"Long time no see, Bucky. You're still the same."
Seeing Bucky's expression of seeing a ghost, Shanks smiled very happily as he greeted him!
"...Yes, yes, it's you! Shanks!?"
Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Bucky confirmed that he had not mistaken the person, so he exclaimed.
If he were to choose the most annoying person in his 'colorful' life, it would be difficult to find another candidate except the red-haired Shanks who once caused him to accidentally eat a Devil Fruit!
Perhaps the Straw Hats, who were supposed to intertwine love and hate, should be regarded as the people he hates the most besides Shanks, but due to various reasons, Bucky no longer gets entangled with these proud men. I don’t know if it’s luck or misfortune.
So when Bucky found out that the tough guys they encountered today were actually the men of that annoying Shanks, he immediately got furious!
"Damn it! Shouldn't you stay in the New World? The West Sea is the hometown of you bastard. Why do you come to the East China Sea? Why do you have to appear in front of me!" Bucky was really crazy at this moment. He just couldn't wait to see this person in front of him. He poked more than a dozen holes in his body, but considering the identity and strength of the other four emperors, he decisively endured it. He looked completely stern and angry, just like a certain TV station's 8pm snarling drama.
And in what Bucky said to comfort himself, "The great Lord Bucky doesn't have the same knowledge as him!" Let's find a way to escape first.
It is undeniable that after confirming Shanks' identity, Bucky's uneasy heart immediately went back to his stomach. He hated it. After all, the two of them were old acquaintances. At least their lives were saved. This was already It's a blessing in misfortune.
But as soon as he thinks about his misery being seen by the other party, it may even be arranged by him secretly...
Bucky, who was having so much inner drama, really wanted to slap himself in the face. Why should he imitate others who went out to sea to rob when he had nothing to do? Why should he just go hunting for treasure honestly
Shanks observed Bucky's complicated face changing from white to red, then from red to green, and finally from green to black with great interest. He perfectly explained what a real 'face change' is!
"It's not convenient for me to tell you why I came to the East China Sea. Because this trip is secret, I have to temporarily aggrieve you and your companions. Before leaving the East China Sea, you are my prisoners."
"Prisoner? Impossible! Even if I, Bucky, jump from here or drown in the sea, I will never be your prisoner!"
What I fear the most is that the air will suddenly become quiet!
The smile on Shanks' face suddenly disappeared, as if he was thinking about how to deal with this situation...
The atmosphere was extremely depressing. When he saw that Shanks seemed to have inadvertently touched the Western sword on his waist, Bucky, who silently recited "It smells so good" in his heart, immediately broke the silence and said:
"Of course, for the sake of getting acquainted, I will give you this face. As for the prisoners, don't mention it again. It's too unpleasant! Just treat me as a guest for a while. My group The subordinates must also have the most basic humanitarian protection, and at least one meal must be provided every day, and... "
"Haha, you are still so humorous, Bucky! Don't worry, I will arrange it!" As Shanks' hearty laughter filled the whole room again, the oppressive atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and Bucky subconsciously wiped Wiping the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead.
Shanks didn't know what his careless actions had caused Bucky to think about. He was just happy that Bucky still regarded him as a friend and was willing to give him face.
You must know that as a person with the face fruit ability, every face given by others will contribute to the growth of his 'strength', and the secret of this is not enough for outsiders to understand!
So the two people who reached an agreement on this matter finally started to reminisce about the past. Although Bucky hated Shanks, they only had an quarrel because of the incident of eating the Devil Fruit by mistake. Shanks was deeply worried about this matter. I have always felt guilty.
The delicious and filling food and plenty of wine allowed the two "little devils" who had served as trainee crew members on Roger's ship to recall their original adventure stories bit by bit, and mentioned many people, some of whom had already They are no longer alive or missing, but some people are still alive, such as Rayleigh who is still in the Chambord Islands.
"I didn't expect Vice Captain Reilly to be so nosy. When he is buried, I have to pour all the wine he collected during his lifetime on his grave!" I don't know what he was remembering, but he was drunk. Bucky shouted while holding a cup in one hand.
Shanks, who was also a little drunk, slapped the table and laughed, indicating that he would be one of them!
"But if Vice Captain Rayleigh knew that you hadn't given up on your dream of becoming a treasure pirate, and had even become a 'famous' overlord of the East China Sea, I wonder if you would laugh out loud!" Shanks had no idea. He teased his former companion mercilessly.
Bucky immediately became furious, "You know what the heck! The true nature of a pirate is to 'rob wealth'. When I go through all the hard work to find the buried treasure, that sense of accomplishment is what I'm after!" "
His dream of going to sea is to obtain all the treasures in the world, and he is even often excited about it. He completely cannot understand why Shanks and other members of the pirate group are not interested in treasures. If they are not interested, so what? Want to go to sea and become a pirate
This is a question of values. In a sense, Bucky's idea is right. In his eyes, Shanks is not like a pirate at all, but more like an idiot adventurer with no brains.
This is why when faced with Shanks' invitation, he chose to refuse without hesitation and then went to sea alone.
Because they have different paths and do not conspire against each other, the two people pursue different things, and it is not entirely because of the incident of accidentally eating the devil fruit.
Shanks was stunned by Bucky's angry curse. He suddenly realized that neither he nor Vice Captain Rayleigh seemed to fully understand Bucky's thoughts.
So he put down his wine glass and asked with a serious face: "Do you want to go to the New World with me? There are countless treasures there. Do you want to stay in the East China Sea for the rest of your life and be a joking 'overlord'?"
Bucky was taken aback and was a little afraid to look at Shanks. He admitted that he was a person who had ambitions and desires and was willing to realize them.
But he is more self-aware!
His strength and methods all show that he does not have the ability to venture into the new world. So what if he does? Will you follow Shanks as a follower for the rest of your life
