【Eagle Red】Lifetime

When the red-haired captain returned to the Red, Beckman, who had been in charge of watching the ship, came over and reported: "Our navigator has returned, and Regwhite's record pointer is not fast, and Red will not be able to do so until tomorrow afternoon." set sail."

Shanks handed the bottle of cold spring wine that was not opened by Mihawk to his right-hand assistant, "That's impossible, you haven't disembarked, just in time to go to town tomorrow morning .It's very peaceful here, and although we were recognized by some locals, we didn't have any trouble."

"This is the best," Beckman thought with a cigarette in his mouth, "Tomorrow I'll go buy some local tobacco and try it."

As an alcoholic, Shanks can understand his brother's love of smoking, so he said with a cheerful smile: "So we are destined to be on the same boat, and we will taste all the smoking bars in this world together!"

"...Why can this boss say such bold words?" Beckman casually teased Shanks' majestic slogan.

Shanks suddenly restrained his smile, and put his hand on the straw hat behind his head: "What can't be said about going to sea in order to drink all the wine? Is it only proud of taking risks for OnePiece?"

Beckman knew that his captain would express some inexplicable emotion on rare occasions, and he didn't need to express his opinion in this case.He bit off the lid of the wine bottle, drank the wine and turned away: "Since the boss is so chic, please forgive my slip of the tongue."

Shanks showed a bitter smile when he heard this, he gently took off the hat on his head, and stared silently for a while.

There are some promises in this world that were spoken so without thinking, but as you grow up, you will understand more and more the weight and meaning it contains.

"Captain Roger..."

The red-haired man straightened his chest. Standing on his boat, looking at the black waves in the middle of the night, he whispered softly.

As usual, this midnight was the carnival of the red-haired pirates. Lackey and Jesus were the last to return to the ship. Beckman was completely relieved when he saw all the members returning safely.

He kept to his habit, sitting alone on the bow of the ship and watching the crew members making a fuss.At this moment, his captain was stepping on the wine barrel with one foot, proudly raised a large glass of rum, and said loudly: "Tomorrow's sun, cheers!"

The choruses rose and fell, and everyone was excited for the end of this slow and boring journey.

Beckman also raised the wine bottle from a distance, and took a big sip happily.

Everything has come to an end for the time being, and Beckman thinks that when tomorrow dawns, he will pull up the captain who is bound to have a hangover and headache to discuss the plan after arriving at the Chambord Islands.He knew that on that island full of bubbles, there lived a very important person to the captain.

It wasn't every time Shanks stopped by to visit the gentleman, but this time, Beckman wasn't sure what his boss was up to.He turned his head again to look at Shanks who had just experienced a parting.

The red-haired man was sitting cross-legged on the deck, laughing as he listened to Lackey's anecdote when he went ashore.The fat man tore a big mouthful of meat with his teeth, chewed while waving his hands, and repeated the words of the sniper on the Reid in a mocking tone: "'It's enough for me to report safety with the arrest warrants that continue to increase the bounty'... But he said When I said this, I was still holding my pocket money in my hand! If you want to be handsome, you have to change your temperament?! Don’t you think so, boss?”

Shanks beat his knees and responded with a big laugh: "I don't know how to be laughed at by others! But where did Jesus go? You can't let him shoot cannons on the edge of the town!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a huge muffled noise from below the deck of the Reid, and the whole ship shook violently.Shanks jumped up quickly and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

But before he stepped down from the cabin, a black, smoking head with a hair full of explosive curls emerged from the side of the stairs.Shanks was startled, and recognized that this was the Jesus cloth he was still thinking about just now.

Jesus Bu coughed violently while leaning on the deck, and then climbed up neatly: "I didn't expect that little thing to explode, it's too dangerous, I give up!"

"What... what's going on?" Beckman, who came over after hearing the sound, asked seriously before Shanks could speak.

"Oh, it's nothing." Jesus Bu held up the small aluminum can that had been blown out of shape in his hand, and explained easily, "I saw a very interesting gadget when I was wandering around the town with Lackey, and I wanted to study it. Its principle is used to enhance the power of shells, but practice has proved that it is not feasible."

"Hey, even if you love to invent, don't make fun of Red!" Lackey complained dissatisfiedly.

