[Pirate] Ann

Ann looked at the man who couldn't wait to rush out after answering her question, and followed helplessly.Although she felt that there should be no chance for her to do it, this guy named Luffy is quite strong.And it seems that she has a good relationship with Ace, her luck is really good.

As soon as she stepped out of the store, a person who was punched by Luffy flew to her feet.

The man struggled to stand up, and was stunned for a moment when he saw An. After recovering, he immediately waved the knife in his hand and shouted.Ann put away his carefree expression, dodged the opponent's attack, and then grabbed the opponent's hand and snatched the knife.The man was still about to snatch back the weapon, so An unceremoniously swung a knife and chopped him down.

"Tsk." An frowned. It was her first actual combat, and the feeling of slashing people really made her scalp tingle.But the other party is a pirate who has done a lot of evil, and it doesn't matter if he dies.

Thinking of it this way, the guilt in my heart also faded, so I threw myself into the battle decisively.

Out of worry, Makino ran to the door to see the situation of the two of them, but found that not only was Luffy unharmed, but several people had fallen beside the slender girl.

Many villagers were attracted by the sound, and the village chief walked quickly on a cane, bypassing the crowd and coming to her.

"Are you okay?" the village chief asked worriedly.

Makino shook his head and replied, "I'm fine, but Luffy and that little girl..."

"Really, that guy Luffy will cause trouble!" The village head also shifted his gaze to the two people in the battle, "But, who is that kid?"

"I don't know... She asked me about Ace, then had a quarrel with those pirates, and finally got into a fight."

"Pirate! Another pirate!"

The battle ended quickly, and there was no suspense about the outcome.

An threw the knife in his hand to the ground, panting slightly.Lying in front of Luffy not far away was the captain. Ann walked over and took out a stack of reward bills from his backpack.

"Let me see how much he's worth..." An said while turning the pages, and finally saw the name "Will" in the thick stack of rewards, "What, only 300 million? Look at his confident look." It looks like I'm making a little money!"

"What makes money?" Luffy asked her curiously, holding the straw hat on his head with one hand.

"It is to send the pirates to the Navy, and then exchange for the corresponding bounty." An explained, "Help me tie them up, and send him to the Navy when I leave."

"Oh that's fine."

After tying up all the downed people, Ann smiled with satisfaction.She turned her head and said to Luffy, "By the way, I haven't told you my name yet, my name is Portgas D. Ann."

"Oh, eh—?!"

A few minutes later, the villagers had already dispersed, and the village chief accompanied Makino to clean up the mess. Of course, An and Luffy also helped.It's just that the two of them were talking about Ace while doing things slowly, which was extremely inefficient.

"Really, Ace is so powerful!" An looked very excited. This was the first time she heard about Ace. She didn't expect that Luffy and Ace were sworn brothers. No wonder she When I saw this guy, I felt very close.

"Yeah! I've never beat him before!" Luffy looked very happy talking about his defeat, and An was infected by his smile and laughed even louder.

"I told you, if you don't help, don't make trouble!"

After being scolded, the two finally cleaned honestly for the time being.Fortunately, the store was just a little messy and there wasn't much damage.Ann repeatedly apologized to Makino, but the other party smiled and told her not to care, which made her feel even more sorry.So it was decided that after getting the bounty, most of it would be sent back here as compensation.

After calling the navy at the bar, Ann dragged Will and his party to the pier led by Luffy and Makino.Along the way, they were chatting about Ace. Originally, An thought that he would have to live here for a few days before he could find out the news, but he didn't expect to be able to leave that day.

"Speaking of which, if you are Ace's younger brother, you can be considered my younger brother." An looked at Luffy and said, "If I didn't want to see Ace sooner, I would really like to stay for a few days. What a pity, This is the first time I have had such a happy chat with someone!"

"It doesn't matter, I will leave here as a pirate in another three years. We will definitely meet again on the sea!"

An smiled and nodded, then stretched out her free arm to wrap around Luffy's shoulder, and said, "That's great, I'm so envious that you grew up with Ace!"

"You were so handsome with a knife just now! Come on my boat in the future!"

