Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Chapter 16 Luffy, your shoulder fell to the ground
Lin Zhi just stood in the crowd, watching the arrogant bandits leave and disappear at the end of the street.

Hearing Luffy's extremely unhappy shouts coming from the Maginot Tavern, he finally did not go in to check the situation, but silently turned around and returned to his restaurant.

As expected, in the commotion just now, the gluttonous Luffy had already swallowed the destined fruit as a dessert.

The gears of fate are turning quietly at this moment. I wonder if my journey through time can bring about any change in the trajectory of this twisted world?
Mostly yes.

"Those pirates don't look as scary as you said. They didn't even say a word when a bottle was smashed on their head. It's too bad."

Back at the restaurant, Aqua couldn't help but complain.

She saw quite clearly what happened in the tavern just now, and she couldn't help but wonder if what Lin Zhi mentioned about the power of pirates was just to scare her.

"Aqua, what would you do if an ant happened to pass by and made an offensive move to you?"

Lin Zhi came to the familiar front desk and sat down slowly. This time he no longer believed Aqua, but made the fragrant black tea by himself.

The cute Aqua held her chin with one hand, thought carefully, and then waved her fist to give the answer: "Slap anything that dares to offend the goddess into a meat pie."

Lin Zhi: "..."

Is this really the goddess of water?

I'm afraid she's not a narrow-minded goddess!

"All in all, the strength of that group of pirates is definitely beyond your imagination. If you don't want to be photographed, it's best not to provoke them easily."

When Shanks and others came to have breakfast in the morning, Aqua was still sleeping in her room having a sweet dream, so they had not met each other.

"Stop trying to scare people, Lin Zhi. This goddess has completely seen through it. This world is not as scary as you said!" Aqua has obviously confirmed this fact.

Seeing her inexplicably confident look on her IQ, Lin Zhi's worries immediately disappeared.

Even if this guy really provoked the red-haired pirates without his knowledge, Shanks and the others would probably laugh it off or even ignore him.

"I believe that soon, you will be able to see their true strength."

Lin Zhi poured out the brewed black tea, shook the cup, and then took a sip.

The taste is mellow and rich, and it is indeed much better than the goddess's hand washing water!
After a few simple words to deal with Aqua, he stopped talking and began to analyze the current situation with flashing eyes.

After this conflict between bandits and pirates, the red-haired pirates will go to sea again.

As a pirate group that has been able to stand alone in the new world, they seem to be looking for something in the East China Sea, which is known as the weakest.

Although the original work does not give a clear reason, there are only two possibilities.

One is to find the most suitable eater for the rubber (Nika) fruit snatched from the navy, which Luffy accidentally bumped into;
Second, find and protect the son of the original captain Gol D. Roger, and convey Captain Roger's will.

Maybe there are other possibilities, maybe these two can be boiled down to one.

No matter what, when the red-haired pirates return to Windmill Village to kill the Sigiri Bear for the last time, they will leave the East China Sea completely and go to the Grand Line to compete with the powerful powers of all parties.

Finally succeeded in ascending to the throne, and four years later, he became the "youngest emperor of the sea" alongside Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom!
Of course, this is just the plot development of the original work. No one can say clearly what the future will be like in the era that Lin Zhi traveled through!

Now, the choice Lin Zhi needs to face is whether to take off the head of the bandit king Sig in exchange for money before the red-haired pirates return from their next voyage, or to hide in the dark and observe silently, without revealing the truth.After much hesitation, Lin Zhi finally chose the latter.

In addition to the fact that Sig currently doesn't pose much of a threat to him, he also wants to see with his own eyes whether Shanks, the ridiculously powerful future Yonko, is really "careless" enough to lose an arm in the East China Sea. !
What is his true thoughts after inheriting Roger's will?
In comparison, Signar's 800 million bounty does not seem so important.

Of course, if given the chance, Lin Zhi would definitely not let go of this tempting bounty!

boom!
Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the restaurant was kicked open again.

The person who came was none other than the compact Luffy.

"Lin Zhi, I'm so angry! Shanks and the others dare not fight back because there are so many people on the other side. They are not real pirates at all!"

As soon as he walked in, little Luffy complained about Shanks's faults with a look of displeasure on his face.

He is a child with a very simple mind. He feels that if he is beaten, he must fight back. He is a pirate who truly yearns for freedom and a real man.

Shanks and the pirates' inaction made him very angry and aggrieved, and he ran out of the tavern to complain.

Looking at the tape taped under Luffy's left eye, Lin Zhi's pupils shrank slightly, then he stood up with a smile.

“I think it’s a great thing that you can still laugh calmly after being beaten.”

He poured a glass of juice and brought it to Luffy.

"Thank you."

The angry little Luffy didn't even think about it. He took the juice and drank it in one gulp, and then responded to Lin Zhi:

"Why are you saying the same thing to them? When a man is bullied, he should raise his fist and hit him back hard!"

Hearing this, Aqua, who was sitting in a corner in a daze, nodded and jumped out to express the same point of view.

"I think Luffy is right. Only those who have no confidence in their own strength will use a smile to cover up their inner weakness."

Lin Zhi, who was standing next to her, glanced at her lightly and said in a low voice, "I don't know who was beaten by the bandits but didn't dare to fight back. He hugged his knees and hid in the restaurant crying."

huh?

The righteous goddess blinked her wise eyes and performed her own stunt of changing faces at the speed of light on the spot.

"Luffy, actually what I want to say is that I understand your desire to strike hard, but a real strong man should be informal!"

The main character is a shameless person.

Seeing Luffy's sad face, Aqua smiled, leaned over and patted his little shoulder to comfort him.

The result was such a casual and natural movement, but it frightened Aqua's style of painting to change, and she stepped back with a look of horror on her face.

"Luffy, Luffy, your shoulder, your shoulder fell to the ground!"
