[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

It can be seen from the literal meaning that the most important thing about this kind of gathering is the lively atmosphere of the banquet besides the good wine.

If the crew members of the red-haired pirates who stayed on the ship come over, those pirates who have never even seen the stave will probably smile and sing songs that are never in the same tune, shoulder to shoulder in this hall to dance in.They may still quarrel over a piece of meat or a glass of wine. Occasionally one or two sit still, they must be drunk, but these people will not stop, they will keep bragging to the air Adventure story.

In short, if they come, the palace hall will definitely be noisy and lively, and cheerful laughter will echo in the hall for a long time.

Instead of being like now, groups of beauties with exotic styles are performing in front of the main hall in turn. The five people on both sides of the long table, no, it should be said that the three people with elegant manners and aristocratic smiles are exactly the same. While enjoying the singing and dancing, they were talking in a low voice.The two tall men on the left side of the long table seemed to be lacking in interest. If it wasn't for the fast replacement of the jugs in their hands, the maids would have suspected that they had fallen asleep on the long table.

But for one of them, compared to the current situation, he really would rather find a corner to stay and sleep.

Putting down the empty wine glass in his hand, and glanced at the gauze next to him with the same expression since he came in, Shanks felt that the fine wine on the long table had lost its appeal to him.

No matter how delicious the wine is, you have to drink it with someone to have a good taste!

At this time, Shanks really regretted that he had just agreed to Sarai, and would maintain the image of a cold big pirate in front of outsiders throughout the night.When you enter the hall, you will never say a word or make an extra action.

It's all right now, and he can't go back on a little girl, so he can only endure the soft singing and dancing like this, listening to Sha Lai and the two princesses talking about nothing except the honorific greetings.

If I had known earlier, I should have let Beckman come here alone. He stayed on the Foss, and maybe he could play with the major general of the headquarters...

"If we can reach a cooperation with your country, then our Jewel family will certainly feel extremely honored. But before I take the liberty to confirm again, His Majesty's meeting with Major General Flying Squirrel yesterday—"

The elongated intonation of Xilai is really weird, but is that Rear Admiral called Flying Squirrel?Why does Xilai seem to be very familiar with people?

Shanks clamped the handle of the empty wine glass with two fingers, turned the wine glass around with a twist of his fingers, pulled back his thoughts that had strayed, and listened carefully to the conversation next to him.

"Don't worry about the Navy. From the beginning, the only person I want to cooperate with is Diamond and you."

"That's really an honor. However, although we need to follow the long-term plan regarding the elimination of the rebel army, judging from the request they made yesterday for kidnapping hostages, from now until your coronation day the day after tomorrow, there is a possibility that they will do it again. Very high. I hope to stay in the palace and protect your safety nearby."

Can you enter the hall?

Shanks gently put down the cup in his hand, preventing himself from dropping the cup when he was surprised by the unfolding of the conversation.

The so many boring words I just said, besides changing the Queen's name to him, does it still have this effect?She didn't seem to say anything special just now?

Shanks turned his head to the left in doubt, and gave Beckman a wink, wondering if Lu heard something important while he was in a daze.

It's a pity that his first officer didn't intend to answer his questions.

After receiving a warning look, Shanks turned his head resentfully, intending to pour himself another glass of wine, when he heard the Queen's answer.

"Okay, then I'll thank the three of you here first. I'll let the maid arrange the room. Is it okay for the three of you to live in one suite?"

"Of course it couldn't be better. Thank you Your Majesty for your careful arrangements."

Did you really agree?

Shanks quickly glanced at the two princesses opposite from the corner of his eye, and found that their smiles revealed a lot of joy from the bottom of their hearts compared to the beginning.

He couldn't help but wonder, he was also a big pirate no matter what he said now.Not to mention counting one or two in this sea, counting five or six is ​​not a problem.Even on his own island in the New World, occasionally one or two residents who are not familiar with him will show a fearful expression in front of him.The queen just let him live in the palace?This is really unexpected.

Suppressing his desire to probe the thoughts of the two people on the opposite side with his knowledge, Shanks changed his mind and began to think about the possibility of abducting Sha Lai to his boat.

Even though she is still young, she really knows a lot of interesting things.Changing his face to unlock the intelligence information, it seems that there is no one in charge of intelligence on his ship, and Beckman has always been in charge of this area.If Sha came to join, the number of times Beckman forced him to deal with paperwork would also decrease.

Thinking of the beautiful days in the future when he didn't have to worry about anything but banquets and adventures, Shanks seemed to hear the laughter of his inner villain.So, he continued to think about the possibility of digging up the yarn.

