Pirate: My partner is too crooked

"Shanks and the others are not cowards. You nasty bandits, apologize to me now!"

In the restaurant, Lin Zhi and the sleepy Aqua had just finished breakfast when Luffy's highly recognizable shout came from the tavern diagonally opposite.

Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion of tables and chairs, and the bandits' unbridled laughter.

'Sure enough, the plot of the original work happened today...'

Lin Zhi, who heard the commotion, slowly put down the finished cup of soy milk in his hand.

After mastering the most basic domineering colors of knowledge and weaponry, the temperament he exudes is much calmer and more capable than before.

Yesterday evening, because he couldn't help Aqua's crying, Lin Zhi reluctantly took her to Maginot's tavern for a drink. By chance, he learned from the proprietress Maginot that the red-haired pirates would complete their voyage today and return to News from Windmill Village.

She and Shanks seemed to be using phone bugs to communicate. In short, the relationship between the two was very unusual.

Therefore, Lin Zhi, who guessed what would happen today, woke up Aqua who was drooling from her sweet dreams early in the morning and waited silently in the store.

"Is it Luffy's voice? Why did he get into a fight with the bandits?!"

Aqua, who squinted her eyes and relied on her body instinct to eat fried dough sticks, immediately cheered up.

After spending this time together, as the goddess of water, she had long recognized Luffy, a little believer with a rubber physique, and a look of worry could not help but appear on his flawless face.

"Lin Zhi, why don't we go out and take a look? No matter how you look at those bandits, they don't look like the kind of guys who generously choose to forgive just because they are children." Aqua stood up.

"Let's go, but remember not to be impulsive. There is something I particularly want to find out."

Afraid that Aqua would be impulsive and mess up the situation, Lin Zhi solemnly confessed, "In everything, follow my command."

Bandit Sig actually doesn't pose much of a threat to him who has mastered two-color Haki and has Aqua's boost.

But if you include the entire well-equipped bandit group, it is still difficult to deal with.

So he not only wanted to see if the red-haired pirates would really appear, and whether there would be any deviation in the original plot, but he also wanted to be like a lurking snake, secretly waiting for the best time for Sig to be alone.

That's right, until now, he is still thinking about Sig's head.

After all, this is not a matter of one or two million!

"Although I don't know what you are planning, don't worry, this goddess has always been very measured!"

Aqua was slightly startled by the rare serious expression, and then she patted her chest and made a promise.

In fact, the best way was to let Aqua stay in the restaurant and not go out, but considering this guy's unparalleled ability to cause trouble, Lin Zhi hesitated and took her with him.

The safest and safest approach is to keep her within your sight!

When I walked out of the restaurant, I happened to see Sig, the bandit in a red-brown coat, dragging the struggling Luffy out of Maginot's tavern.

Surrounded by bandits, they came to the empty street.

The surrounding villagers were attracted by the movement and stood watching from a distance in horror, not daring to come near.

"Damn bastard, I'm not afraid of you, just let me go if you can!"

Little Luffy, who was lifted up in the air, kept swinging his fists at Sig, but now he was just a weak child, and his soft fists hitting Sig had no effect at all.

"The body can actually stretch and contract like rubber. He is really a weird little brat."

With disdain in his eyes, Sig stretched Luffy's cheeks, hands and feet casually.

Perhaps he was a little impatient because of the endless yelling. When he was tired of playing, he pinched Luffy's head hard and slammed him to the ground with his backhand!

boom!

The dull sound made the surrounding villagers tighten their hearts and couldn't help but clenched their fists.

Lin Zhi, who knew that Luffy with a rubber physique would have no problem receiving this blow, had no expression on his face, but Aqua next to him was so angry that he stamped his feet.

If she hadn't been stopped by Lin Zhi, she would have already rushed over with the God's Fire Fist!

"Please let Luffy go, he is just a child. If I have offended you in any way, I am willing to express my most sincere apology to you on his behalf and make compensation."

Among the crowd, Upp Schlapp, the mayor of Windmill Village, stood up and knelt down, begging the bandits to forgive Luffy for his recklessness.

Beside him, Maginot clenched her fists weakly, her eyes were moist, and her beautiful face was full of worry.

In front of the extremely vicious bandits, all they, ordinary villagers with no power, could do was beg for mercy, and that was all they could do.

Gambling your precious life on the benevolence of thieves and bandits on a whim is an extremely stupid act no matter how you think about it.

But this is exactly the real world ruled by this Tianlong people!

"Village Chief, you old guy still knows some rules."

"But it's a pity that this kid came over and started yelling randomly for no reason, which made me feel very unhappy."

Sig raised his leg to trample the moving Luffy under his feet, and pulled out the long knife from his waist with a sinister look in his eyes, "So, your apology is invalid!"

As he finished speaking, he watched Sig waving the blade little by little, and when Aqua couldn't help but take action.

At the end of the dusty street, a group of figures exuding a powerful aura suddenly appeared.

"I was still wondering why no one came to the port to greet you today. So you are here, Luffy."

The leader wore a straw hat and a black cloak, and the three shocking claw marks on his left eye showed his domineering power.

It is none other than the captain of the Red-haired Pirates, Red-haired Shanks!

The cold sea breeze blew from afar, making the cloaks of the pirates standing in front of the bandits rustle.

"Oh? Isn't this the pirate captain who was trembling with fear in the tavern before?"

Sig immediately recognized Shanks, tilted his head, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Why, you haven't left the village yet? Is it because you like the feeling of cleaning garbage?"

"Hahahahaha!"

The bandit boy holding a weapon burst into laughter.

After the last experience, they did not take this group of timid and weak pirates seriously at all.

Facing the bandits' undisguised sneers, Shanks lowered his head slightly and silently walked towards where Luffy and Sig were.

Click.

When passing by a bandit boy, the sound of bullets being loaded was heard.

The dark and cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against his head.

Shanks stopped, raised his head to reveal the three ferocious claw marks on his face, pointed at the gun on his head and said with a smile: "This thing is not used to scare people."

"Now that the gun is drawn, let's gamble our lives!"

The little bandit holding the gun was a little confused by this inexplicable speech: This cowardly guy was not frightened enough to kneel down and beg for mercy?

boom!

Just when the little bandit was still wondering, the crisp sound of gunshots without warning broke the silence at the scene.

Along with the billowing smoke, bright red blood splashed out.

Lucky Lu, the chef of the red-haired pirate group, appeared out of nowhere, holding a big leg of meat in his mouth, raising a gun with one hand, and shot the arrogant little bandit on the spot!

Everyone, including Aqua next to Lin Zhi, was shocked by this sudden turn of events.

"Asshole! You despicable guys, how dare you attack without even saying hello?!"

The bandits who reacted drew their swords and entered combat mode.

"Despicable? The people standing in front of you are not ordinary villagers who know the rules. We are pirates!"

Compared to the panic of the bandits, the members of the red-haired pirates were much calmer.

"Listen up, bandit, whether you hit me with a wine bottle or spit at me, I can laugh it off, but..."

Shanks continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, looking at Sig with a calm gaze, but his domineering aura was as sharp as a sword.

"I will never forgive anyone who dares to hurt my friend!"

Hearing this, Xiao Luffy's pupils were shocked as he was stepped on by Sig, and he seemed to understand something.

"Shanks..."
