On this day, Luffy pointed at the pirate ship and loudly announced: He can take its place.

Sabo looked up at the pirate ship with admiration, but he would not agree with Luffy's statement: "I will not be your vice-captain. I want to be a captain like them myself and buy a bigger ship than this."

Pirate ship."

Ace slapped Luffy on the back of the head and said, "You idiot Luffy, you can't even defeat those people at the garbage terminal, and you want to steal the ship of a real pirate. You will definitely be defeated by others. I heard

Some pirates are cruel and will kill people. But I am not afraid. When I become a navy, I will catch all these pirates."

In fact, Ace didn't know that the red-haired guy he wanted to arrest once worked as a waiter in his family's flower shop and played with him.

After all, he was only over three years old at that time.

"Hey, you, there is such a powerful kid. Not only does he want to rob our ship, but there is an even more powerful one here. He wants to become a navy and arrest us all. Do your family members know that you are so powerful?" A big fat man said.

Appeared in front of the three brothers, his tone was a bit joking.

This is no one’s fault, it’s because the three naughty kids were too far ahead. The three of them were too engrossed and didn’t notice that almost all the villagers were far behind them.

They also pointed at the pirate ship and made wild remarks. If they encountered a slightly more ferocious pirate, the three of them would not survive.

"Boss, this place in the East China Sea is really unique. There are three such powerful brats in a small village. I think the three of them will be very promising in the future." Another person spoke up, also half-hearted.

Said jokingly.

Shanks appeared wearing a straw hat and grinned at the three naughty children: "Aren't you three afraid of us pirates?"

Luffy stood up and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, I will become the most powerful pirate in the future and the freest person who will not be controlled by grandpa."

Sabo was very steady. He saw that these pirates seemed to be very powerful, so he secretly pulled Luffy and told him not to talk too much.

Eschota took a step forward and stood in front of the two brothers: "The navy is not afraid of pirates. I will become a navy admiral in the future and catch all pirates." Even though his mother has always instilled that Roger is a very good person.

A good father has this kind of thinking, but how can a child under ten years old not be affected by the people around him?

So in fact, Ace sometimes struggles with his own identity, but Lujiu has taught him one thing rightly, that is, most of the pirates in this world are damn evil-doers.

Admiral?

Many people in Shanks' group looked at Ace with some surprise in their eyes.

It's amazing that a kid with such big ambitions can exist in such a remote place in the East China Sea. When they were this big, let alone admirals, they were probably still playing in the mud.

Afterwards, many people laughed out loud.

"Hahahahaha, a kid who wants to become a naval admiral is really scary. Captain, I feel like we are all in danger." This sentence made everyone burst into laughter.

Shanks waved his hand to stop his bad friends. He looked at Ace, whose eyes were about to burst into flames, and asked: "So, the future admiral, and you two brats, can you tell me the nearest restaurant here?"

Where is it? To be honest, we are all a little hungry and need to replenish our energy."

"I know, I know. The food at Sister Maginot's is delicious. It's not far ahead." Luffy jumped out again. When it comes to eating, he is the most active one.

"Thank you, kid." Shanks smiled brightly at Luffy.

Luffy put his hands on his hips: "I'm not called brat, my name is Luffy~"

"Hey, hello Luffy, my name is Shanks, please give me some advice." Shanks also felt that the kid in front of him was very attractive. It was rare to find such a little guy who was not afraid of pirates like them at all.

Of course, the strangest thing is that there is more than one such brat.

"Shanks?" Suddenly a woman's voice interrupted.

Shanks looked at the place where the sound came from, his body froze a little, and then he became surprised: "Miss Lujiu? I didn't find you in Rogge Town. I thought something happened, and I found out after asking someone.

Miss Lujiu, you moved to another place, I didn’t expect to see you here, it’s really great.”

"Mom, you actually know this pirate uncle?" Ace spoke before Lujiu spoke.

"Mom?" Shanks looked at the kid with short black hair, especially the freckles on his face, and his past impressions suddenly emerged, "So, you are Ace!"

What a coincidence today.

"This is not the place to talk, why not talk somewhere else." Lu Jiu looked at the eyes of the surrounding villagers and neighbors and said.

This was indeed the case. Shanks and the others did not have the habit of being watched, so they moved the venue accordingly.

They arrived at the only restaurant in the village, the one owned by Maginot. The originally empty restaurant immediately became overcrowded with the arrival of Shanks and his gang.

However, today's meal seemed very different from the past. Everyone was secretly paying attention to the conversation between Shanks and Lujiu.

