[One Piece] The White Wolf of the Red Foss

Shanks was drunk.

Drunk.

The drunk walked erratically, didn't even go back to the captain's cabin, and fell directly on the deck.

Today's moon is thinly curved, hidden in the dark clouds, the silvery white moonlight spreads on the deck, and the sea surface is sparkling, which is a scene that can only be seen by the sea at night.

Shanks drank so much that his vision was blurred, he blinked, and the moon gradually distorted, gradually turning into the appearance of a person.

It's getting clearer.

He seems to be standing in a noisy forest with a childhood self wearing a straw hat beside him.

Standing side by side with Bucky, he was out of tune with the pirates who were exchanging things with each other, and he tried his best to show his maturity.

Is he... so drunk that he started reminiscing about the past?

Shanks laughed at himself, and began to look for the figure he wanted to see.

In fact, there is no need to look for it at all, his moon can always attract his attention at the first time.

The other party raised his head and was talking to Marco who was sitting on the stone. He didn't know what he was talking about.

Under the sun, he stood in the shadow of a lush tree, his face was as white as jade under the sun, as if Marco had said something, he lowered his head and puffed up his cheeks dissatisfied.

Shanks noticed it when he was a child, the corner of his straight mouth wanted to raise, but he forced it back, turned his face away, but his eyes always glanced back unconsciously.

The ears covered by the red hair and the straw hat were red enough to bleed, but he just didn't want to swallow the loss.

Usually he is not such a face-saving person, but for some reason, being defeated by the other party makes him very sad.

He peeked at the movement over there, watched as Marco reached out to touch Akales' head in the middle of his speech, and then pointed to their side.

Shanks suddenly became tense, and fine cold sweat broke out from his back. He had never been so nervous when he participated in the battle for the first time, and his heart seemed to be jumping out.

Akales glanced here, then turned back, reached out and took out the pendant around his neck. At the bottom was a wolf tooth with a blue crystal on it, shaking non-stop ,very beautiful.

Marco nodded helplessly, and then yawned lazily.

Yakales put back the necklace and sat quietly on the ground with his eyes lowered, as if in a daze.

Shanks put his hands in his pockets, and only took out a half-bitten piece of chocolate. He thought about it for a while while holding the piece of chocolate in his mouth, as if there was nothing else to take out except the straw hat and the saber around his waist.

What... can I exchange the pendant on the other party's neck?

It's not that he likes it, but he simply wants to exchange gifts with the other party. In this case, maybe he can make friends.

At this moment, Bucky poked his arm suddenly, and whispered mysteriously: "Shanks, did you see the pendant on that guy's neck? That crystal looks very valuable!"

Shanks was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced in Akales' direction.

The latter raised his head at some point, and was looking at them coldly, as if Bucky's voice, which was so small that it could only be heard by the two of them, was heard by the other party.

Can't be hated!

Shanks sounded the alarm in his heart, frowned and warned Bucky: "Don't look, that guy's things are so easy to grab."

"Huh! If you don't grab it, don't grab it, who cares!" Bucky snorted coldly, knowing that he couldn't beat the opponent, so he could only verbally be arrogant.

Shanks looked over again, but the other party had lowered his head again at this time, and he didn't know what he was looking at on the ground.

He blushed and felt even more ashamed, and the little courage he had mustered disappeared at this moment.

Let's wait for later... Everyone is a pirate, and we will definitely meet again!

It's a pity that this time they parted, they didn't even meet once.

"Beckman, do you want to send the boss back?"

"He's really drunk this time."

The captain fell drunk on the deck, and everyone lowered their voices.

"Boss seems to be talking about something."

Everyone held their breath, leaned close to Shanks, and listened carefully to what the drunken captain wanted to say.

After a while, Lagi asked softly, "Who is Yaka?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of it." Jesus Bu shook his head, gossiping, "Is it the name of someone the boss has a crush on?"

Beckman gently added the two words that Shanks hadn't said, "Yaka...Les."

