I exposed Luffy to Garp in the beginning of One Piece!

Soon, the enthusiastic atmosphere filled the air again, food and drinks were on the table, and everyone started to revel again.

Clinking glasses, laughter.

Everlasting

"A pirate's party……"

Kuzan held up the wine glass and looked at the people who were laughing and laughing with a slightly complicated look.

Perhaps it was because he had been in the system for many years, but the unrestrained and free atmosphere in front of him made Kuzan feel vaguely out of place.

"Give."

The soft voice of a man sounded in his ears.

Kuzan looked at the sound and saw a pair of bowls and chopsticks. He couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"Thank you very much."

Qing Pheasant took the bowl and chopsticks and thanked Lafitte in front of him.

"Hohoho~"

After handing Kuzan the bowl and chopsticks, Lafitte came to sit next to Kuzan.

"Is it convenient for me to dine with you? Lafitte said with a smile, but he had already picked up a big piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

"Ah la la."

Kuzan scratched his cheek, then picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, and soon his mouth was full.

It must be said that Sanji's craftsmanship and the wonderful menu gave Kuzan an unprecedented Taste enjoyment.

This is a wonderful taste that cannot be tasted in the highest dining hall of the navy.

"This piece of fried pork tastes really good, but the soup is quite red. Was it made with red wine?"

"Made of the blood of sea beasts."

When it comes to red wine and food, the two of them soon had a common language, and they became slightly closer. Otherwise, how can we say that there will be a wine table culture? How was this culture born?

After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are better.

The dining table When the atmosphere was about the same,

Lafitte suddenly turned to look at Xia Nuo, who was sitting in the main seat, and said:"Captain... he values ​​us very much, so he must not be able to accept betrayal."

"……"

Seeing that Lafitte suddenly changed the topic to this aspect and spoke so openly, Kuzan's eyes narrowed and he said nothing.

""Hohoho"

Lafitte continued to smile, a smile bloomed on his face, and said calmly:"I hope your joining will not be a bad thing. Kuzan looked at Lafitte seriously and sighed:

"As early as when you came to hand me the chopsticks, I could probably guess what you wanted to say."

"Actually, I can also feel your distrust of me."

Lafitte made a courtesy and chuckled:

"Sorry, because of your original identity, it is obviously impossible for us to trust you without reservation."

"There is no need to apologize for this. If it were me, I would be the same as you. Kuzan looked down at the deep red soup in the bowl, scratched his cheek out of habit, and sighed:

"But when I 'formally accepted' the captain's invitation, I already made it very clear."

As he said that, Kuzan raised his eyes and looked at Xia Nuo, who was having a drink with Urqui, Kidd, and Zoro.

"I know that you each have your own things you want to achieve and your own dreams, but I have them too! only……"

"The years of sitting in that 'position' have made me understand that there are some things that even if I get the 'position' I can't do anything about it."

"……"

Lafitte looked at the blue pheasant quietly

"I say that, but this is just a pretty good-sounding excuse I made for myself before I quit the Navy Headquarters. The deepest reason is that I know that the higher-ups have never given me a higher position. plan. Kuzan tilted his head to meet Lafitte's gaze and said calmly:

"Since I can't get new opportunities and achieve nothing in my original position, I have no choice but to find another way. But at that time, I didn't expect that I would join you... I don't hate such whims."

"Thank you for telling me this."

Hearing this, Lafitte suddenly smiled at Kuzan again.

It was not the trademark smile that kept distance and politeness before, but a sincere smile.

Kuzan was slightly startled, first shook his head and laughed, and then again Looking at Xia Nuo, his tone was mixed with inexplicable emotions:

"Sometimes just watching the captain's actions from the side, I can't help but feel that"maybe what I couldn't do in that position, I can do here". Why exactly?……"

"Because the captain never 'questioned' your motives for joining the pirate group from beginning to end."

Kuzan couldn't help but remain silent.

Indeed, after joining the pirate group, he could feel the distrust of people like Zoro Shiliu Hawkins, but from Xia Nuo's attitude... he didn't feel this way.

"Yo ho ho ho... Send Binx's wine to you, like the sea breeze, ride the waves as you please……"

At this time, Brooke's singing voice came along with the melodious piano sound.

Accompanied by the dance steps of Zangao, Feng Clay, and Franky

, the noise on the banquet table suddenly stopped.

Everyone looked at Brooke who was sitting in front of the piano and swaying his body to the melody, as well as the dancing trio, and all smiled.

Kuzan also felt the joyful atmosphere firsthand, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised

"Want to go together?"

Lafitte suddenly extended his hand to Kuzan

"Come and join this party in your own way"

"my own way......"

Kuzan looked around.

Chopper and Usopp were sticking chopsticks into their nostrils, and Zoro approached Akindaz to have a drink together again.

Nami and Ren bet money on their drinking capacity, and Sanji was courting several beautiful dancers by serving them low-fat vegetable salads.

Hawkins was giving a divination, Luo was picking at the sandwich in disgust, and Urqui was planning to sacrifice his own life to donate his body to the devout female monk.

The two brothers Kidd and Kira were drinking udon and seemed to be recalling some unbearable past events.

Quinn, Peggy Wan, Ulti and other people who joined the Beast Pirates later in life also showed off their rap and dance skills, heating up the atmosphere at the scene.~~~......

"In my own way?"

Infected by this atmosphere, Kuzan smiled lightly and stretched out his hand.

However, his hands were filled with the cold air of frozen fruit.

But there was no trace of hostility in this cold air.

"Speaking of which, I do have something I have wanted to do for a long time~"
