From the Battle of Marineford yesterday to now,

Luffy has been staying on the Moby Dick. On the one hand, it is because of Whitebeard's death.

On the other hand, he does not know how to face Shanks.

Because their agreement was made when he became an outstanding pirate.

He does not know whether he can be called an outstanding pirate at this time.

But both he and Shanks know very well that this meeting is a little early.

They should meet again in the New World on the pirate route, instead of meeting in the first half of the Grand Line in advance because of Ace's matter.

However, finally, when they were leaving, Shanks came up to them.

"Shanks."

Luffy's body trembled slightly, and he turned around, his eyes already filled with tears.

Especially when he saw Shanks's empty left arm, this man used his arm to save his life.

"What? Luffy, you are still as crybaby as when you were a kid, hahaha."

Shanks looked at Luffy and said in a funny way

"I'm not a crybaby."

Luffy wiped away the tears in his eyes. He was just a little too excited.

"Hey, Luffy, do you remember the agreement between us?"

Shanks smiled calmly and looked at Luffy.

"Ah, of course, I will never forget that promise in my life."

Luffy was distracted for a moment, then smiled and said firmly

"I will carefully protect this straw hat, just to wait for the day to return it to you."

Luffy took off the straw hat from his head and looked at the worn-out straw hat with a look of nostalgia.

He had worn this straw hat for so long, and it had been a source of affection for him for so long. It was no longer just an ordinary straw hat that Shanks had left with him.

However, he still solemnly handed the straw hat to Shanks.

This scene made the people of the Red Hair Pirates behind Shanks couldn't help but sigh.

"So many years have passed since Luffy and the boss made their promise.

Jesus said with emotion.

Their thoughts seemed to return to the port of the small village ten years ago.

"I'll leave this hat with you. You must return it to me when you become a great pirate. We've made a promise, Luffy."

"I will definitely return it to you. I will find a group of companions who are not inferior to you, go out to sea, and become the Pirate King."

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, the promise between the crying boy and the one-armed pirate.

"This hat is getting old."

Shanks held the hat in his hand and looked at it with a nostalgic look. It was beaten by wind and rain, and there were some traces of mending that were not there originally.

But this is the weight of will. The hat must have placed Roger's will on it. His will, and now Luffy's will, too.

He doesn't hate old things. The weight of old things is the accumulation of countless new traces.

"Hey, Luffy, do you think you are a great pirate now?"

Shanks looked at the straw hat in his hand and said in a low and calm voice

"I don't know what a pirate is, but I want to be the Pirate King."

Luffy opened his mouth and smiled widely.

"So, do you think you have found a partner who is not inferior to me?"

Shanks continued to ask

"Of course."

Luffy turned his head and looked at his companions behind him, and said without any hesitation

"Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, my partner is the best partner in the world, Shanks"

"You guys always say these things."

Zoro couldn't help but lower his head and laughed helplessly.

"What best friend? How embarrassing!"

Chopper smiled so hard that his eyes became blurry. He hid behind Robin, and his thin arms swung like noodles.

"Chopper, you dodged the wrong way."

Robin bent his right index finger, put it on his chin, squinted his eyes and laughed softly.

"What an embarrassing comment, my face turned red, ah, I have no face, yohoho."

Brook held the skull head and laughed strangely.

The others, Sanji, Nami, and Franky, couldn't help but smile.

""Hahaha, you've really grown a lot, Luffy."

The red-haired man looked at Luffy and his companions behind him and couldn't help laughing. The red-haired man turned around and walked onto the Redfors before turning around again under Luffy's gaze.

He rubbed the straw hat in his hands for a while, then threw it off the ship with force.

The straw hat fluttered in the air, flew towards Luffy, and fell into Luffy's arms.

"Shanks.?"Luffy looked at the straw hat in his arms, a little dazed

"This is yours, Luffy, you are more suitable than me to sail with this straw hat."

Shanks laughed loudly and said,"When you become the Pirate King, let's have a party together."

"Shanks."

Luffy grabbed the straw hat in his hand and put it on his head.

"I will."

Luffy whispered.

The Redfors was sailing slowly, and just when he was about to dive into the water, whoosh.

A steel ball at an extremely high speed hit Jesus Bu on the Redfors.

