Shanks and Ben Beckman returned to the Red Foss early not long after they got on board.

The two of them are also afraid that their crew members will not know the truth and have a conflict with Ji Guoyuan.

Luckily, by the time Shanks and Ben Beckman returned to the ship, none of Hongo's crew had returned to the ship.

Shanks saw Ji Guoyuan helping Jesus with the child on the bow deck, and also took steps to the deck, and saw Ji Guoyuan smiling and holding the young Uta chatting, and the tense muscles on his face also relaxed:

"You seem to like children very much! Mr. Jiguo. ”

Hearing the voice behind him, Uta turned his head suddenly, and then struggled out of Yuanyi's embrace, shouting happily as he ran towards Shanks: "Shanks! You're back! ”

Uta cheered, and wrapped her arms around Shanks' calves.

"Well, children are the future of the world."

"I want every child in this world to grow up in a peaceful environment."

Ji Guoyuan picked up his big from the ground, glanced at Shanks, who was slowly holding Uta in his arms, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shanks couldn't help but nodded, and whispered with some emotion: "The future!" ”

Shanks's mind began to think back to the time when he lived on Roger's ship, the king of the pirates. Being able to travel freely on the sea with his friends without worries was a precious time for Shanks.

"I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I actually became the character of Captain Roger."

Shanks looked at the blue sea with a lot of thoughts.

Between Ji Guoyuan and Shanks, there is actually not much to talk about, although the two have met a few times, but if they want to be familiar, it really doesn't count. Jiguoyuanyi knows a little about Shanks, but Shanks knows very little about Jiguoyuanyi.

As for the true purpose of Jiguo Yuanyi, Shanks still has reservations in his heart and does not make up his mind easily.

The two stood on the deck for a while, and the young Uta began to get sleepy with his head hanging down, and when he saw this scene, Shanks and Ji Guoyuan said goodbye together, and left the deck with Uta in their arms.

And after Shanks left, Ji Guoyuan Yi also sat by the guardrail, looking at the sea and thinking about his own affairs.

"Mr. Jiguo, I've cleaned up your room."

"There are already a lot of cabins on board the Red Foss, and I've cleaned one."

"Do you need to go to town to buy some groceries?"

After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps on the wooden ladder leading to the piercing deck, and not long after, Jesus Bu came to the deck and asked Ji Guoyuanyi.

He had already learned about Jiguo Yuanyi from Shanks in the cabin, although he was still very wary in his heart, but he did not treat Jiguo Yuanyi differently in terms of dealing with people.

"Really? That's really bothering you, Mr. Jesus. ”

"I'll go to the town to buy some groceries later."

Ji Guoyuan tilted his head slightly, glanced at the Jesus cloth, and replied with a smile.

"Do you need to go see your room now?"

"If you're not satisfied, there are some other vacant rooms, you can check them out."

Jesus Bu showed enthusiasm and although he did not treat Jiguoyuanyi as a partner, at least he did not treat Jiguoyuanyi as an enemy.

The attitude towards Jiguo Yuanyi is more like the host's treatment of guests, and there is also a sense of alienation in the enthusiasm.

"I didn't ask for anything about the accommodation."

"It's good to have a place to rest."

"Speaking of Mr. Jesus, you seem to be from the East China Sea, right?"

"How did you think of going to sea and becoming a pirate?"

Ji Guoyuan leaned on the railing, looked at the young face of Jesus Bu, and asked with a smile.

"Why go to sea?"

"General Ji Guoyuan, are you interrogating me?"

Jesus touched his chin and did not answer the question of Jiguo Yuanichi directly, revealing a skeptical look.

"It's just a normal chat."

"To be honest, I don't communicate much with the pirates, and I want to hear if the crew of the famous red-haired pirates have any answers that are different from others."

Ji Guoyuan's tone was calm, and he didn't put on an aggressive posture, and the eyes that looked at Jesus were clear and deep.

"There's no other reason to go to sea, I like to live at sea at ease."

"It just so happened that Shanks invited me, and then I went to sea, it's as simple as that."

Jesus shrugged his shoulders and replied with a smile.

When Ji Guoyuan heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and then suddenly asked, "Mr. Jesus, do you have a wife?" ”

"Of course!"

"What are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

Hearing Ji Guoyuanyi suddenly mention his wife, Jesus Bu's expression was sharp, and his brows were tightly frowned.

"Nope"

"I just think it's a great thing to be the wife of Mr. Jesus."

"Mr. Jesusbu doesn't have any children yet, does he?"

Jesus was not allowed to succeed to the kingdom, but stood quietly on the deck, silent and did not answer.

