Chapter 14: The Redhead and the Rednose ...... In action?
The night was late, but the crew of the red-haired pirates were not tired. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is both because of the passion of the carnival and because of a kind of catharsis for the day of fighting.
However, Shanks, as the captain of the ship, did not participate in the activities of the crew, but drank alone holding a wine bottle taller than his body.
He did this not because of the coldness of being the Four Emperors, or the deliberate estrangement between the captain and the crew in order to maintain their authority. In fact, on his boat, from the captain to the oarsman, all of them were as close as a family, regardless of their rank.
And the reason why he wants to stay here is precisely because an important partner needs him to accompany him. A partner who has been with him for a long time and has been scarred many times because of him......
The Red Force, also known as the Redforce, means: Red Force, or Red Force. And as the flagship of the Red-Haired Pirates, and the only pirate ship, its name echoes the title of Shanks.
In fact, it had accompanied Shanks for nearly two decades in his sailing career, and was the first ship he had ever owned since disembarking from Roger's ship. In the hearts of all the red-haired pirates, it is the most important companion.
Shanks cherished the ship so much that he joked many times that it was his wife. And every time he calls him, he also uses the word "she".
Speaking of which, he personally participated in the construction process of this ship. In particular, the most important keel of a ship was also shaped by himself for nearly a year, and little by little, it took another year to shape it by hand. The effort expended is not enough for outsiders.
There is a saying that all pirates can't resist the ** of fine wine, and when they drink, they all become bottomless pits.
Leaving aside whether the second half of the sentence applies to all pirates, at least Shanks still didn't blush or pant when he threw away the huge bottle, and he didn't even have any bulge in his stomach. Even the wine he had just poured in one gulp far exceeded the volume of his body.
Exhaling a breath of wine, Shanks stroked the bow of the ship beneath him with a gentle smile on his face. He sat cross-legged on top of the bow statue like Luffy's favorite seat.
The Red Foss has a crimson hull and a roaring dragon head at the bow. When sailing, it is like a fire dragon sailing on the sea, as powerful as it is.
The bow statue has always been considered a symbol of a boat, the totem and spirit of the crew. At the same time, it is also the soul of the ship and the embodiment of the will of the ship.
Naturally, this bow statue was also carved by him himself.
With Shanks's touch, you can feel a ripple that is like nothing, quietly generated in the air. With the action of stroking, the ripples also moved gently, as if responding to Shanks.
"Does it hurt...... Hehe, hard work...... Next time, don't be so reluctant......" muttered softly, and Shanks' smile revealed a little pity. And the rhythmic ripples in the air seem to have a little more joy.
For a moment, Shanks was a little dazed. Forgetting when it began, he always felt that there was a mysterious person on the ship he cherished. At first, he was still nervous and suspicious, trying to catch the bastard who had "invaded" his ship. For this, he was ridiculed by his own crew for a long time......
But slowly, he realized that what he thought was the mysterious man was actually the soul of the ship. Because of his love for this ship, the soul of the ship was born, and he once thought that it only existed in the legendary ship spirit.
I still remember when he was very young, when he was a midshipman on Roger's ship, and he also knew about the ship elves at that time. At the time, I thought it was amazing, but I didn't believe it.
Now that I think about it, wasn't the ship spirit of the Orson Jackson the one who had had a pleasant conversation with him and never met again?
"Huh...... Am I old, and I'm starting to remember those things......" Shaking his head and chuckling, Shanks leaned back and relaxed on his back on the bow statue, looking at the bright stars in the sky. An invisible force naturally appeared around him, enveloping him and dispelling the chill of the night.
Even if with Shanks's strength, he doesn't actually need it.
"Oops, I don't know why I suddenly remembered that guy from Bucky! I haven't seen him for so many years, and I don't know how he's messed up, and it's pretty boring to live without him!hahaha......"
"Hey, don't say that...... Poofha! Although his red nose is really funny, his personality is indeed funny! But ah...... How can someone who gets off the same boat as me be untalented?"
"That guy...... But Roger Boss has said that it is a pistachio with bad luck...... Puff ha, no, I remembered the way he ate the Devil Fruit that day......"
Shanks communicated with the ship elves, and the laughter was heard far away in the silent night......
This is a rare leisure time that Shanks has been able to enjoy lately. After resting on the island and repairing the scarred Red Foss, he'll be in the middle of endless battles.
