Haiyuan Calendar 1509.

Donghai, Windmill Village.

Shanks and his red-haired pirate group came to this village half a month ago, and it caused a lot of panic on the shore. Even though Shanks repeatedly told the local residents and village chief that he had no malice, and just rested here and stopped here for a while to replenish some supplies, the local residents still looked vigilant when they saw them. It was not until after half a month that they found that they did not do evil, and even reversed the pirate's vicious normality, and were easy to speak, they lowered their vigilance. However, many villagers, including the village chief Upp Slap, still retained a trace of distrust in their hearts.

The tavern in the village was full of laughter and joy. The pirates of the Red-Haired Pirates were either fighting for wine or scrambling for food. The captain, Shanks, sat at the bar, smiling and watching the crew fight.

This man who had lived and fought on the "One Piece" ship had no such momentum that a famous pirate captain should have. He wore a somewhat worn straw hat on his head, with some red hair exposed under the brim of the hat covered with oil. His white shirt was yellowed, and his trousers were casually pulled up by him, revealing his calves covered with leg hair.

Cooperating with the pair of mud-filled sandals under his feet, he said that he was not a captain of the Pirates, but a farmer, and many people must have believed it.

This outfit made the three scars on his left eye not show any evil spirit.

Shanks smiled from time to time as he watched the crew fight. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed, his mouth widened, and his enviable teeth appeared very immature, but it also made people feel good about him unconsciously and felt that he was sincere and cheerful.

A crew member of the Red-haired Pirates accidentally hit the plate and broke it on the ground while scrambling it with his companions, making a crisp sound.

Makino, the busy bar owner behind the bar, heard the sound, and looked over. Shanks, who was leaning against the bar, quickly looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, we will compensate."

The bar owner Maginot is just a young woman with a weak figure, but Shanks' expression and movements when he apologized were not at all distorted, and he looked sincere, which made Maginot feel good for this group of pirates.

"It's just a plate. I've been using it for a long time anyway, so I don't have to pay for it." Maginot said softly.

"That won't work," Shanks shook his head, deliberately looking at a little boy who was only five or six years old sitting next to the bar, teasing, "I'm a pirate. I'm not a Bailey I should pay, and I don't know how to pay for it, like some people, I only know how to pay on credit."

"Luffy," Shanks saw that the little boy didn't respond and leaned over: "I was talking about you just now! Why can't you even hear this?"

When Luffy heard this, he realized and glared at him, but even if his tender little face tried hard to make a fierce expression, it would not make people feel scared, but would only feel funny.

"You are so different from other pirates," Maginot said with a smile as Shanks teasing Luffy, "I've never seen a pirate captain like you."

"Does the pirate captain have a fixed image?" Shanks held the straw hat, "What the pirate pursues is freedom. It's so tiring to live like others think!"

"I just want to say that you are not as vicious as other pirates, and even kind as they are," said Maginot, "It should be considered a maverick among pirates, just like the Morgan Pirates in the East China Sea."

"Hmph!" Not far from the bar, the village chief Upp, who had been pricking up his ears and listening to the conversation here, snorting coldly, and knocking the crutch in his hand hard on the floor.

"Morgan Pirates?" Shanks' attention shifted from teasing Luffy when he heard the news from his fellow travelers and asked with interest, "Can you tell me, how are they maverick?"

Luffy also came over curiously.

Maginot pointed his chin playfully and recalled hard: "When I was purchasing goods for the tavern, I heard from other people on the boat that it is said that near the Navia Kingdom, a Morgan pirate group recently appeared. It never hurts civilians, and even rescues the affected villages and towns. They only attack other pirates who have committed crimes..."

At the end of the story, Margino thought that although Shanks and the others were not considered evil, they were also "other pirates". When they found out that it was inappropriate, they kept silent in time.

But Shanks did not show any thoughts at all, but said excitedly: "I heard what you said, this pirate group is really amazing. I don't know what kind of person their captain will be. I really want to see him and invite him onto my ship as soon as I see him."

Luffy, who was standing by, remembered Shanks had just teased him, and sang a childish counter-tune: "What's this? Pirates who are taking all kinds of adventures are the most amazing!"

Maginot tapped Luffy on the head: "How can you compare to the battle to protect the weak?"

The village chief Upp Slap couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and said, "All this may be stories made up by irresponsible liars! How could there be pirates in this world who take the initiative to help civilians? They are not navy! Don't say these things in front of Luffy. What should he do if he believes these lies?"

...

Red Leaf Village was mentioned by Shanks, who was far away in the Windmill Village, and William, who wanted to invite him to board the boat, was in the banquet, crossing his legs, looking at a World Economic News.

At the banquet, in addition to Sherlock, the head of Sihai Business Company, who has been hosting locally for many years and Edmund, who is responsible for protecting him, there are also a group of cadres from the Morgan Pirates, including Harden, Clow, Selkirk, Jesus, Diego, and Alamis.

The headlines of this issue of the World Economic News are published in the captain of the Hydra Pirates, Boya Hancock, nicknamed "Empress", who was invited by the world government to become a member of the "Seven Warriors of the King".

Edmund put his head next to William and leaned against William's shoulder to look at the Hancock photo published in the newspaper. He commented in a very macho way, "Is there no one in the great way? He actually let such a delicate woman serve as the "Seven Warriors Sea."

Sherlock opposite William was holding a exactly the same newspaper in his hand. He shook the newspaper and pointed to the text Edmund had not read under the photo and said, "This 'delicious woman' offers a reward of up to 80 million Baileys, more than four times that of Barbarossa. He is not an ordinary person."

"This means that there is no one on the great route. Such a woman can offer a reward of 80 million," Edmund said stubbornly: "I see that the top leaders of the world government are blind, otherwise William should be invited to serve as the Seven Warlords."
