Pirates: The system is not activated until you are a hundred years old

Chapter 26 Cocoa West Village

"The life I want..." Luffy thought for a moment before replying: "Of course it is to be a pirate! Then find a few partners, conquer the Grand Line, and become the freest man in the world, the Pirate King. !”

"One Piece?" Ron laughed and then asked, "Then do you know what a pirate is?"

"What is a pirate?" Luffy asked curiously.

"If you want to be a pirate, you have to eat big chunks of meat and drink a lot of alcohol." As he said that, Ron looked at Luffy up and down, groped his chin for a while, and said, "Eat big chunks of meat? You can inherit this." I learned your grandfather’s talent, but drank too much..."

Ron shook his head and said: "You are still far behind."

"Ah? To be a pirate, do you still need to know how to drink?" Luffy's little face suddenly felt a little confused.

This was the first time he heard such words, and he didn't quite believe it in his heart.

But then I thought about it, when Shanks and the others were in Windmill Village, they drank and partyed all day long. Even when Ace and Sabo became sworn friends with him, they were drinking very happily.

Thinking of this, Luffy became a little more convinced.

Seeing the hesitation on Luffy's face, Ron straightened his expression and said, "Since you talk about becoming the Pirate King every day, you know Roger, right?"

"Roger?" When he heard the name, Luffy's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "Then you must know that Pirate King Gol D. Roger, Ace's father, my goal is to become a man like him. .”

When talking about Roger, Luffy's face was filled with admiration.

"Then do you know that Roger's drinking capacity is second to none in the sea? He always drinks from such a big wine bowl."

As he spoke, Ron gestured with his hands to create a large bowl with a diameter of 1.5 meters.

Luffy's eyes widened when he saw Ron's gesture.

"So big?!"

"Yes, he is that big. His drinking capacity is even surpassed by your great-grandfather, me and your grandfather Garp."

"Oh, by the way, there's also red-haired Shanks."

"Shanks?" Hearing the name, Luffy cheered up again.

"You've seen Shanks before. He's not bad at drinking, right?"

"Yeah." Luffy couldn't agree more.

"Then do you know that when I first met Shanks, he was still a trainee crew member on Roger's ship. Well, he was almost the same age as when you first met Shanks.

At that time, his drinking capacity was already very high.

I heard that he was able to drink so well because Roger taught him how to drink. "

"Really...really?" After hearing Ron say this, Luffy finally felt shaken again.

But soon, a sad look appeared on his little face again, "But I don't know how to drink at all, what should I do..."

Apart from that time with Ace Sabo, Luffy had never touched alcohol again.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to drink. You can start practicing from now on!"

While speaking, Ron had already handed the wine gourd to Luffy, smiled mysteriously, and said, "How about it, if you want to be a pirate, just take a sip."

Taking the wine gourd handed over by Ron, Luffy looked hesitant.

But remembering what Ron said before, Luffy finally turned his face and uncorked his wine.

"I fought hard to become the Pirate King!"

With a loud shout, Luffy picked up the gourd of wine and took a big gulp.

As the strong drink entered his throat, Luffy's expression changed, and his entire face turned the color of pig liver.

He suddenly took away the wine bottle and squirted all the large gulp of wine he had just poured into his mouth into the sea.

"Cough cough cough!!" "Cough cough cough!!!"

Luffy, whose face and neck were flushed red, coughed crazily.

Seeing Luffy's miserable appearance, Ron, who was gloating about his misfortune, was laughing so hard.

"Hahahahahaha! You kid, how can anyone drink this kind of strong liquor? How can you drink it like this? Hahahaha!"

Amid Ron's laughter, Luffy coughed for a while before he could catch his breath.

But at this moment, his mouth and throat still felt as uncomfortable as burning. In order to relieve the pain, Luffy stuck out his tongue and gasped: "Grandpa, this thing you usually drink is too much." Doesn’t it taste bad? If you want to be a pirate, do you have to learn to drink this?"

"Hahahaha, the way you drink will definitely choke people."

Ron, who succeeded in his conspiracy, laughed and took back the wine gourd. After taking a sip, his old face showed a trace of intoxication.

The alcohol content of his wine was close to 80 degrees. Even with his current body, he did not dare to be so bold.

It would be strange for Luffy to drink in this way without choking.

Seeing that Luffy was still confused, Ron shook his head and said with a smile: "Whether you want to be a pirate or not, what does drinking have to do with it? Grandpa, I was just teasing you, silly boy."

He said so much before just to deceive this boy and let him taste what it feels like to choke on strong alcohol.

It's true that Luffy is a guy, you just believe whatever he says.

"You lied to me?" When Luffy heard this, his little face suddenly became depressed, and his mouth was pouty.

But he seemed to suddenly think of something, and the grievance on his face disappeared instantly, and he even grinned.

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that if I become a pirate, I don't need to learn to drink?"

"You brat, you're too optimistic..." Seeing that Luffy still had the same heartless character, Ron couldn't help but shook his head.

"By the way, Grandpa, when can we get to the Navy Headquarters? The sailing speed of this small boat is too slow. How about we change to a bigger boat so that we can store more food."

Luffy felt frightened when he thought of the time he spent floating on the sea and starving.

Is there anything more terrifying in the world than being hungry?

"You brat, are you taking a big boat? Are you rich, or am I rich?" Ron glared.

Although he retired as a Vice Admiral from the Navy Headquarters, his connections behind him were stronger than anyone else, so his pension was naturally ridiculously high.

But he had nothing to spend on his retirement these years, so naturally he didn't receive his pension for a long time.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said those words to Lilixiang with such an old face.

"Huh? Money? I don't have any either..." Luffy suddenly felt like a deflated ball.

In Windmill Village, he can go hunting in the mountains when he is hungry.

But outside here, it seems that if you don’t have money, you have to go hungry.

And they didn’t seem to bring much food when they came out of Shields Town.

As if he saw what Luffy was thinking, Ron exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Don't worry, the next island will be here soon, and you won't be hungry for so long."

After saying that, Ron looked at the sea ahead.

In that direction, the outline of the island can already be vaguely seen.

If I remember correctly.

There should be the island where Cocoa West Village is located.
