Chapter 278: A Conversation with Shanks

Somewhere in the Great Voyage, Red. On board the Foss.

Rakhi. Lu pulled the chicken leg in his hand with his mouth and asked, "Boss, we haven't seen Luffy for a long time, don't you really need to see him again...... And his injuries look serious! ”

"It's not time to meet yet...... Let Ace take care of it......"

Shanks said calmly, paused again, and then enthusiastically poured out a bowl of wine from the jar and placed it in front of Bucky, "This is the wine from my hometown of the West Sea, you can taste it too, Bucky!" ”

"Wine ...... of the West Sea"

Bucky took the wine bowl, and after taking two sips, he wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and said without timidity, "Time has changed...... Twenty-three years have passed since the disbandment of the Roger Pirates, and that time is really fleeting, except for the one in Rogue Town, which is the first time we have met in twenty-three years...... By the way, I ran into Mr. Jabba and Kulokas at Twin Heads before......"

"Yes, Kurokas is still there to look after his Rab, haha-" Shanks laughed heartily as if remembering something, and said with emotion, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen him again since I went to the East China Sea ten years ago and then returned to the Great Voyage, so I guess it's the same, has Mr. Jabba been to the Twin Heads too...... Well, Bucky, since you've been in the East China Sea before, why didn't I hear from you when I went? ”

"It turns out that you have been to the East China Sea ten years ago, no wonder that kid's hat looks so familiar......"

Bucky nodded abruptly, then looked at the red-haired severed arm vaguely, and continued, "Because I accidentally got a treasure map before, and I've been working on this matter, naturally I haven't attracted the attention of the Navy, you know that my personality doesn't like to show off very much......"

"Hahaha-" Shanks slapped his legs and laughed, "It's so strange that I don't like this sentence coming out of your mouth!" ”

"When we came, we heard your declaration in the war just now, and the person who can say that is not a low-key person is not a low-key person...... "Ben. Beckman sat aside with a cigarette in his mouth, "and ......"

His words came to an abrupt halt and did not continue, as a smart man, Ben. Beckman will analyze the process and outcome of a matter from the perspective of interests, and what Bucky did was not as simple as saving the blood of the former captain in his opinion, but he did not give his thoughts so abruptly, which is not the way a smart person speaks.

Bucky shrugged his shoulders ambiguously, and did not explain much about the matter, but instead Shanks poured Bucky another jug of wine and asked bluntly, "...... How did you know that Ace was Captain Roger's blood...... Could it be that Captain Roger told you before he died? ”

"Don't come and ask me about my secrets......"

"Don't, say it quickly!" Shanks affectionately put his arm on Bucky's shoulder and persuaded, "Even Mr. Reilly and Mr. Jabba have been kept in the dark about this, how the hell do you know, could it be that I guessed it?" But there's no reason, since you know about this, how can you just meet Ace for the first time when Marin Fando was there? I really can't figure it out at all! ”

"You guy, you have enough annoying ......" Bucky shook off Shanks' hand on his shoulder, but found that he couldn't get rid of it like kraft candy, so he had to say, "I naturally have my own news channel, you can become the [Four Emperors] of the [New World], isn't it possible that I haven't had the slightest great achievement for so many years?!" ”

"What a 'great achievement', your guy's mouth is too tight...... Shanks pursed his lips dissatisfied, and poured himself another sip of wine, "However, no one can think of the second captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace...... It's Captain Roger's son, and it's Luffy's sworn brother, so even now, I can't believe it...... But it's still too good that they've all been rescued...... Thanks to you, Bucky! ”

By the end, his face relaxed.

"But Whitebeard is dead...... Bucky lifted the bowl and collided with Shanks's, splashing crystal clear hops, "the man who can compete with Captain Roger...... After all, it can't compete with the level of [Years]......"

"People will grow old, but the will will will not be changed by the years, it will be passed down from generation to generation, even if it is buried in the sand, stones, and the depths of the sea, it will one day be unearthed...... Become a benchmark that leads the whole world! ”

"[Will]...... It's not a topic I like to talk about, can't people who don't have a "D" in their name encompass the world?! Bucky's tone softened, "Forget it...... This kind of thing doesn't make sense to me. ”

Shanks was stunned: "You guy ......" said, the words changed, "I have my own ideas, haha!" ”

He asked, "So what do you want to do next?" ”

Bucky replied, "I'll go to Chambord Island first, and then I'll go to the New World when I'm ready, where the real [arena] is, survival of the fittest......

Shanks tried to ask, "Well, do you want to ...... with me?"

"You want me to join your pirates? Again, less dreaming. ”

"Haha...... Yes, it's exactly the same answer as when we parted ways in Rogue Town twenty-two years ago, it seems that you really haven't changed at all......" Shanks also truthfully outlined his next voyage, "Then we will also go to Chambord Island to coat, but not too close to Chambord Island, those navy on the island are not very welcoming to us, and then escort Ace and them back to the New World......"

After a few more conversations, Bucky suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know of an island called 'Uze'?" ”

"Uze ......" Shanks shook his head, "I don't know. ”

"Yes......" Bucky replied expectedly.

"You mean that Uze Island......" Ben, leaning against a pillar next to him. Beckman said slowly, "That island is at the junction of Kaido and Whitebeard's forces, I heard that it is an island that can move, and countless famous pirates have never come out after entering, in short, ......" he said, he summed up three words succinctly, "It's dangerous." ”

"Dangerous island?"

Bucky secretly kept an eye out for being able to get Ben. The islands that Beckman uses these three words to evaluate must be extraordinary, but this also shows the ...... There is a high probability that there will be that [legend] in this...... Ouranos!!
