Chapter 447 Porusalino: Quit the Navy Headquarters and Join the Red-Haired Pirates? !
Whether in the original plot of One Piece before Porusalino's time travel, or in the current timeline influenced by him, Shanks and Hawkeye are true friends. Because of this, Shanks, who is usually more informal, started teasing Hawkeye as soon as he opened his mouth.
In fact, he was not wrong in teasing him - the coffin behind Polusalino was indeed obtained from Hawkeye, but it was not snatched, but provided by Hawkeye himself.
"What if I say yes?"
Porusalino said with a smile as he laid the coffin flat on the ground.
"Hahaha, if so, then I must accept it! You are so interesting, Mr. Porusalino!"
After Shanks finished speaking with a laugh, he turned back to look at the other side of the tent. He was rubbing his trouser legs impatiently like a child, his eyes full of anticipation. He turned back to look at Porusalino, "It is said that this small There is a special fruit on the island. It will be slightly toxic when eaten simply, but if it is made into wine, it will have a different flavor! I came to this island specifically just to take a sip like this. Just in time, you took that guy Mihawk He brought his coffin boat, and soon we were sitting on his coffin boat, drinking from a big bowl! After drinking, we had to stand up and dance! We had to use a phone to record the whole process, and then sent it to him!"
It’s no wonder that Shanks and Luffy in the original plot are so close to each other - even as the pirate emperor whose every move can affect the world, his heart is still extremely pure, and he only cares about what he recognizes. In order to take a sip of special wine, he could take the time to go to such a deserted island at such an important moment when he rejected the invitation of the "Injustice League".
And after seeing Porusalino's coffin gift and learning its origin, he didn't bother to delve into whether there was any evil conspiracy. All he could think about was how to make good use of this precious and interesting gift— - Not only do you have to sit on the coffin and drink, you also have to dance on the coffin, and you also have to show off to the eagle eye of the "sufferer", highlighting an inconspicuous thing.
The members of the red-haired pirates who can station in this jungle with Shanks are basically Shanks' old subordinates. Many of them were from when Porusalino first came to Shanks. I saw him with my own eyes.
But even so, they only knew that their captain and Admiral Polusalino were on good terms with each other, and Polusalino had a personal relationship with their boss Shanks' friend "Hawkeye" Mihawk. It's not clear.
So someone couldn't help but look curiously at Vice Captain Ben Beckman, who was smoking silently next to him, and asked:
"Brother Beckman, does General Kizaru have a good relationship with Mr. Hawkeye?"
"He can't really bring Mr. Hawkeye's coffin boat. It looks similar to me..."
After the man finished speaking, he couldn't help but rub the back of his head and muttered.
Ben Beckman took the cigarette from his mouth and said calmly:
"Hawkeye is recognized by all kinds of swordsmen. When he ascended to the throne of the strongest swordsman in the world, didn't he say it himself? Admiral Porusalino defeated him in swordsmanship, but many people thought that He was just joking. After all, according to the intelligence, Hawkeye made the choice to join King Shichibukai after talking with General Porusalino."
The pirate who asked the question suddenly realized: "No wonder, I think about it. I heard this statement before, but I didn't take it seriously..."
"As for this coffin, it should be right, it belongs to Hawkeye."
Ben Beckman frowned slightly - with his eyesight, he was sure immediately that the coffin was an authentic product from Hawkeye, but the question was, why did Porusalino carry this thing on his back?
If it was their Captain Shanks, he might even play a scary prank by hiding in a coffin out of tune, but that Hawkeye basically had nothing to do with anything that wasn't serious. .
Is that the literal meaning? Are you delivering a coffin to the red-haired pirates? Want to wipe them out?
But Ben Beckman thought he knew Porusalino, and he didn't think the other party would do such an outrageous thing. The Navy Headquarters or the World Government are even less likely - because they rejected the invitation of the Injustice Alliance, they are currently the last neutral faction among the top forces in the New World. Unless the World Government or the Navy Headquarters have lost their minds at this time, Only then will they choose to deal with them.
and……
Ben Beckman "scanned" the coffin with his powerful insight and domineering energy. There was something inside, not nothing...
Under Shanks' urging, jumping up and down like a monkey, a barrel of fruit wine brewed by his subordinates was finally carried to him.
Shanks, whose eyes were shining, couldn't wait to scoop up a bowl, sniffed it, and poured it into his mouth.
The other pirates in the red-haired pirate group next to them also had the same behavior style as Shanks. After other barrels containing fruit wine were brought up, they also directly served it in the big bowl.
Lucky Lu, a red-haired senior cadre of the pirate group who was obese and could not leave his mouth, even plunged his head directly into the bucket in front of him. After several big gulps, he continued to gnaw on the fruit wine with relish. meat leg inside.
To be honest, the brewing process of the red-haired pirates' wine is extremely crude, and the wine itself is extremely turbid. When Shanks scooped out the unwashed bowl, Porusalino could see clearly that his calloused fingers touched the surface of the wine.
This makes Porusalino feel very subtle, very much like the food style of Sange before he traveled through time, focusing on "clean and hygienic"...
However, considering that Shanks was truly hospitable and enthusiastic, he took great courage, found a relatively clean bowl aside, and took a few sips in style - well, IGN scored 8 points level?