"Ah..." The others fell silent when they heard the name.

Akales, a name belonging to the dead.

It also belongs to the owner of those reward orders posted in the captain's room.

The next day, Shanks woke up from his drunkenness, his head was not only dizzy, but also hurt badly.

He stepped out of the cabin, his eyes narrowed by the sunlight.

"Yo, boss, I wanted to call you."

"How do you feel, do you want some hangover soup?"

"We've already seen the outline of the island, we'll be there soon!"

The noisy voices of the crew made Shanks sober, he smiled, stretched his waist, and regained his vitality.

"Little ones, head towards the next island at full speed!"

"Oh!!!"

This is a bustling and open island with a bustling port where not only naval warships but also pirate ships and merchant ships are moored.

This means that on this island, pirates can move freely and don't need to care about the navy patrolling the streets.

There are always some islands that welcome pirates. They spend a lot of money and are the most welcome guests of the island bosses.

It's rare for Shanks not to go to the tavern, but he just wandered around the island casually. He likes this vibrant island very much, and he is in a good mood.

Wandering around, he saw a small building not far in front of him that didn't fit into the building next to it. In the middle of the third and fourth floors, there was a small wooden hut with only a very short floor. high.

The wooden door can only accommodate one person to enter, and on the door, there is a dilapidated plaque, the handwriting on it is almost unclear, and there are vaguely the words fork and book.

Is it a bookstore?

Shanks tilted his head to look around, a little curious about who was running the shop inside, and the business must not be very good in such a dilapidated small shop on such a bustling street.

Not only why, Shanks, who doesn't like reading books, pushed open the door and bent down to enter it.

There was a smell of rotting wood inside, obviously it hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

There is a counter by the door, but no one is there, and further inside are rows of bookshelves full of books.

"It's a customer. It's been a long time since a customer has set foot in the shop." An old voice suddenly sounded.

Shanks blinked, looking left and right.

"Here, below!" the voice rang again.

Shanks then looked down and saw an old woman with a cane that reached his knees coming out of the counter.

"Hi," he bowed politely and said with a smile, "I'm sorry I didn't see you just now."

"It's okay, it's okay, you are a guest, and few guests can see my place." The old woman looked very happy, and said with a smile, "Just read it, the books here are all about you."

"About... about me?" Shanks didn't understand, "What do you mean?"

"My book here," the old woman looked very old, but walked very fast, she pulled out a book on the bottom shelf, and motioned for Shanks to pick it up.

The cover of this book is pure white, without any title written on it, Shanks glanced at it, all the books on the shelf are like this.

"From the moment you step into this bookstore, the empty bookshelves will automatically generate books about you. As many stories as you can write, there will be as many books." The old woman looked at the full bookshelf with a smile, "Some people come to me and just generate a few books."

"You are amazing, here are all your stories."

"...Is that so." Shanks blinked, and put the book back to its original place, "If that's the case, my story is nothing interesting, so I'll leave."

The old lady nodded, and said when Shanks turned around: "People who come to me have regrets deep in their hearts. It is a certain point in their life, and it is also the content of a book."

"Find this book, buy it, open the page you want to change, tear it off and burn it, and you can go back to that time and change your choice."

Shankston lived, somewhat in disbelief, "Changing the past?"

"Yes, my bookstore is opened for this purpose, but there are very few people who can come here."

"Then... you need to pay the price?"

"No businessman would do business at a loss." The old woman shook her head.

"Bailey?"

"Not Bailey." The old lady shook her head again, raised her crutches and pointed to Shanks' heart, "All I want is a little bit of emotion in your heart, which is what people often say,"

"Love."

"Love?" Shanks frowned, "It's too precious."

"Is it very valuable? I've done a lot of business. Some of them are a rich man who went bankrupt due to a mistake, some are a down-and-out man who made a wrong decision to separate his wife and children, and some are a twilight old man who regrets his life..."

