Pirate: My partner is too crooked

The sun is setting and it is dusk.

The soft orange glow spills out, adding a bit of haze to the houses and streets of the windmill village.

The refreshing sea breeze blows from the direction of the sea, driving the huge windmill in the village to rotate slowly.

Free from the occasional intrusion of the Sige Mountain Bandits, even the air in the windmill village has become much milder, with a quiet atmosphere that makes people feel comfortable and secure.

Inside Lin Zhi's restaurant.

"Lord Lin Zhi~ I don't know how much bounty we will get for this crusade against the thief Seeger?"

Akuya licked her face and jumped to Lin Zhi's side, and even her voice was much gentler and more beautiful than usual.

Just now, when Lin Zhi was docking the bounty with the merchant going to sea, she was burying her head in cooking and did not know the specific amount.

However, the scene where Lin Zhi filled a pile of Bailey into the sack was seen by her.

"After all the miscellaneous expenses, there is almost seven million Baileys."

Lin Zhi put away the Bailey after counting and sat comfortably in the old position at the front desk of the restaurant.

Hearing this, Akuya's clear eyes with stupidity instantly lit up.

During this period of living in Windmill Village, she naturally understood the monetary value of the pirate world and understood how nourishing this bounty was when it was used for drinking.

According to the price of the Trevi Fountain, seven million Baileys can be exchanged for two she still has left!

"That's great, that's right, I heard that Marcino's family has several new delicious wines, let's go over and buy them all later!"

Speaking of fine wine, Akuya, as a senior drunkard, has no resistance at all.

This is also the fundamental reason why her attitude towards Lin Zhi suddenly became so, forehead, and so flattering.

"No, we will also go to sea soon, and this fund must be saved, and we wish for a new partner."

Lin Zhi refused without thinking. Hearing this,

Akuya's expression changed, and she said with her hands on her waist: "How can this be!" I also put a lot of effort into the crusade against Seeger, and the bounty will score at least half of me!

"Thank you for your efforts, so that I can't kill Sig in the cleanest way."

"Thank you for your efforts to destroy all my newly bought flintlock musket."

"Thanks to your efforts, I also have to compensate the village for the cost of rebuilding the dock."

Listening to Lin Zhi's three consecutive from the soul, the disobedience on Akuyaqiao's face gradually became unfirm, and her heart was so weak that her eyes turned left and right irregularly.

"Besides, no matter how I say it, I also played a role!"

Akuya also wanted to mess around, seeing Lin Zhi's unmoved expression, thinking of the mellow and delicious wine of the Marcino Tavern, and threw the dignity of the goddess aside without hesitation.

I saw her flutter over, hugged Lin Zhi's thighs tightly, and pleaded with a grievance cry:

"Lord Lin Zhi, please share the bounty with me, the wine will be snapped up when it is late!" I promise that I will definitely work harder to clean the toilet in the future to repay your kindness!

Having long expected that this stupid goddess would be so unrestrained, Lin Zhi took a slow sip of black tea and stretched.

"Strange, is it a problem left after the battle with Seeger? How to feel a little sore shoulder.

This product is a character who gets carried away and can't find the north after giving a little benefit, so it can't be easily compromised.

"Happy to help you!"

Akuya's eyes dripped and she immediately got up to help Lin Zhi squeeze her shoulders.

"The sun is about to go down, why does it still feel so hot?"

"Please command Akuya as much as you like!"

Akuya took out two folding fans as if by magic, interspersed with the massage, and fanned the wind very hard.

Lin Zhi sipped black tea, felt the soft touch on his shoulders, and the refreshing fragrance brushed his cheeks, which was very pleasant.

A few minutes later, seeing that the time was about the same, he looked back at the smiling Akuya and gave him a look of agreement.

"If you want to drink anything, go directly to Marcino's tavern and get it, just tell Marcino and I'll pay for it."

"Understood! Lord Lin Zhi!

Akuya was ecstatic, retreated to the empty place in the restaurant lobby, and took the initiative to perform the unique skill of flowers and birds spraying water with a fan.