Jesus Bu's eyes focused, and he raised his gun at an extremely fast speed. A bullet with armed color attached was instantly fired, and in the air, it steadily intercepted the steel ball.

However, when Jesus Bu saw who shot the steel ball, his pupils could not help shrinking slightly.

"Usopp?"

The other members of the Straw Hat Pirates looked at Usopp in surprise as he put down his slingshot, walked forward, and took off the Sniper King mask on his face.

His face was full of complex expressions.

"This blow is for mom. When we meet again, I will surpass you, become a brave sea warrior, and become the world's best sniper."

Usopp clenched his fists and shouted loudly while standing on the shore.

He didn't hate his father, because he could understand his father's decision. He and his father had the same character, pursuing freedom, and they could feel the call of the pirate flag.

However, mom never waited for dad until she died of illness.

This was a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't get around.

He wanted to surpass his father and punch him in the face for his mother.

"Usopp."

Nami, Chopper and the others had never seen Usopp's eyes so serious.

Usopp, who had always been timid, now dared to fire this bullet in the face of the Four Emperors Red Hair Pirates.

"I understand."

Yosubu, standing on the Redfors, whispered first, then waved his gun vigorously towards the shore:"I will wait for you in the new world."

The Redfors slowly dived under the sea.

On the deck, Yosubu had a complicated look on his face and picked up a bottle of wine.

He had always wanted to forget the village of Silobu, but he could not ignore it.

In the past, he had abandoned his children and wife in order to go to sea, and after becoming a pirate, he dared not have any contact with them.

"Hey, Jesus, is that your son? He's grown up."

"What a great young man."

The Red Hair Pirates' companions wanted to comfort Jesus, but they didn't know how to say it.

It was Jesus' family affair, and even they couldn't interfere.

"That kid thinks you are the best sniper in the world, Jesus Bu." The red-haired man sat down next to Jesus Bu and said lightly.

The long-nosed boy said he was angry, but in his heart, he always regarded his father as a brave sea warrior and the best sniper in the world.

And next to him, a man's faint sobbing sound was finally heard.

"Usopp has grown up so much. It's great to see him again."

In the Sabaody Archipelago, the Redfors has completely sunk to the bottom of the sea. Usopp stood on the shore and clenched his fists tightly.

"I will definitely become the world's best sniper, Luffy." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Usopp said solemnly

"Of course I know, I never doubted it."

Luffy said with a smile.

Just like he believed that Zoro would become the world's number one swordsman.

No matter how big the gap between him and Hawkeye was, he always believed in his partner, and has always believed in him until now.

Nami and the others did not ask much about Usopp and Jesus Bu of the Red Hair Pirates.

On the other side.

Not far from the Straw Hat Pirates.

Douglas Barrett and Bondiwald and the others also sneered as they watched the Red Hair Pirates leave.

""Bucky, have you made up your mind?"

Rayleigh frowned as he looked at Buggy in front of him.

Buggy's face was obviously filled with fear, but he still chose to leave with Barrett, Wald and the others.

"I have made up my mind, Vice Captain Rayleigh."

Baki glanced at Barrett and Wald, his eyes rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Since it's your decision."

Rayleigh nodded.

Although Barrett and Wald were in visible danger, and although Buggy was indeed a little weak, he was not very worried.

Buggy had been on Roger's ship for so long.

Rayleigh also knew about that strange luck.

Buggy's strength was not strong, but strangely, the development of a matter would always inexplicably develop in a way that was beneficial to Buggy.

"Hey, Straw Hat Boy, do you want to join forces to fight against the Navy and the World Government?"

Barrett shouted at Luffy.

His fierce, cold, and somewhat crazy eyes looked back and forth at Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper. There were really many powerful monsters in this small pirate group with a small number of people.

He was a little tempted.

"I have little interest in dealing with the navy and the world government. I still want to continue sailing with my friends."

Luffy frowned and looked at Barrett.

He didn't like this mad man.

"That's a pity."

Barrett showed a crazy smile on his face:"Then, the next time we meet, we will be enemies. I am still very interested in you."

Although it is not clear how Luffy performed in the previous war.

But the terrifying aura of Luffy in the fifth gear state still left a deep impression on Barrett at the time.

A madman who pursues power and the strongest will not let go of such a good opponent.

