The windmill whirled slowly around and around, and the hour hand slowly passed around again and again. Before I knew it, the red-haired pirates had been here for almost a year.

Windmill Village, Maginot Tavern.

Luo Xing sat on the bar chair, happily holding a glass of juice and shaking his head. His legs could not reach the ground, so he was just hanging in the air. With his eyes smiling, he took a sip of the juice and shook it happily twice.

Maginot stood at the bar and looked at Luo Xing with a smile in her eyes.

Suddenly a childish and energetic voice sounded outside: "Stars! Stars!"

It's Luffy.

Hearing him calling her, Luo Xing hurriedly drank the last sip of juice and said goodbye to Maginot: "I'm leaving first! Thank you, Aunt Maginot."

Maginot took the empty cup from Luo Xing's hand and smiled softly, "Okay, have fun with Luffy."

"Okay." Luo Xing propped up his chair and jumped down, said "ok" without looking back, turned around and ran out, "What's the matter, Luffy?"

"I..." Luffy suddenly changed his words as he spoke, pinched his waist with his hands and widened his eyes, "Ah! Shanks said, I am your brother, Xingxing, you have to call me brother."

Luo Xing pouted and turned away, "I don't want it, Luffy, you don't look like a brother at all."

Luffy jumped up angrily: "Who said that? There's nothing like me!"

Luo Xing: "You look nothing like me!"

……

The two people stared at each other for a moment, then suddenly, as if they had reached an agreement, they turned their heads and said "hum" to each other. When the situation came around, the two of them were on good terms again, as if they had never been at odds before.

Luffy raised his fists with excitement on his face, "Let's go find Shanks today. I want to practice my fists even more powerfully. I will become the Pirate King in the future!" As he said this, he stretched out his hand and hit him a few times. Next, "Ha! Haha!"

Luo Xing: "Then I want to practice swordsmanship like my father, so that I can protect myself when I go to sea in the future. When I grow up, I want to travel around the world!"

Luffy: "Then let's go."

Suddenly I remembered what Uncle Shell said, "The captain has something to do today."

Luo Xing grabbed Luffy and said, "By the way, Luffy, I remembered that Uncle Shell seemed to have said that Dad has something to do today."

Luffy looked confused, "Huh? Is Shanks busy today? Then I'll go see if he's done with his work." As he said that, he disappeared in a flash.

Seeing Luffy running away, Luo Xing sighed and hurriedly caught up, "Luffy, stop here and listen to what I have to say!"

With two "whoosh" sounds, the two of them ran across the road, and the dust that had settled on the road started to rise again.

Grandma, who was sitting on a chair basking in the sun, shook the cattail leaf fan in her hand twice, laughed happily, and said to the little sister next to her: "Hehehe, these two children are really energetic."

"Who says it isn't? Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that our village could live with pirates for so long."

"Haha, Captain, they are good people."

"Yes, last time my old man suddenly fell ill, which made me anxious to death. If the captain hadn't asked their ship's doctor to treat him, my old man might have died."

"I almost had an accident last time, and it was thanks to their help."

"The captain and the others are all very good people, but they just don't know how to be pirates. How dangerous it is..."

The two of them started chatting about how dangerous it is to be a pirate.

……

the other side.

"Luffy! Luffy! Luffy." Luo Xing called Luffy one after another, and finally caught up with him, and found Luffy standing there motionless, following his line of sight.

It's mom and dad, they seem to be talking about this, their expressions are so serious.

Luo Xing was full of doubts, but she did not step forward to disturb him. From the corner of her eye, she accidentally caught sight of Luffy taking one foot out and opening his mouth, ready to step forward and call them. Luo Xing quickly rushed forward, covered Luffy's mouth and dragged him behind a tree. He put his index finger between his lips, shushed, and whispered: "Mom and dad are talking about something, don't go up and disturb them."

From an angle that Luo Xing could not see, Luffy looked serious, and then secretly made up his mind.

Luo Xing, who was hiding behind the tree, suddenly heard his name. He listened with his ears and only heard a few vague words, "We... that... star... how... stay..." Wanted to go again Listen carefully and find that you can't hear anything.

Luffy, whose mouth was covered, struggled, "Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"

Luo Xing, who realized that he couldn't hear, tilted his head slightly, glanced at Luffy out of the corner of his eye and quickly turned back, "Shh, keep your voice down and don't talk."

He noticed that Luffy ignored him and continued to struggle. Luo Xing turned his head to look at Luffy in confusion, "What... happened!!"

Suddenly, he found that his hand covering Luffy's mouth was not only covering his mouth, but also his nose. Luffy's whole face was red from holding back, and he could hardly breathe.

