Kirby, the God of Pirates

"There are very few people who dare to challenge the Demon Sea!" After the old woman said this, she raised her head and glanced at Luffy, "So this store will be closed today!"

"I also want to go to the Grand Line..."

Luffy stared at his feet and kept shaking his legs.

When he thought that he was sitting in the seat of the former Pirate King, he couldn't stop trembling. He was so excited that goosebumps appeared all over his body.

He can't help but want to go even now!

"kindness?!"

The old woman flew along the road with her eyes wide open, her face filled with disbelief.

"That's great, Gol D. Roger~"

"That's really what pirates have to do!"

Luffy kicked his legs with a smile and put on his straw hat, with a meaningless look on his face.

"I also want to go to the Grand Line and become the Pirate King!"

"Hmm?"

The old woman looked at Luffy with interest and shook her head.

"The export is amazing, but useless..."

"The number of guys who said such things in my store has been unknown since the opening of the Great Pirates Era. There are no less than a thousand or a hundred of them, but do you know their final results?"

"Everyone is dead!"

The old woman's nails were on the rim of the glass, and the corner of her mouth curled up into an imperceptible smile.

"But that child, maybe..."

"Who?" Luffy looked curious.

"You don't even know!"

The old woman waved her hands angrily and was about to send them away when another person came in from the door.

"Hey, are you okay? Mother-in-law."

Captain Smoker

Cigars are stuck all over his body like bullets, and there are more than two cigarettes hanging from the corner of his mouth all year round.

The man was carrying a strange-shaped knife that looked like a tuning fork on his back. Anyone familiar with it knew that this was a sharp weapon for hunting "Devil Fruit users" refined with "Hailou Stone"

The cigarette man pushed open the door and walked around the guest table slowly. He glanced at Luffy inadvertently and flicked the ashes of his cigarette.

"Tch! So it's you!"

Compared to the man's enthusiasm, the old woman in the store seemed much colder. She hit the table with her right hand and looked away.

"This greeting is too loud~"

The man wasn't angry at all, he just sat down next to Luffy.

"Am I a regular customer?"

"Have you got the right to say this to a bastard who wants me to close down my business?!"

The mother-in-law glared at the man and wiped the table. She didn't seem to be preparing to bring the man wine.

"Yo yo yo ~ By complaining about me, are you getting the wrong person?"

The man straightened his body, spit out a mouthful of white mist, and sneered: "I'm just doing my job, mother-in-law."

“If I’m to blame, it’s because pirates nowadays are all cowards~”

"who said it!"

The man's words immediately angered Luffy. Luffy stood up and glared at the man.

"I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"

"Hoo?!"

"This is really... hahaha!"

The man laughed loudly, drank the rum that was passed down by the smoke, wiped his mouth, and then turned his head and gave Luffy a meaningful look.

"Do you know who you're talking to, boy?"

"I don't care who you are, I'm the Pirate King anyway!"

Luffy was still smiling, and even his mother-in-law thought he was joking.

However, just when his mother-in-law was about to start chasing people away, Luffy suddenly picked up the cup and clinked it

"Cheers to the eternal Pirate King!"

"..." The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, then sneered, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

&

nbsp;"Cheers!"

Somehow, the figure of that man seemed to appear in her eyes again. The boy who was so silly just now was slowly reuniting with the "him" from back then.

It's so similar

The same fearlessness, the same...like to laugh

"This is drink money!"

The man was ignored by Luffy and was not angry. He took out a stack of Baileys and slapped it on the table without counting.

He knew the price of rum in the store very well, and by the way, it also included Luffy's two glasses of juice.

"Boy, how about we talk somewhere else?"

"Eh? Is something wrong?"

Luffy glanced at Smoker in confusion, tilted his head and asked

"I'm going to the execution platform later. Do you know how to get to the execution platform?"

"You know? It's too clear!"

The man smiled, waved back, and walked out of the tavern first. The tavern was still filled with smoke that lingered for a long time.

But the man didn't look back, as if he knew Luffy would definitely follow him.

...

"Then I'll leave first! Thank you for the hospitality!"

Luffy slapped his head and was about to pay, but was stopped by his mother-in-law.

"He has already paid your money just now..."

The mother-in-law frowned, grabbed Luffy's arm, and whispered: "I advise you not to follow him. Do you know who that guy was just now? He is..."

"Whee!"

Before her mother-in-law could finish her words, she was interrupted by a laugh. Luffy waved his hand with a relaxed expression on his face.

"If he were the Pirate King, he would do the same thing, wouldn't he?"

After a while, the mother-in-law came back to her senses.

Looking at the gate swinging back and forth, I smiled bitterly and shook my head.

"It seems like my shop will be open for a while longer?"

...

Central Avenue

Before Kebi had gone far, he met an acquaintance

Blinking his eyes through the bamboo hat, Kebi chuckled and didn't intend to pay attention.

But it was this chuckle that caught the attention of the person opposite.

"strangeness?"

Bucky the Clown turned his head strangely, glanced at Kirby's back again, and murmured

“I always feel like I’ve seen this guy somewhere before?!”

"Hey! Stop for me!"

Bucky has always been convinced of his sixth sense. Once he identified the person, he chased after him.

Who makes Kebi so conspicuous? Even if you can't see her face, just by the half of her arm that is occasionally exposed, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this woman is absolutely as beautiful as a flower.

"Do you think the boss has fallen in love with this girl?"

The animal trainer Mochi, a man who was once almost killed by a fire from Kirby, had a strange look on his face and asked his partner next to him.

What he got instead was a punch in the head from the acrobat.

"Idiot, is our boss the kind of man who can be seduced by beauty?! I didn't see the woman who came back with the boss at that time. Isn't she so beautiful?! The boss still has no interest at all!"

"Yes!" Mochi clapped his hands and nodded.

Thinking of the boss's savior, the man's heart felt hot. It wasn't that he had never seen a woman before, but he had never seen such a stunning beauty. Those lips, that face, and that waist were so stained that if they were too fat, they would be too fat. Even though she is too thin, she can definitely satisfy the appetite of most men!

"Who are you talking about?"

The woman's lazy voice came from behind. When the two of them turned around, they were immediately shocked.

"You...why did you come with me?"

"Nonsense!" Arrita rolled her eyes, shook her mace, and stared in the direction of Kebi.

"Your captain and I have a common enemy..."

"Where's [-] million Baileys?"
