Pirates: The ship's deputy is the biggest supporter of the Straw Hat Pirates

slam-la-

The Merry was moving slowly forward, when suddenly dark shadows appeared on both sides of the river, seemingly staring at it.

Luffy, who was sitting on the bow of the ship, looked around, "It looks like something is moving."

Hearing this, Sanji narrowed his eyes and looked towards the shore, "It looks like a human shadow."

call--

"Yeah! Wow! Ouch!"

"Welcome to the Grand Line!"

"Welcome to our town!"

"Welcome to the hospitable town of Whiskey Peak!"

After the Merry left the mist, everyone saw townspeople standing on both sides of the river, waving and shouting at them.

"Look, we are actually welcomed." Usopp said in surprise, pointing at the townspeople who were waving at him.

Luffy, who was sitting at the bow, laughed "Ahahaha", as if he was happy about the warm welcome from the townspeople.

Hearing the townspeople's shouts, Abis first jumped off Yi Chen's thigh and then pulled Yi Chen to the deck to see what was going on.

"Ahaha~ This is the first time I've seen ordinary townspeople welcome pirates so much."

"Do people in the Grand Line all like pirates, Yichen Onii-chan?"

Abis first looked at the townspeople who were waving at the pirates and expressing their warm welcome in confusion, then looked up at Yi Chen and asked.

Hearing this, Yi Chen chuckled first, then touched Abis's little head: "Before I answer you, I want to ask you, do you know what the next sentence of "showing kindness for no reason" is that I told you."

Hearing this, Abis lowered her head, then nodded in sudden realization: "Ah~ I understand, but why do these townspeople do this?"

Abis held her chin in her hand and thought, as if she was thinking about why the other party did this.

"Haha~ You'll know when the time comes." Yi Chen chuckled at Abisi's serious look, and then whispered to Abisi.

"Pirates from all over the world, welcome!"

"Hail, heroes of the sea!"

The townspeople cheered loudly, some waved and greeted Luffy and the others, some blew welcome horns, and some fired salutes.

When Sanji saw the girls waving at him on the shore, his cheeks turned slightly red, and his originally normal eyes turned into big pink hearts.

“There are so many cute girls here~”

Usopp also gradually lost himself in the cheers of the townspeople, "As expected, pirates are everyone's heroes. Mua~"

As he spoke, Usopp waved to the townspeople and blew them a loving kiss. (′e｀ )?

Zoro didn't react to this.

"Welcome... ahem... fa fa fa... welcome."

On the shore, a middle-aged man with a curly hairstyle was greeting Yi Chen and his group who were getting off the Meili.

The middle-aged man with curly hair put his right hand in front of himself and introduced himself: "My name is Ikalem, and I'm the mayor of Whiskey Peak Town."

Hearing this, Luffy, who was standing at the front, also replied politely: "Oh, I'm Luffy, please give me your guidance."

After answering politely, Luffy pointed at Ikalem's curly hair and said with a smile: "Your hair is too curly, uncle."

However, Ikaram ignored Luffy's words and continued with what he was going to say next.

“Whiskey Peak is famous for its brewing and music, and what we are most proud of is the hospitality of guests from far away.”

"We also have the fine wine that we are so proud of. Let's enjoy the welcome party with your stories of adventures so far."

After saying that, Ikalem coughed twice to clear his throat, paused, and asked everyone with a smile:

"I wonder what you guys think?"

"With great pleasure!!!" x3

Hearing this, Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp happily agreed and then walked into the town arm in arm.

When he walked away, he made noises like "Oh! Yeah! Haha!"

Seeing this, Nami put her hands on her hips and complained helplessly: "Three idiots..."

"Yi Chen, are we going then?"

Nami looked at Yi Chen who was standing aside and asked.

Hearing this, Yi Chen turned to look at Nami, "Luffy has gone, so let's go too. With me here, just relax and have fun."

Nami looked at Yi Chen's relaxed expression and lightly lifted her hair: "That's true."

After saying that, Nami followed Luffy and the other two into the town.

Seeing this, Yi Chen and the other two followed.

At night, the moon hangs high in the sky, and the sound of music echoes in the town...

Buzz... Ta-ta-ta... Buzz... Buzz... Buzz...

In the tavern, Usopp was sitting on a green leather sofa, his face tilted 45 degrees to the sky, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"…I said this very coldly after we encountered the Sea Kings."

"Little sea king, don't touch my companions."

Yeah ~

"Mr. Usopp, that's great~" x3

After listening to Usopp's story, the three women shouted out with love in their eyes.

The men who heard the story raised their glasses and shouted, "That's awesome! Cheers to Mr. Usopp!"

bang~

Ikalem pushed a glass of wine in front of Nami and said, "Go ahead, drink as much as you want."

Seeing this, Nami waved her hands: "No, no, no, forget about the wine. I don't drink."

Ahem!

Hearing this, Ikalem coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, this is just a special drink made from premium grapes that tastes like wine but does not contain alcohol."

After saying that, Ikalem put his hands behind his back and looked at Nami who was sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face.

"Grape drink?" Upon hearing this, Yi Chen, who was sitting next to Nami, picked up a glass of wine and started drinking it in big gulps.

As soon as Yi Chen took a sip, he felt a sour and sweet taste, which then turned into a slightly astringent taste.

When Abis heard that it was a grape drink, she picked up a glass and started drinking it like Yi Chen.

Compared to Yi Chen and Abis, Zoro and Nami were sipping wine.

Just after Nami praised the grapes for being delicious, Ikalem opened his hands and said, "Come on, let's have a toasting competition to celebrate the grape harvest."

"The rules of the game are to keep toasting until the other contestants are drunk. Everyone, come and join in." After saying that, Ikaram looked at the four people sitting on the sofa.

Hearing this, Nami raised her hands in front of her and politely refused: "Forget it, I can't drink so much wine."

"Forget about it for me and Abis, because we have to eat something else later. We can't just drink without eating." After saying that, Yi Chen and Abis went to Luffy's table.

But Zoro just drank the wine in his hand quietly and did not answer.

Just after Yichen and Abisi left, Ikaram took out a bag of Baileys from his pocket and said, "The prize for the champion of the competition is 100,000 Baileys."

Hearing this, Nami stood up excitedly and said to Ikalem seriously: "Actually... I can give it a try."
