A sledgehammer breaks into pirates

The first half of the Grand Line, on the Island of the Queen of Spring.

In an ordinary tavern, a group of pirates were sitting.

This group of pirates is the red-haired pirates.

Red-haired Shanks, because of the appearance of Crocodile, he not only broke an arm in the new world, but also messed up all his plans.

He was completely defeated in the new world, and even now he has not recovered.

The red-haired pirates did not successfully reach the top of the new world as he planned.

There was no increase in strength, and Katakuri and others were absorbed into the pirate group.

On the contrary, in the New World, heavy losses were also suffered.

In the end, the biggest winner in the Totland Sea was the Warhammer Pirates, a pirate group that had no involvement in almost the entire process.

Everything he did was either making wedding clothes for Orgrim or Crocodile.

This hit Shanks very hard, and he was a little discouraged.

After leaving the new world, he didn't know what to do.

The entire red-haired pirate group just wandered around with nothing to do. Recently, they came to the Queen of Spring Island.

The atmosphere in the red-haired pirate group was quite good at this time and did not seem oppressive.

Many officers and crew members were chatting in the tavern.

However, Shanks did not participate. He sat quietly at the bar, holding a wine glass with his only remaining hand and drinking alone.

Different from the high-spirited people in the new world, Shanks at this time has an unkempt beard and a bit dirty. He has not been groomed for a long time, and he looks a bit down and out.

After drinking all the wine in the glass, Shanks casually placed the glass on the bar. The bartender inside quickly filled a glass of strong liquor without asking.

"belch..."Shanks burped

"golden city..."He murmured softly.

Spring Queen Island can be considered a large island in the first half of the Grand Line.

The infrastructure is also relatively developed and naturally has live broadcast equipment.

Not long ago, he just watched the live broadcast of the opening of Golden City.

The opening of the Golden City symbolizes that the Warhammer Pirates have taken a further step in power.

They have become stronger in the new world!

Previously, I had been targeting Orgrim and working hard for my competitors, but no matter how hard I tried, it seemed that I could never catch up with Orgrim.

Orgrim keeps winning, but he, like a joke, keeps losing.

At this moment, he seemed to have understood what Captain Roger said when he was still on Captain Roger's ship.

"Living in the same era as Orgrim is both lucky and unfortunate. Fortunately, we can see Orgrim create legends and create an era. Unfortunately, perhaps all his contemporaries will be influenced by him. covered by the light of...."

At that time, when Captain Roger said this, he was still a little regretful. He regretted that his health was not good and he could not see this scene.

But I was not convinced at all, thinking that one day I would be able to defeat Orgrim.

But in reality, they didn't just slap him, they simply pushed Shanks to the ground and beat him until his body was completely bruised!

"Unlucky...? yes...This is really unfortunate, living in the same era as you...Orgrim." Shanks murmured with a wry smile, and then picked up the wine glass that had just been filled on the bar, ready to drink some more.

Just when Shanks put the glass to his lips, the door of the tavern suddenly opened. was pushed away.

The pirates in the tavern all looked at the door in surprise.

After all, this tavern had been booked by their red-haired pirates.

Although the red-haired pirates were defeated and retreated to the new world, They have arrived at the first half of the Grand Line, but no matter what, they still have the status of King Shichibukai.

Compared with Orgrim and the others, the red-haired pirates are the losers.

But for the rest of the people on the sea , they are still strong.

There is no reason to be provoked in a place like this, right?

Shanks also looked over, and then he was stunned.

It was a figure wearing black noble clothes, wearing a Wearing an aristocratic hat, his eyes are like hawks, full of sharpness. Just looking at each other can put people under great pressure. He is not very tall, and he is carrying a handful behind him, which makes him look a little funny. The black sword.

It feels ordinary, but it has the aura of a strong man.

The world's greatest swordsman, Joracol Mihawk.

The veteran leader of the Warhammer Pirates.

I saw it was Mihawk. Behind the figure, the pirates of the red-haired pirate group did not speak.

They all knew that although Mihawk was the leader of the Warhammer Pirates, he seemed to be somewhat involved with his own captain.

Mihawk As soon as Ke entered the door, he saw Shanks who looked decadent.

He frowned slightly and seemed a little dissatisfied. He didn't care whether the pub was booked and walked in directly.

"What you look like really surprises me and is so disappointing. Mihawk said without mercy.

Then, without any courtesy, he sat down next to Shanks and said to the bartender at the bar:"A glass of wine.""

The bartender has always been the most discerning person among all walks of life.

Therefore, the moment Mihawk entered the door, he had already recognized Mihawk. He thought that there might be a fight between dragons and tigers, but as a result, Mihawk, a member of the Warhammer Pirates, didn't seem to have any hostility.

Not daring to delay anything, the bartender quickly went to pour Mihawk a drink.

Shanks swallowed the drink and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. Said:"A loser should naturally look like a loser, what? Are you here to mock me? Or do you want to compete with me? Mihawk was still not polite and said directly:"I'm not bored enough to come all the way to mock you. As for sparring or something, that was my original plan, but now...Forget it, you not only lost a hand, your sword...It's not as sharp as before."

"Are you looking down on me?" Shanks suddenly became angry. While roaring, he slammed the wine glass in his hand on the bar.

In an instant, the wine glass exploded, and the remaining wine inside splashed everywhere.

