Chapter 357: The time is right, the protagonist arrives
When I think of pirates, I think of those nasty guys who often catch mermaids.
Coupled with the fact that Grandpa Garp often nags about pirates in his ear, now Luffy, it can be said that he doesn't like pirates from the bottom of his heart.
See Luffy attracting everyone's attention.
Makino, who was standing behind him, quickly picked him up and covered his mouth, embarrassed and nervous.
Shanks was stunned for a moment, then resumed his smile and walked towards Luffy.
The village chief, Slap, rushed over to stand in the middle and explained: "Hehe, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! It's all misunderstanding! Children are ignorant, you don't have to listen..."
The words are not finished yet.
Tear Rapp was pulled away by one of the pirates.
Shanks came to Luffy and said to Makino in his arms, "Can you tell me why you hate pirates?"
"Mum! Mum! Mum! Mum!" Luffy broke free from Makino's hand covering his mouth and took a few breaths, "I just hate pirates!"
After saying that, he looked towards Lucky Roux not far away.
He is the fat man in the Red Hair Pirates who often carries a piece of meat in his hand.
Looking at it, Luffy even drooled.
The content of the mouth is completely inconsistent with the expression.
Shanks obviously noticed this too, he looked at Luffy interestingly, and then at the piece of meat in Lucky Roux's hand. Immediately, he became more playful and opened his palm towards Lucky Roux.
Therefore, Lucky Roux handed the piece of meat over with all his reluctance.
He took the meat.
Shanks handed the meat to Luffy and shook it.
This piece of meat is like a magnet, which firmly attracts Luffy's eyeballs.
The meat is on the left, and Luffy's eyes turn to the left.
The meat is on the right, and Luffy's eyes turn to the right.
Luffy couldn't bear it anymore, and in the end, he even took the flesh and sucked it hard. In the blink of an eye, all that was left was the drool-filled hand, the only bone left in the hand, and Luffy's innocent chewing appearance.
Luffy directed a 'what are you looking at?' at Shanks.
He completely ignored all the villagers who had already been frightened.
Even Shanks himself was stunned by Luffy's rude manipulation.
But he quickly reacted and didn't mind, and said kindly: "How is it? Do you still hate pirates now?"
Luffy swallowed the meat without thinking: "Hate!"
Another piece of meat reappeared in Lucky Roux's hand, and Luffy's eyes were demented and his saliva was drooling.
Shanks picks up the meat.
Luffy ate it without hesitation and added a hateful sentence.
After repeating several times, Luffy was so funny that the pirates in the audience couldn't help laughing. In the end, the first contact between the two sides ended in an atmosphere full of laughter.
…
Time flies, time flies.
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
In the original book, Shanks stayed in Windmill Village for more than two years in order to record the pointer/Log Pose, and of course he will not leave early. In the past six months, the friendliness shown by the Red Hair Pirates finally completely opened the hearts of the villagers and became familiar with everyone.
Luffy is still a nuisance.
But hating pirates is not in conflict with eating meat.
The meat that is handed to the mouth, to Luffy, it should be eaten and it must be eaten.
Therefore, messing with Luffy has become one of the favorite daily programs of all the pirates in the Red Hair Pirates.
this day.
The pirates, as usual, came to Makino's bar one after another after waking up, drinking and wasting time. As soon as they arrived, they saw their leader and Luffy drinking vigorously.
Of course, Luffy drinks juice.
"Cheers!"
Luffy took a mouthful of juice and a mouthful of meat, feeling comfortable and satisfied.
Seeing Luffy, the pirates who just arrived couldn't help but tease him every day: "Luffy! Do you still hate pirates today?"
"Hate!"
"Hahahahaha!" The audience was instantly filled with laughter.
Shanks, whose face was a little rosy, said at this time: "Luffy, it's not me talking about you. Just your character... and only being a pirate is the most suitable for you."
"No! I hate pirates!"
Next is another boring day of drinking, dancing, singing, lol, eating meat, etc.
Until sunset arrived.
Just when everyone was a little drunk, an air door suddenly appeared in the bar.
The laughter in the audience stopped.
The people who seemed to be drunk, the smell of alcohol dissipated on the spot.
Everyone's faces became extremely solemn.
Devil Fruit!
There is a devil fruit power user!
No matter who it is, as long as it is a devil fruit person, the opponent's strength will definitely not be too bad. And the other party dares to find it here, which means that the other party is ready for a full-scale conflict with the Red Hair Pirates!
quickly.
Under the gazes of the pirates, the air door opened.
A guy wearing a grim reaper mask came out of the air door.
The visitor was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a suit they had never seen before.
It was the from the Tokyo Ghoul world, and it belonged to the exclusive white clothing of Special Class investigators.
Seeing the other party coming alone, the pirates not only did not let their guard down, but their expressions became more serious.
There is no other reason.
Since he dares to come alone, either he is not stupid or is really powerful.
But the invisible pressure that people bring to them, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like the former.
Li Yaoxiang glanced at the crowd and walked directly towards Luffy.
At the same time, that direction is also where Shanks is.
Seeing that the incoming people ignored them and walked directly towards their captain, all the pirates were about to draw their weapons and kill him on the spot. But they were stopped by a look from Shanks.
Seeing the approaching people getting closer, Shanks, who was also serious, quickly changed his smile and said calmly, "Who is this majestic fella? Are you looking for me?"
Li Yaoxiang didn't even look at Shanks, he came directly to Luffy.
Luffy, who was fighting with his own food, noticed Li Yaoxiang's arrival and said with joy, "Big brother! You're finally here! Are you taking me back to see sister today?"
During the six months that Luffy was in Windmill Village, Li Yaoxiang still kept in touch with Luffy.
And he has informed Luffy in advance that he will lead Luffy back to Fishman Island in the near future, because the time is ripe. At this moment, Hody Jones, who became a guard of the palace, is plotting to assassinate Otohime. Now her life is hanging by a thread. Li Yaoxiang came to lead Luffy to meet Queen Otohime for the last time.
Li Yaoxiang nodded: "Yes."
Luffy's face was overjoyed, he even forgot to eat his favorite meat, jumped off the chair and was about to leave with Li Yaoxiang.
But at this moment, Makino, who was still trembling with fear, finally couldn't help shouting with a trembling voice: "You...you...you can't leave!"
