boom!

The sound of cannons rumbled.

A battle that no one expected happened out of nowhere. The battle between the strongest rookie pirate group in the new world and Whitebeard, the strongest pirate group, broke out over territory.

The cause of the matter is actually very simple. Shanks and his crew went sailing to be free. In fact, they came to this place simply to find clues about a certain Devil Fruit.

But here, I met a member of the Whitebeard Pirates and a group of pirates led by him.

This man is an inconspicuous guy in the Whitebeard Pirates, with dark skin, a simple-looking face, a sausage mouth, and a look that is easy to bully.

His name is Teach.

In fact, Teach and Shanks were strangers to each other. In the past, when the Roger Pirates still existed, they had many battles with the Whitebeard Pirates. In one battle involving the entire ship,

Shanks and Bucky fought with Teach for a long time and understood that this was a guy who didn't look like much, but was actually very powerful.

Originally, I just wanted to say hello to this guy I hadn't seen for a long time, but I didn't expect that this person named Tiqi would directly attack him for some reason.

So, the two groups fought together.

Now Shanks is no longer the trainee crew member on the Roger Pirates ship in the past, but a world-famous super rookie with a bounty of more than one billion Baileys.

And Teach is still an inconspicuous guy among the Whitebeard Pirates.

It seemed that he had not changed much in the past ten years or so, but when he actually fought, the situation surprised Shanks.

Because the guy he thought he had left far behind was actually not much worse than him in strength. During the battle, he left very deep marks on his face.

Of course, the other side was more seriously injured, but in the end both sides stopped fighting and chose to leave separately.

Some doubts arose in Shanks's heart. Why did Teach, who had such great strength, seem so inconspicuous in the Whitebeard Pirates? Not to mention the squad leader, he was not even a cadre, just an ordinary crew member.

This will undoubtedly make people suspicious, after all, it is against common sense, but Shanks did not dwell on it for too long, because after all, this is a matter of the Whitebeard Pirates. Even if Teach has any conspiracy, it has nothing to do with him. It should be

That guy with white beard is right to struggle with this.

But based on Shanks' understanding of Whitebeard, this guy who is as domineering as the past captain will not doubt his son.

An inexplicable battle, and then an inexplicable end, even others on Shanks' ship felt inexplicable. Fortunately, the banquet can solve all the pirates' problems. If it cannot be solved, then there will be more games.

The Shanks Pirates are one of the pirate groups that like to hold banquets the most. One of them can even be removed. There is no big problem in calling them a banquet pirate group.

Every pirate is a drunkard, and the red-haired pirates are no exception.

Halfway through the banquet, many people were already staggering around after drinking, and even Shanks was a little tipsy. Shanks's bottle of wine was average, not good, but not bad either.

But today, he actually didn't want to join in the fun. He grabbed a stack of newspapers from somewhere, and then found a big rock to sit on by himself.

The newspaper was placed behind his head as a cushion.

There was still wine in the glass, and Shanks drank it alone. Maybe it was because today's battle with Teach reminded him of another guy with a very close relationship, Red Nose, who they had fought side by side with.

Jesus Bu didn't know when he came here, sat down next to him and leaned on the stone, and asked him: "What are you thinking about, Shanks?"

"I remember my friend, but I don't know how he is doing now."

"Is it the red-nosed companion you mentioned?"

Jesus Bu still had an impression of this person. After all, Shanks had told their story, and that was the first time Shanks invited him to become a pirate together.

Rowing this small boat looks very funny.

Jesus Bu didn't agree the first time. When he met Shanks again, he was already a very powerful new pirate. Jesus Bu didn't refuse this time. Going to sea has always been his dream. With the support of his wife,

He got on the ship and followed Shanks to sea. Now he has realized his original dream.

"Yes, the Bucky I told you before, that guy used to be obsessed with all treasures. The Teach who is fighting us today, we fought him together before, but we didn't expect this guy Teach

His strength has actually not dropped. I just don’t know what Bucky is doing now. With his character, he must be searching for treasures all over the world.”

Shanks shook his head when he said this, "Maybe he is still in the East China Sea. If he were alone, he would probably not choose to set foot on the Grand Route. He is a very timid guy."

Jesus looked at Shanks strangely and asked, "Didn't you read the recent news?"

"News? Something big happened?"

People who sail frequently cannot see the news every day like people on land. Sometimes when sailing for dozens of days at sea, you are lucky to meet a news bird once.