Ji Guoyuanyi's gaze moved away from Jesus' body, shook his head slightly, and couldn't help but say to himself:

"If Mr. Jesusbu not only has a wife, but also children, then Mr. Jesus, you are really a selfish person!"

"In order to be able to gallop freely on the sea, I left my wife and children behind."

"Without a man's care, if two orphans and widows want to survive in such a world, I'm afraid it will be very hard."

As he spoke, Jiguo Yuanyi's gaze fell back on Jesus.

Hearing this, Jesus Bu didn't know what he was thinking, he lowered his head slightly, and his fists were involuntarily clenched.

Speak deeply.

There is no doubt that Jesus Bu's mood has become very bad now, and Ji Guoyuanyi's words are tumbling in his mind, making Jesus Bu's brain blank.

Jesus Boo was never the kind of person who was ruthless and unrighteous, and if he were like that, he would never have been Shanks' companion at all.

But then again, Jesus Bu was also a very ego person, otherwise it would not have been possible to leave Usopp mother and son alone in the village of Sirob.

Usopp's mother, Bancina, died of illness, and it was clear that Jesus was missing as a father in Usopp's upbringing. Even after the death of Usopp and his mother, Jesus did not return to his hometown to visit the young Usopp and did not take Usopp and his son to his side.

Not to mention that the pirates have no fixed place to live and can't take care of Usopp's mother and son, the actual situation is that with the ability of the red-haired pirates, it is very easy to shelter Usopp's mother and son.

The reason they didn't do that was simply because Mother and Son Usopp didn't carry enough weight in Jesus' heart.

Jesus was a man of great selfishness and affection, and most of the time, selfishness overcame the deepest feelings of his heart.

The feelings for Usopp's mother and son, I'm afraid they are not necessarily as deep as they are for Uta

"Jesus Bu, give up being a pirate."

"Isn't it good to be by your wife's side as a husband?"

Ji Guoyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

Jesus Bu did not answer, but stood at the top of the staircase on the bow deck of the ship, and did not speak for a long time. Jesus' heart was in turmoil, and no companion ever spoke of such words.

Faced with the fate of the country, Jesus Bu didn't know how to answer for a while.

"It is worthy of being a general of the country!"

"Even if you don't use a knife, you can still kill a person!"

At some point, a figure appeared beside Jesus Bu, put his arm around Jesus' shoulder, and interjected.

Ji Guoyuan cast his gaze towards the comer, and a faint smile appeared on his face:

"Mr. Ben Beckman."

"I don't mean to kill anyone."

Ben Beckman took a cigarette in his mouth, took a puff, then exhaled a wisp of white smoke, patted Jesus Bu on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"There is no difference between killing a person's will and killing a person."

"Human beings have long been individuals from birth to adulthood."

"Jesus was able to follow his own will and live the life he wanted."

"Not only him, but the wife of Jesus, even the children of Jesus, they all have their own lives, their own adventures."

"We pirates are such a free bunch! Isn't it? ”

Freely!

This word seems to be a gold medal for avoiding death, no matter what it is, whether it is right or wrong, but as long as it is put on this gold medal for avoiding death, everything seems to become reasonable.

I won't get in the way of your freedom, but please don't get in the way of mine!

You have your life, but I also have mine!

"yes!"

"I want to live a free life!"

"What's wrong with that?!"

Jesus' eyes brightened a little, and he said firmly.

Ji Guoyuan glanced at the Jesus cloth that suddenly became full of energy, and couldn't help but shake his head, with a little pity in his eyes.

"Freedom!"

"That's really a handy thing."

"You don't have to take care of your family, you don't have to shoulder the responsibilities you should have, you don't have to do your obligations, and you don't have to let the person who has no 'freedom' raise the child."

"Sure enough."

"I really can't understand and comprehend the thoughts of the pirates!"

The same free-range son, Jesus cloth and the dragon are very different.

One, who went to sea for the sake of the "revolution", entrusted his son to his heroic father.

One, simply to live the adventurous life of her dreams, left the child to a young girl who has no power and no skills.

The same cost of raising a child, put on a vice admiral, is not felt at all. But if it is placed on a girl who has no skills, it can also be "the unbearable weight of life".

Bancina's illness is not unrelated to hard work.

Ji Guoyuan had no interest in continuing to talk, and after speaking, he turned his head to look at the sea.

Jesus Bu didn't argue any more, but told himself in his heart that he must not lose his freedom, and turned around and walked off the deck.

Ben Beckman was keenly aware of something, and walked to the side of the ship, leaned against the railing and smoked a cigarette, looking inexplicable.

"Beckman, what's wrong with that guy Jesus?"

