A sledgehammer breaks into pirates

East China Sea, Gothic Island.

This is an ordinary island that is not well-known in the East China Sea. There is an ordinary town on it, also called Gothic Town.

At this time in a tavern in this small town.

Shanks is sitting here all alone.

There was a bottle of wine on the table in front of him, and a knife hanging from his waist. He looked ordinary and didn't attract anyone's attention.

He was holding a reward warrant in his hand, and the photo on it was of a clown with a big red nose.

Yes, this photo is the reward for Bucky the Clown.

However, as a former crew member of One Piece, even as a trainee, the bounty is ridiculously low, only a mere three million beli.

There are two reasons for this. The first reason is that Bucky is a bad guy. After all, he is a man who has been in and out of the Grand Line and the New World several times, and even visited Sky Island.

But after the Roger Pirates disbanded, he completely abandoned his former identity and never mentioned his identity as a former Pirate King crew member to anyone.

After the execution in Rogge Town, he never left the East China Sea again. He just quietly became a little pirate in the East China Sea, with three or two big cats and kittens in his hands.

Because he is particularly keen on finding treasures and is low-key, there is nothing special in the East China Sea.

Therefore, Bucky has not come up with any tricks so far, and the bounty is very low.

Most people just think of him as a little guy.

On the other hand, it's also because Bucky's strength is real. Unlike Shanks, a fellow trainee who was also a trainee crew member but failed, his strength has not grown much over the years.

On the contrary, because it has been nestled in the East China Sea, its strength has dropped a lot.

Shanks has been staying in the East China Sea for a while, always wanting to find Bucky, an unlucky kid, and rekindle their relationship with him.

But unfortunately, there are so many naval bases in the East China Sea, but they can't catch this cunning guy Bucky.

Shanks was alone, so it was naturally difficult to find Bucky's whereabouts.

So till now, Shanks still hasn’t been able to see his good friend.

"Damn it, didn’t I say this guy was in Gothic Town? Where did he go?" Shanks glanced at the bounty order again, complained a little helplessly, and then put the bounty order away again.

But compared to Bucky, at least in terms of bounty money, Shanks seems to be better. Because he hasn't had a bounty on his head yet.

When he was on Roger's ship, he was just a trainee crew member, one of the only ones with no bounty on his head at all.

After the Roger Pirates disbanded and Roger died, Shanks It can be considered that there has been a lot of commotion. For example, when O'Hara was in the Western Sea, he fought with the navy with Orgrim.

Later, Mihawk often made trouble for him, and the two also caused trouble at sea. There have been several battles between swordsmen that shocked the world. Even Orgrim, Whitebeard and others paid attention to these battles.

But the problem is...Although Shanks said he would continue to be a pirate, he has not yet formed his own pirate group, not even a subordinate.

The navy looked at the situation, observed it again, and investigated.

After discovering that except for O'Hara in the West Sea, where he was coerced by that bastard Orgrim and had trouble with the navy, this guy was extremely honest!

They neither robbed nor caused harm to all parties, nor did they actively attack the navy.

It's just a little bit of petty theft from time to time, just to make ends meet.

In addition, he was alone and not a threat. In the end, he simply ignored this guy and pretended that he didn't exist.

He was not given a definition of a pirate at all, but was classified as a 'private master with unknown intentions'.

To put it simply, it's like Bartholomew Bear before the pirate flag is hung, or Fujitora Isho or something like that.

It is estimated that if this situation continues, as long as Shanks does not cause trouble himself, the Navy will have no idea of ​​​​taking action against him.

The sea is already messy enough, so don't add more trouble if you can.

After all, this guy is still very strong.

Feeling bored, Shanks opened the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a glass of wine.

At this moment, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a cool autumn breeze blew in.

The big men who were drinking were chilled, and they turned around to curse and look like they wanted to get angry.

As a result, when I looked back, I saw a man with eyes like a falcon, wearing a set of decent aristocratic clothes and a top hat, with a black broadsword behind him, standing at the door of the tavern, looking at him with a very cold expression. Toward the tavern.

In just a moment, everyone recognized this guy, and their original anger immediately faded.

Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk is the leader of the Warhammer Pirates, one of the four most powerful pirate groups in the world, with a bounty of up to 770 million Baileys.

It is estimated that all the famous pirates in the entire East China Sea have a bounty that is not as large as his own.

And this guy is also very famous in the East China Sea, because as a leader of the Warhammer Pirates, he hardly moves in the new world. Instead, he often appears in the East China Sea.

Many people swallowed their saliva, never expecting that such a ruthless person would appear in this indifferent tavern.

Although they were intimidated by Mihawk's name, many people were not particularly afraid, mainly because Mihawk had a rare good reputation among pirates.

He would not do anything cruel and bad for no reason.

His biggest notoriety is that he likes to fight against swordsmen from all over the world, regardless of the occasion.

Most of his crimes were the destruction of towns during duels.

Therefore, as long as you don't offend him, unless he is particularly bored, he will not kill people casually.

In the past few years, Mihawk has defeated almost all the famous swordsmen in the world. Except for those reclusive guys, there is almost no one who can be his opponent in the way of swordsmanship in the sea..

Except Shanks...

But Mihawk has never lost to Shanks in swordsmanship. Most of the time, the two draw, and a few times, the battle ends badly.

Because there was no way to tell the winner, Mihawk was particularly interested in Shanks.

And now, due to his continuous accumulation over the years, he has a vague reputation as 'the world's greatest swordsman'.

