I, a Celestial Dragon!

This...is really relevant to today's world..."

After saying that, Sabo lowered his head in silence. He seemed to see the umbrella held in the hands of countless people.

In this world, there are many people who are barely surviving on the little that slips through the hands of the nobles.

Those people may be farmers or small individual business owners.

They held up umbrellas with difficulty, trying to keep themselves dry in the heavy rain.

The heavy rain continued all day long, and they could only continue holding the umbrella in their hands... which was sold by the umbrella seller.

The umbrella seller lets people know that without an umbrella, they cannot walk in the rain.

They also let people know that without an umbrella, they are not qualified to blend in with the crowd.

They even guide people from generation to generation, making people feel fortunate and satisfied for having just an umbrella.

In this way, people gradually forgot that having an umbrella or not should not be the key to whether the day is dry or not.

Isn't the key whether it rains or not?

The villagers of Windmill Village in front of him had their hands full of umbrellas sold by the umbrella seller before Gawain decided to come.

But once the umbrella seller controls the rain, it exceeds the umbrella's capacity to withstand.

Then, the Windmill Village disappeared in an instant...

Their umbrellas can't stop the heavy rain, and the ones who decide how heavy the rain is are the ones who sell umbrellas...

Thinking of this, Sabo slowly clenched his fists.

He felt that perhaps Gawain's identity as an uncle was too inconsistent with the revolutionary army's pursuits.

But we have to admit that sometimes, Uncle Gawain is indeed doing something beneficial to the world...

The Revolutionary Army's goal is to overthrow Marijoa and defeat the high-ranking Celestial Dragons who can easily manipulate rain and celestial phenomena!

But the "Dragon" here should not be a noun, but an adjective.

It's more used to describe evil in fairy tales, isn't it?

While Sabo's mind was in a mess and he was thinking, Gawain continued his words.

After a brief pause, he continued to wave to Ace.

"My words always take root. I want to bring sunshine to Windmill Village, and that day is just around the corner.

Don't worry, Ace.

Lucci is already dealing with those damn nobles in Windmill Village.

Even if you get involved, the speed won't increase much.

So, now is the time to spend some time with the villagers who raised you and have a couple of drinks.

Makino is very worried about you."

“I…I…?!!”

On the other side, Ace hesitated and frowned as he listened to Gawain's words.

He thought about it again and again, and finally nodded heavily.

"Okay then, I'll listen to you, uncle!

In short, if Brother Lu Qi can't handle it, then I will definitely give them a good beating!

Damn it, they actually dared to demolish my old home!!!

What the fuck!!!”

After cursing fiercely, Ace rushed to Gawain unhappily and snatched Gawain's wine.

After taking a deep sip, Ace first let out a long breath, and then he sat down next to Gawain.

Just as he sat down, Makino looked at him with a little surprise.

If Makino hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn't imagine that Ace and Gawain were so close that they could just grab each other's wine and drink it!

However, recalling what Gawain had just said, Makino was no longer shocked.

On the contrary, she even understood Ace a little.

The decision was made very decisively, which was to restore sunshine to Windmill Village!

This kind of person...seems really suitable to be a friend!

But...even if they have a good relationship, Ace shouldn't be like this.

Where are the manners I taught him?

Was it eaten by the sea breeze?

Thinking of this, Makino came up to Ace and looked at him fiercely.

"Ace-kun, long time no see, it looks like you've picked up your swearing again!"

"Uh……"

Facing Makino's accusation, Ace smiled awkwardly, then he quickly pointed his finger at Sabo.

Ace said as he shook his finger.

"Sister Makino, now is not the time to talk about this, right?

Look, Sabo is back!

This is the top priority today, isn't it? My things are just small matters.

Or you can continue to scold me tomorrow?

Please give me some face today, big sister!"

After he finished speaking, Ace looked up and gave Makino a flattering smile.

Seeing this, Makino really didn't know what to say, so she turned and came to Sabo.

Looking at Sabo, who looked a little shy and whose eyes were full of nostalgia, Makino sighed with emotion.

"You've suffered a lot, Sabo. The past has left many scars on you."

After saying that, Makino looked at Sabo's face with reluctance. The marks of burns were clearly visible on his face.

