Pirate: I'm not the King of the Sea, so don't mess with me.

Beckman was still worried.

So I got off the ship with some cadres.

Uta insisted on following, and Beckman thought for a moment and agreed, so the little girl was currently lying on Hongo's back.

Shanks' position is still very easy to lock.

because……

"Wait, wait, don't get excited yet..."

"Tell me not to get excited? You just wanted to kidnap me, right?"

Boom!

After a simple argument, a loud rumble came from the forest ahead.

The red regiment cadres headed by Beckman stopped one after another.

Everyone looked upward.

The direction where the loud noise came from.

The big tree collapsed suddenly, and smoke and dust rolled in chasing the birds and animals in the forest.

"Calm down, calm down, I really don't mean any harm, uh..."

With a familiar groan.

Everyone saw a familiar figure in a black cloak flying upside down out of the billowing smoke, heading straight towards their direction.

Beckman took a sharp look, then made a mistake in his steps and got out of the way.

There was no intention of taking one at all.

A familiar figure with a black cloak and a red head crossed Beckman's side.

Seeing this, the other cadres who were standing at different positions hid aside without any love from their companions.

Shanks rolled several times on the grass behind everyone before he reluctantly stopped.

Suddenly, Beckman's eyes tightened and he quickly reminded: "Get down."

With quick eyes and hands, Hongo pulled the Uta off his back and held it in his arms. He quickly threw his body on the grass in the forest, holding the little Uta tightly under his body.

The others followed suit and got down quickly out of trust in the vice-captain.

As soon as there was movement here, several green wind blades chased out from the direction Shanks was flying from.

The wind blade flew over everyone's heads, and wherever it passed, thick trees were cut in half.

Continuous rumbling noises came from behind.

Everyone looked in the direction behind them.

Every eyeball bulged.

Both shocked and scared.

Because the wind blades that just flew over their heads directly 'smoothed' the path they came from and extended all the way to the shore...

No way? Such a long distance...

The sounds of gasping and swallowing came and went.

It showed the unrest in everyone's hearts.

Beckman raised his head and looked in the direction of the forest.

A faint black figure loomed in the twisted smoke, and the sound of clear footsteps came towards them unhurriedly.

Beckman slowly narrowed his eyes and suddenly looked back in the direction of Shanks.

Shanks got up from the ground, rubbing his stomach that was still hurting after being kicked, and tightening the straw hat on his head in distress, sighing: "Yaya is getting more and more violent! Hiss, it really hurts." ~"

Beckman wanted to ask him what he had done to deserve a beating.

…And if I remember correctly, I just heard the word ‘kidnapping’.

Before the words were spoken, Beckman noticed something and hurriedly took a few steps back and left the position where he had just been standing.

He frowned and looked sharply.

A vine-like plant twisted its body where he had just stood, but quickly retracted into the soil after missing its target.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Beckman would have thought he was wrong.

"Fuck, what is this?"

"Wow~when did you show up?"

"I can't break free! Fuck, are they made of iron?"

"I'm stuck, hey, what's going on!"

"What kind of weird plant is this?"

Beckman turned around sharply.

He found that except for himself, Shanks and Uta who were hiding quickly, everyone was tied tightly by vines as thick as their little fingers.

Beckman frowned and looked at the vines.

The vines seem to have self-awareness. Not only will they wrap around people, they also know how to avoid attacks. Some of them will even cooperate with other vines to wrap themselves up when they are not prepared.

A group of people with high martial prowess were bound by seemingly 'weak' vines and were unable to resist at all.

Uta was also startled. She worriedly wanted to pull the vines on Hongo's body, but was stopped by Hongo who fell to the ground.

He told Uta sternly: "Go to Baker, hurry up!"

Uta's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and upon hearing this, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Beckman and Shanks.

The little girl who had experienced a lot on this ship pursed her lips, finally made up her mind to take back her hand, turned around and ran to Beckman's side.

While protecting Uta, Beckman raised his head and looked in the direction of the woods.

Fruit ability?

No, using the wind blade and the ability to control vegetation at the same time...

As far as he knew, both natural systems had masters.

Thinking again about what Shanks said about "Yaya has the ability to control the sea"...

Beckman felt that this might not be a fruit ability.

"Yaya, I really don't mean any harm, so don't tie up my companion~"

While Beckman was contemplating, Shanks' pitiful voice came.

Beckman suddenly came to his senses.

Immediately afterwards, a silver-white hair flashed past his eyes.

A beautiful fair face flashed from the corner of the eye.

Beckman was stunned on the spot.

Even though I had seen the photos, the moment I saw the real person, I was still in a daze and couldn't get back to my senses.

Suddenly, the memory of the first meeting between the two and Xia Beidi's instructions came to mind...

He turned around sharply, and when he looked back again, he saw the slim figure with silver-blue gradient hair already standing in front of Shanks.

Shanks was drooping his eyebrows like a big dog, looking at the other party pitifully, with a slightly coquettish tone: "I've kicked you, and I've been angry, so don't be angry~, go to my boat. How about we have a good talk?”

At the end, he smiled in a flattering way.

Beckman:…

To be honest, he looks like a slovenly uncle, showing this expression is really...

A dove flapped its wings and landed on the woman's shoulder.

He was hopping and pointing his wings in the direction of Shanks.

Judging from the back, the pigeon was so angry that smoke was coming from its head. Although I don’t know what they were scolded, it was definitely dirty.

Beckman patted the little head of Uta who was holding his trouser leg tightly, and took out a cigarette from his pocket to light it for himself.

His eyes were always fixed in the direction of Shanks, his deep pupils were still and no one knew what this deep-thinking man was thinking.

Oh, you are talking about the squirming and struggling companions on the ground.

After all, he didn't show any murderous intent from the beginning, so his life was naturally not in danger.

Instead of having this group of people who are just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, joining in the fun and making things worse and worse, it would be better if there were fewer people and it would be quieter.

However, what Beckman didn't expect was that just one Shanks could mess things up very badly.

Hadori jumped angrily: "What's wrong with you, a human being? Is it polite to take action when you disagree?"

"You want to kidnap someone and you still want to have a good talk. Where do you get such a big face?"

"Why don't we go to your ship to talk? Who wants to go to your territory?"

"Please wake up and apologize, you bastard."

Um...cough~

Yaya felt that she was being connoted.

But there is no evidence.

But Hadoli was right.

This guy actually wanted to kidnap her if they disagreed?

Still want to talk on his boat?

Go dream!

Yaya narrowed her eyes.

The man in front of her gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, just like when she saw Kuzan, a sour emotion lingered in her heart.

But at the same time, another unknown complex emotion arose in my heart.

Mainly manifested in that he is a bit... well, irritable.

how to say.

It was as if the child he had watched grow up suddenly became disabled one day... and was irritable.

Especially the other party's mindless acting style and way of speaking, as well as the cheerful demeanor revealed in his words and deeds and his brows...

I always feel as if I have met such a person somewhere, and then I am exhausted and annoyed. I just want to give him a good beating to make him change his shortcomings.

Yaya followed her heart and punched Shanks in the stomach without saying a word.

The unprepared Shanks bent down and covered his stomach, and then was kicked away by Yaya.

Beckman:…

Suddenly I remembered Shanks' confident look on the ship.

The half-smoked cigarette was almost broken by the future emperor's deputy.

The man's eyebrows twitched: This is what the boss calls... the affection that comes off a boat?

Please forgive him for not understanding.
