The Red Hair Pirates.
The Red-Haired Shanks rode on his own ship Red Force and personally came to see Portgas D. Ace. He also came to pick up his vice-captain.
After the misunderstanding between the two sides was resolved, the atmosphere eased a lot.
Because Sasuke defeated Beckman and showed the strength of the Spade Pirates, the communication between the two captains became equal. At least this new pirate group did have the qualifications to challenge a Yonko(Four Emperors).
Because of Luffy, the two of them had a good chat.
Shanks held Ace's shoulder and laughed loudly, "Since Ace is Luffy's brother, then we need to get to know each other this time!"
"Dahahahaha... In order to celebrate our meeting, in order to celebrate Beckman finally being defeated, let's have a grand banquet! "
"Idiot!"
Benn Beckman couldn't help but hold his forehead. He originally thought that this captain had made progress, but he didn't expect him to still be like this!
At the banquet.
Only Sasuke held a glass of juice in his hand, and the others had a bowl of wine in their hands, making people curious.
"How can a pirate not drink?"
Shanks handed Sasuke a bowl of wine and said with a smile, "My companions all want to see the supernova who defeated Beckman!"
"No."
Sasuke looked at Ace standing beside Shanks and shook his head, "Because I have an idiot captain, so I have to stay awake at all times."
"Hahaha..."
Shanks couldn't help but laugh.
The surrounding pirates also couldn't help but laugh.
When Benn Beckman heard this, he slowly put down the wine in his hand. He also went to pick a glass of juice like Sasuke.
Shanks drank the wine bowl in his hand and asked with a smile, "Hey, Ace, are you really not going to consider defeating me and becoming a new Yonko(Four Emperors)?
"That's too boring!"
Ace scratched the back of his head and said, "If Luffy knew that I knocked you down, he would probably be very sad, right?"
This was a bit arrogant.
Shanks himself did not care about this; even the pirates around him did not care, maybe because they knew the strength of their captain.
Shanks even raised his wine bowl with great interest and laughed loudly, "Come on, thank that fellow Luffy for letting me keep my Yonko(Four Emperors)'s position!"
"Hahahaha... Captain is too weak!"
"Hahahaha... Because of our little Luffy, he managed to keep his Yonko(Four Emperors) title."
"Hahahahaha... Since Ace did not take our leader's title because of Luffy, we can't give this name to others no matter what!"
"Don't say that!"
Shanks put down his wine bowl and poured himself a bowl. He did not care about his companion's self-mockery and continued with a smile, "We are friends with Luffy. Shouldn't we help each other? For Luffy, let's have another drink!"
Shanks turned to look at Ace and continued with a smile, "Is that little fellow Luffy still arguing about becoming the Pirate King?"
"Yes, that guy's catchphrase is this."
Ace grinned and raised the wine bowl with a smile, "Unfortunately, I have to let him down. Whether it is the One piece or the Pirate King, I have to take it first!"
"Oh? It's really possible! "
Shanks touched his chin and nodded seriously. He continued, "What are you going to do, now? Are you going to flatten the new world all the way?"
"That's too troublesome."
Ace shook his head and revealed a confident smile, "Go challenge the strongest man in the sea? Let all the sea recognize my power first!"
"Whitebeard?"
"That's right!"
After Ace drank a bowl of wine, he said in a low voice, "I have the best vice-captain in this world. I can not let him down!"
"Dahahaha... that makes sense!"
After Shanks poured him a glass of wine, he couldn't help but look at Sasuke, who was sitting like a mountain next to him. He couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, I inexplicably feel that your vice-captain is really like Mr. Rayleigh!"
"Who?"
"Oh? When I was an intern crew on a pirate ship..."
Shanks' face showed a trace of nostalgia, "At that time, the vice-captain of the ship was Mr. Rayleigh. I felt that your vice-captain was as reliable as Mr. Rayleigh!"
At that time, Shanks and his friend Buggy made a mistake.
When Rayleigh came to educate them, their captain Roger would come to persuade Rayleigh not to be too strict, and then Rayleigh would scold Roger together with them to the point that Roger could not raise his head...
Because of his impression of Rayleigh, Shanks' desire for the vice-captain was similar; in the end, he finally found his vice-captain, Benn Beckman.
As a result, he was always chased and scolded by Ben Beckman.
