The current colonel of Rogge Town is a naval officer who once followed Allen.

After he arranged for his men to call the Navy headquarters to report the situation, he took the people to the dock.

After arriving at the pier, you can already see a pirate ship docked on the pier. The first one is a red-haired young man wearing a straw hat who falls off the ship. After him, there are pirates with powerful momentum.

Whoosh!

Without the colonel's command, the navy soldiers who had been prepared pointed their guns at Shanks and others, but there was no order and no one opened fire.

The naval soldiers in Rogge Town are basically the elite of the headquarters. Their strength is much stronger than that of other branch bases in the East China Sea. The most important thing is their spirit.

Because some of them have followed Eren and have followed Eren's military training philosophy since then. They have seen blood many times. Even if they lose to Shanks and others, they cannot lose the face of the navy.

Shanks and others are no longer afraid of the navy. Any pirate with a bounty of over 100 million has fought against many navies, let alone a big pirate with a bounty of over 1 billion. Shanks and the others have also encountered many obstacles along the way.

Got chased by the navy many times.

They even had a direct battle with the warship led by Akainu, and after roughly a draw, they evacuated safely.

The quality of the navy in Rogge Town surprised them, but they were not shocked.

On the contrary, he acted as relaxed as ever.

"Shanks, what brings you to Rogge Town? Pirates are not welcome here!" The colonel stepped out of the crowd and stood at the front, facing Shanks. The group of people looked stern and showed no fear.

"Well, Navy Commander, don't be too nervous. We don't have any ill intentions. We just need to make some repairs here, buy some supplies, and pay homage to Captain Roger, the Pirate King." Shanks said kindly, "As long as you

If you don't take action against us, our people will exercise restraint."

The calmer Shanks behaves, the less threatening the navy is to them.

In fact, this is also true. As a pirate group currently second only to the three pirate emperors of the New World, they have the power to easily destroy a country. Not to mention a branch base in the East China Sea, even the branch fortress located on the Grand Route, there are not many

One can fight against them.

This is a gap in absolute strength.

The colonel showed a dangerous look: "What if I arrest you?"

Shanks and others stopped together, and their eyes became sharp: "Colonel, I don't think you will make such an unwise move. You should know that your strength is much worse than ours. If you do it,

I will not exercise restraint, and when casualties occur, things will become very troublesome."

"Hey, boss, don't talk nonsense with him, just defeat these navy, so we don't have to worry about what we want to do." Lackey Lu smiled, looking honest.

But the colonel knew that this was a guy with a bounty of hundreds of millions, and he had no chance of winning against him alone.

"It is my duty to protect Rogge Town from pirates. Since I have assumed this responsibility, I must be aware of it." The colonel still did not get out of the way. "As the commander of the Rogge Town branch base, I have the responsibility to

It is your duty and responsibility to protect this place. Pirate Shanks, if you want to set foot in Rogge Town, you will never be able to defeat me."

"Colonel! This is not your problem alone, it is the responsibility of our entire navy."

As a navy, of course, it is impossible for the commander to carry it alone. Isn't it the case that he is facing a big pirate? It's just a matter of death. Many sailors clenched their guns again and aimed at Shanks and others.

The atmosphere became tense. There were no civilians around, and it seemed that the battle was about to break out.

If the battle started, Shanks, as a pirate, would not resist, and the end result would be heavy casualties for the navy. This was something that many people could predict.

Shanks and others inevitably confront the navy, and even have plans to take action. Although these navy in the East China Sea have a good will, the battle will ultimately depend on their strength. Without strength, they cannot win with their will alone.

"Then...are you ready to pay the price after the battle?" Shanks grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist. Once they fight, he will become a real enemy. He will not let the navy attack.

The air became stagnant.

The tense atmosphere made the airflow here at the dock seem to have stopped. As long as a spark falls, a violent explosion will inevitably occur.

It was at this time that the phone bug carried by the navy captain rang.

Brubru...brubru...

The colonel was shocked. The only one who could call him at this time was the headquarters, but in this situation.

After struggling for a while, the colonel finally took out the phone from his pocket and connected directly: "This is the colonel of the Donghailuoge Town branch base, Montelu."

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm Allen."

Snapped!

Stand at attention and salute: "General Allen! Please give instructions."

"You're giving instructions. I knew you were going to be reckless again." The other end of the phone bug scolded him rudely, "If nothing unexpected happens, that guy Shanks should be right across from you, knocking off the phone bug.

To him, I want to talk to him."

Montelu didn't feel anything was wrong when he was scolded by the general. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would even miss the scolding and wish he could appreciate it carefully.

He looked at the frowning Shanks who was very close to him. Without any hesitation, he took the phone's speaker and pointed it in the direction of Shanks.

