Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Chapter 1 Losing money!

In the year 1510 of the Haiyuan calendar, the Kingdom of Goya, Windmill Village.

"Hey! Lin Zhi, is the egg fried rice ready today?"

A little kid kicked open the wooden door of the restaurant and walked in swaggeringly.

The kid was wearing short-sleeved shirts with an x ​​pattern and bright red shorts. He was thin and had short black hair.

The arrogant and arrogant attitude appears on the childish little face, which is inconsistent and at the same time inexplicably cute.

This little kid is Monkey D. Luffy, the grandson of naval hero Garp.

At the front desk of the restaurant, a handsome man wearing light blue short-sleeves lifted his crossed legs off the table.

Lin Zhi passed by several neatly arranged dining tables. As he walked, he scolded Luffy with a headache:
"Luffy, how many times have I told you that this is a restaurant that needs to be paid for, not your home."

Little Luffy patted his chest and made a promise readily: "Oh, don't worry, I will take care of everything today!"

At this time, he still didn't have the scar under his right eye that wanted to show his courage as a pirate.

"...You said the same thing yesterday, but as a result, after dinner, you ran to dig out the bird's nest."

Lin Zhi spread his hands helplessly, and his words were full of deep resentment, "I just ran away, and even provoked the red-haired strange bird guarding the bird's nest to come to my place, causing a lot of chaos in the store. Jump!"

Hearing this, the arrogant Luffy lost his confidence, raised his little face, and turned his whole mouth to one side.

Played a rogue.

After thinking for a few seconds, Luffy raised his head again and said with a heartless smile: "When I become a big pirate like Shanks and the others, I will definitely return the money to you!"

"A kid like you who can't even dig out a bird's egg will only get beaten when you become a pirate, right?" Lin Zhi burst out laughing.

"You bastard! How dare you underestimate my dream!!"

Little Luffy's teeth became jagged and he clenched his fists, looking furious.

Lin Zhi brought a glass of juice to him at this time: "No, here's the juice for you."

Little Luffy immediately beamed with joy, took the juice and drank it in one gulp, showing a bright smile: "Hey, thank you, you are quite a nice person."

"Chenghui 50 Baileys."

“Asshole it’s so expensive!!!”

In the end, Lin Zhi still couldn't resist Luffy's pleading, so he went to the kitchen to fry an egg fried rice and served it to the table.

After a gust of wind swept through the remaining clouds, Xiao Lufei disappeared in a flash, and he didn't know where he went to play.

Naturally, Lin Zhi would not really argue with this little devil. He chuckled and sat back down at the front desk of the restaurant.

It was already dusk when the sun was setting in the west, and the soft afterglow of the sunset poured in along the half-open wooden door, adding a hazy color to the empty restaurant.

Lin Zhi picked up a glass of iced Coke and took a sip. He looked up at the pirate world-style street outside the door and fell into deep thought.

It has been a year since he traveled to the world of One Piece. From being at a loss at the beginning, he has now taken root in Windmill Village. With the cooking skills he brought from his hometown of Blue Star, he has become a restaurant owner accepted by the villagers.

He had also thought about using the overall view of the world of Pirate King in his mind to make a name for himself in this sea where heroes competed with each other. However, he did not have the courage to put himself in a barrel and follow the tide, nor did he have the courage to start with. He was lucky enough to meet Zoro, the Three-Sword Style for nothing.

In the world of pirates, strength is the most important thing. If you want to gain a foothold in a sea full of monsters that are as powerful as the prophet alone, it is really not enough.

Recalling the many hardships he had experienced before, Lin Zhi couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"According to the restaurant's current income, even if you include borrowing money from everywhere, it will still take more than a month to save up 300 million beli to make a wish..."

Yes, as a time traveler, although he does not have simple and crude bindings like the panel system, he also has a unique "plug-in".

It is a wishing pool that exists deep in the mind. As long as certain conditions are met, you can summon strong men from another world according to your own settings!
The requirement for summoning the first partner is 300 million Baileys.

Thinking that he would have an extremely powerful partner in a month, Lin Zhi couldn't help but look forward to it on his handsome face.

By that time, maybe he can leave Windmill Village and start a magnificent adventure in the pirate world!

Just as he was thinking about it, three carpenters wearing vests walked in outside the restaurant.

"Boss, I'm almost starving after working all day. Do you have any new dishes today? Hurry up and bring them over to try!"

Several carpenters found a seat in the corner and sat down in a familiar manner. It was obvious that they were regular customers of the restaurant.

"You guys really guessed it. I did develop a new dish today, braised strange bird meat."

Lin Zhi stood up from the front desk with a smile. After getting some ideas from several guests who wanted to try something new, he turned and walked into the kitchen to get busy.

A few minutes later, he brought out a plate of braised bird meat that was full of color, flavor and flavor, along with white rice and a few side dishes.

"It smells so good!" The three carpenters stared at the bird meat and laughed.

"Try it, I just caught it yesterday, the meat is absolutely tender and delicious." Lin Zhi said with a smile.

"Then we're going!"

The three carpenters couldn't wait to pick up the bird meat and put it into their mouths. They immediately showed expressions of satisfaction and happiness, feeling that all the fatigue and fatigue of the day had been swept away!

In fact, the food Lin Zhi cooked was not considered delicious in his hometown, but it was considered quite good in the pirate world.

If he hadn't captured the villagers' stomachs and had a kind-hearted manner, how could he, as an outsider, have been recognized in just one year?

