People are pirates, this navy is not very fair!

East China Sea, Windmill Village.

A sailboat with a red dragon head dropped its anchor and docked at the edge of the pier.

The black pirate flag hanging on the mast of the sailboat has revealed the name of this pirate group... the Red Hair Pirates!

Although the current reputation of Red-haired Shanks is not as good as Kaido of the Hundred Beasts, Whitebeard Newgate and others, he has earned one billion and forty million beli by virtue of his wreaking havoc in the Kingdom of Eligia. The bounty on his head made him a ruthless man with a reputation for being ruthless on the Great Channel...

In the bar with the "Parties Bar" plaque hanging on the door, there will be a burst of laughter and noise from time to time.

The members of the red-haired pirate group sat around the drinking tables, drinking and playing, talking about interesting things they encountered during their adventures, and there was an endless stream of people shouting "Cheers!"

At the right end of the bar counter in the bar, there is a small, unlocked wooden box...

The red-haired Shanks was sitting in front of the bar. He was holding a plate of fried rice in one hand and a spoon in the other. He slowly put the fried rice into his mouth and chewed it.

Luffy, who was sitting next to him, once again said the request he had repeated countless times:

"Hey! Shanks, next time you go to sea, can you take me with you?

I also want to be a pirate..."

Hearing this, after Shanks swallowed the fried rice in his mouth, he laughed and refused without hesitation:

"Hahaha! How can a kid like you become a pirate?"

Luffy looked dissatisfied and complained to red-haired Shanks:

"Ah! Why!"

"No, it's no! Anyway, I won't take a brat like you out to sea..."

At this moment, the shutter door of the bar was pushed open. Sephiroth, who was wearing a red floral shirt, white beach pants, slippers, and two long knives at his waist, came out from the outside. Came in.

With the appearance of the silver-haired young man, the voices in the bar immediately became quiet, and the members of the red-haired pirate group all turned to look at him.

Vice Captain Ben Beckman even subconsciously touched his hand to the pistol at his waist.

Sephiroth didn't have many interactions with the Red-Haired Pirates. The only time they met was during the Song Demon King incident in the Kingdom of Eligia.

Although the two sides acted together that time to deal with the sudden appearance of the Demon King of Song.

but.......

The problem that cannot be ignored is that their positions are still different, one is the navy and the other is the pirates!

Considering that Sephiroth is a character who can fight Kaido of the Beasts, in terms of strength, it is a very tricky existence, and the relationship between the two parties is not clear whether they are enemies or friends.

Therefore, the members of the red-haired pirates were subconsciously alert and ready to take action at any time...

On the other side, Luffy was sitting in front of the bar. He first looked at the red-haired pirates, then turned to look at Sephiroth who walked into the bar.

His not-so-smart little mind couldn't figure out what was going on now.

oh! By the way, it seems that Sephiroth is a marine and Shanks is a pirate...

So, Luffy, who thought he had figured everything out, immediately turned to the red-haired young man and shouted:

"Run away! Shanks, Sephiroth is a marine!"

"Hey, hey, hey!...Don't make the atmosphere so tense!

Although I am a Marine, today is a day off and I have no intention of working overtime!

I'm just chatting with acquaintances..."

With that said, Sephiroth walked to the left side of the bar and sat down.

The red-haired Shanks thought for a while, then he said sadly:

"Uta...is she okay?"

"Well! She's doing well...

I found a famous music teacher for her to guide her in music studies.

Recently, she was also clamoring about wanting to release a music album or something..."

Hearing this, Shanks couldn't help laughing and patted Sephiroth on the shoulder.

"Hahaha! Really? That's good...

I'm looking forward to her music album and really hope to hear it soon. "

Seeing this situation, the members of the red-haired pirates estimated that there would be no conflicts this time, so the lively and noisy atmosphere in the bar resumed.

Maginot, who was standing at the bar, asked with a smile:

"Sephiroth, would you like something to drink today?"

"Old rules."

"Ok."

Hearing this, Maginot first placed a cup in front of Sephiroth, then she lowered her body, took out a bottle of sherry from the drawer of the bar, opened the cork, and poured him a glass.

Originally, Maginot didn't stock this kind of wine, but when Sephiroth came here for the first time, he mentioned sherry, which made her a little concerned.

Therefore, when she was restocking, she bought some...

When Sephiroth came for the second time, she asked him, "Would you like a glass of sherry?"

In response, Sephiroth just smiled and replied: "It's the best!"

So, Maginot mistakenly thought that he liked this kind of wine, so he asked him about it when he came to the bar later.

In fact, Sephiroth did not have a great love or preference for sherry. He mentioned sherry casually at that time just because he felt that this kind of wine was not expensive and tasted good. It should be in Maginot's bar. There will be...

However, he did not correct this beautiful little misunderstanding to avoid embarrassment to both parties.

Over time, this became the "old rule" between the two.

