"Captain, have you made up your mind?"

In a turbulent sea, Beckman took a puff of his cigarette and asked Shanks, who after waking up from a hangover, the first thing he did was to find wine to quench his thirst.

At this time, everyone was lying down on the Red Foss. As the pirate ship of the New World Emperor, naturally no one dared to attack it. However, there was more alcohol than water on the ship, and they drank themselves in.

.

Shanks drank more than half of the bottle of wine, then grinned, as if he was being burned, and then squinted his eyes. He was hungover and hadn't showered, making his eyes greasy and stinging.

As an experienced drunkard, he did not rub his eyes with his hands. He endured the stinging pain and waited for the tears to overflow, and he would be fine in a few minutes.

But if you rub it with your hands, you will feel uncomfortable all day long, and it will get more and more itchy. At this time, Shanks is constantly applying force to his eyelids, trying hard to squeeze out tears and clean his eyeballs.

After wiping away the tears running down his nose, Shanks scratched his red hair, then wiped the tip of his nose with the back of his hand, then looked at Beckman who asked the question, and said:

"Ah? What kind of determination does it take to drink?"

Beckman was smoking a cigarette and waiting for his captain's answer. At this time, veins appeared on his forehead. He wanted to point his rifle at the head of this bad captain and shoot him hard.

"Hey, there has to be a limit to being unreliable, right? Don't forget what day it is today."

Beckman still restrained himself and fired a shot to break the captain's heart, and said helplessly: "If you wake up a little later, the gunshots on the Red Earth Continent will sound."

"What are you talking about?" Shanks staggered and held on to the large wine barrel on the side. He tilted his enchanting standing body and continued, "Didn't they reject us harshly?"

"Wow~"

The moment Shanks stabilized himself, a turbulent wave of mad dogs hit him. If the Red Voss hadn't been high enough, he would have been caught in it.

The drunkards who were still sleeping soundly on the boat were shaken to pieces by the sudden shaking of the boat, and they were muttering some dirty words unconsciously.

Beckman saw that although Shanks was drunk and confused, he could still recognize the things around him, so he continued: "But aren't you worried? After all, if the Celestial Dragons are killed again, I'm afraid the world government will go crazy."

At this time, the aftermath of the wave had passed. Although the waves were still turbulent, they could not shake the Red Foss. Shanks' hand holding the barrel was strong, and he sat on the barrel, looking towards the direction of the Red Earth Continent.

, said:

"On the sea, a ship can be broken and damaged. As long as there are people at the helm and passengers, the ship must maintain balance.

But a ship that has no passengers and even the helmsman has let go of the rudder, no matter how glamorous it is, cannot escape the result of being swallowed up by the waves, and balance is no longer needed."

After hearing Shanks' answer, Beckman took the last puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the sea, and said, "Is there really no need to save it?"

"there is none left."

Shanks shook his head and downed the half bottle of wine left in his hand. Beckman picked up a bottle from the ground and threw it to Shanks, then said: "Then what should we do next?"

After the red-haired pirates settled in the new world, their main consideration has always been the balance of the sea. Although the vast majority of people in the world looked at it with disgust, Beckman didn't care.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Red-Haired Pirates are still the same pirate group that has been riddled with crimes. They are villains who destroy other people's countries at every turn. The hostility of outsiders is natural and they are used to it.

But now that he heard Shanks say that there is no need to maintain balance in this world, Beckman was a little confused. If the world no longer needs balance, what else do they need to do? What else can they do?

"What to do? Let me think about it"

Shanks was thinking distressedly while drinking, then he smiled and said: "Why don't we get the musicians on our ship back and then fight for the onepiece?!"

"Onepiece? I heard that what Barrett, Crocodile, and Festa brought out this time were rewards related to the great secret treasure?"

Beckman ignored the first half of the sentence. After all, after they left the Red Earth Continent a few days ago, their first stop was the Chambord Islands, in order to find the musicians of the Red-Haired Pirates.

But it is a pity that they missed the point. When Uta was still in the Shampoo Islands, they could not leave their own sea area, but when they had time, Uta left.

According to people over at the Bubble Dome, before Uta left, he said he was going to organize an unprecedented concert, but there was no actual information at all.

As for where UTA will go to organize an unprecedented concert, in fact, both Beckman and Shanks already have the answer in their hearts, so there is no need to talk about it.

But this is something Shanks has never thought of fighting for. At least Shanks has never shown his enthusiasm for the great secret treasure.

After Shanks heard what Beckman said, he shook his head and said: "It must have been left by some senior. The real secret treasure will not be in their hands."

"Are you so sure?"

Beckman asked. Although Shanks had never expressed his desire for One Piece before, his understanding of the Final Island surpassed most people in this sea.

After all, Shanks was only one step away from the Final Island back then, but the Final Island and the Great Secret Treasure cannot be completely equated.

Shanks didn't know much about the Great Secret Treasure itself. Even if the crew asked, Shanks would only talk about what his captain, the deceased Pirate King, said.

Shanks stubbornly believed that the great secret treasure would be obtained by others in the future just as Roger said, but Beckman did not believe this statement so much.

First of all, he didn't know Roger personally, and he didn't know how credible and authoritative the words spoken by the Pirate King Roger were. However, Shanks Beckman, who used Roger as his benchmark, was not optimistic.

Secondly, Roger is just the Pirate King, not a prophet. How could he predict what would happen decades later? In this era when the number of pirates far exceeds that of the time, it is not impossible for a lucky person to land on the Final Island.

