I was born to be a king

Chapter 58

"Shanks, is Uta angry?"

Beckman came over with a cigarette in his mouth, and saw Shanks staring at the fruit again. Shanks came to his senses, pressed his straw hat and smiled bitterly:"Ah, Beckman, yes, it took a lot of effort to coax her into doing that."

Beckman looked at the rubber fruit in his hand, and knowing the truth, he smiled and said:"Why? You want it?"

Shanks was stunned by Beckman's question, and then he laughed out loud when he came to his senses.

"Hahahahaha!"

Finally, the laughter stopped. He pressed down the straw hat on his head and said frankly:"Of course!"

"After all, he is a fighter for liberation. When I was young, I also dreamed of becoming Nika and bringing laughter to the world. I am still the same now."

Beckman was silent.

He knew that although"Nika" brought laughter to everyone in the world, he also left pain to himself.

This is not only because bringing laughter to everyone means bearing everyone's pain, but also because after the fruit awakens, this person will become a thorn in the eyes of the World Government. The man on the throne of the sky will also destroy him at all costs.

"Where is your captain's son?"

Beckman turned his head and looked in the direction of the Goa Kingdom.

Shanks picked up the treasure chest containing the rubber fruit and said,"Yes, the captain said he would give him to Garp to raise."

Beckman laughed,"Your captain is such a genius. He actually gave his son to his former rival to raise."

Shanks remembered the scene when the captain was chased by Garp all day long, and couldn't help laughing,"Ah, they used to be comrades-in-arms, and the friendship between men will burst out in the collision of fists and feet."

At this moment he thought of Hawkeye. They were friends and opponents

"You don't want to give it to him?"

Beckman suddenly asked.

Shanks paused and said,"Yes, after all, the captain's son is still so young, and the captain has done me a favor."

"Unfortunately, I am a Celestial Dragon."

After Shanks finished speaking, he buried his face under his hat.

It can be seen that he did not feel any honor for his identity as a Celestial Dragon, but rather some hatred.

He did not know what would happen if he, as a Celestial Dragon, ate this fruit, and whether he could get the"great secret treasure". He did not dare to gamble.

Beckman lit the cigarette in his hand with a gloomy face and did not speak. He silently accompanied Shanks, listening to and sharing the regret and loneliness of the man beside him.

It was a silent scene, and suddenly someone disturbed this long-brewing relationship.

Whoosh~~~Shanks and Beckman's eyes flashed red as they saw a wide slash coming towards them.

""What! It's so big!"

Beckman was a little surprised at the power and size of the slash.

Shanks immediately pulled out the Griffin from his waist, leaped up, his arm muscles bulged, and a scarlet slash came out from the knife.

Swoosh!~~~!

He slashed towards the other side head on.

Clang!

Boom!

The two slashes exploded, creating a strong wind.

Shanks used his hands to block in front of him, but because the distance was too close and he was in the air, he was blown away by the strong wind.

Under the collision of the strong wind, the box in Shanks' hand slipped from his hand.

""Yabai!"

Shanks showed an ugly look on his face, and stretched out his hand to grab it, but it was obviously too late.

Plop!

The box fell into the sea.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but there was a wave in the opposite direction of the strong wind just now.

This wave rolled the treasure chest in the direction of the slash.

After Shanks stabilized his body and fell back on the boat, he looked closely and found that a large sailing ship appeared not far away

"Boss, are you okay?"

The younger brother saw Shanks looked a little embarrassed and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"It's okay, what's wrong with this ship?"

Shanks pressed down his straw hat, revealing the look of a future Four Emperors, fierce and full of domineering.

"Boss, this ship doesn't have a pirate flag, we thought it was a passenger ship."

Yesub explained

"There is a great swordsman on board, I wonder who he is."

Shanks looked at the slowly approaching ship with a serious look in his eyes, but there was no fear in his eyes either.

Great swordsman? Who isn't?

Beckman suddenly remembered the report from some time ago, his eyes changed, and he said,"Could it be the man who defeated the Golden Lion?"

After all, there are not many strong men in the East China Sea, and the only one he might meet recently is that man.

Beckman stared at the ship opposite with a serious expression and said,"Macefield Noah!"

His eyes gradually saw a man with blond hair and red eyes standing on the bow of the Wolf Head ship with two swords in his hands, and an interested look on his face.

Noah's side

"How interesting! Isn't it said that the East China Sea is the weakest sea?"

Noah asked the women behind him in some confusion.

Roland nodded and said:"In terms of the number of pirates and the quality of the navy, the East China Sea is undoubtedly the weakest sea. The highest bounty in the East China Sea is over 10 million Baileys, which means it is a pirate that dominates one side. A few million Baileys can be called a big pirate."

Noah pursed his lips and said:"How do you explain this? Great swordsmen! How many great swordsmen are there in the entire sea?"

Yes, there are very few great swordsmen active in the sea.

Even in the navy there are not three great swordsmen, and there may not even be two.

Garp's adjutant Bogart is very likely a great swordsman.

