Codex Pirates

Chapter 369 Beauty Trap

Back then in Hongye Village in the East China Sea, William, who was a local snake, had a good impression of Shanks. Although he rejected his offer, he still did his best to be a landlord. He not only invited them to get drunk in a tavern, but also helped them prepare supplies for the voyage.

Shanks said at the beginning that he must find an opportunity to invite William to drink. William thought that Shanks, who was the fourth emperor, might have forgotten what he said casually back then.

"But you're lucky!" Shanks said, then turned to look at the other side of the tent, rubbing his trouser legs impatiently like a child, his eyes full of expectation, he looked back at William, "You know, It is said that this small island has a special kind of fruit, which is extremely unpalatable, but the wine produced has a unique flavor. I came to this island specially to verify this legend. The wine is about to be ready, and you come too Come taste it with me!"

Shanks is still the same Shanks in essence. Even after becoming the Four Emperors, his heart is still full of the enthusiasm of an explorer. In order to taste a kind of fruit wine, he can go to such a deserted place.

Many of the members of the red-haired pirates stationed in this jungle with Shanks were recruited after Shanks left the East China Sea. Many of them have never been to Hongye Village, let alone met William with their own eyes.

Seeing that Shanks treated William, who came from the first half of the great voyage, with such enthusiasm, as if the two of them had known each other for a long time, he couldn't help but curiously asked the deputy captain of the red-haired pirates, Ben Beckman, who was smoking silently next to him: " who is he?"

"It seems a little familiar to me." After the man finished speaking, he couldn't help but rubbed the back of his head and muttered.

Ben Beckman took the cigarette from his mouth, and said a name lightly: "Morgan William."

The pirate who asked the question suddenly realized: "No wonder he looks familiar, I remembered, I saw him in the newspaper."

But then, the man frowned again: "What is he here for? I haven't heard the captain say that the two are friends before. This man is in the limelight now, so he didn't come to the New World to make trouble?"

"He's only here alone, and he won't mess around." Ben Beckman said calmly. As the brains of the red-haired pirates, he saw through William's character as early as when he was in Hongye Village.

William is not a person who likes to die. He left Akin, Selkirk and others on the boat and went to the meeting alone, just to reveal his sincerity. If he came here to make trouble, William would not do it.

While Shanks waited eagerly, the barrel of fruit wine was finally brought to him by the pirates of the Red Hair Pirates.

Shanks couldn't wait to scoop up a bowl, sniffed it, and poured it into his mouth.

The other pirates of the red-haired pirate group next to them also seemed to be informal characters. Other wine barrels containing fruit wine were brought up, and they also imitated Shanks' pie, directly taking bowls or cups to drink directly.

Lagi Lu, who is obese and can't leave his mouth, was an old member of the red-haired pirates in the East China Sea. He also met William. Stuffed it into William's arms, and then scooped a glass of wine from the wine barrel by himself, continued to nibble on the meat leg in his hand with the fruit wine with relish.

Due to the crude brewing process, the fruit wine in the wooden barrel was already quite cloudy. After Lackey Lu scooped it, a thin layer of oil and water floated on it.

William glanced at the not-so-clean wine bowl, took a bowl from the barrel, and poured it into his mouth. There was no unexpected miracle. After all, it was just local wine brewed in a crude way. , People who are used to good wine come to taste, the taste is actually average.

But Shanks pouted and drank three more bowls in a row, looking very happy.

It's not that Shanks can't taste the wine, but for him, the important thing is not to drink the wine in his stomach, but the process of finding the wine making materials. The wonderful experience of the journey is accompanied by the fruit wine brewed by himself. Don't have a flavor.

Shanks drank half a barrel of wine without stopping by himself, and didn't put down the wine bowl until he burped loudly.

William himself is not a small drinker, but looking at Shanks' behavior, he still can't help worrying about his sudden death at an early age.

"The two battles you fought in the East China Sea were really exciting. The Golden Lion Shiji and Garp were characters I wanted to defeat but never had a chance." Shanks slumped back on the wooden box, looking at William Said, "You are famous now, you are the most famous new pirate, what are you doing in the new world at this time? I know you didn't come here specially to visit me."

"Isn't it because I have taken a fancy to my head and want to go one step further and become the Four Emperors?" Shanks said half-jokingly.

It's just that as soon as he spoke, the originally relaxed atmosphere in the field became dignified.

Shanks's voice was not too loud, but the pirates around him still heard clearly, they put down their wine glasses and bowls at the same time, and stopped talking.

At this moment, Shanks, who has always seemed hospitable, is more like the Four Emperors who have power in the new world.

"Of course not." William turned a blind eye to the gazes from around him, and took another glass of wine and drank slowly, "If I want to take the head of the Four Emperors, I won't be so arrogant as to do it alone. Someone killed the golden lion Shiji, and fought with Garp and others in the East China Sea, which severely damaged his vitality and offended the world government and navy, so I came to the New World to find a way out."

Shanks was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, he slapped his thigh: "You finally figured it out, came to the new world to join me?"

"If I defect to you, can I still drink with you as equals like friends?" William shook his head.

"Who said it can't?" Shanks pointed to the surroundings disapprovingly, and said, "The people in this entire camp are all my friends!"

William looked into Shanks' eyes, the latter's eyes were sincere, it seemed that what he said before did not seem to be fake, William believed that if he really joined Shanks' red-haired pirates, Shanks would not give up on him Any airs will really treat him as an equal friend.

But because of this, William will not join the red-haired pirates. He is a character who can't bear to be under others, even if it's only in name, and he will be very unhappy with Shanks, a man who is so bold and congenial. It would be better to explicitly reject his solicitation from the beginning.

Besides, the red-haired Shanks is a ranger and explorer without the slightest ambition. He puts loyalty and pleasure first, and there is no conflict with William for the time being.

"BIGMOM has already sent people to Donghai to contact my people. She wants to marry her daughter to me. They have paid a lot of money to attract her. Do you have a daughter?" William joked with a deliberate expression of disgust.

Shanks looked around the camp. Not to mention his daughter, there was not even a woman in the entire forest, so he could only sigh in disappointment: "Charlotte Lingling is so despicable that she used a beauty trick."
