Shanks pressed his straw hat and quickly disappeared into the crowd before the soldiers could chase him.

A few days later.

In a remote location in Rogue Town, a wooden boat sailed out of the shore and slowly sailed in the direction of the depths of the sea.

On the boat, there is Shanks with a straw hat.

At the front of the one-man boat, a wooden stick was erected, and a black cloth was tied to the top, and on the black cloth was a portrait of a soul painted crookedly that could not be seen at all.

If you look closely, you can still see that it is a skull...... I guess I can.

As for Shanks, he was holding the oars with both hands, and the famous knife [Griffin] that belonged to him lay at his feet, next to a cloth bag of salute and food.

Starting with a small boat, at least Shanks felt that his conditions were much better than that of Captain Roger, and if it weren't for Captain Roger's encounter with Reilly shortly after he went to sea, he wouldn't even have a boat.

How can you be called a pirate captain without a ship!

Shanks is optimistic, at least he is a pirate captain now, although he still has no younger brother, and Bucky's bastard is not willing to go to sea with him, otherwise he can make Bucky his co-captain.

Moreover, Bucky still has money to buy a better ship.

Shanks quickly put these thoughts to the side, and the vast sea didn't know when the next time he would see Bucky, but he would soon have a new companion.

That should be a companion who is even more powerful than Bucky, I heard that he is a sharpshooter, and he can be a sniper on his own ship.

Thinking so, Shanks was so motivated that he slid the ship as fast as he could, and he couldn't wait to have his first companion.

At the head of the village of Sirobe, a young man with curly brown hair was sitting on the shore, looking at the sea in the distance with a longing glint in his eyes.

He yearns for the outside world and wants to be a pirate to sail freely in this world.

However, it is not so simple to go to sea, especially since his son has just been born.

The conflict between dreams and reality makes him feel very bored, so he often comes to this place to sit down, hoping to relieve his depressed mood.

At that moment, a dilapidated boat appeared in his sight, and a young man on board who looked a little embarrassed.

Outsiders rarely appear on this island, and it is not known whether this young man got lost in the sea, or if he was lucky enough to come here after being shipwrecked.

The ship was getting closer and closer, and the man saw what was on the boat, and he had good eyesight, much better than the average person, and could be said to be gifted.

The black strip of cloth on the wooden stick on the bow of the boat, and the things painted on it, made the man almost laugh and lose his big teeth.

The young man in the straw hat had apparently seen it too, and he rowed the boat straight to where he was, and when he had reached it, he grinned and smiled very favorably.

2k

"Hey, uncle, is this Xirob Village?"

"Bastard, who do you call uncle!" The man was furious, pointed to his face and said, "I'm only in my twenties, but I'm a little dark, and I look a little old, and you actually call me uncle." ”

"Huh? Is that so! Shanks scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry you shouldn't have called you uncle, my name is Shanks, I want to find a young man named Jesus Bu from Xirob Village, his marksmanship is very good, I heard that he is a sharpshooter, is this Xirob Village?" ”

"Yes, this is the village of Sirob, and there is indeed a man named Jesus, but what are you looking for him?" The man asked.

Shanks clapped his hands happily, but fortunately he didn't find the wrong place, and if he couldn't find it, the boat under his feet would fall apart.

He grinned and said, "I'm a pirate captain and want to invite Jesus Bu to be my companion and go to sea with me. ”

"Pirate Captain? Just you? The man was shocked.

Looking at Shanks in front of him, he was a little incredulous, and he felt that the ship under his feet that was too small to even go out to sea for fishing was a pirate ship?

Shanks was not angry when he was underestimated, he knew that he was indeed a little behind the other pirate captains now, but Shanks believed that he would soon have a big ship and more companions.

Shanks never had to worry about these issues, even without Bucky's money......

"Haven't you told me where Jesus is?"

