At the beginning, I summoned Li Jing, who is very cold, and I will fight against Hawkeye!

"A big change?" Buggy stood quietly in the middle of the empty hall, slightly raised his head, and slowly scanned the surroundings.

His eyes first flashed a trace of confusion, and then gradually became deep, as if he was recalling something.

After a moment, he pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose. The clown's red nose looked particularly weird at this time, revealing a chilling sense of horror.

Bucky narrowed his eyes slightly, with a greedy gleam in his eyes, and spoke in a low voice with a hint of laughter.

"This is my favorite thing, because in the end, the guy who benefits the most must be me, Bucky!"

At the same time, outside the Joker's big tent, Hongo carefully helped Shanks leave slowly.

At this moment, the emotions that had been suppressed on Hongo's face could no longer be concealed and were all revealed.

Although Shanks didn't look at Hongo, he seemed to be able to read his thoughts and slowly said, "Hongo. Ask whatever you want to ask!"

After hearing Shanks' words, Hongo was no longer polite, and his tone was full of doubt and anxiety: "Boss, what was Buggy's reaction just now? Your meaning was so obvious, asking him not to deal with Luffy, but he...

Also, you have been in charge of the Cross Guild from its founding till now, and he is just a figure in the open.

Now we are giving up our hope of a comeback and revenge... I really don't understand." Hongo's tone was full of frustration, as if he had lost his strength and was weak.

Shanks placed his hand gently on the hilt of Griffin, his eyes full of helplessness and disappointment.

"Hongo, you're right. I don't want this to happen either. This is the 'opportunity' I've always been proud of, but what can I do?

Before the Cake Battle, everything in the Cross Guild was under my control.

However, after the Battle of Cake Island, I found that Bucky had changed.

He has become completely different from before, and even I have been deceived by him!"

"Then Boss, why did you stay away for so long? You were the one who recruited most of the people here."

Shanks' eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, staring straight at Hongo, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I want to leave? I have to leave!

Buggy hid the fact that he took over the BIGMOM Pirates.

He used the Cross Guild's plan to accept and treat him, and asked Katakuri and the children of Big Mom to help him with all their strength. "

At this point, Shanks suddenly looked at the coastline of Kale Bali in front of him, pointed his finger there, and there was a hint of shock in his voice.

"Do you know how I felt when Katakuri showed up at this coastline with all the remaining forces under Big Mom? I was caught off guard!"

"Boss..." After listening to Shanks' explanation, Hongo's eyebrows almost frowned together.

"Do you know why I went to Demon Island to find Barrett before I came back?" Shanks had calmed down and his tone was a little flat.

Hongo shook his head and did not answer.

Shanks continued, “I went to him hoping that he could join me in putting pressure on Buggy.

After all, we all know how Buggy feels about me. If there is a strong man like Barrett supporting him, Buggy might have some reservations. "

"Then why didn't he..." Hongo hesitated.

"He refused." Shanks quietly watched the sand being pushed ashore by the waves. The new sand would always push the sand in front forward with the power of the waves.

"You know what Barrett said to me when I met him? Hongo."

Hongo still didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Shanks, who looked increasingly older.

Shanks' eyes looked a little tired, and he said slowly

"He told me, 'Shanks, he who goes with the flow is king, and he who goes against the flow is foolish.'"

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Hongxiang's heart hard.

Barrett almost cursed Shanks in the face: If you don't have the ability, don't get involved.

"He who goes with the trend is the king, he who goes against the trend is delusional...Hahaha!" Shanks' laughter was full of helplessness and vicissitudes.

Recalling his childhood, Roger picked it up. He was just a child at that time, but he had already shown amazing talent.

He was praised as a genius by Roger Reilly and was burdened with expectations.

When he was young, he decided to go to sea and explore the world alone. On that vast ocean, he met a group of like-minded and powerful companions.

They have experienced countless adventures and battles together and grown together.

However, as time went by, he gradually entered middle age, ruled the sea, and ascended the throne of the Four Emperors.

"My life shouldn't be like this! Hahaha!"

"Shanks..." Hongo couldn't help feeling sad when he heard the helpless laughter with a hint of sob.

This time, instead of addressing Shanks as "Boss" as usual, he called him by his first name and patted him gently on the shoulder.

.......

Elsewhere, on the east coast of Kalai Bali, the Black Pearl floated quietly like a majestic beast.

Tren stood tall on the deck, his hands behind his back, looking solemnly at the pirate ships that were beginning to leave the coast, without saying a word.

The sea breeze blew past, lifting his shawl and making it rustle.

His hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and his bangs were blown to the left and right, revealing his resolute face and deep eyes.

"Captain." At this time, the Holy Lord on the wall suddenly shouted, his voice was low and magnetic, as if it came from ancient times.

Immediately afterwards, the Holy Lord walked out of the wall like a ghost and stood silently beside Tren.

"This is a great opportunity!" The Holy Lord tilted his head slightly and looked at Teren, his eyes full of anticipation.

Teren smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile

His tone was relaxed, but with a hint of teasing: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"I don't know." The Holy Lord shook his head. There was no expression on his face, like a sculpture.

"But I know that anyone in a high position will have big ambitions."

Teren glanced at the Holy Lord, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, the sea breeze whistled past, blowing them even harder.

Teren's cape coat fluttered in the wind like spreading wings.

“Are you talking about Bucky?”

"That guy, at first glance, is a man who suppressed his 'initial desire' to the limit because of something in the past.

Now he slowly finds that he is becoming more and more capable, and that habitual suppression will change from probing, slightly threatening, to being completely exposed! "The Holy Lord crossed his hands in front of his chest, his eyes revealing a hint of wisdom.

He raised his chin slightly, as if recalling something. After all, no one could hide their thoughts in front of a Saint Lord with thousands of years of experience.

Looking at the Holy Lord with a confident smile on his face, Tren couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with Bucky.

At that time, he was clearly deliberately stirring up Bucky's emotions, and Bucky even had tears in his eyes.

But my system did not receive any feedback from my mental emotions.

"It seems that the domineering color at that time was not sudden!" Tren narrowed his eyes slightly, with a vigilant light flashing in his eyes.
