Pirates: Being salvaged onto the ship by Roger at the beginning

The old man was very happy.

A month later, in the East China Sea Windmill Village, the Red Force appeared outside the small village. The huge pirate ship attracted countless villagers to watch. It was the first time for everyone to see such a huge pirate ship.

So, everyone came out to watch the excitement. Only one old man frowned as he looked at the pirate ship docked on the shore in front of him, because the East China Sea is a symbol of peace, and because Garp often goes home to visit, the Windmill Village has always been safe, and few pirates come.

"I hope these guys don't cause trouble!" The village chief looked at the Red Hair Pirates who had landed, knocked on his crutches, and then found a place to sit down, looking calmly.

"Hey, Boss. This village is pretty good, and I saw a tavern!" As soon as he got off the boat, Lakilu began to look around the streets of Windmill Village. He saw a tavern at a glance and said happily.

"Oh, hahaha, it seems that we are lucky. Tell the brothers to rest here," Shanks said.

"Remember, don't make trouble. Donghai is a very powerful governance officer." Shanks seemed to remember something and ordered.

"Yes, Boss! We are not that kind of people!"

Shanks and his party began to walk towards the tavern. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Makino who was cleaning the table. Looking at the mighty pirates, Makino was not panicked at all.

"Excuse me, what do you want to drink?"

"Wine! Give everyone a bottle of wine!" Shanks waved his hand, took the lead in coming to the counter and sat down, and then said generously.

"Boss, generous!" Lakilu and others cheered excitedly, and a group of people entered the tavern in an orderly manner. After all, they were a group of polite pirates.

Outside the tavern, looking at the quiet and peaceful tavern, the village chief shook his head and left with a cane, as long as this group of people did not make trouble.

"Are you pirates?"

Just then, a child in a T-shirt ran in from outside like a whirlwind. As soon as he entered the door, he stared at Shanks, the leader, with wide eyes. The person who came was Luffy, who was still a crying kid.

"Yeah!"

"I want to become a pirate too. Take me with you when the time comes." Luffy looked at Shanks eagerly, with excitement and nervousness on his face.

"Hahaha, where did you come from, little brat, pirate? This is not a game of playing house!" Shanks looked at Luffy, whose face was full of seriousness, and laughed.

"Luffy!" Makino looked at Luffy, hurried over to hold him, and said.

"If your grandfather knew that you wanted to become a pirate, he would definitely beat your ass!" Makino warned with a serious face.

"Hmph, I don't want to be a navy, I want to be a pirate, this is my dream", Luffy's mouth twisted, looking reluctant, but he was still sent out of the tavern because Makino took out Garp as a deterrent.

But Luffy has been stubborn since he was a child, and he came again the next day. He was rejected every time but never gave up.

Time flies, and a month has passed.

"Shanks, please take me to the sea, I'm a good swimmer!" Luffy, who has been familiar with the Red Hair Pirates, sat on the chair opposite Red Hair Shanks very naturally and continued to ask.

"No, Luffy, being a pirate is not just about swimming well, you are still too young!" Listening to Luffy's tireless request to get on the ship, Jesus Bu said.

"I can fight, I'm awesome, my fists are as powerful as pistols!" Luffy retorted with a look of dissatisfaction, and then stood on the chair and began to punch non-stop, wanting to show his own strength.

"Really? ⚆_⚆?" Hearing Luffy's self-praise, Shanks's casual voice sounded, like a thunder in Luffy's mind, and suddenly, it exploded directly.

"Damn it, Shanks, what do you mean by this!" Luffy opened his mouth wide and yelled at Shanks angrily, as if he wanted to eat someone.

"Ahem, Luffy, to put it simply, you are still too young. There will be all kinds of dangers on the Grand Line, and it is not suitable for you yet!" Lakilu took a bite of the chicken leg and looked at Luffy and said his true thoughts.

"Luffy, grow up well on the island. You are the same age as my kid!" Jesus Bu agreed.

