost? We'll compensate you."

Just as Ye Feng was about to reach toward Avril, who was seated beside him, for money, he discovered that she was no longer there.

Only then did he remember that his sister had spent all their money, leaving them with only three Beli.

Just as Ye Feng was feeling embarrassed and preparing to borrow money from the Red-Haired Pirates beside him, the bar's doors were suddenly kicked open by a middle-aged man carrying a longsword. He barged in and snarled, "Hurry up and bring me some liquor! I'm Gram, the mountain bandit with a bounty of three million! If you don't hurry, I'll chop you all to pieces!"

Ye Feng ignored "Mountain Bandit Gram" and instead looked at the beautiful Makino. "Would three million be enough to compensate for the damage to your bar?"

Makino had yet to process what was happening and did not know what to say, so she nodded. "Enough! More than enough!"

Ye Feng rose and walked toward Mountain Bandit Gram, who was sitting there with one leg crossed over the other. When Ye Feng reached him, Gram finally reacted. He stared at the child before him with disdain. "Where did this little brat come from? Since I'm in a good mood right now, get lost. If you don't, I'll chop you into mincemeat and throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

Ye Feng ignored him and merely asked, "What bounty did you say you had again?"

Mountain Bandit Gram thought Ye Feng had been frightened by his bounty, so he shouted it again, "I'm a man with a bounty of three million!"

Hearing that, Ye Feng said, "Then that's right!"

Before anyone could react, he killed the man who had just claimed to have a three-million bounty with a single slash.

Then, with practiced ease, he pulled a bag from behind his back, cut off Gral's head, and placed it inside.

He handed it to Makino, who had been scared half out of her wits, and said, "Here. This is compensation for your bar."

Seeing this, Shanks thought to himself, That kid will definitely become a ruthless figure in the future.

Although Ye Feng's interference changed things this time, little Luffy still successfully ate the Rubber Fruit.
