Chapter 820 The Beginning of the Plot

Time goes by so fast!

After the departure of the two countries, several months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the time has come to the year 1510 of the Haiyuan Calendar!

East China Sea!

Goa Kingdom Windmill Village Port

"Are you going?" Luffy stood on the port and asked Shanks with a smile.

If someone looked closely at this time, they could feel that Luffy's face was full of reluctance!

"Yeah, I've been here for too long, it's always going to be parting!" Shanks responded with a smile while standing at the port with his back to Luffy, looking at the sea in the distance.

After speaking, he changed his voice and asked again, "By the way, are you lonely?"

After listening to this sentence, Luffy's eyes flashed a trace of sadness, he took a deep breath, showed a bright smile, and said, "Although it will be lonely, but I will not ask you to take me away again, because I Decided to be a pirate!"

Hearing this, Shanks suddenly turned his head, showed a funny smile, and said mischievously, "I won't take you away anyway! And like you, can you become a pirate?"

"I will!" Luffy's mouth flattened, and he shouted stubbornly, "One day I will find a partner who will not lose to your group, and find the world's number one treasure, and I will definitely be the winner. Pirate King!"

"Are you going to surpass us?" Shanks looked at Luffy's stubborn face, as if something touched his heart, smiled, and took off the straw hat on his head that Roger had given him. , pressed it on Luffy's head, and said, "Then this hat will be handed over to you for safekeeping! It is my most important hat, so take good care of it!"

"Woo~"

Feeling the straw hat on the top of his head and the warm hand on the straw hat, Luffy could no longer hold back the feelings in his heart, choked up, and his tears flowed "crashing"!

Looking at this scene, Shanks didn't say anything. After rubbing Luffy's head, he resolutely turned around and boarded his ship.

Soon!

As the ship set off, Shanks stood on the edge of the deck, smiling and looking at Luffy who was biting his lip and weeping in the harbor, thinking to himself, "You must give it back to me in the future, when you become an excellent one. Pirates, we made an appointment, Luffy!"

Just as Shanks was thinking about it, a small merchant ship that looked ordinary just entered the port at this time!

And just when the merchant ship and the ship of the Red-haired Pirates passed by, the red-haired who was immersed in the sadness of parting seemed to notice something, and turned his head to look at the merchant ship!

Coincidentally, a tall, strong and handsome blond man on the merchant ship seemed to sense something at this moment, and turned his head to look at Shanks!

Eye to eye!

The blond man was stunned for a moment, and then gave Shanks a bright smile!

And Shanks looked at this smile, but subconsciously frowned!

Who is he?

So familiar!

Shanks was lost in thought.

"What's wrong?"

After a while, before Shanks could come up with a result, Ben Beckman, who was beside him, saw him pondering and thought he had something on his mind, but he quickly asked with concern.

Hearing this voice, Shanks immediately broke free from his contemplation.

"No!"

He slowly shook his head and said hesitantly, "The merchant ship that just passed by, that person is a bit familiar, and he seems to have seen it before. Uh, maybe I think too much!"

"Really." Ben Beckman frowned and looked back at the merchant ship that had just sailed, but he was also lost in thought!

Shanks think too much?

Ben Beckman can't believe it!

After getting along for so long, he knows Shanks very well!

Although he is usually a little nervous, funny, and likes to joke, but in terms of intuition, it is still very effective, so he said that the person just now was a little familiar, it must be a person he is familiar with!

And right now.

A flash of light flashed in Shanks' mind, he patted his head, and suddenly said, "I remember! He is the king of St. Martin, a wanted criminal of the World Government, with a reward of 10 billion Pendragon Arthur!"

——

the other side!

After missing with Shanks, Arthur took a deep look at their ship and sighed, "It's still a step late, I didn't see the Bandit King, and I didn't see the famous scene of One Piece!"

After the Chinese New Year, Arthur is ready to come to Windmill Village!

Well, mainly to see the famous scene of Bandit King and Shanks' broken arm!

After all, when I came to the world of pirates, it would be a pity not to see this scene!

It's a pity that because of the numerous government affairs, he rushed in a hurry, but he was still a step late, and he only saw the scene of Shanks and others leaving just now!

"Forget it, it's all here. Since you haven't seen the famous scene, then look at Luffy, Ace, and Sabo!" Arthur thought for a while and made up his mind!

Although I didn't see the famous scene, it's good to see the future protagonist!

Thinking about it, Arthur got off the ship immediately after the merchant ship docked!

"This guest, what are you doing in our village?"

Arthur had just disembarked, and the mayor of Windmill Village, who had come to send Shanks and his party away, Wupu Slapp stepped forward and asked with a hint of vigilance.

No wonder Slap is so careful!

Although the East China Sea is the safest sea area among the four seas, the safest does not mean that there is no threat, and there are often incidents of pirates attacking the village.

Therefore, even if the Windmill Village belongs to a relatively poor town, even if the Windmill Village is located in a remote place, even if Garp often comes back, Slap still has a little bit of defense in his heart when he encounters outsiders!

After all, everything is just in case!

"Oh, we are a passing merchant ship. We met the King of the Sea on the way. We lost a lot of supplies in order to escape, so I want to rest in your village for a few days and replenish the supplies!" Arthur smiled and made a random excuse!

"Um!"

After listening to this answer, Slap looked at the merchant ship up and down again, then nodded and agreed, "If that's the case, then you are welcome to come! I'm the village head here, Up Slap, if there is anything wrong. If so, you can ask me!"

What Arthur said is a common occurrence at sea!

Generally speaking, when an ordinary merchant ship encounters a monster like the King of the Offshore Sea, it will either drop the cargo, lighten the load on the ship, and then flee quickly, or attack it with artillery, hurt it, and let it escape. Or just kill it!

Arthur, the merchant ship Slap, looked up and down and found that it was an ordinary merchant ship with no artillery, so it was normal to leave supplies and lighten the ship's load, thereby escaping!

"Hello village chief!" Arthur smiled and stretched out his hand and shook hands with Slapp, before asking, "By the way, village chief, do you have any hotels or the like here that can let me stay?"

"Hotel," Slapp said thoughtfully, "Our Windmill Village is just a small village. Usually, no one comes here, and there is no hotel! If guests want a hotel, they can only drive a boat around and go to us. There is a hotel on the side of the main city of the Goa Kingdom!"

Although the Windmill Village belongs to the Goya Kingdom, because the Goya Kingdom likes to isolate the poor and the bad in the kingdom, it has almost no connection with the Goya Kingdom, not to mention the repaired roads!

That's why Slap asked Arthur to sail around the main city of Goa Kingdom!

"That's it! Forget it! I'll stay on the boat!" Arthur said thoughtfully.

As for the main city of the Goya Kingdom, Arthur is too lazy to go!

In addition to being too lazy to continue walking, it was also because the society in the main city of Goya Kingdom was too deformed, which made him a little unhappy!

In order to become the so-called most beautiful country in the East China Sea, all those bad places that originally belonged to the kingdom were isolated from the society of the Goa Kingdom. What is the difference between this and stealing the bell?

And it is such a deformed society Arthur is naturally in no mood to see it, unless it is taken down one day, so he chooses to stay!

"Guest, if you don't mind. My bar has a spare room for you!" At this time, Makino, who also came to bid farewell to Shanks, said softly.

Listening to her words, Arthur was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Okay!"

Saying that, Arthur seemed to remember something and added, "Of course, I will pay!"

"OK!"

Makino didn't say anything to reject this, but with a slight smile, she simply nodded in agreement.

Soon, Arthur and Makino entered the village with several intelligence officers who followed him on the merchant ship to watch the merchant ship!
