East China Sea, Kingdom of Goa, Windmill Village.

The red-haired pirates have become very familiar with the people of Windmill Village over this period of time, at least they won't be surprised when they suddenly disappear and reappear.

For Shanks and others, adventure is their daily life, and Windmill Village is just a temporary harbor.

To be precise, it's Macchino's Tavern in the village.

If you say what pirates like most in this world, other pirate groups can’t say it, but the Red Hair Pirates’ answer must be to hold a banquet!

Regardless of whether there is anything going on or not, it is enough to have a banquet every day.

If you're in doubt, come on, let's hold a banquet!

Because of this situation, Shanks became very familiar with the tavern owner Makino.

Shanks has a mind that ordinary men don't have. He has followed Roger on adventures all over the world since he was a child. His knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary people. The most important thing is that he is humorous. He is not handsome in appearance, but he is more pleasing to the eye than most pirates.

He can always become friends with people easily.

Maginot is one of them, and Luffy is the other.

To be precise, Luffy can be regarded as Shanks's little fanboy. Unlike Garp's life-threatening behavior, Shanks' many adventure stories have an unparalleled appeal to children like Luffy, and even

Sabo was attracted.

That is to say, Ace, because of Roger's negative influence, Lu Jiu's words and deeds, and Allen's influence, is still determined to become a marine for the time being.

The red-haired pirates who returned to Windmill Village today gathered in Maginot's tavern again. Because of a group of them, Maginot's sales have increased sharply during this period, and one month is equivalent to a year.

Especially the wine, no matter how much she brought in, there was never enough.

The red-haired pirates made wine again today.

Shanks was sitting alone at the bar, with Luffy next to him, listening to the stories of their adventures.

In order to listen to the story, he escaped from Aunt Lujiu's house without even eating lunch.

"Shanks, take me with you next time you go sailing." Luffy wanted to go sailing with him.

But a kid like him, who is even younger than when Shanks boarded Roger's ship, would certainly not agree.

Luffy was very dissatisfied: "Don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful, my fists are like pistols!"

His words caused a group of people to burst into laughter. Luffy had no idea what kind of pirates his pirate group was. The truly powerful pirates were men like Shanks, who could not even do anything to Admiral Akainu.

Of course, at that time Akainu was not the general he is now.

Luffy was very angry, but Shanks gave him a glass of juice. Luffy immediately took it happily and thanked him, which was very polite.

Shanks slapped the table and laughed: "Hahahahaha, you are still a brat after all." The others followed and laughed unscrupulously.

Luffy was so angry that if he couldn't beat Shanks, he would have to let him have a taste of his own power.

Maginot couldn't help laughing, the captain was really gentle and funny, and he had a good relationship with Luffy.

At this moment, the door of the tavern was suddenly kicked open, and a man walked in. Behind him were a dozen people holding knives and guns in their hands. The room immediately became silent.

The atmosphere became depressing.

The man walked up to the bar and asked for a drink. Maginot was embarrassed and said that all the drinks were sold out, which made the man very angry.

"I am Lord Sig, the bandit with a bounty of 8 million. I am different from these unknown pirates who smell like fish. Do you look down on me, Sig?"

Maginot couldn't afford to offend the man in front of her, so she immediately apologized and explained that all the last wine was sold and there was indeed no wine left in the store, so she didn't mean to look down on him.

Shanks, who was immersed in eating, raised his head and picked up a bottle of wine next to him: "I haven't opened this bottle yet, so why don't I give it to you. Give me face and treat it as a friend."

Shanks did not deliberately hide his identity in the East China Sea. The key point is that the Kingdom of Goa is a very remote place even in the East China Sea. You can know how remote it is from the fact that there have been no pirates here for many years.

No one here knew his identity, not even a little bandit, so his face fruit ability was not successful.

Sig was very annoyed, who is this damn smelly pirate?

Give him some face, let's all make friends, you pirates don't even look at whether you are worthy or not?!

Sig swung out his fist and smashed the wine bottle in Shanks' hand. The brown liquid spread all over the floor, and even more flowed down from Shanks' straw hat. His clothes were all wet.

.

Sig pulled out the long knife from his waist and cut a deep mark on the bar: "Make a friend? Hey, who do you think you are! I am not something you pirates like cats and dogs can compare to. Forget it.

Now, since I don’t have any wine, I have nothing to say to you stinky pirates. Boys, let’s go!”

Neither Sig nor his men paid much attention to a group of pirates. Usually, only those who feel fear of tigers are powerful beasts, but not only are flies not afraid of tigers, they will even poop on tigers' heads.

After a group of them left, Shanks grinned and laughed loudly.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone else laughed heartily too. This incident was one of the funniest things they had encountered in all their sailing. This incident alone was enough for them to talk about it for a long time.

Even the ascetic vice-captain Beckman, who always had a cold face, couldn't help laughing.

Except for one person, that's Luffy!

Luffy was very dissatisfied with Shanks' behavior and loudly accused Shanks of being a coward. Even though the bandit looked very powerful, he didn't even dare to resist. This made Luffy feel that the pirate he admired was performing poorly.

He ignored even Shanks's advice and sulked. Suddenly he saw a fruit with a magical pattern placed in a wooden box next to him.

Luffy, who was already very hungry, angrily took a bite of the purple spiral patterned fruit. He didn't even notice that it tasted bad, so he ate the fruit in three bites.

Only then did Shanks react and saw that the Devil Fruit in the wooden box had disappeared, and Luffy's mouth was filled with things again, chewing non-stop.

Shanks didn't understand what was happening. He grabbed Luffy's feet and stood him upside down, shaking him vigorously in the hope that Luffy would spit out the pulp, but it was already too late.

Luffy has become a rubber man who ate the rubber fruit. Well, in fact, it is an animal-type phantom beast, and the future sun god was born.

…

…

Ace and Sabo ran out after lunch obediently, but before they could find Luffy, they ran into Maginot who looked anxious.

"Quick, Ace Sabo, you two go find Mr. Captain, Luffy was captured by bandits over there, I'll go find the village chief!"

After saying that, she ran away quickly.

Ace and Sabo looked at each other and quickly ran in the direction pointed by Maginot.
