From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 148: Crisis of the Red Hair Pirates
"Why would a person like you appear in the East China Sea?"

Shanks raised his glass, clinked it with his own, and drank it all in one gulp.

But Kevin took a sip and replied, "A guy like you, with your domineering and domineering appearance, shouldn't you fight for supremacy in the New World?"

After the first test, no one got anything to say.

Shanks didn't believe that he was visiting a friend.

Although the Revolutionary Army has now disappeared, according to his intelligence channels, in Marijoa's eyes, the Revolutionary Army is much more important than the pirates.

He didn't believe that this cloaked man, whose current status in the revolutionary army was still unknown, came to the East Sea just to visit a friend.

"You don't believe what I said?"

Kevin looked at Shanks with a big smile on his face.

Under the pressure of his gaze, Shanks raised his glass again and said, "How could that be? You said you are here to visit a friend, so you are here to visit a friend. After all, the weather in the East China Sea is very good, and the people are very nice too."

Kevin clinked his glass with it.

This time he drank it all in one gulp, thought for a moment and said, "No need to keep testing me, Shanks. I came here just to practice with my sword, that's the real reason."

Practice sword?

"puff!"

"Cough cough cough..."

A mouthful of wine choked his trachea, and he held it in and turned his head to spray all over Jesus who was walking towards him.

Shanks immediately stood up and wiped him, twisting his sleeves and wiping Jesus' face: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't see you just now, Jesus, why did you come here suddenly?"

Jesus glared at his boss, then looked at Kevin and said, "Those bastards refused to tell me how you did it, so I can only ask you."

Kevin looked at Jesus Bu after hearing this.

As for the Red Hair Pirates, there are only two familiar members in my memory.

One is Shanks, because he is the guide of King Luffy.

The other is Jesus Bu, Usopp's father, who was also born in the East China Sea and can be said to be a true abandoner of his wife and children.

"What do you want to ask?"

Kevin stopped smiling.

Jesus Bu did not notice, but said: "How did you manage to disappear and reappear from my observation at such a speed? There was no trace of movement, and you just appeared suddenly."

Hearing this, Kevin looked at Shanks and said, "It seems that your crew members are indeed very tight-lipped."

"Of course! Pirates have their own moral code."

Shanks raised his head proudly, but he was still thinking about what the other person had just said.

Practicing swordplay? This answer is even more unreliable than visiting a friend, okay?

He was invincible in the Sabaody Archipelago with a knife in hand, and killed a top CP0 fighter, making the navy's candidate admiral afraid to land.

With such a record, you still want to practice swordsmanship?

And in such a small temple?
Uh... Could it be that the owner of that dojo is a stronger being than the cloaked man?

I can't tell.

Although he was able to withstand the collision of the two people's domineering aura, being able to do so is not a manifestation of strength.

At this time, Kevin also answered Jesus Bu: "It is similar to the ability of the teleportation fruit. You should know the devil fruit. It is not about speed, but about direct transfer."

Jesus also understood it directly.

The reason why no movement track is seen is because the opponent did not move at all.

On the other side, seeing that Jesus Bu had gotten the answer, Beckman came over and put his arm around his shoulders: "Don't think too much. When your observation Haki reaches a certain level, or even reaches the top of this world, you will be able to foresee the future even a few seconds later."

Predict future?

Jesus Bu is a newcomer in the East China Sea. At present, he has never heard of this kind of ability, which is like a magical skill for a sniper.

"As I recall, your son is only two years old."

Kevin's voice sounded, bringing Shanks back to his senses for a moment, and Jesus Bu and Beckman also looked over.

"Don't get me wrong. Shanks knows my identity. To us, the so-called descendants of pirates are still innocent people. There is no such thing as sinful blood."

Jesus was visibly relieved by these words, but Shanks was becoming more and more nervous.

Guilty blood?

Does this bastard know or not?

Every sentence seemed to be known, but it seemed that he didn't know. If I asked directly, if the other party didn't know originally but because of me, he knew that the captain's son was still alive and in the East China Sea, wouldn't it be the end?
"Everyone has their own choice. Your wife supports you and even your son is proud of you."

Kevin said as he looked at Jesus Bu: "This is a question of education in this era. An outsider like me has no right to blame you for anything. I am just curious about your mentality, which is somewhat important to me."

"So I want to know, when your wife is still alive and you have a two-year-old child who needs his company, what kind of mentality do you have to abandon your family and children to become a pirate?"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in this corner of the banquet became a little cold.

Shanks even held Griffin tightly by the waist and looked at Kevin fiercely: "Cloaked Man, although it is true that you should not be able to win, it does not mean that you can insult my companions."

Beckman on the side also said solemnly: "Pirates have their own persistence. We will never attack ordinary people, but if someone insults our companions, we will fight to the death even if we are killed."

"I didn't mean to insult you. Like I said, I don't have that position."

Kevin stood up, holding a shallow whip in his right hand. "But if that's the case, then I can kill you all and bury you here. Although the crime is not committed by infants, the remnants of the hunting game at that time did not care about these things."

At this time, Kevin was really ready to take action.

He had no reason not to kill Shanks just to maintain the plot. After all, the plot had become a mess in just a few years.

From the very beginning, he had never thought of turning this world into the so-called liberation of Nika.

Freedom or something like that can only be relative.

Things like pirates will never exist in the future he wants.

There is nothing special about leaving the Red Hair Pirates, one of the future Four Emperors, here.

"Boss, I don't think he is wrong."

At this time, Jesus Bu's voice sounded. There was no fear in his eyes because of Kevin's strength, nor did he mean to compromise himself for the safety of his companions.

"It's just the truth, it's not an insult to me."