It was a long and thrilling game of hide-and-seek with the naval fleet led by Admiral Akainu.
However, if the enemy he had to face was only Akainu's fleet, he would not be so embarrassed with the flexibility of a single ship. In today's situation, he is even on the verge of sinking, but it is because he did not expect the intervention of foreign forces.
Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, the "Hundred Beasts", the guy who is always ambitious, the bastard who always wants to pick up cheap......
Thinking of this, Shanks felt a lot of pressure, but then there was a feeling of heat and dryness caused by excitement. Maneuvering between two forces with the power of a single ship is exciting just thinking about it.
Isn't this the kind of life that the pirate is pursuing? Isn't the purpose of his voyage to sea a life of thrill-seeking?
And in addition to the coolness of walking on the blade, Shanks had even more reasons to do so, even if the choice seemed so unwise.
Red-haired Shanks, he has to dance in the new world with all his might, trying his best to attract everyone's attention! Only in this way can he reduce the focus on Whitebeard and give Whitebeard time to accumulate strength......
Yes, Whitebeard, who seems to be indifferent, has not given up on rescuing Ace from the beginning!
Edward Newgoth "Whitebeard" has never, and will never give up on any of his children!
But after all, he is no longer young, and even if he still sits on the strongest throne, the passage of time has not stopped. By now, his aging body has accumulated countless injuries and illnesses long ago.
So, he needs time......
Whether it's gathering troops or adjusting the state of your body, it takes time.
……
Nothing was said all night.
At dawn the next day, the Red Foss, who had been wounded and dying the night before, was rejuvenated after only a few hours. Now he is struggling again, like a dragon out of the abyss, sailing.
This is undoubtedly due to the hard work of the boatman, even if the man is just holding a wooden hammer and constantly knocking ......
The world of One Piece is so magical, it may take a group of boatmen to work together and spend a year to build a new sailboat, but it is also possible that a master craftsman can build a legendary ship in one night.
The boatmen of the red-haired pirates are themselves pirates with a bounty of over 100 million. Although the amount of the bounty cannot be linked to the skill level of the boatman, his level is undoubtedly top-notch.
The third deck of sails was opened, and when the sails were at an acute angle to the wind, the Red Foss accelerated suddenly. In the cheers of the pirates on the ship, like a red meteor, it tore through the waves and quickly moved away.
Red-haired Shanks, he began his action again. And as if there was a tacit understanding, in the distant sea level, shadowy masts slowly emerged......
The morning sun rises, and it is a new day, and a new battle.
……
"Ah......h Sneezing ...... Sneezing ......"
A few rapid and powerful sneezes made the great "Joker" Captain Bucky weak to the ground. Even the ability to split the fruit passively set off, allowing him to be "split" on the spot by the vibration of his own sneezing.
"It's a feeling...... Who the hell ......" Bucky looked at the sky with blank eyes, a look of powerlessness and fragility after being reincarnated, and whispered to himself, "...... would say bad things about me like that"
"Redhead bastard...... Is that you...... Woo-woo-woo-woo......" sobbed under his breath, Bucky's unfocused eyes filled with tears, and he bit his lower lip tightly, and the sound of his breathing became even more choppy. The torn body twitched slightly, and the shoulders kept swaying......
"Damn, red-haired bastard...... Why are you again...... Why is it this time again......"
I remembered all the misfortunes I'd had since I saw that familiar straw hat - it was indeed the one that Boss Roger had given the redhead......
My thoughts stretched, and it seemed that when I was very young, nothing went smoothly since I saw that red-haired guy!
Captain Bucky can't wait to look up to the sky and roar, red-haired bastard, are you my hit nemesis?
"I think Captain Bucky was also a leader in the world...... Now I can only leave tears ......"
Grief was piling up in his heart, and the painful and helpless Bucky thumped helplessly on the ground, and finally it all turned into a lament.
"Unfortunate!"
……
"Hurry up and catch !!him!" shouted from far and near, and then, amid the chaos of footsteps, a group of sailors led by Osa rushed over, slashing Bucky to the ground with both swords and guns.
The leader of the Bucky Pirates, the "clown" Bucky with a bounty of 15 million Bailey, was arrested for invading the naval base and is now being escorted to Impelton.
But I'm afraid no one would have thought that the so-called invasion was just Bucky digging for treasure......
In short, unfortunate......
