Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

Chapter 46 Banquet

"So, what is your purpose for coming here?"

Hearing those familiar names of people and places, Shanks' expression relaxed and he asked curiously.

"Uh...it's because I have a younger brother, his name is Luffy."

"And you are his savior, so I wanted to come and see you and say hello."

With the bottle in hand, Ace walked slowly into the cave.

When the members of the Red Hair Pirates heard this, they all started talking, and the serious atmosphere was no longer there.

As for Ace's behavior of saving the code until the end, Jerry can only say that he is worthy of his name being a playing card. He knows how to play cards and will never drop a bomb even if he dies.

"Luffy? Does he have a brother?"

"Haha, I haven't heard him talk about that much. Makino and Luffy are all doing well now."

Shanks took the wine handed over by Ace, looked at the bottle, raised his eyes and asked.

"Well, when I was out at sea, everyone was very nice. Luffy and I are sworn brothers."

Ace replied with a grin as well.

"Really? Speak carefully."

Patting Ace's shoulder, Shanks greeted the two of them.

Since the situation has been almost clarified and the wine has been accepted by the other party, as long as there is still some sense of morality, it is generally assumed that the relationship is friendly.

After a while, Jerry went out and called everyone from the Spade Pirates over, and the banquet was able to resume.

After the Spade Pirates came in, they were probably intimidated by the Red Hair Pirates' reputation as one of the Four Emperors, plus they were unfamiliar with the group, so they were a little reserved at first.

But before long, both sides were laughing and fighting, and some people were even forced to drink some wine and performed water escape technique to vomit after drinking too much.

The scene was jubilant and the atmosphere was warm. Laughter and cheers were heard one after another, and everyone was immersed in a sea of joy.

"Makino's wine? I really miss it."

Shanks now took the wine that Ace had previously given him and opened the bottle, a look of nostalgia on his face.

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Ace touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly:

"Oh... No, this is Miss Makino's wine that I bought in Rogue Town. I encountered various problems when I went out to sea before, so..."

"You are such a talented person, my dear. I missed you so much!"

After hearing Ace's explanation, Shanks slapped him on the back and scolded him with a smile.

"Luffy, he..."

Next, the two captains of the pirate groups basically talked to each other about their common topic, which was the people and things in the Windmill Village in the East China Sea.

"Is your captain also of this type?"

Ben Beckman was sitting not far from Ace and the others at this time, and asked Jerry beside him.

"Yeah, that's why we, the deputy captains, are so tired."

Spreading his hands, Jerry looked up and sighed, as if telling how tired he was.

Watching the other party's exaggerated acting, Beckman felt that his reputation as a fellow deputy captain was damaged.

"Oh! Just pretend. Don't think I don't know. You don't care about much."

"Ahaha, is that so? That's really rude. I thought I was being very lenient by just staring at the sea."

With two dry laughs, Jerry continued to explain without any concern, and his main point was that he was thick-skinned.

"I have no interest in One Piece, my goal is to defeat the Four Emperors!"

Ace's firm words were suddenly heard in the lively scene, and it seemed that he and Shanks had turned their topic to One Piece.

Inside the cave, everyone stopped blowing water at the same time after hearing it.

Just as the atmosphere was about to become weird again.

Shanks laughed, patted Ace and said:

"Ahahaha! Ahahaha! Ahahaha! You're really brave to say that!"

"Uh... I'm not talking about you. We've had a drink together before. We're not enemies."

Realizing that what he said seemed to have caused another misunderstanding, Ace raised his glass and explained.

"Yeah, that's true. I thought you guys were going to have a fight because of a disagreement."

The smoke rings gradually spread in the air. Beckman raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced sideways.

Jerry was already used to Ace's nonsense, and shrugged at Beckman.

"That kid always talks like this. If you take him seriously, you will lose."

As the misunderstanding was resolved, the party soon became lively again.

"Our current target is Whitebeard!"

Ace continued with the previous topic.

Hearing his words, many of the Red Hair Pirates crew members behind Shanks looked as if they had seen a ghost, with faces full of surprise.

For those who know the inside story, Whitebeard can truly be described as a terrifyingly powerful being. Don't think that old people are easy to bully.

You have to know that those who are easy to bully are kind people who have grown old, and bad people are mostly still bad when they get old.

Maybe, young people are just so tough and strong.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that they themselves were this strong in the past.

"Oh? Why him?" Shanks was puzzled.

"Well, when it comes to Pirate King Roger, the one that everyone is most familiar with is his rival Whitebeard."

"Moreover, when I was about to enter the New World, the first thing that appeared in front of me on Fishman Island was Whitebeard's flag!"

"We have already placed our flag above theirs, determined to surpass them!"

Clenching his fists, Ace raised his head, his eyes shining and his face determined.

"Okay... I can't say much about this kind of thing."

Upon hearing this, Shanks could only give a polite smile.

As four emperors, no matter who is challenged or what is about to happen, generally speaking, other people of the same level will not easily intervene.

Otherwise, it is easy to cause a chain reaction. After all, everyone is quite large. If misunderstandings arise, a war will no longer be a joke.

Of course the navy hopes that the four emperors will fight each other until their heads fall off, but as the overlords of the New World, the four sea emperors still try their best to remain restrained, not interfere with each other, and live in peace.

"Hmm... I've talked so much about Dong Hai and I before. I'm a little curious about what's next. Can you tell me? Who could have left this scar on your face?"

As he took big bites of the delicious meat, Ace was so moved that he almost cried. Thinking about the chef on his own ship, he was speechless.

"You mean this?"

Shanks touched his left eye, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"Actually, there's nothing much to say. It was left by the Whitebeard Pirates."

"It's been a while, and the scar doesn't hurt anymore."

"Is that Whitebeard?" Ace interrupted.

Shanks had already expected to be misunderstood, so he continued.

"No, he's just a member of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"No way, no way, is any random crew member of the Whitebeard Pirates so scary?"

After hearing Shanks' words, everyone in the Spade Pirates started talking about it, and Scar's shout was heard in the crowd.

"Is that man the captain?" Ace asked.

"No, but I'm not trying to scare you. It was just an isolated case."