Mihawk remained the same. He was calm, looking at Shanks who was like an angry lion, and stretched out his hand to wipe the drink splashed on his face.

All the members of the red-haired pirate group also looked here.

But they did not take action. He looked at them quietly, with somewhat complicated eyes.

Shanks seemed to have found an outlet in Mihawk, and roared:"It's true that I am a loser, I am so despicable, and cooperated with the navy, I cooperated with the pirates, connected to Katakuri, and put all my reputation and future on that bet. I lost, I lost everything, even my arm. I was never favored by anyone. , Crocodile, who didn't even notice, took advantage and was kicked out of the new world in embarrassment....Poor, right? Sad, right? If you want to laugh at me or look down on me, just laugh or look down on me, but...Mihawk...From beginning to end, did I do anything wrong? I...Didn't you make a mistake? Pirates, isn't that how they should be? Am I wrong?!"

At this time, Shanks was like a lion forced to a dead end. He was irritable, irritable, and had lost confidence in the future and the current situation. He was full of the aura of destruction.

Mihawk did not He opened his mouth and looked at him like that, with some regret in his eyes.

He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of wine quietly.

But it was just a sip, and there seemed to be no wine left in his mouth. After swallowing, Mihawk raised his hand and poured the wine glass in his hand at Shanks.

In one move, he poured it on Shanks' head. The scarlet wine was like blood, which made Shanks sigh. On the stubbled face, flowing freely

"Is this what you want to say? Then you are really far behind Crocodile, let alone Orgrim. You are really a complete loser....In terms of swords, if it is too strong, it will break easily. In terms of people, the same is true. Red hair, your heart is higher than the sky....But I don’t understand this truth."Mihawk said softly.

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Shanks to say anything. He put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up from the bar, and left without any intention of staying.

Just like that, he came in a hurry. He left in a hurry and disappeared into the tavern.

Shanks stood there quietly, letting the scarlet wine drip from his face.

The red-haired pirates did not chase Mi Hawke, that bastard who dared to throw wine in their captain’s face.

As if these things never happened, they turned around and started drinking again with a smile.

"Hahaha..."Shanks suddenly laughed.

He did not continue to sit on the bar, but leaned against the bar, gradually sliding down and sitting on the floor.

The tip of his tongue stuck out and licked the wine stains at the corner of his mouth. His wet hair covered his sight.

"Heart is higher than the sky...? yes...My heart is as high as the sky, but I am not even as good as Crocodile...."Shanks sat on the floor and muttered to himself.

Crocodile, nearly twenty years ago, challenged Whitebeard, was betrayed by his crew and subordinates, and had one of his arms cut off by Whitebeard. He left the new world like a lost dog.

His ambition ended seemingly in embarrassment.

Being underestimated and slandered by the world, carrying the name of 'the good-for-nothing king under the Shichibukai', he has been working quietly in Alabasta.

In the past twenty years, the world had humiliated him, despised him, and had constant rumors, but Crocodile never responded.

Just pretend that none of these exist.

The forbearance of the past twenty years, once it broke out in the new world, it had the potential to reach the sky!

I, it was really not unfair to lose to him....

Now, I am just the same as Crocodile...No, it should be said that he is better than Crocodile. At least, his partners did not betray him, an incompetent captain, right?

Broken an arm and rolled out of the new world.

But what are you doing?

Living in confusion, losing confidence...

I am really not as good as Crocodile.

"Your sword is not as sharp as before."

What Mihawk just said appeared in Shanks' mind again.

Yes, he is rusty.

It's not scary to have a broken arm, but the scary thing is that the whole person is rusty.

Mihawk He is right, as with a knife, it is easy to break if it is too strong, and the same is true for people.

He seems to be smooth and despicable, going in and out of the new world, cooperating with the navy, cooperating with pirates, and planning those messy conspiracies.

But...I am exactly the 'hard' one.

He, Shanks, never thought of bowing his head like Crocodile.

But if you don’t lower your head, how can you raise it?

Crocodile bowed his head as soon as he entered the new world.

Back then, Orgrim also bowed his head as soon as he entered the new world.

But now, Orgrim holds his head high, and Crocodile will surely hold his head high in the future.

I was the only one who never bowed my head, but the look of him raising his head in embarrassment was really sad and ridiculous.

"It’s true, my heart is higher than the sky and my life is thinner than paper....It's time to lower my arrogant and ridiculous head...."Shanks whispered to himself.

Then, he suddenly asked:"Jesus Bu, tell me, what is the purpose of lowering your head?" Jesus

Bu, who was drinking, put down the wine glass in his hand and turned to look at Shank, who was hanging his head. Si, smiled and said:"Does this need to be said? Captain...Of course it’s to raise your head to look more handsome!"

"Hahahahahaha..."Shanks burst out laughing.

Then, he suddenly raised his head, his wet hair was flying a little, there was a smile on his lips, and there was no decadence in his eyes:"Am I handsome enough like this?"

"Of course, there is no man more handsome than you on the sea!"Jesus Bu said without hesitation.

At this moment, everyone in the red-haired pirate group understood that their captain was back.

"Welcome back, Captain, what do we do next? Lucky Lu asked with a smile.

Shanks grinned and said softly with a smile:"Be a dog, be a dog in the navy!" King Shichibukai...Isn’t that how it should be?"

Being a dog now is to be a wolf in the future!"