"This is a talent show especially for the generous Lord Lin Zhi~"

When the words fell, he ran out of the restaurant with a "whoosh", and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zhi looked speechlessly at the dining table and chairs soaked by the water and the restaurant floor, and in his heart 10,000 Jeni turtles rushed past.

This stupid goddess...

Soon, the sound of clanging bottles clashing came from outside the restaurant.

Lin Zhi, who was drinking black tea, looked up and saw two large boxes with white and beautiful legs walking in.

"Lin Zhi, I negotiated with Marcino, she said that the whole package will be discounted by eight!"

The long blue hair fell naturally, and Akuya's head poked out from behind the box, with a bright smile full of joy on her mouth.

"Let's put it in the warehouse behind the restaurant first, I'll go and calculate the money with Marcino."

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhi did not show much grief of heavy bleeding, got up and passed by Akuya, and walked out of the restaurant.

With that calm and indifferent abnormal expression, even Akuya, who was holding the big box, couldn't help but look back at him.

Lin Zhi, who had already planned this batch of wine in his heart, walked through the street, exchanged a few daily pleasantries with the villagers passing by, and came to Marcino's tavern.

Push open the wooden baffle at the door and enter the tavern, the faint and fragrant smell greets you.

Compared to the scruffy hotels with the stench, the environment cleanly kept by Marcino is more relaxing.

"Here you are, Boss Lin Zhi."

Marcino in front of the bar was cleaning up the counter, saw Lin Zhi coming over, raised his head and smiled and said hello.

"Marcino, Akuya just got two cases of wine here, right?"

Lin Zhi was also very familiar with this side, so he casually found a position near the bar and sat down.

"Well, as soon as she walked in the door, she said she was going to buy all the wine."

Marcino's eyes flickered, remembering the strange appearance of Akuya's crazy laughter just now, and said with a little worry, "I saw that her mental state seemed to be very bad, so I didn't refuse, and agreed to her request to bring all the drinks back at a discount."

While speaking, Marcino had already prepared a glass of juice and brought it to the small wooden table where Lin Zhi was.

It turns out that the so-called all-inclusive eight-fold discount was decided by the stupid goddess herself...

The corner of Lin Zhi's mouth twitched, and he took a sip of juice: "That guy is such a reckless character and causes you trouble."

"It's okay, it's the tavern's business thanks to your care."

Marcino still had a dignified and gentle tone, "Anyway, I want to come here to get it, so I should store it with you and sell it, and if the money is sold, I can just calculate it."

You may not know that the drunkard wants to drink the two large boxes of wine for himself, and has no intention of selling them at all...

Lin Zhi silently complained in his heart, and then took out the prepared Bailey.

"It's not a secret, we don't plan to sell those two cases of wine in the store, so I'd better buy it directly for how much the original price is."

After seeing Marcino's concerns, he added, "Don't worry about money, I received a lot of bounty for defeating Seeger this time."

Lin Zhi intercepted the fleeing bandits halfway and forced them into a corner, which had long been spread in Windmill Village and was known as the hero of the village.

Thinking of this, Marcino's slightly furrowed brows slowly stretched, no longer worried about Lin Zhi's financial problems.

"Then thank Boss Lin Zhi for his care, as for the price, let's calculate it according to the eight discounts that Akuya said."

Buying alcohol in large quantities itself has a discount, and their relationship is very good, and the discount of eight percent is actually not excessive at all.

"No need, the original price is as much as it is." Lin Zhi insisted.

"If it's so polite, then I won't sell it."

Marcino raised her fingers and crossed them in a gesture representing rejection.

"Then it depends on the meaning of the hostess."

Lin Zhi nodded cheerfully and stretched out his palm towards Magino, "Happy transaction."

"Deal, pleasant..."

This kind of operation with a 180-degree change in attitude before and after made Marcino, who was still thinking about how to adhere to the eight-discount discount, a little confused. The price of the

wine taken away by Akuya after discounting was 800,000 Bailey, which was almost half a year's income of the restaurant.

This made Lin Zhi couldn't help but sigh, this spending money is really much easier than making money!

