In the crowd, Allen heard the two of them talking quietly. The content mentioned in the words made him feel ridiculed, so he smiled and joked, "Hey, listening to what you said, could it be that your cousin is marrying your wife tomorrow?"
This sentence, which seemed like a joke, instantly caused ripples like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.
Everyone's eyes turned to the two speakers. For a time, countless eyes focused on them, and blushes quickly appeared on their faces. They were so embarrassed that they didn't know where to put their fingers. They could only uncomfortably pick at the corners of their clothes, as if hoping to find a crack in the ground to get in.
Shanks saw this scene, helplessly held his forehead, and complained with a bit of hatred in his tone, "You two can't even speak properly, what else can you two do?"
When their boss said this, the two of them were like children who had made a mistake. Their heads were so low that they almost hit the ground. They silently picked up the food and tried to hide their embarrassment by eating.
At this time, Allen has already turned his attention to food.
He quickly took off two large pieces of meat and handed them to Ace and Sabo enthusiastically.
Ace and Sabo looked at each other and said in unison, "Thank you, Brother Allen!"
Allen laughed heartily, "Hahaha, why are you so polite? Just treat it like you are at home, don't be restrained, right?"
As he spoke, he looked specifically at Shanks standing aside.
Shanks was clicked by Allen, with a signature smile on his face, "That's right, that's right, don't be polite, I don't pay for the food and drinks anyway!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Allen pretended to be angry and laughed and cursed, "You guy, don't you pay for it, so you are not willing to give it to everyone!"
Shanks smiled and waved his hands, "How could that be? How can I be so picky as you?"
"I still remember when I was a kid, whenever you had something good to eat, you would find a place to hide it, for fear that others would snatch it from you."
Mentioning these childhood memories, a rare look of embarrassment appeared on Allen's face.
Yamato on the side saw this and couldn't help laughing. Her laughter was hearty and unscrupulous. "So you were so naughty when you were a child. You hid the food and ate it secretly."
Hearing this, Allen's face instantly turned red, like a ripe tomato.
When Robin and Nana saw this scene, they couldn't help covering their mouths and suppressing laughter. There was a gentleness unique to women in their gentle movements.
Allen noticed everyone's gazes and knew that no matter how hard he explained, he was getting darker and darker, so he had to quickly change the topic and said to Ace and Sabo: "You are still laughing, hurry up and eat yours!"
Ace and Sabo also cooperated very well. They immediately raised the meat and took a big bite. The expressions of satisfaction bloomed on their faces instantly.
Not far away, the voice of Luffy suddenly broke the joyful atmosphere.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ace, Sabo, give me something to eat quickly, I'm starving to death!"
The voice was a bit coquettish and full of urgency.
Ace and Sabo subconsciously turned their attention to Allen. They knew in their hearts that Luffy was really hungry, and they also knew that in this kind of matter, they still had to look at Allen's meaning.
Allen frowned slightly when he heard Luffy yelling. He thought the sound was a bit noisy.
So he pulled out a big piece of meat and smashed it towards Luffy accurately.
This piece of meat was like it had eyes, hitting Luffy on the head without any bias.
Luffy was almost fainted by this sudden "attack". He was stunned for several seconds, and the expression on his face was blank.
But soon, his eyes focused on the meat on the ground, and he instantly showed an ecstatic expression. He immediately picked up the meat from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation. He looked like he hadn't eaten anything in days.
Seeing this scene, everyone at Red-Haired Pirates was filled with doubts.
Ace is also a friend, why does Allen treat Sabo as kindly as his own brother, but treats this child named Luffy like a pet?
This obvious difference in treatment aroused everyone's curiosity.
At this time, Shanks was keenly aware of everyone's doubts, and he asked calmly, "Don't you like this child very much?"
As he spoke, he also indicated the location of Luffy with his eyes.
Allen was stunned when he heard this question. He had a troubled look on his face, his mouth opened slightly, and he hesitated to say a word. It seemed that he had thousands of words, but he didn't know where to start.
Robin, who was standing aside, had been quietly observing all this.
Seeing Allen's embarrassment, she smiled and explained for Allen: "This Luffy is actually the Grandson of Marine Hero Garp."
"Yamato suffered a lot under Garp before, so he may have transferred his emotions to Luffy unknowingly."
After hearing Robin's explanation, everyone at Red-Haired Pirates suddenly realized that Satori actually had such a connection.
Shanks couldn't help but burst into laughter. There was a hint of ridicule in his laughter. "If you can't beat Garp, then you just vent your anger on him Grandson. What's going on?"
When Yamato heard Shanks's words, he immediately cast a sharp look, which seemed to say, "Try talking nonsense again."
When Shanks saw this, he immediately raised his glass with knowledge, gestured towards Allen, and then drank it all in one gulp, deftly resolving the embarrassment.
Just when everyone's attention was gradually distracted, Shanks's eyes inadvertently glanced at an inconspicuous box.
His eyes were instantly attracted, a solemn look appeared on his face, and then he asked, "Why did you bring this thing out?"
There was a bit of surprise and confusion in his tone.
When Chira Lu heard the boss's question, he quickly stepped forward and responded respectfully, "Boss, it's not safe to put this thing on the boat, so I took it with me."
Shanks listened and nodded thoughtfully.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Kira Lu was right. The thing in this box was too special, special enough to make the entire pirate world go crazy for it - that was the legendary Sun God Nika Fruit.
Shanks's mood at the moment was very complicated. What worried him was how to deal with this God-Tier Fruit.
Throw it away, it's such a waste, after all, this is something that countless Pirate Dream covet;
Don't throw it away, I don't know who to give it to.
If he gives it to someone he doesn't know well, he is worried that after the other person awakens, he will help the world government deal with him;
He wanted to give it to those close to him, but he was afraid that the defects in the fruit would bring danger to them.
This fruit is like a hot potato, putting Shanks in a dilemma.