"I am Jesus." The man said, "If there is no second man named Jesusbu in the village of Sirob, then I am the one you are looking for." ”

"Huh?" Shanks was a little stunned, he didn't expect that he would be so smooth, and he had just found Jesus Bu here, "I heard that your marksmanship is very good, and you are a sharpshooter." ”

Jesus Bu looked proud: "It's hard to say the sharpshooter, but I do shoot accurately." ”

"That's right, I'm looking for you. I'm Shanks, and now I'm officially inviting you to join my pirate group and become my first companion. Shanks said seriously.

Jesus: "......"

I want to be a pirate, but I can't be like this, right?

This guy named Shanks is a fool!

……

……

When Shanks misses Bucky, he doesn't know that Bucky is already in dire straits.

At least that's what Bucky thinks.

If it were possible, Bucky would definitely not go to Alan to become a navy, and he would never choose to join the new barracks, which is simply not a human thing.

"Xiuzo, Bucky, you two get out of line."

"Yes."

With Allen's order, neither of them dared to delay in the slightest, and stood relative to each other after walking out of the queue.

Now it's a two-on-two confrontation practice, and the two of them are currently at the top of the rankings in the boot camp, and then there is a Rosinandi in addition.

Everyone else is a little worse, including the little white-haired Smoker and Tina, after all, they are still a few years younger, and they naturally have talent, but the gap in physical terms is not something that this talent can temporarily equalize.

On the contrary, it was Bucky who gave Alan a lot of surprises, this guy who didn't like training at all is now the same, but in the new barracks, everything is out of his temperament, and he doesn't want to train?

No problem, just give it a beating. One meal is not good, a few more meals, anyway, Bucky is the one who has been punished the most in the entire boot camp.

This red-nosed little blue fur actually has quite a good talent, and with the ability of Devil Fruit in his own body, it can be said that it is normal for him to achieve excellent results in the boot camp.

Especially in terms of swordsmanship, it can be said that no one has been able to defeat Bucky in swordsmanship, and his ability can really be described as a swordsmanship buster.

But Xiu Zuo is different, he is not good at swordsmanship, he is good at physical arts.

And this, in turn, happens to restrain Bucky's ability.

"From now on, half an hour of actual combat, you can attack the opponent in any way, until one side wins a complete victory, as for the decision of victory, everything is subject to what I say, before I allow it to stop, you can't admit defeat, understand?"

"Understood, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Xiuzo replied loudly.

"Understood." Bucky replied with a weak breath.

He suspected that Alan was deliberately targeting himself, no, there was no need to doubt it, it was aimed at him in itself.

After a long time of running-in, everyone has long been familiar with the entire recruit camp, and among the hundreds of people, the most outstanding people are just a few of them.

In this regard, the strongest is Rosinandi, followed by Bucky and Xiuzo.

Although Xiu Zuo has no fruit ability, he has a strong talent for physical arts, and he is also the fastest to learn the six styles, and in just a few months, he has completely mastered the iron block and the finger gun.

Alan doesn't care what Bucky thinks, to be reasonable, in the entire boot camp, only Bucky needs to use a whip to catch up behind to know how to work hard, this is the only one.

The others are in this, eager to gamble their lives when training, especially Smoker, who also needs to be careful not to overtrain, only Bucky, if he is not careful, he will be lazy in any way he can think of.

Urine escape is the most common reason, anyway, there is only the unexpected, there is nothing he can't do.

"The others have completed their training as originally planned, you two, let's get started."

With Allen's order given, Xiu Zuo didn't pause at all, and rushed directly at Bucky, the advantages of the long-handed clan were fully exerted by him, and a pair of arms turned into shadows, as if thick whips kept beckoning Bucky.

But the current Bucky is not a vegetarian either, and he is no longer the red-nosed he used to be.

After following Roger on adventures for so many years, and even fighting head-on with the Whitebeard Pirates, in fact, Bucky is not lacking in combat experience, he just didn't focus on fighting in the past.

Since entering the boot camp, even if he doesn't want to, he still needs to complete various training, which naturally lacks battles, which makes his current strength can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds compared to before.

