From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

Otherwise, the Warring States period would be hard to understand.

However, Garp's request was not excessive. Just as Sengoku was about to agree, Kujo Tachibana suddenly interrupted and said:

"How about letting me go to the East Sea to capture the Red Hair Pirates?"

"I just happened to be on vacation, and if I remember correctly, old man Garp, you seem to have a mission now! The G6 branch is still waiting for you to go there and guard it."

As soon as Kujo Tachibana said this, Sengoku and Garp turned around and looked at him.

Zhan Guo was the first to speak:

"Yes! Little Orange is right, Garp, go and carry out your mission! I believe that with Orange's strength, it should be no problem to deal with the Red Hair Group."

Garp frowned, he also had his own secret, which was his eldest grandson Ace, and he also wanted to go back to see how Luffy and Ace were doing.

So Karp refused decisively:

"no!"

"The East Sea is my hometown. Now that Red Hair has appeared in my hometown, a powerful pirate group that the East Sea Navy Branch cannot contend with, how can I still have the heart to carry out the mission?"

Kujo Tachibana laughed when he heard this. How could he not know what the old man Garp was thinking?

He simply wanted to skip work to see his two grandchildren, and he was also concerned that Ace's identity would be exposed.

I saw Jiujo Tachibana followed and said jokingly:

"Old man Garp, how could you forget? I am also from the East China Sea!"

"You, a Donghai native, miss your hometown and have no intention of carrying out the mission. Then shouldn't I, a Donghai native who is taking a break and taking a vacation, go over there?"

"Oh, and your dog-head warship is not as fast as my Cang Long! It will take you ten days or half a month to get there, but if I ride the Cang Long at full speed, it will only take three to four days at most."

Hearing this, Garp's eyes widened like a pair of copper bells, and he looked at Jiujo Tachibana and said loudly and angrily:

"What? The lieutenant generals of the headquarters have been spreading the word that your Soryu warship is fast!"

"But I didn't expect it to be so fast! Could it be that you are really the biological son of Zhan Guo? All the good things were given to you first, right?"

"Zhan Guo!" Without waiting for the two to explain, Garp yelled, then looked at his old friend Zhan Guo and cursed:

"You hypocritical old man, you are ruining the discipline of the navy!"

"I don't care. You have to arrange a ship for me when we come back!"

After saying this, Garp pulled Kujo Tachibana's arm and left Sengoku's office.

Only the "wise general" Zhan Guo was left sitting in his office with a confused look on his face.

Wait, what right does that old man Garp have to say that I have ruined the discipline of the navy?

Isn't he the one who least abides by naval discipline?

It was not until this time that Zhan Guo reacted, but the two had already run away...

Chapter 55: Destiny's Devil Fruit

At the port of Marine Headquarters Marinford, Kujo Tachibana brought Garp and his adjutant Bogart to their own warship, the Soryuu.

Despite Garp's constant urging, Kujo Tachibana did not waste any time and asked the sailors to increase the speed of the Soryu warship to the maximum, as the weather was too good and they were sailing against the wind.

(A sailboat can sail faster against the wind by adjusting the angle of its sail.)

It took only two and a half days to reach the East China Sea. After arriving in the East China Sea, there was no delay along the way. The Canglong went straight to Fengche Village...

-

On this day, in the tavern of Windmill Village, a group of pirates were seen eating meat and drinking happily while singing and dancing.

Yes, this group of pirates are none other than the Red Hair Pirates who previously roamed the Grand Line.

There was a red-haired young man wearing a straw hat and with three claw marks on his left eye. He was holding a wine glass and handing it to the young and beautiful proprietress Makino in front of him.

Said: "Beautiful Miss Makino, please give me another glass of rum."

But at this moment, Luffy, the original protagonist of our One Piece comics, finally made his debut!

Next to Shanks, there was a little boy who was about seven or eight years old. The boy was at his most naughty at this moment, which could be seen from the bandage on the boy's face.

"Shanks, I'm not afraid of getting hurt. Please take me with you on the next voyage! I really want to be a pirate!" The little boy Luffy grabbed Shanks' arm and said loudly.

However, when Shanks heard this, he immediately glared and loudly refuted:

"Stop talking nonsense! How can you cut yourself with a knife without feeling any pain?"

"Don't do stupid things like this again, Luffy!"

"Besides, I don't need a landlubber like you on my ship. How can a landlubber be a good pirate?"

Shanks' face was full of sarcasm when he said this.

But how could the iron-headed little Luffy change his mind so easily?

Little Luffy took a deep breath, looked at Shanks and shouted in a louder voice:

"Who says a landlubber can't be a pirate?"

"No one can stop a man from going out to sea! Everyone has the right to go out to sea on this ocean!"

"A landlubber can go out to sea, as long as I don't fall into the water! And I'm a good fighter! My fists are like guns!"

Little Luffy said as he waved his little fist...

This just made all the pirates in the room burst into laughter.

Only Shanks was watching the brat's performance with his chin supported by his arm in boredom.

But none of Shanks' crew members remained quiet, and they all started to make a noise:

"Boss Shanks! I think Luffy's brain is quite useful, why don't we take him out to sea?"

"Yeah! Yeah! I also like this little brat Luffy... He can eat just like me." Cadre Lakilu agreed while gnawing on a big pork leg.

Hearing this, Shanks couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't know how these people knew that Luffy was smart?

Luffy is an idiot...