Of course, there are also those who are lucky, such as a certain pirate group. Every time the bounty increases after a battle, a news bird will always pass by their ship and sell them the latest newspaper news, as if the pirate ship has been marked.

In fact, this is a small probability event.

Newsbirds are very busy. It is not easy to carry newspapers in a package hung around their necks. It is impossible to fly all the time on the sea just to find people. This is neither economical nor scientific.

Most of the time, the newsbirds have a fixed route, just like the newsboys. The red-haired pirates have very average luck during this period. The last news showed that the navy is about to undergo major changes, and there will be four

Such news will appear.

The news after this is basically unknown.

Jesus took out the pile of newspapers from behind Shanks' head, opened it and handed it to Shanks.

"Now, let's take a look."

Shanks didn't know why, but he still focused his attention on the newspaper. The big headline was the usual style of the World Economic News: [The Great Treasure Hunter in the Navy! No one knows treasures better than me!

】

There is a red-nosed figure in the photo, which is not a big problem. The key is that the red-nosed figure is actually wearing a navy uniform - the rank of brigadier general does not seem high, but in fact it is already very eye-catching for someone of this age.

"puff……"

Shanks spit out a mouthful of wine. He almost suspected that he had seen it wrong. He looked at the photo carefully and confirmed that it was the Bucky guy.

But why did this bastard become a navy?!

Shanks was suddenly a little angry. He had promised to be the captain and went to Captain Roger to leave the secret treasure to Raff Drew. Unexpectedly, this bastard actually joined the navy.

Soon, Shanks reacted.

It would not be impossible if Bucky met Allen again after he and Bucky separated.

Allen was their eldest brother at the time, and he was just a navy man. Later, he captured Captain Roger and personally executed him.

After so many years, the original eldest brother has become an admiral of the navy. He has also become a famous pirate.

In this way, we can understand why there has been no news about Bucky before. At that time, all reports were focused on Allen, and the soldiers around him would not be noticed.

But now, the people who followed Allen are no longer unknown soldiers, they have grown into elites who can stand alone.

Such as Bucky.

Who would have thought that now he would become a Commodore of the Navy. The reality would be so magical and beyond expectation.

Jesus smiled unkindly. He took a sip of wine and said, "This is not the latest news today. We bought the newspaper from the boss when we were shopping. If you scroll further, there will be other news."

Shanks then started to flip through the newspaper, and stopped when he reached a certain page. There was a photo of almost the most famous guy in the world, who was more famous than all the stars.

Because not only is he much more handsome than the star, but he is also powerful, and he is also the current Navy Admiral - "White Dragon" Allen.

There are two photos. In addition to Allen, there is also a female Navy lieutenant general.

This is the news that General Allen and Lieutenant General Gion are about to get married. Looking at the date, it seems that it will be... the day after tomorrow.

Shanks was a little dazed.

I still remember the way he looked when he questioned Allen. In the blink of an eye, nearly ten years have passed. I don’t know if he still remembers me, but I have never gotten rid of him in these years. Almost every once in a while,

There will be all kinds of great achievements of his that will set off world news and public opinion.

"Jesus Bu, do you want to go back to the East China Sea?" Shanks suddenly asked.

"Go back to the East China Sea?"

Jesus was stunned.

It seems that Donghai has not been back for a long time, and I don’t know how Banzina is doing now, or whether Usopp has grown up.

He is already a famous pirate in the sea. It seems good if he can go back. At least he can brag to his son... Well, no.

If the Navy knew such news, both Usopp and Benzina might be in danger.

But it shouldn’t be a problem to go back and take a look secretly, right?

"Can I go back?"

Shanks smiled: "There's nothing wrong with this. Our navigation is free and easy. Now that we have decided, when this repair is completed, we will go to the East China Sea!"

…

…

Donghai, Windmill Village.

The Windmill Village, which is only a mountain away from the Kingdom of Goa, is like a paradise uncontested by the world. Life here seems to slow down time, and all the wind and rain outside are blocked and cannot affect this place at all.

Whether it's the Grand Line or the New World, they are all too far away.

In the sky here, there is only the East China Sea, and sometimes even this small village.

Lujiu has fallen in love with Windmill Village since she came to it. It is a place very similar to her hometown of Batelila Island, remote, stable, and uncontested.

She quickly settled down here and resumed her old business in the village. However, Windmill Village could not compare with Rogge Town. She could only guarantee not to lose money by opening a shop here, which was already very impressive.
