Chapter 1280
The town mentioned by the blue hair is not difficult to find. You can basically see it by turning over a place that obscures your view. The muddy soil, noisy crowds, rough voices and chaotic streets together make up this town.
After stroking his straw hat, Shanks showed a relieved smile. The town where pirates gather is like this. If there is no mess, there is really a problem.
The Barton Tavern in the center is not difficult to find, and the area of the town itself can be swept away at a glance.
When pushing the door and walking in, some people at the door glanced at Shanks who came in, and after simply judging that there was no threat, they made a loud noise, accompanied by the smell of inferior ale and the smell of the feet of those pirates, the whole There was a strange smell in the tavern.
This is a tavern opened shortly after the island of chaos was formed. Being able to open a tavern in such a place proves something in itself. The owner of the tavern is named Barton, a fat man in his forties. It is said that he returned from the New World. Pirates, but no one knows which pirate group he belongs to in the new world, or what he has done.
These pirates only know that the fat man is very powerful, so powerful that the pirates who made trouble here before have disappeared without a sound.
Taverns have always been a good place to gather subordinates and inquire about news, this is an unchanging truth no matter which world you are in. Shanks looked around for a week, keeping most of the pirates in his eyes sharply, he was observing and selecting.
After Roger died, he thought that he should do something for the captain, and according to his understanding of the captain, the best way was to inherit his will and gallop on the sea.
So he wants to build his own pirate group, while inheriting the captain's belief, while also fulfilling his own dream, until one day he finds the person who can entrust the straw hat.
Because he followed Guo Xuan to cultivate his mind, Shanks at this time is very different from the original book. Although he is not as able to listen to everything as Roger, he can truly grasp the strengths and weaknesses and general thoughts of most people.
But according to his observation, there are very few people who are qualified to be recognized by him as crew members here. Disappointed but also relieved, after all, according to his standards, most of the seafarers are unqualified.
His eyes narrowed, and after a while, he found a target. It was a guy about his own age, with a long face, a pointed jaw, a high nose bridge, and clear facial lines. Although he was sitting, he seemed to be full of explosive power. The pocket of his jacket was bulging, and Shanks deduced that it must be a pack of cigarettes.
This young man was eating a sea fish meal with his head down, and there was a rifle next to him, which could be grabbed by him immediately at any time.
"That's him!" Shanks recognized the young man at the first glance.
"Boss, two glasses of rum!" Shanks shouted, the fat tavern owner didn't speak, and skillfully picked up two glasses from below and handed them over, which were full of rum.
Rum is a must-have drink for sailors on the sea, and Roger used to like it very much.
When he took the two glasses of wine handed by the tavern owner, Shanks keenly noticed that there was a scar on his arm, and the previous pattern could no longer be seen clearly, but it was not difficult for Shanks. According to the remaining pattern, He could clearly deduce that it was a pattern of a beast, Shanks had seen this pattern when he was in the Roger Pirates.
Glancing thoughtfully at the boss, Shanks took the glass and turned towards the young man.
boom!
One person sat down heavily in front of him, and Beckman immediately stopped sending food to his mouth, and his left hand fell down like lightning, and he could easily grab the rifle next to him.
The smell of wine wafted into his nostrils, he paused, and finally failed to grab his weapon.
"It's my first time meeting, my name is Shanks, red haired Shanks, what do you call a friend." Shanks smiled and pushed a wine glass over at the same time.
Beckman didn't go to pick it up, but raised his head and said coldly, "I don't have the habit of calling brothers and sisters with guys I meet for the first time."
Facing the indifferent attitude, Shanks was not discouraged at all, but smiled, "It's okay, the next time we meet, it won't be the first time we meet, how about you? Are you interested in coming to my boat to be my partner? I just need a big friend." vice!"
Beckman's expression was a bit strange, maybe it was the first time he saw Shanks who was careless and carefree, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Interesting, there are so many people here, why did you choose me?"
Shanks smiled and said, "It's very simple, I feel... the first time I saw you, I thought you were my first officer, don't show that expression, our former captain also found the first officer for this reason. Captain's."
Beckman didn't laugh, although he thought the reason was actually very funny, he snorted softly and pushed the wine glass back, "I refuse!"
Shanks shrugged with a smile, took off the straw hat and put it on the table, "Don't refuse in such a hurry, I can see that you are not the kind of person who is content with being ordinary, how about it, you will experience the most exciting experience in the world with me How about conquering the sea together?"