Saying that she looks thin and small, I don't know if she is 15 years old.But the strength is already very good, you can be a trainee sailor or something first, and then...

"Diamond, you don't have to be so restrained, just call our sisters' names in private. We are getting tired of listening to His Majesty every day. Isn't it, Sister Wang?"

"As Alisa said, Diamond, you can treat us as equal partners, just call us by our first names. If Mr. Shanks and Mr. Beckman don't mind, please call us by our first names directly."

Already started calling names?

Shanks saw that the two princesses had let go of most of their defenses, with a relaxed and natural expression, silently determined to invite Sha Lai as a partner.

However, even though he had imagined a beautiful blueprint for the future in his heart, the slightest bit of emotion on his face did not leak out.Maintaining a grim expression, when Sha Lai responded with a smile and began to call Mia and Alisa directly, he and Beckman nodded to the two princesses to show that they understood.

Tsk, it's really difficult to maintain such a cold face, and I must ask for some compensation later.

Otherwise, just use this as a breakthrough and start inviting love to come on board.

Putting down his wine glass, Shanks crossed his arms, completely ignoring the fact that he had agreed to the condition from the beginning, and listed all the reasons in his mind that could be used.Until the banquet was over and he was ushered into the room by the maid, he kept his expression somber and said nothing.Make Beckman next to him look sideways at him frequently, worrying that his unusual quietness is foreshadowing the big moth.

"Xai Lai, you can be our partner!"

......

Beckman rested his forehead with one hand, and couldn't bear to look at the face of Sha Lai who had just closed the door and planned to have a serious discussion with them.

He knew that it was simply impossible for Shanks to follow the plan and stay in peace.No, strange ideas popped up again?

It's really his style to just open his mouth and invite people to join him.However, although the origin of Sha Lai is unknown, judging from her attitude towards Kate Kevin in Shampoo, she is indeed a pretty good person.And more importantly, this little girl has many interesting mysteries, which fits their captain's recruitment criteria very well.

Thinking of the troubles that Shanks would cause every time he recruited people into the gang, Beckman rubbed his temples with his thumb.

He raised his eyes to look at Shalai, who had put away his smile and stared at Shanks obviously with suppressed emotions, and rubbed his temples again.What's more troublesome is that the person Shanks wants to recruit this time is the most reluctant and smartest person he has ever met. In the next two days, some troubles will arise.

"Mr. Red-haired Shanks, thank you for your great love for me, but I personally have no idea of ​​joining any pirate group. If you have a big opinion on this matter, we can break up, anyway, now Enter the main hall of the palace, with your strength, you can move freely according to your own ideas."

Tsk tsk tsk, the honorific words have come out, it seems that the little girl is very angry.

Beckman glanced at Shanks, who obviously felt indigestion from this passage, and had a toothache expression on his face, and chuckled inwardly.

Based on his understanding of Shanks, what he is least good at is dealing with such literary things.It's all right now, Sha Lai's attitude is obviously not something that can be solved by a fight.He wants to see, this guy Shanks...

"Don't be like this, Shalai, the sea is very interesting. Uh--, I see, don't open the door! I won't force you to ask for an answer. But you should think about it carefully, my invitation is always valid .”

Sure enough, he kicked the iron plate? It's really useless to mess around in front of Shalai.

but...

Looking at Shanks who was seriously sending out the invitation, Beckman hooked the corners of his lips. The people their captain identified are now members of the Red Hair Pirates.After all, although their captain is usually careless, he has an indescribable charm when he encounters serious business, which makes people want to follow that reliable figure.

I don't know how to love her——

"Well, I will. Now that the gossip is over, let's get down to business."

——Well, it seems that there will be no willingness to join for the time being.

Seeing that the smile was restored, as if nothing had happened, Beckman raised his eyebrows as he greeted the two of them from the past.

Comparing the personal invitation of the captain of a major force at sea to gossip, you can still maintain a normal mind and discuss serious matters with the other party after rejecting it.With such courage and courage at this age, the future will indeed not be a caged object.

Thinking about it this way, if he can really successfully deceive people, ah no, invite him on board, he will be able to have a powerful helper in dealing with paperwork in the future. With Shalai's ability, this kind of thing will definitely be cleared up .

Thinking that he could be freed from the room full of various documents, Beckman also looked at Sha Lai with a tinge of enthusiasm.

And under the eager eyes of the two big pirates, Shalai shivered inexplicably on the hot and humid night of Ximirip, a summer island.
