The Great Swordsman of One Piece

Chapter 341 I want to become One Piece!
On the coast, Shanks and his crew, Makino, the village chief, and Bit with the two little girls are all watching quietly.

They were looking at the bandit leader in the middle of the sea, carrying Luffy and driving a small boat with the breaking waves.

Although such a distance is not short, it is also not long.If the bandit leader wants to do something, Shanks and the others can stop it in time.

Shanks is watching Luffy.The timing this time is simply perfect: when Luffy is facing the threat of death, let Luffy get hope first, and then let him despair.

Luffy, who is only seven years old, is so perfect.The bandit kept talking about killing him, but he didn't even cry.

He just kept staring at the bandit angrily, saying that you are not allowed to scold Shanks and the like.This kid can't even swear.

Shanks looked at Luffy on the shore, and the more he watched, the more satisfied he became.This kid is just like him.This kind of awareness, this kind of character, even added the talent of ignoring his domineering look.

Suddenly, Shanks' expression changed.In his knowledge-colored perception, a sea king rushed towards Luffy and the bandit.

"Mr. Beetle, everyone, don't do anything, I'll take care of it." Shanks said eagerly, and then jumped into the sea.

The next moment, a king of the near sea broke through the water, and in a split second, it gnawed the small boat and ate the bandit leader in its mouth.

In the next moment, the King of the Sea jumped at Luffy, who was weak in the water and couldn't even struggle, who was not enough to fit his teeth.And the only thing Luffy can do is to open his eyes and stare at the sea kings in front of him.Such a death can still have some dignity.

The next moment, a black shadow flashed in front of Luffy's eyes, and Luffy had to close his eyes due to the strong wind.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Shanks hugging her, and the king of the sea who was scared away by Shanks' "mix away".

"Xiang... Shanks... you... your arm." Luffy, who was held in Shanks' arms, stammered and looked at Shanks.

In front of him, Shanks was holding him, his left arm was broken at the root.

"Ah, it's nothing, Luffy. It's just an arm." Shanks comforted Luffy with a smile.This time, though, Shanks couldn't spare his hand to touch his head.

"Ah!!! Shanks!!!" Luffy grabbed Shanks by the collar, raised his head with tears in his face, and screamed heartbreakingly...

……

into the night.In Makino's Tavern.Bit and the one-armed Shanks are sitting and drinking together.

Bit, who was serving the wine, suddenly chuckled, and said, "Fortunately, your arm was bitten off by the King of the Sea."

"What a blessing, Mr. Beetle. It's not like losing your arm." Shanks said after laughing a few times.

"It really doesn't make any difference to you. But if your arm is cut off artificially, Donghai will probably be in chaos for a while."

Shanks nodded silently.He also agreed with Bit's statement.After all, both Bucky and Mihawk are pretty good now.

Their relationship with Shanks is also pretty good.It's the kind of pirate alliance that didn't sign the pirate alliance.If they knew that Shanks lost an arm in the East China Sea...

"Tell me, what did you think at that time. If you don't want an arm, you don't want it." Bit sat by the bar and sipped the wine in his glass, and he changed the subject.

Shanks, who was sitting next to him, fell silent for a moment.He lowered his head slightly, hiding his entire face in the shadow of the straw hat.

"You know what, Mr. Beetle. I'll never forget the night Robin left alone."

Now Shanks has a terrible low voice. "At that time, I hated my weakness, hated my previous repulsion and laziness towards cultivation."

The cup in Shanks' hands had already started to creak.It could be seen that Shanks was forcing himself to calm down.

"Luffy can resist the intimidation of my domineering look at such a young age. His talent is really good. However, it may be because of the grandfather who wants to pull him into the navy anyway, he is extremely repulsive to training. "

"I see a little bit of myself in him, whether it's talent or whatever."

Having said that, Shanks' face was full of determination.

"A person grows only when he feels pain. I hope that Luffy can thrive and know that he can become a great pirate who can stand on his own."

"You are so optimistic about him that you don't hesitate to bet your own arm." Bit drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said with emotion.

"That's right. I'm willing to bet my arm on Luffy. Bet that he can start a new era like Captain Roger!"

Shanks pressed his left shoulder, his face was full of admiration, trust and expectation for Luffy.He really had great expectations for Luffy.

Bit sighed softly, turned and leaned against the bar. "Anyway, it happened. It's too late for you to regret it. So be it."

"I won't regret it, Mr. Beetle." Shanks stood up and pressed the straw hat on his head with his right arm.

"It's so late, I'm leaving first."

Bit yawned slightly and waved his hands, but did not speak.

Shanks who came to the door stopped suddenly. He turned around and looked at Bit and said, "By the way, Mr. Bit. I want to give this straw hat to Luffy. Do you have any objection?"

Bit's hand holding the wine glass stopped in mid-air.He sighed slightly: "Roger has given you the hat, so he is yours. You can do whatever you want with it."

Shanks nodded, then turned around and strode out of the tavern.He's going back to rest.He just broke his arm, so he still needs to rest for a while.

After Bit quietly drank all the remaining wine, he also left the tavern.By the way, he locked the door.Makino went back to rest a long time ago.This tavern is the door reserved for Bit and Shanks.

……

Two days later, on the coast of Windmill Village.Shanks was standing on the shore watching his partners come and go carrying supplies to the ship.

They have been in Donghai for nearly three months.It's time to return to the new world.After all, they are also famous big pirates in the New World.Always carry it in places like the East China Sea, even the navy will not be at ease.

"You are leaving, Shanks." Luffy said standing on the stone steps beside the port, looking at Shanks who was about to board the ship in front of him.

Shanks stopped walking when he heard that, he turned around and stood in front of Luffy. "Yeah, we're leaving. Do you have anything to say? Say it first, I won't take you on board."

"I'm not going to get on your boat either, Shanks." Luffy looked at Shanks with confidence and firmness written all over his face.

"I will find a group of partners who are not weaker than you, and then get the biggest secret treasure in this sea! I want to become One Piece!"

"Oh. You want to surpass us." Shanks looked at Luffy and said.He had a gentle smile on his face, as if coaxing a child.

Luffy pouted and looked up at Shanks. "Hey! What kind of tone are you talking about! I have already found an excellent navigator! Soon I will find a partner who is even better than you!"

However, after listening to Luffy's words, the expression on Shanks' face still didn't change much.He has always been such a gentle look today, which is completely different from his usual.

"Well, then I wish you good luck." While speaking, Shanks took off his straw hat and put it on Luffy's head.

The big straw hat was buckled on the little head, and this straw hat even covered most of Luffy's face.

"This is something more important than my life, and it is stored with you temporarily. Don't forget to return it to me when you become a great pirate who can be your own."

After saying that, Shanks didn't stay any longer, he turned around and strode onto his pirate ship.

"Partners, set sail!"