Sephiroth picked up the wine glass and took a sip of sherry. Then he turned to the red-haired Shanks beside him and said:

"By the way, you have been in Donghai for almost a year...

Are you looking for something? "

"Hahaha! I'm not looking for anything, I'm just wandering around."

In response, red-haired Shanks just laughed and explained vaguely.

He is lying!

Through the perception of sight, hearing and color, Sephiroth instantly judged the authenticity of the other party's words.

The Red-Haired Pirates have used Windmill Village as their base camp for a long time, so every time Sephiroth comes to the village, he has to deliberately stagger the time.

but......

He waited and waited, but still didn't wait for Luffy to eat the rubber fruit!

Therefore, Sephiroth, who couldn't hold himself back any longer, had no choice but to show up to meet the red-haired Shanks. He wanted to test the opponent's plans and give him some blows from the side...

If you want to give away a devil fruit, please do it quickly!

boom!

At this moment, a shutter door of the bar was kicked open by someone from the outside. The huge force caused the entire door to fall to the ground and fly several meters away.

Immediately, a man wearing a brown robe, with a long knife on his waist, a cross scar on his forehead, and a short beard on his face, walked as if he didn't recognize his relatives, put his hands in his pockets, and said with a crazy look on his face With an expression on his face, he walked in with a group of ferocious-looking young men.

Finally, the man with the scarred face said something very insincere:

"excuse me!"

The scar-faced man took a few glances at the red-haired pirate members sitting in the bar, and he subconsciously said sarcastically:

"I heard that a group of pirates came to this village, is it you?

They all look stupid..."

Hearing this, the members of the red-haired pirate group stopped talking and drinking, and turned to look at the provocative scar-faced man.

At this scene, Sephiroth couldn't help but raise his brows slightly. He instantly guessed who the person was, and he also remembered a few words inexplicably in his mind...

If you want to ask who is the strongest in the East China Sea, I am the Thief King of Xig.

Fuck the Yonko with a bottle in hand, and the future Pirate King with his feet.

The labor bounty is [-] million, and the sky is empty every second.

If it weren’t for the King of the Sea, I would have finished playing One Piece in four episodes!

Sigur stood in front of the bar, took out his right hand from his trouser pocket and slapped it heavily on the bar, causing the table to make a muffled sound of "Bang!", and he said with an evil smile:

"We are bandits, but we are not here to cause trouble...

Sell ​​us wine quickly, we want 20 barrels! "

Who would believe what you say? Besides, with your trouble-making attitude, it sounds like you are planning to buy a bar for zero yuan? .....Sephiroth couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Facing this group of aggressive bandits, Maginot hesitated and said:

"Sorry, all the wine has just been sold out..."

Hearing this, Sig's eyes instantly became colder. He turned his head and glanced sideways at the wine glasses and bottles held by the pirates. His tone was full of unkindness:

"Isn't this too strange?

Could it be that what these pirates are drinking now is urine? "

"Because, the wine sold now is all..." Maginot explained.

The red-haired Shanks, who was sitting next to the bar, saw that Sig's expression was getting worse and worse, and he seemed to be showing signs of being angry with Maginot.

So, he had no choice but to interrupt and divert the other person's attention to himself:

"This is really embarrassing!

Looks like we drank all the wine here...Sorry! "

As he spoke, he picked up a bottle of wine on the bar and handed it to Sig.

"If you don't mind, I'll give you this bottle of wine. It hasn't been opened yet..."

Looking at the bottle of wine handed to him by red-haired Shanks, Sig felt that he had been seriously insulted!

So, he immediately raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist. "Bang!" and instantly smashed the wine bottle in red-haired Shanks' hand. The spilled wine covered the latter's body.

After doing all this, Sig seemed to feel that it was not enough. He took out his left hand from his trouser pocket and handed a reward order with his portrait in front of the red-haired Shanks. He said in a low tone:

"Hey! Who do you think I am... Don't underestimate me!

Look carefully, my head is worth 800 million beli, and I am a wanted criminal with a bounty on my head.

I've killed 56 self-righteous guys like you! "

Seeing the silent red-haired Shanks and the bandit standing behind Sig, they all let out a burst of laughter.

Seeing this scene, the members of the red-haired pirate group gradually became unkind in their eyes. As long as the red-haired Shanks said a word, they would take action to defeat the arrogant bandits.

However......

"Hahaha-!"

In this gradually chilling atmosphere, Sephiroth suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard.

He couldn't understand at all how Sig, with his personality and mental retardation, lived to this age...

Bandit King Sig, who had a bounty of eight million beli, actually showed off his bounty in front of the red-haired Shanks, who had a bounty of one billion and forty million beli!

Laughing to death! The reward he was so proud of was not even a fraction of others' reward!

"Boy, what are you laughing at?"

Sig turned to look at the silver-haired young man beside him. His eyes were full of evil, and his right hand was pressed on the handle of the knife, ready to unsheath it at any time.

"I just want to laugh...What, do you have any objection?"

