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

The atmosphere was tense and depressing. Mihawk's stern figure stood there. He was not concerned about trivial matters.

This incident was just a slight surprise to him.

After putting away the terrifying black knife, Queen Ye and Buggy lifted Crocodile and the other two and prepared to send them for treatment.

During this process, Buggy would occasionally look at Mihawk, and that look seemed to say, "If you're curious, just tell me."

Mihawk was obviously annoyed by Buggy's occasional "flirting" behavior.

When they put down the last Doflamingo, Mihawk's calm voice broke the silence: "I am only interested in the sword ghost. The reason I came here is

Because I believe that at some point in the future, this is the only force that will allow me to fight the Sword Demon as I please." After saying this, Mihawk resolutely picked up his iconic hat and turned to leave.

"What a weird guy." Buggy looked at Mihawk's receding back and shook his head helplessly.

Then he stayed in the tent for a while and then walked out.

The moment he stepped out of the tent, the sunlight and the obstruction of the tent entrance divided Bucky's body into two distinct parts of light and dark.

"Thank you, Shanks." Buggy looked at the pirates outside the tent who were busy carrying supplies, and said with a slight smile, "If you hadn't locked onto Blackbeard with your Conqueror's Haki, I wouldn't have had the chance to do it."

"Just a convenience." As soon as Buggy finished speaking, Shanks' voice rang out.

Shanks was seen sitting dejectedly on the side of the big tent, with empty bottles of wine placed beside him.

"But I didn't expect that you, Bucky, would develop your abilities to this extent."

"It was you who made me eat this devil fruit back then!" Buggy lowered his head and sneered, as if the memories of the past were replaying in his mind like a tide.

"Is this also the reason why you did this? From the moment I approached you, you've been using me...right? Bucky."

"..." Shanks' words left Buggy in a long silence.

Finally, Buggy's eyes became extremely sharp, and he said firmly: "That's right, from Buggy Express to the current Cross Guild, I went from being a small leader with only a group of pirate minions to the president with countless powerful cadres!

Whether it's Barrett, Crocodile, or Mihawk, the reason why they came here is inseparable from you, Shanks!

And I took advantage of your desire to rely on me to avenge the Terun Adventure Group!"

Buggy's words were like sharp needles, piercing Shanks fiercely.

Shanks' hand holding the bottle of wine suddenly stopped, and his long red hair covered his bearded and decadent face.

"Why...why? Why!?" Shanks gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, his tone gradually getting louder as he questioned.

"Haha, you ask me why? Shanks." Buggy sneered, "I was going to ask you why!!!"

"You and I were once on the ship of 'One Piece'. Everyone liked you, including the captain!

You have the best talents and a bright future!

Because of you...my dream was abandoned by me at that time!

You told me you were going to Raftelu on your own ship, and I believed you!

But what did you tell me on the day the captain was executed?

You said you don’t want to go for the time being? Haha, but I always thought you were the king of the next generation! Shanks. "

"Bucky..."

“Hahaha.” Bucky continued to sneer, “What gives you the right to say such a thing?

If you want to inherit Captain Roger's will, you can inherit it. If you don't want to inherit it, you don't have to inherit it?

Isn't it because of your strength that you are so proud of? It is because of your character that you defeated yourself in the war at the top!

Who do you think you are? Shanks!?! " Having said this, Buggy suddenly lowered his eyes and stared at his open hands.

In the palm of his left hand, Crocodile and other Seven Warlords of the Sea appeared, and in his right hand, Barrett, Red Count, and Big Mom's children from Cake Island appeared...

Buggy squeezed it hard, ambition written all over his face, "Power, authority! I have a better and more powerful power now than you did back then!"

"Bucky..." Shanks stood up suddenly. There was only a layer of tent cloth as thin as a cicada's wing between him and Buggy. The two of them leaned their backs against each other.

"Ambition, like a raging fire, has filled you."

"Shut up, Shanks! I have enough confidence to say such things at any time now!

The person who dared to hide in the corner like a mouse, peeping at the dream that he dared not touch, has become you!!!

I will inherit Captain Roger's will!"

Shanks was silent for a long time and sighed slightly. The sigh seemed to carry endless vicissitudes and helplessness.

"Bucky, do you really think that strength and power are everything? Do you really know Captain Roger's will?" His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was suppressing the waves deep in his heart.

Buggy snorted, “Shanks, you’re outdated.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only those with great strength and supreme power can control their own destiny.

And you, the former king, are now like this... What qualifications do you have to question me?"

Shanks turned around slowly, and through the tent cloth, his figure looked a little lonely.

"Baki, we spent so many years together on the Pirate King's ship, are those memories meaningless to you?

We chased our dreams together and experienced hardships together. Have you forgotten those days?"

"Memories?" Bucky raised a mocking smile, then thought of Trent, his eyes became more determined.

"Can memories be eaten? Shanks, you are too naive.

This world only looks at strength. No matter if it's luck or an accident, only if you have enough power can you make people respect you.

But you retreated at the critical moment. You failed the captain's expectations and our dreams."

Shanks shook his head slightly, "Baki, you are wrong. Strength and power are not everything. True strength comes from inner belief and courage.

When the captain led us to sail on the sea, what he pursued was not simply strength and power, but freedom and dreams.

We once fought for this goal together, have you forgotten it?"

Bucky's eyes flickered for a second, but quickly returned to being cold.

"Shanks, stop trying to fool me with those clichés.

I am no longer the naive Bucky I once was.

I know what I want, and I will do whatever it takes to get it.”

"Bucky, the path to strength and power is full of dangers and traps. Once you lose yourself, there is no turning back."

"Shanks."

“Bucky.”

"You are not qualified to teach me a lesson now. From now on, I will take my own ship to Raftel." After saying that, Buggy turned around and strode away, leaving Shanks standing there alone, looking at Buggy's receding back.