Originally, everyone thought that Captain Shanks chose the East China Sea as his destination, which actually had no particularly important meaning, but now they have to think more about it.

If it weren't for the age difference, and the fact that Ace and Shanks look nothing alike, especially since Lujiu has blond hair, he can only have black hair if he is married to his black-haired father.

Son, maybe they will have bolder associations.

Even Vice Captain Beckman, who was originally taciturn and calm, and could keep a straight face when dealing with anything, looked thoughtful.

Obviously, everyone wants to eat this melon.

Even the three naughty children are very curious about the relationship between Lu Jiu and Shanks, because no matter what, these two people don't seem to have any intersection. One is a big pirate, and the other is a flower shop in a small village in the East China Sea.

Boss lady, that's too far.

However, no one bothered Shanks and Lujiu to reminisce about old times.

The two of them were sitting in front of the bar, while the restaurant owner Maginot was busy serving a kind of pirate the food they ordered.

Maginot is still a little girl in her twenties, but because Windmill Village has never encountered pirates in recent years, people here lack knowledge about pirates, especially Shanks and his group.

Like pirates, you can see it from their conversational temperament and their attitude towards ordinary people.

Therefore, during the few breaks in the busy schedule, Maginot would pretend to pack things, but in fact she would listen to the conversation between the two of them.

But they were disappointed.

There is really no gossip between Shanks and Lujiu. The only reason why they know each other is because Lujiu saw Shanks in distress and kindly asked him to be his assistant for a period of time.

After that, Shanks left Rogue Town.

It's amazing to say that if you look at Shanks' experience as the main perspective, he is obviously a guy who has the fate of the protagonist.

The experience was magical, not much worse than that of Luffy in the future.

And he is very similar to Roger. The first partner they met later became his vice-captain, and they all had the same strength as the captain.

Pluto Rayleigh has the title of the right hand of the Pirate King, and Beckman is actually not much different. He is more intelligent. In fact, many times, Beckman is more involved than Shanks.

After that, after experiencing adventure after adventure, the Shanks Pirates slowly gathered his current partners, and there were also some others who left the pirate group for various reasons. Some of them left the pirate group.

Some are due to death, and some are due to differences in ideas.

By now, the red-haired pirates have long since stabilized.

Shanks also learned from Lujiu some of the things that had happened over the years. In fact, these things were nothing compared to Shanks' adventures. Most of the time, Lujiu was talking about what happened after she came to Windmill Village.

daily life.

And this daily life is actually related to the three Ace guys - there were two at first, and Sabo joined later.

After finishing the meal, Lujiu said goodbye to Shanks and returned home with her three children.

Because of Roger, Lujiu will treat pirates very objectively. If they are the kind of pirates who do all kinds of evil, of course she will stay away from them. If they are like Shanks and they have known each other before, she will not actually have any bad feelings.

.

It will not restrict Ace and others from contacting Shanks. The only thing is that Lujiu does not allow Ace to reveal the existence of his biological father to anyone. This is the only principle.

Compared to Ace, a child who is less than ten years old, Lujiu actually understands the sinister nature of people better.

Lujiu didn't want to comment on Roger's past merits and demerits, but he actually knew very well what Roger's reputation was like around the world.

That is to say, in Windmill Village, a paradise, because everyone has never experienced pirate plunder, and only knows some bits and pieces of information about Roger from newspapers, etc., they will not hate Roger so much.

In other places, if someone knew that Ace was Roger's son, they might have some bad thoughts.

Maybe the navy will also cause trouble, but Allen is now an admiral.

But Allen is not the only admiral. If someone really wants to deal with Ace, there will always be a way. Therefore, Lujiu has always asked Ace to keep Roger's identity secret, not even to Luffy and Sabo.

The same goes for Shanks, except that Roger's identity cannot be revealed, Lujiu doesn't hide much in other aspects.

Well, it's still a bit concealed. For example, it didn't mention Ace's other father, Alan.

In fact, if Ace hadn't taken his surname as Portcas, just by listening to their names, I would have felt that he and Allen were a real father and son.

…

…

Lunch break time.

The three naughty children had fallen into a deep sleep, the room became extremely quiet, and there seemed to be slight snoring.

Sudden.

A figure sat up cautiously, it was Luffy with short black hair. He looked at the two sleeping guys slyly, grinned, and praised his wit.

Today was the first time he saw a real pirate. Of course, Luffy was very excited.

He was not like Ace, a guy who only wanted to be a marine. He was very interested in pirates. He felt that Shanks and the others would definitely have a very exciting story.

So, after he came back, he waited patiently for Ace and Sabo to sleep.