Jesus Bu continued: "Banchina has not been in good health, and Usopp is only two years old, but I chose to go to sea for myself. This behavior is indeed abandoning a wife and children, isn't it?"

In the calm voice, there was guilt towards the family.

Kevin focused on his expression because he wanted to understand the thoughts of this type of person so that he could make targeted adjustments in the future.

The people in this world have strange minds. There are the gullible Tontata clan, fools like the O'Hara scholars who risk their lives for knowledge, and pirates who have left home for decades for the so-called freedom. Shanks and Beckman looked at each other, put down their weapons, and patted Jesus on the shoulder.

Kevin asked, "You must be aware that a two-year-old child has no father and his mother is not in good health. What will the future of this family be like after you leave?"

"I raised the child with great difficulty, but my wife eventually died of illness after long-term fatigue and pain. The child, without parents, began to wander around the village, with no one to rely on and no food to eat. He was hated by the villagers for trying to attract attention."

"But he does idolize his father and even goes out to sea to become a pirate. But this kind of life, this cycle repeats itself..."

Before he finished speaking, Jesus raised his head and said happily, "This kind of life won't be boring, right? Compared to living a life of mediocrity in the village, a man should go out to sea when he hears the pirate flag calling, right?"

Uh……

What's the reason?
Kevin was truly speechless.

Pirate flag summon? The ship spirit does exist, but the pirate flag spirit does not really exist!
Just for the thrill?

Outrageous!

Why don’t you say the sea is calling you?

"No reason can stop a man who hears the call of the sea from going out to sea."

Jesus Bu looked a little excited: "If you risk your life to become a pirate for your dream, you will be the freest person in this ocean!"

Kevin glanced at the guy.

"Freedom? From what I know, 99% of the pirates on this sea are different from you. They commit murder, looting and commit all kinds of evil. Many of them have died in my hands."

"If this is what you mean by freedom, then I can tell you very clearly that freedom without following the rules has no good meaning."

At this time, Shanks said: "Every era has its own meaning. If pirates become a thing of the past in the future, perhaps the formation of freedom and dreams will become something else, right?"

Compared to Jesus Bu, Shanks' words seem to hit the nail on the head.

Kevin looked at him and let him continue.

And Shanks also understood that the Revolutionary Army valued ideas more.

And ideas are precisely what the world government fears the most.

"As you just said, 99% of the pirates on this ocean are evil, and that's what they understand as pirates. But the pirates we think of are not like that."

“I went to sea for my dream, for the adventure, and to see all the different landscapes and cultures in this world.”

"The Red Earth Continent and the Calm Belt isolate the world from all four corners of the world. Communication and interaction are almost non-existent. This is the limitation of the times."

Shanks continued, "If a chef wants to experience the cuisine and different ingredients of the Four Seas and the Grand Line, he can only go out to sea and become a pirate."

“A musician also has no choice but to go out to sea in order to hear music formed by different cultures.”

"One day in the future, if all the barriers of this sea are broken, cultural exchanges will be facilitated and people will be able to communicate with each other easily. In that era, pirates will be a thing of the past."

Shanks suggested to Kevin, "Mr. Tom is building a new marine transportation tool in the Seven Waters City of the Grand Line. You may want to go and have a look after it succeeds. That is also the future."

……

The late-night party is still going on, but the atmosphere is much better now.

Shanks was drunk and took Kevin into his arms to join the party. Beckman and Jesus were drinking together, with Lakilu acting as the referee.

The party was taking on the look of a party, and Shanks obviously had no intention of continuing to ask questions.

The other party knew his background, but because of the saying that a baby is no less sinner than this, even if he knew that Captain Roger's son was in the East China Sea, the cloaked man would not do anything.

The Revolutionary Army...

With this basic idea in mind, the weight of the world has also increased.

……

At five o'clock in the morning, the Red Hair Pirates' banquet finally ended.

The pirates lying in the woods after the banquet were completely defenseless.

But the only few sober people were Beckman and Jesus who had just had a drinking contest, and Lakilu who also drank a lot.

By now Kevin had already left, and flew directly back to the G5 branch on the Thunder God.

"This ability is really convenient, but I don't know if there is any distance limit."

Jesus Bu also knew the identity of the cloaked man, and his words were a little sour.

Shanks burped and said, "Anyway, it should be beyond the distance between islands. If we can cross the Calm Belt and the Red Earth Continent, it will be really convenient."

Beckman looked at Shanks and asked, "Do you want to stay on this island?"

Shanks thought about it, then smiled and said, "We will start heading to the Grand Line tomorrow and go directly to the New World!"

Beckman also laughed.

Although the whole team was almost wiped out, the accidental encounter with the cloaked man made the captain feel truly oppressed, which was a good thing.

There is no need to go to Dawn Island. Only when you become stronger can you have the confidence to speak.

In the previous confrontation with the cloaked man, it can be said that he completely disregarded life and death.

"Boss, didn't you say we need to go to Dawn Island again?" Jesus Bu was puzzled.

Shanks replied, "No, we're leaving from the East China Sea and starting our adventure on the Grand Line. Jesus needs to work hard, because the pirates on the Grand Line are different from those on the East China Sea."

"And the growth of domineering requires fighting, constant fighting power. I believe that one day you will be able to foresee the future."

Jesus swallowed and said, "I will. By that time, my son will worship me even more."

……

The next day, the Red Hair Pirates left Shimotsuki Village and began their adventure on the Grand Line.

At this time, Kevin also saw the report about the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the newspaper in the G5 branch.

You can’t really say you saw it, because after the shadow clone was released, all the memories from the previous day appeared in your mind.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea...are about to be formed."

After thinking for a long time, Kevin slapped the desk.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the desk was broken and even the whole office shook.

"asshole!"

"Legal plundering pirates? So these bastards can do whatever they want?!"