What's more, in order to avoid being beaten, he is the closest to mastering the domineering spirit in the entire recruit camp.

That's right, Bucky is very close to mastering the domineering of seeing and hearing now.

Many of the fists from Xiuzuo were directly dodged by Bucky, and if he couldn't dodge, he used his fists and arms to block, and the two of them fought back and forth for a while.

But the grinning look on Bucky's face was hideous and funny, and it was because of the pain. Bucky's body is not as hard as Xiuzuo, and in the area of physical cultivation, among so many people in the new barracks, Bucky is at most ranked in the middle with his good talent.

Looking at Xiu Zuo, there was no expression on his dark face, but he was continuing to attack very seriously.

Finally.

His fist broke through Bucky's defenses, and one fist smashed into Bucky's nose, which had already been blasted, but now it became even redder, and there were two lines of blood flowing out from under his nose.

"Huh~" Bucky screamed, covered his nose and rolled over, dodging Xiuzuo's next attack, "Xiuzuo, you bastard, you dare to hit my nose, you are dead." ”

Bucky, who stood up again, suddenly flew out of his arm with a fist that smashed into Xiuzo's face like a cannonball.

Boom!

Although Xiu Zuo was on guard, but during this time, Bucky did not make the slightest progress in the development of the fruit's ability, and the speed of this fist was unlikely to be dodged before Xiu Zuo mastered the [Paper Painting] or saw and heard the color.

Bucky's fist slammed into Xiuzo's eye socket with a muffled thud.

"Whew~"

Bucky screamed again.

This wave ...... It was to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and when Bucky's fist flew in, Xiu Zuo already knew that he couldn't dodge, so he directly turned on the iron block.

Although the iron can't be cultivated to the eyes, the rest of the face is completely fine.

So this is where we are now.

Xiuzuo's eye sockets suddenly became bruised, and the eyeballs, which were already a little protruding, seemed to be larger again.

Naturally, there was pain, and even tears were beaten out, but Xiuzuo didn't say a word at all, and he didn't even have the slightest change in his expression, as if this circle was not smashed on his body.

He shook his head and lunged at Bucky again.

"This bastard, it's really stinky and hard." Bucky's fist retracted, a little helpless.

This is also the reason why he is reluctant to fight with Xiuzuo, he can't take advantage of it at all, and many times he can only fight hard, but he still can't touch it.

Now he was desperate to be able to master the domineering of seeing and hearing, so that he could easily deal with this big man.

Reining in the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Bucky fought with Xiuzo again very seriously.

This wasn't their first time fighting, and Bucky knew very well that if he didn't give it his all, he would lose badly.

Unlike his favorite sword fights, if it were a sword, Bucky would be able to stand still, and no one would hurt him in the slightest.

If he stood still now, he would probably be hammered to slag.

In fact, the battle between the two only depends on the scene, but Bucky has the upper hand, his moves are always imaginative, and the fruit ability gives him the confidence to be imaginative, except for his feet, other parts of his body can be split and fly in the air, which makes his attacks unpredictable, and no one can predict from what direction it will be launched.

It's just that even though he can have bells and whistles on the surface, the attack still needs to fall on the opponent's body.

This leads to the fact that even if he is more effective than Xiu Zuo in every attack, the effect is far less than Xiu Zuo, and his punch is like scraping, and the opponent's punch comes, and he can't bear it at all.

Moreover, it is impossible for Bucky to surrender.

The profound lesson of the previous year had already taught him that surrender would only make him worse.

As time passed, the navy clothes on both Xiuzo and Bucky were soaked, and both of them had blue noses and swollen faces, which made Bucky look even worse.

His red nose, in particular, was once the size of an apricot, but now it was like an apple.

"Okay, it's time." Alan pinched the time and shouted to stop.

Bucky immediately lay on the ground like a dead dog, snorting and chirping.

Alan was just about to say something, when an instructor came over: "Lieutenant General Allen, Chief Instructor Zefa invites you over." ”