Shanks thought about it, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Luffy can get on board if he wants!"

"Whoever of you is willing to get off the boat, make room for Luffy."

As soon as Shanks said this, the crew members immediately started laughing and hugging each other and continued drinking.

No one mentioned letting Luffy on board again.

"You're too young, kid. You'll have to wait another ten years if you want to become a pirate!" Shanks took a sip of the rum in the glass, looked at little Luffy and said with a smile.

"Hmph! I'm not a hungry kid..." But who would have thought that before little Luffy could finish his words, his hand naturally took the juice handed to him by Shanks.

He drank it with a smile...

"Hahahaha...you still say you're not a child? What pirate would drink juice?" Shanks covered his stomach with his hands and laughed unscrupulously.

Hearing this, the red-haired pirate crew members in the tavern also burst into laughter.

Luffy: ...

Little Luffy put down the cup in anger, turned around and was about to leave.

But at this moment, the second-in-command Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates, who was lighting a fire nearby, spoke to comfort him:

"Little Luffy, you have to understand our boss's feelings!"

"Being a pirate is very joyful, but the boss also knows best how hard and dangerous it is to be a pirate."

"He didn't mean to dampen your passion for pirates. When you grow up, you'll understand that the world of pirates is not just a child's play..."

"No! Shanks is just playing tricks on me!" Little Luffy shouted at Beckman unconvinced.

Sure enough, at this moment Shanks mocked Luffy for being a landlubber.

Fortunately, at this time, the beautiful young lady proprietress Makino came out to smooth things over:

"Luffy, what do you want to eat today?"

Luffy ordered a bowl of white rice with shining eyes, then sat anxiously at the bar next to Shanks, knife and fork in hand, waiting.

"Little Luffy, are you eating and drinking for free?" Bored Shanks started teasing the silly boy Luffy again.

But Luffy said seriously, "I will become a pirate, and I will pay you back after I find the treasure."

Although this statement caused laughter once, no one mocked Luffy's idea of ​​becoming a pirate again.

Just as Luffy finished his rice, he picked up a piece of exotic fruit with patterns on it from the bar and was about to have some fruit after the meal.

The door of the tavern was kicked open by someone!

I saw the leader had a long knife wrapped around his waist, two scars on his forehead, and a faint mustache.

The leader named Sigma looked at the pirates in the tavern and questioned them first:

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you guys pirates? You came to my territory, Sigma, without even saying hello?"

"Yeah! We just came here to have a drink, friend. We hope we didn't disturb you." Shanks raised his hand and said with a smile.

"Humph." Sigma snorted coldly, but didn't say much. He just walked quickly to the bar counter, looked at the proprietress Makino and said:

"Bring out all the drinks. I'm going to treat you guys to a good drink today."

But Makino said in embarrassment:

"I'm so sorry! The drinks in Boss Sigma's tavern are sold out..."

At this time, Shanks, who was sitting next to him, generously picked up the whole bottle of rum beside him and invited Sigma:

"Why don't we sit down and have a drink together, my friend?"

Sigma snorted with disdain, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the bottle handed to him by Shanks and hit the red-haired boy in the face. The bottle exploded and the wine spilled all over the floor in an instant.

Suddenly, the crowd in the tavern became alert.

Luffy, who was about to eat some fruit, was shocked. He swallowed the fruit before he could even taste it...

However, Sigma, the man nicknamed the Bandit King, still shouted without knowing whether to live or die:

"Hey, hey, hey! A mere pirate? What do you take me for? You think you can fool me with a bottle of wine? My head is worth eight million berries!"

"I once killed fifty-six minions like you!"

Chapter 56 A story of major changes

The tavern in Donghai Windmill Village suddenly became silent.

Just when Sigma was feeling proud of himself, a secret Den Den Mushi on Shanks, who was drunk, started to ring.

It made a series of sounds that were different from the usual Den Den Mushi sounds.

Shanks' brows furrowed instantly, and he stood up and prepared to go outside the tavern to find a relatively quiet place to answer the Den Den Mushi call.

But how could Sigma let go of this cowardly pirate so easily?

"Hey, hey, hey! You stinky pirate, who told you to leave without my permission?"

After saying this, Sigma drew the long sword from his waist and pointed it at Shanks beside him.

"Are you gambling with your life? Since you have chosen to draw the sword, you must be mentally prepared to be killed. Are you aware of this?" As soon as these words came out, Shanks looked back and shot a sharp look at Sigma.

At the same time, Shanks also controlled his own domineering aura and swept it very accurately. The next second, the tavern was like dumplings being dropped into the ground, and the bandit king Sigma and a dozen of his little Karami fell to the ground one after another.

"Lakilu, throw these bandits out! Remember not to cause trouble to Miss Makino again."

"Don't worry, my captain." The fat man Lakilu was seen gnawing on a pig's trotter in one hand and saying with a smile.

Shanks nodded when he saw this, and then quickly left the tavern.

Arrived at the woods behind the tavern.

"Hello..." Shanks had just answered the Den Den Mushi and said only one word when a majestic voice came from the other side, interrupting Shanks' words.

"Fergaland St. Shanks, what do you want to do?"

"Leave Windmill Village immediately! Navy hero Garp and Navy Admiral Canglong are on their way."

"Garp has never been very obedient. My people can't stop him for long... Go!"

After saying this, the mysterious purple-striped Den Den Mushi was hung up by the visitor.
