"Hahahaha, I naturally know what kind of existence a group of pirates are. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Hearing Lance's words, Shanks suddenly laughed out loud without any image: "Pirates, as the name suggests, are nothing more than 'thieves' on this sea. The pirates burned, killed, looted, and acted recklessly, and everywhere they passed was a mess......"

Shanks listed one pirate after another, and he spoke with great ease, as if he were not a pirate but a bystander.

Seeing Shanks like this, Lance was a little surprised, this Shanks's self-blackening level is also high, right?

"If Your Excellency the Red-Haired knows what kind of existence a pirate is, then why do you want to be a pirate?"

"Because, we were originally 'pirates'!"

Shanks heard Lance's question, calmed down the shortness of breath caused by laughter, and said slowly.

Although Shanks said this with a smile on his face, his tone was extremely calm and firm, without even the slightest wavering.

"I don't understand that, what do you mean?"

In Lance's initial understanding, Luffy and his companions should belong to the "adventurer" or "navigator" type of existence, and the reason why they have always called themselves pirates is all because of Luffy's tendons.

But Shanks is different, although he occasionally has the attribute of comics, but he is obviously a much more rational person compared to the tenacious Roger and Luffy.

So he simply doesn't make the mistake of "confusing adventurers with pirates".

Therefore, Shanks' firm answer at this time made Lance a little unable to see clearly.

Although Lance didn't quite understand, the companions behind Shanks all looked at their captain with a smile on their faces, and from their eyes, it was not difficult for Lance to see that they invisibly showed respect and recognition for their captain.

"When you are sleepy, you go to sleep, when you wake up, you sail, when you have no harvest, you eat and drink together, and when you find treasure, you have a banquet together."

"When you have money, you occasionally go to the entertainment city to have a good time, and when you don't have money, you can find a pirate ship to grab a big deal."

"When we see people in need, we will not hesitate to lend a helping hand, and when we meet unhappy guys, we will naturally go on a killing spree."

Staring at the wine glass in his hand, Shanks's eyes were full of nostalgia and longing.

The kind of vigor and longing that belongs to young people, and the kind of eyes full of anticipation for the future, are difficult for Lance to see on Earth in his previous life from the eyes of those "uncles" of the same age as Shanks.

After a broken thought, Shanks also braked the car in time with interest.

With Shanks' state at this time, Lance would not doubt that he could speak for three days and three nights......

"Your Excellency 'Reims', I'll just ask one thing."

Although Lance is much younger than Shanks, this is a world where the strong are respected, so usually, people don't care about the age of the other party.

And Lance has always been polite and calls himself "Your Excellency", so Shanks naturally doesn't mind calling each other respectfully.

"Whether it's the navy, or the bounty hunter, or some 'adventurer' or 'navigator', can they kill people like us who are unhappy when they see them?"

When it comes to the topic of "murder", Shanks seems to be talking about a trivial matter, and he doesn't care at all.

Although Lance has also killed countless people in the past few years, he has always thought that he is killing bad people, and he is not as indifferent as Shanks.

Shanks's words completely subverted the cognition of Lance's previous life.

The impression of Shanks has always been that kind of "good old man", so Lance has never regarded him as a real pirate.

"What? Don't you understand? ”

Seeing that Lance seemed to be in a state of confusion, Shanks continued to explain: "This is a world full of adventure and blood, a world where a man can gamble his life for his dreams, and on this sea, only those who can live purely for their own hearts can be called the truly freest people!" And this is also my 'red-haired' Shanks's 'Way of the Pirates'! ”

Shanks stopped bothering Lance after saying this.

And time is also in Lance's thoughts, minute after second passes.

Long.

Lance's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"Hehe, it seems that I was indeed abrupt before."

Lance wasn't apologizing to Shanks, it was just something he subconsciously said to himself after untying the knot.

I have always been measuring the behavior of human beings in this world by the three views of the earth in my previous life.

Good and evil? True justice? A shrewd strategist versus a naïve fool? Here, is 'pirate' exactly the same as 'pirate' in another world......

All of this is just my own subjective speculation.

Because this world, which is dominated by the sea, is not the earth in the first place, why should we forcibly change the minds of others with the three views of the people of the earth?

Just do what you think is right, and that's enough.

"So, what are you going to do with the forces under the 'red-haired' pirates? A real 'emperor' can't always be adrift on the sea, his 'people' need him. ”

Without going into the previous content, Lance led the conversation straight to the final topic.

"Hehe, what 'Pirate Emperor', it's just the name of those boring people."

Shanks chuckled and said indifferently, "I just want to do my best, do what I want to do, and protect some more people by the way, I don't care about the title of 'One Piece Emperor'." If you want it, then I'll give it to you, and you can also take all the forces under my command. ”

"What a willful uncle."

Knowing Shanks' "Way of the Pirates", Lance would no longer be surprised by Shanks' suggestion at this time.

It's just that Lance doesn't believe that things will be so simple.

Because no matter what, whether it is called by outsiders or the self-"coronation" of the "Four Emperors", Shanks is also a "Pirate Emperor".

"Until then, though, I hope to test your temperament so that I can truly feel comfortable handing over 'them' to you."

As Lance expected, he should come, and sooner or later.

"Okay, I'm happy to accompany you!"
