I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 589 Luffy: My grandfather said that pirates are all bad guys

[Chapter Extra: Days on Jiu She East Road, Bug Fixes, "Follow Me"]

[Obviously there was not much physical exertion, but Hancock was soon sweating profusely, his heart was pounding, his body was controlled by snake hair poison, and he could only act according to Xu Lun's words... After a while, She calmed down her breathing, heard Xu Lun's voice in the darkness, and followed her. Although her vision was temporarily blocked under the command of snake hair toxin, she could not follow Xu Lun's footsteps with her knowledge...]

---------------------------------

〖Goa Kingdom, Windmill Village——〗

The boy wearing a navy T-shirt with a seagull pattern was carrying a vegetable basket and walking happily in the countryside. The farmers, fishermen, villagers passing by... men, women, old and young, all laughed when they saw him.

"Luffy, are you out shopping for groceries again?" An old man was holding a **** and wiping his sweat with the towel on his neck.

The six-year-old boy smiled and said: "Yes!"

An old lady carrying a bag of vegetables took out a carrot from the bag and joked: "Luffy, how much does a carrot cost?"

The last time Luffy went out to buy groceries, after buying carrots, he gave all the hundreds of beli he had to the store, leaving not a single penny left. When he went back, he was so angry at the person who asked him to buy groceries.

Luffy couldn't figure it out. Something so unpalatable must be very expensive!

Who would buy it if it tastes bad? It should be cheaper! Fortunately, Luffy is young, otherwise people would have to hang this brat up and take care of him.

"Luffy, don't buy the wrong thing this time!" A passing resident smiled and touched Luffy's head. "If you buy the wrong thing again, you won't be allowed to sleep in my house next time."

Several villagers came to pinch the boy's smooth cheeks, smiling, and they all liked the little grandson that Lieutenant General Garp left in this town.

Garp did not arrange any special residence for Luffy, but in his hometown, Garp's name is the biggest passport, and the villagers naturally care about Luffy.

Luffy has been in Windmill Village for the past few years, basically staying at Aunt Mary's house today, Grandpa George's house tomorrow, and the village elder's house after that. Sometimes I just want to be playful and gluttonous, so I just sleep in Miss Maginot's bar...Miss Maginot is very nice. Not only does she always give Luffy free meals, but she also buys him new clothes from time to time, as if she is a general. Luffy is used to being his younger brother...

What's even more rare is that Luffy, a young man with a simple and carefree personality, can't keep any worries in his stomach until the next day.

He actually didn't think there was anything wrong with such a life at all. On the contrary, sometimes he felt that it was so refreshing to not have his grandfather come to give him the iron fist of love every three days.

In addition, Luffy is handsome and cute, so he is loved by everyone in Windmill Village, a corner of Goa Kingdom.

Luffy said dissatisfied: "I've figured it out and I won't buy the wrong thing again."

The old man at the entrance of the village was holding a cigarette and looked at him and smiled.

When they arrived at the market entrance, Luffy held up a vegetable basket and said, "Buy vegetables!"

The vegetable vendor did not need to ask him what he was buying. He deftly picked up some fresh ingredients and put them into his vegetable basket. Luffy happily handed the stack of Baileys to the other person and said, "Here."

The vegetable vendor held back a smile and took it, but a loud roar came from the side: "Why does it cost so much!"

The aunt was worried and followed her all the way. She took two steps forward and grabbed a few bills from the vegetable vendor's hand, and glared: "Change!"

"I'm just teasing him..." The vegetable vendor shrank his neck and changed his money obediently.

……

Luffy said happily: "I just said I won't buy the wrong thing again."

He was sitting in front of the bar with a vegetable basket next to him. Maginot behind the bar said helplessly: "Your solution is to wait for others to help?"

"What's wrong with that?" Luffy didn't feel embarrassed at all about being helped. He put the remaining change from the grocery shopping on the table, "Mackino, I want to eat a 'just meal' ”

Mackino put away the money with a smile and went to make a "just meal" for Luffy, which was actually just a piece of bread, a steak, a plate of fruit, and a bowl of soup.

While Luffy was concentrating on eating, Maginot quietly put the money just now in Luffy's food basket, and watched the little boy eat with a smile on his back, looking very engaged and happy every time. , will make people feel that life becomes more interesting.

While eating, the few drinkers and diners in the bar seemed to hear something and ran out one after another.

