As a pirate, he wants to be the king but relies on his son to conquer the world.

Haiyuan calendar year 1509.

Time flies, it has been eleven years since Sparrow came to this world, and he is already 25 years old.

However, he did not choose to be a pirate or a navy, but became a businessman by accident.

Although he was tall, over 2.8 meters tall, he also carried a knife over 2 meters long.

It looks like... he is a powerful swordsman!

Sparrow's current identity can be considered a capitalist. He was a proletarian in his previous life, but now he has become a capitalist. Relying on the ability of pregnant fruits to sell livestock and poultry at low prices, it almost monopolizes the nearby breeding industry, which in turn affects the catering industry. By the way, it relies on cargo ships to travel to various countries and regions in the East China Sea, purchasing and selling specialties from various places, and earning profits and assets from them. Hundreds of billions of beli have been accumulated secretly.

Recently, news came from his subordinates that red-haired Shanks had arrived in the East China Sea. After hearing the news, Sparrow prepared to stay in Windmill Village.

At this moment, Windmill Village Pier.

The people on the dock were already familiar with the arrival of the Sparrow cargo ship.

Every time Sparrow's ship docked, the dock would be packed with people.

Men, women, and children were all waiting for Sparrow to dock, as if they were at a market.

Today is no exception.

"Sparrow!"

Luffy was also at the dock. He jumped, waved his arms vigorously, and shouted towards Sparrow.

Sparrow, who was standing on the bow of the ship, waved towards Luffy.

"Sparrow, what good things did you bring this time?"

"Sparrow, I want a puppet."

"Sparrow, I want the lipstick and stockings from Rogue Town."

The children and women on the dock all asked Sparrow with expectant eyes.

Sparrow's ship slowly docked at the dock.

Afterwards, he got off the boat, and the people of Windmill Village were very enthusiastic about him.

Behind Sparrow, the artificial people also moved down the boxes, wine barrels, sacks, etc. one by one.

Although Sparrow is indeed handsome and tall, men all know that Sparrow and Maginot are a couple.

In their opinion, Sparrow deliberately stopped at Windmill Village just to see Maginot.

Sparrow is rumored to be with Maginot.

Although the windmill village is close to the pier, the merchant ships passing here will not stop deliberately, but continue to the capital of the Kingdom of Gaya.

Therefore, people in Windmill Village cherish every shopping opportunity.

Sparrow's employees displayed and sold the cosmetics on the cargo ship one by one, as well as some trendy women's clothing, including sexy underwear, stockings, etc.

These items are very popular.

In addition, there are toys such as dolls, building blocks, puzzles, and toy guns.

The children in Windmill Village also like these.

As a businessman, Sparrow knew that women and children were the most profitable.

As for the man's money, Sparrow also didn't let go.

"Cigar from the West Sea."

"Photo album of female celebrities, including swimsuits and uniforms."

The artificial people were holding magazines, waving cigar boxes, and shouting hard.

Ordinary men have almost no resistance to these two types of things.

Sparrow stood nearby counting the merchandise and money.

At this time, Luffy was sitting on the box, holding the watermelon given to him by Sparrow in his hand. While eating, he asked: "Sparrow, when can you take me out to sea!"

Sparrow replied casually: "You have to ask your grandpa."

Luffy muttered: "I really want to see the outside world."

Sparrow didn't answer. As a time traveler, he knew Luffy's character very well.

However, the reason why Luffy was eager to go to sea at this time was not because of Shanks' influence, but because of Sparrow.

Since Sparrow saw Luffy in Windmill Village, in order to grasp the plot trends, Sparrow would visit Windmill Village every few months and stay for a few days.

During these days, Sparrow would spend time in Maginot's Tavern.

During this period, villagers will ask Sparrow about his experiences and gossip at sea.

Bloody battles, evading extortion from local tax collectors, nobles fighting for inheritance, duels initiated by lovers, etc.

Sparrow's answer made the young Luffy become full of curiosity and longing for the world.

Sparrow raised his hand, rubbed Luffy's head, and said, "When you grow up, you can go to sea."

"Sparrow."

The gentle female voice, like a trickle of water, reached Sparrow's ears.

Sparrow raised his head and looked at the girl standing in front of him.

The girl wore an orange plaid scarf on her head. She put her hands behind her back, her fingers resting uneasily where Sparrow could not see them.

Behind the girl, there is a cart specially used to haul wine.

"Mackino, long time no see."

Sparrow took the initiative to say hello.

Maginot's cheeks were a little red. She glanced at Sparrow's face secretly, then quickly lowered her head and replied, "Long time no see. Is it still your wine this time?"

Sparrow replied: "And Shieldstown wine."

Sparrow loaded all the wine into the car.

"Sparrow, please marry Maginot home quickly."

"Mackino is so happy."

The men and women were cheering, while Luffy was scratching his head.

The topic of marriage is too early for him and a bit difficult to understand.

Amid their jeers, Sparrow left the employees to continue handling the goods while he and Maginot headed to the tavern.

Sparrow was wearing an apron and was busy in the tavern with Maginot.

There were a lot of guests today, including not only villagers from Windmill Village, but also guests from other places.

Except for a few people who stayed on the ship, most of the artificial people on Sparrow's merchant ship came to the tavern.

"Lady boss, please add another teppanyaki."

"Boss boss, I also want to add another kebab."

"Boss lady, I also want a piece of 'the boss's secret pumpkin pie'."

The artificial people kept saying "boss lady", and Maginot's face became increasingly red.

Sparrow smiled and did not scold them loudly.

It seems that this statement is accepted by default.

"Wow! It's so spicy!"

"Boss, you want to kill me, boss lady, I want to apply for a work-related injury!"

An android ate Sparrow's 'special' devil's spicy pumpkin pie, performing in an extremely exaggerated manner.

Later, Maginot brought a large glass of ice water with lemon.

After drinking this glass of ice water, the artificial man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah~~I'm alive again."

"Hahaha……"

In the tavern, the artificial people and villagers laughed, and the air was filled with joy.

"Pirates, pirates are coming!"

At this time, a villager ran in. He had lost his left shoe and looked very panicked.

The bar suddenly became quiet.

Pirate, this word is not pleasant at all.

Although people hate the navy, pirates are more hated and feared than the navy.

Except for the 'adventure-style' pirate group like Luffy who 'adventures and hunts for treasure', the vast majority of pirates kill, burn, loot and commit all kinds of evil.

Sparrow, who was cutting meat, stopped with the knife in his hand.

"boss."

At this time, the artificial people stood up.

Sparrow said without looking back: "Go and see our ship."

"Yes." More than thirty androids stood up at the same time and left the tavern.

After all, with the beginning of the Great Pirate Age, the number of pirates on the sea has increased sharply, and it is not surprising for merchant ships to be attacked by pirates.

"Sparrow..." Maginot looked at Sparrow.

Sparrow turned around, smiled at Maginot, and said, "I'm here, nothing will happen."

"Yes." Maginot nodded seriously.