"How could I have thought that this little thing is so powerful? After all, shouldn't you be concerned about whether your partner is injured?!" Jesus Bu accused with a black face, "Don't underestimate..."

The last half of the sniper's defense was swallowed by seeing the captain's ugly face: "...Boss?"

Shanks' voice is almost serious when the enemy is in front of him: "The thing in your hand..."

Jesus Bu didn't expect that the always magnanimous captain would be so angry because of a small explosion with no casualties. He bowed his head and sincerely apologized: "I was too careless, I'm really sorry..."

His unfinished words were interrupted by Shanks' extremely dignified tone: "Show me what you have in your hand."

Jesus Bu hurriedly handed over the twisted metal can.

Shanks looked at this light and light thing repeatedly for a long time, and finally recovered his frustrated expression. He looked at the cloth of Jesus who hadn't had time to wash his face: "This is an ordinary aluminum can, right?"

"correct."

"Why did it explode?" Shanks asked inexplicably as his nerves relaxed.

"Uh... I guess it's because the air inside expands too much after heating." Jesus Bu was very clear that he couldn't explain too complicated principles to his boss.

"It turned out to be heated!" Shanks breathed a long sigh of relief, showing a big smile, "Hahahaha, Jesus, please go and wash your face! And this hairstyle is really too funny!"

Beckman interrupted and asked, "What was the boss thinking just now?"

"Maybe I was overthinking," Shanks threw away the discarded small aluminum can, "The diving gas cylinder Hawkeye bought looks very similar to this little thing, but what is this pocket gas cylinder for? ?”

"That's not a gas cylinder, it's a self-heating food jar." Lackey recounted his knowledgeable experience with Jesus Bu when he first got off the boat.

"If it is not necessary, don't you attack the pirates in Pitty Town..." Beckman nodded after listening to the report, "The pirates who can reach Pitty Town safely must have certain strength and luck. Mr. Si is very wise, which is conducive to the preservation of the entire island."

"The successor of Swordsman Palindi...what does this Mr. Perth look like?" Shanks suddenly asked thoughtfully.

"We didn't inquire about it, but we only guessed that if Hawkeye met him, he would be eager to fight, right?"

"I still feel a little restless," Shanks said to himself, "The Palindi family is everywhere in Pitty Town, if what Hawkeye is looking for is the sword of the great swordsman..."

He suddenly suppressed the last bit of his smile, and looked at his deputy seriously, "The priceless treasure from ancestors in the eyes of businessmen, the weapon that persistent swordsmen have always yearned for? Who do you think will care more about that knife?"

"We don't know much about that guy, but judging from the clues, he is the leader of the bounty hunter and has made such a prosperous business. His ability is beyond doubt." Beckman took a deep breath, "At least he has a calculating eagle. The reason for the eyes, whether as the successor of the swordsman, or a businessman."

Shanks frowned deeply and was silent for a while.Beckman clearly saw the worry written on the other party's face.

"Hawkeye said before he left that he was facing a challenge. That guy respectfully abided by the rules of the game in his heart." Shanks slowed down his speech and whispered, "He is fighting with this sea." The power of the sword and the duel of swordsmen a hundred years ago, then..."

Beckman watched his captain stand up firmly, the wind was blowing the black cloak, making a hunting sound.The red-haired man resolutely pulled out the knife from his waist, "We, the red-haired pirates, must protect the fairness of this duel for our friends, and we must not let miscellaneous fish mess up the situation..."

"This is an obligation." The captain of the Reid finally ended his not-so-long speech in a deep voice.

Faced with this inspiring rhetoric, Beckman had to admit that newspapers are definitely the best teaching materials for teaching people to talk about scenes. He pinched his cigarette and asked, "Are we going to chase Hawkeye?"

Shanks suddenly became frowning: "But I have said goodbye to him two or three times."

"Then we can stay here." Beckman immediately gave a reference, "Although we have been watched by the locals during the voyage these days, it is obviously not the elite of them, and it is certainly not enough to deal with Hawkeye. "

"Hawkeye also mentioned that the aborigines who have been following us may have some intentions," Shanks suddenly remembered what Mihawk reminded himself, "All kinds of clues seem to point to bad possibilities."

