In pursuit of red hair, I become the strongest in the world

"Shanks, what are you doing here?"

Bingshan's tone was flat.

"Ask you to borrow someone and show me the way."

Shanks was not polite and spoke directly.

"Guide the way?"

Bingshan is a little strange. This guy doesn't come to the capital of seven waters many times, but after all these years, he has added up a few times. Is there any place that I don't know?

"It's your tavern."

Shanks explained.

Hearing what he said, Bingshan suddenly remembered that the tavern here seemed to have been moved or replaced, um, he couldn't remember.

Kalifa pushed the glasses, the tacit understanding developed over the years allowed her to immediately see what Bingshan was thinking, and opened her mouth,

"We originally had a tavern here, but it has been closed two years ago because its owner left the capital of seven waters. Recently, a new tavern has just moved from another place and opened. Mr. Shanks is right. This is it."

Bingshan nodded, as if he knew it a long time ago.

In fact, although Khalifa told him about this matter, he was obsessed with the hull structure at that time, and one ear went in and the other ear went out, so he had long forgotten.

"Are you going now?"

"No, we'll go at night."

After Shanks and Bingshan had a good talk, Lin Li began to question Kalifa,

"Ms. Khalifa, Morris and their residence should be arranged by you, right?"

Kalifa, dressed in elite clothes, pushed her eyes on the bridge of her nose, nodded,

"Mr. Lin Li, your crew bought a lot of items from us before. As a discount, Carrera will provide your Charui Pirates with free accommodation for a period of time."

"If you need, I can send someone to take you to the corresponding place now."

"Then trouble you."

——Every time I get along with Kalifa, I can't help feeling that the members of the cp9 organization are really versatile!

Lin Li was a little envious of Bingshan.

"Please wait."

After Kalifa took out the phone bug to connect with the person, she briefly explained a few words and hung up the phone.

"In about 5 minutes, someone will come to pick you up."

"In that case, let's separate."

Lin Li turned to look at Shanks.

The redhead nodded and said with a smile,

"Then we'll see you at the tavern tonight!"

Lin Li nodded subconsciously, and then realized when she saw Shanks' handsome back turning away - she never said that she would go to the pub at night, hey!

According to their previous plan with Morris, they will go back to the Aubrey tonight to prepare for tomorrow morning.

But Shanks agreed.

Lin Li struggled for a second, looked at the red-haired figure leaving, and didn't say a word of regret.

——Forget it, I have agreed to it, so it’s not easy to backtrack.

——As long as she doesn't get too drunk at night, she shouldn't delay tomorrow's affairs.

Next, Lin Li followed Bingshan to visit the hull structure of his latest research before the people Kalifa asked came.

……

"Captain, don't drink too much."

Morris, who originally wanted to discuss things with his captain at night, learned that Lin Li let him go and went to "date" with Shanks, so he had no choice but to remind him.

Several other cadres who knew the situation winked at their captain one by one, and congratulated Lin Li on "rapid progress".

Lin Li ignored the teasing eyes of several people, and gave Morris a guilty answer before turning around and walking towards the tavern.

……

As soon as you enter the tavern, you will be greeted by a noisy and lively feeling.

Lin Li glanced, and saw Shanks and the red-haired cadres drinking in a corner of the tavern.

Judging from the smell of alcohol on everyone's body, these guys have drunk a lot by now.

The redhead was leaning on the counter, his body relaxed, giving people a lazy look. Just by looking at the blush on his face, one could tell that the captain was definitely the one who took the lead in drinking.

"Lin Li, here."

Shanks half-closed his eyes and lazily shouted.

Lin Li came to him and found a seat to sit down, and greeted the red-haired cadres by the way.

"Have a drink?"

As Shanks said, he took another cup in his hand and poured it full for her.

Originally wanted to explain that she can't get drunk now, Lin Li, who has something to do tomorrow, looked at Shanks' slightly lonely expression (the filter is too heavy), the rejection in her mouth suddenly stuck in her throat, and finally drank it in a daze liquor.

Morris: ...I knew it, the old father sighed.jpg

"Little guy Lin Li is really easy to deceive!"

Seeing this, Jesus sighed.

Beckman took a drag on his cigarette, shook his head,

"It's because he trusts the boss too much."

After chatting for a few more words, they stopped paying attention to Shanks and Lin Li, and went to drink separately.

"Lin Li,"

Shanks looked at Lin Li, who had been poured down a few more cups by him, and his consciousness became more unclear, and asked the question he had been curious about all day,

"How are you getting on with that Miss Shanks?"

At this moment, the red-haired face was full of gossip, not even the slightest hint of drunkenness.

""Shan...k...s"?"

Lin Li, who reacted a little slower, slowly repeated the three Chinese characters, and then looked at Shanks with a puzzled face, not understanding what he meant.

——She only knew a man named Shanks, not a woman with the same name.

Shanks looked back in the same daze.

——Is this kid so drunk that he doesn't even remember the person he likes?

Unwilling to give up, Shanks put his shoulders on Lin Li, shortened the distance between them, looked at Lin Li who was drunk, and re-described the problem,

"It's the lady you like, what's going on between you and her?"

Lin Li reacted for a while, caught the word "like", and then slowly refuted,

"He... no... is... lady."

