5. Chapter V
Recently, a group of strange pirates have come to the island, especially one of them is even stranger, always chasing behind Shanks's ass, muttering what kind of shitty year I am the person you are looking for~ Don't run ~
This is still the case today.
"Sao Nian, what are you running, I have said that I am the master you are looking for...... Ahh The bearded man with his red cloak chased after Shanks, muttering persistently that no matter how Shanks ran, he would always catch up, but he only fell a few steps, and it looked like a cat teasing a mouse.
Shanks couldn't see that he was crouching on the roof, scratching his head, frowning, and looking down at the drunken tone below, and said, "You're not the captain I'm looking for." "A mouthful of refusal.
'Click'
The sound of a broken heart.
"Why not?" The man resisted crying and asked.
Shanks listened, scratched his head, a little overwhelmed, wanted to go down to comfort, but didn't want to go down to be caught by him, and finally said helplessly: "We have no part in this fate." ”
This sentence brought the day to an end.
On the edge of the reef, where the three of them first met, Shanks picked up a pile of firewood and lit it, then sat cross-legged on the side, holding his chin in his hand and thinking bitterly about how to make the other man die and pull him into his boat.
Unfortunately, before he could figure out a solution, Bucky, who came over with his mother's dinner, laughed at him.
"What, you haven't gotten rid of that guy yet?"
Bucky said, throwing the lunch box to poor Shanks, who didn't even dare to return home, and then sat on his side and roasted the fire, his red nose in the firelight, a little more colorful.
"Hmm......" Shanks replied distressedly.
Bucky laughed, "I think you might as well get rid of him hahahaha......" Before the ghostly laughter was finished, a slap covered his head, forcing him to stop laughing.
Bucky hugged his head, turned his head and said angrily, "Who! Who hit Uncle Bucky in the head, don't want to ...... Uh, A, Alka. ”
After Bucky saw that the person behind him was an Alka who could beat them with one hand, his momentum weakened a few seconds ago.
Arka glanced at Bucky, who claimed to be his uncle, and said nothing, brushed him over, sat down on the other side, and said directly to Shanks, "Promise that guy, be his crew." He looked at Bucky and said, "You too, Bucky." ”
"Huh? Why? They don't look like they have any money at all. "Bucky's eyes are sharp, this is probably his hobby, the little golden finger he prescribes.
Arka threw a piece of firewood into it, and the flames immediately engulfed it, only a crackling sound was heard, and the gray-blue eyes were imprinted with swaying fire, and he opened his mouth slightly: "They are strong." ”
After Arka said this, she raised her head, with a serious look in her eyes, looked at these two people who were interesting humans in her eyes, and added: "Stronger than me now!" ”
"Follow them, you will become stronger, on the way, are you not afraid of no jewels?" The last sentence is clearly addressed to Bucky.
This sentence hit his heart, and his eyes lit up, while Shanks frowned and pondered for a while, and Arka's next sentence made Shanks no longer entangled.
"You can go and ask him why he's a pirate tomorrow."
"Good! And what about Arka? Shanks shook his fist, made his decision, and then asked Alka, who had been planning for them from the beginning.
"Me? Of course I have my own things to do......"
What's up? Probably even Arka himself doesn't know.
"Liar." Shanks saw through Alka's lie at a glance and said, "When you lie, your eyes always keep your eyes down. ”
Bucky listened, couldn't help but rub his eyes, stared at Arka with fiery eyes, and then realized that Shanks kid really said something like that.
The demolished Arka frowned, looking a little annoyed, it felt very bad to be seen through easily, there was a small rustling sound from the opposite side, and then there was an extra hand in front of her, with a thin callus, a hand that was larger than her, which made Arka raise his head and look at the owner of this hand, Shanks.
"If you haven't figured out where to go, let's go together, Arka." Shanks crossed the fire and held out his hand to the silent girl, whose face turned red in the light of the fire.
Arka looked at his bright eyes, remembering those eyes, which she had seen not long ago, at the strawberry boy who was represented by death, bright, firm, and transparent......
Shanks is that kind of person, too.
