Pirates: Start by rejecting the redhead's invitation

As soon as Xia Qi finished speaking, she realized a problem: "Oh, by the way, it seems that the messenger bird can't fly into the Amazon Lily. The fact that Lin Mo was offered a reward was just announced yesterday. It's normal that you don't know."

Hancock was silent for a moment. Even though he was shocked, he tried his best to calm down and asked again: "Why did he kill the Draco?"

Xia Qi said with a half-smile: "It seems that he took action because the Tianlong people threatened him and asked his crew to become slaves. How about that? Isn't that kid pretty good?"

"Hmph! What's not bad? Didn't he just kill a Celestial Dragon? That's not the reason why he can go to the island! Amazon Lily is a place where men are forbidden to set foot!" Although Hancock has now changed his impression of Lin Mo,

But this was not enough for her to accept letting Lin Mo stay here.

"Oh, from your tone, he should have already gone to the island. If you had already dealt with him, you wouldn't call me now to confirm his information." Xia Qi said lightly.

Hancock's expression darkened again: "It's not your old woman's turn to tell you what I want to do, huh, that's it, goodbye!"

After finishing speaking, Hancock hung up the phone directly.

After staying in his spacious and luxurious room for a long time, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

"Come in." Hancock said in a cold tone.

Then, the door was opened.

Two tall, strange-looking, snake-like women walked in from outside.

"Sister, I heard that you killed three intruders." One of them, a woman with long dark green hair and a big head named Sandasonia, asked.

"Huh, just three stinky monkeys." Hancock's face was full of displeasure.

Another woman with orange hair and a fat body named Marigold asked strangely: "From my sister's tone, it seems that the intruder this time is more difficult to deal with."

These two people are Hancock's sisters.

Hancock was silent for a moment and continued: "They ran away."

"What?" Hancock's two sisters said in unison.

The two of them looked at each other in disbelief.

Sandasonia asked solemnly: "You were able to escape from your sister's hands. This shows that the intruders this time are not ordinary people. Are they still on the island now?"

"Ignore this for now." Hancock looked at Sandasonia, "Find a way to get the latest newspaper."

"Um? Newspaper?" Sandasonia looked confused. In her impression, Hancock was not someone who liked reading newspapers. Although she didn't know what Hancock's purpose was, now that Hancock had spoken,

It's just a newspaper, so you can say, "Okay, I got it!"

Donghai, Windmill Village, Maginot Bar.

A young man wearing a straw hat ran into the bar excitedly, jumped up on the bar counter with ease, patted the bar table, and shouted with a smile: "Mackino, orange juice, I want to drink orange juice~

"

Maginot, who was reading the newspaper, put the newspaper on the table and said with a smile: "Luffy, you haven't been here for a long time. What have you been busy with during this time?"

The young man named Luffy bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Hey, I won't tell you that I am doing secret training with Ace every day in the valley to prepare for going to sea to become a pirate in the future."

Maginot covered her mouth and smiled: "You really can't hide secrets."

"It's not a secret." Luffy said nonchalantly, "I will become the Pirate King in the future."

"If you really become a pirate, I'm afraid Mr. Garp will have a headache." Maginot smiled and put the orange juice prepared for Luffy in front of him, "Mr. Garp has always wanted you to become a navy."

Luffy drank more than half of the orange juice in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and then said disgustedly: "What's so good about the navy? I'm still free to be a pirate. Now, when I go to sea, Maginot, you will be the number one on my ship."

A crew member?"

"Haha, thank you for the invitation." Maginot refused with a smile, "I still have to look after the store, so I won't participate in your adventure."

"Hey, do you really not want to be my crew member?" Luffy said regretfully, "If Maginot were on my ship, I would be able to drink delicious juice every day."

"Hahaha." Maginot smiled and touched Luffy's head, "Luffy, are you twelve years old?"

"Yeah." Luffy quickly recovered and smiled broadly, "In five years, I will go to sea. I'm really looking forward to it~ I really hope I can meet Shanks soon."

As he said that, Luffy took off the straw hat he was wearing, looked at the straw hat, his face was full of excitement: "This is the agreement between Shanks and I, I will definitely become a great pirate recognized by him!

"

Maginot looked at Luffy with a smile, and suddenly thought of something. She immediately flipped through the newspaper she had just read, and took out a reward order. Looking at the person on the reward order, she couldn't help but twitching her lips.

The reward order was placed in front of Luffy and he continued: "When you go to sea in the future, if you see this person, remember to say hello to him for me."

Luffy looked at the man with a stinky face on the reward order, who looked like everyone owed him money, and asked curiously: "Who is this? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety... Uh? The ten digits are

How much? But it’s awesome! This man looks about the same age as Ace, and he’s already been rewarded? Who is he?”

"His name is Lin Mo." Maginot said with a smile, "He was the one who refused Shanks' invitation to board the ship. I remember this was five years ago, when he was only ten years old."

"Huh? Ten years old?" Luffy counted on his fingers, "Then he is only fifteen years old now? He was offered a bounty at the age of fifteen, that's amazing! I want him to be my crew member!"

"Pfft, you'd better give up this idea. Lin Mo said that he wants to be a traveler and shouldn't be a pirate on your ship."

"Hey, Luffy, are you okay?" At this time, at the door of the bar, a young man named Ace with black hair and some freckles on his cheeks called out to Luffy impatiently.

Luffy immediately drank up the remaining orange juice in the cup, then picked up the reward in front of him and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave first. I'll take this reward."

Before Maginot could say anything, Luffy had already trotted towards Ace.

After leaving the bar, the two of them were on their way to the valley. Ace casually glanced at Luffy holding the reward list and asked wordlessly: "Do you know the people up there?"

"I don't know."

"If you don't know me, then why are you using someone else's reward order?"

"Hehe." Luffy grinned and said, "I have decided, I want him to be my future crew member! Ace, how about you go to sea a few years later and become my crew member too?"

Ace grinned disdainfully: "You've never hit me once, so don't talk like this in your sleep. You're just as good as my crew."

"Hmph! Just because I can't beat you now doesn't mean I won't be able to beat you in the future, idiot Ace!"

"Huh? You dare to call me stupid? Who is stupid?" Ace directly started to pull Luffy's face to both sides.
