One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

The world of pirates, East China Sea.

A vast blue world, standing on the coast, the endless waves surge forward, they converge into an endless vastness.

The breeze gently blows on the sea, and the waves rise and fall lightly, as if showing people their magnificent dance.

The blue sky hangs high, reflecting the blue sea.

The sun shines through the clouds, forming beams of silver light on the blue sea.

These magnificent and colorful colors are intertwined, shining beautifully in the sun.

The sea, in the unreachable distance, a purple ship reveals its mast, crawling on the water, like a tiger that will attack at any time.

On the surface of the snow-white sail, four windmill blades of different colors, clustered around a black dot, seem to start to turn slowly under the gentle breeze.

"Mr. Yixiao, good morning!"

"Lord Yixiao, would you like to have something to eat?"

"Lord Yixiao..."

The warships of the Windmill Kingdom passed by the ships sailing from the nearby islands. On the ships, whether they were small workers, captains, ordinary people, or wealthy businessmen, they all thanked him from the bottom of their hearts.

Facing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Yixiao smiled and nodded to everyone one by one.

Compared with a few months ago, when people threw food and climbed the warships to thank him, it is now obviously much more civilized.

When he thought of the last time he was hit on the head by a big fish as tall as a person, Yixiao's fat square face showed bitterness.

"Anna, have you noticed that Mr. Yixiao seems to be more popular recently."

"Stupid Carl, if you have the ability to easily solve the huge sea king, you will naturally be popular."

"If you have this time to daydream, you might as well exercise more!"

On the empty deck of the warship, the soldiers on guard had long been accustomed to the quarrels of the two, and still did their job expressionlessly.

"Stop arguing, little guys. It's almost time to start today's training!"

"Mr. Yixiao, wait a minute!!"

Before the two were ready, an invisible gravity appeared and fell on their shoulders.

"Your Majesty, let me train you strictly."

Windmill Kingdom, Adventurer's Tavern.

As the largest tavern in the kingdom, adventurers from all over the world gathered here. They raised their glasses, drank wine happily, and told their stories loudly.

As the glasses collided, orange beer spilled, and laughter echoed in the spacious hall.

"Hey! Uncle, what happened later?"

"What happened later!!"

In the corner of the hall, a silly boy with a straw hat and a scar on his eye kept asking questions.

"You are annoying, go away and don't delay me from looking at the beauties!"

Seeing the hot waitress running over and not seeing what he wanted, the handsome man with white hair clenched his fists and pounded them hard on the table.

"Kid, what on earth do you want to do!"

"Uncle, you haven't finished your story yesterday."

Looking a little embarrassed, the handsome man scratched his face, "Story? What did I tell yesterday?"

Luffy looked at him speechlessly and said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle, you said yesterday that your people were hunted by the evil pigmen."

"Oh, I remember, and don't call me uncle, I'm only 42 years old!!"

Noticing Luffy's expression, the man sighed helplessly, "Let's continue, let's make a promise first, don't come to disturb me watching the game after the story is finished."

"The pigman and his men broke into my home where I have lived for generations, they..."

At this moment, a man rushed in from outside the tavern and said loudly in a voice louder than a loudspeaker: "Hurry to the dock, the kingdom's warship is going to the South China Sea, and is recruiting 5 guards, 100,000 Baileys a day."

As soon as the voice fell, the adventurers who were just friendly suddenly huddled together and ran outside.

The reason why everyone was scrambling for the task was because in the Adventurer's Guild, the rewards for the Kingdom's tasks were famously generous.

Of course, if the rewards were just generous, it would not attract so many people to compete. There are also many tasks with high rewards on the sea.

What is attracting them is the invisible rewards of the Kingdom's tasks. If they perform well in the tasks, they may be selected to join the Windmill Guard or the Kingdom's Navy.

Compared to running around on the sea, how attractive is a stable job in your hometown.

At the front of the tavern door, a handsome man and a long-faced man with a rose tattoo on his left face were not giving in to each other.

"Luo, you must give me a place this time no matter what!"

The long-faced man said with all his strength.

"Stop talking nonsense, Soros, this kind of thing depends on your ability!"

Luo, with a head full of white hair, also used all his strength to squeeze out.

"Boom!"

Under the force of the two, the door of the tavern collapsed directly, but everyone didn't care much and rushed to the port quickly.

At the bar, Xia Li, smoking a lady's cigarette, motioned Heidi to take a break, and wrote down everyone's names on the bill.

"Sister Xia Qi, when will Lord An come back?"

Tapping the newspaper on the table, Xia Qi thought, "It should be soon."

Windmill Kingdom warship port.

Because of the expansion of the scale of the trade fleet and the strength of the Grand Line pirates.

The kingdom is short of strong people, in order to ensure the safety of the fleet, the Windmill Kingdom issued tasks to all adventurers.

Of course, since it is to protect the fleet, the applicants' strength and past bad discipline will be tested.

At the warship port, the quarrel between the two could be heard from afar.

"Colonel Luffy, King Seas has emphasized that you are not allowed to go to sea again."

"What! Uncle Seas, why is he like this? I can kill a sea king."

Thinking of the other party's reputation for going to sea, as the person in charge of this warship, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and made up his mind that he must not let the other party get on his ship.

"Hehe, I don't care, I'm going!"

His arms stretched out quickly, Luffy grabbed the mast of the warship, and his arms began to shrink, falling towards the warship like a swing.

"Colonel Luffy..."

Windmill Kingdom Railway Station.

After sending Kuina back to Shimotsuki Village, An promised to visit Rebecca, who was crying, in a while, and then boarded the sea train to the Windmill Kingdom.

As soon as he got off the train, An immediately used his Observation Haki and began to search for Luffy's breath. The huge Observation Haki swept across, and the strong men in the kingdom were touched.

"Found it!"

Opening his eyes, An disappeared directly on the spot and rushed to the warship port at the back.

At the same time, under the warship, looking at the nonsense Luffy, the person in charge of this warship frowned.

Knowing that he was not Luffy's opponent, the captain reached behind him and said, "Please ask him to come down."

But before everyone could take action, a slender figure suddenly appeared behind Luffy, and then a cold voice sounded.

"Luffy, you seem very happy."