"They also thought so at first, but they finally made up their minds. I don't need too much love. Just a little, it won't affect your life. Just a little, you can change the time you regret the most."

Shanks remained silent, and the old lady didn't urge them. Everyone who came here would have such a process of contemplation, but in the end they all chose to trade without exception.

The person with more books, the more "love" she will draw.

"Please allow me to refuse."

Unexpectedly, Shanks chose to refuse after a short period of contemplation. He held his heart and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, no matter how much I regret the past, I will not change..."

"Why? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to change the past?"

"It's very tempting. If you give me another chance... I will definitely... But, that's a thing of the past."

Shanks took a deep breath, "If the conditions were anything else, I might really be moved."

"But if you want to share my love, I won't be willing."

"All of my love for him must exist here, and no one can take away a little." Shanks bowed to the old woman, "Thank you, mother-in-law, I have nothing to buy, so I will leave first."

……

"It turned out to be a failed business." The old lady shook her head, she couldn't believe it, but she also knew that people who could fill all the bookshelves could not be easily swayed.

Just like the man who once set foot here, also rejected her conditions, and left with a big laugh.

It should be Gol D. Roger, she has lived too long, she has forgotten...

"Give you a gift, just like the gift for that man."

-

"Shanks, did you see the pendant on that guy's neck? That crystal looks very valuable!" Bucky poked Shanks' arm and whispered to him mysteriously.

Shanks didn't know what he was thinking, and when he turned his head to look over, he was a little dazed, and he stared at Bucky for a while.

Bucky was annoyed, "Hey! Shanks, I'm asking you something serious, what a fart!"

"Oh, Bucky." Shanks came back to his senses, and asked suddenly: "Do you have anything valuable? The kind that is suitable as a gift."

"Hmm..." Bucky thought for a while, then reacted, and shouted angrily: "Even if I have it, I can't give it to you! What do you want, don't lay hands on my treasure!"

"Haha, I just want to ask..." Shanks smiled, his dark eyes sparkled, "Let's go find that Yaka, shall we?"

"Huh? No, that guy won't... Hey! Hey hey, Shanks! You bastard, let me go!"

Before Bucky finished speaking, Shanks dragged his arm and struggled to drag him to the opposite pirate group.

Their voices were so loud that even the members of the two sides who were exchanging gifts looked sideways, and Roger, Whitebeard and Oden, who were sitting on the mushrooms drinking, also looked over.

"You two, what do you want to do?" Marco raised his eyelids slightly and asked lazily.

"Let's make friends!" Shanks smiled, and dragged Bucky to Akales.

The latter had already raised his head, with icy frost in his eyes.

He is enough to make people shy away, but Shanks is not afraid, he even puts on a bright and energetic smile.

"My name is Shanks, this guy is Bucky, let's make friends!"

Akales looked slightly relaxed, as if he never thought that this guy who had been defeated by him several times in three days would come to him to make friends.

Even Bucky's jaw dropped in shock, "Shanks! I don't have this interest. Have you forgotten how he beat us?"

He broke away from Shanks' hand, pointed at Akales in a demonstrative way, and said, "I tell you, I will definitely defeat you next time! Just wait and see!"

Bucky's demonstration was over, and he was afraid that the other party would make a sudden move, so he ran back with his legs loose.

Shanks still stood straight on the spot, his palms were full of nervous sweat, as if he had to wait for an answer.

Akales hesitated for a moment, and shook his head slightly under the loving eyes of the parents on both sides.

"Hey? Don't you want to make friends? Then...they are all exchanging gifts. I don't have any presents that I can take. Do you want to exchange a hug?"

Shanks was not discouraged, he just stretched out his hands, as if he really wanted to hug him as he said in the words.

"Hold him!" The crew of Roger Pirates suddenly shouted, "Hold him! Come on, Shanks!"

"Hold and hug!"

"Exchange presents! Exchange hugs!"

The pirates of the Roger Pirates were as noisy as if they were exploding, shaking Shanks whose ears were already red.

