Chapter 686: Start Digging a Hole

The misunderstanding had already been formed. Even if Xie Wen and his team explained to the outside world through Morgans and Uta's live broadcast, those guys would not listen, so he simply didn't bother to care.

Anyway, even if they finally found out that it was actually a misunderstanding, few people would dare to trouble him.

So, Xie Wen was very careless and put the matter behind him, and then continued to discuss with Uta and the cats how to teach Shanks a profound lesson.

Well, although he didn't care, Xie Wen decided to be more ruthless about Shanks, the guy who caused trouble for him.

The next day, Shanks, who was speeding here, had already arrived at Elegia. Originally, Xie Wen planned to let him sneak onto the island, but in this situation, there was no need to avoid Uta, so after discovering the Red Verse, Xie Wen and his team took Uta and Gordon to the repaired port of Elegia and waited for the Red Hair Pirates to approach.

"Be more motivated! Don't look forward to seeing that idiot Shanks, meow!"

(=`ω=)ジ

Meowx jumped from Shirahoshi's head to Uta's shoulder, patting her cheek unhappily to remind her.

"Oh, oh!"

Uta quickly restrained her expression and put on an impatient look.

Gordon: "..."

Xie Wen and the others did not avoid Gordon when they were discussing the plan, so he knew very well what Shanks would encounter next.

Out of friendship, Gordon wanted to remind Shanks, but considering that he was an accomplice, it seemed a bit suicidal to jump out and destroy the cats' plan at this time, so he could only reduce his presence while mourning for Shanks...

There was no way, the potion made by the little cat named Huiyuan Ai was too terrible! Gordon saw with his own eyes the miserable reaction of a cow cat after drinking Huiyuan Meow's potion.

He was already quite old, and his strength was not as strong as Shanks', so he really couldn't stand this kind of torment.

"Uta!"

Shanks had already jumped off the Red Forth before it had even stopped, and took two steps forward excitedly.

However, after seeing the other party's deliberately tense face, he stopped again, and his shoulders slumped with some disappointment.

"Uta..." Shanks called Uta's name again, and said with a guilty tone: "I'm sorry, I know it may be a little late for me to say this now, and I don't expect you to forgive me, but what I want to say is that no matter what time, you are the musician of our Red Hair Pirates, and you are my daughter, Shanks."

Under Shanks' sincere words, Uta, who was already a little soft-hearted, almost couldn't hold back.

But as the saying goes, it's not easy to learn well, but it's easy to learn bad things. Under the influence of the little cats, even if Uta was inclined to forgive Shanks in her heart, she didn't want to give up teaching him a lesson...

She even had a little expectation.

So, after twitching his mouth a few times, Uta managed to maintain his facial expression, just glanced at Shanks coldly, then turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

"Ah..."

Shanks sighed, because Xie Wen had been giving him wrong information, he thought that Uta had always hated him, so he didn't expect that he could easily get his daughter's forgiveness, but seeing the other party's indifferent attitude, this usually carefree pirate still felt lonely.

However, Xie Wen and the cats who knew the truth didn't dare to let him continue to be so "tragic", what if Uta couldn't help but soften his heart? In order to pit... no, to vent for Uta, they made many detailed plans, and even rehearsed them in the world of the Song Song Fruit, so they couldn't make a mistake at the beginning!

So, Xie Wen immediately stepped forward to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, because of you, the pirates are coming here again. We have finally rebuilt Elegia. If it is destroyed again because of your arrival, I will not help rebuild it again. You, the Red Hair Pirates, will be responsible!"

"Huh? What's going on?"

Shanks was confused. In order to get to Elegia as soon as possible, he didn't pay attention to the situation behind him. Before the pirates really made a big fuss, Morgans would not publish this matter in the newspaper, so the Red Hair Pirates didn't know what happened yet.

After briefly explaining the situation to him and the subsequent members of the Red Hair Pirates, Shanks nodded as a matter of course, "Don't worry! We will be responsible for protecting this place!"

"I have to remind you in advance that there are also Beasts and Big Mom among the pirates coming this time, and we are about to leave... In fact, if it weren't for you leading the pirates back again, I should have left long ago."

