[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

That night, the "Kate & Kevin" Hotel——

"Happy birthday, Kevin." Just as Kevin walked down the stairs, Kate pulled down the ribbon ball that had been prepared. After a snap, the ribbon and stardust floated down from the air and fell on Kevin.

In order to celebrate Kevin's birthday, Kate deliberately closed the business tonight, and hung a lot of ribbons and balloons on the first floor of the bar. The restaurant, which was originally a little deserted, suddenly became more lively and lively.And Kevin, as if to match the atmosphere, stood obediently where he was, letting those colorful flocs fall all over him.

Sha Lai, who came out of the kitchen with the fruits of half an afternoon's labor, saw such a warm scene, as if the quarrel she heard in the afternoon never existed.Since they don't want to let themselves know, Xilai is also willing to be a bystander. After placing the plate on the middle table covered with a white tablecloth, Xilai smiled and said to Kevin: "Happy birthday, Kai Wen. This is curry rice, try it."

"Thank you, Shalai, I'll try it now." Kevin struggled with the ribbons on his body for two seconds before giving up, and with such decorations, he walked to the chair with a paper crown on the top of the back of the chair On the table, while pulling away the chair, he complained: "Miss Kate, I am already an adult, so please stop insisting on this way of celebrating children's birthdays, okay?"

"Okay, I promise, you will never see this kind of childish birthday party again."

Kevin, who got a rare compromise from his sister, paused for a moment with the hand pulling the chair, then sat down as if nothing had happened, focused his eyes on the food in front of him, and said, "It smells like a lot of spices, this is Do you want food from your hometown?"

"That's not true, but curry is indeed very popular in my hometown." Salai sat down while answering Kevin's words.

Although she was most afraid of family disputes after hearing Kate's smug words just now, she would rather go wandering in the illegal area for a night than stay to participate in this birthday party.But thinking of Kate, Kevin and the others taking care of themselves these days, they still gritted their teeth and stayed.

As Oda Saku's favorite food, curry is naturally Sarai's specialty.But what she is cooking for Kate and Kevin now is a modified slightly spicy version.Sarai can be sure that if they make the original version that no one but Odasaku can stand, they will definitely not praise themselves while eating it like they are now.

At the end of the dinner, which at least maintained its superficial warmth, Kate took out the cake from the kitchen, and just as she was about to put in the candles, Kevin reached out and stopped her.

"Sister Kate, I don't need to think about that god who doesn't know where to make a wish. I will join the navy tomorrow, and I will fulfill my wish by myself."

Seeing Kevin's firm eyes as in the afternoon, Kate tightened her hand holding the candle, and frowned, trying to refute, but her words were interrupted by a voice from the door.

"Hahaha, in the tavern that serves pirates, is there someone who wants to become a navy? I heard that there is a beautiful woman here who is very good at bartending. If she deliberately throws her hands away to see and see, she won't be arrested." The unruly sound came at the same time as the sound of the door shattering, and the wooden bolt Kate used to lock the door fell to the ground after being hit by this impact, and after a few bounces, it stopped in front of the table where Shalai and the others were sitting.

With the creak of leather boots on the wooden boards, the person who interrupted their birthday party walked to the hotel lights.The person who came was a handsome black-haired man. The black knight outfit and the arrogant expression on his face made him look a bit ruffian. He was the type of boy who was very popular with little girls.However, after seeing the face of the person coming and the long black scabbard around his waist, Sha Lai calmly adjusted her state of alert to the highest level.Because this young man is the captain of the pirate group, "Ghost Swordsman" Carter, whom Salai is trying to avoid by all means.

Although judging from what Carter just said, he came alone on this trip, and she is not in danger of being exposed for the time being, but Sha Lai feels that with such a subordinate, the captain may not be an easy person to get along with.The birthday party tonight seems to have to end early.It's a pity that Kate made the cake all night and it hasn't moved yet.

Being slammed on the door at night is definitely not a pleasant experience.But Kate has been able to live alone with her younger brother on the Chambord Islands for so long, so she naturally has a way of doing things.Seeing that the door of her beloved hotel was smashed in front of her eyes, she stood up without blinking her eyes, and said with a bright smile, "Sorry, guest, today we—"

"It's a waste to put so much fine wine on the table instead of playing with cakes that children would eat." It's a pity that Carter didn't like this. He went directly to the bar and sat down, admiring the wine cabinet. He said directly with an orderly taste: "Hey, lady boss. I came all the way here, and you always want to serve me a glass of wine."

"I was the one to be rude. What do you want to drink, guest?" Kate was not annoyed after being interrupted, she still kept a smile, walked to the bar, and began to wash her hands to prepare, without any trace of discomfort.

"I haven't studied these colorful things, so you can use what you are best at." Carter seemed to have seen this kind of people's obedience too much, the interest on his face faded, and he dealt with it casually.