An maintained a smiling face and stared at Lu Fei for a while, then said quietly: "I said, our topics seem to be different."

After leaving Windmill Village, Ann headed for Rogge Town with the Navy on a warship.She sat on the edge of the deck, enjoying the extremely comfortable sea breeze.

Rogue town.She looked up at the calm sky, occasionally seeing a few seagulls flying by.Known as the town where it began and ended, where Papa came from and... died.

Finally arrived at the legendary Rogge Town, Ann said goodbye to the marines and got off the ship alone.She wants to replenish resources here, and find a way to cross the Red Earth Continent with a certain ship.

Sure enough, it would be safer to follow the navy, since it is too worrying to ask her to hand over her life to those lowly pirates.

An made up his mind, and when he was about to find the Navy to implement the plan, he heard two people passing by whispered: "Why did the boss stop in Rogge Town, obviously the resources are abundant. I heard that there are a few powerful newcomers coming out of the great route recently, the navy must be strengthened, and it’s really hard to figure out that they are still coming to the East China Sea at this point!”

"You're new here, don't think about so many boring things. Our captain is that red-haired one, why is there a problem!"

"Haha, that's what I said!"

Ann just stood by and listened to all their conversations openly, until the two slowly walked away.

Red hair, Ann rubbed her chin, she is more reliable than the third-rate and navy.

Since he made up his mind to become a pirate, An has never neglected training and intelligence.So she knew exactly who this so-called redhead was.What's more, the place where she and her grandparents live now is the territory of red hair.

Ann found a shop selling knives, and with the owner's disgust in his eyes, he picked out knives from two large barrels priced at [-] Baileys at the door.She found one of the knives that could feel the danger just by looking at it at a glance, and out of curiosity, she drew that knife out.

"Wait a minute! That knife isn't for sale!" The owner's eyes changed immediately, and he said nervously to stop him, "Miss, choose something else. Although my shop is small, there are quite a few good knives! I'll make it cheaper for you. , but only that knife cannot be given to you!"

"Why?" An Ming asked knowingly.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper explained solemnly: "It's a demon sword. Its previous owners all died. If you buy it, you will be cursed."

Ann immediately made a frightened expression, and put the knife back into the stab in a panic.Then he touched the knife lightly from an angle that the shopkeeper couldn't see. What a pity, she couldn't control such a good knife.

When he got up again, his expression changed again: "But, I only have one hundred thousand with me."

"It's okay, come here and show you this." The shopkeeper beckoned to her.

Ann walked over to look at the knife he had placed on the counter.

"This one is not bad, look at the blade and the pattern." The shopkeeper pulled the knife out of the scabbard, and An also nodded in agreement, but this knife really doesn't look very good.

Should we switch to another store? When An was thinking about it, he caught sight of a knife placed in the corner of his eye.

"Hey, why did you put that one there?" An stretched out her finger, and the shopkeeper looked in the direction she pointed, and then replied, "That one, someone came and put it here a year ago."

An walked over to pick up the knife, and was immediately startled by the weight, "It's so heavy." Probably two, no, almost three?

"Yeah, not only did that person not come back to get it, but even if I wanted to sell it now, I couldn't sell it. Such a heavy knife is useless at all. But it's a pity to throw it away. That knife is well-made."

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, An took the knife out of its sheath and looked at it.

Although her arm strength is not weak after practicing swinging the knife all year round, it may take a lot of hard work to use this knife as usual.She looked at this peculiar knife carefully, and suddenly laughed as she looked at it.It turns out that this child is not much better than that demon knife.

"Boss, I want this one, can you give me another wooden knife?"

"what?"

The shopkeeper looked puzzled, but still accepted An's [-] yuan, and found her a worn-out wooden knife.

Putting the two knives around his waist, he left the shop contentedly.Then she bought some other things nearby, and after all the purchases were completed, she started to walk back.Fortunately, he ran into one of the two just outside the pier.The man seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and was walking back with a box of things staggeringly.

