Chapter 727 This is not like you

"A group of bandits came down from the mountains and took over Maginot's hotel!"

Garp returned to Windmill Village. Firstly, he just wanted to return here for the holidays, but also to protect his hometown in this moment of turmoil in the sea.

This is a complaint from a villager.

Bandits?

Among the bandits in Windmill Village, except for bandit king Sige who died in a "battle" with the King of the Sea, Dadan's family is the only one left.

After learning the news of Bai Yun's death, Dadan locked himself in his room for a day, then went down the mountain to Maginot's tavern, where he drank all day.

Maginot persuaded her that it would not be okay to continue drinking like this.

Dadan didn't care and just drank, "Come again! I have money!!"

"That boy Bai Lun left me 100 million Baileys!!"

Following these words, Dadan burst into tears.

"Why...he is obviously the best-behaved one among the four gangsters, why..."

Dadan couldn't stop crying.

Maginot didn't know how to persuade her even if she wanted to. Instead, she was so affected that she even wanted to cry.

However, at this time, someone shouted "Mr. Karp" from outside the house.

Dadan stopped her tears instantly and picked up the wooden stick beside her. She used to run away when she heard the name, but now her eyes were full of resentment and confusion.

Maginot saw what Dadan wanted to do and immediately stopped her, "No, it can't be done!! Ms. Dadan!!"

But her little arms and legs couldn't stop Dadan at all.

Dadan pushed open the wooden door of the tavern, and Garp was right on the opposite side. Without hesitation, he passed by with one blow, "You still have the nerve to come back!!!"

Garp was hit by a stick and fell to the ground. The top-level weapon color instantly broke through the defense and his forehead was bleeding.

Behind both sides were shocked.

Behind Garp are naturally soldiers.

Behind Dadan were everyone in Dadan's family. They couldn't believe that Dadan, who had been afraid of Garp for half his life, dared to hit him this time.

The soldiers were about to raise their guns, but Garp sat up and stopped them, "Don't do it, she is an acquaintance of mine."

Dadan's face was still stained with tears, "Why...why...why didn't you save Bai Yun!"

Dadan knocked Garp down and punched him repeatedly. Tears flowed uncontrollably again and fell on Garp's face.

"You are obviously on that battlefield!!"

"Is family more important than mission?!"

"Why!!"

"How could he be so lucky? How could he...how could he die like this!!"

Dadan cried and hit, and his fists were stained with Garp's blood.

This can't go on like this, so Maginot stopped Dadan.

"That's not right!! Mr. Garp, who is clearly so close, can't save them, that's what makes them really sad!!"

Dadan let go of Garp's collar, "No...no, the saddest ones are Luffy and Ace!!"

(Dadan didn’t know that Sabo was still alive. The newspaper didn’t say that he had gone to the top of the war. When he was a child, Bai Yun and the others only told Dadan that Sabo was gone.)

"How much they two boys liked Bai Boy when they were young!!"

"I see their feelings in my eyes, how do you want the other two boys to accept...how to accept this fact!!!"

Speaking of Luffy and Ace, Maginot, who was standing in the middle, also remembered the time when Bai Yun came to ask her to hold a birthday party for Ace when they were children. The three brothers asked her to learn polite greetings.

Luffy learns a little.

Ace learned most of it.

And Bai Yun...he didn't need to learn, he was a polite child from the beginning.

Thinking back on the past bit by bit, Maginot couldn't help crying and ran back to the tavern.

Dadan looked down at Garp. Garp sat on the ground and looked down at the ground. Dadan understood how difficult it was for Garp to do it, but he still didn't understand the sentence. Is the mission more important than the family?

Seeing this scene, the village chief of Windmill Village came out.

"Mr. Garp, how is Luffy?"

"How about his whereabouts weren't reported in the newspapers?"

Garp looked at the village chief, "Village Chief..."

But just as he was about to speak, an unexpected person came.

"Long time no see, Dadan."

Dadan couldn't believe what he heard, including Garp.

Dadan looked up and saw that the soldiers lined up in rows were separated in the middle. Looking back, he was almost scared to death.

"Fire...Fire Fist Ace!!!"

Some of them fell down in fright, while others raised their spears with good concentration.

Garp didn't look back, as if he didn't dare to face Ace.

The villagers are also afraid of Ace, after all, Ace is a pirate.

But Garp was still there, so they were not so scared that they scattered in all directions, they just retreated a little.

Maginot heard the sound and came out of the tavern again, and saw Ace standing on the road.

Ace is still the same, with the same freckles on his face and a youthful and heroic look, but now, he looks a little more haggard.

Dadan dropped the cigarette in his mouth, "Ai...Ais?"

"Really you?"

"You're back!"

"Where's Luffy?! Did Luffy follow you back?!"

"How are you?"

Dadan had countless questions to ask Ace, but thousands of words turned into one sentence, are you okay?

.......

Ace stood alone on the road, in stark contrast to the large number of people here. With his hands in his pockets, Ace responded to Dadan with a smile.

"I'm alright."

"It's just that you cried, Dadan."

"This is the first time I've seen you cry. Oh no, the second time. The first time was when our four brothers stole your jewelry and sold it when we were children. You cried. Fortunately, I stole it back."

When Ace talked about the past, Dadan couldn't hold back his tears again.

"Okay, Dadan, I have something to tell you when I come back this time. After I finish speaking, I will leave and let's talk in... the tavern."

Ace suggested.

Dadan wiped away his tears with his arm and nodded, "Yeah."

Seeing this, Ace took steps towards the tavern. The soldiers' eyes were fixed on him the whole time.

Ace passed them without caring, but when he got to Garp, he couldn't help but care.

"How long are you going to sit there, Grandpa? That's not like you."

"Can you ask your people to leave? I don't want them to hear our conversation."

"My conversation with Dadan and the others."

Ace's emphasis on this sentence was obviously telling Garp that we didn't have you in our conversation.

Garp stood up, patted the dust off his body, and nodded after seeing that Ace was in good condition.

"How is Luffy, do you know?"

"I do not know."

Ace answered in the affirmative.

"Ah."

Garp didn't say anything, turned around and walked away, taking his soldiers with him, but not leaving the windmill village, but returning to his home.

The villagers quickly followed, no, what is the point of leaving a pirate in the village!

The villagers also left. The village chief looked at Garp and then at Ace. He just sighed and left on crutches.

Ace and the others entered the tavern.