Sasuke slowly put down the juice in his hand and calmly said, "Oh, then you must have seen wrong? I am not like anyone in the sea."
"Yes..."
Shanks slowly took a sip of wine and said with some admiration, "Speaking of which, your strength is really terrifying. Even Beckman is not a match for you..."
Sasuke said with a calm face, "This is also normal for an Uchiha. Naturally, it is not something ordinary people can resist."
Shanks, "..."
He had seen the wrong person. This person was not like Rayleigh at all.
At least their vice-captain, Rayleigh, was not so arrogant.
Late at night.
Everyone drank until they were both dizzy and asleep.
Sasuke sat on a tree and looked at the stars in the sky. There was still a glass of juice beside him. Just at this time, a figure rolled over and jumped up.
"Benn Beckman."
Sasuke glanced at the person who had come and casually said, "Do you think you haven't lost miserably enough? I have no interest in you anymore..."
This was a bit unreasonable.
Beckman just wanted to have a good chat with Sasuke!
Beckman frowned. He didn't expect that he would be ridiculed by Sasuke as soon as he arrived here. The vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates said with a cigarette in his mouth, "That idiot Shanks asked me to come. He wants to invite you to meet him."
"It just so happens that I also want to try the power of a Yonko(Four Emperors)!"
The sword beside Sasuke fell into his hand. His figure suddenly fell from the tree and walked towards Shanks.
Looking at the back of Sasuke, Benn Beckman suddenly said, "Sasuke, you didn't use your full strength when you were fighting with me, did you?"
"Kill you or capture you, which do you think is easier?"
After Sasuke finished speaking, he didn't care how hurtful his words were and left without looking back, leaving behind a contempt sentence.
"What a terrifying and arrogant newcomer..."
Benn Beckman held a cigarette in his mouth as he watched Sasuke leave. He slowly asked himself, "Is it because I slacked off after helping that idiot obtain a Yonko(Four Emperors)'s title? I can't even tell such a thing..."
No, it wasn't that he couldn't tell.
Rather, Beckman couldn't believe that such a terrifying person would appear on the sea after finally calming down and balancing himself!
Compared to Beckman, Shanks accept it easily. When he saw Sasuke, his eyes had already regained their clarity.
Shanks stood by the sea and sighed softly, "My most respected captain once said that it will never be easy to stop after this era opens.
Many people struggled to calm this sea down for less than a year, yet you supernova came out and disrupted everything in the new world.
Now it seemed that he was right!"
Sasuke raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your captain, what kind of person was the last Pirate King, Gol D. Roger?"
"Oh, you even know that I used to stay with Captain Roger?"
A smile appeared on Shanks' face. He chuckled and said, "Dahahaha... That's the Pirate King, a character who once possessed One Piece. No matter what kind of words you use to describe him, it's not too much!"
"Humph..."
Sasuke said calmly, "He should be an idiot similar to Ace and you, right?"
"..."
Shanks was silent.
He seemed to have been exposed.
This Sasuke guessed right!
In a sense, the character of Gol D. Roger was actually quite simple. Although his character was also very straightforward, and he paid special attention to his friendship, Roger influenced Shanks when it came to dealing with people.
"How did you know?"
Shanks could not help but sigh.
After a moment of silence, Sasuke explained in a low voice, "Because those simple-minded idiots may only have one goal in their lifetime, and they will never change, so it is always easier to succeed."
"That makes sense."
Shanks could not help but nod in admiration, "Come to think of it, is it because of this you chose Ace as your captain?"
"Almost."
Sasuke's palm slowly fell on the hilt of his sword. He looked at Shanks and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Shanks touched his chin and said softly, "I wanted to see if you could persuade Ace to give up on attacking Whitebeard. It wasn't easy for this sea to calm down!
But after listening to what you just said, I felt that it was better to let this matter go. After all, stubborn people like us can't be persuaded..."
This was because the battle for Yonko(Four Emperors) had only ended a year ago.
This sea finally formed the fragile balance between World Government, Shichibukai, and Yonko(Four Emperors). Shanks undoubtedly hoped that this sea could continue to be balanced like this.
These words undoubtedly angered Sasuke.
A red light slowly appeared in Sasuke's eyes. Sasuke stared at the chattering Shanks, and his voice gradually became gloomy.
"Hehe, you red-haired guys are the same. You don't have much strength in your hands. When you speak, you are more arrogant than anyone else. You are always so annoying."