"What's the matter?" Luffy gnawed on the steak with his fork. He turned around strangely and saw that there seemed to be a lot of noise on the street outside. "Is there a circus passing by?"

Mackino wiped her apron and asked Luffy to continue eating, "I'll go out and take a look."

She pushed open the two doors of the bar and saw villagers hurriedly walking on the street, gathering towards the port.

Mackino felt strange. When he saw an acquaintance passing by, he quickly stopped him and asked, "Larry, what happened?"

Larry left a message: "Pirates are coming!" and then trotted along with the crowd to the port.

"Pirates..."

Magino was a little worried, but as a young girl, she couldn't help much by following him, so she might as well go back and take care of Luffy.

When Luffy saw her coming back, he bit his bread and asked, "What's wrong with everyone?"

Mackino shook his head and said: "It seems like a pirate passed by... Don't worry, it will be fine."

The naval hero Lieutenant General Garp would visit his hometown in Donghai twice when he had something to do. Basically, few people had the courage to harass the Kingdom of Goa, Garp’s hometown.

Pirates who really have the courage and don't care about Garp's reputation would not choose to stay in this "weakest sea" and become little pirates. They would have already rushed into the Grand Line and tried to make a name for themselves. Wan went.

Luffy chewed the bread and said: "Grandpa said that pirates are all bad guys, and he always wants me to become a sailor..."

"Then do you want to be one?" Maginot asked with a smile.

"I don't know..." Luffy seemed to be thinking about this issue for the first time. He had been beaten in front of his grandfather before, and he shuddered when he thought of this, "Being a marine means having to face grandpa every day, right? It's so scary... …”

Mackino chuckled.

……

At the port, the village elder was surrounded by villagers standing behind him, confronting the pirates who had disembarked from a pirate ship on the shore.

"Pirates! You are not welcome here." The village elder said solemnly.

The villagers behind him responded in unison, all looking fierce.

The leader of the pirates, a red-haired man wearing a straw hat, scratched his head in distress, "Oh, I'm disgusted..."

Laki Lu laughed while chewing on a big chicken leg: "We are pirates, so it's normal to be hated, right, Captain?"

"That's right!" Shanks seemed to suddenly realize the funny look, "Hahahaha..." **** Bu and other crew members laughed.

The villagers were speechless. Are these people really pirates? What are they doing for fun? !

"They are so happy."

The village elder suddenly heard the childish voice at his feet. He looked down and his hair stood up in shock, "Luffy, why did you come here! It's very dangerous here!"

Luffy held a spoon in his mouth and watched the group of pirates returning to the pirate ship. He did not intend to forcefully enter the village, but he did not leave just yet. He simply held a banquet on the deck...

"They are so happy." He muttered again, and with a smile on his face he wanted to run over and join the party on the ship, but the village elder grabbed him by the back of his neck and lifted him up, "Magino, take him back! ”

The village elder turned around and yelled, and Maginot apologized repeatedly and chased after him.

Huh?

On the pirate ship, Shanks took off his straw hat, revealing his bright red hair. He noticed the villagers on the shore who were still wary of them, as well as Maginot and Luffy walking towards the village, and couldn't help but smile.

"What a beautiful lady, captain." **** walked over with a smile, "Do you want to stay here for a while?"

Other partners shouted: "Jesus Bu, you want to go home!"

"Who said that?" **** denied, "A man under the pirate banner has not yet become famous in the sea, how can he be homesick?"

He raised his finger and rubbed his nose, "...I will be looked down upon by my son."

The vice-captain was stunned, "Do you have a son?"

"Didn't I tell you?" **** Bu was stunned.

"When did you say that?!" Everyone fell down, and soon they were laughing and joking again.

In such a joyful atmosphere, Shanks took a sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to himself: "The wine in Donghai is not bad, I might as well stay a little longer..."

……

The village elder was extremely depressed. Although it was an unexpected good thing that the pirate group did not invade their Windmill Village, they actually stayed at the port and refused to leave.

Windmill Village is located on the edge of the island. Even if you go to the main city of Goa Kingdom, there may not be any men from the king's army willing to send troops to deal with these pirates.

As for the navy...not all kingdoms and islands have navies stationed there. Some participating countries are willing, and some are not. How could the nobles be willing to sponsor an additional naval branch for no reason?

The royal family of Goa Kingdom is unwilling. Therefore there is no naval branch on the island.

