[One Piece] Even the Four Emperors Shanks will show you the strategy

"Mr. Raleigh..."

"Rayleigh, are you getting older and starting to miss the past?"

"Hahahaha I don't admit it... Shanks, you have to take good care of Xiao Shinobu."

"Yes! I will!"

"Xiao Ren, if this brat doesn't obey, don't be polite."

"Hahaha, beat him all over the head?"

No need to give instructions at all! She complained. Shanks' left and right hands were now occupied by luggage, and he was carrying a bear-like baggage three times as big as him on his back. And she had nothing in her hands...only the Baileys they had saved in her crossbody bag...Disobedient? nonexistent.

"This egg is also left to you." As he spoke, Jabba had already transported the egg off the ship. "Originally, you also found it. I just don't know when it will hatch."

"When it hatches, we will show it to you!"

"Then I'm looking forward to it!" Jabba said in a brisk tone, patting the two of them on the shoulders, "Okay, let's go."

"Thank you, Mr. Jabba, Mr. Reilly! Thank you for taking care of me in the past!"

Shinobu and Shanks bowed to them together, bending deeply at the waist. The big and heavy baggage almost made Shanks fall over, so Shinobu hurriedly grabbed the baggage to help him stabilize his body.

Rayleigh and Jabba turned their backs to them and did not say any more sensational words. Instead, they raised their arms and waved their hands gently.

……

The Oro Jackson faced the sun and drifted away with a load of memories.

"Welcome ~ Shinobu-chan, Shanks-chan~"

With the crisp sound of wind chimes, the old but solid wooden door of the bar was pushed out a gap. The proprietress was a woman in her forties. Although she was middle-aged, she had purple hair that reached her waist and was neatly combed into a twist. The braid rests on the shoulders. The body is straight, the waist is slender and there is no aging at all, and the charm is still there. She was wiping the wine glass with a brand new rag. When she heard the voice, she knew who it was without raising her eyes.

"That's amazing, Miss McCalla!" Shanks pushed open the door and strode in. Shinobu followed him. She raised her head, and the wind chime was still shaking slightly.

A blue-gold iron handicraft made like an origami airplane has a mast erected from the middle, with a white sail raised above it. Two seagulls landed on it, one seemed to be resting, and the other spread its wings to fly. There are four or five gold chains hanging under the plane, tied to iron rods, and stars covered by glass. It is they that collide with each other to make the sound.

This style of wind chime has only been seen here. The workmanship is very good, complex and exquisite, and it brings a different atmosphere to the bar.

"Miss McCalla, I've been saying this for a long time, this is so beautiful," she pointed to the top of her head, "Where did you buy it from?"

Shanks had already gone over and sat down at the bar. McCalla got him a glass of beer. When she heard Xiao Ren's question, she smiled: "I made it myself. If you like it, I will teach you when I have the chance."

Xiao Ren was grateful, and took three steps and two steps to grab McCalla's hands: "Wow! If you can, please teach me!"

"It's easy to say~"

"Ah~" Shanks downed more than half of the glass of wine in one breath, and then let out a satisfied sigh, "Miss McCullagh, do you also know what to expect?"

"What is that?" She shrugged in confusion, then took out a new cup from the cabinet below and pushed it in front of Xiao Ren, "Xiao Ren, do you still want to drink that?"

"Well, I want to change my taste today."

"What do you want to drink?"

"Not ready yet……"

"How about chocolate milk?"

"Yeah, that's it! Thank you!" A brown liquid was poured into the transparent cup, and the sweet fragrance overflowed. Xiao Xin held the side of the cup and took a sip, "He was probably asking why you could do it when we didn't go in." Know that we are here.”

"At this time, you are the only ones who will come... Speaking of which, this bar is obviously located in a remote location close to the mountains, so why do you still come across half the village to drink here every day?"

"It's up to him to ask."

She elbowed Shanks, and Shanks raised his head with innocent eyes: "Because the wine here is the best. Shinobu thinks so too, right?"

"I can do either, but I like the atmosphere here very much..." She doesn't like to be crowded with a group of drunkards. This place is a bit like a modern bar. In comparison, of course she likes it here. She held her chin, He leaned on the bar quite comfortably, "Speaking of which, we have never been here in the afternoon. Miss McCalla, will there be many people here at night?"

"Nothing." McCalla was looking for something in the freezer. Hearing this, he paused and sighed, "Maybe he's on the verge of bankruptcy."

"Huh?" After hearing her words, Boss Shanks didn't believe it, "It tastes so good?"

Xiao Ren thought for a while: "Because the location is not good, right? It's a bit far from the village... Miss McCalla also has a daughter to raise, right? Why not move the bar to the center of the village?"

"That will cost a lot of money..."

"Is it still a financial problem? I think you can become a teacher. I heard the salary is enough to support the family. How about opening the bar on weekends?"