Luo Xing immediately took his hand away and smiled coquettishly: "Hehehe, I'm sorry! Brother~"

Luffy gasped for air, "Hoo, ho, ho." He looked at her sadly. Suddenly he heard Luo Xing calling him brother, and he almost couldn't take his eyes back.

"That's right." Luo Xing hurriedly wanted to change the subject. He turned to look at where his parents were. He was stunned and poked his head out from behind the tree in confusion, "Huh? Where are my parents? They were still here just now."

The two people who were still standing there chatting suddenly disappeared.

Luffy blushed and pushed down Luo Xing's raised hair, then replied with a serious face, "It's okay, he should be leaving."

Luo Xing looked at Luffy in surprise: "Oh, that's right...Luffy, why are you so quiet all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing, let's go back. If Shanks has something to do, we can practice by ourselves." After saying that, Luffy took Luo Xing's hand and walked back.

Luo Xing: "Luffy, what's wrong with you? It's not because you're shy because I called you brother!"

Luffy, who had been solemn just now, suddenly broke down and said, "No!"

As if he already understood something, Luo Xing nodded affirmatively, "That must be the case."

Luffy jumped in anger, "That's not it!"

"What's that like?"

"..."

"Why don't you just say nothing? This doesn't look like Luffy at all."

……

The two children walked farther and farther and slowly walked out of the forest.

"The two children have a good relationship. They are having fun, and Xingxing has a good friend." Shanks looked pleased.

Leia said worriedly, "Luffy seems to have heard it, will something happen?"

Shanks patted Leia's head comfortingly, "Don't worry, Luffy is a good boy, he will be fine... But your body can't wait any longer."

Leah looked down at her hands, feeling the rapid loss of life, and sighed, "Hey, okay, we will leave in a few days, what about Beckman and the others?"

Shanks half-armed Leia towards the dock, "I've already asked, they want to go with us."

"Everyone……"

Shanks smiled openly, "Relax, our red-haired pirates are so powerful, how can anything happen, hahaha"

……

……

"Luffy! Luffy!" Luo Xing shouted as he jumped up and waved to Luffy who was swimming.

With water vapor all over his body, Luffy walked ashore, "Xingxing, what's wrong?"

Luo Xing excitedly pulled Luffy and left, "Dad said there will be a banquet at Maginot's Tavern, let's go quickly."

"Really! That's great. Let's go quickly." The roles of the two were reversed instantly. Luffy dragged Luo Xing and ran towards Maginot's Tavern.

The two people ran into the tavern quickly, and the party had already begun.

"Hey hey hey hey."

"Ah ha ha!"

"Give me a drink too."

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone was very happy, holding a glass of wine and grinning widely. Lackey was even more exaggerated and started drinking directly while holding the barrel.

Shanks crossed his legs and sat at the bar, pouring himself a drink. There seemed to be some uneasiness in his back. Hearing the sound of two people coming in, "Xingxing, Luffy, you are finally here." Shanks turned around and showed a bright smile.

"Come on, the honey steak that Maginot just made is super delicious. I snatched it from the mouths of a bunch of starving people, hahaha."

Luo Xing retracted his thoughts and secretly scorned himself for thinking about something. Throw all the thoughts you just had out of your mind.

"Dad! We're here." Luo Xing looked around and asked, "Where's mom?"

Shanks was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and replied: "Lea just finished her meal and went back to the ship to rest."

"Mom has been resting so early recently." Luo Xing scratched his face, a little confused.

"Xingxing, come on, let's make some honey steaks. Let's have a good time." Luffy had steak in his mouth and couldn't speak clearly.

Luo Xing looked over and saw that Luffy was already sitting on the chair and starting to devour the food. She also quickly sat down next to Luffy and started eating.

Shanks leaned sideways, with one hand on the bar to support his head and the other hand holding a wine glass. His posture looked casual, while he drank and watched the two children eating.

Luo Xing put down the plate with satisfaction, touched his stomach and sighed comfortably, "Phew~ I'm full."

Looking at Luffy who hadn't stopped yet, Luo Xing's eyes widened with surprise on his face. No matter how many times I’ve seen him, I’m always surprised by Luffy’s appetite. It was the same when we first met, he kept eating.

"Luffy, can't you hold on?" Luo Xing stared at Luffy's belly in surprise.

"Hmm... not bad." Luffy replied while eating, his expression still looked surprised, as if it was different from why Luo Xing asked this question.

"..." Luo Xing stared at Luffy's belly, his claws ready to move, "Luffy, can I touch your belly?"

Luffy puffed out his stomach and said, "Well...Kuoyi, you can touch it."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Xing put his hand up and touched it. He pressed it softly and said, "It's amazing. It can hold so much."

"Hiccup, you're full." Luffy said as he stuffed the last piece of meat into his mouth.

Luo Xing was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Hahahaha." Looking at the two living treasures, Shanks lay on the bar and burst into tears of laughter.
