Chapter 153: This pot is black and bright

Shanks fell silent after hearing William's words, the red-haired pirates had either actively or passively heard many of William's deeds, and knew that William had risen to power by killing his own captain.

Shanks is not really a fool, he understands what William means by saying this, it is a refusal, and it is also to show that he is not a willing person.

When Shanks returned to his companion from the second floor, his companions asked what the outcome was.

"Rejected?" asked Ben Beckman, as expected.

"I was unceremoniously rebuffed. Shanks slumped back in his chair and laughed to himself.

His companion not only did not say anything comforting, but laughed gloatingly.

"How?" asked Ben Beckman.

Shanks knew that he was asking about his perception after meeting William, and after thinking about it, he said meaningfully: "I think there are about to appear like pirates in the East China Sea again." ”

The fat man Ruchi Lu, who had been eating Hesse with a stuffy head, didn't react, and asked suspiciously, "Is it Luffy?"

Shanks was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table and laughed, "Including Luffy, of course!"

……

When William and his party were about to leave after dinner, Shanks and the others were still drinking in the tavern, and a group of people were obviously drunk, and when they went downstairs, Shanks waved his hand to William and said hello.

Seeing this, William smiled slightly, and said to the tavern owner who came to greet him, "Put the accounts of those two tables of drinkers on me." ”

The boss looked at the pile of empty wine barrels stacked next to the wine table of Shanks and the others, and nodded.

The next morning, when William was about to go to the shipyard, he found Shanks and the others supporting each other, and the group of people looked haggard and looked like they had not woken up from a hangover.

"Are you leaving?" asked William as he walked over to Shanks.

"Yes," Shanks yawned, barely relieving himself, "and we're going to sail further north." ”

"To the north, the Great Voyage?" William saw Shanks nodding, and pointed to the crooked red-haired pirate crew, "Why don't you stay any longer?"

"We've been in the East China Sea for too long," the redhead shrugged, "and it's time for a new adventure." ”

"What about your boat? It doesn't seem like you're going in the direction of the docks. ”

Shanks gestured to Ben Beckman, who was holding his two drunken companions, "My co-captain advised me not to sail directly to this village, so our ship is in the village of Frostmoon next door. ”

William looked at Ben Beckman, who had a cigarette in his mouth and nodded to him.

In fact, William had actually ordered someone to investigate Shanks and the others last night, and he had already known that their ship was parked in Frostmoon Village, and he was just asking knowingly at this time.

William thought for a moment, then turned back to one of the crew members who followed, and ordered, "You go to the dock in Frostmoon Village with them in a while, and tell the people who stay there to waive their supply costs." ”

Shanks had been listening quietly, and when he saw that William said that he would waive the supply fee for them, he did not refuse, and said with a smile: "We have drunk together, even if we are friends, since it is the kindness of friends, I will not refuse, if we have the opportunity to meet again next time, it will be my turn to invite you to drink." ”

William smiled: "There will be a chance." ”

Shanks is a free and easy person, and William is also a realistic and mature character, the two simply said goodbye neatly, as for the future, they can only meet again.

Edmund was still angry about Shanks's solicitation, he felt it was an insult, and looked at the back of the red-haired pirates leaving, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you so polite to them?"

"Their captain is an interesting man, and a man of great strength," William smiled absently, "and besides, they are going on a great voyage, and they have no conflict with us." ”

Edmund muttered a few words and stopped talking.

After the group arrived at the shipyard, William cordially met with the leaders and shipwrights in the factory, and found time to show his amiability and make some instructions.

William was discussing with the shipwrights about further modifications to the clippers in the factory when the phone bug in his arms suddenly rang.

When he left the conference room and answered the phone, Ah Jin's voice immediately came from the phone: "William, there is news from the headquarters, and the mouse has successfully taken over as the commander of the 16th Division Base." ”

"Good news, what about Jep?" asked William.

"Zhep's bounty has increased by fifteen million Bailey. Ah Jin said.

……

A small town near the entrance to the Great Passage.

Clayswain Charles, the sailor of the Chef Pirates, took two crew members around the bazaar.

"Doesn't it feel like the Great Voyage is as terrifying as the legend suggests?" said one of the pirates, looking at the bustling surroundings.

"I don't know who kept shouting 'this time it's a dead deal,'" Challus pouted, "and broke the captain's kitchenware, and how can we eat the captain's cooking without a pot?"

There are two intersections between the Red Earth Continent and the Great Shipping Route, one of which is the Holy Land of Mary Joy, and the other is the Upside-Down Mountain, where the geographical environment is strange even for the natives of this world, the four seas, each sea has a waterway, to the top of the mountain, yes, it is the top of the mountain, and then the four waterways converge to enter the Great Route.

When the Chef Pirates first came to Upside Down Mountain and ran down the waterway like a roller coaster to the top of the mountain, many of them were terrified, and because of the bumps and inexperience, the boats were even damaged, and many tools were damaged or even lost.

Challus kept counting his companions, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a shop selling kitchen utensils, and his face was happy, and he hurriedly ran over.

……

In a private harbor in the town, Jepp was leaning on the guard of his ship, flipping through the newspaper, when a bounty slip suddenly fell through the cracks.

Zhepu caught it quickly, but when he saw the contents of the bounty list, he was suddenly stunned.

The photo on the bounty list was familiar to Jepp, it was himself, but the amount of the bounty below changed, and suddenly it surged by fifteen million Bailey.

He hurriedly flipped through the newspaper and finally found news related to him on one of the pages.

When he saw the line "Colonel Roy, the commander of the 16th Division of the Navy, was martyred, and the pirate Zhepu absconded in fear of crime", Zhepu was confused.

"Captain, Captain!" came a distant shout, and Charles cried excitedly as he trotted over a cauldron, "I've been picking this new pot for a long time, it's black and bright, and with it you can cook again......!" ”

As soon as the excited Charles finished shouting, he saw a foreign object falling from the sky, which hit him on the head, and he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

The two companions who followed him were startled, and Jepp was also startled, and he rolled over and jumped from the boat, and when he fell to the ground, he ran to Challus.

When he arrived, the two pirates who were following him had already picked up the culprit and gathered it together, and it turned out to be a broken peach.

The terrain around the private harbor was flat, and there were no high-rise buildings at all, so Zhepu looked at the broken peach that could vaguely be bitten by someone, and then looked at the unlucky ghost Charles lying on the ground, and finally looked up at the sky with a blank expression.
