One Piece: The Magician

Meanwhile, the new world.

The blue sky is dotted with white clouds. When the clouds are rolling and relaxing, a huge floating island is hanging high above the clouds.

The island is full of life, with lush green woods and vast blue lake. It is as beautiful as a fairy tale.

Unnamed birds sang happily, cattle, sheep, and hares were dancing on the ground, and the sun shone in the creek with a little silver light. Everything was so quiet, beautiful, and harmonious.

It is precisely because of this beautiful scenery like a paradise on earth that this empty island was named by its owner.

Paradise Island.

In the center of Paradise Island, there is a majestic and solemn castle.

The castle is entirely silvery white, and even if you look closely you can't detect any flaws, as if it were carved from a giant piece of white jade.

A silent aura emanates from here, like the palace of a god king in heaven, making people subconsciously feel a sense of worship.

At the top of the castle, a skull and crossbones flag with three pairs of wings was fluttering in the wind.

If this pirate flag was placed in the first half of the Grand Line, few people would probably know about it. After all, its popularity is not high.

But if it is in the new world, especially in the eyes of the big pirates who dominate one side, this Seraph Skull and Bones Flag has a great background.

Because it is the flag of the Silver-haired Pirates.

And this paradise island is also the base camp of the Silver-haired Pirates.

At this moment, in order to welcome guests from afar, a grand banquet was being held in the hall of the castle.

The aromas of barbecue and fine wine complement each other, and cheers and laughter arise one after another.

The pirates were singing and dancing, completely forgetting the cruelty of the sea, and enjoying this happy time to their heart's content.

Unlike their companions who were having fun, the two pirate captains were sitting in the corner, exchanging cups and glasses like old friends they hadn't seen for many years, chatting away.

“Good wine”

After drinking all the liquid in the wine glass, the red-haired man with three scars on his left eye exhaled in relief and exclaimed:

"I have traveled around the world and been to so many places, but this is the first time I have drunk such a superb wine. What is its name?"

"Heart of the Lion King, this is the tribute wine of the Yinggrant royal family. Of course you can't drink it anywhere else."

"Hey, is that the country of knights that is a sworn enemy of Wano?"

The red-haired man recalled briefly, only remembering that the spirit of chivalry there was very famous. According to legend, there was a dragon that made a contract with the knight and became a more powerful dragon knight.

And it is very similar to the country of Wano. Because the Orio Grant knights are extremely powerful, it also has not joined the World Government, and it also does not welcome outsiders.

"It's really interesting. I will definitely go there if I have the chance."

"Heh, then I'm afraid you'll have to ask me if I agree first, Shanks."

Her vermilion eyes narrowed slightly, and she stared at the red-haired man in front of her, as if she was not looking at a sea emperor, but a thief trying to steal food from her bowl.

"Because that place will soon become my territory."

"Oh your place"

The red-haired Shanks also suppressed his smile and looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him quietly.

More than ten years have passed, but her appearance is still the same as when we first met. It seems that apart from the improvement in strength and aura, the years have not left the slightest trace on her.

As the two looked at each other wordlessly, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became oppressive, and even the air seemed to be filled with a vague smell of gunpowder.

The pirates who were having a carnival seemed to have sensed something, and they all turned their attention to the two captains who were confronting each other. The originally noisy banquet quickly became audible.

The two groups of pirates looked at me and I looked at you. Not only did they not show any intention of supporting their captains, but they were communicating with each other with their eyes.

No, why are we arguing again?

Are these two going to fight again?

I remember the last time they fought, even the sky cracked.

Hey, hey, hey, if you want to fight, don't fight in your hometown, Captain.

Recalling the horrific scene when the two of them fought last time, the red-haired and silver-haired crew members all looked frightened.

After a moment, Shanks' originally serious face suddenly smiled, and he smiled very freely.

"Hahahaha, it seems your wings have really hardened."

In a sense, Shanks is still half a teacher with silver hair. Seeing his junior grow to such an extent, he is actually very happy in his heart.

As the red-haired man laughed heartily, the oppressive atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed. All the pirates breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to eat and drink. The banquet became lively again.

"But have you really thought about it?"

Suppressing his smile, Shanks poured himself another cup of Lion King's Heart, and said with a hint:

"This ocean is very vast, but it is also very small, so small that it cannot accommodate more overlords."

"And you should know better than me. If you really take that step, your family will never accommodate you again."

"Family, they are not my family."

Silver-haired retorted unceremoniously: "Although we share the same blood, for me, there is only one person I can call family."

"And haven't I told you before? My dream is to become the Pirate King. This has never changed, so I am determined to win the Four Emperors."

The silver-haired girl grabbed a big piece of fragrant meat from the dinner plate, took a bite, and said while chewing:

"Just wait and see, I will definitely find Onepiece first, and then snatch back the straw hat you gave me, to prove how bad you are at seeing people."

"Are you talking about Luffy?"

Thinking of the bright smiling face wearing a straw hat on the reward order, Shanks subconsciously touched his broken arm, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the little kid who could only cry had grown into a big pirate with a bounty of over [-] million.

And the little girl who almost fell into the sea and drowned back then is now almost on par with her.

"Yes, if I remember correctly"

After sighing in his heart for a while, Shanks suddenly remembered something. He picked up the wine glass and asked the silver-haired girl:

"That newcomer called the Magician should be your brother. Isn't he on Luffy's ship right now?"

"puff"

The silver-haired girl who was enjoying the barbecue in peace heard this and almost spit out the food in her mouth.

She suppressed a cough and swallowed the food, but accidentally choked on it again. Her cheeks were covered with an attractive blush due to congestion.

It’s really hard to pick up any pot xn

Several silver-haired subordinates looked at Shanks with complaints in their eyes.

After a while, the silver-haired girl regained her composure. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and said calmly:

"Shanks, you just said that you are going to visit Whitebeard in a few days."

"Yes, what's the problem?"

The redhead was a little curious as to why the girl suddenly changed the subject after mentioning her younger brother, but she still nodded.

"Then remember to take a few buckets of Lion King's Heart with you when you leave. That stubborn old man won't give you face."

"If you don't have good wine, he won't listen to your nonsense."

"That's right, haha, thank you very much." Shanks agreed happily.

The silver-haired man nodded and reached for the wine glass, but as soon as he stretched out his hand halfway, a crack suddenly appeared on the exquisitely shaped glass.

""

Staring at the cracks on the cup, the girl frowned slightly, and her already unhappy mood became even more gloomy.

The cup cracked out of thin air, which was not a good sign no matter where it was.

夏洛

The silver-haired woman had an extremely ominous premonition in her heart, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She calmed down and stretched out a finger.

A soft light shone on her green-white fingers, and the girl used it to lightly touch the glass. The original cracks on the glass were miraculously restored.

Don't let anything happen to you

Staring at the intact cup in her hand, the silver-haired girl prayed silently in her heart.