"Your face doesn't look very good, is it sick?"

After a while, Shanks, who had settled in Uta, came to the deck and asked Beckman with some curiosity.

"I'm not sick, maybe Jesus is homesick."

Beckman puffed on his cigarette and said perfunctorily.

Hearing this, Shanks couldn't help but laugh heartily:

"Hahaha!"

"Is that guy three years old? Still homesick? ”

"Since you're homesick, wouldn't you just take the time to go back and have a look?"

It would be difficult for a person like Shanks to comprehend the gloom in Jesus' heart. Beckman also spread his hands when he heard this, looking like "I don't know".

Just smoking a cigarette by himself, his eyes glanced in the direction of Ji Guoyuanyi from time to time, as if he was watching.

Twilight falls.

Hongo and the rest of the red-haired pirates returned to their ships.

When they saw Jikoku Yuanichi on the deck, everyone's reaction was shock. And when Shanks announced that he would be living with them for a while, everyone's jaws dropped.

And Shanks didn't care about the shock of the crew at all, and pulled Jiguo Yuanyi to have a banquet.

Ji Kunienichi didn't know how long the brain circuits of these guys of the red-haired pirates were, and Hongo and the others originally looked surprised and wary, but after hearing that Shanks was going to have a banquet, everyone immediately left these things behind.

Even the Jesus Cloth, who was originally a little "emo", was very happy to help Lachee Lu, who still had the frustrated and sad look before.

Under the moonlight.

"Cheers!"

As Shanks shouted, the crew raised their glasses and cheered loudly. Ji Kunichi sat beside Shanks, just picked up his teacup and took a sip, in stark contrast to the crew of the red-haired pirates around him.

Shanks didn't care about this at all, happily changing glasses with his friends, drinking happily, and even dancing with a group of crew members hugging each other.

Jesus Bu grabbed the wine glass in one hand and joined Shanks in the center, putting his hands around the shoulders of his companions, laughing and dancing funny.

After Guo Yuan watched this lively scene and hastily filled his stomach, he left this banquet for himself.

After a night of partying, Shanks opened his eyes in his bedroom and sat up slowly.

Bright sunlight shines through the small window of the cabin and into the interior.

Shanks glanced at the sleeping Uta on the cot, reached out to help Uta lift the quilt, then shook his head and sat quietly on the boat.

I drank a lot of wine, and I was a little confused in the morning.

"I think I'm in a big problem for myself!"

"What am I going to do next?"

Shanks slowly stood up, walked to the small window, narrowed his eyes slightly in the sunlight, and whispered to himself.

Just as Jikokuenichi returned to the East China Sea and boarded the Red Foss.

Mihawk, Tenmasa and the others also left the G-8 naval fortress in a merchant ship and headed towards the next island where the record pointer pointed.

After the naval fortress has completed the repair of the ships and the supply of supplies, Mihawk and the others are ready to go to the capital of the seven waters, where they will change to a large ship to support their next voyage.

The sea is rough.

A merchant ship full of "patches" undulates in the waves.

Standing on the watchtower, Tenmasa carefully observed the situation at sea with a telescope, and then gave instructions to Abel in the wheelhouse from time to time.

Today, the sea is very stormy, and if it weren't for Tianzheng's rich experience in navigation, this small merchant ship would probably have to capsize.

"Bolu-"

At this moment, a sound sounded from Tianzheng's arms.

Tianzheng lowered his head in confusion, and quickly took out a phone bug from his arms.

"Moses Moses?"

"Chief of the Heavenly Administration. I have something important to report to you. ”

"The headquarters wants our Naval Crime Investigation Division to enter the North Sea and investigate the town of Fallenbus."

"There is an unknown source of Per lead ore entering the market, and the headquarters suspects that some of the escort officers have unclean hands and feet."

"You know. Perpeite is."

Without waiting for the other end of the phone to finish speaking, Tianzheng's expression froze, and he said directly in a deep voice: "I have now been seconded to the Sword of Dawn by General Ji Guoyuan. ”

"Is the Headquarters intervening with the Crime Investigation Division, or is it planning to involve the Sword of Dawn Navy with the involvement?"

The voice fell, and after a brief silence on the other end of the phone, he replied:

"Chief of the Heavenly Administration, since that's the case, then I'll bother."

Tianzheng heard the voice coming from the other end of the phone, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a condensed voice:

"Deputy Section Chief Sipuli!"

"No, Brigadier General Sipri."

"I have something to warn you of."

"Be careful, don't move."

"Since the headquarters has chosen you for this matter, you can handle it well!"

"If you involve people who shouldn't be involved, the consequences are not something you can bear!"
