Above the Pirate King

Chapter 820 The beginning of the plot
Time flies by!
After the two countries left, a few months passed in the blink of an eye, and the time also came to the year [-] of the lunar calendar!

East China Sea!

Goa Kingdom Windmill Village Port

"Are you leaving?" Luffy stood on the port and asked Shanks with a smile.

If someone looked carefully at this time, they could feel the reluctance in Lu Fei's smile!
"Yeah, I've been here for too long, and we have to say goodbye!" Shanks replied with a smile while standing at the port with his back to Luffy, looking at the sea in the distance.

As he spoke, he changed his voice and asked again, "By the way, will you be lonely?"

Hearing these words, after a trace of sadness flashed in Lu Fei's eyes, he took a deep breath, showed a bright smile, and said, "Although I will be lonely, I won't ask you to take me away again, because I Decided to become a pirate myself!"

Hearing this, Shanks suddenly turned his head, showed a funny smile, and said mischievously, "I won't take you away anyway! And can someone like you become a pirate?"

"I will!" Luffy shouted with a stubborn face, "One day I will find a partner who can't lose to you guys, and find the world's number one treasure. One Piece!"

"Are you going to surpass us?" Shanks looked at Luffy's stubborn face, as if something was touched in his heart, smiled, and took off the straw hat that Roger had given him , pressed it on Luffy's head, and said, "Then I will leave this hat to you for safekeeping! It is my most important hat, so keep it safe!"

"Woo~"

Feeling the straw hat on top of his head and the warm hand on the straw hat, Luffy couldn't bear the emotion in his heart any longer, sobbing, tears streaming down his face!

Looking at this scene, Shanks didn't say anything more, after rubbing Luffy's head vigorously, he resolutely turned around and boarded his ship.

Soon!

As the ship set off, Shanks stood on the edge of the deck, smiled and looked at Luffy who was biting his lip and weeping in the port, thinking to himself, "You must return it to me in the future, when you become an outstanding Pirates, we have a date, Luffy!"

Just as Shanks was thinking, an ordinary-looking small merchant ship just entered the port at this time!
And just when the merchant ship and the ship of the red-haired pirates passed by, the red-haired, who was originally immersed in the sadness of parting, seemed to notice something, and suddenly turned to look at the merchant ship!
Coincidentally, a tall, strong and handsome blond man on the merchant ship seemed to sense something at this moment, and turned his head to look at Shanks!

Eye to eye!

The blond man was taken aback for a moment, then gave Shanks a bright smile!

But Shanks frowned subconsciously when he saw this smile!

Who is he?
So familiar!

Shanks couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"what happened?"

After a while, before Shanks could come up with a result, Ben Beckman at the side saw his pensive look and thought he had something on his mind, but hurriedly asked with concern.

Hearing this voice, Shanks immediately broke free from his contemplation.

"No!"

He shook his head slowly, and said hesitantly, "On the merchant ship that just passed, that person is a bit familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before. Well, maybe I'm thinking too much!"

"Really." Ben Beckman frowned and looked back at the merchant ship that just passed by, but he was also lost in thought!

Shanks thinking too much?

Ben Beckman couldn't believe it!

Having been together for so long, he knows Shanks very well!
Although usually a little nervous, funny, and joking, but in terms of intuition, it is still very effective, so he said that the person just now is somewhat familiar, it must be someone he is familiar with!

And right now.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Shanks' mind, he patted his head, and suddenly said, "I remembered! He is the king of St. Martin, a wanted criminal by the world government, and offers a reward worth 100 billion Pendragon Arthur!"
-
the other side!
After missing with Shanks, Arthur took a deep look at their ship and sighed, "It's still a step late, I haven't seen the Pirate King, and I haven't seen the famous scene of One Piece!"

After the Chinese New Year, Arthur is planning to come to Windmill Village!
Well, mainly to see the famous scene of the Bandit King and Shanks' broken arm!

After all, when I came to the world of Pirates, it would be a pity not to see this scene!
It's a pity that because of the many government affairs, he hurried to hurry, but he was still a step late, and only saw the scene where Shanks and others left just now!
"Forget it, it's all here. Since you haven't seen the famous scene, let's look at Luffy, Ace, and Sabo!" After thinking for a while, Arthur made a decision in his heart!

Although I didn't see the famous scene, it's good to see the protagonist in the future!

Thinking, Arthur stepped off the ship immediately after the merchant ship docked!
"My guest, what are you doing in our village?"

As soon as Arthur got off the boat, Up Slap, the village head of Windmill Village who had sent Shanks and his party away, stepped forward and asked with a trace of vigilance.

No wonder Slap was so careful!

Although the East China Sea is the safest sea area among the four seas, the safest does not mean there is no threat, and incidents of pirates attacking villages often occur.

Therefore, even if Windmill Village is a relatively poor town, even if Windmill Village is located in a remote place, even if Karp often comes back, Slap still has a little bit of precaution in his heart when he meets outsiders!

After all, everything is just in case!
"Oh, we are a passing merchant ship. We met the King of the Sea on the way, and lost a lot of supplies in order to escape, so I want to rest in your village for a few days to replenish supplies!" Arthur smiled and made an excuse at random!

"Ok!"

After listening to this answer, Slap looked the merchant ship up and down, nodded, and agreed, "In that case, welcome to come! I am Up Slap, the village chief here. If there is anything If so, you can ask me!"

What Arthur said is a common occurrence in the sea!
Generally speaking, when an ordinary merchant ship encounters a monster like the King of the Sea, it will either drop its cargo, lighten the ship's load, and then run away quickly, or attack it with artillery, hurt it, and let it escape. Or just kill it!
And Arthur, the merchant ship Slap, looked up and down and found that it was an ordinary merchant ship without any artillery, so it was normal to drop the supplies, lighten the ship's load, and escape!

"Hello village chief!" Arthur smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Slap, then asked, "By the way, village chief, do you have any hotel here, where you can let me stay?"

"Hotel," Slap said in a deep voice, "Our Windmill Village is just a small village, and no one usually comes here, and there are no hotels! If guests want a hotel, they can only take a boat around and go to our village. There is a hotel in the main city of Goa Kingdom!"

Although Windmill Village belongs to Goa Kingdom, because Goa Kingdom likes to isolate those poor and bad people in the kingdom, it has almost no connection with Goa Kingdom, let alone repaired roads!
Because of this, Slap asked Arthur to sail around to the main city of Goa Kingdom!

"Well, forget it! I'll live on the boat!" Arthur said in a deep voice.

Arthur was too lazy to go to the main city of Goa Kingdom!
In addition to being too lazy to continue walking, it was also because the society in the main city of Goya Kingdom was too deformed, which made him a little unhappy!
In order to become the so-called most beautiful country in the East China Sea, all the bad places that originally belonged to the kingdom are isolated from the society of the Goa Kingdom. What is the difference between this and deception?
And it was such a deformed society that Arthur naturally didn't have the mood to look at it, unless he captured it one day, so he chose to stay!

"Guest, if you don't mind. There is still a room in my bar, I can let you stay!" At this moment, Makino who also came to bid farewell to Shanks said softly.

Hearing her words, Arthur was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and said, "Okay!"

As he spoke, Arthur seemed to think of something again, and added, "Of course, I will pay for it!"

"Ok!"

Makino didn't say anything to refuse this, but she nodded and agreed with a slight smile.

Soon, Arthur asked the intelligence personnel on the merchant ship who followed him to watch the merchant ship, and entered the village with Makino!
