Pirates: Starting from being rescued by Roger

After Loki and Shanks walked in the woods for a while, something suddenly opened up in front of them: a large wooden house was located in the middle of a large open space. There were two huge knives crossed above the door of the house, and behind the house there was a wooden observation tower with a flag on it.

Loki felt it and found that there were more than twenty people in the room, but none of them were children. I felt deeper into the forest and found two auras entangled in the distance, one was that of a child, and the other should be some kind of beast based on its size.

"This is this?" Shanks asked, looking at the house in front of him.

"This is the bandit Dadan's family. They say they are bandits, but they are more like a group of people playing house in the mountains... Garp probably gave Esto to them to raise. Let's go, Ace is not here now ." As he spoke, Loki turned around and continued walking deeper into the forest. Shanks looked at the house in front of him and pondered for a moment, then followed Loki's scent and chased after him.

After walking for a while, Loki heard the roar of the beast. Loki turned back and signaled Shanks, then hid his breath and walked quickly towards the roar. Shanks immediately followed Loki with his aura hidden.

Loki and Shanks jumped up a big tree and saw a child not far ahead holding a water pipe and fighting a huge crocodile. At this time, the crocodile was already covered with bruises and was dying. It allowed the child to hit its head with the water pipe, but occasionally swept the child with its tail.

The child was wearing a torn vest and shorts, with small freckles on his face and facial features similar to Roger's. The gloomy expression on his face was exactly what Loki remembered how Luffy looked when he first met Ace when he was a child...

While Ace's attention was focused on the crocodile, Loki picked up the camera on his chest and flew into the air to take several photos of Ace before returning to Shanks with satisfaction.

"I never thought you were still a Devil Fruit user. The changes on your feet indicate that you are a phantom beast, right?" Shanks asked as he looked at Loki's feet that turned into golden scale claws.

"Tch, Devil Fruits are nothing in this sea. If you wanted to, you would already be a user with fruit abilities." Loki answered the question incorrectly.

"Haha, that's right. If you don't want to say it, forget it. I'm just a little curious." Shanks laughed. "This is Ace, he looks a lot like Captain Roger..."

"Well, it should be him. It's the first time I've seen him in ten years. The last time was when he was born...I have to say here that he is Roger's child. He can fight at the age of ten. To survive such a powerful beast." Loki said with emotion as he looked at Ace.

"Do you want to see him? If you don't have this plan, let's go." Loki asked Shanks.

"No need, it's enough to know who Captain Roger's child is. Since Captain Roger entrusted him to Garp, I can no longer interfere with his growth. Everyone has their own life... If in the future, I can't interfere with his growth." The most you can do when you meet me at sea is to take care of me." Shanks shook his head.

"Well, now that Ace's matter has come to an end, can we two compete for a while? To be honest, I am still very interested in the world's best swordsman. After all, I have been working behind closed doors on a small island for more than ten years. , the opponents I encountered after going to sea were all too weak..." Loki said calmly.

"I'm not the best swordsman in the world yet... and since I saw Luffy, I don't intend to compete for the throne of the world's best swordsman. Luffy will be the key to the door to a new era." Shanks' eyes showed a firm look. look.

"Oh? Are you prepared to do something to nourish the growth of the seedlings? In this case, I have to compete with you while you are still at your peak! I feel that this Ace has been trained into a "black knife" The opportunity lies with you." Loki touched the knife behind his back and looked into Shanks's eyes and said with a burning gaze.

"Is that so? It seems that your diligence in the past ten years is really unimaginable. It is an honor for me to witness Captain Roger's knife being tempered into a black knife. I accept your invitation to spar. When will you come? Decide!"

"Then it will be tomorrow." Loki said, taking out the map and looking at it, "There is a desert island eighteen nautical miles northeast of Windmill Village. We will go there tomorrow." After speaking, Loki looked back at Lying Down. Ace jumped off the tree and walked towards the windmill village after he was on the crocodile corpse. Shanks also looked at Ace before turning and leaving.

"Okay, let's do this for now. I will go to the dock to find you early tomorrow morning. Then we will take a boat out to sea together." Loki said to Shanks when Loki and Shanks returned to the village.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you on the boat tomorrow morning." After saying that, Shanks left first and walked towards the bar.

Loki thought for a while and instead of going to the bar, he came to a restaurant. When I opened the door, I found that it was very lively inside: a group of adults were surrounding a child, pointing at him and laughing, while the child was pulling his own cheeks, making various funny expressions, and dancing in the middle...

"Boss, give me a copy." Rocky came to the bar and said to the smiling boss.

? ? ? The restaurant owner came back to his senses and asked with a question mark on his face: "Specialize one book? What do you mean?"

"Alas! This idea is useless here." Loki thought in his mind and replied: "I just want to serve all the dishes in your store!"

"Guest, are you serious? Although our place is remote, I went to sea to practice Buddhism when I was young. Apart from other things, the dozens of different dishes are not difficult for me." The boss said with a serious face.

"Don't worry, boss, I'm still very confident in my appetite." As he spoke, Loki took out a handful of bills from his pocket and put them on the table. "You just cook the food. You need the money. If these are not enough, I still have more." Loki said as he patted the baggage on his back.

The boss's eyes lit up after seeing the money. "Okay, guest, just sit back and enjoy the delicious food!" The boss first invited Loki to a table, settled him down, and then shouted at the crowd: "Don't watch the fun! Who's here? Go Give me some portions of the vegetables from your fields. Someone, go to your butcher shop and get me some fresh meat. And someone, please go bring me the fish you just caught in the morning. Come on, come on, come on, it’s big business today!”

The people who were laughing around Luffy immediately dispersed and went about their business when they heard the boss's voice, leaving only a few people who were still teasing Luffy.

Loki looked at Luffy and saw that Luffy's hands were itchy. He walked up to Luffy and pinched his cheek - "Hey! Baga Ha Mo Ma!" Luffy said angrily and vaguely with his face stretched out.

"Pop!" Loki let go and Luffy's face bounced back with a soft sound. "It's really interesting...and it feels so good." Loki sighed.

"Hey, don't talk to yourself, I'm going to beat you up! Look at my rubber rubber, oh, it hurts!" Luffy angrily stretched out his fist to hit him, but Loki reached out and flicked it before he could punch you. One squatted on the ground with a headache.

"The casting swing is too long..." Loki complained.

"It hurts! Why does it still hurt when I'm already rubber?" Luffy muttered to himself as he squatted on the ground...

"Okay, it was my fault just now. I was just curious about the rubber fruit. How about I treat you to dinner as an apology?" Loki said to Luffy. Can the chosen son of this world not be offended or not...

"Great!" Luffy sat down at the table with eyes shining. Loki also sat opposite Luffy and waited for the meal to arrive...
