The Great Voyage: I'm Not a Pirate

Chapter Thirteen Showing Strength

Days passed like this, and the red-haired pirates seemed to regard Windmill Village as their temporary residence. Although they would also go to sea, they would still return here.

It was also during this time that Luffy used a knife to cut a scar under his left eye in order to prove his courage. Shanks was so angry that he called him a fool.

After such a long period of getting along, the villagers also discovered that the red-haired pirates are not bad people, and they do not make a living by robbing - at least they do not rob civilians, they only rob fellow pirates, which is illegal. Black, no one will say anything.

It was precisely because of this kind of black-and-white crime that when the red-haired pirates went out to rob the sea, they snatched Luffy's Devil Fruit, the Rubber Fruit, from the enemy's ship, and casually placed it on the counter of the tavern. And at the banquet that day, he habitually teased Luffy. As a result, Luffy was so angry that he ate the rubber fruit placed on the counter. By the time everyone found out, it was already too late. Luffy had turned into a rubber man.

"Hey, Luo An, look at me……"Luffy got the rubber fruit, and after the initial shock, he quickly accepted the fact that he had turned into a rubber man, and quickly ran home to show off to Roan.

Luo An was practicing his sword-drawing skills. Hearing this, he shook his head helplessly. In order to maintain the normal development of the plot, he did not communicate too much with the red-haired pirates. On the contrary, Luffy and Shanks were very familiar with each other. , became a lifelong friend who talked about almost everything, and became good friends with everyone in the red-haired pirates. From then on, in addition to the father, the leader of the revolutionary army, and the hero grandfather, Luffy had a third one. Backer - this kind of luck, can I say that this is worthy of being the protagonist of destiny?

"You actually became a devil fruit user?"Luo An looked a little disappointed. Of course, this was intentional on his part.

"Eh? Why aren't you surprised?"Luffy originally wanted to see Luo An's surprised look, but he didn't expect Luo An to have this expression. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"What's so strange about this? Because I am also a devil fruit user. Luo An smiled and stretched out his index finger. He tapped it lightly and saw a bolt of lightning flash from his fingertips, piercing the space and instantly hitting a stone ten meters away. There was only a soft"chi" sound, and the stone was blown away. A small hole was made - the kind where you can see from one end to the other

"Si Guoyi, so awesome."Luffy was shocked. To be honest, although he has lived with Luo An for so long, he has never seen Luo An take action, let alone what Luo An's strength is. Today is an eye-opener.

"bang bang bang~"

"What a wonderful performance."A clear sound of applause came, and Shanks's voice sounded:"Oh, I'm sorry, little brother, I didn't mean to peek. I followed over because I was worried about Luffy. Who knew I would see it when I came over? This scene - but this guy is really awesome. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought you were just an ordinary person.……"

"It doesn't matter, it's not a secret that needs to be hidden."Of course Luo An discovered Shanks a long time ago, but he didn't use Haki, but ultrasonic positioning. Over the years, Luo An has developed many practical small abilities in order to exercise his fruit abilities, and ultrasonic positioning is just one of them. One, and there are many others.

Judging from the way Shanks' hair is wet and smells of alcohol, it is obvious that the incident of insult by bandit Sig has happened, but think about it, Luffy is in the west After Luffy insulted Shanks, Shanks didn't pay attention, and Luffy ate the rubber fruit in anger (there are two different versions of this section, and the animated version is used here)

"But little brother, since you are so powerful, why are you willing to live in seclusion in this small village? Of course, I'm not investigating the case, I'm just a little curious. It doesn't matter if I don't want to answer." Shanks was very curious about this. It would have been fine if he hadn't seen Luo An take action, but now that he saw Luo An take action, he naturally asked about it - you only need to know that Luo An used lightning to pierce the stone. With this skill, he is qualified enough to join his red-haired ship. Although he can only be a low-level cadre, it is still the ship of the Four Emperors. At the same time,

Shanks began to be wary in his heart. There was such a hidden person around him. A master, he didn't notice it at all. This is really derelict. It seems that the relaxed life during this period has really made him relax.

"There's no reason, I just don't want to be a pirate."Luo An's words were half true and half false, but Shanks didn't intend to go into details and didn't care what the answer was.

"Why doesn't Luo An want to be a pirate?" Shanks didn't pursue it, but Luffy was curious:"Don't you want to be the freest person in the world?"

"I don't yearn for freedom. Luo An patted Luffy on the head and said with a smile:"Everyone has his own path. Your path is the Pirate King, but I want to take another path, so we are not the same.""

This was said to Luffy, and it was also said to Shanks. It told him his ambition.

"All right."Shanks is not an idiot. Luo An's words have made it very clear. We are not the same people, so you'd better not say anything about recruiting.

After understanding this, Shanks also gave up his thoughts of recruiting. , but he was smiling bitterly in his heart. He really didn't expect that as a Four Emperor, he would recruit people and be rejected sometimes. However, everyone has their own ambitions, so it's better not to force it. But in his heart, Shanks was already interested in this man named Luo An's child fell in love with him, and he wanted to see where this boy who rejected him would go in the future.

"So Luo An, what is your path?"Shanks knows what's interesting. Luffy won't care about this. His single-minded brain can't think of the twists and turns inside, he can only think of what is what.

Shanks next to him also pricked up his ears. Although he knows what's interesting, But that didn't mean that he wasn't interested in Luo An's thoughts. He was just too embarrassed to ask before, but now that Luffy asked, he naturally wanted to hear it.

"my way……"Luo An looked up at the endless starry sky and murmured:"My way... is to sail freely on the sea."

"Eh? Luffy's mouth opened wide:"Isn't this the same as my dream?""

Shanks almost stared out his eyes. He waited for a long time with his ears pricked up, thinking that Luo An would tell some shocking dreams. Who knew that after a long time, he was still sailing on the sea - since everyone's The road is the same, so why did you take such a big detour?

Luo An laughed and said:"It's different, because I am not a pirate, so there is no reward. I can sail freely on the sea without worrying about being caught." navy chase"

"I'm afraid your dream is not that easy to realize." Shanks couldn't help but said:"I have to say that you think well, but this world is never as beautiful as you think. Sometimes you won't get into trouble unless you don't want to cause trouble. There are many in this world. You're the kind of idiot who makes trouble out of nothing. If you don't provoke others, they may not provoke you.……"
