Chapter 026
Chapter 26 Cocoyasi Village
“The life I want……”Luffy thought for a moment and then replied:”Of course I want to be a pirate! Then find a few partners, conquer the Grand Line, and become the freest man in the world, the Pirate King!””
“One Piece? Ron laughed, and then asked:”Then do you know what a pirate is?””
“What is a pirate?”Luffy said curiously.
“If you want to be a pirate, you have to eat big chunks of meat and drink big gulps.”As he said that, Ron looked at Luffy up and down, groped his chin for a while, and said,”Eating meat in large chunks? You have inherited your grandfather’s talent in this regard, but how about drinking a lot of wine?……”
Ron shook his head and said:”You are still too far behind.””
“ah? When you become a pirate, do you still need to know how to drink?”Luffy’s little face suddenly felt a little confused.
This was the first time he heard such words, and he didn’t believe it in his heart.
But then he thought about it. When Shanks and the others were in Windmill Village, they drank all day long. Have a party, even Ace and Sabo���When I first became sworn friends with him, I was very happy drinking.
Thinking of this, Luffy became a little more convinced.
Seeing the hesitation on Luffy’s face, Ron straightened his expression and said,”Since you talk about becoming the Pirate King every day, you know Roger, right?”
“Roger?”When he heard this name, Luffy’s eyes lit up and he nodded immediately:”I must know, Pirate King Gol·D·Roger, Ace’s dad, my goal is to be a man like him”
When talking about Roger, Luffy’s face was filled with admiration
“Did you know that Roger’s drinking capacity is second to none in the sea? He always drinks from a wine bowl as big as this.”
As he spoke, Ron gestured with his hands to create a large bowl with a diameter of one and a half meters.
Luffy’s eyes widened when he saw Ron’s gestures.
“So big?!”
“Yes, he is that big. His drinking capacity is even surpassed by your great-grandfather, me and your grandfather Garp.”
“Oh yes, and red-haired Shanks”
“Shanks?”Hearing this name, Luffy cheered up again.
“You’ve met Shanks, he’s not bad at drinking, right?”
“Uh-huh.”Luffy couldn’t agree more with this.
“Do you know that when I first met Shanks, he was still a trainee crew member on Roger’s ship? Well, at that time, he was almost the same age as when you first met Shanks.
At that time, his drinking capacity was already very high.
I heard that he was so good at drinking because Roger taught him how to drink.”
“Really…really?”Hearing what Ron said, Luffy was finally shaken in his heart again.
But soon, a sad look appeared on his little face again,”But I don’t know how to drink. What should I do?……”
Except for that time with Ace Sabo, Luffy never touched alcohol again.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to drink, you can start practicing from now on!”
While speaking, Ron had already handed the wine gourd to Luffy, smiled mysteriously, and said:”How about it, if you want to be a pirate, just take a sip.”
Taking the wine gourd handed over by Ron, Luffy looked hesitant.
But remembering what Ron said before, Luffy finally turned his face and uncorked his wine.
“I fought hard to become the Pirate King!”
With a loud shout, Luffy picked up the gourd of wine and took a big gulp.
As the strong wine entered his throat, Luffy’s expression changed, and his whole face turned into the color of pig liver.
He took it away fiercely. The wine bottle and the big gulp of wine he just poured into his mouth were all sprayed into the sea.
“Cough cough cough!!”
loadAdv(7,3);
“Cough cough cough!!!”
Luffy, whose face and neck were all flushed red, coughed crazily.
Seeing Luffy’s miserable appearance, Ron, who was gloating about his misfortune, was laughing so hard that he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Hahahahaha! You kid, how can anyone drink this kind of strong liquor? Is this how you drink it? Ha ha ha ha!”
Amid Ron’s laughter, Luffy coughed for a while before he could catch his breath.
But at this moment, his mouth and throat still felt as uncomfortable as burning. In order to relieve this pain, Luffy He stuck out his tongue and gasped:”Grandpa, this thing you usually drink is too bad, isn’t it? If I want to be a pirate, do I have to learn to drink this stuff?”
“Hahahaha, the way you drink will definitely choke people.”
Ron, who succeeded in his conspiracy, laughed and took back the wine gourd. After taking a sip, his old face showed a trace of intoxication.
The alcohol content of his wine was close to 80 degrees. Even with his current body, he did not dare to be so bold.
It would be strange for Luffy to drink in this way without choking.
Seeing that Luffy was still confused, Ron shook his head and said with a smile:”Whether you want to be a pirate or not, what does drinking have to do with it? Grandpa, I was just teasing you, silly boy”
He said so much before just to deceive this boy and let him taste what it feels like to choke on strong alcohol.
Luffy is the real guy, believe whatever he says
“Lie to me?”When Luffy heard this, his little face suddenly became wilted and his mouth pursed.
But he seemed to suddenly think of something, and the grievance on his face disappeared instantly, and he even grinned.
“If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that if I become a pirate, I don’t need to learn to drink?”
“You brat, you are too optimistic.……”Seeing that Luffy still had the same heartless character, Ron couldn’t help but shook his head.
“By the way, Grandpa, when can we get to the Navy Headquarters? The sailing speed of this small boat is too slow. How about we change to a bigger boat so that we can store more food?”
Luffy felt frightened when he thought of the time he spent floating on the sea and starving.
Is there anything more terrifying in the world than being hungry?
“You brat, take a big boat? Are you rich, or am I rich?” Ron glared.
Although he retired as a Vice Admiral of the Navy, and his connections behind him were stronger than anyone else, his pension was naturally ridiculously high.
But he had nothing to spend money on during these years of retirement, so his pension was naturally I haven’t received it for a long time.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said those words to Lilixiang with such an old face.
“ah? money? I do not have either……”Luffy suddenly felt like a deflated ball.
In Windmill Village, he can go hunting in the mountains when he is hungry.
But outside here, it seems that if you don’t have money, you have to go hungry.
And they didn’t seem to bring much food when they came out of Shields Town.
Seemingly sensing what Luffy was thinking, Ron exhaled a puff of smoke and said,”Don’t worry, the next island will be here soon, and I won’t let you be hungry for so long.””
After saying that, Ron looked at the sea ahead.
In that direction, the outline of the island can already be vaguely seen.
If I remember correctly.
There should be the island where Cocoa West Village is located.
