Pirate: I am King Luffy

"It's getting late, we should go back." Luffy patted Uta on the back and led her back.

"Shanks, Luffy bullied me!"

As soon as she stepped into the tavern, Uta immediately threw herself into the arms of the young red-haired girl with tears in her eyes, rubbing her little head against him.

"Hahaha what did he do?" Shanks asked curiously.

"He is shameless and is competing with me to see who can pee farther..."

Then there was deafening laughter in the bar.

"Don't laugh! Shanks, let's play a game. It's fun..."

Luffy returned to his cabin, where his grandfather, Vice Admiral Garp, was already fast asleep.

It is also because of this man that Luffy is surrounded by an unparalleled sense of security.

Whenever his life was in danger, Garp would appear behind him in flash form.

Of course, if his life was not in danger, Garp would not care no matter how badly Luffy was beaten.

Cap is a very lazy person. Even in his hometown, he will not take action to clean up the environment.

The fact that there are still a large number of bandits in Windmill Village is a good example.

Garp only occasionally kills a few pirates to satisfy his hunger when he's in the mood.

Luffy ate some fruits and went to bed on time. Windmill Village was very poor and there were almost no entertainment activities. Luffy only exercised with his animal friends. He had to use up all his energy before the sun went down in the evening.

Only in this way can I sleep peacefully and forget about my cell phone, computer, games, novels and movies...

Luffy has been living like this all along, and now the arrival of the Red Hair Pirates has unexpectedly injected fresh vitality into Windmill Village.

Garp seemed not to want to meet Red Hair. Even though the entire Windmill Village was in an uproar because of the arrival of the pirates, the sheriff was still hiding in the house and sleeping soundly.

"You and Shanks met?"

Came Cap's voice.

"Ah."

"He's a very interesting pirate."

Karp slowly opened his eyes with a complicated expression.

"No matter how interesting it is, you are still a pirate. You should avoid dealing with him. You want to be a navy."

"Oh, Grandpa, they say pirates are the freest beings in the world, is that true? I want to be a pirate!"

"The freedom to run around like a dog while being chased by the navy?"

Cap rolled over and got out of bed, took a bag of donuts from the drawer, tore them apart, and chewed them in his mouth.

"Luffy has to be a marine."

"Grandpa isn't going to hunt down Shanks?"

"I'm on vacation, and I should eat, drink and have fun on vacation." Karp said as a matter of course.

"Grandpa, you are so free... Can I be as free as you if I join the navy?"

"..."

"Luffy, do you finally want to be a marine?"

Cap was overjoyed.

"No, Grandpa, I want to board Shanks' pirate ship and investigate the world of pirates to see if they are truly free."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can you just board a pirate ship whenever you want?"

Garp grabbed one of Luffy's legs and hung him in the air.

"You are not allowed to go on the pirate's ship."

"Why, isn't Shanks a very good person, everyone in the village likes him very much."

"Grandpa, you know this too, and that's why you don't want to meet Shanks, right?"

Luffy was swaying in the air, not afraid at all of what his grandfather would do to him.

Garp didn't answer about Shanks.

"He's a pirate."

The adults tried to characterize the matter.

Because they are pirates, they are not allowed.

"Then I want to go on the pirates' ship and see how bad they are. That way I can become a marine."

Luffy crossed his arms and said to Garp.

"And, Grandpa, you will protect me, right? Protect me from the pirates."

"I'm curious about what Shanks' life as a pirate is like."

"Grandpa, aren't you curious?" Luffy asked.

"No matter what you say, I won't let you go on the pirate ship, and don't even think about sneaking on it."

Garp reached out and flicked Luffy's head, then laid him on the bed to rest.

The huge pain directly disrupted Luffy's thinking.

Here it comes again. No matter how you attack this guy Garp, he will only feel great mental pain without any physical harm.

"I have to go back to work at the Navy Headquarters the day after tomorrow. Just ask Miss Makino for anything you want to eat."

"Oh~"

(End of this chapter)

4. Chapter 4: Swimming cannot be practiced casually

4.

"Sister Makino, give me some breakfast!"

In the morning, Luffy ran to Makino's bar and shouted at Makino who was already cleaning.

