At the beginning, I summoned Li Jing, who is very cold, and I will fight against Hawkeye!

Looking at Shanks' calm and deep eyes, Buggy stared at him for a while, then turned his head and looked back at the treasure in front of him.

His eyes revealed a hint of mixed emotions.

“Shanks, ever since the Roger Pirates disbanded, we have taken different paths.

I am living a very happy life now. I have even become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and have many followers. Their admiration for me is incredible. "Baki said proudly

At the same time, he looked around and saw his companions who were stunned by Shanks's domineering power.

“If you hadn’t shown me mercy, I’d probably be lying on the ground like them now!” Bucky continued, with a hint of self-mockery in his eyes.

He was well aware of the gap between his strength and Shanks'.

After that, Buggy stared at Shanks's prosthetic limbs and the scar on his chest, and couldn't help but sighed: "Although you survived, you also experienced a near-death experience at that time, or I have already guessed that it was Vice Captain Rayleigh who saved you!

I know that you are a strong person with firm beliefs and an indomitable spirit.

However, I am just an ordinary pirate, without your high aspirations and abilities."

Bucky shook his head helplessly. “So, what can you expect me to do to help you?” There was a hint of powerlessness in his voice.

Although he and Shanks once shared a past, their status and pursuits are now very different.

"Baki." Shanks said softly, "The pirate groups under Big Mom's group are very large. She has 39 daughters and 46 sons. Excluding some weak and young ones, there are no less than 40 pirate groups that can participate in the war.

Kaido's Beasts Pirates should not be underestimated. In addition to the Three Calamities, the Flying Six, and others, he also has more than 500 people with special abilities who have been transformed by artificial devil fruits...

But this is not enough, far from enough!

If we want to deal with the Terun Adventure Group, this amount of combat power is simply not enough to compete with them!" At this point, Shanks's face became solemn: "Baki, your Joker Pirates have the largest number of people besides these two!"

"Shanks!" Buggy suddenly shouted, "Do you want my brothers to die in vain? You bastard!!"

"Not just you! By then, the Navy, the World Government, the Revolutionary Army and other forces will all be involved!" Shanks responded loudly.

"What the hell do you want to do? Shanks!" Buggy asked angrily.

"The captain was able to defeat the Rocks Pirates in the Valley of the Gods and successfully killed Rocks.

Why can't I do the same thing?" Shanks said with a firm look in his eyes, and at the same time drew out the Ace from the two swords on his waist.

"..." Looking at Shanks, Buggy fell silent, especially the cold light flashing from Ace made him feel a little uneasy.

"Although I didn't participate in the battle of God Valley, at least I know that Captain Roger can hold Rocks back, but Shanks you..." At this point, Buggy paused, and then continued: "You were just a trainee at the time, and your strength should not be strong enough to compete with Rocks."

After saying this, Bucky stopped talking. After all, everyone present understood what he meant.

Teren hits you like a child!

Shanks didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, he slowly raised his eyes, looked at Buggy and said, "If you are willing to help me, I will help you."

Hearing this, Bucky's brows furrowed even more and he asked in confusion, "How do you want me to help you?"

Shanks smiled and said calmly, "I need your pirate group."

When Bucky heard this, he immediately shook his head and refused, "No! I can't let my people die in vain."

Shanks seemed to have expected Buggy to answer like this, so he threw out another condition: "I have heard that the member countries of the World Government are very dissatisfied with the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. If I am not mistaken, the World Conference next year will abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea system."

After hearing this, Baki's face changed and he said in surprise: "Masaka..."

He is well aware of the benefits that the identity of Shichibukai brings him. If he loses this identity, he will face a lot of trouble.

Shanks saw Buggy wavering and continued, "If you don't do something now, you will be nothing when the Shichibukai system is abolished."

Buggy fell into deep thought, wondering if what Shanks said was credible.

At this moment, Shanks limped forward, his eyes firm and deep.

He slowly said, "I need a certain amount of power to negotiate with other guys now. If your Joker Pirates help me, we'll be done with it.

I will make you one of the Four Emperors." Hearing this, Buggy's eyes widened, and a surge of excitement and desire surged in his heart.

"Four Emperors!" Buggy muttered to himself, his voice filled with incredible excitement. His pupils were fixed on Shanks, as if he wanted to engrave this promise deeply in his mind.

For Buggy, becoming one of the Four Emperors means endless glory, power, wealth, and a firm foothold in the New World.

This is the position that every pirate dreams of, and now Shanks has extended an olive branch to them.

Shanks looked at Buggy quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he had already expected Buggy's reaction.

"You are still the captain of the Buggy Pirates. Hongo and I are just joining your pirate group and serving as bargaining chips in negotiations with other forces."

"You join my pirate group..." Buggy did not agree immediately. He knew very well that there might be huge risks behind Shanks' proposal.

Shanks was not in a hurry, he believed that Buggy would make the right choice in the end.

After all, he had been watching Buggy's rise silently from the beginning. From teaching Luffy to the various events that followed, everything was under his control.

Even the matter of Buggy inheriting the Red Hair Pirates' pirate group was handled by him personally arranging for Hongo to handle it.

Today, his Red Hair Pirates no longer exist, and his once trusted companions have all met with misfortune: Beckman was crippled by the dragon servant Thor, Jesus was shot to death, Lakiru had both his hands cut off, Lime Jones and Gab were captured, and Bendik, Punch and Zed died on the battlefield.

Except for Hongo, he lost almost all his capable men.

But if the Joker Pirates could join forces with Shanks, things would be very different!

Don't underestimate the deterrent power of the Great Pirate Group. Even the World Government or the Navy dare not take it lightly when facing such a powerful force.

After all, not every group is the Tron Adventure Group.

And now the Buggy Pirates and the many pirate groups under them will undoubtedly become the greatest help to Shanks.

To put it bluntly, it's a typical case of getting something for nothing!
