Chapter 1: Garp’s Dad
It’s 1518 in the Haiyuan calendar.
East China Sea, Windmill Village.
As usual, it is still sunny and windy here, with clear skies.
From time to time, seagulls fly across the sky, and their chirping sounds make people feel refreshed and comfortable.
As usual, Windmill Village today is still so peaceful and peaceful
“Sister Maginot, Sister Maginot”
Outside the only tavern in the village, a slightly eager childish voice sounded.
Maginot, who was wiping wine glasses behind the bar, looked up when he heard the sound and saw a few eight or nine-year-old boys in the village roughly pushing open the fence door and running toward the bar, panting.
The eager faces of the children were filled with smiles that could not be hidden.
Among them, the child who looked the biggest was holding a huge wine gourd that was almost as tall as him in his arms.
The child looked a little strenuous, and his little face had already turned red, but he still ran at the front with all his strength.
“Sister Maginot, I want the strongest Shaodaozi wine, please fill it up!”
Using all his strength, he handed the wine gourd in his arms to the counter. The child wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a grin.
The other child immediately handed over a banknote with a face value of 500 beli, with a smile on his face. same smile
“Shoudaozi wine? Megan’s boy, who did you drink such a strong drink for? It couldn’t be your father, right? When did he start drinking strong liquor like Shaodaozi? I remember when he and I drank it a few days ago, we could only drink Erguotou!”
“Even when drinking Erguotou, last time Megan drank it and dumped it under the table.”
“Isn’t it because of this incident that you secretly practice drinking every day?”
“Ha ha ha ha! Meghan’s drinking capacity is so bad that she can’t exercise no matter how hard she exercises.”
“……”
There was a burst of inappropriate laughter. Several children turned around and saw that it was some uncles from the same village, drinking and bragging at the wine table in the corner.
It seems that the few people who went out to sea a few days ago had a very good harvest. Four or five people ordered a full table of dishes.
We haven’t eaten much of the food yet, but everyone’s faces are red from drinking.
Seeing this, the children all hummed and turned their heads.
Windmill Village is not big, and the children often meet the fishermen uncles in the village, but every time they see them, they have to make fun of them.
Especially the tallest one, who is called the boy of Megan’s family.
He still remembers that when he was a child, several uncles would often laugh and want to play with his little baby.
There was even one time when he couldn’t resist the temptation of the other party’s injured snacks, and they really succeeded.
I was ignorant at that time, but now I think back to how they laughed so hard, I suddenly feel that these uncles are really disgusting.
“snort!”
The boy from Megan’s family snorted lightly and didn’t intend to pay attention to them at all. Then he turned his head and looked at Maginot eagerly and said
“Sister Maginot, please hurry up, we still need to listen to Grandpa Ron telling stories!”
“Yeah yeah! Grandpa Ron is still waiting for us at the beach!”
Speaking of this name, the faces of the children were all full of expectation.
When they heard the name Grandpa Ron, Maginot immediately understood
“These little guys are pestering Grandpa Ron to tell them stories again.”
At this thought, a kind face appeared in Maginot’s mind. She still remembers that when she was a child, she would often gather behind Grandpa Ron and pester him to tell her stories about the sea.
In the blink of an eye, she has grown from an ignorant child to the graceful and graceful person she is now.
After taking the wine gourd with a smile, Maginot began to operate it skillfully.
loadAdv(7,3);
When pouring wine, she didn’t even use a funnel. A smooth line of water flowed straight from the ladle in her hand into the small mouth of the wine gourd.
Nothing but familiarity.
Even Maginot was distracted and asked
“A gourd of wine costs 300 beli. There are still 200 beli left. What do you want to eat?”
Hearing this, several children raised their hands one after another and said:”I want five-spice peanuts!”
“I want takoyaki!”
“I want cream cake!”
“I want dried fish!”
“I want……”
“OK OK”
Maginot was very fast. Within a few minutes, he filled the huge wine gourd, and at the same time took out some snacks that he had promised and gave them to the children.
“Thank you, Sister Maginot!”
The children grinned at Maginot, then ran out of the tavern happily carrying a wine gourd and a large basket of snacks. It wasn’t until the children ran out of the tavern that the uncle who had just made fun of him realized what he was doing and couldn’t help but feel ashamed. He touched his head and said in annoyance,”It turns out it was Shaodaozi wine made for Mr. Ron. Why did the old man change the wine pot again? The one he used last time was not a gourd.”
“It’s all because of you, you’re so quick to talk, which made me say a few words.”Others at the table also complained.
“Even so, it’s thanks to Mr. Ron’s good character, otherwise how can we have the nerve to face him in the future?”
“Let’s see if you can still be happy next time”
In today’s Windmill Village, the most respected old man is not the village chief, nor is he Mr. Karp, a high-ranking official at the Navy Headquarters.
It’s the centenarian they call Ron.
“By the way, speaking of the old man, when I went to sea last time, I heard that there were pirates in the Turbine Sea area again. I heard that the methods were extremely cruel. The naval base next door even issued a notice. Should we talk to the old man? Let him mention this matter to Mr. Karp?”
“Yes, the presence of pirates is not a trivial matter. If we encounter them next time we go fishing, we will be in trouble.”
“I think it’s better to say something. The navy at the Goa Kingdom base are all about eating and not doing anything. If we put our hope in them, we might not be able to come back any time we go to sea.”
“Okay, when the old man is free, we will go to the old man to chat about this matter.”
“If Mr. Karp takes action, there should be no problem.”
During the conversation, several people made the decision in an understatement, as if as long as Mr. Ron opened his mouth, Garp would help them eliminate the pirates.
If this idea were known to others, no matter whether he was a pirate or a navy, they would think that this group of people was making a big joke.
Garp, who is that?
That was the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, and he was an absolutely fierce man with the title of Navy Hero and the Strongest Marine.
Even Roger, who conquered the Grand Line and gained the title of Pirate King, was forced into desperate situations by this fierce man several times.
It can be said that in the hearts of naval soldiers, the prestige of this old man with the rank of lieutenant general even exceeds that of the naval marshal Buddha Zhi Sengoku.
How could such a person go from the Navy Headquarters of the Grand Line to the remote turbine waters of the East China Sea to exterminate a group of unknown pirates just because of what Mr. Ron said in your mouth?
However, in Windmill Village, the villagers did not think there was anything wrong with saying such things.
They don’t know how great an officer he is in the navy and how prestigious he is.
They only know that once Mr. Ron speaks, Mr. Karp, who is a high-ranking official at the Navy Headquarters, will do his best to do everything he asks.
Just because, in Mr. Karp’s mouth, Mr. Ron’s title is”Dad.””
That’s all
