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

"Hatch?" Shanks thought seriously for a moment, and then they looked at each other in unison, showing mysterious smiles.

after an hour

There are heads and faces in the mountains... ah, no, they are larger animals. They all have a bunch of bags on their heads and form a circle around the eggs. They hold hands obediently and use their own body temperature to warm the eggs.

Just now I said that I have a head and a good face, which is actually true. This kind of people are used to being kings and hegemons. They are the fifty emperors among beasts. This time... they lose face.

And the two culprits who caused this tragedy...whether it was Shanks or Shinobu, the expressions on their faces were very complicated. My conscience must have discovered it! them……

Three points happy, three points happy, four points joyful...

In short, I can’t bear to feel sad! Are you really embarrassed?

"That'll be no problem!"

"I guess so." Xiao Ren nodded with satisfaction, "If it still doesn't work...then there must be something wrong with the egg! It's a bad guy."

You, the unfortunate animals, listened to the conversation between the two and smiled on the outside. They had been forced to do so, but now they began to sympathize with the tragic fate of the same kind that fell into the hands of the enemy. On the one hand, they don't want their kind to be persecuted when they are born, but on the other hand, they want it to be born quickly so that they can end their fate of being enslaved.

When those two violent and savage humans talked about the bad guy, they clearly felt... their lifeless eggs move...

……

"Sister Shinobu, are you back?"

Opposite the hotel where they stayed was a fruit shop. The owner was a young man in his 20s, with a stocky build and a full beard on his chin. He was wearing a wide black T-shirt, revealing his wheat-colored skin. The hem of the clothes was tucked into cropped trousers, making him look much smarter.

Not like someone who runs a fruit stand, but like someone who plays boxing.

If Hua Qiang meets him... Hua Qiang is in danger.

"Yeah!" His name was also very common, exactly the kind of name someone would give in a small village. "Brother John, thank you for your hard work~"

"Hey, what's the hard work?" The tall and thick man scratched his cheek like a little girl, and after making a silly sound, he took the plate of cut fruit from the table on the side, "You are the one who runs around every day. Come and run around and get more nutrition!"

"Thank you~" She was not polite, she wanted money anyway. John did not accept her money at first, but she sternly refused, so she did not want to owe favors everywhere. Life is not easy for a small family, and she is too lazy to think of equivalent gifts in return...

The offer was the lowest price, and John didn’t make any money at all... because... she didn’t have to eat fruit every day! This may be a disguised form of forced buying and selling!

She expressed her wish "not to give it away again", but the stubborn John did not listen.

Is this the charm of "Teenage Killer"? Is it the character's exclusive title buff bonus? But if she could...she would prefer to be called "Midas into gold". Then she doesn't have to work hard.

"Did you go to the mountains again? The boat hasn't been built yet?"

"That's more or less it," she answered vaguely, not wanting Dandan's affair to be exposed.

"Where's Shanks? Why don't you see him?"

"Well, he went to town."

"At this time?" He looked up at the sun, "Oh, that's right, the town should be lively. Why didn't you go?"

Xiao Ren didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We don't stick together every day."

"elder brother!"

In the middle of their conversation, following the childish voice, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl jumped over with a schoolbag on her back. When she got close, she saw Xiao Nin there, raised her eyebrows, hugged John's arm, and acted like a baby. Shaking, "Brother~"

John touched his sister's head: "You came back much late today. Did you go to play with your friends?"

"Yeah! Let's go get some snacks!" She said and glared at Xiao Ren.

John's parents died young, and he and his sister were the only ones dependent on each other. He had raised her sister, so it was normal for the two of them to be close.

But...can you please stop treating her like a vicious stepmother? The corner of Xiao Ren's mouth twitched. She's not here to tear this family apart, she's here to join it!

Bah bah bah, she didn’t want to join...she was just a passerby!

John didn't notice his sister's little move and asked with a smile: "By the way, have you given the tuition to the teacher?"

"handed in!"

"That's good...how about Mia? I wonder how Miss McCalla will raise money this year..."

"Her, she's still dragging."

"I remember one year... Miss McCalla used the wine in the bar to pay for her tuition?"

"Not this year." Xiao Ren interrupted at the right time, which attracted another glare from John's sister. She ignored it with a blink and continued talking to John, "Shanks goes there every day. The bar business should be better?"

"Although I don't want to speak ill of Miss McCalla... but the location of that bar is remote and the food is expensive. It's a shame you guys persisted. But you've only been here for a short time, so you can make up for the tuition. Don't you order the most every time? Expensive wine?”

Of course not... But Shinobu didn't refute, just shrugged. She had just listened to the conversation between John and his sister two days ago, and thought that there was only one school in the village... She would not give Bailey to others for no reason, but it was no problem if it was to buy wine.