Arka lowered his gaze, and instead of reaching out his hand, he said to him, "Your sleeve is on fire." ”
"Huh? Hey!! It's on fire!! Shanks couldn't help but widen his eyes, watching the fire on his sleeve grow bigger and bigger, and he was so frightened that he immediately danced with his hands, and as a result, he accidentally rubbed on Bucky, and finally it can be imagined......
Bucky innocently lying on the gun.
Before they could turn into fire men, Arka stood up impatiently and kicked a person from behind: "It's noisy!" ”
'Bang bang', two sounds of falling water.
Then Bucky got out of the water, grabbed Shanks by the collar, gritted his teeth and shook Shanks, who was innocent and a victim, and roared: "You did it on purpose, you did it on purpose, you did it on purpose!" ”
"I'm sorry, Bucky."
"Ahh The apology is not sincere at all! Shanks, please hurry up and die!! ”
"Ahem!"
In the confusion, Arka coughed dryly twice, and successfully drew her attention to herself, and Arka who got the gaze tried to soothe her frowning brows, and said solemnly: "If he accepts it, I will join you." ”
"Hah! Of course we have to be together, otherwise the law enforcement overlord will win, and if you have the money, the three-person team will disperse! Bucky said in earnest, but ......
"That sounds like a terrible name...... Alka turned his head, unable to bear to face this strange and long team name.
Unfortunately, the next day, an uninvited guest came to visit and turned this series of plans upside down, and the bell that had been erected and hung in the town square was runged.
When-when-when-when
The four hurried and loud bells soon echoed, and the peaceful morning was shattered by the sound of the bells and the cannonballs that followed them.
The pirates are coming, the vicious pirates are coming!
The cries of the children and the panic of the women, and the clanging of the men began the war.
"It's the pirate who was chased away a year ago!" The man with bright red hair stood on a tall but still visible lookout tower in the distance, holding a telescope and scanning the approaching pirate ship, and the man on board who was smiling hideously was the pirate who had been beaten away by Shanks a year ago.
When drunk, he muttered that he was a captain and that his crew had been killed by Roger, the villain who had risen to prominence in recent years, but no one believed him at the time.
And now - he's back for revenge!
The red-haired man retracted his binoculars and said to his fellow countrymen on the side, "Quick! Let the elderly, children, and women hide under the flask! ”
"Good!" The fellow villagers went down in a hurry, this kind of thing can't be delayed!
"You, sue the men, are men, raise your weapons and drive out the pirates who are trying to invade our homeland!"
"No problem! Fanta. ”
The red-haired Fanta listened to the footsteps of hurriedly leaving, the hand placed on the guardrail couldn't help but clench, a resolute look burst out in her eyes, she picked up the hunting knife leaning on the side, and turned to go downstairs, when someone hurriedly ran up, a strand of red hair was exposed, and then the whole person ran out.
"Dad—"
"Shanks! Why are you here, why don't you go under the flask with the guys! Fanta, Shanks' father's face grew with a warm look of anger.
"Dad, I heard! It's the same pirate I ran away from a year ago, right? Shanks ignored his father's anger and cut straight to the point, saying, "I'm going to stay here!" ”
"Nonsense! This is not the time to be willful, follow your mother to the flask......"
"Don't! If the pirate is here for revenge, then I am the one who caused this incident! Dad, you told me to hide under the flask, how is this possible! Shanks resolutely turned and went downstairs, ignoring Fanta, who was angrily shouting his name upstairs because of him.
Boom-knock
With a loud bang, the building collapsed, the pieces fell to the ground, and the roads and houses that were clean yesterday are now a thing of the past.
Looking at the scenery in front of him and sniffing the dust in the air, Shanks clenched his hands, and the blood on the back of his hand bulged out and jumped, it was life, and it was also anger.
"Bastard!!" On the road of the ruined buildings, Shanks roared.
His home, his home, this is the hometown where he grew up!
"I won't let you go!!"
Even if he is willful, but the resolute gaze in his eyes has to be faced.
It was the first time Shanks had ever been so angry.