"Do you need drinks? I can get them for you at Maginot's." Lin Zhi asked smoothly.

Maginot's tavern, the tavern where the red-haired pirates often drink, is diagonally opposite the restaurant.His restaurant does not sell alcohol. Although the profits are considerable, he will not do such stupid things that ruin people's business.

Of course, there is also the reason why Maginot Tavern has a good relationship with the Red-haired Pirates.

After going back and forth, Lin Zhi had a good relationship with Maginot Tavern. Shanks' pirate group would occasionally come here to eat and drink when they returned from the sea.

boom!
Just as the carpenters were about to reply, the door of the restaurant was suddenly kicked open.

"Drinks? I happen to be thirsty. Please bring us a few boxes!"

After hearing the sound, I saw a group of bandits wearing white clothes and bandit scarves filing in.

The leader was a man wearing a brown coat, carrying a long knife at his waist, with a vulgar face and an arrogant expression.

Under the trembling gaze of the three carpenters, the bandit Sige slowly came to stand in front of Lin Zhi and stood in front of Lin Zhi with treacherous eyes.

"As for the wine money, just think of it as the interest on the 80 Baileys I lent you. What do you think, my dear boss Lin Zhi?"

Lin Zhi looked calmly at the aggressive Sig, who was ridiculed by comic fans as the Bandit King.

"You just borrowed the money a few days ago, and now you have to collect interest?"

The story started a week ago. In order to summon his friends as soon as possible and not waste time in Windmill Village, he took a desperate risk and borrowed money from the bandit group entrenched nearby.

If you can borrow 100 million, plus the money borrowed from the villagers, you can gather the 300 million needed for the wishing pool and start the summons directly.

But in the end, even if he used the restaurant as collateral, he could only borrow 80 beli from the bandit Sig, so he had to wait another month to fill the gap of 20.

Of course, compared to the ferocious and cruel Sig, the red-haired pirates currently entrenched in Windmill Village may be more suitable candidates for borrowing money, but Lin Zhi did not ask Shanks.

The reason is simple. If you borrow money from the terrifyingly powerful Shanks, you have to pay it back.

"I just want to collect interest in advance. Why, do you have any objections?" Bandit Sig looked at Lin Zhi with disdain in his eyes.

The reason why the profit-seeking bandits are willing to borrow money is naturally because they value the high interest rates behind it.

With this excuse, they came here to eat the King's meal as a matter of course, and they didn't have to worry about causing trouble and raising the bounty.

After all, this is what Lin Zhi owes them!
"It's impossible for me to pay you interest before the time is up."

What Sig never expected was that Lin Zhi actually rejected his request for interest in person!
"Boy, do you know who you are talking to?"

The playful smile on Sig's lips slowly faded, and his eyes were frighteningly gloomy.

He sneered and turned his head to look at the younger brother beside him, "Tear this place down and show this guy some color!"

"Understood, boss!"

The bandit brothers immediately understood what he meant, spread out in all directions, grabbed the tables, chairs and benches in the restaurant and smashed them randomly.

For these cruel and cold-blooded people, this kind of thing is simply a common occurrence!
Bang bang bang!
There was the sound of wooden tables and chairs being smashed to pieces, and the clean and tidy restaurant was suddenly filled with smoke and dust and became a mess.

The three carpenters who had come here to eat earlier were so frightened that they ran away from the restaurant along the edge of the corner.

Seeing the other party acting so wantonly, Lin Zhi's eyes couldn't help but become a little colder.

Under the interested eyes of the bandits, he turned around and picked up the nearest wooden stool.

Sig held up the knife with his hand and was about to draw blood from this idiot who dared to attack him. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhi raised the stool with his backhand and threw it to the ground in front of him.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, which stunned the bandit boys who were randomly wreaking havoc around them.

"Smash it! Why don't you smash it? I can smash this restaurant if you can!"

"Threat me, right? Keep smashing it! At worst, I won't be able to do this business anymore, and I won't be able to pay back the money!"

Lin Zhi blew his beard and stared, with anger and hysteria written on his handsome face, and yelled at Sige.

Sig was dumbfounded. He was stunned by this sudden operation. Even the half of the blade he pulled out was hovering in mid-air.

"What are you doing? Want to threaten me?" His voice sounded very perceptive.

"You are threatening yourself! I only count on this restaurant to make money. How can I continue this business if you destroy everything?!"

Lin Zhi fearlessly took a step forward, "Stop talking nonsense, take this life if you want it, and let's clear up both sides."

yes!This guy's only means of making money is this restaurant. Where can he get money if it's smashed?

After Lin Zhi said this, Sig finally realized that the way he used to burn, kill and smash as a bandit seemed to be of no use to the guy in front of him who owed money.

If he really wants to kill this guy, won't the 80 Baileys he loaned out be wasted? !
After much thought, is it actually the safest choice to let Lin Zhi continue to open the restaurant?

Seeing the scoundrel in front of him who was not afraid of boiling water, for a moment, Sig regretted why he had lent the money out because of the high interest rate!

"Okay, you'd better pray that you have the money to pay it back next month, or you're dead!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Sig finally decided to compromise. He completely retracted the long sword into its sheath, turned around and greeted his younger brothers to leave.

"Wait!" Lin Zhi suddenly called him.

"Is there anything else?" Sig turned back, his eyes becoming colder.

Lin Zhi, who knew very well that the man who owed money was the uncle, raised his finger and pointed at the tattered dining table and chairs on the ground, and said calmly:

"Losing money."
