Chapter 152 Don't Give Face (Fourth Update!) Seamless Gap for the Church Master)

William was accustomed to never turning his back to the door or the stairs in public, and when Shanks went upstairs, he noticed the other person first. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

William's swordsmanship has been called a mastery, and Koshiro's one-hearted flow, like many kendo in this world, emphasizes spiritual cultivation and admires the power of the soul, and in William's current realm, he already has the perception of belonging to a swordsman.

From the first sight of Shanks, William belonged to the sixth sense of a swordsman, and told him that this man was not ordinary.

That's why he frowned when he looked at the wine table where Shanks and his group were in the hall on the first floor.

When William took a closer look at Shanks, he quickly discovered where his feeling was coming from.

Shanks' right finger knuckle is thick, the calluses on the tiger's mouth, and special marks are all caused by the perennial use of the sword.

He was clearly a one-armed man with the sleeve of his left arm empty, but he still maintained excellent balance when walking, holding two wine glasses in one hand, and the wine in them shook very little.

His pace was steady, since he went upstairs, not only William's eyes fell on him, but also the members of the Morgan Pirates on the second floor, most of their eyes were on him, these pirates were either fierce or brave, and they were looked up and down by these people, but Shanks turned a blind eye, considering that he was still a handicapped person, which could be seen as both confident in his own strength and courageous.

Shanks came to the wine table where William was, and after gently putting down the two glasses of wine, he grinned: "You are Captain William of the Morgan Pirates, right?" Can I treat you to a drink? ”

William glanced at Shanks, who smiled with his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing his snow-white teeth, looking sincere and hearty, and it was hard not to give face.

But William was not one to drink from strangers for the sake of others or his own face, especially after learning that the nobles of Kalmar had just discussed poisoning themselves.

William smiled and pointed to the wine glass in front of him: "I already have wine." ”

Shanks patted the back of his head, and after being politely rejected by William, he didn't see any embarrassment on his face, or he was angry because he felt that he had lost face, he picked up the glass of wine that he had brought to William in front of him, gestured to William slightly, tilted his head, drank it directly, and then sat down on the sofa opposite William, next to Edmund, who also had red hair.

When William sat down with Shanks, he took a closer look at him, and the dark and rough skin, the scar on his left eye, and the smell of the sea on his body ...... all of these things made William feel familiar.

After sitting down, Shanks smiled embarrassedly at Edmond, who frowned slightly, and raised the second glass of wine he brought, signaled to Edmund and Sherlock at the same table, and drank the whole glass of wine neatly again.

The two wine glasses that Shanks brought were not small, and they were full of spirits, and they drank twice in a row, which seemed very bold, so even though he was just a stranger who did not know his origin, William even suspected that he was also a pirate, which still made it difficult for people to arouse hostility.

Shanks' first subsequent self-introduction confirmed William's suspicions: "My name is Shanks, and I'm a pirate. ”

William and Sherlock were a little surprised, and the two of them were surprised that it wasn't Shanks who revealed his identity in public.

After all, in the East China Sea, it is the norm for the navy to capture pirates, and after pirates are discovered by the navy, they often cannot escape the fate of being hunted, even if they are strong, they will always be in trouble.

Of course, this can't keep some outlaws from caring about this kind of thing, what makes William and Sherlock really surprised is the relaxed man in front of him, the proud tone and expression when he said that he was a pirate.

That look, like that of a schoolboy in William's previous life, showing off his title to others, the attitude of being proud of it and being complacent, came from the heart.

As far as William's own experience is concerned, most of the people he has come into contact with who are pirates have unavoidable hardships and stories, and a considerable number of them are people on the margins of society, or the oppressed people at the bottom, and very few people are as simple and sincere as Shanks, who are proud of their pirate status.

Edmund barely counts one, so his perception of Shanks has become pretty good.

"You can see it." William lifted his glass and lowered his head as well, in response to the glass of wine that Shanks had saluted before.

After William put down his glass, he asked directly, "Have you come to my village, is there anything wrong?" ”

He accentuated his tone when he said the words "my village".

"I'm here for you," Shanks looked at William with burning eyes, "I've heard the name and deeds of you and the pirates you led from far away in the kingdom of Goya, and my dream is to find a group of amazing companions to travel the world together as pirates, so after hearing about you, I have always wanted to have a drink with you in person, and then invite you to join my fleet." ”

When Sherlock heard this, he froze for a moment, and Edmund's attitude towards Shanks changed sharply, and the little favor he had was instantly gone.

William is the soul, reality and spiritual leader of Edmund and other pirates and members of the forces, and now a person who jumped out of nowhere wants to invite William to join his fleet and make William bow his head, how can a person like Edmund be comfortable in his heart?

William raised his eyebrows, took a peanut from the table and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and deliberately asked, "You want me to be the captain?" ”

Shanks was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "I'm sorry, I will only recognize one man as the captain in my life, and this man is dead." ”

"Coincidentally," William replied meaningfully as he picked up the bottle and re-poured the empty glass in front of him and Shanks, "I will only recognize one man as captain in my life, and this man is dead." ”

Shanks is naturally talking about One Piece Roger, his situation with William can be said to be completely different, since the beginning of stepping into the field of pirates, he has a very high starting point, and he is a crew member under a man like One Piece Roger, and because of this, this makes Shanks after Roger's death, he can no longer identify with other people as his captain in his heart, because it is difficult to find a more charismatic leader than One Piece Roger.

Unlike Shanks, the first captain who led William to become a pirate was just a waste wood that he didn't even have a little recognition, Denton's name, William almost forgot, and the captain he really reluctantly recognized was the enemy of "Redbeard" Barbarossa, because he did see some strengths from Barbarossa and learned some things.

However, as William said, he would only recognize this one man as the captain in his life, and this man was already dead and killed by his own hands.
