Chapter 236: Encounter with Reilly
Locke's Star, it turned out to be this man......
Seeing this face, Bucky only had a slight impression in his heart, isn't this guy the 94 million "newcomer" sent by the red-haired pirates to deliver a letter to Whitebeard in the original book......
Because the envelope was torn apart by Whitebeard, I felt very shameless, and I was reprimanded by the red hair, whether face is important or life is important.
However, daring to get on Whitebeard's boat alone, without Zhang Huang being at a loss, this guy is quite courageous.
"You ...... guy"
Rockstar was slightly surprised when he saw that someone had stopped his punch, and then took a closer look at the other party's side face on the back of the light, and his brows jumped, "Bucky the Clown?!" We do not interfere with the water of the well...... Why are you holding me back? ”
"Isn't your nonsense a little too much......"
"You ...... It makes me very shameful! ”
With that, Rockstar threw another punch straight at Bucky.
Bucky didn't panic, his other hand was covered with armed color domineering, and he slammed into a punch from Rockstar!
In an instant, the fist wind blew the cards and chips on the surrounding gambling tables outward, and the girl and the female guests hurriedly covered the skirts of their lower bodies and screamed again and again.
Lockstar only felt a burst of powerful power coming from his fist, and was shocked backwards five or six steps, and then stabilized his figure, he intuitively felt Bucky's strength, and vaguely pinched his fist, which was a little numb, and secretly gritted his teeth, "Is this the strength of the pirates with a reward of more than 100 million......
Bucky withdrew his fist, "I don't have time to mess with you right now, you can go." ”
Rockstar's face changed, and he finally spoke, "Okay, I remember you...... Bucky the Clown, goodbye to our new world!! ”
With that, he turned around and left decisively.
"It's still a guy who knows how to advance and retreat, no wonder he can get on Shanks' ship......"
Bucky looked at Klossa's back and said secretly, then coldly glanced at the surrounding onlookers, "Don't stand here, do whatever you have to do!" ”
The crowd around them suddenly dispersed, and the pirate in front of him heard that it was even more terrifying than the one just now, and even the casino manager was secretly relieved, but he didn't dare to come up and talk to him at this moment, only prayed in his heart that this pirate would not make trouble here like Rockstar.
"Bucky...... Follow me. ”
A very faint, familiar voice came from behind him...... After all these years, Reilly's voice really hasn't changed at all.
Bucky turned around and followed the white-haired Reilly, and the two deliberately kept a distance, and then walked out of the casino one after the other.
After leaving the casino and the flow of people around him was much less, Reilly turned to look at Bucky and smiled very heartily, "Bucky, I haven't seen you for so many years, your appearance really hasn't changed at all, fortunately you made a timely move just now, otherwise I would be terrible, haha!" ”
Bucky knew that what Reilly said by "bad" meant that his identity was bad, and if his identity was exposed, he was afraid that the Navy would take action, and it would be difficult to live a peaceful life, which is why he deliberately kept a distance.
He laughed, "You too, Mr. Reilly, you still look as free and easy as when you were younger!" ”
"Where are you still young or young, I just want to retire quietly on this island and spend my old age in peace, not as good as you young people who swim freely on the sea!" Reilly said, "By the way, Bucky, I haven't heard from you before, why did you start to get active lately?" ”
Bucky pondered for a moment, his eyes revealing a hint of ambition: "I smell the scent of a new era coming, and I...... There is a right to be a pioneer in this era! ”
When Reilly heard Bucky's words, he glanced at the latter in surprise, and then was relieved: "Yes...... After so many years, no matter who it is, it will change, if you are no longer regarded as ignorant juniors, it is my fault, the old people on Roger's ship have retired, only you and Shanks are still young, and the next era ...... It will be you who will be blessed. ”
Bucky and Reilly were walking and chatting, speaking of Shanks, Reilly also missed the time when he was on the ship, "I remember when you and Shanks discussed whether it was cold in the South Pole or the Arctic, do you have the answer in your heart now?" ”
Bucky smiled slightly: "It's coldest when it's cold, but as long as you're with your partners and have the belief of mutual trust and protection, you won't feel cold whether it's the South Pole or the North Pole." ”
"Haha!" Reilly laughed, "You've grown a lot, Bucky, I underestimated you just now!" ”
"No, Mr. Reilly has always had a good eye."
