Pirate: I'm Luffy's uncle

"Ah, I'm sorry! Brother Tiger, I didn't mean to do it, wuwu..."

With tears in her eyes, Maginot hurriedly left Tiger's arms and stood aside holding her skirt, looking like a flower with a hint of rain. It was so cute.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Don't cry. If you cry, you'll turn into a little cat." Tiger was amused by her cute appearance and quickly comforted her.

"Huh! You're the little cat, idiot Brother Tiger, hehe." After hearing Tiger's answer, Maginot burst into laughter and retorted with a small mouth.

The two small hands kept touching Tiger's body, trying to confirm whether his injury was really not a big problem.

Feeling Maginot's intimate movements, Tiger was a little at a loss and could only let her hands do whatever he wanted on his body.

Tiger, who has no memory of the previous 13 years, cannot judge the relationship between him and Maginot at this moment.

However, judging from the care and intimacy that Maginot showed towards him, he speculated that the two of them should be very familiar with each other.

"Um...Mackino, listen to me first.

This time I followed my father to the Navy Headquarters, and when I came back, I had a fierce battle with a pirate group.

My head was injured during the battle, which has caused me to forget many things from the past..."

Before he finished speaking, Tiger saw tears starting to fill up in Maginot's eyes again, so he had to stop and comfort the girl in front of him first.

"Ugh, you still say it's okay! Your head is injured like this, and you still say it's okay!

How could this happen? Why can't I remember the past?Didn't Mr. Karp find a doctor to help you treat him? "

"Hey, don't cry, I'm fine.

I just forgot some things from the past, it won’t have any impact, like our lovely Maginot, I remember it very clearly! "

Tiger didn't do anything. He hated to see a girl cry in front of him, so he could only continue to comfort her softly.

"Really? You can't lie to me! Just don't...just be fine."

Maginot, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, blushed and said happily but shyly.

Her voice became softer and softer, and in the end she lowered her head shyly and kneaded the hem of her skirt again.

That shy look made Tiger stunned, and he stood there in a daze.

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Tiger despised himself in his heart. This is a ten-year-old girl, what is she thinking!

"Um...Mackino, can you help me recall what happened when I lived here before?

Also, I forgot where my home is, I don’t know where my father is, and I can’t go home now..."

"Yeah, of course!" Maginot agreed softly, pulled Tiger to a seat aside, and began to help him recall the past.

...

It turns out that he was sent to live in Windmill Village by Garp when he was 5 years old. He and Maginot have been childhood sweethearts since he was a child.

Before he was 8 years old, he would eat at Maginot's Tavern every day.

After all, there is no adult in the family, whether it is the eldest brother or the father, and they only see each other every few months.

So Garp asked Maginot's parents to prepare three meals a day for Tiger. Of course, he would not remember the food expenses.

It was Adjutant Bogart who paid Tiger enough for food every time he arrived with Garp, so as not to make things difficult for Maginot's parents.

But something unexpected happened, and something happened to Maginot's parents when she was 5 years old.

As for the specific reasons for the death of Maginot's parents, she, who was only 5 years old at the time, had no way of knowing.

But one day when she was 5 years old, Garp suddenly came to the tavern and told her with a serious expression that her parents, who had gone out to sea to purchase supplies together in the morning, would never come back again.

From then on, at a young age, she took over the tavern left by her parents and became a tavern proprietress.

With the help of fellow villagers, Garp and others, she has successfully managed the tavern left by her parents until now.

Of course, it would be impossible for such a young child to run the tavern on his own.

Not only do you need employees who can make wine, but you also need people who can take care of tasks such as purchasing and cooking.

The various employees who helped run the tavern were all assigned reliable personnel by Adjutant Bogart.

On the one hand, it can help Maginot run the tavern, and on the other hand, it can also allow these people who are assigned to protect Tiger to have a reasonable identity to hide.

No longer have to spend every day trying to disguise themselves while following and protecting Tiger in order not to attract attention.

On the day he learned that Maginot's parents had passed away, Tiger immediately found Maginot and stayed with her as she cried heartbrokenly.

He didn't know much about words of comfort. He just held her in his arms and whispered to her, "Don't be afraid, I'm still here."

After that, Maginot relied more and more on Tiger, following him every day, as if he would disappear like her parents if she left him.

Upon seeing this, Garp simply arranged for the two of them to live together in the home he prepared for Tiger in Windmill Village, so that they could live together every day.

From then on, every morning, the two went to the tavern to open the business together.

We go home to rest together at night, just like a newlywed couple, inseparable every day.

In the pub, Tiger was responsible for keeping accounts at the cashier counter, and when he had nothing to do, he would sit there and read quietly.

Maginot was responsible for serving food and wine to the guests. Whenever she had time, she would sit next to Tiger, staring at her beautiful eyes, looking at Tiger for a while, and then looking at the book in his hand.

Her beautiful eyes were blinking. I don’t know if she wanted to read a book or look at Tiger?

The two lived like this for five years until Garp arrived last month and said that he would take Tiger to Marineland to make a name for himself so that he could join the Navy and engage in civilian work.

After he had arranged Tiger's affairs, he asked Maginot to go with him, and when they both grew up, he would give Garp some grandchildren.

But he didn't expect that when Tiger came back from a trip, he would be so seriously injured. The bandages all over his body made Makino couldn't help but shed tears the first time he saw him.

The many emotions of fear, worry, and terror made her feel confused.

She was afraid that Tiger would never come back like her parents, and she couldn't live without him!

After Garp left with Tiger, Maginot blushed like a ripe apple, lowering her head and not daring to look at Tiger.

"I said...I'm done, Brother Tiger. Do you remember what happened?"

Makino asked softly.

"Haha, I don't seem to remember anything else. I only remember that my father asked us to get married when we grow up and give him more grandchildren."

Tiger looked at the blushing Makino and couldn't help teasing her.

In fact, every time Maginot talked about something from the past, the corresponding memory kept appearing in his mind.

He didn't know why, but he could only remember what Maginot said, but he still had no impression of other things.

But it doesn't matter, now he knows that it's not that he has no memories of the past, but they are all hidden in this body, and he needs a medium to help him remember them.

When Maginot heard what Tiger said, she blushed even more and kept lowering her head, like an ostrich trying to bury her head in the soil.

"Eh? Don't you want to marry me? I'm so sad..."

"Of course not!"

"Little Ostrich" finally raised his head and said firmly with a red face.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's clean up the pub together and go home."

With a smile in his eyes, Tiger took Maginot's little hand and stood up from his seat.

"Hmm..." Maginot responded with a mosquito-like voice, but the look in his eyes was even brighter.
