Chapter 168: Hades King Reilly
In a tavern in the Chambord Islands on the Great Voyage, two men who had the world government and navy on their backs were gathering to drink and chat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
These two men, one is the former deputy captain of One Piece Roger, known as the "Hades", and the other is also a crew member on One Piece Roger's ship, and now the world-famous sea pirate, "Redhead" Shanks.
"Great Voyage, so many pirates and navies, it is difficult to hurt you in the slightest," Reilly looked at the sleeve of Shanks' left arm, "I didn't expect you to lose even an arm after just going to the East China Sea." ”
Shanks was slightly stunned, then smiled and touched his left arm: "I'm just like Captain Roger, I paid a little price for the next era." ”
"'A little price'...... "What do you think of the next era, in the East China Sea?" asked Reilly.
"yes, can you believe it? There was a little imp in the East China Sea who said exactly the same thing as Captain Roger, and I was really surprised," Shanks said with some excitement as he talked about Luffy, "I believe he will definitely become a great sea thief, so along with the captain's straw hat and this arm, I pressed on him." ”
Shanks tells Reilly about what happened during the year he parked in Tokai Windmill Village, especially the little things he communicated with Luffy.
After hearing what he said, Reilly learned Roger's tone with some melancholy after a glass of wine, and angrily said that he wanted to catch the big fish that bit off Shanks's left arm and roast it.
When Reilly finished imitating, he and Shanks both laughed in unison.
"Captains are always like that," said Shanks with a smile, "and if there is an idea that arises in his mind, he will complete it with perseverance, sometimes regardless of the consequences." ”
Reilly's drinking movement paused slightly, looked at Shanks who was unpredictable, and listened to Shanks continue: "Since Captain Roger's death, I have been traveling all over the world, and few people know better than me what Captain Roger's words brought to this world. ”
"What did you bring?"
"The heroes who have swarmed, and countless scum," Shanks took a sip of wine, "Captain Roger did nothing wrong, he opened the door to a new era before he died, but the price was a bit heavy, not only took Captain Roger's life, but also the stable life of countless ordinary people, along the way, I don't know how many I personally defeated because of Captain Roger's words, and the scum who ran from land to sea, I have heard of countless counts." ”
Reilly grinned, "Are there just some scum who are not worth mentioning?"
Shanks heard this and said: "Not really, I met a very interesting pirate in the East China Sea, he expelled other evil pirates in his power, protected the lives and work of civilians in the territory, and even helped them rebuild their homes, it was in him that I saw something different from other pirates." ”
"Interesting man, you should invite him aboard. Reilly said,
"I invited, but was unceremoniously declined. ”
Shanks laughed bitterly, and Reilly burst out laughing.
"After so many years in the era of the sea pirates, the situation is no longer as chaotic as it was at the beginning, and it has gradually stabilized, and the people of the previous era, such as Captain Roger, are responsible for sowing the seeds, and what our generation should do, I think, should be to protect those seedlings that are beginning to grow strongly, and stop losses in time, and when the people of the next era grow up, they will not be left with a dilapidated world. ”
"Stop loss?"
"Because enough people have ruined their lives and even died in the era of pirates," Shanks said in a deep voice, "This world, our generation, has a responsibility to prevent it from continuing to deteriorate." ”
"Shanks," Reilly looked at Shanks for a moment, exhaled, and then clinked glasses with Shanks, "Roger really didn't misunderstand you, you have now become a man as great as he is." ”
For a character like Reilly, his criteria for judging sea pirates, in addition to strength, the most important thing is to have a mind to look at the world.
In this world with Devil Fruits, any cat or dog can gain great strength by eating a natural Devil Fruit, but if they can really become a person who can influence or even change an era, they all have a big picture in their hearts.
Reilly took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Shanks: "What is the name of that pirate you are talking about?"
"Luffy?"
Reilly smiled, "It's not that little ghost. ”
"William. ”
Reilly said: "It seems that what he did had a big impact on you. ”
"I see another possibility in him, and pirates don't have to bring only destruction and chaos. Shanks graciously admitted.
"I don't know if I'll ever get a chance to meet him. Reilly said.
"He's a man who doesn't settle for the ordinary, so he's sure to go to the Great Voyage, and he won't be obscure when he enters," Shanks tilted his head and drank the wine and put it on the table, "so I think you should have a good chance of meeting." ”
"I hope so. Reilly said.
……
Life's opportunities are always unpredictable.
The reason why Geseta, the former editor of the "Donghai Daily", uses the word "once" is because his position, along with the "Donghai Daily" itself, has become history.
The Tokai Daily once took advantage of the hot spot of Prohibition to make a big fuss about King Norton I.
Gerseta and his colleagues in the "Tokai Daily" wantonly vilified and slandered Norton I, intending to make him a hot figure like a clown, because the newspaper office was not in the territory of the Kingdom of Navia, and Norton I could not control them, so they were so unscrupulous, but they did not calculate that there was a word in this world called material harm.
Half a year ago, the king of the kingdom of Falais, where the newspaper office was located, was angry at their wanton slander and attack on Norton I, who was also the monarch of the same country, and considered them disrespectful and humiliating.
Overnight, the "Donghai Daily," which had some reputation in the East China Sea, disappeared without a trace, and the top officials of the newspaper were arrested.
Because Geseta was a journalist, he was more well-informed, and knew that the world was like this, and there was no reason to talk to these kings, so when he heard the news, he fled in disguise, and escaped with a fateful fate, leaving the kingdom of Falais and living in a foreign land.
In the end, in order to beg for food, Sherlock, who was instructed by William, was recruited through the Four Seas Trading Company, and as a talent in the press industry, he was raised by William like a doorman in the Warring States period in his previous life, in case of emergency.
And when William decided to set up his own newspaper and use it as a mouthpiece, he naturally remembered Gesetta, and at the same time, Geseta did not expect that his current boss was the so-called "young godfather" that he had reported so much.