"I don't think there's anything to talk about with an idiot, and I don't think an idiot can conquer the sea."
Shanks' expression remained unchanged, "Really, then you should tell me your name, otherwise I can't call you hello."
"I have no obligation to tell you, and you don't have to call me."
Chapter 145 Give me face
"hey-hey……"
Faced with Beckman's bad attitude, Shanks showed an indifferent attitude, which made Beckman very unhappy. ""The pirates who have agreed are all irritable, and if they disagree with each other, they will go to war. Why is this guy so good-tempered, how can I drive him away?
Shanks took a sip of the rum and said with a smile, "It's fine if you don't want to say it, but you don't want to run away, and it looks like you're in trouble, how do you think about it, being my first mate , I will help you settle all your troubles in the future."
"En!" Beckman's eyes narrowed slightly, and his right hand clenched the Leifle for an instant, "You bastard, are you a lackey of the navy?"
"Oh, it turns out that you offended the navy. No wonder so many people are hostile to you. In this way, we are all the same, and I am also an enemy of the navy."
Shanks smiled and looked around intentionally or unintentionally. There were various pirates and bounty hunters sitting there. They were very secretive among the crowd, let alone normal people, even if they were Even the experienced and strong can't detect it.
But Shanks is different, he can observe any subtleties, no matter how well the other party hides, he can feel the slightest malice.
And just when Shanks glanced at the hidden strong men, several figures rushed up with a bang, the wine and food on the table were spilled all over the floor, and the three figures rushed towards Beckman in an instant. The tavern became chaotic in an instant.
The pirates who didn't know why immediately boiled over. They held their wine glasses as if they were watching a long-lost entertainment program. While leaving enough space, they surrounded Beckman's place in the center and shouted loudly.
Beckman has turned over and dodged out, and the gun in his hand has been shooting at a person who is rushing, bang bang bang!
The loud noise shocked the pirates around at the same time. It was by no means the power that a normal riffle should have. Every bullet was like a cannonball. Bullets, the wall on one side of the tavern suddenly collapsed amidst the loud noise.
The lightning-like three of them had already surrounded Beckman in the center. Their movements were even faster than the speed of human silhouettes. The afterimages of each other were intersecting with each other. Accompanied by the occasional gunshots, the entire tavern suddenly became chaotic. .
The faces of the pirates who thought it was just a simple conflict changed suddenly, and the chaos quickly spread. The pirates rushed towards the door as if they were fleeing. Naturally, they would not have any discipline at all. They exclaimed in the chaos, Shouting and shouting mixed together.
And Beckman's bullet had already taken the lives of several pirates.
The fat owner of the tavern watched the chaos calmly, and was still cleaning the transparent goblet rhythmically. In the chaos, most of the people in the tavern disappeared within two minutes.
As the battle between Beckman and the others escalated, more and more places were destroyed, and the tavern owner's eyes gradually became dimmed, but he did not act at this time.
In the tavern, there are still some people who have not left, and Shanks is one of them. He sat in the original position very indifferently, picked up the rum and drank it in one gulp. At the same time, he watched the battle not far away, showing great interest, as if he was watching a theater.
No matter whether it was bullets or other similar energy, they couldn't cause any harm to him, and those attacks naturally passed by his side as if they had eyes.
Apart from him, there were less than ten people in the tavern, and they were also watching the few people in the battle. Shanks swept over two of them, and he obviously felt the malice from them.
The rest are pirates who have absolute confidence in their own strength. They don't care who is doing it, anyway, they have the confidence to protect themselves no matter what the situation.
boom!
As the blood mist erupted, one of the people surrounding Beckman fell to the ground. When the figure turned around, he quickly passed a few moves with the other two. When he found an opportunity, he shot twice in a row, and the other two also fell to the ground one after another.
Panting for breath, Beckman glanced at the crowd who were still present, and raised the Raifel again.
The owner of the tavern stopped wiping his goblet. Now that the battle is over, it is about time for him to appear on the stage. He wants to let others understand that he dared to make trouble in this tavern. Only in this way can the tavern continue to be here. Drive through the chaotic place.
The moment the wine glass was put down, a figure appeared in front of him, and red hair caught his eyes.
"Huh?" The tavern owner made a nasal sound.
Shanks smiled and said, "I'm sorry, he is my future first mate, so he can't have an accident here, how about saving face?"
"It's not that anyone can let me save face!" The tavern owner said in a deep voice.