Landing on the final island means that, like Roger, you have the closest chance to the great secret treasure. If Roger couldn't get it back then, it doesn't mean that there won't be lucky people who can get it.

After all, treasures are not distributed based on strength. Although powerful people have a higher chance of obtaining treasures under the same conditions, it is difficult to say about probability.

Although more experienced pirates know that the final island requires four historical landmarks to determine its location, as long as it is an island, it is possible to find it.

Road signs only allow people to accurately know the destination and where it is, but they do not mean it is the only path.

And his rational character also makes it impossible for Beckman to believe in the words of a person who has been dead for many years like a romantic like Shanks.

After Shanks heard Beckman's words, he showed a straightforward smile and said, "Are you sure? Actually, I'm not sure. I just believe in the captain and the sea.

I know what you are thinking, but what if this sea is also protecting Onepiece?"

Beckman shook his head, but did not refute. He still felt that anyone who completed the journey of the Great Channel would have the possibility of discovering the final island.

And the Roger Pirates are not the only ones who have completed the journey of the Great Sea. Although more than twenty years ago, Roger won recognition from all over the world when he first completed this feat.

But after him, there are actually more and more people who can complete it, such as Kaido who sits in the last section of the new world, and the navy that can now roam freely in six sea areas and four windless zones.

Another example is the leader Dorag in the Revolutionary Army, who comes and goes like the wind, or the Jorakor Mihawk who has truly completed the entire journey of the great waterway.

When Mihawk was refining his black sword, he completed the journey of the Great Channel alone, but he did not go for the great secret treasure, nor did he sail as a pirate, and his destination was not the final island.

Therefore, what people care more about is the black sword tempered by Mihawk after completing his voyage, and the battle for the world's greatest swordsman that followed this feat.

Although there have been more and more pirates in recent years, the Great Channel, especially the New World, is actually very weak under Skyler's pressure. Therefore, it is not impossible for someone to bypass the New World Emperor and reach the final island.

possible.

Especially in the past two years, many big fish have escaped from Impel Down. Among them, it is not that there are no guys who are good enough to break into the new world, such as Barrett, who is holding the Pirate Expo this time.

And according to what Shanks said, Barrett was also a member of the Roger Pirates back then. Although he left midway, he knew far more information about the Great Secret Treasure and the Final Island than anyone else.

Therefore, although the possibility that he can bring out the great secret treasure is very low, it is not zero.

According to Beckman's understanding of Barrett, although he couldn't even say that he knew Barrett, that person was obviously not a fun person.

It is unlikely that such a big event is held just to attract pirates to have a party. Even if it is not a real big secret treasure, it is definitely closely related to the big secret treasure.

It's just that he couldn't afford to talk to Shanks about this. Shanks chose to leave his own sea area. In fact, he intended to promote this pirate event. At the same time, he was unwilling to use external forces to get close to the onepiece he missed.

At this time, more and more people were waking up on the Red Forth. Beckman asked Shanks: "Captain, where should we go now?"

"Let's go back to the West Sea. I haven't been back for a long time."

After Shanks finished speaking, Beckman nodded and echoed: "It's been two years, but this time we are not allowed to buy too much wine. We can't afford too much wine."

"Why?!"

Shanks asked in shock. Beckman took out another cigarette and pointed the butt of the cigarette at the guardrail for a few times. He said melancholy: "Didn't you help your vice-captain get married in the Chambord Islands?"

Drink money?”

"Who do you owe money for drinks? Why can't I remember?"

Shanks scratched his head and asked. Beckman rolled his eyes at his captain, and then said: "It's not me, it's Rayleigh-senpai."

"Oh, I seem to have an impression, but how much wine money can he owe to Senior Xia Qi?"

Shanks finally remembered, but he was even more puzzled. The Bailey they carried when they left their own sea area was enough to buy Xia Qi's bar three times, not to mention paying back Rayleigh's drink money.

Beckman's face became increasingly melancholy, then he lit up a cigarette, took a long drag, took off the cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and said, "Have you forgotten the name of that bar?"

"I understand Xia Qi's trick."

After Shanks reacted, he sighed and lamented that it was not the old man who had become bad, but the bad guy who had become old. He should have thought of this earlier.

However, Shanks still looked resentful, looked at Beckman and said, "Why didn't you remind me? At least tell me earlier?"

Beckman took another puff of cigarette and said: "Since the day you went to the Shampoo Islands, today is your first day sober. How could I tell you earlier?"

"Yeah too?"

Shanks scratched his head, a little embarrassed. He seemed to have been drunk for several days. He felt that now that his blood was released, he could make a large number of people drunk.

Ton ton ton, in order to cover up his embarrassment and shyness, Shanks raised his head and drank.

At the same time, on the Red Earth Continent, things were still so orderly. The guards guarded the pinnacle of the world rigorously and dedicatedly. The waiters, officials, and CPs moved between each other in a direct and efficient manner without any redundancy.

But outside a castle, there was a vigorous figure climbing on the outer wall of the corner tower. He was extremely fast, using the semicircular tower body to constantly block the sight of the patrolling guards.

On the upper floors, a window of the tower quietly opened at this time. Seeing this scene, the climbers felt certain in their hearts and climbed up at a faster speed.

In just a breath, he had already arrived at the open window, jumped forward nimbly, and gently closed the window. Then he looked at the figure in a white suit not far away and asked: "You are Rob Lucci

?”

The man in the white suit was wearing a mask and could not see his face clearly. Unless he was a familiar person, it would be difficult to identify his specific identity. However, he shook his head and said:
To be continued...