"Ku la la la la, interesting." Whitebeard smiled and took a sip of his wine, and he shouted, "Akales."

The latter looked up at him.

"Do things according to your own ideas! Whether to hug or not, you make up your own mind!" After the white beard finished speaking, he turned around.

Roger also laughed, "This is a child. Even if there is no expensive gift, you can still think of exchanging hugs. Go ahead and drink, Newgate!"

The two glasses collided together.

"Father also said, you have to follow your heart~" Marco smiled and said to Akales Nunuzui, "This guy can't keep holding his hands like this, if you want to hug him, give him a promise .”

Akales hesitated for a moment, then stood up slowly.

Shanks' eyes lit up, if the other party wanted to refuse, there was no need to stand up at all.

So he immediately took a few steps forward, and took the initiative to hug Akales' waist. The latter's body froze immediately, and he didn't know where to put his arms.

This clinging hug was a bit beyond Akales' expectations.

"I'm very happy." The heat from Shanks' speech sprayed all over Akales' neck, where the fair skin turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, "We are friends now!"

The people around booed one after another, which seemed to make them happier than exchanging gifts.

There are also some people who can't be happy and look very melancholy.

It seems that the happy people of the Roger Pirates accounted for the majority, and the melancholy people of the Whitebeard Pirates accounted for the majority.

I always feel that my pigs have taken over other people's cabbage, and I feel a little proud...

I always feel that other people's pigs are pushing my own cabbage, which is a bit uncomfortable...

This is probably the mood of the parents. Seeing their children make friends with other children, they are both gratified and sad.

"How long are you going to hug..." Marco belonged to the unhappy group, especially after Shanks hugged him, he didn't intend to let go at all.

When Shanks heard this, he reluctantly let go of his hand, his eyes were as bright as stars.

Marko blinked, and for a moment seemed to see Shanks' tail wagging jubilantly behind him.

...Leave him alone, logically speaking, Akales is the real dog.

Akales breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered his head to straighten his crumpled shirt.

"Here you go!" Shanks only had a half-eaten piece of chocolate in his pocket, but it was better than nothing.

Looking at the clear teeth marks on it, Akales shook his head, showing his disgust.

Shanks lowered his head quite injured, broke off the piece with the tooth marks, and handed over the rest, pitifully, "It's really delicious! The specialty of our last island, there is only This one is here, you can try it."

"Why... give it to me?" Akales finally spoke, and the voice was as pleasant as Shanks imagined, "There is only one piece left, isn't it?"

"I want to make friends with you!" Shanks said bluntly, "Your name is Yaka, right? My name is Shanks. Let's make friends!"

"But..." I've beaten you so many times, and Akales didn't quite understand. It was the first time he encountered this situation, and he looked at Marco for help.

The latter shrugged and said with a smile, "You can figure it out yourself."

"Eat it, it's really delicious!" Shanks moved closer.

"...Thank you." Akales took the half piece of chocolate and took a bite under Shanks' watchful eye.

This is indeed worthy of being a specialty of an island. After the short-term bitterness, it is a rich sweetness.

If the Whitebeard Pirates are his family, this boy named Shanks is his first friend.

When we parted, Shanks tried to persuade Captain Roger to bring Akales over, but Roger laughed and rubbed his head hard.

Their time together was as short as one day.

Shanks looked eagerly at the phone bug in Oden's hand that could contact the Whitebeard Pirates. It was a phone bug that was specially purchased and could make long-distance calls.

Mi Tian smiled and told him: "If you want it, I will give it to you."

Shanks thought he heard it wrong, and tilted his head in surprise, "Give it to me?"

"Yeah, I don't need it anyway. Although Baiji said he would call him often, I'm already on the boat after all, so I can't always contact them." Mitian said with a smile.

Shanks lowered his head again, "Then I can't contact you either."

"It's okay, you're still a child, it's okay if you want to contact friends."

"I'm already big!" Shanks took a deep breath, "I know everything, I can fight, I can drink, and of course I can't make phone calls!"

