LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 31: oh, the girl with the ugly voice yesterday
When the sun was just peeking over the horizon with a breeze of cool air to accompany it. Elsewhere, in front of the Partys' bar, a new group appeared. Their appearance does not resemble regular villagers because some of them are seen carrying swords and rifles on their backs or waists.
When this peculiar-looking group saw the sign at the entrance of the bar that said closed, they seemed disappointed, and some of them even started voicing their disappointment out loud by saying:
"What should we do? I really want sake. Why isn't this bar open yet?"
"Yeah, I heard this bar is the only one in the village that serves sake."
A fat man who was eating a piece of meat in his hands complained even louder as he shouted, "shut up, you guys, your suffering can't be compared to mine. Do you know how torturous it is to eat meat without sake!"
Meanwhile, suddenly in the middle of them, a red-haired man who was the leader of this group started saying, "hahahaha... don't be in such a hurry everyone, let's wait inside until the owner of the bar comes."
All group members seemed to agree, and without further ado, led by the red-haired man, they all started walking into the bar and inside, they started lowering the chairs on the tables that were still not set.
"Captain, can we have a look at the storage room at the back? In case we can find some sake?" asked one of the members of the group, but to everyone's surprise, the man with the red hair who had been casually smiling and appearing at ease just moments before suddenly furrowed his brows and said in a stern tone:
"No! We came here as customers, not robbers, got it!"
As soon as he heard that, the person who had asked earlier immediately nodded his head with an awkward smile and returned to his seat. Later, while they were waiting for the owner of this bar to arrive, some of them began spending their time laughing, chatting, playing cards, and singing.

Meanwhile, a group member was still standing outside, and unexpectedly this person was a young girl of approximately 8 years old. Her chic and fashionable appearance was very different from the rest of the group earlier.
"ahh, you a bunch of stupid pirates. Can't they do anything other than drink alcohol, party, and do other boring things?" said this little girl with her mouth pursed.
She started to look around her, which was filled with a vast expanse of green meadows with a very calm and desolate atmosphere different from what she had experienced so far. Her red and white hair could occasionally be seen blowing in the wind, revealing her bright purple eyes, which disappointedly stared at the entrance to the Partys bar.
*sigh
"What exactly does Shanks want to do in this place? Even when the other crew and I asked him, he only said he wanted to go to a remote place away from the Marines to rest in peace for a while."
"what a load of bullshit. Does he think we'll just believe it? But even so, seeing the other crew members who don't mind, I think I'm the only one who's still curious about his true intentions."
Even though this little girl is only eight years old, what she said before makes her not like children her age. Specifically, the name that comes out of her mouth will shock anyone who hears it and wonders what this little girl has to do with the red-haired pirate.
When this little girl was still standing there, the morning breeze that brought coolness and calmness began to blow strongly towards her, and as a result, her hair, which had been tied into two long ponytails with one circular braid at the end, was blown gently. As she was trying to tidy it up, she heard footsteps coming from beside her, and soon after, a voice that sounded somewhat familiar could be heard saying:
"oh, the girl with the ugly voice yesterday, what are you doing in this place?"
The little girl's mood suddenly turned sour, her forehead had also twitched a few times after hearing that comment, but she tried to calm herself down as she started to look to the side.
This little girl was thinking to herself, 'this damn boy again, is he following me?'
Upon noticing that his talking partner remained silent, Luffy once more addressed her lightheartedly and said, "if you have nothing to do here, just leave. You're blocking the way."
Finally, the young girl could not take it any longer, and with her cheeks puffed out, she retorted in annoyance, "shut up! It is entirely up to me to decide where I wish to be!"
"I can see that you're getting angry all over again. Why didn't you pay attention to what I had to say the other day?"
"Shut up! Shut up! Are you here because you followed me! You freak who follows people around! And ugly country boy!"
This caused the smile that was on Luffy's face to start twitching a few times. The little girl in front of Luffy began to curse at him a few times without hesitation, and she even slandered him with things he didn't do, but just as he was about to reply back, suddenly Makino came.
Makino looked out of breath with sweat pouring from her forehead, and all of this was caused by Luffy suddenly accelerating his footsteps, leaving Makino behind.
"Who... is this young girl, Luffy?" Makino was confused when she saw a girl who she didn't know standing in front of her bar at such an early hour. Makino was also sure this young girl did not originate from this area.
"Oh, this high-pitched young girl is the same girl I talked to the other day. I told you about that, right?"
As soon as this little girl heard Luffy mocking her voice again, she started to get more irritated, and the combination of all those feelings caused her eyes to fill with tears, and she soon started crying out loud.
"waaah... *sob... you!... I'll tell Shanks... *sob... if you've bullied me... you mean, country boy!..."
