Starting from the pirates, the brain hole exploded

Among the noisy crowd, there were two guys with a very special temperament, sitting quietly in the corner of the counter, chatting and laughing in low voices. Their volume was controlled very softly, but they perfectly blended into the noisy and lively atmosphere nearby. .

On the right is a one-armed red-haired elderly man. Although his left eye has three hideous scars, his whole temperament is quite warm, especially when he smiles, he is full of affinity.

The drinker on the left is about the same age as him. He has short black hair, a slight beard, and is wearing a burgundy patterned shirt. The most eye-catching thing is his sharp yellow eyes like an eagle, which contain a terrifying pressure that makes people laugh. Don't dare to look at him.

One of the Four Emperors, the red-haired Shanks.

King Shichibukai, Hawkeye Mihawk.

These are two names that resound throughout the sea. The meaning behind them is enough for the Navy Headquarters to attach great importance to it. But what many ordinary people cannot imagine is that these two big figures in the pirate world are at this moment. To be able to drink wine in the same bar so low-key, chatting like close friends for many years.

If word gets out, I'm afraid many newspapers will be upset about it...

"Okay, we're almost done talking about the business."

I don't know how long it took, but the conversation between the two finally came to an end. Hawkeye put down the wine glass in his hand, glanced at the sky outside the window, and prepared to get up, "It's time for me to leave. We'll talk about the rest next time we meet."

"Hey, hey, hey, there's no such thing as running away after talking!" Shanks pressed his shoulder down and laughed: "Since you're here, before I have a drink, I can I can’t let you go so easily!”

"Didn't you already drink it when you were on Ir Island?" Hawkeye was a little helpless and frowned slightly, "I remember the reason why you did this was to celebrate that child... It seems his name is Luffy, and he was offered a reward by the navy. Come on, you don’t have any excuses today, do you?”

"Who said no?"

Shanks immediately snorted, took out a newspaper from his arms, and slapped it on the table: "See for yourself, isn't this a happy event?"

"Oh? Your bounty has increased again?"

Mihawk glanced at Shanks with some surprise, but the latter only gave him a mysterious smile. He had no choice but to shake his head, pick up the newspaper on the table, shake it open, and start reading.

This is the World Economic News, the premier newspaper in the Grand Line. The front page headlines are usually used to report recent big news, such as the robbery of Tianjin, the convening of the World Government Conference, and the replacement of the King Shichibukai.

But the headline on the front page of the newspaper with yesterday's date was a seemingly absurd statement:

[The new game that is popular all over the world - it's a man who insists on five seconds, the world game ranking version is officially launched! 】

"Huh?" Mihawk raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone a little surprised, "A man insists on five seconds? If I remember correctly... is this a game that comes with the new generation of phone bugs?"

"Eh? Have you heard of it too?"

Shanks suddenly became energetic and said with surprise: "That's great! Now that you know this, I don't need to explain anything more. Come on, read on. You'll understand later!"

"I just heard people talk about it occasionally."

Mihawk shook his head lightly, but under Shanks' urging gaze, he had to follow the other person's temper and continue to look down.

This is a very long chapter. It can be seen that the World Economic News attaches great importance to this little game with a weird name. It not only introduces the gameplay and basic content of this game in detail in hundreds of words, but also uses it later. A column highlights the game's significance and how popular it is in the world today.

"Can you train your senses and improve your reflexes?"

Seeing this, Mihawk put down the newspaper with laughter, raised his head and glanced at Shanks, "I said, you don't really believe this kind of nonsense, do you?"

"No, it's true."

Unexpectedly, Shanks, who was originally smiling, became quite serious at this moment: "This game does have extremely high requirements for seeing, hearing, and seeing. Without a strong enough domineering force, it is simply not enough to get a high score, or even survive five." You can’t do it even in seconds. On the other hand, playing this game for a long time will also promote your understanding and help improve your control over it.”

At this point, he paused and laughed again, "Well... although for guys of our level, the training effect is minimal, but after all, it's better than nothing. In the end, it's just a game. , it’s already very good to have this kind of effect.”

Mihawk's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head and continued to browse the information below. After skipping a long paragraph praising the playability of this game, at the bottom of the front page, he saw a message A long list of weird names, these seem to be the top [-] in the "World Player Ranking" mentioned in the title.

"Hmm...it seems there are a lot of acquaintances there?"

After browsing for a while, Mihawk finally showed some interest. He tapped the newspaper rhythmically with his knuckles and read out lightly, "The phoenix at No. 19 is that guy Marco. Right? As for the foil sword ranked No. 20, nine out of ten are Star..."

"Hahahaha, this one is more conspicuous, and the rest of the people are basically acquaintances." Shanks grinned, "For example, No. 2 is the one from the Shanault family named Katakuri. He is a rising star in the past few years. I heard that he is very knowledgeable and is a great newcomer. Not to mention No. 4, I didn’t expect that old man Kizaru to write down his real name.”

"What about No.3?"

Mihawk moved his eyes and looked at the strange name "Who gave the name of God to a group of stupid mortals", he felt an air of arrogance coming towards his face, which made people unbearable to look at, "Taking such a name Yes, he should be either a weirdo or a young kid like that, right?"

"I don't know that anymore."

Shanks spread his hands regretfully, "But I only know that this guy is very aggressive. When the rankings came out the day before yesterday, I remember he was still No. 4. Yesterday, in the blink of an eye, he went one step further and surpassed No. 3. Hahaha, I don’t know what Kizaru will think when he sees this change in ranking!”

"..."

Regarding the character of his old friend... Mihawk was a little speechless for a moment. He was an admiral of the Navy headquarters after all. Firstly, he was busy with work, and secondly, he was in his 50s. Shanks... Guy, do you think everyone is as careless as him and take such a small thing to heart?