Luffy frowned, and Zoro behind him immediately used his thumb to push open a gap in the autumn water at his waist, ready to take action at any time.

"Hey, Barrett, Buggy, Crocodile, let's go."

At this moment, Bondiwald shouted from a distance.

Barrett smiled crazily at Luffy, then shook his majestic body and left.

"See you in the New World, Straw Hat Boy, we still have a score to settle."

Crocodile bit his cigar and looked at Luffy coldly.

"Crocodile.

Luffy looked at Crocodile with some disdain and solemnity.

This opponent who once brought him great trouble.

For some reason, Luffy always felt that something had changed in Crocodile in front of him, his temperament had changed.

Obviously, he had become so much stronger, but Crocodile could still give him a sense of danger.

However, he paid more attention to Barrett.

The strength of that strong man was very terrifying, not inferior to Akainu at all, and even slightly stronger than Akainu.

"What's the matter with that Barrett, Uncle Rayleigh?"

After Barrett and the others left, Luffy crossed his arms, tilted his head, and asked in confusion:"He seems to be on Roger's pirate ship, why does he give people such a disgusting feeling?"

"Even companions on the same ship have different ambitions.

Rayleigh sighed and said calmly,"Don't look at Barrett like this now. He was never this crazy before."

"He is a genius, a true genius. He was able to fight me to a draw at the age of fifteen, and he never gave up challenging Roger. At that time, Barrett was just a boy who pursued power."

"But after Roger was diagnosed with a terminal illness, Barrett, who respected Roger the most, changed completely. Confused about power and partners, he lost his direction, and finally, he left Roger's pirate group."

"After Roger was executed, Barrett made the world a mess. Later, it was heard that Sengoku Garp brought the Demon Killing Order to encircle him. Now it seems that he has completely lost himself in power since then."

"So, Luffy.

Rayleigh looked at Luffy and said,"As long as Barrett is not defeated, he will definitely fight you. I want to ask you not to kill him, but just defeat him. He is just temporarily lost in pain."

"Barrett's essence is not bad."

Rayleigh is very good at judging people. Barrett has always had a will to protect, but for some reason, this will has been distorted.

It has been distorted into a complete pursuit of power.

He and Roger once wanted to dispel the haze in Barrett's heart.

But fate played tricks on him, and Roger did not have enough time.

Instead, it further stimulated Barrett.

"That man is not a bad person at heart?"

Nami's mouth twitched. That burly and scary man was like a madman.

"I understand, Uncle Rayleigh."

Luffy said with a smile.

Not to mention that Rayleigh has helped them so much (Wang Li is good), this request is not too much.

Besides, he doesn't like killing people.

"I asked the Whitebeard Pirates' shipwrights to help you plate your ship. You can choose to go to Fishman Island tomorrow, or you can choose to play in Shampoo Land for two days.

Rayleigh smiled and said,"Hachi and Camie are also here."

"Xiaoba and Camie haven't left yet." Luffy said with a smile

"They insisted on waiting for you and taking you to Fishman Island."

"Then let's play for two days."

Luffy thought for a moment and said,"Didn't Camie say her dream was to go to the amusement park in Shampoo?"

"Playground"

""Go ahead."

Chopper and Usopp were immediately excited.

The other members saw that the captain had already spoken, so they naturally had no problem.

Moreover, their ship was not so conspicuous in Shabaodi. If the navy really sent people over, they could always use the coated ship to dive away.

Shabaodi No. 60.

This is where the navy and the world government personnel are stationed.

"Momo, 100 times faster."

Bondiwald picked up some gravel and knocked down the naval soldier who was fleeing in the distance.

Barrett waved his strong arms, and every time he swung his fist, it was like a storm on the ground, sweeping countless soldiers directly into the sky.

In just a moment, all the naval garrison soldiers were dealt with by the two.

Including those pacifists who made the supernova feel extremely difficult, in front of the two, they were no different from moving scrap metal.

"Hey, Barrett, aren't your targets the navy and the world government? Do you want to join forces?"

Bondiwald said with a toothless smile.

Standing at the naval port of the Sabaody Archipelago, they can rob the navy warships and leave.

But when they parted ways, Wald was reluctant.

It was not because he was reluctant, but whether it was Barrett or Crocodile, their strength was much stronger than his original partners.
