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

When he saw Akainu chasing after the Curry Pirates, Beckman knew that his original plan had been disrupted by an unexpected situation.

The calculating first mate's eyes flashed, and he immediately adjusted his next plan without haste.

However, as soon as he turned around and planned to tell the old man to evacuate, he found that a disturbing guy had already been standing on the bow of the ship, with his hand on the handle of the knife and his eyes glaringly staring in Akainu's direction.

Zenia on the side was desperately holding on to Barton who wanted to rescue her companions.

The other people on the ship also became nervous and busy because of the arrival of the admiral.

The words that reached his lips were swallowed back silently.

The tired first mate took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

His vision was obscured by the steaming smoke, and he looked at the back of his captain with deep eyes.

He turned his eyes to Qianying, who was caught off guard and could only watch Barton swimming toward the Curry Pirates.

Suddenly, I remembered the boss's reaction when he read in the newspaper that one day five or six years ago, "Sakaski was promoted to general of the headquarters."

At that time, they had just finished plundering the pirate ship and were having a banquet to celebrate in the cave of their stronghold that was always covered with ice and snow.

A group of people were drinking and eating meat while laughing and chatting aimlessly, while outside the cave there was a howling blizzard.

Shanks, who was a captain and loved banquets, was already tipsy. At that time, he was laughing and patting Jesus on the shoulder while complaining to him about the several battle experiences of "Hawkeye's tricks are really bad".

Jesus slapped the boss's hand away with a face full of reluctance and complained: "I see you are obviously enjoying it, right? After all, you are a guy who rarely meets his opponent in swordsmanship."

Shanks laughed heartily: "That's right, that guy actually knows Yaya too, what a wonderful fate!"

At that time, Beckman silently turned away his eyes.

An expression that has long been used to strange things.

After all, no matter who this guy chats with, he will definitely talk about Zenia within a few words.

——After Zenia's life card was burned out and Shanks was depressed for several days, she suddenly started talking to him about that girl.

At that time, Shanks' expression was like, 'If you don't try your best to remember that person, then that person is truly dead.'

Although Beckman doesn't know Shanks and Zenia's past, it is this silently holding on to something that makes people unable to help but move.

So after that, Beckman's attitude towards Shanks, who was always clamoring for him to get on the ship, became much better.

However, he was so annoyed by it that even today, many years later, Beckman is still familiar with the past that does not belong to him.

Short-term memories are like passing clouds and smoke, fleeting.

It was during this lost moment that the newcomers who were clamoring to go hunting brought back a new issue of the newspaper.

...It's really hard for them to find the newsbird hiding in the hay and shivering in the wind and snow.

Generally speaking, only the promotion of generals in the headquarters is a big deal, and the rest are tidbits created by the news agency for the sake of newspaper sales.

Nothing of value.

So he handed the newspaper to Shanks casually, and whether he read it or burned it all depended on everyone's preference.

But what I didn't expect was that the guy who rarely read newspapers actually opened the newspaper that day for the first time, and while burping from wine, he saw the news about being promoted to general.

At that moment, everyone in the cave felt the change in Shanks' aura.

The originally relaxed atmosphere was swept away by a domineering aura, and many drunk guys were mostly sobered by the shock.

Everyone looked at the boss who suddenly changed his face in confusion. You looked at me and I looked at you. It was rare that they didn't dare to open their mouths to get into trouble.

Beckman, who was just about to lean forward to get the drink, was also stunned.

After receiving hints of concern from the cadres, Beckman sat back down and asked why he suddenly couldn't control his lust.

Shanks didn't smile at that time. He pulled the edge of the newspaper with both hands and pinched the folds with his fingers.

The shadow when he lowered his head covered most of his face, and the orange bonfire shone into his dark eyes, like rising anger.

Just when Beckman thought he wouldn't answer, he suddenly spoke: "This guy is already a general!"

It was almost an emotional tone.

Immediately afterwards, the low pressure suddenly dissipated, and the red-haired man suddenly burst into laughter and slapped his thigh, like a drunk man suddenly acting crazy: "It is indeed a navy full of talents. I am very excited about the next world." I’m even more looking forward to it~”

Everyone looked at him and smiled without knowing why, and they all fell into confusion and worry.

I don't know if this is a happy thing or not, but Shanks laughed to tears.

After laughing for a while, he put down the newspaper, with a hearty smile as usual, and looked at everyone present with stern eyes: "Hey Mina~"

His eyes were calm and calm, shining like stars against the backdrop of the campfire: "Although it is too much to ask you to become as strong as me, but in order not to lose any of you, we have something to do next."

Everyone was silent for a long time.

Beckman suddenly realized what he was thinking and chuckled casually.

Immediately afterwards, a sneer came from the crowd: "Boss, are you drunk? Do you even need to say this?"

Afterwards, everyone in the red group burst into laughter...

Time returned to the present, looking at Shanks who had pulled out Griffin and was full of fighting spirit.

Beckman, who had long expected such a day to come, had no intention of stopping him, but...

I always feel that the boss's equation of 'Yaya was killed by the people brought by Akainu = Yaya was killed by Akainu = Akainu must atone for what he has done' is too simple and crude.

Recalling all the information received since arriving in Beihai.

The naval hero Garp came to the North Sea as expected.

In order to stop the Roger Pirates (?), Admiral Kizaru volunteered to lead the fleet to the North Sea...

Vice Admiral Gion turned the ship from the New World and urgently reunited with Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Even……

Akainu also came to Beihai!

The actions of others were expected, but Akainu's actions were completely unexpected in Beckman's opinion.

After all, the guy who was chasing and killing people in the first place was Akainu himself.

But now again...

Do you want to kill Zheniya again?

Looking at the admiral Ling Ran standing at the bow of the ship from a distance across the sea, Beckman observed the other person's gaze for a while...

Come to a conclusion that is unstoppably shocking.

Akainu Sakaski did not come with murderous intent.

How can this be?

Beckman narrowed his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Zhenia, who might have jumped into the sea to fish Barton back if Uta hadn't been holding her tightly in fear.

...I suddenly felt that if it was such a woman, it would be reasonable for Akainu to fall in love with her.

It turned out to be the case.

It turned out to be like this...

Beckman's thoughts were interrupted by the familiar coercion.

Following several exclamations, Beckman realized something and looked towards the bow of the ship.

Sure enough, the person who was standing there a moment ago had already jumped into the air, and Griffin, who was being held beside him, was wrapped in dark armor.

Shanks' goal is very clear, which is to stand on the bow of the warship and look calmly at Akainu.

Once the old grudges of many years broke out with Shanks, Beckman knew that he would never stop until he got out of his anger.

unless……

Beckman looked at Zenia, who was also looking in the direction of Shanks.

He pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers and sighed.

So boss, if you insist on taking action against Akainu like a stupid young man, maybe it’s not just an old grudge from eight years ago, right?

Sure enough, this level of beauty disaster is really... giving Beckman the urge to join in and support him.
