"How despicable!"

"You actually launched a sneak attack!"

……

"Despicable?" Ben Beckman said nonchalantly, "Don't say such naive words. The person standing in front of you is a pirate."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, so stop meddling in other people's business!" a bandit couldn't help but shout angrily.

"No matter what the reason, trying to hurt my friends is not something that can be forgiven!" Shanks held the long sword at his waist with his right hand, took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

Ben Beckman, however, took the lead and walked to the front. He looked at Sig and the others and said to Shanks, "Leave this matter to me."

He casually drew the spear from his waist without any intention of firing. As his figure swayed, the heavy butt of the spear hit the bandit. In just a moment, all the bandits except Xige fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

Fear filled his heart and the long sword fell from his hand. Sig grabbed Luffy and held him in front of him. He waved his left hand in front of him and with a "bang" smoke spread out. When the smoke dissipated, Sig and Luffy had long disappeared.

"It's over, I was careless!" Shanks shouted exaggeratedly.

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, but almost at the same time they chased in the same direction.

Lily heard the gunshots coming from afar and hurried to the coast. In this small windmill village, she reached the shore in just a few moments.

About 30 meters away in the sea, Luffy was struggling in the water, shouting for help intermittently, and Shanks swam towards him like a sharp sword.

Sig stood on the boat and laughed with his head tilted back, totally unaware of the huge shadow emerging from the sea behind him.

A huge monster that was more than ten meters long broke out of the sea and swallowed up Sig and his boat in one gulp. The waves it created pushed Luffy into the sea, and after choking on several mouthfuls of sea water, he was pulled up by Shanks.

Lily raised her right hand, and a nearly two-meter-long ice spear condensed in her hand, with terrifying cold air surrounding it.

The girl suddenly stepped forward, her back and waist acting as a bow, her arms acting as strength, and the spear flew out of her hand, hitting the sea like a meteor.

The moment the sea beast jumped out of the sea, it pierced its head. The cold air condensed on the spear exploded instantly, and a huge ice flower bloomed on the sea surface. The spear pierced the entire body of the sea beast, leaving a long, blood-colored, white, irregular icicle in the sea, like a flower branch.

Shanks and Luffy, who was originally screaming in fear, looked in shock at the white flowers that suddenly burst out not far away. The biting cold made the two wet people sneeze.

A chill rushed to her cheeks. Lily let herself turn pale and bloodless. She knelt on the ground pretending to be weak and gasped for breath. She looked as if she was extremely exhausted.

She didn't want her excessive abnormality to bring herself unnecessary trouble, so appropriate concealment was the best option.

"Lily! You are so awesome..." After Luffy got ashore, he ran towards Lily excitedly, but saw that she looked weak, and all his excitement was gone in an instant.

"Lily, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Lily, don't die!"

Seeing him talking in a loud voice with a worried and concerned look, Lily couldn't help but feel relieved and said with a smile: "It's okay, just a little exhausted, I'll be fine after a rest. And he won't die."

Luffy helped Lily up and waved to Shanks and the others, "Shanks, I'm taking Lily back to rest. I won't play with you today. Thank you, Shanks!"

Shanks also smiled and waved.

Lily lowered her head, thinking over and over what had just happened. Her shot was more about protecting Shanks than Luffy who was protected by Avalon.

That guy had no intention of using the Armament Haki at all. You have to know that the guys in this world are different from her who has a body of steel. Unless they use other abilities, their physical defense will not be so abnormal that it is unsolvable.

If he hadn't attacked himself, one of his arms would have been bitten off.

Looking at the two siblings leaving, Ben Beckman lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something.

Shanks looked out at the huge ice flower floating on the sea and said, "Are the little guys nowadays so powerful?!"

Jesus Bu also sighed, "This is not the strength a seven-year-old girl should have."

"Have you forgotten the woman who eats more than me?" Laqi Lu couldn't help laughing.

"Yeah, there are always some unreasonable freaks appearing in this sea. I'm a little curious about what her devil fruit is. It feels a bit like that guy's ability." Ben Beckman did not express his guess, but followed what everyone else said.

Several days passed after that. During this time, except for Shanks who went hunting alone in Mount Gorpo on some days and gave some meat to the villagers when he came back, most of the time they were buying supplies and drinking.

Because Windmill Village itself is not large in size, the speed of purchasing supplies is not fast. In total, Shanks has stayed here for more than half a month.

No one knew how a quirky guy like Shanks hooked up with Sister Makilo. Lily was very upset to see their relationship quickly heating up but then destined to part.

Because of the influence of her previous life's ideas, Lily does not like Shanks' love philosophy of choosing to be with someone even though he knows he does not have the ability to stay and protect them.

Sister Ma Qiluo didn't care at all. This was absolutely a scumbag behavior in Lily's eyes. This phenomenon seemed very normal in this world.

Most people live a precarious life, and no one knows when an accident will happen in the future, even a strong man like Shanks is no exception.

If people can live a peaceful life, most of them will still choose to live a stable life, while men and women who yearn for the sea will rush to the sea regardless of their own safety.

As for those slaves who were either oppressed by Heavenly Gold, or had a hard time surviving in the chaos of the kingdom, or who had defected... they had no choice.

Rationally speaking, it would be much safer for Makilo to stay in Windmill Village than to stay with Shanks, not to mention that Makilo himself had no plans to go out to sea.

Lily only mentioned a few words about this and didn't say anything else. Although she didn't like it, she couldn't deny that this was the best fit for the two of them.

Because the Red Hair Pirates usually behaved in a well-behaved manner and were generous with their spending, many people came to see them off on the day of their departure.

"Are you leaving?" Although Luffy was still smiling, Lily could see that he was not actually happy.

"Well, although we have stayed here for a long time, it is finally time to say goodbye." Shanks looked at the Red Force and said seriously, "Luffy will be lonely without us, right?"

"No, Lily will stay with me." Luffy said with a stubborn smile, "But one day, I will become a pirate myself, and then we will meet in the sea."

"Hahahaha..." Shanks laughed and said in a teasing tone, "Luffy, can you really become a pirate if you are like this?"

Seeing his tongue-out spoof expression, Luffy couldn't help but yelled angrily, "Yes, I will find a partner who is not inferior to you in the future, find the treasure of the world, and become the Pirate King for you to see."

"Surpass us?" Shanks took off his straw hat and put it on Luffy's head, saying, "Then I'll give this straw hat to you for safekeeping. It's the most important thing to me, so please take good care of it. I'm waiting for the day when you surpass me and return it to me in person."

After saying that, Shanks turned to look at Lily, who always looked weak and frail, and said with a smile: "Lily, how about it? Do you want to travel with Uncle Red Hair?"

Luffy, who was about to cry, quickly stood in front of Lily and shouted, "Lily, I won't go with you!"

"Hahaha……"

There was a burst of laughter on the big red-masted ship.

Luffy stood there for a long time, looking at the huge ship going away, until it disappeared at the end of the sea.

"Lily, do you think I can still see Shanks and the others?"

"Will do!"

At the stern of the Red Force, Shanks leaned against the railing, looking towards the port, and said to Ben Beckman beside him: "You are indeed Garp's grandchildren!"

"Yeah, they are two amazing little guys!"
