5: Chapter 5 Shanks temporarily departs to kill SiegfriedLuffy coldly watched as Higuma walked to the bar."Hahahaha, bring me all the drinks you have here!"
"I'm sorry, all the wine is sold out," Maggie replied.
"Sorry, it seems we've finished all the wine," Shanks said."If you don't mind, you can drink this one; it's unopened."
Sieg's eyes turned cold, and he smashed the bottle with a punch."I'm an 8 million bounty bandit!This little bit of wine isn't even enough to rinse my mouth!"
However, Shanks simply looked at the broken bottles on the ground and said indifferently, "Oh dear, you've made a mess of the floor." He then squatted down to clean up the mess, when Sieg suddenly drew his sword and slashed a large gash in the table, with the spilled liquor flowing down the gash.
Sig said coldly, "Since you like cleaning so much, then you can clean to your heart's content.Also, remember, I'm an 8 million dollar mountain bandit, not like trashy pirates like you.Next time you see us, stay far away from me."
After saying that, he led his men out of the tavern.
Luffy watched Higuma leave with disdain, thinking, "What arrogance!If Shanks hadn't chosen not to bother with you, none of you would have been worth a single hand's worth of your lives."
Not long after Sig left, all the pirates in the tavern burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, our boss is really in a sorry state."
Luffy looked at Shanks, who was laughing heartily, and asked with feigned confusion, "Shanks, aren't you angry?You got splashed with wine."
Shanks replied, "What's there to be angry about?It's just that I got some wine spilled on me."
Luffy recalled the scene in the original work where he went to vent his anger on Higuma, but was captured by Higuma because he was too weak.At that time, Shanks said, "I don't care if you throw wine on me or spit on me, but I will never forgive the guy who bullies my friend." At that time, Luffy understood the importance of his friends.It was because of this incident that Luffy valued his friends so much that he risked being chased by a Marine Admiral to defeat the Celestial Dragon.
"But now, I'm not that weak Luffy anymore, Higuma, are you ready to die?" Luffy thought to himself.
The next day, Luffy arrived at Makino's tavern but didn't see Shanks and the others.He asked Makino, "Makino-neechan, where are Shanks and the others?"
"They've set sail, saying they're going to take care of something," Makino replied."Oh, I see," Luffy replied, "perfect timing to get the mission done."
"System, activate mission navigation," Luffy said mentally to the system."Okay, navigation activated for the host.Wishing the host a successful mission."
Luffy followed the navigation to the road that Higuma always took to get to the tavern and waited there.Suddenly, he heard a loud laugh from ahead: "Hahaha, guys, yesterday's pirates were such cowards!They were too scared to move after being splashed with wine.But that proprietress is really pretty, how about we take her today, hehe."
"Then the leader should leave some soup for the brothers to drink."
Upon hearing this, Luffy's eyes flashed with murderous intent.Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being ruthless.
"Hmm?Isn't this the brat from the tavern yesterday?What's up, is there something you need?"
"Yes," Luffy said with a cold laugh, "I came to you today because I want to borrow your life."
"What!You brat!" Sig roared."Men, kill this brat and bring him to the village.Let them see what happens when they anger me!"
"Yes, boss!" Sig's men roared and charged at Luffy, but Luffy calmly raised his hand."Gum-Gum!" Luffy's hand suddenly stretched out and slammed into the face of the first bandit who was charging at him.
"What?" The bandit at the front hadn't even reacted before he was knocked to the ground.Luffy picked up his sword and said, "You shouldn't have humiliated my closest people, so."
Before the remaining bandits could react, they heard "Water Breathing, Third Form, Flowing Dance," and instantly, all the bandit underlings screamed and fell to the ground, losing all vital signs.
"What!Damn it!Don't underestimate me!I'm a bandit with a bounty of 8 million!" Higuma angrily drew his sword and charged at Luffy.
"Hmph, you're really arrogant.Shanks just didn't want to bother with you yesterday.And also," Luffy said calmly, "Water Breathing, First Form, Water Surface Slash." With a flash of light, Higuma clutched his neck and fell to the ground in despair.Before he died, he heard, "Have you ever seen an ant attack an elephant, but did the elephant fight back?"