Miss Makino had prepared hot milk, eggs, meat and fruits in front of Luffy.

"Where are Shanks and the others?"

Luffy asked.

Miss Makino's bar is the only entertainment venue in the village, and also serves as a restaurant.

Outsiders, pirates like Shanks, would come to Miss Makino's bar to eat if they didn't cook for themselves.

"They are pirates, Luffy should wait until ten o'clock before coming over."

Miss Makino said gently, very familiar with the pirates' biological clocks.

"That's great. I can't sleep in."

Luffy sighed.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s a kid, but Luffy has a hard time sleeping in. This body is so full of energy that he has to find ways to vent his energy.

"Because Luffy is a child, it's normal for children to be full of energy."

After Luffy finished his breakfast, he began to work off some energy, first by jogging around the island, then doing push-ups and frog jumps, and then going to the fruit shop to get a basket of fruit and play with his animal friends.

Outside the fruit shop, Uta was trading a stack of Baileys with the boss.

"Good morning, Uta."

Luffy greeted Uta as he took the fruit basket and started filling it with fruit.

The climate of the islands in One Piece is eternally unchanging, spring is spring and summer is summer.

Therefore, the variety of fruits here is also messy, with grapes, mangoes, dragon fruits, lychees and a series of other fruits displayed on the shelves.

There is no such thing as a season, and there is no need to worry about climate issues.

"You guy..." Uta couldn't help but stand a little further away when he saw Luffy.

This guy is covered in sweat early in the morning and smells terrible.

Uta, who loves cleanliness, is somewhat disgusted with Luffy.

"Goodbye Uta."

After picking the fruits, Luffy didn't care about this yandere girl and turned away to look for his animal friends.

"Hey, wait... don't you have to pay?" Uta widened his eyes and looked at Luffy, reminding him if he had forgotten any procedure.

"I don't have any money." Luffy looked innocent.

"You have no money, but why do you take so many fruits?" Uta couldn't believe it.

"You are worse than a pirate!"

While handing the Bailey footrest in his hand to the boss, Uta looked down on Luffy.

"Do pirates often pay for things?"

Luffy asked as he took an apple and ate it.

"Of course. We in the Red Hair Pirates always pay for things. No, I should say that most pirates are like this. Only the poor and despicable pirates like to rob the common people."

Uta looked proud and felt that his Red Hair Pirates were quite upper-class.

When he came to his senses, he found that Luffy had already walked away with the fruit basket.

"Hey, are you listening to me, Luffy?"

Uta shouted angrily.

"This guy, doesn't he have any sense of shame?"

"All of Luffy's expenses are charged to his grandfather's account, so it's okay."

The fruit shop owner explained to Uta happily.

"So that's how it is." Uta suddenly realized, and she chased after Luffy with the fruit in her arms.

"Wait for me, Luffy. Let's fight again today. I beat Shanks hard yesterday..."

She still remembered that she was severely beaten by Luffy when playing Tic-Tac-Toe yesterday.

"No time, I want to play with Tyson today."

"Who is Tyson?" Uta walked side by side with Luffy curiously. Her nose had adapted a little to the smell of Luffy's sweat and was no longer disgusted by it.

Besides, she is a pirate. Although she likes cleanliness, she needs to endure the environment on the ship many times.

Uta soon met Tyson.

A gorilla that was already in the forest on the edge of a cliff, showing off its strength to Luffy.

The opponent waved his sandbag-sized fist and pounded his chest muscles, looking very imposing.

Then he reached out for Luffy's fruit basket, tilted his head, and made a gesture as if to give it to me.

"Same old rule, useless gorilla."

Luffy put the fruit basket on the ground and gave the gorilla a wicked smile.

"Is this Tyson?"

Seeing Luffy smile as if he saw his friends, Utaton felt pity, and there was more sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Luffy.

It's so pitiful that no one is friends with this child...

Uta has already imagined Luffy talking to animals every day.

In this case, I will reluctantly be his friend.

Uta thought to herself.

The gorilla pounded his chest and punched Luffy, but the latter took a boxer's stance, dodged, and then punched the gorilla in the eye socket.

Uta saw tears welling up in the gorilla's eyes.