McCalla is a very nice person, and Mia is also polite. Please help me if you can.

John thought she acquiesced and took a breath: "Is being a pirate so rich?"

"That's not true. Shanks took the money from home. As a pirate, I didn't earn a penny, so I paid back." She was joking, she didn't want to lure others to go to sea. Just seeing the glory of the successful pirates, the blood and bones of the losers can only be hidden behind the light, but they don't exist anymore.

How many lives does the sea swallow up every year?

Forget it if he is an orphan, but John has a family to support. He went to sea, and his younger sister will definitely have to be fostered elsewhere... If he can't come back...

Sin, sin.

"Is that so? I also said I wanted to give it a try... So, does Shanks come from a rich family?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ren nodded, then narrowed his eyes, showing an indescribable expression, and then shook his head.

John: "?"

He used his long-awaited brain to carefully analyze Xiao Ren's reaction, and finally came to the conclusion:

Shanks must be a noble and escaped secretly.

As soon as this idea came to him, the more he thought about it, the smarter he felt. No wonder Shanks is always lavish with money and has no concept of money... Miss Shinobu also takes special care of him, and won't really fight against him when he is annoyed...

She must have been his childhood sweetheart, growing up together...

maid!

"It's really not easy for a girl like you to become a pirate." John looked at her with a little heartache in his eyes and sighed.

Xiao Ren felt that the man opposite him suddenly became strange, but then he thought about it. The Age of Discovery had not yet come, and there were not so many pirates. There are not many young and beautiful girl pirates like her...

John's reaction was considered normal.

She waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay."

"It's better for girls to make a stable living."

"It's the opposite of what I expected..." She sighed. Her identity is very embarrassing. People who wanted to make a mess would go back to their hometowns, but as for her, she would have to work as a security guard for the nobles when she went back. If you stay in a certain village or town... you will have neither a house nor a land, and you will either have to work for the rest of your life, or you will find someone to marry.

None of them work! It's better to hug Shanks' thigh.

"What? Didn't you find the right person?"

What is the right person? Xiao Ren didn't understand. Before he could ask the question, a voice interrupted their conversation:

"What are you talking about?"

It's Shanks who's back. He was holding a brown paper bag in his hand. Seeing Xiao Ren looking towards him, he handed the bag to Xiao Ren, "I heard it was delicious, so I bought it."

"Huh?" She took it, and the moment she opened the paint seal, a strong fragrance of milk immediately hit her nostrils. They were cookies, light yellow, with a purple dried cranberry in the middle. The biscuits seemed to still have a warm residual warmth. She picked one up and put it in her mouth, "Thank you! But you didn't lose the money this time, which is really an improvement!"

"Lost the money?"

"Yes, I gave you a big bag of Baileys at the Seven Islands of Water! But you didn't buy anything, and Bailey couldn't be found..."

"You still remember this kind of thing..." He said this, but Shanks also remembered it. To be precise, he didn't lose it. He put it on the table and didn't take it at all... I don't know who took it away...

But we are all partners on the same ship, and it doesn’t matter who spends the time.

Seeing Shanks' indifferent expression, John was even more heartbroken than Xiao Ren. He couldn't help but persuade him: "Shanks, I can't compare to your family outside now, so you should save some money!"

Shanks, who inexplicably became a noble young master: "?" What are you talking about? ? ?

……

The next day was Sunday, the village was leisurely and lively than usual. There were three or four people gathered in McCalla's tavern. Everyone had just had lunch and was drinking, chatting and relaxing on their day off.

But mainly, they were all looking at Shinobu and Shanks who were learning fancy bartending from McCalla.

Those wine bottles, cups, everything in McCalla's hands are like Sun Wukong's golden cudgel. If it's not wrapped around the fingers, or if it's not wrapped around the neck, it has to be turned around several times before returning to where it belongs. The place...the wine bottle is always thrown into the air, a bit like the old man playing diabolo in the park...but there is no line.

Xiao Nin was dazzled by what he saw. Before he could remember what he added, McCalla finished mixing a cocktail...

"it is good!"

The moment McCalla finished her move, applause and cheers erupted in the bar. Shanks also clapped his hands happily, not knowing how much he had learned.

Xiao Ren can only follow the crowd... It's not that she doesn't think it's awesome, it's not that she doesn't understand the atmosphere... but... the point is to "learn"! Is it really okay for the two of them to just watch the fun? !

"Xiao-nin, little Shanks, do you remember?"

Sure enough, McCalla asked.

"Um, I..."

Little Ninja paused and looked at Shanks. Shanks didn't notice her gaze and smiled carelessly at McCalla: "Maybe?"

I guess so? She was even more surprised than McCalla. Wasn't Shanks' talent all focused on combat skills? I usually act dumb when it comes to other things... but I have a photographic memory!
