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

Before Tren leaves for Soft Island, New World, to Totland Sea, Garya Island

A ship full of clown characteristics led by no less than fifty different pirate groups was moving forward at a rapid speed...

In the main ship's conference room, Buggy, the captain of the Joker Pirates, sat on a comfortable sofa. His iconic red nose and blue hair stood out.

However, at this moment he was sweating profusely and holding the wine glass in his hand nervously, as if he was going to crush it.

Buggy forced a smile, but he couldn’t hide the fear in his eyes. “I didn’t expect you two to suddenly board the ship! Haha.”

The two people sitting opposite were Crocodile and Hawkeye Mihawk.

Crocodile has a slicked-back hair, a long horizontal scar on his face, an earring in his right ear, and a cigar in his mouth, with smoke curling around his lips.

"I didn't expect that..." Crocodile, who had a golden hook with scorpion venom hidden in his left hand, patted Buggy's head, and then put on a black fur coat, looking very majestic.

Crossing his legs, he said in a low and magnetic voice: "That man is still alive!"

On the other side, Hawkeye Mihawk sat quietly, his short black hair neatly combed, and his pair of eagle-like sharp yellow eyes revealed a kind of indifference and ruthlessness.

He had a short beard, a black hat with white fluff on it, a burgundy patterned shirt, a black windbreaker, and white trousers. He also had his legs crossed, and his black boots were shaking slightly.

An exquisite cross-shaped knife hung on his chest, and the famous black knife Night was placed diagonally beside him, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

He took a sip of red wine and said calmly: "I just want to challenge myself."

Looking at these two guys, only Bucky himself knew the pain in his heart, but he still said tremblingly

"Shanks said that I am..."

“Huh?” Before Buggy could finish his words, Crocodile and Hawkeye turned their heads and stared at him at the same time.

Buggy was frightened by the two of them and trembled all over. He quickly changed his words: "Haha! I am the official spokesperson for you all!" Then he cursed Shanks madly in his heart.

Just then, Shanks' voice came from the door: "You two."

As the words fell, a limping figure with the light behind him appeared at the door and walked in slowly.

"Bucky is very timid, don't scare him!" Shanks teased with a smile.

"No way, this voice, I thought it was just a rumor spread by that guy..." Crocodile muttered to himself, with a hint of surprise in his eyes

"Red hair, Shanks."

"You're still alive, that's good." Hawkeye said calmly. He had already lost interest in the red-haired man whose hand was broken, let alone now.

At this point, Shanks' true face was completely revealed.

His hand was still habitually placed on the hilt of the knife, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled: "I'm glad you can come."

Looking at the red-haired man's eyes, Crocodile was shocked. He subconsciously looked away and sighed inwardly.

"Despite his physical disability, the sense of oppression emanating from this man is still so strong."

"Hey, hey, hey! Shanks!" Buggy didn't care whether the red-haired man's oppressive feeling was strong or not. His upper body quickly left his seat and rushed to Shanks like an arrow. He hugged his neck tightly and pulled him aside.

"What's going on with these two?" Bucky said through gritted teeth

“Didn’t we agree on this? I help you, you join me, and I’m the captain…but what’s going on with these two guys?

Without saying a word, they boarded our ship halfway!"

"Haha." Facing Buggy's question, Shanks showed his signature smile and tried to change the subject, "Baki, we can't become the Four Emperors just by the two of us.

With them around, your position can be secure. After all, my strength is not as strong as before, and it is difficult for me to control the situation. "

“Don’t you still have the domineering aura?” Buggy asked anxiously.

"All I have left now is Haki." Shanks smiled helplessly.

Hearing this, Buggy was obviously stunned. He stared blankly at Shanks who was smiling in front of him, then slowly loosened his hand and snorted coldly, "It's obvious that you wanted to deal with Jenny Tren yourself, and you found so many excuses, humph!"

After Buggy finished speaking, he muttered, "Forget it, since I am a kind-hearted man, I will let my pirate group take care of you from now on!

But it's also possible to recruit one or two more younger brothers."

While Buggy and Shanks were teasing each other, Crocodile on the side had already vaguely guessed Shanks' real purpose this time.

Yu thought to himself, "Looks like I'm in big trouble."

Unlike Hawkeye, Shanks wrote in the letter to Hawkeye: "Come quickly, Kenki is here, we can fight 1V1." Then our Mr. Mihawk drove a small boat and rushed over from Kraikana Island.

But the letter to Crocodile was much more elaborate, and it mentioned [the boss behind the scenes, the actual controller, the large base of fifty pirate ships, etc....]

This is still very attractive to Crocodile who escapes from Impel Down and returns to the Grand Line to start from scratch, especially the size of this pirate group. Of course, the most important thing is the signature of the letter.

After thinking for a long time, Crocodile looked up at Shanks and said, "I don't think this is a good idea. Tren's group is very powerful.

What we're doing now is a group of five-year-olds taking one-year-olds to trouble a group of monsters."

Hawkeye did not refute Crocodile's words, although only by fighting with Li Jing could he experience the feeling of being crushed and making progress again.

"Red Hair. We can't beat them." Hawkeye said honestly.

Back then, he was called Xiao Xiang Xiang, when he had a broken hand, he was called Shanks, and now that he has fallen in love with someone else, he is called Red Hair?

(￢_￢) Shanks glanced at Hawkeye, then looked back at Crocodile, walked to the sofa and sat down

"But what if it's not just us?" Shanks smiled and drank the red wine in the glass.

"What do you mean?" Crocodile frowned, "I also took Big Mom and Kaido into consideration."

"That's why I said 'not to us'."

"Masaka?!!" Crocodile took a deep breath, listened to Shanks's pronunciation, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

He stared at Shanks so hard that even the hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but exert force.

"Do you have any backup plan?" Crocodile asked with a frown.

"I guess so! But they don't need me to notify them." Shanks said with a smile.

"Navy." Mihawk's eagle-like sharp eyes raised slightly, as if he had thought of something.

Shanks smiled but continued drinking.

Seeing Shanks like this, Crocodile's eyes became more serious, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment of silence, he spoke word by word: "World Government..."