"I really caused you too much trouble." Shanks patted Xie Wen's shoulder with emotion, and then said: "If you have something urgent, just leave! We, the Red Hair Pirates, are not afraid of Beasts and Big Mom!"    The reason why Shanks is so confident is not only because of his own strength, but also because he doesn't think Beasts and Big Mom will come to fight him to the death. After all, their goal is Vegapunk, and it has nothing to do with Elegia.

After talking about business, Shanks finally had time to say hello to the cats.

"Long time no see, little Kerry."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the little puppet's head.

Although he was left lying there for several days after being blown up by Kelimiao's bomb, among all the cats, Shanks' favorite was the little guy Kelimiao.

In addition to the cuteness of the little puppet, and because her personality is somewhat similar to that of Uta when she was a child, Shanks got along very well with Kelimya when she met Xie Wen before.

Kelimya, who can sense people's emotions, no longer resists getting close to Shanks after he took the initiative to please him for a few days. In the entire red-haired pirate group, there are only a few such as Shanks and Rachid Lu. Man has done this.

However, at this time, the response Shanks imagined did not appear. Not only did Kelimiao ignore his greeting, but she tilted her little head to the side, avoiding his palm, and hummed angrily. : "You actually left sister Uta alone, Keli doesn't like you anymore, meow!"

(`н=)

Shanks was stunned for a moment, and looked at the other cats while keeping his hand outstretched. He found that they all had disdainful expressions on their faces. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and retracted his only arm.

Shanks is actually not unfamiliar with this situation. Jesus Bu was treated like this among cats. He had gloated with other companions before, but he didn't expect that now he would be disliked by cats for similar reasons. .

Moreover, the cats are obviously not as close to Usopp as they are to Utta, so Shanks found himself facing an even worse situation than Jesus Bu...

At any rate, those cats with relatively stable personalities did not show too obvious disgust towards Jesus Bu, and most of the cats would respond politely when Jesus Bu took the initiative to talk, but now Shanks Even if he took the initiative to talk to the cats, most of them would turn a deaf ear. Only Hua Mei Meow and Kaido Meow, who had been taught how to use the Overlord Color by him before, would occasionally exchange a few words.

"Xiao Keli, isn't the power of the 'gadget' you gave me too exaggerated? Didn't you remind me when you gave it to me?"

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit stiff, Lachie Lu immediately jumped out and changed the subject: "Aren't you afraid that I would press it while I was sleeping and accidentally trigger it and get blown up?"

"Meow?"

(=ω=)

The little puppet scratched his head in confusion, "Didn't Keli tell you to throw out enemies you can't defeat? Why are you so defenseless, Meow?"

Lachie Lu suddenly fell silent.

He couldn't tell Keli Miao that he didn't take the compressed bouncing bomb that the other party gave him seriously in the first place, could he?

Although Lucky Lu failed to achieve his goal of easing the atmosphere, after being reminded by him, other members of the red-haired pirate group also stepped forward to talk to the cats.

With their efforts and the active cooperation of the cats, the atmosphere finally became lively.

Then there is the customary banquet in the pirate world.

As the banquet progressed, Uta and the cats, who had always been shy towards Shanks, finally stopped giving him a bad look. Although they still refused to talk to him, Shanks was already very moved. .

Even after the banquet gradually reached its climax, Uta took the initiative to sing a song.

And just as Shanks was enjoying his daughter's singing intoxicatedly, a large wine plate was handed to him.

"Want a drink, meow?"

︺(●ω●)

"Ha! Ibuki Sake! I missed it!"

Shanks cheered and took the wine plate, then put it to his mouth.

But when the edge of the wine plate touched his mouth, his movements suddenly froze...

Because what he saw and heard just suddenly gave him an automatic warning and allowed him to see what was going to happen in a few seconds.

"hehe……"

Shanks smiled bitterly, and did not put down the wine plate in his hand. Instead, with a determination to let his daughter and cats vent their anger, he raised his neck and drank all the liquid in the plate!