"We didn't meet any ships during the voyage from Days Island to Pitty Town, so I think, if that Mr. Perth really wants to do something to Hawkeye, he must set off here." Beckman continued Lighting a cigarette, he continued to explain, "The location of this ferry is very good. Any boat that goes against the current cannot escape our sight. I have been staying on Redd, and I can be sure that after we arrive in Pitty Town, Only Hawkeye sailed to Days Island alone."

"In other words, we just need to keep an eye on the boats on the sea and stop all the guys who are going to the direction of Days Island until Hawkeye returns safely, right?" At the critical moment, alcohol can't affect the captain of the Reid judgment.

"Of course, the safest way is to catch up directly."

Shanks thought for a moment, and finally showed a hearty smile, "Then wait here! Don't make everyone fuss because of my little suspicion. Besides, Hawkeye definitely doesn't want me to catch up for this reason."

"Understood, I'll arrange for the watchman on duty." Beckman turned and left.

When the sky was getting brighter, Shanks, who had been leaning on the deck and dozed, tried to cheer up.He began to regret that he drank too much wine last night. At this moment, his headache felt as if it was being grinded back and forth by a blunt knife. The only good thing was that he didn't receive any bad news all night.

Shanks stood up, moved his stiff limbs, and was about to wash and wake up, when he saw Jesus cloth climbing down from the observation deck exhaustedly—the sniper was arranged by the deputy captain to be on duty during the most sleepy time, to make up for it. own mistakes.

"Thank you for your hard work," Shanks raised his head and greeted, "Is there a ship passing by?"

Jesus Bu yawned, squeezed some tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, boss, why won't you be called if there is a situation?"

Hawkeye should have arrived at Days Island by this time, maybe he already got the knife.Even if that guy named Boss started his journey now, it would probably be too late to do anything to Hawkeye.Shanks, who had great trust in Mihawk's frontal combat ability, thought of this layer, and suddenly felt that his drowsy head became lighter.

Just when the red-haired man was relieved, he saw Beckman striding forward with a serious face.

"I just went to the port and asked the locals who got up early to fish," Beckman said eagerly before approaching Shanks. "They said that Perth's boat...is a submarine! I'm afraid he is already in the We set off at midnight!"

Shanks' toothbrush fell to the deck all of a sudden, at that second, he heard his own heartbeat clearly, an extremely strong coldness snaked up his spine, stiffened all his senses, and rushed straight to on the chaotic brain.

The red-haired man with a mouth full of white toothpaste stood straight for a moment, and suddenly he punched heavily on the wall, causing a large piece of wood to crack.

Beckman strode up to his captain, pressed Shanks' shoulders with both hands, "Calm down!"

He saw Shanks turn his head slowly, the uncontrollable intensity in his eyes seemed to tear the three old scars on his left eye.

"It was my negligence that hurt Hawkeye!" Shanks squeezed out the words through clenched teeth.

This person always likes to carry everything about his friends on his shoulders. Beckman didn't know how to evaluate this self-critical sentence, so he could only pat the captain on the shoulder comfortingly, "You have to believe in the strength of Hawkeye, he Not that weak, even a whole ship may not be his opponent."

"The locals naturally have their advantages..." Shanks collected himself, and suddenly remembered that these were the words Mihawk had reminded himself, and he never thought he would remember them.

"I'm not worried about someone directly challenging Hawkeye," Shanks wiped off the toothpaste foam on his mouth, "but that guy is cautious, but he's an open-minded person, if anyone plays tricks in the dark..."

"Think of a remedy, since this has happened." Beckman also flicked the ash with a little worry.

The hangover headache reoccupied Shanks' head, the red-haired pirate leader rubbed his temples and sat on the deck in silence for a while, and finally pulled himself together and stood up straight.He stared at the calm waves ahead, and gave instructions simply and firmly: "Beckman, get me a speedboat with full fuel immediately. Then you take Red and rush to Days Island as fast as possible. .”

"Yes." The deputy captain of the Reid immediately took the order and left.

Shanks looked at the back of his right-hand assistant leaving quickly, and pressed the straw hat on his head firmly: "Wait for me a little longer...don't let anything happen! Hawkeye!"