"Doesn't this mean we can't come here every day?"

Shanks, the clever little ghost, asked a fatal question. Xiao Shinobi had three question marks on his head and hit him on the head with one hand on his hip. "Idiot, you have to think about Miss McCalla!"

"Really? Then..." He covered the place where Xiao Nin knocked, "Miss McCalla, I will help you!"

"Huh? How are you going to help me?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Give me money?"

Very simple and straightforward. If you are short of money, I will give you money.

Xiao Ren: "..." Hey! You are a pirate not a philanthropist!

"Thank you, little Shanks, no need to bother you, I will open the bar."

"Huh?" Although he didn't agree with Shanks' behavior of throwing away money, Xiao Ren was still puzzled by McCalla's choice. Why would he stick to a bar that was about to close down?

McCalla took out a plate of sliced ​​pineapples from the refrigerator, poured them into a large glass jar with a faucet that had been rinsed, and contained a dozen ice balls. The coconut was chopped four times neatly, and the hard coconut shell was as obedient as tofu in her hands. She broke it open and lifted the coconut's heavenly cover.

True, the song of killing coconuts.

"After all, you have to make money." She said as she was doing it, pouring coconut milk into the glass jar until it was two-thirds full, then opened the milk and poured two bottles of different kinds of rum into it, and finally used a long spoon to pour it in. Stir well.

"Didn't you say you were about to go bankrupt?"

There was some bitterness in her eyes, but she didn't answer. Instead, she took a glass of mixed wine and handed it to Xiao Ren, "You can try the new product."

"You made it especially for me, right?"

She remembered that when she ordered coconut milk for three days in a row, McCalla complained that she was a coconut head... Most of the juices in this world were freshly squeezed, and she felt a little sour. This was the most polite drink she could think of... Shanks came here every day, so she was asked to ask the bar owner if there was any oatmeal yogurt?

She has also become a little tired of coconut milk recently... Maybe McCalla noticed it and took care of her taste.

Full of emotion, she picked up the cup and took a sip. The mellowness of the milk, the sweetness of the pineapple and the fragrance of the coconut were connected together by the needle-like rum, creating a wonderful taste.

She didn’t know how many failures she had experienced. She was so overwhelmed with mixed emotions that she almost burst into tears. She tremblingly raised the wine glass above her head like a Buddha statue, and shouted: “It’s so, so delicious!”

"As long as you like it, and please take care of my business."

"What does it taste like?" Shanks scratched his head curiously, and Shinobu handed him the half-empty wine glass. He didn't hesitate at all and drank from the glass she used.

Regarding this, Xiao Ren would blush at first, but now... he is as calm as an old dog. This is what pirates are like, just get used to it...

"It tastes good!" Shanks put down the bottomed cup and expressed his evaluation to McCalla, "But I have beer."

"After all, little Shanks is easy to feed~" McCalla smiled, "What have you been preparing for these two days?"

They rented two cheap rooms in a third-rate hotel and struggled with the boss for a while before he allowed them to freely decorate and build a small door between the rooms. Then there is the cleaning of the room. In Xiao Ren's words, "Who knows who lived in this room before? What if there is garbage stuffed in the room or there is a virus or something like that?"

Anyway, there was a lot of excitement. Time passed quickly. It has been a week since we got off the Jackson, and our pirate career based on this island is finally about to begin!

"I built a small boat and planned to visit the nearby islands."

"Is the ship strong enough? Can it withstand the storm?"

Facing McCalla's concern, Shinobu joked about Shanks: "If the boat capsizes, Shanks will swim back with me on his back~"

This was obviously a joke. Xiao Nin felt happy after saying it. McCalla also laughed when she saw this. The bar was full of joy, but Shanks, who was usually the most lacking in character, responded seriously: "Don't worry, Miss McCalla, I won't let anything happen to Shinobu."

"..."

McCalla and Shinobu looked at Shanks at the same time, and then turned back to each other at the same time. The bar was quiet for a moment, and after a while, laughter broke out even louder than before.

Only this time the smile was gentle.

Shinobu laughed so much that he leaned on the table and hit him on the back... Shanks was confused and didn't understand what he said to make these two women so happy.

But if the table is transparent... you can see Shinobu's red face buried in his arms...

Shanks, nerd, nerd, nerd... what are you talking nonsense... Say this in front of Miss McCalla, who has experienced everything in life and has not only been in love but also had children... Judging from her "understood something" expression, she must have misunderstood!

"mom!"

Another sound of wind chimes rang, and the savior of the awkward and sweet Shinobu appeared.

It was McCalla's 12-year-old daughter. At this time, she probably had just finished school.

"Brother Shanks and Miss Shinobi are here too!" She ran over with a bound, her ponytail tied with a yellow bunny hair rope swaying up and down, "Mom, I'm back!"