"Okay, then I'll make a Mojito for you. This is a rum-based cocktail. I hope you like it." After cleaning her hands, Kate took out a glass with a narrow bottom and a wide top. Put the mint leaves and cube sugar into the wine glass, gently crush with a pestle and squeeze in the lemon juice, then pour two ounces of rum into the wine glass, and stir slightly with a long spoon.At this point, the whole action is so smooth that it is enjoyable even to watch from the sidelines.Unfortunately, some people seem to have a different opinion.

When Kate began to add crushed ice to the glass, Carter said, "No, what kind of Jito is it that only the two small glasses you just added are wine? Ma'am, you should take this drink over there Little brother, just give me a bottle of black rum."

Carter's tone was laziness, his eyes stayed on the wine cabinet, and he didn't even have a spare eye for Kate who was concentrating on mixing drinks for him.

This is the first time I have seen such a bad attitude of a guest, but judging from Kevin clenched his fists but did nothing, and Kate smiled and agreed to change Carter's drink, this is not the first time Happened once.Also, although the Chambord Islands are very close to the navy headquarters, the navy has a way to control all the pirates, and basically turns a blind eye to them if there are no fatalities or any bad incidents.

With Kate's good cooperation, Carter finished his drink slowly, threw some money on the bar, flirted with Kate a little, and left.

As his footsteps faded away, in this small hotel that had lost its door, there was only the whistling of the night wind and the clatter of Kate cleaning the wine glass.

"I'll go to the warehouse to get a spare door." Kevin, who had bowed his head and said nothing since Carter came in, stood up abruptly, left in a hurry after leaving a word.Due to the angle problem, Shalai couldn't see his expression clearly, but judging from his tight body lines, it must not be a happy expression.

After the sound of Kevin's footsteps also disappeared, Kate also cleaned up the bar, walked to the table with three cups with floating ice cubes and green leaves, put one of them in front of Shalai, and said with a smile: "Try the Mojito I made, I didn't add rum to your cup."

"Thank you, Kate, then I'll be more polite." Sha Lai picked up the cup with a smile, admired it in front of the light, and just put the cup to her mouth, she stopped because of the sound of arguing outside the door.Because there was Kevin's voice in it.Putting down the cup with a little regret, Sha Lai and Kate looked at each other, then both got up and walked out the door.

The source of the sound is not far away, you can see it around the corner of the hotel.But Sha Lai disappeared back into the shadow of the hotel instantly after seeing the members of the party who were confronting Kevin.Because the person who came was Randy, who had just formed a relationship with Sha Lai in the morning. He and a few of his subordinates seemed to have just come out of some tavern. Their footsteps were a little buoyant, obviously drunk.Drunk people tend to be more unreasonable, and Sha Lai doesn't want to appear in front of them as a target at all.

Kate didn't say anything when she found out that she was going back, she walked slowly to Kevin, stopped him with her eyes, and said to the group with a smile: "Sorry, my brother is still young and ignorant, I will give it to him on his behalf." Everyone apologizes. As an apology, our hotel will provide you with unlimited drinks tonight, so please enjoy it.”

"As expected of the proprietress, she is really sensible. But your younger brother just uttered wild words to us, and wanted to send us away with a drink?"

"That's right, at least you have to stay with us for one night."

These drunk pirates were obviously more reckless, and regardless of the possibility of naval patrols, they directly started to move outside.

Kevin's angry roar and the sound of being knocked to the ground came back and forth, and Xilai's eyes darkened.She took the gun out from under her skirt, loaded it, and used the hotel as a cover to shoot quickly, disabling the four hands that were holding Kate.

"Who?" The moment he heard the gunshot, Randy quickly judged the source of the sound, took out the machine gun on his back with his right hand and fired a few shots there.But Sha Lai had already withdrawn before that, and shot Randy's two men at the knees at the same time, causing them to fall to the ground and howl.

After dealing with the minions, Sha Lai changed the magazine and confronted Randy with guns in both hands.At this time, Randy was also drunk, staring sharply at Shalai standing in front of him, and smiled after seeing her face clearly by the moonlight, "Hey, I thought it was someone, I didn't expect it to be this morning That girl who ruined my good deeds. After finally getting her life back, don’t you cherish it, and send it to your door to seek death?”

"If you didn't come out at night to disturb people's interest, I don't want to see your face again." Sara said as usual, and moved towards Kate Kevin calmly.

Kate is really courageous. After she just shot and disposed of the two bastards holding Kate, Kate was not scared by the bullets like ordinary people, and immediately pulled Kevin back, away from the A few pirates fell to the ground and kept cursing.

But Randy saw through Sha Lai's intentions at a glance. Taking advantage of his distance and physical strength, he walked up to the siblings one step ahead of her, took out the other side of the machine gun with his left hand, and blocked the bullets shot at him by Sha Lai, and at the same time The gun in his right hand hit Kate's head, who was standing in front of Kevin.
