There were a lot of people at the dock, and everyone was skeptical when Luffy said that.
After all, it would be ridiculous if he could obtain an ability just by opening the can.
"Mr. Karp, what do you think?" Makino said as she looked at Karp, who was beside Luffy.
Everyone in Windmill Village knew that Karp was a powerful navy officer who had been to many places and had seen many things.
"I'm not sure if Luffy is telling the truth. There are too many mysterious places in this world, just like the Devil's Fruit!”
"Actually, this old master's main purpose for coming here is to investigate whether Luffy is telling the truth. Let's go and take a look together. It doesn't matter if we drive it or not.”
Karp wasn't sure if Luffy was telling the truth.
It wasn't that Luffy was lying. He was just afraid that Luffy would be used by someone with ulterior motives.
Things that could temporarily give people abilities still existed in this world, such as hypnosis!
He couldn't rule out the possibility that the jar merchant was using some kind of demonic fruit to stimulate Luffy's potential, allowing him to explode in strength for a short period of time.
"I'll go too!" Seeing that everyone wanted to go over and check, Maqinuo gritted her teeth and followed.
"Luffy, are you sure it's the ship in front? It looked ordinary and nothing special!”Ace looked at the broken ship parked at the dock in front of him and complained.
"Ace, that's not a broken boat. Big brother is amazing!”Now, Luffy's admiration for Lin Dong was no less than Shanks ', and he couldn't help but retort when he heard Ace badmouthing Lin Dong.
"But, it is indeed very ordinary…"
Ace didn't expect Luffy to have such a big reaction just because he casually complained. He didn't dare to say anything more and could only complain softly.
"Hahaha, alright, alright, stop arguing. We'll know when we go over and take a look!”
Seeing that the two brothers were going to argue again, Sabot quickly stood up and acted like a good old man.
"Hahaha, this ship is indeed not ordinary. Let's go!”
The few of them had poor eyesight and couldn't tell that this ship was fake. Even Karp, who had traveled all over the world, could still tell that although Lin Dong's ship looked tattered, the material used to make it was extraordinary.
The luxury of the cabin was not inferior to those big ships he had seen before, which made him even more curious about Lin Dong's identity.
Seeing that Karp had said so, the few of them naturally did not dare to look down on this broken ship.
Seeing this, Luffy was also full of pride.
There was nothing more comforting than someone praising their idol!
Inside the cabin, Lin Dong was eating and drinking the food provided by the system, lying on a chair and admiring the scenery outside.
Since he was already in the world of pirates, he had to take a good look at the scenery here. If he treated work as a vacation, he wouldn't feel so tired.
What a pity. It would be perfect if he had two more beauties by his side!
"Big brother, are you there? I'm back!"
While Lin Dong was enjoying the beautiful scenery, Luffy's tender voice came from outside the cabin.
"Heh heh, he's here!"
Hearing Luffy's voice, Lin Dong was delighted. He had never doubted Luffy's ability to attract customers for him.
First of all, Luffy was very likable in Windmill Village. Second, as a navy vice admiral, Karp would definitely come to investigate when he saw Luffy bring back such a strange thing!
As expected, when Lin Dong came out of the cabin, he saw the tall and burly Karp with a crew cut and a beard!
To Lin Dong's surprise, other than Karp, Luffy had brought four other people with him.
If he remembered correctly, the two kids on the left should be Luffy's sworn brothers, Ace and Sabot!
The other two should be the village chief of Windmill Village and the tavern owner, Makino!
Today, Makino was wearing a red shirt, and her short green hair looked especially alluring under the headscarf. Seeing Lin Dong observing her, Makino blushed slightly.
"Are you the owner of the jar that Luffy mentioned?”
As Lin Dong observed the crowd, Ace frowned and asked.
It was no wonder that Ace suspected Lin Dong's identity. After all, according to Luffy's description, Lin Dong should be a very mysterious and capable person. But now that he saw Lin Dong's ordinary appearance, he couldn't help but suspect that Lin Dong's jar could really produce something so magical.
"Of course, I'm Lin Dong, the owner of this merchant ship. The main goods on board are these mysterious terrines!”
When he first saw them, Lin Dong introduced himself in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"My name is Sabot, nice to meet you, Mr. Lin Dong!”
Seeing Lin Dong introduce himself, Sabot was the first to respond. He even bowed to Lin Dong after he was done, looking very cultured.
This made Lin Dong's impression of him increase greatly. As expected of someone who had learned noble etiquette since he was young.
"Hello Mr. Lin Dong, my name is Makino!”Sabot had just finished speaking when Makino, who was beside him, also introduced herself with a red face.
"I'm Karp, the grandfather of Brother Luffy and Ace!”Compared to the previous two, Karp was more carefree.
He didn't have the overbearing aura that Lin Dong had imagined. If Lin Dong hadn't seen One Piece before, he would have thought that he was just an ordinary old man.
"My name is Ace!" Ace nodded slightly as a greeting to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong knew Ace's personality, so he didn't take it to heart.
" Hello, Mr. Lin Dong, I'm the village chief of Windmill Village, Slapu." After the few of them finished introducing themselves, the village chief, Slapu, followed up.
"Are you here to open the jar?”
After the introductions, Lin Dong began to ask about the purpose of their visit.
This was also what he was most concerned about. He did not want to stay in Windmill Village for the rest of his life.
