Raise a glass to ignite the world of One Piece

Hancock stared blankly at the man he met for the first time today.

The sea breeze that still exudes the mellow aroma of wine blows her long hair like the night.

The fluttering hair was like the girl's chaotic heart, and she even forgot to cover up the slight redness on her face.

Wayne was taken aback for a moment, then immediately moved his eyes away, and took a deep breath of the cold wind.

The current Hancock is too dangerous.

"cough!"

With a light cough, Wayne bit the bullet and broke the increasingly weird atmosphere:

"Your Highness Hancock, let's not talk about such a heavy matter——

"In short, I am no longer a navy, and although I will not be a pirate, I still have some ideals."

He watched Hancock put on a calm expression in a panic as if he had just woken up from a dream. He wanted to laugh, but stopped quickly:

"Now the world thinks I'm dead, please keep it a secret for me."

"...Just call me by my name."

Hancock didn't agree to Wayne immediately, she hesitated for a moment, and asked again:

"Since you are no longer in the navy, Wayne, and you don't want to be a pirate, what is your attitude towards the current pirates and the navy?"

She seemed to be very concerned about Wayne's answer, and she couldn't help clenching her fair hands.

"Attitude?"

Wayne stroked his chin and thought about it.

Speaking of which, during this period of time he has been busy fleeing, or looking for a way to the windless belt.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, except for Kuzan who came to hunt him down, and the current Nine Snake Pirates...

He has never seen a single navy or pirate.

It is time to face up to this issue.

"The basic principle is 'if people don't offend me, I won't offend others'."

Wayne spoke softly, slowly expressing the vague thoughts in his heart:

"Although the navy serves the world government and the Tianlong people, most of the navy joins it only because they yearn for justice.

"In this department, I know very well that although often under the pressure of the world government and the Tianlong people, the navy will do some things against its will.

"But there are still a large number of people at the top who are trying to practice their own justice.

"At the local level, although the alliance countries that pay the 'gold from the sky' will be protected by the navy, no matter what, they do protect many civilians."

He pointed to his head:

"I've been thinking about it for ten years in the Navy, and the Navy, as an organization, is just a knife.

"To maintain order, a sword is essential, but the person holding the sword is the fundamental decision of where and how to cut."

"As for the pirates..."

Wayne looked back at the female fighters of the Nine Snake Pirates who had almost moved supplies.

Well, and the weird-looking William, Carl, Sandersonia and Marigold.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his head calmly.

"In the past ten years, I have also seen countless pirates, and the reasons why they become pirates are also varied.

"But no matter what, hoisting the skull flag and going out to sea to become pirates has caused damage to civilians.

"Even if they don't directly harm civilians, as their fame grows and followers increase, pirates still bring fear to the world."

This is not a comic book, Wayne experienced it personally, saw it with his own eyes, and it is unforgettable.

"But in the New World, the pirate known as the 'Emperor of the Sea' still protects many islands," Hancock said a little unconvinced.

She slightly flicked her long black hair, and finally regained some "Pirate Empress" momentum:

"Even if I am a concubine, I still protect my country!"

"That's why I said that justice changes with changing positions and circumstances."

Wayne didn't deny Hancock's words:

"I'm not even a formal merchant now,

It is natural to look at the problem from the standpoint of the common people.

"At the same time, civilians are the foundation of everything, regardless of the navy or pirates, most of them were originally civilians—

"Hancock, you guard the country, so what is the country?"

He looked into Hancock's eyes:

"Without the people, is an empty Nine Snake Island the country you want to protect?"

"..."

Hancock opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't refute Wayne's words.

Wayne shook his head slightly, knowing Hancock would understand.

"From the perspective of the world, I, who used to be a navy, naturally know how much damage pirates have caused to the foundation of the world - civilians."

He looked at the pensive Hancock, thought for a while, and said seriously:

"In order to realize my ideal, I need to distinguish who is my friend and who is my enemy——

"And this is not simply judged by what he has done, but by the purpose of his doing so.

"So, for pirates, if they are my friends, I will treat them with fine wine.

"If it is my enemy, I will definitely not stop killing people just because I don't want to be a navy."

"..."

Hancock was silent for a moment, and finally showed a shockingly beautiful smile.

"Then, the concubine will keep your affairs a secret, but are you going to keep silent like this?"

She tilted her head, and looked at Wayne from the perspective of Pirate Queen and Qiwuhai:

"Businessman? Is this the path you choose for yourself in the future?"

"What will happen in the future... who can say for sure?"

Wayne laughed and stopped talking about this topic:

"Hancock, thank you for keeping it secret for me. As a thank you, I have a gift for you."

"Ah, gift, gift..."

Hancock was taken aback and seemed a little flustered.

"what gift?"

"Uh, it's a special kind of wine that I developed, but..."

Wayne scratched his head in distress:

"Do you have any empty barrels there?"

"..."

Although it seemed a lot of disrespect to the lady, Wayne could only choose to use a wooden barrel to store the wine he was going to give to Hancock.

Fortunately, the mellow wine itself made up for the lack of the container.

"What kind of wine is this?"

Hancock led Sandersonia and Marigold to look curiously at the beautiful crimson liquid in the barrel.

"Frankly speaking, I don't like drinking very much."

In front of the members of the Pirates, she regained her cold and arrogant empress status.

"My lord, this seems to be a special kind of red wine made from grapes."

Sandersonia spat out the snake letter, somewhat disapproving:

"However, if it goes with my sister's favorite hot pot, our Jiu Snake Island specialty baijiu is the most suitable!"

"Liquor?!"

When Wayne heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly.

That's the case, no wonder he has never heard of the existence of baijiu.

In this world, is this a specialty of Kusnake Island?

No wonder this wine has not spread.

It's no wonder they have such a good hangover medicine!

"Have you brought this wine?"

The three Hancock sisters were taken aback for a moment, then remembered Wayne's ability.

"No."

The exaggerated Marigold shook her head:

"In fact, before we sailed this time, my sis had ordered no drinking for three months."

Then, her and Sandersonia's strange eyes drifted to the speechless William and Carl.

The two of them already knew what was going on.

"It's a pity... let's talk about it later when I have a chance."

Wayne glanced at the four large sea kings who were still turning their bellies on the sea:

"You better sail before they wake up.

"This is my special wine, which has very good beauty and skin care and the ability to remove scars!"

Wayne patted William and Karl, whose skin was white, delicate and shiny, which women had been curious about for a long time, full of confidence:

"The two of them soaked in the red wine bath for a month, look at this skin, tsk tsk..."

In the eyes of the three Hancock sisters, an astonishing look burst out!