"Hahahahahahaha!" Roger laughed loudly, slapping the deck and laughing wildly.

"Captain! Stop laughing!" Shanks became furious.

"Oden, call Whitebeard and let Shanks finish what he has to say. We will not see them for a long time when we set sail this time!"

After Roger finished laughing, he signaled Kozuki Oden to give Shanks the connected phone bug.

"...Hello." Akales' voice came out hesitantly.

Shanks tensed up suddenly, and there was a long silence.

It was not until the voices of "Why, is there no sound?" "It should not be hung up yet." "What happened?" Shanks took the microphone and summoned up his courage to talk to the person on the other side of the microphone. Said.

"Yaka, we haven't been in touch for a long time... You must not forget me, wait for me... When we meet again, I will take you to eat delicious food!"

"At that time, I will definitely recognize you at the first sight, so you should also remember my appearance! My name is Shanks, don't forget!"

The phone bug didn't respond for a long time, and when Shanks was about to be disappointed, a response came from there.

"I see, I look forward to...the next time we meet." There seemed to be a smile in the voice.

Agreed... Shanks knelt down on the spot covering his face, his hot head started to smoke.

At this time on the Moby Dick's ship, Akales returned the microphone to Whitebeard.

The young man who always looks at people with a cold face on weekdays, now his brows are relaxed, and his eyes that are frozen like stars are as bright as stars, shining brightly.

Suddenly, there is a sense of sight that your own cabbage has been arched by a pig!

Everyone covered their hearts and shouted in their hearts at the same time.

And after that, I haven't seen each other for several years.

When Shanks returned to the new world, they were all young people in their early twenties.

20 years old, full of vigor and high spirits.

When you meet someone who is in your heart, you have no reservations, don't know how to restrain yourself, and don't look back when you hit the south wall. It is a dead end and you want to go all the way to the dark.

He was busy with his own plan, so he took time out and waited in Whitebeard's territory for a few days at the risk.

A few days later, Marko of the first team brought Yacarles over.

Shanks swept away his fatigue, walked forward quickly, passed the black-faced Marco, and stretched out his arms to hug Akales tightly.

"Long time no see." He buried the other party's neck, absorbing his own nourishment, "Yaka... Long time no see."

Akales was still the same as before, not knowing where to put his hands, he could feel Shanks' heartbeat clinging to his body.

You can also feel the slight itching from the stubble on your neck.

In fact, he couldn't quite understand why the other party was so enthusiastic towards him, even though he hadn't seen him for a few years, he still seemed so familiar and close.

"Hey, hey, hey! We're still here!" Marco grabbed Shanks by the back collar, trying to tear him away, and said in a harsh tone, "We're here to fight, not for you to hold us Don't let anyone go!"

"Are you going to fight?" Shanks let go, but his hand was still on Akales' waist. "I want to fight him alone, Captain Marco."

"If you agree, win or lose, we will leave this island."

"You really..." Marco looked at Jacarles and asked, "Do you want to fight?"

"I can do it." Akales responded very flatly, neither asking Shanks to let go of his extra hand, nor refusing with a cold face.

The two fought continuously for four days, and finally Shanks' sword rested on Akales' neck, the blade went a little deeper into the skin, and blood flowed down the blade to the ground.

"I lost, I have to kill or cut..."

"Then promise me a request!" Shanks interrupted Akales, and took out a small box from his pocket, "I want to exchange it for the pendant on your neck."

"Don't push yourself too far, Shanks!" Marco warned while treating Akales' neck.

"...Why do you want this?" Akales remembered something, and suddenly said: "Did you... ask for that red-nosed guy?"

He remembered the guy with the red nose trying to grab his pendant.

"Ah? You mean Bucky." Shanks scratched his cheek, "No, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Hahahaha, after that guy Bucky separated from me in Rogge Town, I haven't seen him again. I heard that he is in the East China Sea. It seems that he has no plans to enter the great route."