However, Shanks smacked his lips and drank five large bowls in a row. It seemed that he could give full marks.
Porusalino understood that Shanks was a typical "he made these dumplings just for the vinegar" - in the eyes of this pirate emperor, the important thing is not the wine in his stomach now, but the relationship with him. The feeling of drinking together with friends, the process of coming here to make wine together.
Without bothering to talk to Porusalino, Shanks drank most of the barrel of wine without stopping. He didn't put down the wine bowl until he let out a loud belch.
"Mr. Porusalino, if you want to confirm whether our red-haired pirate group will fall to the Injustice Alliance,"
Shanks sat down on the coffin brought by Porusalino, looked at him and said, "Then don't worry, Whitebeard values his family more, Frasier values his strength more, and I just want to replace him." Captain Roger witnessed this era of great pirates, and then had an endless adventure party with his companions.”
"So, with the Injustice Alliance already owning two of the four historical pieces of road signs leading to Raffdru, I will never let the piece in my hand have a chance to meet them—— We also reached a consensus on blocking the Laffdru route."
"However, if I say this and General Porusalino doesn't feel at ease, or if you receive a hidden mission from the World Government and have to take my head, an unstable factor, then I can achieve it today. I wish I could fight you with my true strength... No matter whether I end up lying in the coffin you brought, I will be very happy."
Shanks said half-jokingly: "Maybe when I get to Underworld, I can exchange experiences with Captain Roger!"
But as soon as he spoke, the originally relaxed atmosphere in the venue became solemn.
Shanks' voice was not loud, but the pirates around him who were experts in the New World still heard clearly. They put down their glasses and bowls in unison and stopped talking.
At this moment, Shanks, who had always seemed like a foolish young man at the entrance to the village, looked more like one of the pirate emperors who was at the top of all pirates.
"How can there be so much fighting and killing in the sea? It's just human nature. Besides, I also love peace. Fighting and other things are the most annoying~"
Porushalino turned a blind eye to the glances from around him. He asked Ben Beckman for a cigar with a smile, lit it with the laser, and started puffing away:
"Besides, if I want to take your head, why do I do it alone? Isn't it easy and simple for our naval headquarters to have the artillery fire of the large fleet covering it?"
Having said this, Porusalino paused and looked at Shanks with a smile on his face:
"So I came to you today to do three things. The first thing is to drink, which I have already done. The second thing is to give you a gift. The coffin is under your ass. The third thing is to have a chat with you. About being a pirate..."
Shanks was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He slapped his thigh and jumped up:
"Isn't it? General Porusalino?! You didn't make me happy, did you?! Are you planning to leave the Navy Headquarters and join our red-haired pirates?!"
"..."
Porusalino looked at Ben Beckman in silence, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear - your captain, the boss of your red-haired group, has such a brain?
"..."
Ben Beckman was also silent and tilted his head. He felt the same as Marshal Sengoku and others when they were rendered speechless by Porusalino - it was so embarrassing.
"What's wrong? Aren't our red-haired pirates bad?"
Shanks blinked and immediately pointed around and said, "Everyone in this camp is a friend who can trust their life! And there are banquets every day, how happy it is!"
Porusalino looked around, scanning the leaders of the red-haired pirates one by one, and then nodded - Shanks was indeed right.
But to be fair, if Porusalino really wanted to be a pirate, why didn't he join the Roger Pirates directly? Or would it be a good idea to form your own pirate group to recruit people? He can definitely bring all the powerful characters in various plots onto his side!
So to put it bluntly, his goal from the beginning was to be an iron rice bowl within the world government system! And compared to having a party with nothing to do all day long, he prefers the pleasure of having a fixed job but being able to fish at any time!
"Long of the Revolutionary Army also recruited me and made me the boss."
Porusalino deliberately showed a thoughtful expression and joked, "What conditions can you offer? Can you change the name of the Red Hair Pirates?"
Shanks looked around the camp and sighed sadly:
"Forget it, my own partners, I can only rest assured if I lead them myself."
After hearing what Shanks said, all the members of the red-haired pirates, even Beckman, who was usually the most serious, couldn't help but smile.
Porusalino also smiled and shook his head:
"Okay, Shanks, let's talk about the third point with you about being a pirate later. Now let's discuss the second point. You first look at the coffin under your butt and open it."
"coffin?"
Although Shanks didn't know why, he still did as he was told, and Beckman and others also gathered around curiously.
"It won't be a whole coffin of treasure, right? I know that some pirates will bury their treasures with themselves before they die."
Shanks smiled and said so easily, while pushing open the coffin lid neatly, "When I die, I will definitely put all kinds of fine wine and gifts from my friends, and if it was Hawkeye, I would probably put them there." They’re all knives, all kinds of things.”
Then he froze.
"This is the body of Ryoma, the legendary dragon-slaying swordsman and swordsman of Wano. It was stolen from Wano. After discussing with Hawkeye, I borrowed his coffin ship. Now The love boat of the world's most powerful swordsman is quite suitable to house the corpse of this legendary swordsman."
"As for why I brought it to you, well, I wanted to ask Shanks to take it to Wano Country and then return it to the young general Kozuki Hiyori there."
Porusalino rubbed his stubble-covered chin and raised the corners of his mouth slightly as he said this.