"Listen to the carpenter masters in the village, are you and Akuya going to sea soon?"

After the settlement, Magino, who was free, thought for a while, and finally asked the curiosity in her heart.

"That's right, if nothing else, I'll be leaving in a few days." Lin Zhi affirmed this.

According to his previous suggestions, under the overtime work of carpenters and shipbuilders, the sailing ship with a spacious deck is nearing completion, and only some additional equipment is needed to launch the water.

At that time, it was the beginning of his departure from the windmill village and towards the magnificent world!

"The sea is really a place full of infinite charm."

Marcino sighed in a low voice, her eyes lowered, looking a little sad, "Shanks, they will also set sail to that legendary new world in the near future."

Speaking of Shanks, Lin Zhi suddenly thought of Luffy.

"By the way, why haven't you seen Luffy's smelly boy in the past two days?"

This product used to run to the restaurant almost every day to eat and drink for nothing, and after Akuya appeared, he came over very frequently every day.

But since the incident of Shanks' broken arm on the beach, this guy has been difficult to see again.

"Luffy."

Magino was surprised when she heard this, and made a look at the most remote location of the tavern.

Lin Zhi looked up and realized that Luffy was like a boiled cabbage, and now he was lying in an inconspicuous corner!

"Shanks' affairs seem to have cast a shadow on this child, and he has been this listless look lately."

Marcino also looked at Luffy in the corner and sighed softly, "I can't listen to Shanks, and it will take a while to recover."

"Is that so?"

Lin Zhi lowered his head and pondered for a while, and drank the remaining juice on the table, "He just lacks the courage to step forward, let me try it."

With that, he stood up and walked slowly towards Luffy.

More than ten minutes later.

"Starve! Lin Zhi, I want to eat bird egg fried rice, ten bowls!! A

familiar loud voice sounded, and Luffy, who had regained his former vitality, jumped out of the high chair, rushed out of the dark corner, and ran out of the tavern and ran to the restaurant diagonally opposite.

"If you have the money, you can eat as many bowls as you want." Lin Zhi shouted towards the small back.

However, Luffy ran away as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

"That kind of thing, when I become the Shanghai Thief King, it will definitely be settled!" A

slightly childish voice came from the constantly swaying wooden door baffle, and gradually drifted away.

"This, Boss Lin Zhi, what did you say to him?"

Marcino stood in place, her beautiful face full of incredulity.

Out of respect, she didn't specifically eavesdrop on Lin Zhi's conversation with Luffy just now.

"I didn't say anything, it's just a small story of a hot-blooded teenager gathering partners and chasing his dreams."

With a smile on his face, Lin Zhi waved his hand towards Marcino, who tilted his head a little unclear.

"As you can see, when the customers come to the store, they leave first."

......

Next, while waiting for the ship to be completely completed and delivered, Lin Zhi began to make various preparations before setting sail, including chart compasses, medical medicine boxes, daily necessities, and so on.

While taking advantage of the fact that the cadres of the red-haired pirate group were in the village, they asked for advice on the domineering and armed domineering, and even conducted several guided practical battles.

With the answers to questions of these domineering masters, Lin Zhi's two-color domineering has made rapid progress, completely consolidated in the new stage of cuteness, and can be launched as he wishes!

As for the cost, that is, the loss of a few free meal tickets, it is almost negligible.

And Akuya, as a companion, was not idle, wandering among the seven aunts and eight aunts of the windmill village all day long, publicizing how sacred and great her Akusis religion was.

The kind and simple villagers couldn't see such a cute beautiful girl who was terminally ill, plus Lin Zhi's reputation in the village was very good, so he was very willing to cooperate with Akuya's request to act, and became...

Well, a member of the Akusis religion that believes in the goddess of water!

Although Akuya, who has gone through the publicity process, and Luffy, who comes to rub rice as usual, often make the restaurant jump and make all kinds of trouble.

But every time, he would be attacked by Lin Zhi's loving hand knife without accident, with a large and a small bag on his head, squatting on the ground to apologize humbly and sincerely.

Time flies by in this harmonious and noisy daily life.

