Start with Seshomaru form, the strongest ship deputy among all beasts

"You know the Whitebeard Pirates, right? They had a grudge with the two allies, which led to the death of the former world's strongest man, Whitebeard, and the rest of the pirates hid in the East China Sea and dared not show up!"

"real or fake?"

Uta looked at Lin Lei's receding back in confusion, unable to believe that such a good-looking boy could be the person Jesus Bu was talking about.

"it is true!"

The red-haired man nodded solemnly.

Now, Uta no longer had any doubts.

Shanks had never lied to her since she had become conscious.

So she believed what Shanks said 100%.

Just curiosity in my eyes...

Even though Linley’s figure had disappeared from sight, the shadow still lingered for a long time.

Wang Luffy obviously heard the conversation between several people.

There was also a curious look in his eyes...

"Although I don't know his purpose..."

Shanks thought for a moment, and remembering his best friend Hawkeye’s evaluation of Linley, he finally made up his mind:

"But as long as we don't provoke him, I don't think there will be any conflict!"

"Let's stay as planned!"

"and……"

He had a premonition.

This time I will definitely meet the person in the prophecy!

That premonition has become stronger ever since he took the Nika 0 Fruit from CP-043!

"All right……"

Since Shanks had already made his decision, Jesus and Lakilu naturally would not object.

And others will not do so even more.

So after calming down, the group came to the familiar tavern with ease.

"Makino, here we come..."

Obviously.

This is not the first time that the Red Hair Pirates have come here, and they are very familiar with the town.

The only tavern in the town is a must-visit place for them whenever they come to Windmill Town.

The thought of being able to drink the wine brewed by Miss Makino herself.

Shanks and the others all came out of their heavy moods.

"Eh... Is that Shanks?"

Makino, who was standing behind the bar, suddenly brightened up when he heard the voices of Shanks and others, and his already smiling face became even brighter.

"It's been a long time!"

"yes……"

Looking at the familiar woman, Shanks finally smiled.

Just seeing a figure in a corner of the tavern, his face suddenly froze...

"Why is he... here too?"

Shanks was stunned.

Is it a ghost today?

No matter where I go, I always run into that guy who makes me feel stressed! .

【253】Why are they so afraid of you?

"Shanks, what's wrong?"

Jesus Bu, who was walking behind Shanks, didn't react in time and bumped into Shanks' back.

Seeing that he was motionless and serious, I looked in the direction of his gaze:

"..."

"Ah this~"

"Why is it haunting you?"

At this time, Linley was sitting in a corner of the tavern, quietly sipping a glass of wine.

Hearing the noise coming from the door, he knew it was Shanks and others, but he didn't turn around, but just raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

If it wasn't for the opportunity to "spur" Shanks to make progress, he would probably have just left after signing the contract with King Luffy.

I came to this pub on a whim.

First of all, I want to see the place in the original work where Luffy eats the Nika Form Fruit.

Secondly, he wanted to see if the child Makino was holding had any relationship with Shanks.

"This……"

For a moment, Jesus didn't know what to do.

Originally, the tavern was supposed to be the "gathering" place for the Red Hair Pirates, but now it has been "occupied" by someone.

This made Jesus a little confused.

"Come back later... or?"

Lakilu asked quietly.

Now they can still stay sober, regulate themselves and not provoke that guy.

But if you drink alcohol, that’s not necessarily the case!

What if I offend that guy...

That would be terrible!

If there is a conflict with it, the result is predictable!

The consequences are definitely not something they can afford!

Rather than having such hidden dangers, it is better to stay away from them and eliminate the possibility of contact with them.

"What are you afraid of? We should keep to ourselves!"

Shanks is Shanks after all.

It was impossible to guess Linley’s purpose for coming to this remote town.

I also know that disaster cannot be avoided.

So he pretended to be calm, pretending not to have seen Lin Lei, and walked straight towards Makino.

"Ms. Makino, long time no see. How have you been lately?"

"Hmm, Shanks, what about you?"

Makino didn't seem to notice the Red Hair Pirates' nervousness, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Everything went well at sea?"

"Of course it went smoothly. It's still the same old rules. Bring up as much wine as you can!"

Looking at Makino's reassuring face, Shanks felt as if he were bathed in spring breeze, and his body and mind calmed down.

I no longer thought about why Linley came here.

"It's been a long time since we drank Miss Makino's wine. We all miss it."

The look towards Makino was full of tenderness at this moment.

"Boss is right! I was so nauseous on the boat that I drank all the wine I brought from Miss Makino in the morning!"

"Who wouldn't say it's good after drinking the wine made by Miss Makino?"

"That's it."

Makino was extremely happy when his drinking skills were praised.

Responded cheerfully:

"Okay, wait a moment, the wine will be here soon."

"Eh... who is this?"

Makino, who was about to turn around and go back to the kitchen, finally saw Uta and pointed at her and asked curiously.

It's really strange that there is a little girl in the pirate group.

This had never been seen before when the Red Hair Pirates came to Windmill Town!

"Uta is my daughter... and she's also the musician of our Red Hair Pirates!"

Shanks rubbed Uta's little head and replied with a smile.

"Wow, Shanks, you already have a daughter! But why have I never heard you talk about it?"

After all, he and Shanks had only not seen each other for a few years, and judging from Uta’s age, it was impossible that he had been “created” in the past few years.

"This is a long story. I'll tell you in detail when I have a chance..."

"Okay, wait a moment, the wine will be ready soon!"

Makino knew that the Red Hair Pirates would stay for a while every time they came, so she didn't just satisfy her curiosity, but went into the kitchen.

The members of the Red Hair Pirates cautiously glanced at Lin Lei who was slowly tasting the wine, and then quietly found a seat and sat down.

Therefore, due to the presence of Linley, even though the Red Hair Pirates did not "change positions", they were all very well behaved and it did not seem like they were in a tavern at all.

"It's really strange, is that little brother so scary?"

Uta felt that the "uncles" in the pirate group were like quails that suddenly turned into quails, not even daring to breathe.

They seem like a group of good kids.

I just feel extremely curious.

"Wine is coming!"

Makino walked out from the kitchen and asked the waiters to serve wine to the Red Hair Pirates.

However, Uta took advantage of the fact that Shanks didn't notice her. Curiosity overcame everything and she walked up to Linley alone, giving him a well-behaved and curious look.

"Hmm? What's wrong, kid?"

Lin Lei, who was tasting the wine, was stunned. He looked up and smiled strangely.

"Brother, are you really the strongest man in the world as Shanks and the others say?"

"..."

Ah this.

Have even the little kids heard of his name now?

Looking at the red exclamation mark above Uta’s head, Linley chuckled.

If it wasn't for the last contract spot, it would have been taken by King Luffy.

In fact, Uta is also an excellent contractor.

In the original work, her Song-Song Fruit can be called the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" of the pirate world.

If the contract is signed, and if she develops to the point where the fruit awakens.

I'm afraid the return will be quite considerable.

Unfortunately……

"Hehe... doesn't it look like that?"