Looking at those marks, Makino could fully imagine how much suffering Sabo had endured.

For a moment, Makino pursed his lips and handed the wine in his hand to Sabo.

"It's my fault, Sabo, after not seeing you for a long time, even I was a little too happy.

It's such a happy day, we shouldn't bring up those topics that would spoil the fun.

Come on, come quickly, let's have a few drinks together.

When you were kids, you always liked to steal alcohol to drink, but you could never steal much, nor could you drink much.

Now that you are grown up, you can drink more!"

After he finished speaking, Makino looked at the wine in Sabo's hand and gave him an encouraging look.

On the opposite side, Sabo nodded heavily, then drank the wine in his hand with red eyes.

At the same time, behind Sabo, Luffy, who was only 1.55 meters tall at the moment, looked over with envy.

As he watched, he muttered expectantly.

“That’s great, you can all drink now, Sabo and Ace!

Drinking like this makes you look like a pirate!

I usually want to drink it, but my elder sister never agrees!

Ahhhh, when will I be seventeen?

I also want to drink a lot of wine, eat a lot of meat, and then sail freely on the sea like a pirate!!!"

Luffy said this depressedly, looking to the side depressedly, his eyes fixed on Gawain.

The next moment, he instantly forgot about the depression of not being able to drink. He suddenly jumped in front of Gawain, then he crossed his legs and landed on the ground, and spoke to Gawain curiously and excitedly.

"Oh, haha, I seem to have forgotten to thank my benefactor!

You are Uncle Gawain, right?

Ace and Sabo said that they were able to meet each other because of your care.

Thank you so much, Uncle Gawain!!!"

After he finished speaking, Luffy grinned and bowed heavily to Gawain.

Next to Gawain, Hancock narrowed her eyes oddly at Luffy's serious look.

"Gawain~."

She said to Gawain in confusion.

“I don’t know if you feel that after seeing this boy, I suddenly feel a little happy?

Is this some kind of fruit ability, or is it that even I can be infected by the joy of children?"

"Oh?"

Hearing Hancock's words, Gawain was slightly stunned, then he frowned and looked at Luffy.

At the same time, the executives around him all looked at Luffy.

After a moment, Yixiao nodded heavily and said.

"Miss Hancock is very perceptive, that's exactly what happened.

Although I can't see, but just listening to the child's voice, I feel an unconscious sense of relief.

This feeling is so faint that if you hadn't mentioned it specifically, I might have just thought of it as something interesting that I remembered.

This feeling is very special!"

"That's right!"

As soon as Yixiao finished speaking, Crocodile on the side couldn't help but interrupt him.

“I don’t know what everyone thinks, but I know that people like me rarely feel happy!

But just now, I inexplicably imagined the scene of the future.

I seem to see the beautiful scene of me following in your footsteps and taking control of the whole world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Crocodile's facial features became tense. He was worried that he might have been affected by some strange fruit.

At the same time, Rayleigh, who was not far away, suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment!

Xia Qi was the first to see Rayleigh's look, so she tightened her fingers around the cigarette.

I just heard her ask Rayleigh.

"This ability that makes people feel a little happy for no apparent reason...

Rayleigh, could this be... that fruit?"

"It should be!"

Rayleigh responded simply, then he stood up and walked towards Luffy who was sitting in front of Gawain and grinning foolishly.

At this time, Luffy was still looking at Gawain's face. He planned to remember the face of his benefactor!

This person is the benefactor who brought Sabo back into his life!

Although he doesn't seem to need my reward now, when I become the Pirate King in the future, I must give him a part of the treasure!

Only in this way can I repay his kindness!

Just as Luffy was thinking this, Rayleigh had already come behind Luffy. Rayleigh stretched out his hand, pinched Luffy's ear and pulled it gently.

Suddenly, Luffy's ears and half of his face were deformed along with Rayleigh's movements. He was like a ball of extremely soft plasticine, and his entire face was stretched...

From a distance, after seeing this scene, Uta couldn't help but slap his forehead.

"Oh, this guy, I haven't seen him for many years, and he still looks so silly!"

After he finished speaking, Uta waved to Luffy.