Taotu is not even a candidate for admiral now.

Roland was speechless and stammered:"This……"

Noah felt that the East Sea was simply a den of great swordsmen.

He first encountered two great swordsmen, Koshiro and Kozaburo, then he encountered Shiki the Golden Lion, and now he encountered the red-haired Shanks.

Noah didn't know that if he went in the wrong direction, he might encounter Bogart, the navy's most likely invisible great swordsman.

Noah��The head asked Liya,"Sister Liya, what pirate group is this?"

Liya recorded the famous pirate groups in the East China Sea and some pirate groups that need to be paid attention to in the Grand Line.

Liya saw the eye-catching pirate flag in front of her and exclaimed,"Lord Noah, this is the Red Hair Pirates!"

"I heard that their captain once had a swordsmanship contest with the great swordsman Hawkeye, and the two were evenly matched!"

"And I heard from others that Hawkeye's swordsmanship is likely to make him the world's greatest swordsman in the near future!"

""Oh, hoo!" Noah thought it was really interesting. He met another legendary pirate. He was very curious about Shanks' swordsmanship.

If he could be as good as a man who had the potential to become the world's greatest swordsman, then his swordsmanship must be extraordinary.

When fighting with Golden Lion, because Golden Lion's life was about to end after pulling out the rudder, he chopped with big swings, mostly with domineering moves.

As for swordsmanship, the swordsmanship using his feet was somewhat unsatisfactory.

""Master Noah, there seems to be a box floating over here."

Joanna pointed at the treasure box floating on the sea surface with the waves.

Noah glared at him unhappily and said,"Why don't you pick it up when you see it?"

Joanna pursed her lips, aggrievedly transformed into flaming wings and leaped up, swooping down to grab the treasure box, and then flapping her wings to easily return to the ship.

Joanna handed it to Noah without even looking at him.

"Here you are!"

Noah couldn't help but laugh when she saw it. She was really a little girl.

"Oh? Is it another devil fruit?"

After opening it, Noah found that it contained a devil fruit with purple spiral patterns.

Noah was a little curious about what kind of fruit this was, but now was obviously not the time to look at it.

The ship of Red Hair Shanks on the opposite side was heading towards this side.

Red Hair Shanks stood on the bow, staring at Noah from a distance, grinning and said:"Brother Noah, please give me a favor and return the devil fruit to me."

Noah was very interested in Shanks' interesting"declaration of war".

It was decided that this sentence would be his from now on. He started with a sentence: Give me a favor!

Whoever doesn't give me face, then I should have no complaints if I kill him.

After all, he was the one who didn't give me face first.

"Red-haired Shanks? Your swordsmanship is very good, and your eyes are also very good. I accept your declaration of war!"

Noah looked at Red-haired Shanks with a smile.

Noah smiles a lot of the time, because he thinks the world is full of interesting people and things, so Noah is very gentle most of the time.

The premise is not to do anything that makes him sick.

Shanks was confused, he tilted his head and asked his companions,"Did I mean to declare war just now? Are the newcomers nowadays so aggressive?"

His companions were sweating at their temples, looking at their boss speechlessly, not knowing whether their boss was really black-bellied or really didn't understand.

Asking everyone to give him face, what is this if not a provocation?

"Well, forget it!" Seeing his companions' speechless expressions, Shanks smiled awkwardly.��"Brother Noah, that fruit is very important to me. We are willing to exchange it for treasure."

Now it was Noah's turn to feel confused.

Are all pirates so easy to talk to now?

He first attacked him with a knife, and then robbed his devil fruit.

Now he is not angry at all, and wants to exchange it for treasure.

Noah looked at Shanks with some doubts and asked,"I was the first to attack, and the devil fruit was also taken from you."

Shanks waved his hand indifferently and said,"Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, your attack was just a test, and it was an attack on me. You didn't mean to hurt my companions. The most important thing is that there is a troublesome person on this island who is the sheriff. I don't want to provoke him."

Yes, he found that Noah was a two-sword flow but only swung a slash, which was obviously a test.

In addition, he valued his companions the most, and Noah didn't mean to hurt his companions, so he was not too angry.

The most important thing is that if he fights with Noah, Garp will know that his hometown is regarded as a battlefield, and he will definitely run back and chase him around.

He doesn't want to experience that man's iron fist

"Shanks! This is too ugly!"

Uta was not happy. Her father was so powerful, how could she give in to this handsome man in front of her?

Well, he seemed very handsome.

Uta glared at Noah's handsome face, and the anger on her face gradually dissipated unconsciously.

There was even a tendency to turn red.

At this moment, Shanks reached out and stroked Uta's head, comforting her:"Okay, Uta, our companions are not injured anyway, right?"

This action helped Uta hide the redness on her face.

The people around thought that Shanks's action made Uta, the little girl, shy.

Uta snorted and stopped talking, as if she agreed.

Noah had some special curiosity about this little girl with red and white hair.

In this situation, a little girl actually dared to rush out and stare at him. She was worthy of being a pirate.