If this group of pirates looted the Windmill Village, they might be able to attract the attention of the naval branches on other nearby islands. However, this group of pirates is very peaceful. They don't rob or make trouble. They usually stay on the pirate ship and play by themselves. My own, pirates occasionally come down to operate on the shore, and they don't go near the windmill village. They just fish on the shore with a smile in front of the vigilant villagers, go hunting in the mountains and forests, or swim in the sea...

The pirates hunted a large sea beast weighing several tons, and the villagers were quite greedy. This one can feed them for a long time.

"You want it?" Shanks sat on the huge corpse of the sea beast, lowered the brim of his straw hat, and said with a cool smile, "Then give me the 'treasure' in exchange!"

The villagers were speechless, just spend money to buy it, why do you say it sounds so nice! ?

The business with the pirates was not done in the end.

Because the villagers who quickly ran off to do business actually joined the pirates' banquet, and even took the initiative to help prepare the sea beasts, eating and drinking together, singing and dancing, which made the village elder so angry that he almost had brain congestion. .

What made his vision even more dark was that without paying attention, that kid Luffy ran over again and got into the pirates' banquet!

"Luffy! Come back!"

The village elder roared at the crowd surrounding the sea beast's skeleton and meat. Luffy was eating with Lucky Lu and his mouth was full of oil. He turned around and stuck out his tongue to the frustrated village elder and made a face, "No!"

"This meat is delicious, Maginot, come and eat it too!" Luffy waved to Maginot, who was walking behind the village elder.

Mackino smiled helplessly.

Such a big sea beast was eaten clean in just such a banquet. After the party, the villagers woke up as if from a dream. When they saw the unhappy-looking village chief, they all fled in shame.

"I'm so happy..." Luffy held his bulging belly and tilted his head back to look at the black skull flag flying on the top of the mast of the ship on the shore, "Shanks, the 'treasure' you are talking about is What?"

Shanks drank a glass of wine happily and said with a smile: "'Treasure'? Of course it is-"

"What all pirates want!!" the crew members shouted in unison, laughing together.

"Really..." Luffy's eyes began to light up, and then **** Bu came over smelling of alcohol. He had good eyesight and spotted the pendant under Luffy's collar, "Luffy, this What is it?"

"This?" Luffy pulled out the snake-shaped pendant, "Grandpa said it was given by my father..."

He scratched his head, "But there was an aunt who said this was given to me by a beautiful sister. But after my grandfather sent me here, I never saw that aunt again..."

"Wow~" **** Bu and others laughed, "It's a treasure given to you by others! Then you must cherish it!"

Luffy smiled and said, "Yeah."

Vice Captain Beckman blew out the smoke and said with a smile: "Captain, he also has similar treasures..."

"Huh? Does Shanks have a pendant too?" Luffy looked under Shanks' neck, but Shanks pushed him away in disgust, "I don't have that kind of thing!"

He took off the straw hat on his head and stuck out his tongue: "This is it!"

Luffy curled his lips, "Isn't he just a Straw Hat? I've seen many similar ones."

Shanks smiled and said: "I have seen many similar pendants to yours."

"That's right!" Luffy thought for a while, suddenly realized, and asked curiously, "Who gave Shanks' straw hat?"

"Well..." Shanks looked at the straw hat in his hand, "He is a person I respect very much..."

"Captain! Captain!" At this time, a crew member rushed over holding a newspaper, "There is big news!"

Shanks took the newspaper, and the vice-captain, Lucky Lu, and **** Bu all leaned over and soon showed surprised smiles, "It's that kid... Haha, why is he on the news headlines again? ! ”

Luffy's little head also popped up. He didn't read the words but only looked at the photos, wondering: "Who are you talking about?"

"He is a very powerful guy!"

Shanks pointed at Luffy's nose cheerfully, "Much better than you!"

"Nonsense!" Luffy was angry and waved his arms, "I'm very powerful! Grandpa often trains me..."

"Your grandfather?" Lucky Lu chewed on the bone.

Luffy nodded and said: "His name...what is grandpa's name? Anyway, he is a marine, others seem to call him 'hero'..."

"Hero?"

The same figure appeared above everyone in the red-haired pirates, especially their captain, red-haired Shanks. They were very impressed by the naval hero who haunted them and chased them around the world in the Roger Pirates. The memory was still fresh in his mind. He stuck out his tongue with a grimace and said, "You are that old man's grandson!" Then he laughed and said, "You are often trained by him. It seems you are very pitiful!"

Luffy didn't even refute, he wrinkled his face and nodded with lingering fear.
