Pirates: Ghosts Walking in the Dark

The great route, the first half of the paradise.

In an inconspicuous kingdom, a group of people were sitting solemnly in the most luxurious conference room in the palace.

If anyone sees these people, they will be very surprised, because none of them here are unknown people, nor are they the kings of this kingdom.

The man sitting at the top had red hair and three scars on his left eye. He was wearing a white shirt and patterned trousers. A Western sword named 'Griffin' was leaning on the side.

It was the red-haired Shanks who was supposed to be in the East China Sea.

Next to Shanks was Beckman, who was smoking a cigarette and looking calm, followed by other members of the pirate group.

"As expected of the vice-captain, he captured a kingdom so easily!"

"Hehe, the vice-captain's wisdom is not as good as tying us together."

"Now those navy think we are getting angry and tossing around in the East China Sea! Hahaha..."

There was no smile on Shanks' face, but he looked at Beckman with a serious face: "Although we relied on your wisdom to win this kingdom, we can't hide here forever. What are your plans?"

Beckman slowly took out the last puff of his cigarette, and then put out the cigarette butt: "The plan is that we have to keep a low profile for a while. Vice Admiral Green is becoming more and more powerful, so we have to avoid the edge for the time being. Originally, the fourth maritime I wanted to help you, Captain, plan for the position of emperor, but it was usurped by the Red Count who suddenly escaped from prison. It will be very difficult for us to become the fifth sea emperor."

Shanks frowned: "I heard that Green has defeated Kaido and Blackbeard Teach, and regained the country of Wano. The country of Wano has officially announced that it will join the world government. If we can't do it with him, With the harmonious hatred, he will take action on us sooner or later!”

Beckman shook his head: "Not necessarily! We had deliberately let them take away the rubber fruit last time, so our importance in his eyes should be lower."

When Shanks mentioned the rubber fruit, veins appeared on Shanks' forehead, and his face was full of reluctance.

Only he knew that the fruit was not a bullshit rubber fruit at all, but the legendary fruit that was not on the map.

Beckman obviously saw what he was thinking: "Don't feel unwilling, only by living can we have a chance!"

Shanks took a deep breath and slowly stabilized his emotions: "Huh~ I know, I won't be impulsive!"

"Also, the Hawkeye you are very optimistic about has joined the Giant Mercenary Company and has become a member of the Navy in disguise." Beckman suddenly remembered something and said.

He knew how much the captain valued Hawkeye, but that was right, that man was expected to become the world's greatest swordsman.

Shanks was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that even he made a choice. It seems that what happened last time made him have a bad opinion of us, but he doesn't have any ill feelings toward House."

"The next step is to rely on you, Beckman. With your wisdom, I believe it won't be long before we can sail on the sea again!"

Beckman nodded and said nothing.

Next to him, Lachilu, who wanted to speak several times, finally got the chance: "Captain, what should we do about Jesus Bu? We can't give up on him!"

Shanks and Beckman both fell silent upon hearing this. It was not because they had forgotten about Jesus Bu that they had not mentioned it before, but they deliberately did not bring up this topic that was destined to be fruitless.

The two were silent for a while, then slowly shook their heads.

Lachilu's expression changed. He was not stupid. Of course he knew that it would be difficult for Jesus Bu to come back, but he still wanted to struggle.

Only then did he realize that it was all in vain!

"Jesus Bu would have come back long ago if he wanted to. As far as I know, Green did not restrict his freedom at all, not even the freedom of his family, but..." Beckman shook his head.

He didn't resent Jesus Bu, but felt inexplicable admiration for his partner for making this choice. It was amazing to be able to give up his dream and protect his family!

"No matter what." Shanks suddenly smiled and said: "Jesus Bu is our partner, and the time we sailed together is a very good memory. Even if we meet on the battlefield in the future, I hope everyone can look at each other and smile. , even if our positions are different, our friendship will not change!"

"That's right! The captain said exactly what I thought."

"Jesus Bu will always be our partner!"

In the splendid conference room, a banquet was quickly held, and curses and laughter continued.

……

Wano Country, in the temporary base.

"Huh? There is a country that wants to join the World Government? Then let it join. What do you want to say to us?" Green frowned as he looked at the messenger in front of him.

They just need to join the World Government and directly communicate with the World Government. They only need to fight and not do business!

The messenger immediately replied: "Lieutenant General, the people in that kingdom said they want to invite the navy to station there, and have sent people to build a naval base for us. I would like to invite you to visit!"

"No! Tell them I'm not free and ask Dadi to send a team of people to pick it up." Green waved his hand.

Are you kidding me, I have so many things to deal with, how can I expect you to be in a naval base?Be sick!With so many naval bases under construction, do you want to see them one by one?

The soldiers responded immediately and left after saluting.

"Wait a moment!"

Green suddenly stopped him, frowned and thought for a moment: "What is the situation in that kingdom? Bring the relevant information!"

"Yes!"

The soldier quickly came back with a piece of information and placed it respectfully on the table.

Green waved him off, then picked up the information and read it.

"Huh? A pirate kingdom that welcomes pirates. Even the king and nobles are pirates. There are three large pirate groups in the country. It's interesting!"

Such a deformed country aroused his interest, and his eyes flickered.

"It's worth a visit."

Such an interesting place, of course you have to go and experience it.

Moreover, how could a navy like him let it go if he knew about such a place full of pirates?Go for a spin, you might get something special!

After making up his mind, Green ordered the navy soldiers to reply as usual and said he would not go. On the other side, he made some preparations and Yufeng flew towards the Pirate Kingdom.

This pirate kingdom is located at the very edge of the waters near Wano Country, very close to the windless zone, but it is also at the intersection of several waterways and is the only large island nearby.

Whether they are pirates or merchant ships passing by, they must supply supplies here, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the next island safely.

It took Green half a day to reach the top of the Pirate King. This is a large island. Although it is not as big as Alabasta, it is still larger than Dressrosa. According to surveys, the island's population is no less than 20. .

"Huh? There are some familiar smells there. Has Kaido actually arrived here?"

Seeing and hearing color blended into the sea breeze, Green suddenly discovered that Kaido, Jhin and other cadres of the Beast Pirates were here.
