One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 816 Ignited Drinks

Looking at the old hunter mixing two cups of honey water, Shanks couldn't help but say to the old hunter.

"Old man, you are really old. In the past, there was never anything other than wine on your wine cabinet. Now there is milk and honey. Do you think it is good for your health?"

Shanks' words were a joke, but also a serious one. The old hunter's mental state had indeed declined a lot compared to when he came last year, which made Shanks couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Go to hell with you. I'm not old enough to be unable to move. The milk is for the kids next door who came over to play. The honey was given by an old friend of mine. I was too lazy to clean it up, so I just put it in the wine cabinet. Anyway, thanks to the little girl's father, my wine cabinet has not been full yet, so it doesn't matter."

The old hunter rolled his eyes at Shanks. This kid was still speechless as always. How could a tough guy like him admit that he was old? But then again, he did feel a lot weaker recently. It seemed that he would have to close down for a while.

"Old man, any more? More?"

Yamato was holding a wine glass and talking to the old hunter. It was not that she had learned to change the subject, but she simply had no wine. This wine tasted really good. Although it was not as strong as the wine brewed by her mother, it had a different kind of mellow aroma.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, my pub may not be big, but it will have plenty of alcohol. What do you want to drink this time? Vodka? Soju? Sake? Rum?"

Yamato's words instantly pulled the old hunter out of his original state of being old, and he asked with a smile, "Yes, anyway, I don't go out to sea to hunt pirates now, I can just work slowly in this tavern. Anyway, the money I have is enough to live happily for ten lifetimes, and I don't have to worry about money problems. Every day I see all kinds of people coming to me, and it's nice to have someone to talk to. Besides, the neighbors' children are not afraid of me anymore. Compared with the weird old man in the eyes of the neighbors, I am much better now."

"Then... let's have some!"

After hesitating for a while, Yamato decided not to choose and just took them all.

“Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! It’s not good to be too greedy, but today we can do it. It just so happens that I have a lot of wine that I want to try, so let’s start with this bottle of vodka! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!”

The old hunter smiled and picked up a transparent bottle. The clear wine inside looked like water. In addition, Yamato noticed an inconspicuous signature on the bottle label - brewed by the Woka Kingdom.

"Is this wine from the Woka Kingdom?"

Yamato said in surprise.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, you have a good eye. Yes, this is the wine of the Woka Kingdom. It is said that the situation there changed a few years ago. It's a good thing that it changed. The wine produced there has been getting worse and worse in recent years. Now that a new king has been appointed, the wine has become better again. Come and try it. This was the first batch of wine they re-produced at that time. I've tasted it. It's very good. I specially kept a bottle."

The old hunter said with a smile.

"Hey, hey, hey, old man, you can't be partial. You know I like vodka the best. Let me have a drink too."

At this time, a guy wearing a cowboy hat and with countless muskets hanging around his waist came over, handed over the cup with a flattering smile and said.

"Dadi, you little brat owe me a lot of money for drinks, when will you pay me back?"

Looking at the person coming, the old hunter said unhappily, but still poured some wine into Dadi's glass and said.

"As soon as possible, as soon as possible, old man, you also know that the pirates who came to our Rogue Town recently are not the kind of guys who cause trouble. According to the regulations, pirate hunters are not allowed to hunt down pirates who are not causing trouble and are not extremely vicious. Isn't there anything I can do about this?"

Dadi, from now on he will be called Dadi with the child, the one who developed a demon after competing with Jesus Bu. Because of the butterfly effect, he did not compete with Jesus Bu, and he would not do that now. After all, Jesus Bu was also a famous pirate, and the name of the sniper Jesus Bu was now known all over the world. Dadi recognized Shanks and others when they came in, but this time he did not have the idea of ​​provoke them. After all, the rules of Rogue Town are different now. If a pirate hunter like him who needs to rely on bounties to make a living cannot establish a good relationship with the navy, then no matter how much work he does, he will not get the bounty. "Huh, then why are you still staying here with me instead of working at the dock? There have been a lot of things happening in the East China Sea recently. It is possible that some vicious guy will come to Rogue Town for the final supplies. One head is usually enough for you to pay off the debt, but in the end you still stay here with me every day?"

The old hunter said unhappily. He actually looked down on the hunters who waited for prey on the island every day. He didn't like this kind of behavior of waiting for prey. In comparison, he preferred his past hunting mode, like a cruel lone wolf, biting the target he chose from behind, and making the opponent collapse through constant pressure. Until he cut off the head of the opponent, he still maintained a look of fear. This was a hunter, and the kind of waiting for prey to jump into the trap designed by himself could only be said to be cheating.

However, having said that, the old hunter also knows that being a pirate hunter is very troublesome nowadays. The navy's control over the four seas is getting stronger and stronger. Pirates who have not committed any major crimes will be ignored, while pirates who have committed major crimes will be frantically besieged by the navy. The opportunities left for pirate hunters are becoming fewer and fewer.

"Aren't we here to rest? Phew! Good wine! Okay, old man, I'm going to the dock first. I'll pay you back as soon as possible. I never break my promise!"

Dadi put down his glass, adjusted his hat and walked out.

"If you can't do it, then find a class. There are so many jobs in Rogue Town now. If you can't do it, I'm short of a porter here. I can provide you with food and drink for a month."

The old hunter shouted to Duddy as he was leaving.

"Let's talk about it later, old man! I still like the feeling of being a hunter. I will come to you when I can't do it anymore!"

Dadi smiled, turned around and pushed the door open. Shanks, Yamato and the others just watched quietly. No one spoke. They didn't have the habit of disturbing others when they were talking.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all. Pirate hunters are having a harder and harder time these days. This guy is one of the few people in Rogue Town who is still holding on. I have to say a few more words to you, old man."

After the old hunter watched Dadi leave, he turned and said to Shanks, Yamato and the others.

"Indeed, there are fewer and fewer pirate hunters in recent years. I remember when Roger's pirate group was here, there were pirate hunters on almost every island, but now it's hard to see them. It seems that Dadi is the only one I've seen this year, right?"

Shanks asked, looking at Buggy beside him.

"It's been more than a year, almost two years. The last time I saw him was on an unknown island in the North Sea. The hunter was a person who was involved in a shipwreck and was stranded on an unknown island."

Bucky said.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Come on! Your ceremony isn't complete yet, is it? Let's toast again!"

The old hunter poured the wine, and after pouring the last bit of the wine into the cup with the candle, he spoke to everyone.

"Cheers!"XN
In this way, the second glass of wine was drunk, and then the third, the fourth, until after who knows how many glasses, the bar was already filled with various wine bottles. Except for a few individuals, all were drunk and staggering. The wine glass with the burning candle was already filled with various colored wines, and the candle had burned to the same level as the wine. Slowly, they finally met.

"call!"

The candle ignited the wine, but the candle itself was also extinguished by the wine. The wine in the glass continued to burn, and the high-proof alcohol mixed from various kinds of wine burned rapidly. Finally, the alcohol was burned out, and the night was deep. The crowd said goodbye to the old hunter and walked away, leaving the old man alone to clean up the mess around him.

"A pretty good bunch of guys, aren't they, Roger?" The old hunter said with a smile, looking at the wine that had become as good as water.