"I am no longer a three-year-old child. I am seven years old!" Luffy hit the table with his little fist and said angrily.

"Okay, don't be angry, Luffy, drink a glass of juice!" Looking at the angry little

Luffy, Shanks handed over a glass of juice, saying softly.

"Thank you!" Luffy took the juice, thanked him, and drank it with both hands holding the cup.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Hahaha, you said you were not a kid, but you were bought off with a glass of juice!" Shanks looked at Luffy who had finished the juice, raised his head and laughed while patting the table, and a strange atmosphere filled the air.

"ヽ(‘⌒´メ)ノ, Shanks, you are too mean!" Luffy said angrily, then turned his head and didn't look at Shanks in anger. In contrast, Shanks didn't care, it was just a little guy, and he would be bought off with a piece of candy after a while.

At this moment, the strongest bandit king in the East China Sea who was said to have "defeated" the two Four Emperors appeared. The door of the tavern was kicked open, and a group of bandits with ferocious looks walked in.

"Is this what you call pirates? They all look like a bunch of idiots!"

"We are bandits, but we are not here to cause trouble. Hurry up and prepare ten barrels of wine for us!"

'King of Bandits' Sig walked in arrogantly, looked at the Red Hair Pirates with disdain, and walked straight to the counter and said.

"Sorry, the wine is sold out!"

"Sold out? Then what are these pirates drinking?" Sig said angrily, and then ignored Makino, and focused his eyes on Shanks who was eating.

"Oh, we drank all the wine. If you don't mind, this bottle of wine is for you. It has not been opened yet!" Feeling a sense of hostility, Shanks raised his hand and handed the wine in front of him to the bandit Sig.

However, to everyone's surprise, Sig directly broke the wine glass and spilled all the wine on Shanks.

"Tsk, are these pirates?"

"Oh my, they're all over the floor, damn it." Shanks didn't take the humiliation seriously, but squatted down to clean up.

"Do you like cleanliness?" Sig frowned as he looked at Shanks who ignored him, then drew his sword and smashed all the bottles and cutlery on the table, which fell to the floor.

"Are these pirates? They're just a bunch of cowards, but I'm a man with a bounty of 8 million berries!" Sig walked away arrogantly.

"Puff, hahahahaha"

"Hahahaha! The boss is really embarrassed"

After Shanks laughed for the first time, everyone in the Red Hair Pirates laughed, and the tense atmosphere disappeared instantly.

"Laugh? You can still laugh! ╰_╯╬

Why, why don't you fight back? Even if, even if the opponent looks a little strong, he shouldn't be afraid to resist, right?" Luffy looked at the embarrassed Shanks and the laughter that filled the tavern, and shouted loudly.

The young Luffy didn't understand why Shanks did this, but he felt that it was cowardly to be bullied without fighting back.

"Luffy, it's not that I don't understand your feelings, but it's just a little water splashed on you, it's no big deal!" Shanks looked at Luffy who was really angry, and explained gently.

"Humph, I won't pay attention to you!" Luffy turned his head away angrily, his body floating up and down, wanting to eat something to calm down, and happened to see the opened box on the table, then grabbed it and bit it.

Maybe it was a sense of fate, Shanks looked at Luffy who was eating, his face suddenly changed, and he stood up suddenly.

"Luffy, what were you eating just now? Did you eat the things in the box?! ⊙▽⊙"

"Spit it out, spit it out quickly!" Shanks turned Luffy over and shook it up and down vigorously, trying to spit out the fruit pulp that Luffy had just eaten.

Unfortunately, it had been swallowed by Luffy.

"DUANG!"

While shaking, Luffy, who was suspended in the air, suddenly had a close contact with the ground.

"Luffy, do you know what you just ate? That's the rubber fruit. Once you eat it, you can't swim anymore!" Shanks roared loudly, because the people from Roger's pirate group were not too dependent on devil fruits.

"Ah! No! Wuuwu~"
