Chapter 774

This little kid in front of me…

He really comes from a prestigious family!

Those three individuals above—each one is a terrifying presence on the Grand Line!

Even the five-year-old Fist Demon Lu En, as Little Lufei's older brother, is likewise a top-tier terrifying powerhouse on the Grand Line, possessing an extremely illustrious reputation.

What about Dragon of the Revolutionary Army?

Hero Captain Kapu?

These two need no further explanation.

This family…

Right now, only Little Lufei is an unknown.

He has no fame whatsoever on this sea.

Little Lufei, with such a prestigious identity, has a background and backing that is simply unimaginably terrifying.

"You… are that person?"

"The person I've been searching for all along…"

Red-Haired fell into thought.

So far,

he still cannot make an accurate judgment.

Is the Little Lufei before him truly the person he has been seeking?

"The task the Captain entrusted to me…"

Red-Haired's eyes glazed over, sinking into deep memory.

No one noticed Red-Haired's unusual change.

At this moment,

Little Lufei's dark, round eyes stared curiously at the countless drinks on the table, and he puzzledly asked the bartender Machino: "Machino sister, what are they drinking?"

Upon hearing this,

Machino let out a light laugh, as gentle as always.

She answered: "It's alcohol."

"Alcohol? Is it tasty?"

Little Lufei's eyes lit up and asked again.

"Little Lufei, you're not old enough—you can't drink alcohol."

Machino gently patted Little Lufei's head, teaching him with a kind expression.

"Why?"

Little Lufei tilted his head, utterly confused.

"Because…"

"Only adults are allowed to drink alcohol."

"Otherwise, it will cause irreversible damage to your body."

Machino was extremely patient.

Always,

she gave Little Lufei the feeling of a mother.

Gentle as water,

she had never once lost her temper.

Naturally, Little Lufei felt very close to Machino.

After all,

Machino raised Lu En from childhood—she was essentially Little Lufei's mother!

Though nominally his sister, in reality, Little Lufei's dependence on her was just like that of a child on his mother.

"I want to drink too."

Little Lufei said.

"No, I'll only give you a glass of juice."

Machino handed him a glass of juice.

"Hmph, stingy."

Little Lufei grumbled.

Suddenly,

he spotted a cup of brown liquor on the nearby table.

Instantly,

he snatched the cup with his small hand in a flash.

He took a small sip.

Glurp!

He swallowed it whole,

the bitter taste made Little Lufei scream loudly, frantically spitting out the liquor, his little face scrunched up like he'd eaten a bitter melon.

"So bitter!"

"This is alcohol?"

Little Lufei, looking pitiful, quickly picked up the juice and drank it down.

Seeing this,

Makino's smile didn't fade.

She had already guessed it.

The lively, active Little Lufei wouldn't be content to sit still.

Sure enough.

Little Lufei's curiosity was simply too strong.

After taking a sip of the alcohol,

the other party would probably never touch liquor lightly again.

Beside them,

upon seeing Lufei's predicament, even Red-Hair couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Kid, want to drink? Wait till you've grown up."

"For now, just behave yourself and drink your juice."

Red-Hair spoke up.

"Who are you?"

Lufei looked at Red-Hair with some curiosity, his eyes blinking, utterly innocent.

"Me?"

"I'm Makino's good friend."

"I'm called Shanks. And you?"

Red-Hair answered with a smile.

"Shanks? I'm called Lufei!"

Lufei seemed very happy.

He and Red-Hair unexpectedly hit it off.

Although the two were far apart in age,

what Red-Hair said made Lufei extremely excited.

Especially...

upon learning from Makino

that the red-haired man before him, Shanks, had returned to East Blue's Windmill Village from the outside sea, Lufei grew even more curious about this man.

"What does the outside sea look like?"

"Do fish really exist that are as huge as a mountain?"

Lufei's eyes sparkled, his gaze filled with longing and yearning.
