Chapter 600: The Appeal of Fine Wine to Pirates
"Sister Cuixiang, can you give me some more of your wine? Just one sip, just one sip!"
"What sister Cuixiang?! I want to call you Master Cuixiang! Master Cuixiang, please do me a favor! Give me a sip of wine!"
"I want it too! I want it too!"
"It's over... Ever since I drank Master Cuixiang's wine, I can no longer drink other wine..."
"If the boss can't get Sister Suixiang to join our pirate group, should we join Xie Wen instead?"
"...What a great idea!"
As Xie Wen expected, Cuixiang Meow single-handedly defeated the entire red-haired pirate group, including Shanks. But what he didn't expect was that when they woke up the next day, at least a third of them would be dead. All the members of Yi were eagerly surrounding Suixiang, just to take a sip of Ibuki sake.
"Xie Wen, I think what you said yesterday is quite reasonable..."
Shanks ignored his friends who were clamoring to change jobs. Instead, he found Xie Wen and put his arm around his shoulders.
"What?"
Xie Wen, who couldn't react, looked confused. He said a lot of things yesterday, and he really didn't know which part Shanks was talking about.
"Ahem, I'm just teaching you how to avoid and kill on sight..." Shanks deliberately avoided looking at Xie Wen and said sarcastically: "They are Captain Roger's tricks after all, so... yours Is there more reward?”
"...You want Ibuki wine, right?"
After staring at Shanks speechlessly for a while, making him look embarrassed and at a loss, Xie Wen rolled his eyes and asked firmly.
"Yes, yes!" Shanks nodded quickly, pointed at the red-haired pirate members who were making noises, and explained plausibly: "It's not that I want to drink it. , look at what they look like, if I hadn’t asked you for some Ibuki sake, all my friends would have run away!”
If I hadn't known what was going on over there with Whitebeard, I might have really believed it.
Xie Wen rolled his eyes speechlessly again, but did not expose his excuse.
After all, he was prepared to trade with Shanks from the beginning, and for Cuixiang Meow, who has the ability of density fruit, it is impossible to pour out the wine in her wine gourd...
Just as Xie Wen expected, after Shanks reached a deal with Xie Wen, he planned to drink most of the Ibuki sake and only took out two or three barrels to appease his subordinates.
It's just that unlike the Whitebeard Pirates of Ichidendo, the superior-subordinate relationship of the Red-haired Pirates is not that obvious, so Shanks' "plot" of monopolizing most of Ibuki's sake was basically dismissed as Baker from the very beginning. Several cadres led by Man discovered it.
The final result was, of course, that even the share that should have gone to Shanks was divided among the members of the red-haired pirate group who turned against Tiangang.
"Don't look at me, our deal is over."
Facing Shanks' eager gaze, Xie Wen decisively put his hands in front of him and made a big cross.
Although Ibuki sake is no different than water to the investigation team, it does not prevent him from adding insult to injury and reading Shanks' jokes.
Of course, Xie Wen finally "sneakly" stuffed a bottle of Ibuki wine into Shanks, after all...
Hua Mei Miao still needs his help and guidance, right?
Xie Wen, who is proficient in various workplace skills, still understands this bit of worldliness when needed.
Sure enough, after receiving an "extra" bottle of Ibuki from Xie Wen, Shanks immediately beamed and took the initiative to bring up the matter of giving advice.
"Don't you want me to teach Huamei Divine Avoidance and Wisdom Killing? Without further ado, let's get started! In addition, you and others can also listen to it. Even if you don't have Overlord Color and Dominance, some of these techniques can be Still very useful.”
So soon, Shanks was surrounded by Xie Wen and a group of cats, while the red-haired pirates were completely uninterested and started the second banquet with the newly obtained Ibuki wine...
Well, this operation is very pirate-like.
"Come, let me first see how well you master the Overlord Color Haki."
Because Xie Wen had already mentioned to Shanks that Hua Mei Miao had thought about the use of Overlord Color, so he did not directly start to teach the experience. Instead, he took out the "Griffin" from his waist and planned to see Hua Mei Miao first. Mei Miao’s foundation.
No, no, according to the habits of the pirate world, even if you don't know this, this teaching probably starts with "Let's fight first."
Just when Xie Wen was thinking wildly, Lord Xiang Feihu, who was named, had already stood in front of Shanks. Hua Mei Miao, who knew that his strength was not as good as the opponent's, didn't waste any words and just used his strongest attack.
Fur mode·on!
Link Time·On!
See and hear, kill and open!
The little tabby cat with both black and blue lightning wrapped around its body flashed and came to Shanks' left side where he lost his arm.
"颰·一典 plum meow!"
"Qiang——!"
Shanks seemed to have easily blocked Hua Mei Miao's attack, but the expression on his face was full of surprise.
"Did Mr. Rayleigh really not give you any advice?" Shanks couldn't help but question after swiping his sword to drive Hua Mei Meow away: "Let's not talk about the attack for the moment. I feel that I am more proficient in this sight killing than I am. Ah hey!"
"I see...you also used Xie Wen's voice-hiding technique, right?"
Although it seems to be quite out of tune most of the time, the Four Emperors are still the Four Emperors. Shanks realized what was going on before Hua Mei Miao opened her mouth to explain.
Then, he said to Hua Mei Miao: "Now you can only use the Conqueror's Haki's Observation Killing Technique to attack me."
Hua Mei Miao nodded, released the state of being possessed by the empty soul, and then raised the "Cang Ming" in her hand again...
"Lin·Luan Mei Miao!"
The figure of the little raccoon flower floated around Shanks, and the small sword in her hand was like a continuous rainstorm, stabbing Shanks from all angles.
Shanks used one foot as the axis, and without moving his position at all, he blocked all of Hua Mei Miao's attacks. For a while, the "ding-dong" sound of the swords clashing became a whole.
Judging from the momentum alone, it was even more intense than the previous fight between Xie Wen and Shanks. Even the members of the Red Hair Pirates who were having a banquet nearby were attracted by the movement here.
Then...
Once again, they were beaten badly by Xie Wen's cats.
Because many of them found that even if they didn't consider the two natural cats, they couldn't beat the little tabby cat in front of them, and the opponent's bounty was even ranked last in the entire Felynx Investigation Team.
Although this was also because the World Government didn't know Hua Mei Miao's true strength, these pirates obviously wouldn't consider so much.
"These cat fur tribes are not as harmless as they seem on the surface..."
Ben Beckman blew a smoke ring and muttered with emotion: "Speaking of which, the few rookies who joined recently, and some old friends, have gradually become lax after the captain became the fourth queen. It seems that they have to tighten their springs."
The people of the Red Hair Pirates didn't know that their vice-captain was thinking about increasing their strength. After they recovered from the attack of the cats, they started to make a fuss on the side just like yesterday.
"Little Huamei! Come on!"
"Teach this captain who is trying to steal our good wine a lesson!"
"Boss! Don't hurt Miss Huamei! What if Xie Wen doesn't give us wine in the future?!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Captain, be gentle! Don't hurt Miss Huamei!"
Shanks: "..."
