I, a Celestial Dragon!

At this moment, the sound of rolling wood was deafening, and the logs crashed towards the nearby villagers!

Luffy was stunned. He was still rubbing his butt in confusion. The moment he saw the logs fall, he immediately shouted to catch them!

But just as Luffy stretched out his hand, the sound of a sword being drawn suddenly came from a distance.

Those madly rolling logs straightened themselves up in the air in front of countless villagers, and delivered themselves to the place where the villagers intended to transport them.

At the same time, behind Gawain, a ray of uncontrolled fire suddenly rushed towards Luffy!

"Hey, Luffy!

I broke the agreement between us because I got on someone else's boat!

But that doesn't matter at all, hahaha, look who this is!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ace's incarnation of flame grabbed Luffy, who had a confused look on his face and eyes widened to cartoon size, and clamped him in his armpits.

Facing the familiar armpit, Luffy seemed to have a lot to say, but as he looked at it, he couldn't say anything anymore!

Tears rolled down his cheeks, and Luffy stared in disbelief at Sabo who was slowly walking out from behind Gawain.

As for Sabo, he first let out a nervous breath, then raised his hand to hold down his hat and gave Luffy a long-lost bright smile.

But he was smiling, but the tears in his eyes were no less than Luffy's...

Chapter 353 Makino's Wine

Time seemed to freeze in Sabo's tears. Along with the sound of flames burning on Ace's body, Luffy looked at Sabo greedily, as if if he looked at him for even one second less, he would never see Sabo again in the future!

Looking at this scene, Gao Wen thought for a moment and waved gently to everyone.

At this point, including Shirahoshi and Chopper, who were moved to tears, everyone tried to remain quiet and quietly moved away from the three of them.

When children are crying not because they are sad, adults should give them enough space, right?

Just like that, under the leadership of Gawain, the group slowly passed through the dazed villagers and swaggered towards the central area in the distance where more people were gathered.

And just as Gawain was passing through the villagers, that was the place they were going to.

Village chief Shilap finally saw everything clearly in the distance.

So he frowned his old eyes and raised his right hand, his arm trembling as if he had a stroke, his mouth opened and closed for a long time, but he couldn't utter a word!

Instead, it was Makino beside him who reacted. Makino covered his chest in surprise.

“That’s Ace?!

And...and the brother of Ace and Luffy back then? ! !

Is he still alive?

He’s still alive!!!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Makino immediately wanted to run towards Luffy and the other two, but as soon as she took a step, she remembered Ace's current identity!

For a moment, Makino calmed down completely. She put down her fingers that were covering her chest, and her hands hung uneasily on both sides of her body, carefully twisting her clothes.

At the same time, her sight shifted from the three Ace people she had met to the approaching Gawain and his party.

Fortunately, in her eyes, Gawain and his companions did not look ferocious.

Even though it was that fierce swordsman with a cigar in his mouth, Makino could see that he had no intention of harming the nearby villagers.

In Makino's tavern, Makino has entertained countless drinkers, including the Pirate Four Emperors Shanks, the Navy hero Garp, and even the famous Bandit King Sig!

In short, Makino's experience and vision have been honed to such a terrifying level by a large group of powerful people of all kinds.

She could sense that Gawain and his group did not come with malicious intent.

But even if he had no ill intentions, Makino was well aware of Gawain's identity, a Celestial Dragon!

So, Makino gently pulled the village chief's sleeve, and then took the lead and knelt down in the direction of Gawain.

In the distance, Gawain noticed Makino's movements and flicked his fingers, causing Makino to stand still.

Then, Gawain easily pinned down the village chief, Slap, there as well.

With this, Gawain passed through the ordinary villagers who had not yet figured out the situation and came in front of Slap and Makino.

Looking at the two people who were unable to move due to mild paralysis, Gao Wen smiled kindly and said.

"Hello, I'm Gao Wen, just an uninvited guy.

But considering that I plan to take the children home for a visit, please forgive my impoliteness."

After he finished speaking, Gawain nodded politely to Slap and Makino.

As soon as Gawain nodded, Makino and the other man immediately took control of the body. At this moment, the village chief was confused and spoke without thinking.

“You you you…?

God? Huh?

Wait, you're going home with the kids?

You are not a celestial dragon, but Sabo's father???

Or are you Ace's biological father...?"

"Hey!"

Seeing that the village chief's words were getting more and more outrageous, Makino quickly pinched the village chief's arm.

"Mr. Village Chief, stop talking nonsense!

This is the Celestial Dragon Master!!!"

After she finished speaking, Makino froze for a moment, trying to decide whether to kneel down again.

Just a moment later, Makino gritted his teeth and straightened his legs!

Since Lord Tianlong used some unknown method to prevent her from kneeling just now.

Well, no matter what, it would be better for me to obey the will of the Celestial Dragons!