Finally, on a sunny afternoon, three regular customer carpenters brought good news that the ship belonging to Lin Zhi and Akuya's adventure was officially completed!

All the preparations are ready to set sail anytime, anywhere!

On the night before leaving, according to the unwritten rules of the pirate world, Lin Zhi temporarily decided to hold a lively banquet.

It is not only to thank the villagers of Windmill Village for their care over the past year, but also to repay the domineering guidance of the red-haired pirate group, but also to say goodbye to their difficult year of life!

As a result, the news that the restaurant owner Lin Zhi was going to sail tomorrow instantly spread throughout the windmill village.

Luffy, Magino, the head of Windmill Village, three carpenters, sea-walking merchants, and all the villagers who had a good relationship with Lin Zhi all attended the scene and enthusiastically brought their own vegetables and beef. (Luffy with a mouth) The

members of the red-haired pirate group, including Shanks, naturally showed up very face-saving.

The banquet, it is naturally impossible for a playful pirate like them to miss it!

Night falls and the stars are lit.

As the bonfire representing the revelry is lit and the pirates sing Binks' wine, this banquet on the open beach officially begins!

As the protagonist of the banquet, Lin Zhi appeared on the beach reef far from the center of the banquet bonfire at this time.

Deep eyes looked at the dark sea in the distance, and his expression was serious.

Next to him, the red-haired Shanks, who had taken off his straw hat, looked much more casual, wearing slippers, sitting cross-legged with his knees folded, and a large beer at his feet.

"How about Lin Zhi, what I just proposed is quite good, right?"

Shanks supported the side of his face with one hand, seemingly accustomed to the impact of the broken arm on himself.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, and warm expectation and excitement in his eyes, he said sincerely, "Become my partner and go and turn the world upside down together!"

Witnessing how Lin Zhi forced the mountain thief Sige into a corner, and how he used his body to help his partner block the slash, he couldn't help but feel the heart of wooing.

I want to fight for as many waves as possible before it goes to sea.

You know, the current red-haired pirate group is not the size of the newcomers when they were first formed, but they have a team with enough prestige in the new world with a harsh environment.

In this case, Shanks, as the captain, is also willing to take the initiative to invite Lin Zhi, who has just learned to be domineering in two-color, which shows how much he likes Lin Zhi!

"Sorry Shanks, I don't have the idea of being a pirate at the moment."

Lin Zhi rightfully chose to refuse.

Although he is still a weak chicken, he has quite huge ambitions and wants to reach the top in this era of strong people!

"It's a shame that that's true."

Shanks sighed heavily, lowered his head in disappointment, and the light of anticipation in his eyes slowly dissipated.

As if feeling Lin Zhi's unwavering determination, he did not continue to say more on the topic of wooing, but slowly raised the wine glass at his feet. "Since you don't want

to be a pirate, and you don't look like you're going to join the navy, then in what capacity do you want to go to sea this time?" Adventure group or tourist? Lin Zhi raised his glass and touched Shanks,

raised his head and drank a large mouthful, then opened his mouth and asked: "Shanks, have you forgotten what I do?"

Shanks raised his hand proudly to wipe the wine stains from his mouth, thought about it, and tentatively asked, "Open a restaurant on the sea?"

"Barely, on the sea without supplies, food and wine must be able to sell for a considerable price."

That's right, embarking on an adventure as a sea restaurant owner was Lin Zhi's deliberate decision!

First of all, he already has experience in running restaurants, and can make money while sailing, ensuring maximum profits.

Secondly, there is no need to be chased and blocked by the navy and pirate hunters like pirates.

Of course, there is another very important point.

"Now the largest number at sea is not some serious caravan and tour group, but the heinous pirates."

Without thinking, Shanks expressed his opinion, "Do business with those guys who have always liked to eat overlord meals, don't say sell meals at high prices, if you don't get a good one, you will put yourself in!"

Lin Zhi did not show a worried expression after hearing this, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an extremely gentle smile.

"It's not a secret, the main reason why I decided to open a sea restaurant is..."

"I want to do the business of these pirates who plan to eat the Overlord meal!"
