David Jones's tentacles moved and pointed to Shanks' face, which had been cut in half by the light of dusk.

"You gave up on the possibility that you would succeed in turning the world upside down from the start, thinking that you couldn't do it without Joey Boy's Awakening, so you waited passively."

"That's why Bucky was angry with you more than twenty years ago. If the world really needs a 'Joey Poi', why can't you be a 'Joey Poi'? ”

David Jones shook his head.

"But I don't interfere with your personal choices, and I'm not interested in your future as 'Joey Boe liberates the world and takes free adventures.'"

"I do have principles that I live by, but at the same time I'm also a pirate, and I've never been someone who wants to bring joy to the world. I want their fear and feed on it. ”

David Jones placed his pipe on the battlements, then suddenly reached out, grabbed Shanks's wrist, and slowly approached, looking at Shanks with a tilted head, the tentacles wriggling nimbly.

Even Shanks couldn't help frowning, his hands and feet tensed, and he was ready to attack.

"Whether it is your 'interests' or your 'mission', they are all pale and powerless words to me, and they can't move me."

"My goal was clear from the beginning, after 'Whitebeard', first 'Akainu', then 'Big Mom', and then, one of you."

David Jones spread out his other hand, there was a black compass in the palm of his hand, the lid opened automatically, and the hands above shook violently for a while, and then pointed at Shanks.

Shanks glanced down at the hands on the compass and was taken aback.

"Red-haired boy, you've found the wrong ally and the wrong person to talk to."

David Jones finally let go of his hand and burst out laughing.

Shanks withdrew his arm and took a step back.

At one point, he thought Beckman would be a prophecy that he would really lose his remaining arm.

But David Jones let go of him, which made him secretly relieved.

Shanks slowed down before saying:

"I know of a man who was the enemy of the world, much like you, and that was Locks. I'm sure you know what happened to him. ”

"Isn't the 'Joey Boy' you want to wait for also to be the enemy of the world?" David Jones picked up his cigarette again and laughed, "Besides, I'm no one else, I'm David Jones." ”

"I'm not Locks, and I'm not going to be knocked down by the wartime alliance of 'Joey Boy', you, and some 'Navy Hero.'"

"I don't think I'm going to be able to convince you now." Shanks' smile stiffened a little, "I'll still go to the 'aunt' side, if you change your mind, please contact me." ”

He took out a special phone bug, which is a pair, and can only talk between the two, and cannot talk to the third phone bug.

Shanks placed the phone bug on the battlements, bowed slightly, and said, "My crew is still waiting for me, so I'll take my leave." ”

David Jones bowed his head at him and watched him leave.

Shanks walked through the dark stone staircase of the tower, and when he reached the ground floor and pushed open the door, he found that the castle of Silent Island had been lit with fires everywhere.

Once again, he walked through the castle's stone brick path under the watchful eye of the pirates, and shortly after leaving the castle, he saw another acquaintance.

Bucky was arguing about something around the campfire, arguing with "Haiming" Apu and "Gang" Becky, when he saw Shanks coming, neither of the two behind him spoke, just stared at Shanks.

Shanks nodded at them, then waved at Bucky.

"What for?" Bucky walked over and spoke impatiently, "What are you doing with the captain?" ”

It was this topic that the three of them were arguing about.

Apu and Becky believe that the "redhead" has come to negotiate with the captain about the possibility of an alliance of the "Four Emperors".

That is, the "Deep Sea Hades" and the "red-haired" formed an alliance to defeat the "Big Mom" together, and divided the territory equally after the deed.

This is what normal pirates think.

Bucky directly denied this possibility, he knew his old friend too well, and it could be said that he was very disappointed in him.

Shanks does not have enough ambition and ambition to support the "Four Emperors Rivalry".

He still holds the plank called "Mission", rising and falling on the vast sea, silently waiting for the arrival of "Joey Boy".

Thinking about it this way, Shanks is still trapped on the Euro Jackson, still not getting off the ship, and he is still a trainee crew member of the Roger Pirates.

When Shanks heard this, he was in a trance for a while.