He looked aside, Jesus, who hated iron and steel, was holding a piece of paper, and the others wished they had a few more arms pointing at the things on the paper.

"Speak to the point!" There are several big characters written on it.

What's the point?Shanks was at a loss, but he had already felt the urgency of the crew, and he deeply felt that he was also nervous.

"That...uh...I..." Shanks thought for a while, then said dryly, "You...do you want to change?"

"What are you going to change? Give it to him directly!" Jesus Bu took the paper that Beckman had written.

"Ah? But..." Isn't this bartering?

Shanks was dumbfounded, afraid that he might have misunderstood the meaning, so he didn't dare to move.

Akales looked at Marco, who twitched the corner of his mouth, apparently having seen the sign that Jesus had placed on them.

With such a captain, you are really worried...

"Red hair, my father asked me to tell you that I didn't expect that the child at that time could return to the new world, but the water in the new world is very muddy. He really wants to see how far you can go." Mal After Ke finished speaking, he waved to Akales, "Let's go Akales, do you want to buy something on the way back?"

"Do you want to buy anything?" Yakales obediently turned around and was about to leave.

But their way forward was blocked by the red-haired pirates in a hurry. Because of their hurry, several people bumped into each other, looking stupid.

Their entire pirate group seems to be a smart person.

Beckman took a step forward, probably feeling ashamed of them, and quite helpless, "It's already here, why don't you sit down and chat, how about having a banquet?"

"Yes, yes, let's have a party." Shanks ran a few steps, grabbed Akales' wrist, and asked, "Do you like to have a party?"

It was Marco who answered him, and he replied impatiently: "What about the banquet, come to us after you have solved your own troubles."

"No trouble." Shanks said lightly, as if the pressure from BIG.MOM and Kaido was nothing. "Are you really leaving Yaka?"

"Hey, hey, Yakayaka, don't be so familiar with our pirates!" Marco stood in front of Yakales, looking like a hen protecting its chicks.

He is a phoenix, not much different from a chicken.

Thinking so, Shanks met Akales' eyes.

"Yaka~" he lowered his voice.

"Stay, Marco." Jacales patted Marco on the shoulder.

"Don't..." Marco got a headache, and Akales seemed to be indifferent, but he was actually very talkative.

"Marco, if you want to leave, just go." Shanks shook Marco's hand very understandingly, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will send it back tomorrow for Yaka. Not even a single hair!"

"Don't worry, we can't leave Akales here alone." Marco also squeezed Shanks' hand, smiling darkly, "Don't even think about it!"

"Oh, then you can stay too, but just prepare more ingredients."

"Well, it seems that you didn't intend to let us stay. I'm really sorry to let you down."

"I thought you didn't know, we just wanted to leave Yaka alone!"

The hands of the two people clashed with each other, and their gazes were full of hostility.

"I'm hungry." Yakales said suddenly, and a single sentence stopped the war without gunpowder.

Shanks let go of Marco's hand first, and stretched out his hand to hook Akales' neck, "Then let's go eat quickly, what do you like to eat? Our chefs can do anything!"

Marco waved his hand and waved to the team members behind: "Let's go, give me a hard time, eat them all!"

Akales was not hungry, and he stayed only to wonder why Shanks was so interested in him.

Just want that pendant?

……

"Look, do you like it?" Shanks pushed an ordinary small box.

Inside the box lay a very polished mace, strung with a black thread, ordinary.

"This is...the first island after separation. I grabbed it myself...Of course I didn't kill it, I just borrowed a tooth."

Shanks scratched his cheek, carefully observed Akales' expression, "...do you want it?"

"Do you want it so much?" Akales took out his necklace, "this necklace."

"Stop bartering me!" Beckman himself held up the sign this time.

Shanks nodded hurriedly, "I have no intention of bartering!"

"what?"

"No! I... I just want to give you a gift!" Shanks was a little anxious, took out the necklace and wrapped it around Akales' wrist, "Put it on your hand, so you can see it anytime."

