Chapter 160: The Past/True Identity/Old Things Revisited
"There are all sorts of reasons......" Bucky glanced at Hachi, because he didn't know how close Reilly was to Hachi, and there were some things he couldn't say.
Reilly knew what Bucky was thinking at a glance and said:
"Hachi saved my life, and then you met me when you came and went. When we went to Fish-Man Island together, I didn't say that I went to Fish-Man Island alone, or I went to Hachi for a drink. ”
Hachi smiled and remembered that time.
Bucky remembered, too, but Mr. Reilly had always had such a temperament that he could never have guessed that he was going to meet a fish-man.
"Hachi, why didn't you say you knew Mr. Reilly earlier?"
"Ah, you didn't ask me, and I didn't know you knew Mr. Reilly."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter."
Bucky originally wanted to ask Hachi how he saved Mr. Reilly, but suddenly lost interest.
Because of the appearance of Mr. Reilly, he couldn't avoid the thoughts that had been popping up in his mind before.
Ace, Ace, Ace...... Captain Roger's son.
He's about to be killed in front of us, and in the same publicly humiliating way as Captain Roger!
The more Bucky thought about it, the tighter his brow furrowed.
"Mr. Reilly." Xiaoba asked him the question he was concerned about at this time, "What kind of big event did you just say, and you are also one of them?" ”
Reilly was stunned, and then couldn't help but smile helplessly:
"Yes, the cause is very simple, I rescued a group of slaves, but one of the mermaids was targeted by the Draconians, and the mermaid knew the Straw Hat Pirates......"
"The Straw Hat Pirates?" Bucky reacted suddenly, "Those fools who killed the Draconians, are they?" ”
"Who is it?" Hachi didn't think about it yet.
"That's it...... Ah, by the way, I remember, you haven't seen them yet. All in all, a bunch of idiots, ...... by David Jones Captain David Jones they were taught twice. ”
Reilly smiled and said:
"It's them, a bunch of messy guys, but I don't hate them. All in all, the Draconians were beaten, the 'Yellow Ape' arrived, they were bounced away by the 'Tyrant Bear', and the matter came to an end. ”
"'Tyrant Bear'? Is there anything else about him here? ”
Bucky remembered the huge figure he had seen on the dreaded three-masted schooner holding a Bible.
"Hmm." Reilly nodded, not dwelling on it, "I sent that mermaid and her companion Starfish back to Fish-Man Island, and then I met you when I wandered the streets." ”
"I see......" Bucky nodded in realization.
At this time, Hachi approached again:
"Well, Bucky, you haven't said how you and Mr. Reilly met."
"It's all said, don't stick to me."
Bucky once again pushed Hachi's long mouth away in disgust, and after realizing what the problem was, his expression froze, and he glanced at Reilly next to him.
Reilly blinked, chuckled, and said:
"Haven't you told the truth yet? What is this, all these years have passed, is there any need to keep it secret? On the contrary, you and your current companions are open and honest, and there are many problems that can be solved together, right? ”
"yes, yes." Hachi nodded.
Bucky gave Reilly an embarrassed look, then Hachi, and finally told the truth.
"You used to be a trainee crew member on the Roger Pirates?!"
Even Hachi showed a look of surprise at this time.
Bucky has to admit that he's a little dark right now.
This kind of secret identity that everyone doesn't know about him, and once this identity is revealed, the impact is huge, which brings him a strong sense of coolness.
It's a pity that Hachi only made him cool for a while, and then his attitude towards him returned to normal, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You said it earlier." ”
Then, Hachi looked at Reilly and thought for a while, then his eyes widened in surprise: "Ah, in this way, Mr. Reilly, you are the 'right wrist' of Roger, the 'One Piece?!' ”
Bucky glanced at Hachi obliquely, thinking that you had finally reacted.
Reilly nodded with a smile and said, "That was the old days, and now I'm just an ordinary coater in the Chambord Islands." ”
Bucky didn't think Reilly was an ordinary coater, and the fact that he was able to get the merfolk back safely meant that he hadn't forgotten his habit of fighting.
The three of them began to talk about their old memories, although they did not intersect with each other, there was always something to feel together.
However, Reilly, who had a sharp mind, soon noticed that Bucky was uneasy, and knew that something big must have happened, and it was inconvenient to say it directly.
So he took the initiative to say to Hachi, "Hachi, I still have some things to talk about with Bucky alone, and I will have a chance to drink with you again tomorrow." ”
"Oh, yes."