"By the way, you're from the East China Sea, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Reilly."
"Well...... About ten years ago, Shanks went on a trip to the East China Sea, and when he came to the Chambord Islands, I met him by chance, and his straw hat and left hand were missing, and he told me that he had bet his arms and straw hat on the hope of a new era...... Speaking of which, I'm very interested in that 'Hope', since you're from the East China Sea, I wonder if you've ever met that 'Hope'? ”
"Nope." Bucky shook his head, "Still, I think this one must be a guy with a lot of charisma. ”
"Haha, that's a shame."
When old friends meet, the two naturally open their hearts and chat without taboos, Reilly is a hearty guy by nature, Bucky is infected by the other party's affinity on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wants to communicate with Reilly Duoduo and contact feelings.
Then, Bucky told him about his encounter with Jabba at Twin Heads, and Reilly nodded, "Jabba went to Wano Country and came here to meet with me, and he told me that he was going to the South China Sea to find news of Roger's bloodline. ”
Bucky feigned surprise: "Captain Roger...... Is there still bloodline? ”
"I don't know. Reilly said with a deep gaze, "I haven't heard Roger mention it, but if there are no clues, Jabba won't go to the South China Sea, if Roger really left his bloodline, but chose to deliberately conceal it, probably because he didn't want to implicate us old guys, just like when he disbanded the pirates and let us go our separate ways, he went to the navy alone to turn himself in, although he usually has a big grin, but in fact, he is smarter than anyone else, and his vision is more accurate than anyone else...... Perhaps he will give his bloodline to someone who can better protect his growth. ”
"Really......"
Bucky nodded, Reilly guessed correctly, and Roger's choice is now the most correct, if Ace is handed over to Reilly, not only will the two not be able to live in peace, but even Reilly will probably have to live under the pursuit of the Navy for the rest of his life, running around, and will not be carefree like this.
Ace, who has the "demon bloodline", as long as his identity is discovered, will definitely become the first target of the navy at any time, because in a strategic sense, catching Ace and announcing his life experience to the world is a powerful deterrent to all pirates in the four seas and the great route, and the top war in the future is exactly like this, the difference is that the calculation of the navy in the future will be even bigger, and if you want to execute Ace and start a war against the Four Emperors, as long as you win, it will be a turning point of the times, but unfortunately Whitebeard's sentence before he died" "Onepiece is real" spread around the world through the video phone bug, not only making the Navy's efforts come to naught, but also making the whole world boil, and then the more radical Akainu moved the Navy headquarters to the new world.
Roger also thought a lot about it at the beginning, and then told Karp the news of his wife and children, dangerous places are often the safest places, no one could have imagined that the heirs of One Piece have grown up under the protection of legendary sailors, and it is Roger who knows that "the best understanding of himself is often his own enemy", for the lifelong enemy Karp, he also knows the other party's personality, so rest assured to entrust, similarly, Karp also admires Roger very much, for this "old friend" request, he hesitated, or agreed.
Where did Jabba know the clues, so he wanted to go to the South China Sea to look for clues, so he had an encounter with Bucky in the Twin Heads.
Of course, Bucky won't tell Reilly at this moment that Ace is Roger's son, who is currently working for the Whitebeard Pirates, and will be the fuse that will change the direction of the world in the future.
The two talked, all the way back to "Xia Qi's Ripper BAR", during which Bucky contacted Mochi through the phone bug, so that he and Xiuma didn't have to look for it anymore, and they could come back when they had had enough.
The two of them pushed open the door to the bar and walked inside.
"Yo~~ I came back quite early today." Xia Qi sat on the sofa and calmly looked at Reilly who came in from the door, and spit out a smoke ring from his mouth.
"When I met an old friend, I think about it, and it's most comfortable to chat here." Reilly was in a good mood, smiled indifferently, and glanced at Lilina beside Xia Qi, "This young girl...... Your crew, too, Bucky. ”
"Yes." Bucky sat down on the couch, "I still have a few crew members on the ship who haven't been here, and we want to stay here for a while." ”
"Oh......?" Reilly was keenly aware of something, and said, "I've talked so much to this old man along the way, and your purpose doesn't seem to be so simple, I'm not a stingy person, if there's anything you want me to help with, just say it." ”
"Mr. Reilly, I want to practice here for a while."
Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Bucky finally opened his mouth to express his inner meaning, "If there is your guidance, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!" ”
Reilly looked at Bucky, "You should have mastered the two-color domineering by now, right?" ”
Bucky Zhengse said: "Yes, but I want to go deeper!" ”
Reilly squinted slightly, a bright light flashed in the lenses of his glasses, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Bucky, I am very happy that you have this kind of self-motivation, if you want to follow me to practice, of course I will not refuse, but once you practice, you will not have a chance to quit halfway!" ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Reilly!"
Before Reilly spoke, Bucky was still a little nervous, for fear that the other party would refuse, but after getting the other party's consent, he was suddenly a little ecstatic, Reilly was really as bold as he remembered, and it didn't change at all!
However, in the final analysis, it was because he and he had been companions for three years, and if it was just an ordinary person's request, Reilly would have decisively refused.
"Okay, okay, if you want to practice, please wait until tomorrow, little brother Bucky, you will stay here today to rest." Xia Qi walked up and poured each of them a cup of hot tea.
Bucky said happily, "Thank you, Sister Xia." ”
The current situation is the same as I think, as long as I have the guidance of Reilly, in the next less than a year, my strength should be further improved, even if it is to meet the top war, I will have a greater certainty, as long as I follow my own plan, I can have a foothold in the new world in the future.
Then, Xia Qi approached Reilly and sniffed on the latter's clothes, "The smell on my body is very fragrant, it seems that I have been hanging out with a young girl recently, right?" ”
Listening to Xia Qi's teasing, Rao is Reilly also looked a little embarrassed in front of everyone, and hurriedly waved his hand and laughed, "No, no, this is all from the smell of Bucky's body." ”
"Ahem...... Bucky coughed, turned his head, and said vaguely, "I don't know ...... either"
"Okay, I'm kidding, Reilly, I haven't been back for so many days, I smell weird, let's go take a shower in the bathhouse." Xia Qi looked at Bucky again, "Bucky's little brother should go too, the bathhouse is a good place for men to be honest and promote their feelings." ”
"Well......?" Bucky was a little dumbfounded, "Is that so, I see......"
So, the two took off their clothes in the changing room at the back, wrapped a bath towel, walked into the bathhouse with hot water, washed up, and then lay down comfortably in the bath, and then chatted with each other.
"Mr. Reilly, with such a caring wife as Sister Xia, life should be very comfortable, right?"
Reilly leaned his hands on the back of his head, and replied while thinking, "I still prefer a free and easy life, although Xia Qi and I have had a relationship for so many years, but if she is in charge every day, arranging this and that, I don't feel very comfortable, but she is not a little woman, she has always understood me and reassured me, so I like this rhythm of life very much." ”
Bucky secretly said in his heart, "After you lose a gamble in the casino, sell yourself to the auction house to steal some small money, and then go to the casino for the rhythm of life...... "Probably this is your unique charm!" ”
"Really......? Ha ha! Reilly himself laughed a little uncertainly.
The bathhouse was large, the water in the pool was very warm, and the comfortable environment allowed the two to open up and talk about what they had been through.
After washing, the two put on their clothes and returned to the bar, where Mochi and Xiuma had returned, and Natsuki had prepared dinner.
Bucky also introduced Reilly to his buddies, and the group began to enjoy dinner.
As for why Reilly didn't show up to save Ace in the top war, it can only be guessed that Reilly didn't know Ace's true identity at the time, and he would come to the rescue of the Straw Hats who had been with him for a while on Chambord Island, not to mention that Ace was Roger's son. Of course, there is also the possibility that Roger told everyone that he had a son, but did not say who or where. If that's the case, it is very likely that Shanks returned to the East China Sea ten years ago to return the straw hat that Roger gave him to Roger's son and complete the task of the middleman, but it took a year to find it, but at this moment Shanks was infected by the spirit of Luffy, so he gave him the straw hat. The above is just my personal conjecture.
