Shanks pressed down his straw hat and quickly disappeared into the crowd before the soldiers chased him.

A few days later.

In a remote location in Rogge Town, a wooden boat sailed out from the coast and slowly moved towards the depths of the sea.

On the boat is Shanks wearing a straw hat.

At the front of this one-man boat, there was a wooden stick standing upright, with a black cloth tied to the top. On the black cloth was a crookedly painted soul portrait with no specific mark.

If you look carefully, you can still see the shape of a skull... I guess so.

As for Shanks, he was holding the oar with both hands, his famous sword [Griffin] lying at his feet, and next to him was a cloth bag full of gifts and food.

Starting with a small boat, at least Shanks felt that his conditions were much better than Captain Roger. If Captain Roger hadn't met Rayleigh soon after he went to sea, he wouldn't even have a boat.

How can you be called a pirate captain without a ship?

Shanks is very optimistic. At least he is now a pirate captain. Although he still doesn’t have a younger brother, and that bastard Bucky is unwilling to go to sea with him, otherwise he can let Bucky be his second-in-command.

captain.

Moreover, Bucky still has money and can buy a better boat.

Shanks quickly put these thoughts aside. The vast sea didn't know when he would see Bucky next, but he would have a new companion soon.

That should be a companion who is more powerful than Bucky. I heard that he is a sharpshooter and can be a sniper on his own ship.

Thinking like this, Shanks became very motivated and made the boat slide very fast. He couldn't wait to have his first partner.

At the head of Xiluobu Village, a young man with brown curly hair was sitting on the shore, looking at the sea in the distance with longing in his eyes.

He yearns for the outside world and wants to become a pirate and sail freely in this world.

However, it is not that simple to go to sea, especially when his son was just born.

The conflict between dreams and reality made him feel very depressed, so he often came to this place to sit, hoping to relieve his depressed mood.

At this moment, a dilapidated boat appeared in his sight, as well as a young man who looked a little embarrassed on the boat.

This island usually rarely sees outsiders. I don’t know if this young man got lost on the sea or came here by chance after being in trouble.

The ship was getting closer and closer, and the man saw the scene on the ship. He had very good eyesight, much better than the average person. It can be said that he was gifted.

The black strip of cloth on the wooden stick on the bow and the things painted on it almost made the man laugh out loud.

The young man in the straw hat obviously saw it too. He rowed the boat straight to his location. When he arrived, he grinned, showing a very favorable smile.

"Hey, uncle, is this Xiluobu Village?"

"Asshole, who did you call uncle!" The man became furious and pointed at his face and said, "I'm only in my twenties. I'm just a little dark and look a bit old, but you actually called me uncle."

"Ah? Is that so?" Shanks scratched his head in embarrassment, "Sorry, I shouldn't call you uncle. My name is Shanks. I want to find a young man named Jesus Bu from Xiluobu Village. His

His marksmanship is very good. I heard he is a sharpshooter. Is this Xiluobu Village?"

"Yes, this is Xiluobu Village, and there is indeed a man named Jesus Bu, but why are you looking for him?" the man asked.

Shanks clapped his hands happily. Fortunately, he was not looking for the wrong place. If he couldn't find it again, the ship under his feet would fall apart.

He grinned and said: "I am a pirate captain, and I want to invite Jesus Bu to be my partner and go to sea with me."

"Pirate Captain? Just you?" The man was shocked.

Looking at Shanks in front of him in disbelief, do you think that the ship under your feet, which is too small even for fishing, is a pirate ship?

Shanks is not angry at being underestimated. He knows that he is indeed a bit different from other pirate captains now, but Shanks believes that he will soon own a big ship and have more partners soon.

.

Shanks has never worried about these problems, even without Bucky's money...

"You haven't told me where Jesus is?"

"I am Jesus Bu." The man said, "If there is no second person named Jesus Bu in Xiluobu Village, then I should be the one you are looking for."

"Huh?" Shanks was a little stunned. He didn't expect that he would go so smoothly and find Jesus Bu just after arriving here. "I heard that your marksmanship is very good and you are a sharpshooter."

Jesus looked proud: "It's hard to say what a sharpshooter is, but I'm definitely more accurate in shooting."

"That's right, I'm looking for you. I am Shanks, and now I officially invite you to join my pirate group and become my first partner." Shanks said seriously.

Jesus Bu: "..."

Although I want to be a pirate, I can't be so shabby, right?

Is this guy named Shanks a fool?

…

…

When Shanks missed Bucky, he didn't know that Bucky was already living in dire straits.

