Above the Pirate King

Chapter 603 Invisible solicitation is the deadliest

"Why are they all gone!" Seeing the back of Arthur and his party leaving, Shanks asked in confusion as he approached Ben Beckman, scratching his head.

"The treasure is finished, so of course we have to leave!" Ben Beckman explained, looking at Shanks and Hawkeye beside Shanks, and said, "Captain, who are you?"

"Ha ha!"

Shanks smiled boldly, and said, "After the fight, the two of us cherished each other, so we became friends!"

This is a very ridiculous reason!
But if Shanks said it, Ben Beckman, including the Red Hair Pirates, would also believe it!
Because this is Shanks!
What strange things you do, what strange things happen, you don't think it's strange Shanks!

"By the way, what's the harvest this time!" Shanks said seriously.

"Look for yourself!" As he said, Ben Beckman turned sideways, revealing a box full of gold, silver and jewelry behind him, as well as a box containing rubber fruits and the Supreme Knife Twelve Crafts!

"Wow, wow, the harvest is rich!" Shanks showed joy on his face, walked towards the boxes, and then squatted in front of these boxes, stroking the gold jewels inside the boxes!
After a short while of joy, Shanks gradually turned his attention to the two boxes placed on top of these boxes!
"What is this?" Shanks curiously picked up the box containing the rubber fruit, and asked while opening it.

"It turned out to be a devil fruit!" Shanks suddenly said after seeing the fruit with strange textures inside.

At this time, Ben Beckman on the side explained, "This is a rubber fruit!"

"Rubber fruit." Shanks murmured, picked up the fruit and looked at it carefully, and said loudly to the surroundings, "Which one of you wants to eat this devil fruit? The first one to stand up, give it to him." Already!"

Shanks has no need for devil fruits, so he generously prepares them for the crew!
Apparently these crew members are pretty much like him, though!
"do not want!"

"Captain, keep it to yourself!"

"I don't want to leave a weakness for myself!"

Everyone present rejected it outright!

"Okay." Shanks smacked his lips and said, "Then put it away first, and put it away as a trophy. Whoever wants to talk about it later!"

Saying that, Shanks closed the box directly, and put the fruit aside.

Immediately, he picked up the long box on the side, opened it and asked, "What is this?"

"The Twelve Swordsmanship, Griffin!" Ben Beckman explained.

And with his explanation, Shanks also saw clearly the Griffin in the box.

This is not the mainstream sword in this world, but a western sword!

Possesses an unremarkable gauntlet and an equally unremarkable scabbard!
"Chong-"

When Shanks picked up the sword and slowly drew it out, its unusualness was revealed!

Under the slender body of a normal western sword, the blade reveals a sharp edge visible to the naked eye.

After drawing out the sword, Shanks waved it twice.

Immediately!

"Whoa!"

Two sharp sword qi flew out!

"Good sword!" Seeing this, Shanks said with a trace of joy on his face, "It just so happens that my sword broke just now!"

Said, Shanks put the sword into the scabbard, and stuck it in his waist!
"How is it?" Shanks got up and asked the crew with a smile.

"Not bad!"

"Captain, you use it just right!"

"It matches you very well!"

All the crew members said with a smile.

"Captain, is your original sword broken?" Ben Beckman's attention was different from others, he looked at Shanks' waist and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, when I fought with Mihawk just now, it was too fierce, the sword couldn't stand it, and it broke!" Shanks said a little sadly, and then said with some relief, "I buried it in our In the battlefield just now!"

To be honest, Shanks was very sad that the sword that had accompanied him for many years was broken!
Although that sword can only be regarded as a good sword, it cannot be ranked as a famous sword, but things like feelings are not determined according to the quality of the sword!
As the sword that accompanied his growth all the way, Shanks still has a deep affection for it!

It's a pity that no matter how deep the feelings are, it's hard to bear that it can't keep up with its own strength!

Just like Luffy's Golden Merry, although he has a very deep relationship with it, experienced many adventures together, and even gave birth to a ship elf, but if he can't keep up, he can't keep up. If you want to move on , I can only reluctantly abandon it and replace it with a new boat!

Shanks sees this more clearly than Luffy!
Although he was sad, he buried the sword without hesitation and replaced it with a new one!
After listening, Ben Beckman also nodded silently.

The sword is broken!
Also normal!
That sword can only be considered a good sword, but it really can't keep up with Shanks' growth, so it's better to be broken now than to be broken in a life-and-death battle in the future.

If it was broken at that time, it would not be just a sword!
At this time, Shanks suddenly thought of something again, with a joyful expression on his face, he turned to look at Hawkeye, and said with a smile, "Mihawk, look, I have a new sword, our battle continues Bar?"

Before, the reason why they stopped fighting was also because Shanks' sword was broken!

With Shanks' sword broken, Hawkeye is unwilling to continue fighting!

Unless it was a life-and-death battle, in a challenging situation, he didn't want to fight a swordsman under unfair circumstances.

Well, especially for a friend like Shanks who can catch eyes at once, he doesn't even want to fight!

"This"

Hawkeye frowned, a little excited!

To be honest, he still has a lot to say about the battle just now.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Hawkeye shook his head again, and said, "No, you just got this sword and you are not familiar with it yet. If you fight like this, it will be unfair to you!"

Speaking of this, Hawkeye changed his voice and said in a deep voice, "And for me, I don't like to challenge my opponent when he is not in his prime!"

"It's such a pity!" Shanks said helplessly.

"I'm leaving first, and I'll come to you next time. I hope that when you come next time, you can get acquainted with it, and give me some surprises with it, so that I can have a good fight!" Hawkeye said seriously.

"Don't worry!" Shanks patted his chest boldly and promised, "Next time I come, I will definitely have a good fight with you!"

Listening, Hawkeye nodded, then walked towards the coast, waved his hands, and said, "Let's go, don't send it off!"

"Goodbye!" Shanks looked at his back and said boldly.

Soon!

Hawkeye once again sat on his small raft and rowed towards the original goal!
And when he left for about 5 minutes,

Suddenly, the shadow under him moved!

A ninja from the Phantom Corps slowly floated up from his shadow!
"Who?"

Hawkeye, who was aware of the shadow for the first time, squinted at the ninja and asked

The ninja didn't answer him, but just took a shuriken and carved words on the floor of the small raft.

Soon, after the words were engraved, the ninja turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared in place!

At this time, Hawkeye, who had been on guard all along, also read all the words engraved by the ninja.

There are good things, come back quickly-Yamamoto Motoyanagi Shigekuni.

"Um!?"

After reading this word, Hawkeye was stunned.

Immediately, he came to his senses without much hesitation, directly gave up his original goal, and turned back towards the exit of the new world!
-
the other side!
Feeling the ninja's return, Arthur's eyes flashed with a gleam!
As for the solicitation of talents, Arthur is always in progress!

So for such a good thing as the Tower of Trials, he is not stingy and ready to let Hawkeye experience it!

When he thought about it, with his eagle-eyed personality, he would definitely be addicted to this kind of thing!
And what if he becomes addicted?
Stay in St. Martin, even permanent!

There is a saying that is good, invisible wooing is the most deadly!
If a person lives in a kingdom all year round, eats the food of that kingdom, uses the goods of that kingdom, and even integrates into that kingdom, then what is the difference between him and the people of that kingdom?
Especially for a person like Hawkeye, if he has been receiving Arthur's favor, then if Arthur asks him for something in the future, and it does not violate his morality, he will definitely be willing to help!
