“us…Really free?!”

The white-haired mayor burst into tears with an expression of disbelief.

After a long time, he finally recovered and accepted the reality.

Then, he sent people to the mountains to report to other people in the town. The residents conveyed this exciting good news, and at the same time he himself introduced Luffy and others into the town, intending to entertain them well.

An hour later, the square in the middle of the town was filled with people.

Everyone wanted to reach their heads. Let’s see with our own eyes whether Aaron was really beheaded as the village chief said.

And Johnny had seen a lot of such scenes. He skillfully found the flagpole and hung Aaron’s head up, letting everyone Everybody can see

“It’s Aaron!”

“Yes, it’s him! Even if you beat me to death, I will never forget it!”

“Hahaha! Father, Aaron is dead! Your revenge is finally avenged!”…

The villagers looked at the fish-man head hanging on the flagpole with various emotions.

The suffering and hatred of the past few years finally came to an end at this moment.

After cheering and joy, everyone finally turned their attention to Luffy and others.

Some of the excited ones even rushed to Luffy and knelt down directly in front of him, kowtowing to him, saying that he wanted Luffy to avenge him, and his life would be Luffy’s from now on.

Luffy had never seen such a scene before, so he could only reach out to help.

But as this man knelt down, more and more villagers around him also knelt down.

It seems that for them, kneeling is the greatest respect for Luffy.

But it’s understandable. They are just ordinary people, so what can they do in return? It’s nothing more than simple meals and one’s own dignity.

In their eyes, kowtow is the best way to express their gratitude.

“Carl~~”

Luffy was in trouble and could only look to Carl for help.

Karl understood what he meant, and immediately walked over, helped up the man who took the lead in kneeling, then looked around and said loudly:

“Aaron uses cruelty and strength to force you to kneel down, but the Straw Hat Pirates want you to stand up and be reborn in freedom!”

“From now on, you don’t have to kneel to anyone anymore! You, live only for yourself!”

Under Carl’s call, everyone finally understood what they meant and began to stand up in scattered pieces.

Seeing this scene, Luffy also planned to take people away.

They had already had enough banquets and so on. , you can’t hold a banquet every time you go to a village, right?

The following carnival belongs to all the residents of Fallen Leaf Town.

And Luffy and the others still have to pack their bags and move on.

To Rogge Town.

To the Grand Line.

Go. Let more people like Cocoyasi Village and Luoye Town hold celebration banquets without any scruples like them.

Under everyone’s gaze, the Straw Hats and their group slowly left.

Until they reached the entrance of the village, a young child’s voice Then he suddenly stopped Luffy’s movements.

“Big brother, from now on, I will become a pirate like you!”

Luffy stopped and looked back, but he was just a little boy of six or seven years old, being held tightly in his arms by his mother who was half squatting on the ground.

“What did you say?”Luffy walked over, knelt down, and looked at him curiously.

“I said, I will become a pirate as powerful as my big brother in the future!”The little boy said proudly.

Hearing the little boy’s words, Luffy was in a trance.

At this moment, he finally understood what Carl had said to him before.

“If some people choose to go to sea because they heard about your deeds….”

Luffy suddenly discovered that at some point, he had become someone like Shanks!

Looking at the serious-looking little boy in front of him, Luffy was suddenly speechless and didn’t know what to say.

Because not long ago, they were still ruled by Aaron, who was a pirate. They hated Aaron, and they also hated pirates.

But now, he has defeated Aaron, so his identity as a pirate seems to have become acceptable, and has even become a child’s dream.

Child, what does he know? Maybe for him, the only impact of Aaron’s death on him is that there might be one or two more meat dishes on his dinner table tonight.

Pirate! Pirates!

These two words seem to have magic power.

Luffy didn’t know whether the six- or seven-year-old kid in front of him would become the next Aaron when he went to sea, or become the Aaron who defeated the next pirate, or neither.

He doesn’t know, and he can’t think that far ahead

“Carl, please, please help me get my clothes.”

Luffy suddenly said

“OK”

Karl nodded, without asking any more questions, and walked towards the dock. When he came back again, he had a navy cloak in his hand.

It was the one Garp gave to Luffy at that time.

Karl seemed like Like a little secretary, he put his coat on Luffy.

Luffy said to the boy:

“It doesn’t matter who you become!”

“As long as you are worthy of your own heart!”

“Whether it’s a pirate, a navy, a bounty hunter, or just an ordinary person”

“As long as you are worthy of your own heart, it will be fine!”

“Your own heart? what is that?!”The little boy asked puzzledly

“You have to ask yourself this!”Luffy smiled and stretched out his finger, tapping his heart.

“Ask myself? I want to be a pirate like my big brother!”The little boy waved his fist, looking soft and cute.

“Hahaha! Then come on!”

Luffy then pulled off his neck, pulled off the still-warm necklace that Carl gave him, and put it in the little boy’s hand. Then he stood up and rubbed the boy’s little head:

“My name is Monkey·D·Luffy is the man who wants to become the Pirate King!”

“Come chase me if you want!”

After saying that, Luffy turned and left. The cloak embroidered with the word justice behind him also rustled in the wind.

What was shouting in the wind?

It was justice!

This scene left an indelible impression on the little boy’s heart.

“Look, everyone, the flag has changed!”

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted. Everyone heard the sound and looked around. Sure enough, they found that the pirate ship was far away. The original pirate flag had disappeared, replaced by a silhouette of a human head. From a distance, it looked like that Seems to be a smiling boy wearing a straw hat.
