Chapter 181: Shanks' vigilance
The sallow tentacles on David Jones's body lifted, and lightly touched the crow's head a few times, calming it down and no longer screaming, and the gray and blue eyes looked Shanks up and down.
Shanks finally saw with his own eyes this sea thief who had been stirring up the situation at sea recently, and under the sharp licking of David Jones's eyes, his heart was awe-inspiring.
An urge to rise up and protect his whole body came to him, but Shanks finally held back, it was too rude and too weak, not his style.
He was silent for a moment, then smiled, took the initiative to step forward, stretched out his right hand from under the black cloak, and said, "'Hades of the Deep Sea' David Jones, it's better to be famous than to meet. ”
David Jones looked at Shanks' right palm raised into the air, glanced at the severed left arm hidden under his cloak, smiled and shook his hand.
"I guess." Before David Jones spoke, he carefully observed the expressions of Reilly, Bucky, and Crocodall, and knew in his heart, "You're 'redhead' Shanks, right?" ”
"Looks like Captain David Jones knows my shallow name." Shanks took the initiative to use humble words, "It's an honor." ”
The two shook hands, and then let go.
David Jones and Shanks didn't use their domineering power at all, but the aura revealed was like a tightly fitting cover, enveloping the two of them, and the rest of them couldn't intervene at all.
"I wonder what your purpose is on my Horror Ghost?"
"In addition to catching up with Mr. Reilly and Bucky, of course, I am here to thank you, you saved Captain Roger's son Ace, and I will remember the kindness."
"For me, it's just a fair deal."
Shanks heard this, and glanced diagonally in Bucky's direction, wondering what the old friend had traded to get David Jones into the war.
As soon as he boarded the ship, he felt that there was something strange about this place, and he did not want to stay for long, so he chatted a few words and said some kind words about meeting again for a drink in the "new world", and he was ready to leave.
"Wait." David Jones stopped him.
Shanks stood on the side of the ship as usual, he looked at David Jones suspiciously, and asked, "I wonder if you have anything else to learn?" ”
David Jones asked with a smile: "According to my subordinates, 'Whitebeard' is the 'strongest man in the world', and he is now dead, so the remaining three 'Four Emperors' should be the three strongest in the world, right?" ”
Reilly smiled and silently lifted his glasses.
He thought to himself, Shanks was actually regarded as one of the prey, it is really rare, Roger, you still died too early, and many strange people and strange things cannot be seen.
Shanks also heard the meaning, but he didn't care, and said with a smile: "There are still many strong people in the world." I'm just famous. One day, you'll see some monsters in the 'Holy Land of Mary Joa'. ”
The tentacles on Davy Jones' face quirmed, and he thought thoughtfully, his eyes flickering, and finally said, "I'm looking forward to fighting monsters." ”
Shanks smiled and nodded at him, then jumped back onto his Red Foss.
His crew had already mourned on the warship, and then stepped on the gangplank and returned to the pirate ship.
However, the Red Foss will not be too far away from the two warships for the time being.
Because Shanks is ready to escort the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates home, help them, and give "Whitebeard" a solemn funeral.
The Horror Ghost is not the same as them.
Soon after, the Terror Ghost was heading for the Chambord Islands, where it was going to deliver Reilly to its destination before diving into the depths.
Before parting ways, the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates thanked David Jones once again.
And Bucky thought of something, ran to the side of the ship, he jumped on the gunwale, drew his dagger, and pointed to the sky.
Everyone was attracted by his sudden movement and looked at him.
Bucky glanced at Ace, then turned to Shanks, and exclaimed, "I've proven that there is no such thing as a destiny. Look, and when we meet again, you'll meet the real Bucky! ”
At the sound of his shout, the Terror Ghost shifted direction and headed off into the distance.
David Jones opened the lid of the compass and looked at the pointer above, only to see that it had been aiming at Shanks just now and began to spin again.
There are too many prey, more than one, two.
But the fight will soon begin.
——
Watching the horror ghost disappear completely, Shanks was still echoing in his ears with Bucky's generous statement, he didn't expect that the timid old friend would be emboldened today.
It seems that he also knew Captain Roger's last wishes, and knew the truth about Ralph Drew, probably Mr. Reilly told him, right?
He smiled and shook his head, still holding his mind.
The person Captain Roger has to wait for will be the "One Piece" who will go to the end, and Shanks believes that that person is Luffy.
He bet all his bets on Luffy.
Perhaps, though, he doesn't conflict with Bucky's bet.
David Jones doesn't seem to have any interest in "The Big Treasure", "Ralph Drew" or even "One Piece".
Strange to say, he seems to be more interested in the strong men of the sea.
Kaido, Charlotte Lingling, Shanks...... David Jones, who caused such a big battle in Maryford, will not be in peace in the coming days.
Who will be his next target?
There are also all kinds of weird abilities of David Jones, those ghosts floating in the waves, which are even more terrifying than Charlotte Lingling of the "Soul Fruit Ability".
Shanks, as the "Four Emperors", has long put life and death aside, which has brought him to this day, but he has never thought about what happens after death like this.
What if my soul were to be in the hands of David Jones after I died?
Shanks didn't change his face, but he was already thinking about how to deal with David Jones.
——
The Terrorphant soon sailed to the vicinity of the Chambord Islands, where you can see the rows of trees and the bubbles they secrete.
The Chambord Islands are not far from Maryford, and even if the live broadcast of the phone bug was pinched in the middle of the broadcast, the rumors of the outcome of the war more or less came here.
The whole island was boiling.
Some people say that the Whitebeard Pirates were defeated and annihilated, some say that the navy was defeated and all three generals were killed, and some people say even more outrageously, saying that the Davy Jones Pirates are bloodbathing Maryford.
Regardless, Reilly landed on the island from the Terror Ghost under such circumstances.
When the Horror Ghost dived into the deep sea, he still stood on the shore and waved, like a kind old man everywhere.
After a while, a woman with short black hair walked out from behind the tree with charming steps.
With a cigarette in her hand, she smiled and asked, "They're the Davy Jones Pirates, right?" ”
Reilly nodded, then sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "Xia Qi, to be honest, I'm starting to waver. ”
The last queen of the Amazon Lily asked, "Shake what?" ”
"Maybe the world has more than one answer, and we may be too stubborn, too much to believe in that prophecy."
"Who knows." Xia Qi blinked his eyes wide, "It's good to live a long time, you can always see new things, I didn't expect the 'Hades' to change his mind." ”
Reilly shook his head with a smile, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Your junior asked me to greet you." ”
"Hancock." Xia Qi took a sip, "Little kids with no conscience, they don't even know to come to see me." ”
However, she also knew that Hancock was unlikely to come, Amazon Lily couldn't do without Hancock, and even this time she went to Maryford, she was forced by the navy.
The two stood on the shore of the Chambord Islands, quietly waiting for the effects of the storm to spread.
