Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 317: Making Trouble in Windmill Town! (24)

Windmill Village is a small village with beautiful scenery.

There are several windmills dotted behind the green and empty hillside, which creak and turn slowly in the breeze. The houses in the village have clean and tidy exterior walls, and the residents often have smiles on their faces. The pace of life is leisurely and elegant. It can be seen that this is a very quiet small village.

As the hometown of the famous "naval hero", in fact, not many pirates dare to come here to cause trouble. And if a small pirate who can't even investigate this little information wants to cause trouble, the Yamagami Dadan family is enough to deal with it.

The huge ship of the Qilin is docked on the sea outside the Fengche Village port, and the contrast with the size of the port is very obvious.

As a small port in the village that only provides travel convenience for family fishing boats, it cannot accommodate even a warship of ordinary size, let alone the Qilin.

The village chief, Up Slap, saw the warship approaching from afar, but this time it was not the dog-headed warship he was familiar with, but a strange beast warship he had never seen before.

Unsure of the other party's purpose, Slap asked the people to temporarily leave and he brought a group of elderly people to welcome the navy.

"Welcome, all admirals. I am the mayor of Windmill Village, Up Slap."

"Hello, Mr. Village Chief, I am Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel of the Marine Headquarters."

This trip was not for official business, but a private matter entrusted by their predecessors, so the soldiers did not get off the boat to avoid disturbing the residents of the town.

The flying squirrel greeted Slap with a friendly face. After revealing his identity, the other party was surprised and couldn't help asking.

"Could it be that you are the prosecutor from the headquarters?!"

Recently, the news that prosecutors from our headquarters have been making a big fuss about cleaning up naval corruption in the East China Sea has spread to thousands of households through newspapers. Slap has long heard about the navy's heavy-handed approach to deal with these naval scums who are causing trouble to the area.

The flying squirrel nodded and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Slap.

Ten warships testified that the other party could not be a fake. Slap immediately took the flying squirrel's hand enthusiastically and said excitedly: "Great! You are a great hero in our hearts!"

After saying that, he turned around and shouted to the old man standing nearby.

"Hey, Latus, inform the villagers to prepare for the banquet. The naval prosecutor from headquarters is here!"

"What?! Is that the Navy prosecutor who fights corruption?!"

"Of course not! Hurry up and get everyone out to greet him. He's an honored guest!"

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

The flying squirrel looked embarrassed, thinking that if he continued, he would be confirmed as the prosecutor. He retracted his hand and quickly broke free, coughing twice.

"Village Chief Slap, the prosecutor is not me, but Lieutenant General Canglong beside me."

Slap: "..."

"It's all the same, it's all the same!"

"Everyone in the East China Sea knows the name of Prosecutor Canglong. Everyone is looking forward to your arrival! Come, please come this way."

As he spoke, Slap naturally dropped the flying squirrel, took a step forward to Ron, and stretched out his hand to lead Ron.

Ron: "..."

This little old man is quite showy!!

Ron looked at the flying squirrel with amusement and waved his hand: "No need, Village Chief Slap, we are not here to eat for free. In fact, we have accepted the commission from Vice Admiral Garp and came to see if his grandson is doing well."

"I have a mission to complete and cannot stay for long. I hope you can understand."

"Oh! So you're looking for Luffy!"

Slap suddenly realized what was going on, but he still continued to lobby: "You have to eat first! The bastard ran into the mountains at dawn and didn't come out. If you want to see him, you have to wait until night."

"Hmm? Is it because you have to go home at night?"

The flying squirrel asked curiously.

"No, because he would be too hungry to go down the mountain to find something to eat at night."

Flying Squirrel: "..."

Please refer to the part where the Straw Hat Pirates and Reiju meet to learn about Luffy's cooking skills. Before Ace went out to sea, Ace took care of him. Now that Ace has gone out to sea, and he doesn't want to go to Dadan's house for a meal (he will be called spineless), you can imagine what kind of life Luffy has. There are many wild animals in the mountains, but he can't just eat raw meat and drink blood, right?
No wonder Garp asked the flying squirrel to stop by for a visit.

No one knows his grandson better than his father!
Having said that, Flying Squirrel didn't want to make things difficult for Slap. He turned around and looked at Ron, then nodded, "Okay, please feel free to do as you please. There are still more than a dozen branches in the East China Sea that have not been investigated, so we can only stay for half a day at most."

"Half a day is enough! We have nothing else in Windmill Town, but we have plenty of wine and meat!"

Slap was overjoyed.

……

The only place in the town that could be used to entertain guests was the only tavern in the town. Makino, who was like a mother and a sister to Luffy, had a warm smile on her face and happily prepared food for the two of them.

Slap specially asked someone to bring a barrel of fine wine from the warehouse and filled it up for Ron and the flying squirrel.

"Come on, Mr. Prosecutor, on behalf of the suffering people of the East China Sea, I offer you a toast!"

After saying that, Slap took the lead and drank first as a sign of respect.

The flying squirrel wanted to explain that if the navy had not taken any action, there would not be any suffering people. But the other party's kindness was hard to refuse, and he drank the glass of wine with a bad taste.

Ron, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking about something, with a slight smile on his face, and drank it as well.

Sure enough, after a glass of wine, the tavern owner Makino's hands became bulging with veins, she tightly grasped her waist apron, and reminded Slap with a forced smile.

"Mr. Village Chief, you have high blood pressure and high blood lipids, don't drink too much!"

Ron: “Haha!”

This point has been mentioned in the original book. As the only tavern in the town, Slap's lifeline was firmly controlled by Machinaka.

"Say...what nonsense are you talking about, Makino!"

Slap flushed.

"I can't drink alcohol because I have a cold and fever. It's not a problem to drink a little on normal days... probably."

"Oh? Maybe?"

Makino smiled with a fake smile.

Slap hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed resignedly: "Okay, I get it! Drink less and exercise more, I know it myself, there's no need for you, a little girl, to worry about it!"

"I'm glad you know. I'll go prepare the vegetable salad for you."

"Crap!!"

The flying squirrel twitched his lips as he watched from the side. It turned out that you invited us so enthusiastically because you wanted to take the opportunity to drink!
There was a burst of laughter all around, and the residents of Windmill Town all knew what kind of person Slap was.

At the same time they were also surprised.

Vice Admiral!
Hey, prosecutor of this department!
You don't have any airs at all?

You know, even if any 18th-tier noble from the Kingdom of Goa came to their village, their arrogant attitude could be smelled from miles away.

On the contrary, the real powerful figures, the vice admirals of the headquarters like the familiar Garp, were not arrogant at all.

Sitting in a simple tavern drinking wine, changing clothes and being like an ordinary person. Although his temperament is a bit scary, it is normal for a soldier to have such momentum. Didn't Garp scare children to tears in the past?

After three rounds of drinks, Slap suddenly thought of something and couldn't help asking.

"By the way, Lord Canglong, I have a question for you. Of course, this question is a bit excessive, and you are free to refuse to answer it."

"You're welcome, Village Chief Slap. As long as it doesn't involve secrets, I will tell you everything for the sake of Mr. Kapu..."

Ron's eyes sparkled, he had guessed what Slap was going to ask.

What would you do?
So looking forward to it!