He may not be the strongest, there are still many people in the sea who are stronger than him, but in the way of swordsmanship, he is almost at the top!

In the past, there was a sharp aura on Mihawk's body, and when he stood there silently, he felt a slight sting.

But now, he no longer has any special aura on him. If it weren't for being so recognizable, having so many auras around him, and being so handsome, he would just look like an ordinary guy like Shanks.

He glanced at the crowd in the tavern, and then stopped in a corner. A smile appeared on his originally cold face.

"Shanks...You are indeed here."Mihawk called softly.

Shanks is a loner, and it is difficult to find Bucky in the East China Sea.

But Mihawk is very naughty. Don't look at him wandering around on the sea alone, but in fact , the Warhammer Pirates are behind him.

With the resources of the Warhammer Pirates, it is still safe to find someone in the East China Sea, especially recently, a top intelligence force like Happy Street has also been included in the Warhammer Pirates. Within the system of the thieves.

It is more convenient to do this kind of thing. After all, this bastard Shanks is also a romantic figure. Happy Street business is all over the world, including the East China Sea, and he goes there often.

Unlike Mihawk's happiness, Shanks felt a toothache when he saw Mihawk.

After all, you are also a big cadre under that guy Orgrim. You don't care about so many things in the new world, and you chase this little shit like me every day. What are you doing?

Is this man sick?

Seeing Mihawk striding towards him, Shanks also looked at him helplessly and said:"I said Mihawk, you...Don’t you feel sorry for Orgrim?"

Mihawk walked to Shanks' table, pulled out the seat, sat down very naturally, and then unceremoniously handed over the wine glass that Shanks had just poured into it before he even had a chance to take a sip. He got up.

After taking two sips to moisten his throat, Mihawk frowned slightly and said,"It tastes really bad."..."

"I can't compare to your family's big business. My life is very hard. It's good to be able to drink...."Shanks said unhappily.

"Why am I sorry for Orgrim? Mihawk suddenly asked.

Shanks' face twitched, and then continued:"Don't you feel ashamed that you spend his money every day and wander around all day long?" If you have time to trouble me, why not go back to the new world and help him do more things?..."

"I don't agree with your statement. The improvement of my strength is the improvement of the strength of the Warhammer Pirates, which is beneficial to the entire Warhammer Pirates. Therefore, it is reasonable for me to travel, hone my strength, and discuss with you. , so I don't feel sorry for Orgrim."Mihawk said very naturally.

Shanks looked at him, opened his mouth, and finally said feebly:"I have been a pirate for more than ten years, and I have never seen such a shameless person!"

For a moment, Shanks thought that he might as well join the Warhammer Pirates. Look at the Warhammer Pirates, they are so free!

Mihawk is famous all over the world. Running around and spending a lot of money. It is said that you don't have to pay for going to Happy Street. He is a senior member. Even his behavior can be called"training strength". In fact, it is just a free prostitution. Huh?

If that's the case, I think I can do it too!

Huh? It's strange, why do I feel so envious?

"You've been a pirate for more than ten years and you haven't had a bounty on your head....I really don't know how to evaluate your pirate career. Mihawk said with a smile.

This sentence is very heartbreaking!

Shanks looked bitter, picked up a wine glass and poured himself a glass of wine.

After taking two sips, he continued helplessly. :"I think if you hadn't been chasing me all the time, I would have found at least five partners by now, formed a relatively powerful pirate group, and were having a party with singing and dancing in a small town. Are you swaying away the looted treasure?...Instead of being like now, I'm avoiding you while looking for that bastard Bucky, and I can't even find any of my friends."

"Maybe, but I think this kind of thing depends on fate....It probably has little to do with me. Mihawk shook his head and said very seriously.

"you..."Shanks felt like his old blood was about to spurt out.

After forcibly suppressing his resentment and calming down his mood, Shanks said,"What are you going to do this time? Are you going to fight again?""

"Of course, I have a lot of experience in the last battle. During this period, I seem to have made progress again, so I just came to you to confirm it."Mihawk nodded and said without hesitation.

Shanks felt like he had a lot of experience. Mihawk, this bastard, would fight him every time he found him.

After the fight, he turned around and left. , disappeared for the past three or two months, and would always find him again in strange places, and then start fighting again.

The cycle repeated, making Shanks miserable.

Although in this process, he felt that his strength was also rapidly increasing. enhanced, but...Very passive!

It was as if he was being raped, and he was unable to resist, so he could only hypnotize himself into enjoying the feeling silently.

There are benefits, but I feel very unhappy!

But unfortunately, he couldn't avoid Mihawk, let alone the Warhammer Pirates.

It's uncomfortable. Captain

Roger took another sip of wine in pain. Mihawk didn't think much about it. In his opinion, this was something that was completely beneficial to both parties. He also It can be felt that Shanks' strength is the same as his own, and he is advancing rapidly.

Then he should be very happy, right?

I feel happy to help others....

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. I think the weather is sunny today, which is a good day for a duel...."Mihawk directly invited a fight without waiting for Shanks to speak.

But before he finished speaking, the phone bug he was carrying suddenly rang.

Mihawk frowned slightly, and when he took it out, he saw that it was the contact from the Warhammer Pirates, so he looked at Shanks and said,"Don't move around here, I'll buy two oranges."..."

Shanks? ? ?

Answer the phone bug, answer the phone bug, what oranges should I buy?

I clearly know you are looking for an excuse, but why do I feel like you are taking advantage of me?
