Pirate: Don't force me to swing the hammer

East China Sea.

Windmill Village.

Banquet bar.

"Captain, your rum!"

In the dim bar, a beautiful woman with short dark green hair and a headscarf handed a bottle of rum to the red-haired man in front of the bar and said softly.

"Thank you, Maggie!"

And just when the red-haired man picked up the rum and was about to drink it, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly rummaged for something in his arms.

After some searching, there was nothing in my arms.

Then, the red-haired man stood up suddenly. When he opened his clothes completely, a trace of black powder that looked like burned paper fell to the ground!

Looking at the black powder, the red-haired man's pupils shrank sharply, "How is this possible! Who can kill you?"

"Boss, what happened?"

A fat man who was eating meat looked at the red-haired man's anxious look and asked.

"Mihawk's paper of life turned into ashes!"

The red-haired man murmured softly.

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy bar fell silent instantly.

After a moment, many shocked voices sounded...

"Boss, are you lying!?"

"He is the 'World's Most Powerful Swordsman'. Who can kill him?"

"'Hawkeye' is dead!?"

"Boss, could it be that you lost the life paper of 'Eagle Eye' and that's why you are joking with us?"

"..."

boom--

The red-haired man slammed his fist on the bar, and then the bar became quiet again.

"Mihawk must have been killed by the Apostles! Don't forget, the 'monster' summoned by the Apostles almost wiped out our group!"

"Furthermore, from the intelligence analysis we have obtained during this period, the goal of the apostle group is to eliminate the 'Shichibukai', from the original 'Sand Crocodile' Sand Crocodile to the current 'Eagle Eye' Joracol ·Mihawk, I am now sure that the next target of the apostles is definitely the 'tyrant' Bartholomew Bear!"

After the red-haired man finished speaking, everyone in the bar became depressed.

The terrible 'monster' summoned by the apostles not only destroyed their ship, but also killed their companions. If the 'monster' hadn't disappeared suddenly, all of them might have been buried at the bottom of the sea!

The depressive atmosphere suddenly filled the entire bar, and I don’t know how long it took...

dong dong dong-

A sudden knock on the door suddenly woke up everyone in the bar.

The bar owner Maginot quickly walked to the door and apologized through the door: "Guest, I'm really sorry. Our bar is currently hosting friends and is closed to the public!"

"Sister Maginot, I'm Luffy! Dadan said he saw Shanks at your house, please let me in!"

A young man wearing a straw hat and a scar under his left eye shouted excitedly at the door of the bar.

"So it's Luffy! Let him in, Maggie."

After hearing this voice, Maginot nodded and opened the bar door.

Suddenly, bright sunlight shines through the door into the entire bar...

Under the sunlight, the faces of everyone in the bar were clearly visible.If Xiao Nuo were here, he would be able to recognize these people at a glance... They are clearly the 'Red-haired Pirates' who disappeared in the new world!

……

"Shanks~, you actually returned to Windmill Village. Are you coming back to see me?"

Luffy shouted excitedly to the red-haired man at the bar.

Hearing this, the red-haired man turned to look at Luffy and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Luffy!"

"Hahaha~Long time no see, Xiang..." However, Luffy stopped abruptly before he could finish his words.

Just because, when Shanks turned around completely, his exposed chest and neck were covered with extremely hideous burn scars.

"Shan... Shanks!" Luffy choked with sobs. After shouting the name, he hugged Shanks and started crying.

Shanks raised his right hand and stroked Luffy's head, and whispered: "Luffy has grown into a man, why is he still crying? Besides, scars are a symbol of manhood. Isn't this what Luffy told me?" "

"Xiang…Xiang, tell me, who hurt you like this? When I go to sea in the future, I will definitely beat him away!!"

Luffy said with tears on his face, extremely serious.

"Haha, if you want to help me avenge you, Luffy, you have to grow up quickly. Otherwise, I might have killed my enemy!"

Shank laughed.

When Luffy heard this, he jumped back and punched the air repeatedly, "Shanks, I'm very powerful now, my fists are as fast as bullets!"

"Really? If you can hit me, Luffy, I will admit that you are very powerful!"

Shanks said with a grin.

"Really?" Luffy looked excited, and then yelled: "[Rubber Pistol]."

Luffy's arm suddenly extended, and his fist hit Shanks' chest with strong wind.

"Luffy, it seems that you have practiced quite well over the years. But... this is not enough!"

Shanks smiled, turned slightly and easily dodged Luffy's powerful punch.

Seeing this, Luffy shouted again: "It's not over yet, Shanks! Take another move from me..."

"[Rubber machine gun]."

Suddenly, Luffy's fist was really like a machine gun bullet, turning into afterimages and sweeping towards Shanks.

"You're really messing around. We can't let you destroy Maggie's bar, Luffy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shanks suddenly appeared next to Luffy like a flash, and aimed at the latter's abdomen with a light punch.

boom--

After a slight muffled sound, Luffy suddenly fell to his knees with his belly full as if struck by lightning.

"Shanks, you're going too far! How can you hit Luffy? He's just a child."

After saying that, Maginot ran towards Luffy anxiously and quickly helped him up.

When Luffy stood up with difficulty, he endured the pain in his abdomen, showed a forced smile, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, Sister Maginot!"

Shanks, who used to be approachable in the past, looked at Luffy with a serious face and said:

"Luffy, grow up quickly. There is not much time left for you, this sea will soon fall into riots!"

Luffy was startled and said with confusion on his face: "Shanks, what are you talking about?"

"Hey!" Shanks sighed and said again: "Anyway, Luffy, please become stronger quickly!"

Beckman, who was drinking on the side, glanced back and forth between Shanks and Luffy thoughtfully. He had an illusion... The boss was causing trouble with the apostles and the group just because of this kid in front of him!

"Maggie, I'm sorry, I drank too much today and I lost my temper!"

"Humph!"

Maginot was a little angry. Shanks today made her very disgusted.

Shanks kept smiling and said: "Maggie, thank you for taking care of me these days. Now, my injuries and those of my friends are almost healed. It's time for me to go!"

Just as Maginot was about to ask to stay, Beckman took the lead and walked out of the bar. Others also got up when they saw this.

When Shanks saw that four familiar faces were missing from the companions walking by, his right hand subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword tightly.

Finally, when Shanks was about to walk out of the bar, Luffy suddenly shouted: "Shanks, I will definitely return this straw hat to you personally in the future!"

When Shanks heard this, he didn't say anything, but a smile appeared on his lips.