Shanks almost ate the melon and crushed the cup.

--male? !

——This kid likes men? ! ! !

The other red-haired cadres who secretly listened to the problem of their boss cheating on the "little fans" almost choked on drinking, and nearly choked on eating meat. Only Beckman, who smoked, was better, but Just dropped the cigar.

Shanks silently removed his right arm from Lin Li's shoulder. With sharp ears, he certainly heard the sniggering of his crew, but he suddenly felt uncomfortable and didn't have time to pay attention to those gloating guys.

Although Shanks felt that he and the "Shanks" could not be the same person—not to mention the slight difference in the pronunciation of the name, Lin Li's attitude towards him was obviously an idol—but he suddenly learned that the "little fan" The person he likes is a man, and the name is so similar to him, which still makes the redhead feel uncomfortably uncomfortable.

"The boss is shy!"

Lackey took a bite of his flesh and said affirmatively.

The red-haired cadres burst into laughter.

Shanks looked over at death, but he really didn't have "dignity" as the captain, and this behavior made everyone laugh even more.

The red hair decided not to drink Lin Li wine anymore, he wanted to drink it alone.

Lin Li didn't care about other people's reactions, and slowly threw a bomb before him.After playing, he continued,

"He... said... and... I... are...friends."

Even though he was drunk, Shanks could still hear a little disappointment in his tone.

Although he has never been in a serious relationship, it does not prevent Shanks from thinking that Lin Li is not good at this.

It's been a few months. From Lin Li's words, we can know that the relationship between the two has only progressed to the level of friends. Isn't this impossible?

Lin Li, who was ignored, sat obediently beside Shanks without drinking, her lost figure looked a little pitiful.

"Go straight up, kid!"

Shanks drank a few glasses by himself, and finally couldn't help but make a suggestion to Lin Li.

Lin Li stayed for a while, then shook her head slowly.

With a tsk, the red-haired man ignored Lin Li's disappointment and went on drinking.

While drinking, suddenly, a familiar body temperature enveloped Shanks.

Shanks tensed up subconsciously, looked down, and found that Lin Li had closed her eyes and fell on top of him, apparently drunk and fell asleep.

——This kid, I really have no defense against him at all.

The redhead wanted to grind his teeth.

The others were also almost drunk - usually outside, the red hair and others would not be too drunk, so seeing this, they all suggested that Shanks take someone to rest.

"Boss, bring someone with you, or you can send Lin Li back to Charui by yourself."

Beckman said the same.

Charui’s captain, Lin Li, is easy to deceive (cross out) and talk to Shanks, but Maurice, who has a similar status to Beckman on the ship, is definitely a difficult character, and Shanks is not willing to deal with it. On—the most important reason is that he got drunk with the other captain, and Shanks felt somewhat guilty.

Anyway, there were still many guest rooms on their ship, Shanks simply carried Lin Li on his back, and returned to the Redforth with everyone.

On the way, the red-haired cadres winked at each other.

——Didn't you tell the boss that the guest rooms on our ship are being redecorated, so we can't live in them yet?

--you say?

——Hey, I won't say it, if you want to say it, you say it.

——Then I won't say anything.

……

"No room?"

Shanks was rarely surprised.

The red-haired cadres all left quickly without answering their boss's questions on the grounds that they had something to deal with and had to go back to their room now.

Shanks hesitated to speak but looked at the back of his crew leaving, and finally sighed helplessly.

After learning that the person Lin Li likes is a man, none of the red-haired cadres wanted to sleep with her.

It's not discrimination, it's just that after knowing this situation, it's no problem to get along with each other, but it's hard to sleep with Lin Li with a normal heart - you must know that there is only one bed in each person's room.

So tacitly betrayed his own captain.

Beckman is relatively older, close to 50 years old, and can be Lin Li's father, but he doesn't feel this way. Seeing Shanks' tangled look, he simply proposed,

"Then let me and Lin Li sleep together."

When Shanks heard what Beckman said, he felt a little sorry for Lin Li's trust in him because he cared about this aspect, so he shook his head,

"Forget it, let me come."

……

"boom!"

The door was violently pushed open, Shanks came to the bedside in the bedroom, and put Lin Li from behind... Hey, why can't she put it down?

The red-haired looked down at the strong arm wrapped around his waist, a little dumbfounded, does this kid still have the habit of sleeping with things in his arms?

You can't really let Lin Li hug him to sleep all night.

With a little effort, Shanks pulled the man off his body and threw him on the bed.

This change caused Lin Li in her sleep to open her eyes in a daze, glanced at the red hair in front of her, and fell asleep again.

——This kid can really sleep!

Shanks took off his cloak and white shirt, and lay down on the bed with his upper body bare. He threw away his shoes when he entered the bedroom.

As for Lin Li's clothes, he is not Beckman, he likes to take care of people (Beckman:???), how could he clean up for Lin Li.

after an hour.

Shanks, who couldn't sleep, looked at Lin Li, who was sleeping soundly beside him, feeling a little upset.

Therefore, the "kind" Shanks planned to help Lin Li take off the extra clothes on her body, so that the quality of sleep would be better.

As for whether Lin Li will be woken up halfway, how would Shanks know?

The author has something to say:

Sometimes it's really frustrating to watch other people sleep soundly and not be able to fall asleep.
