Chapter 267: The fateful encounter between Shanks and Luffy(1/2)
In an inconspicuous small village called Windmill Village in the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea, an earth-shattering event was taking place at this time.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't be so nervous, we don't mean any harm!"
A man with red hair and three scars on his left eye was explaining something to the villagers surrounding them...
To be honest, even with the experience of the man in front of me, he was frightened by the toughness of the villagers in this village. When their pirate ship sailed to this village to prepare supplies, the villagers here were not afraid at all.
Instead, he picked up the weapon in his hand and prepared to fight them to the end... Although it was easy to kill these people with his strength, he had no intention of attacking innocent villagers...
"No matter if you have any malicious intentions or not! Please get out of here, you damn pirates! You are not welcome in our Windmill Village!"
Several tall, strong men held hoes, rakes and other farm tools in their hands, and they cursed angrily at the red-haired pirate in front of them and the others behind him.
"Allah……"
The red-haired pirate gently pinched the straw hat on his head. This was the first time he had experienced the feeling of being scolded and unable to do anything about it after being at sea for so long.
"We just want to make some supplies. We will pay for it. If not, how about we go to the pub for a drink? Please!"
The red-haired pirate bowed to the villagers without any pretense, making it impossible for anyone to tell that the man with no pretense in front of him was actually one of the four sea emperors who would rule the second half of the great sea route in the future.
"Get lost! Windmill Village doesn't give pirates a drink!"
A villager shouted angrily at the red-haired pirate.
"Oh!"
The red-haired pirate looked helplessly at his companions behind him.
"Ahahaha... Shanks, you were rejected!"
"You're teasing me to death! Captain, you are so naughty!"
Behind the red-haired pirate, a group of crew members kept laughing at the rejected Shanks.
"Eh?!"
The red-haired pirate bared his teeth at the crew members helplessly, and then looked at the simple villagers with pleading eyes again.
"Please! You can't make it difficult for my subordinate in front of the crew, right?"
The ordinary red-haired pirate named Shanks kept bowing to the villagers.
"roll……"
However, the strong villagers gave a firm answer after looking at the ordinary pirate in front of them, even his chest muscles were not big enough.
"If this is the case, then we have to..."
Shanks sighed helplessly. It seemed that they were going to be hungry today. It was all because he and Mihawk had a banquet last time and ate all the food reserves.
“It’s okay if you just want to eat or drink!”
However, at this moment, a female voice like the sound of nature came into Shanks's ears.
"Um!?"
Even among countless crowds, Shanks saw the beautiful girl with emerald green hair at first sight.
"Angel! You must be an angel!"
Shanks dodged and came to the green-haired girl before anyone could react. He knelt down on one knee and gently kissed the back of the girl's hand like a knight.
"mix!"
"Asshole! Stay away from Maginot!"
Several young people who couldn't stand it couldn't help but picked up the farm tools in their hands and hit Shanks.
"Oh my god...it's so dangerous!"
The moment the farm tool was about to fall on Shanks, he quickly dodged behind him as if he had predicted it in advance.
As a result, the farm tools fell directly on the open space under Shanks' crotch...
"Mackino, don't agree to them!"
The young people in the village saw that the village beauty Maginot actually invited a group of pirates to the tavern for dinner, and couldn't help but stop her.
"It doesn't matter! I don't think they are bad people! And even if they are bad people, it doesn't matter! After all, don't we still have Capusan? If the village is in danger, Capusan will come to save us.
Right? Isn’t Garp a hero?”
Maginot smiled at the people around her, blowing through everyone's hearts like a spring breeze.
"Mackino is right!"
In an instant, countless young people felt that they were in love.
"The little girl is right!"
The one who reacted at the same time as all the young people was the red-haired pirate sitting on the ground.
"Wake up! Captain Shanks! It seems we can't afford to offend the man they are talking about!"
Behind Shanks, countless crew members shook their captain hard, hoping to wake up their suddenly infatuated captain.
"Um?!"
Only then did Shanks realize that they seemed to have heard an incredible name just now.
"Hey! Village chief, please persuade Maginot!"
Several middle-aged men holding farm tools said softly to a little old man among them who had his hands behind his back.
"Just do what Maginot says! Isn't that nice? Besides, won't they pay for it?"
The little old man walked out of the crowd step by step with his hands behind his back, and slowly came to Shanks.
"You will pay, right? I mean...that red-haired Shanks!"
The little old man stood in front of Shanks and asked softly.
"Um?!"
Shanks' eyes flashed with gleam. He didn't expect that there was anyone in this small village who knew about him.
"Hahaha! Of course we will pay! Are you right? Kids!"
Shanks stood up from the ground, lightly dusted himself off, and then asked the crew behind him.
"Of course! Captain!"
When their captain asked them what to say, the crew members behind him said in unison, very proud of themselves.
"Then let them in!"
The village chief nodded slightly to Shanks, then left with his hands behind his back.
"Isn't he the village chief?!"
"Forget it, we don't care! Don't blame us for spreading ugly words first. If you don't obey the rules, don't blame us for being ruthless. Then you will be left with nothing to eat! Humph! It's true!"
Seeing that the village chief had expressed his stance, they said no more, warned Shanks, and went back to plowing the land with their hoes.
"Ah...it's true."
Shanks felt a little embarrassed when he looked at these villagers. From the beginning to the end, these villagers never wanted to kill them! They are so simple! How can such simple villagers live in a village without a navy stationed there?
Came down?
Shanks did not associate Garp with these village names. After all, Garp was a naval hero, and many villagers would use Garp's name to scare pirates.
Inside the tavern...
A group of pirates were drinking heavily and singing happily. The singing and dancing atmosphere did not make it obvious that they were feared pirates.
"boom!"
"Are you pirates?"
"I'm telling you! I'm not afraid of you at all!"
Just as the red-haired pirates were eating barbecue and singing songs, the door of the tavern was violently pushed open, and a kid who was less than one meter tall and looked about seven or eight years old ran in and faced a group of people.
The pirates shouted.
"..."
In an instant, the originally bustling tavern fell silent, and everyone looked coldly at the pirates who suddenly broke into the tavern.
"puff……"
It wasn't until a certain pirate with bright red hair sitting in the back suddenly couldn't help laughing that the atmosphere became lively again.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"A brat!"
"This is not a place for you as a child. You have to wait until you grow up to come here. You'd better go home and drink milk now!"
Countless pirates laughed loudly at the kid outside the door.
"asshole!"