Just like that, Makino stood up straight nervously, and at the same time she said to Gawain.

"Respected... the great and sacred Celestial Dragon Lord.

Welcome to the windmill..."

Having said that, Makino paused for a moment, because she suddenly realized that Windmill Village was gone?

If that's the case, why would the Celestial Dragons, who were supposed to have decided to stay in Windmill Village, bring Ace to where their group was staying?

and many more!

He said he was a traveler who was bringing his children home to visit?

Are the kids he's talking about really Ace and Sabo?

And the... children's home he mentioned, actually refers to the group of farmers who took care of the three children until they grew up?

Having guessed this, Makino stared in disbelief, and then she looked at Gawain in disbelief.

When she confirmed the gentleness in Gawain's eyes again, Makino finally let down her guard excitedly.

She changed the subject and started talking to Gao Wen in a completely different tone.

"Master Celestial Dragon, I... I am Makino, welcome to Windmill Village!

Sabo's sudden departure and Ace's previous departure to sea made us miss them both very much.

Now that you have brought them back, many villagers have felt relieved.

As long as you continue to take care of them, we won't have to worry about their safety anymore!"

After he finished speaking, Makino came to Gawain excitedly.

After standing in front of Gawain, Makino looked at Gawain's eyes carefully.

At this moment, Makino saw a tiger smiling in its sleep through the gentle smile on Gawain's face.

The tiger was taking a comfortable rest, and he seemed to be dreaming of his future of galloping across the plains and roaring in the mountains.

But no matter what, the stubbornness and ferocity in Gawain's eyes could not be guessed by Makino, nor could it be easily read by Makino.

All that Makino saw of Gawain was the appearance of a sleeping tiger.

It is a temperament that makes people feel safe.

At the same time, looking at Makino who bowed to him, Gawain nodded slightly.

"It seems that there is someone here who understands me, so hello, Makino.

Ace, Sabo and Luffy, whom they often mention, are still staring at each other, so let's not disturb them.

I noticed that you no longer live in Windmill Village, so do you have a new bar in this current settlement?

Even if you don't have any, that's ok, I can give you some.

Because my purpose of coming to Windmill Village is different from that of the children. What they want is their brother who has been lost for a long time.

All I want is a glass of Machino, haha!!!"

Amidst loud laughter, Gawain stretched out his hand and gently shook hands with the surprised and confused Makino.

At the same time, behind Gawain, Hancock's eyes looked at Makino more and more fiercely.

This murderous aura was immediately noticed by the confused Makino. She shuddered and quickly let go of Gawain's hand.

“Ahem…I…I.

There's no need for you to bring me some wine, I... I still have some whiskey and beer here.

If you don't mind, then of course I'd like to treat you to a drink, you... come with me.

Oh, that's right...

This is Chief Slap!

Village chief, come and meet Master Gawain!!!"

At the end of his incoherent speech, Makino pulled Slap and kept greeting Gawain.

She could accept Gawain's gentle attitude towards her and the villagers. After all, Gawain was the captain that Ace was willing to follow. She knew Ace so well, so she naturally believed that Gawain would not be a bad person.

But even so, words like "I came here just to have a glass of your wine"... these words won't be misunderstood, but they are definitely not easy to forget...

This is really a bit foul...

Just as Makino was pulling the village chief and leading Gawain and his party towards their makeshift beer stand, Gion, who was behind Gawain on the left, also poked Hancock's waist lightly with the hilt of his sword.

Then he leaned over to Hancock's ear and spoke.

"You are really good at being jealous. It seems that apart from Shirahoshi, you are wary of anyone who might get close to Gawain!"

"Humph, even if it's Shirahoshi, she's just not grown up yet. If she's an adult, then I... then I...

Wait, don't bother me, I don't want to bother you!!!"

Snake Princess responded proudly, then she turned her head away with disdain. Looking at the stubborn Snake Princess, Gion lowered his brows and pursed his lips. He was silent for a long time before he finally continued.

“Why don’t you think about it, after all, I was the first one to approach the adults.

If I were as jealous as you, and mentioned every woman around the Master, then maybe even you wouldn't be qualified to be close to the Master."

After he finished speaking, Gion's eyes turned more serious when he looked at Hancock.

On the side, hearing Gion's words, Hancock raised her chin sharply, and her swan-like, perfectly slender neck was proudly displayed in front of Gion.

Meanwhile, Hancock responded proudly.

"So you're trying to get me to learn from you?

As low self-esteem as you are, bunny?

You know it better than me because even you mentioned the word maybe. You know that you are much older than the adults, and once you make up your mind to compete, you just might win!

But I'm different, I don't care whether I win or not!

As for now, I don’t have any jealous thoughts!

I don't care who stands next to Gawain, I just hate any woman next to Gawain except me!
