"It's not dangerous to go to Elegia, so let's take this brat with us for now. Anyway, we are going to wander around the East China Sea for a few years, so it won't be a big problem."
Shanks took care of Luffy's problem.
He joked to the pirates again: "Hey guys, now we have a trump card. We won't be afraid when we encounter Garp's dog-headed ship!"
"Oh oh oh oh~"
The pirates let out a war cry.
Luffy was completely intoxicated with the pirate's delicacies.
Chicken legs thicker than an arm, fresh fish soup as big as a basin, and unknown seasonings mixed with the soup whetted Luffy's appetite. He finished two bowls of rice in a row and couldn't move anymore.
"Damn, it's so delicious!"
Luffy looked at the huge tail meat on the dining table unwillingly.
That was probably the tail meat of an unknown underwater monster, and Luffy was no longer happy to accept it.
Should I eat rubber fruits in the future?
Damn it, if you eat the rubber fruit, you can eat all these things without any scruples!
"Are you full after eating so much? He is indeed a little devil!"
The pirates laughed at Luffy, and Uta gracefully wiped his mouth with a light pink handkerchief.
"I'm stuffed."
"Uta, let Luffy choose an empty room." Shanks said.
"I still have to go to a nearby island to buy some clothes."
Shanks looked at Luffy's dirty shirt and jeans and was speechless, "How did that guy Garp bring up a brat..."
Shanks felt that in terms of raising children, he had already surpassed the naval hero by a lot.
Shanks's ship is quite big, but this ship is just a relatively old wooden ship and not impressive enough.
Luffy speculated that Shanks would get another ship matching his status when he became the Fourth Queen.
The room Uta arranged for Luffy was next to his. There were some adult clothes in the room, which were much newer than what Luffy wore, but they didn't fit well enough.
"Luffy, you wear these first, take off this one and throw it away!"
Uta commanded Luffy with the new clothes.
At the same time, take out the scissors and shorten the clothes.
"It stinks so bad. It's hard to imagine that you were lying on my bed like this last night!"
Uta pinched her nose, looking disgusted.
"That's right, I also want to take a bath, Uta, where is the bathing place?"
…
After a fuss, Luffy had cleaned himself up and was happily doing his own exercises on the boat.
Since we were on Shanks' ship, of course we had to ask these already awesome pirates for advice.
He happily ran around the boat and saw Beckman doing nothing.
The vice-captain of the red-haired pirates is a person with forbidden fruit abilities. His greatest achievement is to make Admiral Kizaru raise his hands high and remain motionless.
This is a big guy who plays with guns.
Luffy ran forward.
Beckmann was a gentlemanly man with a flintlock-like weapon hanging from his belt.
"Beckman, I'm a little confused as to what kind of weapon is the best."
"Is it a cold weapon or a weapon like a gun?"
Luffy asked, pointing to the gun on Beckman's waist.
From what Luffy thought about, he thought it should be a cold weapon like a sword.
After all, there is the world's best swordsman, but I have never heard of the world's best gunslinger.
The status of firearms in One Piece is really awkward.
The appearance rate is extremely high and the record is extremely low.
The dignity of firearms can only be maintained by talents like Beckman.
"Why do you care about this, little devil?"
Beckman has a very friendly attitude towards children. In the original work, he was also very close to little Luffy, and even prepared to avenge Luffy when he was beaten by a bandit.
"I'm seven years old. It's time to choose a weapon. I just want something cool."
Luffy said.
"Needless to say, the sword must be my choice. The name Swordsman is so handsome!"
One of the pirates said in a tone that I understand, patting Luffy on the shoulder.
A sword hung from his waist.
"No, no, in terms of handsomeness, the musket is the best, and it is much easier to get started. It is suitable for a brat like Luffy."
Said a pirate with a gun hanging on his waist.
"What did you say?"
Just like the argument between the sweet party and the salty party, Luffy inadvertently triggered a dispute between the gun party and the sword party.
Men are so boring, they like to discuss combat power, and they often get red-faced when arguing about this issue.
"Let's duel!"
"Who is afraid of whom?"
They pulled out the weapons at their waists and prepared to fight from words to fight offline.
The group of people quickly struggled with each other. Beckman, the deputy captain, took out a cigar and hung it on his mouth. He touched the lighter on his waist but did not take it out in the end.
"For beginners who want to cause damage quickly, my suggestion is a musket."
"After all, there are too many people practicing swordsmanship, and the results are slow. It takes a long time for a swordsman to practice flying slashes. We will start with flying slashes."
There is no doubt that Beckman is a gun gangster.
He also has his own opinions on the current sluggish performance of muskets: "The future will definitely be dominated by muskets. It's a pity that those who play with muskets rely too much on their weapons and forget about their own training. This also makes swordsmen often stronger than thugs holding muskets." son."
"Weapons are just weapons after all, and a person's own strength is also important." He said to Luffy earnestly.
The basic lethality of the musket is indeed higher than that of the swordsman, but the sluggish record of the musket makes Luffy wonder if this guy is deliberately misleading him.
Play with guns or swords?
Luffy also fell into thinking.
He thought about his overlord look again, and sure enough, in terms of weapon selection in the early stage, it was better to play with guns.
All you need to do is activate the overlord color to stun the enemy, then use the gun to harvest from a distance, and then switch to a melee weapon later.
As long as he is strong enough, it doesn't matter what weapon he uses. Garp can conquer the world with his fists.
"Beckman, teach me how to masturbate!" Luffy had some concerns in mind and looked at Beckman with an appraising look.
A happy smile appeared on the gun gangster's face.
As for Garp's grandson, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself on the road of musketry.
"Come with me, kid, and I'll show you my shooting room!"
He enthusiastically picked up Luffy and took him into a cabin.
A large number of bullets and pistols were lying around.
Beckman randomly picked up a pistol and threw it to Luffy, "Try this guy. Let's start by understanding the structure of the weapon."
The round black bullet was loaded.
Luffy was a little excited.
Men love combat and are fascinated by these weapons that destroy everything.
Touching the weapon, Luffy felt that his martial virtue was reviving.
Ah ~ I really want to release my overlord color...
He aimed at the target in front of him, visually estimated that it was about twenty meters away, and fired without hesitation.
Three consecutive shots missed.
Luffy got used to the minimal recoil of the pistol.
People in the pirate world are very powerful.
In the original book, Luffy was able to fight a gorilla at the age of seven, but he could not defeat an adult bandit.
In the Alabasta chapter, pirates can cut off tall houses or lift wooden structures with their bare hands.
Luffy estimated that his arm strength could be measured in tons, and the recoil of a mere flintlock gun was almost nonexistent.