The black rope was tied a few times, and finally tied a knot. Shanks nodded in satisfaction, and took out a small phone bug from his pocket, "This is also for you, you can contact me at any time, no matter what you want, If you want to play anything, you can find me."

……

Rather than saying that the phone bug is for Akales to contact Shanks, it is better to say that Shanks will call Akales every once in a while.

The latter just silently listened to the nagging on the other side, and occasionally responded with one or two syllables, but Shanks still enjoyed it, almost every week, the phone bug would ring once.

but……

He hasn't called again in the past month.

Akales heard other people discuss that this time BIG.MOM and Kaido will work together to deal with Shanks. It is estimated that the red-haired pirates are in danger this time.

He sat quietly in the room, watching the phone bug with his eyes closed and asleep, with a miniature straw hat on the turtle shell.

Not long after, a small boat departed from Moby Dick's main ship.

"The pig arches the cabbage, so it's true." Saqi looked at the boat and sighed.

"Shut up, Akales is just too kind!" Marco refused to accept Sarge's words.

……

The red-haired pirates got caught and were forced to a deserted island with no ammunition or food.

Dozens of pirate ships flying the flags of BIG.MOM and Kaido completely surrounded the island.

They didn't go to the island because they knew that hand-to-hand combat on the island might cause unnecessary sacrifices, so that it would be best for them to starve to death and kill each other.

Shanks clutched his bleeding abdomen, his face was pale, and all the veins on his neck were showing a strange purple color.

"How is the boss?" Jesus walked into the cave with a serious expression, "I've checked, the water outside is blocked, and our boat is also detained there."

"I didn't bring enough medicine, and now I can only suppress the toxicity temporarily." The ship's doctor Greila hammered the ground unwillingly, "Damn it!"

"It's useless to be anxious." Beckman is considered the calmest one. Now that Shanks is unconscious, if he panics as the deputy captain, the pirate group will be finished.

"They are still thinking about it. If they know about Shanks' coma, they will definitely go to the island."

"Is there any other way? We can't sit still, and Shanks can't wait that long."

"The toxin has already spread. If we don't inject antidote, we can only see how long he can last."

……

Consciousness was so clear that Shanks could hear every word they said, and could feel Gerilla roll up his sleeve and inject the medicine.

But he wanted to respond, but he couldn't open his eyes or speak.

This time, he was too careless and conceited, dragging down the entire pirate group.

The clothes on the shoulders were pulled away, followed by a brief pain, and the blood in the body seemed to rush in that direction.

Akales wiped off the blood from his mouth, brushed his hair to untie the pendant, and put it on Shanks again.

"How did you break through the encirclement?" Beckman was curious. They didn't hear the sound of the battle, but the opponent appeared here.

Yakales didn't explain, just said: "I came alone."

"Cough...cough cough...are you here to die for love?" Shanks opened his eyes at some point, although he was weak, but his condition was much better than before.

"You shouldn't have come. If there is a way for someone to get out, go quickly." Shanks raised his hand and touched Akales' face, his rough fingertips scratched the skin, but it was very gentle, " This is the business of our pirate group."

"Don't get me wrong." Akales patted his hand away, "I didn't want to interfere in your affairs."

"That's right, that's good." Shanks grabbed Akales' hand again, and looked at the necklace wrapped around his wrist several times. Under the black thread, there was a thin white wrist.

He was really happy because Akales would worry about him and even risk it for him.

Shanks pulled that wrist closer to his lips under Akales' increasingly surprised gaze.

Of course, it was over as soon as they met. Akales clutched his wrist, looked at Shanks for a while, and then got up and asked where the ship's doctor was?

Shanks' breathing has always been rapid, his heartbeat is also abnormal, and the toxin is still spreading. Without antibodies, no matter whether it is bloodletting or what, it is useless.

"I'm hated by..." Shanks smiled, and looked at Beckman with all his strength, "Beckman, I know the current situation, if I don't take back the ship, I will
