Chapter 1107! A promising career
……
A man who can take down a powerful-looking strong man with just his eyes. These pirates and bandits have probably never seen such a man, let alone heard of him.
After all, Windmill Village is located in the East China Sea, and there are very few powerful pirates. Even the navy stationed in the East China Sea are mostly just some small fry at the captain level.
Makino was also frightened. She had never expected that the man in front of her, who could be seen at a glance as coming from outside the village, could be so powerful. She couldn't help but cover her slightly open mouth in surprise.
However, she was also somewhat helpless despite her surprise. Looking at the door with a large human-shaped hole knocked out of it, she pursed her lips and muttered, "I just renovated this door the day before yesterday..."
Anyway, this is a pub, a place for drinking, and fights are common, but few people would attack her.
Hearing Makino's slightly complaining voice, Shen Ye smiled at her apologetically, then pointed to the gold coins on the table and said, "Sorry, but I've already paid in advance."
"Don't say sorry, I don't mean to blame you." Makino shook her head gently, then picked up the gold coin. After holding it up and looking at it for a while, she placed it in front of Shen Ye: "It won't cost much to repair the door. You should take it back. It's too much."
Although he already knew that she was kind and beautiful, this action still made Shen Ye stunned again. However, he did not take the gold coin back. Instead, he pushed it in front of Makino: "Then consider it as my payment for the wine."
"That's too much. You just want a glass of beer, so just give me two hundred berries." Makino still didn't accept the gold coin. While speaking, she poured Shen Ye a full glass of beer in an oak glass, and the white hops overflowed.
Gently placing the beer glass in front of Shen Ye, he also pushed the gold coin in front of Shen Ye. Then, Makino extended a hand towards Shen Ye and said with a grin, "Thank you, including the money for repairing the door, the total is 1,200 berries."
One thousand two hundred berries, excluding the money for buying beer, that means Makino only asked for one thousand berries for repairing the door. In the world of One Piece, buying a newspaper costs one hundred berries, so one thousand berries for repairing the door can be said to be as low as it can be.
Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, Shen Ye sighed in his heart. No wonder she could influence the lives of Luffy, Ace, and Sabo. Her personality was simply too good.
So, he had no choice but to put the gold coins away, then took out the 1,200 berries he had just exchanged and placed them in Makino's hand: "Thank you very much for your care, ma'am."
"It's not really a favor, it's just that you seem very friendly, sir." Makino took the money with a smile. It seemed that she would only accept money that she earned through legitimate means.
Then she leaned on the counter, looked at Shen Ye who was drinking beer, and asked: "How does it taste?"
"It tastes very good." Shen Ye finished the beer in the oak glass in one breath and said after letting out a long sigh.
"Of course, I brewed this myself." Makino said with a smile. She could tell that Shen Ye was not lying, and the wine in the glass had been finished.
So she asked again: "Would you like another drink?"
"Of course." Shen Ye nodded.
Soon, Makino placed another full glass of beer in front of Shen Ye and introduced herself: "By the way, my name is Makino, and I'm the proprietress of this tavern. What about you?"
"Shen Ye, a traveler from afar."
"Shen Ye...that's strange...no, no, it should be said that it's a rare name." Makino realized that he might have said something wrong and quickly corrected himself. Then he asked curiously: "Far away, how far away is it?"
"It's very far, a distance that most people can't reach in their lifetime." Shen Ye said in an exaggerated tone.
"Is that so..." Makino nodded in confusion. She couldn't imagine how far Shen Ye meant by "very far". After all, she had basically never left Windmill Village since she was born.
But she was not a sentimental woman. She had a cheerful personality and a smile soon appeared on her face again.
She was lying on the bar, holding her cheeks with both hands, and asked curiously: "You are so powerful and have a very friendly personality. Are you a navy?"
But after she said this, the atmosphere in the entire tavern suddenly became quiet. The pirates and bandits who were originally shocked by Shen Ye's strength looked at Shen Ye one by one, as if as long as Shen Ye nodded in agreement, they would... run away immediately.
However, Shen Ye's subsequent answer made them breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm not a Marine."
"So those are pirates?" Makino asked curiously again.
Perhaps influenced by Shanks, Ace, Luffy and others, Makino doesn't seem to be afraid of pirates.
After all, both Luffy and Ace have been clamoring to become pirates when they grow up since they were young.
Her tavern often receives pirates and bandits, so in her opinion, navy and pirates are nothing more than two different professions.
At this time, Shen Ye replied: "I am not a pirate either."
Before Makino could say anything, he continued, "But... I'm quite interested in the profession of pirate. After all, it's a very promising profession, so if possible, I'd like to go out to sea and try it out."
To be honest, Shen Ye can go out to sea alone, but to be honest, he has a good impression of Luffy. Moreover, with Luffy's personality, it will definitely be very fun to go out to sea with him.
Of course, Shen Ye had no intention of staying on the same ship with Luffy forever. When the time was right, he would leave the team and act alone.
Anyway, everything is according to his own ideas.
"You want to go out to sea too..." After listening to Shen Ye's words, Makino raised his eyebrows slightly, and then muttered softly: "Go out to sea, go to sea, everyone always says they want to go to sea, what on earth is there on the ocean that is so attractive to everyone!"
But after mumbling for a while, she said to Shen Ye very seriously: "I have a younger brother who shouts every day that he wants to become the Pirate King. If possible, you two can travel together in the future."
When she said this, Makino's face suddenly turned red. After all, she said this with a little selfishness. Although she didn't know how strong Shen Ye was, she thought he should be strong. So she hoped that if Shen Ye really went out to sea, she could go with Luffy and take care of him.
So, as if to make herself feel better, she poured Shen Ye another glass of beer, and then smiled at him embarrassedly: "That... this glass... No, no, no, from now on, you and I don't have to pay for drinks at my place!"
