Chapter 170: Negotiation
Since he didn't know where the headquarters of the "redheaded" was, and Lance was not in a hurry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
So this time, Lance did not use his ability to fly over alone, but with the help of the professional navigator of the "Golden City", he took his partner and sailed over on the "Rab".
It's not a good idea to always stay in the "Golden City", so Lance simply treats this voyage as a "tour" and enjoys the scenery along the way.
According to the intelligence network of the "Golden City", the "Straw Hat Pirates" won the previous battle with the "Kidd Alliance" and are looking for a fourth "Coordinate Historical Text".
"It's okay, Luffy of the province thinks I'm going to eliminate the 'red hair', and he fights me again halfway. In that case, you shouldn't be able to touch him. ”
Thinking of Luffy's character, Lance also smiled helplessly.
……
"Beckman, do you think that 'Lance' will give up on this?"
Aboard the Red Foss, "Red-haired" Shanks looked at the sea in front of him and muttered to Ben Beckman, who was beside him.
Shanks, the "red-haired" Shanks, who usually has a hippie smile, will only show this serious and heavy expression when he encounters something that makes him pay attention.
"No, it won't."
Ben Beckman was concise, as if he had answered Shanks's question without much thought.
"Boss, the latest information, the pirate ship of the 'Ghost Pirates' has set off, and it is said that it is heading for our headquarters."
As a pirate emperor, Shanks often stays on his own pirate ship, but naturally there is a place similar to a "headquarters" within his domain.
Although they prefer to live on the "Thunder" rather than live in the "headquarters", the "headquarters" is naturally the best target if they are approached.
"Your words came true too quickly!"
Hearing the report of his subordinates, a smile suddenly appeared on Shanks' face: "Let's go, let's go back to 'home' and wait for him, in front of the juniors, you can't be ashamed!" ”
Shanks gave the order, and the "red-haired" pirates set sail.
……
More than ten days passed in a flash, and Lance and his party also slowly and leisurely came to the base camp of the "red-haired" pirates.
Along the way, the "Rab" was not intercepted in any way, and presumably the pirates under the "Redhead" were also ordered by the "Redhead" not to do anything against the "Ghost Pirates".
Therefore, the "Rab" drove straight in, as if in a no-man's land.
In the middle of a dense forest, the "red-haired" pirates are sleeping in the open.
The aroma of barbecue is everywhere, and you don't have to guess to know that the "red-haired" pirates are feasting on it.
"You're here?"
Feeling the powerful momentum of the visitor, the "redhead" recognized Lance at a glance.
However, what really surprised the "redhead" was that not only Lance himself, but also several companions who followed him, all hid unfathomable strength under the "weird" appearance.
"Wine and meat, are you welcoming us?"
I have long known the casualness of the "redhead", so Lance simply came to him with a self-acquaintance.
"Well, if you don't dislike it, welcome to join us at the banquet."
The "redhead" grinned when he heard this, revealing a sunny smile.
"I've got some of the best wine from the Golden City......"
"Come on, come on, sit on my side!"
“……”
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Lance's group of companions is basically "comics", so they quickly mingle with the "red-haired" pirates.
If the "red-haired" side hadn't known that Lance and the others had come here for other reasons, maybe the atmosphere of this banquet could have been raised to a higher level.
"Oh, I see, I said why did you think you had a captain's breath in you?"
The two sides were not enemies, and if Luffy's relationship was taken into account, the two sides should have been friends.
So the chat between Lance and the redhead is basically from Tiannan to Haibei.
"OnePiece isn't a treasure either, it's a bit similar to what I guessed."
Finally caught a crew member of "One Piece Roger", Lance naturally asked about the secret of "OnePiece", and couldn't forget to ask Reilly like last time.
"Hahahaha, of course, otherwise, with the character of that guy from Bucky, he would have gone to Ralph Drew to look for OnePiece a long time ago, so how could he run a courier company by himself!"
Although Shanks is not as simple as Roger and Luffy, he is as simple as a "dumbfounder", but he also has the gene of "comic" in his bones, so naturally he doesn't care much about his image.
"Yes, the god Bucky can be considered a legend!"
"Great God? Legend? ”
Shanks didn't understand what Lance meant.
"Ahem, nothing."
And Lance no longer dwelled on this topic, and hurriedly steered the conversation on the right track: "The wine is almost drunk, 'Red-haired' Excellency, is it time for us to talk about business?" ”
Lance's voice was not loud, but as soon as his words came out, everyone who was still "hi" together fell silent in an instant.
In particular, Ben Beckman and Zhao Yun's eyes flickered constantly, as if their brains were running at high speed.
"Okay!"
Shanks also restrained his smile when he heard this, and finally showed the posture that a "Pirate Emperor" should have.
"Your Excellency the 'Red-haired', we are not here to fight, presumably the friends of the 'Red-Haired Pirates' are too nervous."
Looking at the momentum of the "red-haired" side, Lance shook his head helplessly.
"But I'm not going to grant your request."
Shanks didn't take Lance's words, but directly threw out his own opinion.
"Is it because the messenger didn't say it?"
Lance was not angry at Shanks' words.
Regarding the temper of the "Four Emperors", Lance still knows a lot, and it is even more difficult to make them soft than to kill them.
And Lance can even eliminate the "redheads" if needed, so there's no need to get angry at all.
"The reason why we are 'pirates' is to be free, and His Excellency Lance actually wants us to give up our identity as pirates, isn't this a bit difficult for a strong man?"
Once again, Shanks didn't answer Lance, because he did chase the messenger away after hearing the first few words, but he was too embarrassed to admit it, so he just subtly changed the subject.
"There's nothing inherently wrong with pursuing freedom, but why do you have to be a pirate? Presumably, with the experience of the 'red-haired' Excellency, it is not difficult to understand what kind of people the real pirates are, right? ”