At least that's what Bucky thinks.

If it were possible, Bucky would definitely not seek out Allen to become a marine. If not, he would never choose to join the recruit camp. This is simply not what a human would do.

"Xiusuo, Bucky, you two come out."

"yes."

Following Allen's order, neither of them dared to delay at all, and stood opposite each other after walking out of the queue.

Now is the actual practice of pair-wise confrontation. The two of them are currently at the top of the list in all aspects of the recruit camp, and they will be joined by Rosinandi.

Others are a little behind, including the little white-haired Smog and Tina. After all, they are still a few years younger and naturally have talents, but the physical gap cannot be temporarily equaled by this talent.

On the contrary, it was Bucky who gave Allen a lot of surprises. This guy who originally didn't like training at all does the same now, but in the recruit camp, everything is out of his control. He doesn't want to train?

No problem, just a beating will be enough. If one beating doesn't work, give him a few more. Anyway, Bucky is the one who receives the most punishment in the entire recruit camp.

This little blue-haired boy with a red nose actually has quite a lot of talent, and with his Devil Fruit ability, it can be said that it is normal to achieve outstanding results in the recruit camp.

Especially in terms of swordsmanship, it can be said that no one can defeat Bucky in swordsmanship yet. His ability is truly a swordsman nemesis.

But Shuzuo is different, he is not good at swordsmanship, he is good at physical skills.

And this happened to restrain Bucky's ability.

"From now on, for half an hour of actual combat, you can attack the opponent in any way until one side achieves a complete victory. As for the determination of victory, everything is based on what I said. You cannot admit defeat before I allow it to stop. Understand

Is it done yet?”

"Understood, Lieutenant General!" Xiu Zuo responded loudly.

"I understand." Bucky replied weakly.

He suspected that Allen was specifically targeting him. No, there was no need to doubt that this was targeting him in itself.

After a long period of running-in, everyone in the entire recruit camp has long been familiar with them. Among the hundreds of people, they are the ones who stand out the most.

In this regard, the strongest one is Rosinandi, followed by Baki and Shuzo.

Although Shuzuo has no fruit abilities, he has a strong talent in physical arts. He is also the fastest to master the six moves. In just a few months, he completely mastered the iron block and finger gun.

Allen doesn't care what Bucky thinks. To be fair, Bucky is the only guy in the entire recruit camp who needs to be driven behind with a whip to know how to work hard.

Others here want to risk their lives during training, especially Smoker, who also needs to be careful not to overtrain at all times. Only Bucky, if he is not careful, he will be lazy in any way he can think of.

.

Urinary escape is the most common reason. Anyway, it is only unexpected, there is nothing he can't do.

"Others will complete their training as originally planned. You two, let's get started."

As Allen's order was given, Xiuzuo rushed towards Bucky without any pause at all. The advantage of the long-hand clan was fully brought into play by him, and his arms turned into shadows, like thick ones.

The whip kept hitting Bucky.

But now Bucky is no longer a vegetarian, and Shibei looked at him with admiration. He is no longer the red-nosed person he was before.

Having followed Roger on adventures for so many years, and even fought head-on with the Whitebeard Pirates, Bucky actually does not lack combat experience. He just didn't focus on fighting in the past.

Since entering the recruit camp, he still needs to complete various trainings even if he doesn't want to, and naturally there is no battle, which makes his current strength improve by leaps and bounds compared to before.

More importantly, in order to avoid being beaten less, he is the one in the entire recruit camp who is closest to mastering the Haki.

That's right, Bucky is now very close to mastering Haki.

Bucky dodged many of the fists coming from Shuzuo. If he couldn't avoid them, he blocked them with his fists and arms. The two of them fought back and forth for a while.

But the grinning expression on Bucky's face looked ferocious and funny, and that was because of pain. Bucky's body was not as strong as Shuzo's. When it came to taijutsu training, among so many people in the recruit camp, Bucky was at best

Ranked in the middle with good talent.

Looking at Xiu Zuo, his dark face was expressionless, and he was just continuing to attack very seriously.

finally.

His fist broke through Bucky's defense, and he hit Bucky's nose with one fist. His nose, which was originally a blow, became even redder, and there were two lines of blood flowing out from under the nose.

"Ouch~" Bucky screamed, covered his nose and rolled over, avoiding Xiu Zuo's next attack, "Xiu Zuo, you bastard, you dare to hit me in the nose, you are dead."

When Bucky stood up again, a fist suddenly flew out of his arm and hit Xiu Zuo's face like a cannonball.
