A commotion came from a tavern at the edge of Windmill Village. A group of villagers gathered in the distance and looked at the tavern worriedly.
"Are Makino and Luffy alright?”
"Yes, although these pirates are very kind, they are pirates after all.”
"Yeah, I'm really worried."
While the villagers were worried, the village chief stood up and said,"Alright, stop guessing. Makino and Luffy would be fine, so the pirates would be handled by them.”
"You guys can leave."
The village chief chased the villagers away as he spoke. He stayed here for a while and confirmed that the noise in the tavern was as noisy as ever. Then, he suppressed his worry and left.
Seeing how familiar Luffy was with the pirates and how they recognized each other as friends, the village chief knew that the pirates would not harm the villagers, let alone Luffy.
The village chief was worried that Karp would find out about Luffy and the pirate becoming friends. He didn't know how to explain it. Karp had always wanted Lu Fei to become a navy officer.
If Luffy had come into contact with this group of pirates and wanted to be a pirate, Karp would definitely be very angry.
"Grandpa is in the navy. If grandson is a pirate, then what is this?”
The village chief sighed. He did not know that other than the navy and pirates, there would be a revolutionary army behind them. In this way, the three generations of grandfather and grandson occupied the three camps of the pirate king, namely the navy, the pirates, and the revolutionary army.
"Yohehehe, yohehehe."
"Yohehehe, yohehehe."
Binks 'fine wine, the song that pirates sang at banquets, echoed in the tavern. The members of the Red-Haired Pirates were singing loudly, and Luffy's small body was also standing on the bar counter and singing along. His voice was young and not pleasant to hear, but he was undoubtedly singing very attentively.
"Luffy, those newspapers hanging on the wall and the bounty are all about Fisher Tiger, right? Do you care about him?”
Shanks finished his song, drank a mouthful of wine, and asked the question he had been concerned about since he entered the tavern.
"Fisher Tiger."
" The first hero in history to free slaves," Luffy said bluntly." People who yearn for freedom admire him, don't they?"”
Shanks laughed." You're right. I admire him too. Cheers to the hero, Fisher Tiger."”
"Oh, cheers."
The crew responded in unison. Luffy took out a small bottle from somewhere and clinked glasses with it.
"No, Luffy, you're still young. You can't drink.”
Seeing that Luffy was about to get what he wanted and take a sip of wine, Makino appeared at the critical moment. She did not care about Shanks 'presence and snatched the small bottle of wine.
In fact, when she first saw Shanks and the others, Makino was very afraid. When she saw Luffy beside a group of pirates, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
After Luffy's reassurance and seeing Shanks and the rest's friendly faces, Makino finally felt relieved.
"Today is such a happy day, let me have a taste," Luffy pleaded.”
" No, you can't." Makino shook her head and refused." You're still young. Drinking is harmful to your body."”
No matter how Luffy begged, Makino would not budge. If he didn't pay attention, he would let Lu Fei steal some wine to drink. Under her own eyes, Makino was determined not to let Luffy drink.
"Hahaha, Lady Boss did the right thing. Why would a brat drink wine? Fruit juice was what a brat should drink.”Shanks handed Luffy's juice with a strange smile.
"Shanks, you're not a good friend."”
"Is that so?" Shanks said innocently," It's not that I'm not a friend. If you're a kid, you should drink juice. Don't you think so, everyone?"”
"Yes."
"Luffy hasn't grown up yet, he should drink juice.”
The pirates were blindly jeering. They even raised the wine in their hands and pretended to drink in large gulps, exclaiming that it was good wine.
"These bastards."
Luffy was furious, but Makino did not allow him to drink. He could only pick up the fruit juice and drink it as if it was wine.
Seeing that Luffy had given up on drinking, Makino went to deliver the wine to the pirates.
"Lady Boss, you're so beautiful."
"Lady Boss, do you have a boyfriend?”
"How about you choose me as your boyfriend? I'm very powerful."
The pirate who spoke did not have any bad intentions. It was just that the alcohol had kicked in and he was habitually teasing her.
Maqinuo's gentle smile did not change. After delivering the wine, she left, ignoring the teasing words and showing no intention of opening her mouth.
Luffy would not remain silent. He shouted angrily,""You bastards, Sister Makino belongs to me. Shut your stinky mouths.”
The scene fell silent. Makino's face was red, and she blamed Luffy in her heart. How could he say such things in front of so many people?
"Hahaha, Luffy has really grown up.”
"Yeah, you know how good women are at such a young age.”
The tavern, which had been silent for a moment, became noisy again. Obviously, no one believed him, not even Shanks.
"Hey, what I said is true."
It was a very plain statement, but Luffy's slightly revealed domineering look and the fact that he was using his mouth to escape made people agree with Luffy's words for no reason.
More importantly, Makino, who had been blushing all this while, did not retort.
At this point, the scene fell silent again.
"So it's really the lady boss. Lady boss, I apologize for those bastards 'teasing.”It was Shanks who broke the silence. He believed her and bowed to Magineau.
"Ah, I apologize too."
"Me too. I'm sorry, Lady Boss.”
"I drank a little too much. Don't take what I said to heart, Lady Boss.”
"No, don't be like this. I didn't take those words to heart.”Makino's hands and feet were in a mess. Her face was flushed to the side of her ears, and her heart was beating faster.
Although she was no longer resisting Luffy, Luffy's outspoken words in front of so many pirates still made Makino feel so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole.
"There's not much wine left. I'll go to the wine cellar to get some.”
Faced with so many people's gazes, Makino could not stand it anymore. She threw down a reason and hurriedly left.
After Makino left, the pirates looked at Luffy with strange gazes. Shanks put his arm around Luffy's shoulder and said,""Tell me, how did you do it? You're so young, but you managed to woo such a gentle lady boss.”
" You won't understand even if I tell you," Luffy said disdainfully." A single dog like you will never understand."”
Shanks 'heart felt like it had been pierced by an arrow. His body turned pale. The word' single dog 'had given him an endless blow.
"I'm also single."
"Me too. I really envy Luffy. He found a girlfriend at such a young age.”
"How do you think a child and a teenage girl sleep at night?”
Desire, exploration, and strange gazes focused on Luffy. Even Shanks, who had been struck down, curiously moved to Luffy's side.
Luffy felt his scalp go numb from all these gazes. He shouted,""Put away those strange thoughts in your hearts. I won't tell you about those things.”
"Oh…"
With Luffy's rejection, they couldn't force him, so they could only focus on the banquet. Throughout the entire process, no one cared about the age difference between the two of them or whether they were suitable to be together.
They were free pirates. If they liked it, they could do it. There was nothing to be shy about. That was why Luffy could find such a gentle and cute girl, but they were still single.
Oh my god!
As the banquet continued, seeing that Makino had yet to bring the wine up, Luffy understood what was going on and walked towards the wine cellar in the basement.