As he spoke, the smile on Sephiroth's face gradually faded, his eyes became as sharp as knives, and he exuded a terrifying murderous aura, instantly locking onto all the bandits present.

Under his intense gaze, Sig actually had the illusion of a knife being held on his neck. His right hand was as heavy as a stone, and he did not dare to pull out the long knife at his waist.

In fact, not only was he hallucinating, but so was the bandit boy behind him.

Some timid bandits even started to tremble in their legs.

This is the rhythm of death!

Gum!

Sig swallowed his saliva and quickly released his right hand holding the handle of the knife, but he was stubborn and refused to weaken:

"Hmph! There's no wine here... What a disappointment!

Let's find another place to drink. "

As he spoke, he waved his hand, turned around, and quickly walked out of the bar with a group of frightened bandit boys.

After watching Sig and others leave, red-haired Shanks immediately smiled playfully and seemed not to care about the fact that he had wine spilled all over him. He said in a slightly joking tone:

"Oh my! Fortunately, Sephiroth helped drive away those bandits..."

Seeing this, the members of the red-haired pirate group in the bar also started teasing their captain.

"Hahaha! The boss was bullied so miserably!"

"Hahaha! Yes! Yes! Boss, you are really embarrassed this time!"

"Brother Sephiroth is still awesome!

Boss, you have to learn more in the future..."

Luffy scanned the laughing people in the bar with his eyes one by one. He bit his lower lip tightly, his body was shaking with anger, and he roared out almost subconsciously:

"Why can you still laugh?

Don't you think it's embarrassing?

Why don't you take action with them?

Even if the opponent is outnumbered and looks very strong, still laughing when being bullied like this is not a man at all, nor is he worthy of being a pirate. "

Hearing this, red-haired Shanks smiled, with no embarrassment or shame on his face.

"It's not like I don't understand your mood...

However, you just got drunk all over you, so there’s no need to be angry, right? "

"That's enough! I won't pay attention to you anymore!"

With that said, Luffy turned around and faced the red-haired Shanks with his back, as if he didn't want to talk to him.

"Shanks, wipe the drink off your body!"

Maginot took out a handkerchief from the bar and handed it to red-haired Shanks. The latter thanked him, stretched out his left hand to take the handkerchief, took off the straw hat with his right hand, put it in his arms, and began to wipe it. I picked up this ordinary straw hat.

This was something given to him by Captain Roger, which had a special meaning...

Sephiroth said in a slightly teasing tone:

"Well~! I have to say, Shanks, you really have a good way of dealing with people!

If I had a hot temper, I would have stabbed him twice! "

Hearing this, Shanks turned around and looked at Sephiroth. He laughed and said:

"Thank you, actually I just don't care about these little things very much... Hahaha!"

"Oh!? Do you really not care, or do you care too much...?" Sephiroth muttered noncommittally.

On the other side, the ignorant Luffy, under the eyes of more than a dozen people, casually opened the small wooden box next to him, picked up the rubber fruit placed in the box, chewed and swallowed it.

"Luffy, what are you eating!?"

The red-haired Shanks turned his head to look at Luffy beside him, as if he had realized it in hindsight.

However, it was too late. When he looked over, Luffy just happened to swallow the last piece of Devil Fruit... Hmm! Even the fruit stalk is gone!

Red-haired Shanks' eyes widened, and he asked with a slightly exaggerated expression:

"Is it that box?

Did you eat anything from that box? "

"Yeah!" Luffy nodded without knowing why.

"Spit it out, spit it out right away, spit out all the food..."

The red-haired Shanks reached out and grabbed Luffy's feet, hoisting him upside down and swinging him up and down in the air.

"Shanks, what are you doing!"

As Luffy struggled for a while, his legs suddenly stretched out like rubber, causing his head to fall to the ground, but it quickly shrank again and bounced back.

During this time, he felt no pain at all.

"What happened just now?" Luffy asked with a confused look on his face.

"What you eat is a rubber fruit, also called a devil fruit. After eating it, your whole body will turn into rubber!

And you will be unable to swim for the rest of your life. If you soak in sea water, your whole body will be weak and you will sink directly into the sea..."

Sephiroth watched the farce leisurely while drinking sherry from his glass.

According to the information he obtained, the red-haired pirates had already snatched the rubber fruit from CP9 a year ago!

However, Red-haired Shanks never gave this Devil Fruit to others to eat or put it up for auction.

If he wants to keep it for himself, it seems unlikely...

After eating a Devil Fruit, he still needs to struggle for a year. Red-haired Shanks might be suffering from difficult choice syndrome!

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in this world, if any Devil Fruit is thrown up for auction, it will fetch at least [-] million Baileys.

Why is a rubber fruit, such a precious thing, just placed in a small wooden box without even adding an iron lock... Why on earth is this?

After watching the farce, Sephiroth took out a [-]-yuan Bailey bill and pressed it under the wine glass.

Then, he stood up and left the parties Ba with a smile on his face...