It didn't take long for him to realize that the "captain" Bucky was referring to was "David Jones" and not their common captain, "Roger".

He was a little displeased, but after a pause, he still said, "Maybe a battle between you and 'Big Mom' is inevitable...... But anyway, if you have nowhere to go, you can come to me. ”

Bucky pursed his lips and said, "I'm not going anywhere." We will win this war, and we will win it cleanly. ”

Shanks was a little surprised, with Bucky's former greedy and fearful personality, he would answer like this.

"Don't be rash, it's good to leave a way out."

Bucky lifted his leg and kicked Shanks in the ass, laughing and scolding, "Get out of here." ”

Shanks pursed his lips and said no more, he nodded to Bucky before turning to leave.

Once on the shore, he stepped onto his boat, looked back and saw that Bucky was back at the campfire, yelling at Apu and Becky.

It seems that this journey is destined to be fruitless, and they are even more determined than expected.

——

Recently, for some reason, there has been a steady stream of people asking to see David Jones.

First Bartolomeo, then Shanks, and now Marco who came on purpose.

The captain of the Ichiban team of the "Whitebeard Remnant" had short yellow hair on his head and a horse face, and came with the will of the "Whitebeard Remnant".

However, the big thing in front of David Jones is to start a war with the "Big Mom Pirates", and there is no time and no personnel to negotiate with the "Whitebeard Remnants".

"I understand." Marco looked at David Jones and said.

"This big war is not directly related to us, but sooner or later it will affect us. I would also like to take this opportunity to show our sincerity. ”

"If there's anything I can do, just tell me. I'll help you win this war against the Big Mom Pirates. ”

He wasn't surprised by the upcoming big fight between David Jones and Charlotte Lingling.

The rendering of the news press alone made him aware of the cause and effect.

Although he was anxious that he could not immediately bring the power of David Jones to Ace's aid.

But he couldn't change Davy Jones's will, he could only try to help.

He is not afraid to go to war with "Big Mom", because in the past two months, the "Whitebeard Remnants" have fought with the famous and surnamed pirates of the "New World".

Among them is the "Big Mom Pirates".

As long as they win this war, it can be regarded as relieving the pressure on Ace and them, at least there is no strong enemy of "Big Mom".

"Captain." Crocodall took the cigar from his mouth with one hand, walked up to David Jones, and whispered, "Marco is very strong and trustworthy, so I can let him join." ”

Instead of deliberately giving a biased evaluation because he had lost to the "Whitebeard Pirates", Klockdahl truthfully expressed his approval of Marko.

That is already an old thing, and the "Whitebeard Pirates" are now scattered and scattered, and the situation and status have changed dramatically.

Klockdahl didn't cling to his previous obsessions, he focused more on the situation in front of him.

David Jones heeded Crocodall's advice and said to Marco: "Then you can come with us to the 'pre-war meeting'." ”

"I'll live up to your expectations." Marco smiled.

The crowd arrived at the conference hall in the Grey Castle.

Marco saw that the core and elite of the Davy Jones Pirates were all present.

When they saw Marco, they chattered.

Marco nodded at them, sat down at random, and looked at the projection whiteboard in front of him, and the projection phone bug in front of the whiteboard.

The atmosphere here is completely different from the atmosphere of our "captain's meeting". Marco thought to himself.

The "Whitebeard Remnants" have been through too many bloody battles and lost too many familiar faces, causing the captains to get together and talk about topics that are often quite heavy and serious.

The pre-war meeting in front of us was solemn, but the participants all had a "sharp spirit" that the "white-bearded remnants" did not currently have.

This group of people really intends to kill "Big Mom" Charlotte Lingling and expand their power in one fell swoop, and they will get more for themselves.

This is good.

Marco nodded silently.

Arrita took the microphone and coughed a few times, motioning for her companions to be quiet.

She pressed the projection phone bug, and the meeting officially began.

"Before making a battle plan, we must first have a basic understanding of the enemy this time."

Alrita pressed the button on the phone bug and switched a projection map, which was a "pyramid".