Hachi was easily sent away.
Reilly watched Hachi's back disappear before turning around and staring at Bucky.
Bucky looked like a son who had been caught by his father and was making a big woman's belly outside, and he shrunk his head.
"Say, what's going on?" Reilly sat down on a stone and patted the vacant spot next to him with his palm, "I thought you would be happier when you and I reunited." ”
Bucky sat down, hesitated, and told Ace about it.
Reilly was already shocked when he heard the beginning, but he didn't interrupt and waited quietly for Bucky to finish everything.
Although Bucky's words were full of side evidence, and none of them directly pointed to Ace as Roger's son, Reilly still believed most of it, because this was Roger's style.
"I hadn't heard of him having a son before." Reilly speculated, "It should be that he married and had children after disbanding the pirates, so it seems that he is barely the same age as Ace." ”
"That's what I thought too."
Bucky had been holding back these things for a long time, and now he was finally able to find someone to confide in, and he only felt relieved.
Moreover, the person to whom this confiding was Mr. Reilly.
With Mr. Reilly here, we can definitely solve this big problem at hand.
Reilly was still reasoning: "Can you help that Roger guy hide from the world...... It's either 'Whitebeard' or Karp. ”
"Karp?!" Bucky was taken aback, "Doesn't Karp hunt us down often?" Will he help Captain Roger? ”
"Roger and Karp have teamed up to defeat Locks, what's so surprising about that?" Reilly said, "I didn't expect you, Roger, to leave us such a big surprise without a sound......
"Then ......" Bucky hesitated for a moment and asked, "are we going to save Ace?" ”
Reilly glanced at Bucky:
"You've been struggling with this lately, haven't you? I understand what you think, although we don't know Assu, but after all, we are Roger's children, and it is difficult to turn a blind eye...... It's just that the Roger Pirates have long since disbanded, and the two of us can't do anything alone. ”
"We can work with 'Whitebeard' and by the way, find out if Ace is Captain Roger's child."
"That's a way to do it......" Reilly said, hesitating.
He didn't do pirates, he worked as a coater in the Chambord Islands, and the top brass of the Navy Headquarters actually knew about it, but considering that the cost of arrest was too high, and he was completely incognito, he didn't plan to ask about the world, so the Navy Headquarters turned a blind eye to him.
If Reilly is exposed to the world in the rescue of Ace in the operation this time, the Navy Headquarters will not be able to pretend not to see it.
In the future, Reilly will be greeted by endless harassment.
However, if you don't save Ace, I'm really sorry for Roger.
Even "Whitebeard" can plan to fight with the Navy Headquarters for the sake of the son of the deceased, and he, as the deputy captain, does nothing for the sake of a stable life, which is too ......
At this point, Bucky interrupted Reilly's thoughts:
"And Shanks, isn't that guy now one of the 'Four Emperors'? Make it clear to him, let him send the fleet too, two 'Four Emperors', enough to ride on the head of the Navy Headquarters and......"
Bucky said this, but was suddenly stunned.
He reads newspapers, and Shanks has a good relationship with Whitebeard, and they often meet.
Every time they meet, they make headlines, making people wonder if they are brewing some big conspiracy together.
"Whitebeard" should know Ace's identity, so did he tell Shanks?
"Whitebeard" is now facing pressure from all directions, not only from the Navy Headquarters, but also from "Hundred Beasts" and "Big Mom".
If Shanks chooses to help "Whitebeard" after knowing Ace's identity, then "Whitebeard" will definitely be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Now the question is, did "Whitebeard" talk to Shanks?
Did Shanks get it?
What is his attitude?
The more Bucky thought about it, the more annoyed he felt, and gritted his teeth: "Shanks! ”
"Don't be too arbitrary!" Reilly had already guessed what Bucky was thinking, and said, "Maybe Newgate didn't say anything to Shanks." ”
"Mr. Reilly, don't talk to him!" Bucky yelled, "He's changed, he's changed a long time ago!" On the day Captain Roger died, I told him that I wanted to go with him to 'Ralph Drew', and the guy refused, and he actually refused! He knew that all of us felt that he was the most qualified to be the next 'One Piece', and I wanted to help him, but he refused! ”
Reilly looked at Bucky's irritable appearance, and was silent for a while, before opening his mouth again and saying:
"Bucky, what I said may be hard to hear, but Shanks was the right one. You two, even if you go to 'Ralph Drew' that year, it doesn't make any sense. ”