An hooked the corner of her mouth, took out a newly bought hat from her bag, and stuffed her long hair into it.Then, she stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, lowered her voice and pretended to be angry, and said, "You guy didn't even invite me to drink, it's so embarrassing!"

"Hi... Who are you?" The other party turned around and looked at Ann with half-opened eyes.

"Hey, stop joking, you've drunk too much. Okay, let me carry this thing, you walk in front of me, don't fall." An looked helpless, and then reached out to take the other party's box .

"Hurp! Then, thank you...thank you!" The other party didn't refuse, and even saluted her decently.

So An followed the person in front with the box that was a little heavy for her, but there was no pirate ship where the person stood, only a few small boats full of wooden boxes.

An hid her face behind the wooden box, followed them into the boat, and then sat down in an inconspicuous place.

After about half a day, several small boats arrived at the location of the big boat.After lowering the ladder from above, Ann got up with the others, but she didn't intend to carry things up.Not to mention whether she will be discovered or not, based on her strength, it is estimated that she will have to fall down halfway.

"Hey, help me carry this up." Ann called out to the person closest to her, and then patted the person sitting next to her who was still awake, "If you don't send this drunk up, I'm afraid it will happen later. He'll have to swim after us."

"Haha..." The person stopped by her smiled, and stretched out a hand to take Ann's box, "Okay, you can send this guy up, it seems that he won't be able to attend the banquet tonight gone."

"Hahaha, maybe this guy will get up and drink after smelling the wine." An also laughed, then she turned around and grabbed the arm of the person behind her, half-supporting him to the boat.

"Wait a minute." The person who took the box suddenly shouted behind him, and the smile on An's face froze instantly.She turned her head, and at the same time quietly put one hand on the wooden knife, "What's wrong?"

"The banquet tonight is specially prepared for you newcomers, don't drink like that guy!"

An laughed twice, and moved her hand away from the knife, "Don't worry, this guy's drinking capacity is less than one-third of mine."

Boxes of food and wine were being transported to the ship, and after about a few minutes, the handling finally came to an end, and the crew began to board the ship one after another.

"Hey, why did Master Larch, the ship's doctor, come down to carry things too?" The person who spoke was a man who looked, no, in fact, a fat man. He was wearing a green striped top, and he was holding a chicken leg and gnawed on it.

"Go away, don't break the appliance I just bought." Putting down the box he just took over, Larch turned his body slightly, so that the other party and the small box he was carrying in his hand just passed by.

"Hmph, I don't care about it."

Larch watched him take another big bite of the chicken leg, eating it with relish, and shook his head helplessly, "Lu, because of the ship doctor's advice, you should also lose weight."

Before Lu had time to speak, a somewhat lazy voice sounded from above the two of them, "Hey, are the newcomers here?"

They looked up at the same time and saw their captain hanging on the railing.

"Oh! The newcomers are here!" Lu replied loudly.

"Okay!" The person who was originally hanging on the railing became standing on the railing in a second, pulled out the knife at his waist with one hand, and shouted: "Let's sail!"

The people on the ship immediately got busy, anchoring and sailing, seemingly in a mess, but actually proceeded in an orderly manner under the command of the captain and navigator.

Larch glanced at the people on the deck, then turned his head and asked softly, "Lu, you said all the newcomers are here?"

"Yes." Lu replied, still chewing on the chicken drumsticks that he took out from nowhere.

"Where's the blond one?" Larch's eyes were still searching the crowd.

"Blonde?" Lu glanced at Larch, "There is no blond among the newcomers this time."

What? !Laqi frowned, good guy, let alone get on the red-haired boat, how dare you lie to him?

He turned immediately and went up the stairs to the side of the captain who was still standing on the railing.

On the other hand, Ann dragged the drunk who had fallen asleep to a very secluded place.She opened her luggage, took out a black wig and put it on, took out cosmetics and dabbed on her face a little, and finally stripped the man's clothes without any scruples until only the undershirt and underwear remained.When she stood up again, she had completely changed into another person.

"Let's put things here for now." An murmured, and stuffed the two knives and luggage into the corner.After hesitating for a moment, he still took out the heavy knife and pinned it to his waist.