Shanks' expression was very subtle. When was the last time he saw Allen?

That was already a long time ago, and he didn't expect that after so many years, he could hear this guy's words again, as if they were still ringing in his ears.

"it's me."

"Shanks, you bastard, you are so courageous. You even dare to rob the World Government's things. You are so powerful. I am convinced of this."

The sea breeze mixed with the waves blew by, making the voice a little vague, but it was still clear, "I have two things to tell you. One is good news for you, and the other is bad news. Do you want to

Which one should I listen to?"

Shanks scratched his head. After many years, this cheap guy still seemed to be the same out-of-place person as before.

"I don't want to hear either."

"Tsk, it's true that people change. We used to be so close when we called you big brother, but now we are really alienated. Shanks, you are so powerful now that you don't even pay attention to me, a general. But

Considering that we haven't seen each other for a long time, I decided to forgive you and tell you the news for free.

The first good news is that I will come to you soon. Are you surprised or surprised? Hahaha, let’s talk about the bad news next. You must have read the news and know that Bucky is following me. This time

Of course, it is no exception, you will be able to see your dear friend soon.

Of course, considering that Bucky is here to catch you, this is naturally not good news. Let me tell you a secret, Bucky is looking forward to seeing you."

"Don't talk nonsense. I have no expectations. I wish that bastard would be caught soon. It would be even better if he could be caught by me, the commodore." Bucky's voice came from the phone bug, which made Shanks a little worried.

Astonished.

Before he could speak, Allen's voice sounded again: "Okay, the notification has been sent. Shanks, before I arrive, run as hard as you can. If I come to your door, maybe you will

You caught him and sent him to Impel Down.

And Montelu, anything related to the red-haired pirates has nothing to do with you. Whatever they want to do, let them do it. Just do your job and don't think about it.

What kind of bullshit consciousness is there? People cannot be resurrected after death. If it is a necessary sacrifice in battle, I will not tell you, but if it is not necessary, you have to think carefully about it yourself. Do you understand? "

Naturally, Montelu did not dare to talk back to his idol, the former senior officer, and the current naval admiral, nor did he dare to do anything that was both overt and overt.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately waved his hand: "Close the team, everyone else will go back with me to continue training. Leave a team behind to monitor these pirates. If they do anything excessive, they will tell me."

Wow!

A uniform voice sounded. The navy is different from pirates. As a violent organization, the navy must enforce orders and prohibitions.

Therefore, Colonel Montelu did not hesitate and chose to retreat. Although the remaining group of soldiers put down their guns, their eyes kept scanning Shanks and others, so blatantly

Monitor.

Shanks and others have long been immune to this kind of sight and don't care at all.

After the crowd dispersed, the red-haired pirates immediately burst into laughter.

"Boss, that was the Admiral just now. Did you ever call him Big Brother? We've stopped talking about his name a long time ago, but this is the first time I've heard him spoken to. He sounds really domineering."

"Hehehe, I don't feel domineering, but I think the boss has a very good relationship with the White Dragon General and the guy named Bucky."

"Hey, let me ask you, are you focusing on the wrong thing? The most important thing now is not these, but what the general said just now. It is obvious that he has targeted us and is still chasing us. Once he is

If we catch up, I don't think we will be able to escape." There is no way, because this general's past record is too strong.

They wouldn't have much psychological fluctuations when facing other naval forces, but facing this man, no one dared to say that their hearts were calm.

"I don't think we need to worry too much. Our whereabouts have not been exposed before. The only time was a supply trip before crossing the windless zone. Even if the admiral wanted to find us, he would have to cross the windless zone.

That’s it, we’ll have disappeared by then.”

Shanks put his hand on the straw hat on his head and grinned: "It's not like we haven't fought against generals before. Even if General White Dragon is called the strongest among the four generals, he may not be able to do anything to us.

.Let’s go, do whatever you have to do, I’m going to pay homage to Captain Roger.”

The road leading from the port pier to the mainland where Roger was executed is wide, clean and straight. The only thing Shanks regrets is that the shop where he once bought flowers has disappeared, and he has no trace of the gentle man.

Where has the boss lady gone?

After randomly looking for a flower shop and buying a bouquet of flowers, Shanks came to the execution platform that was still standing in the middle of the square.

Putting the flowers aside, Shanks looked up towards the high platform. There seemed to be a kneeling figure looking at him, and the words he had said echoed in his mind.

"Do you want my treasure? If you want it, I'll give it all to you. Go find it. I've put everything in the world there."

Shanks lowered his head and pressed his straw hat, which represented Roger's will, and murmured to himself: "Captain, did you really leave everything there? Who are you waiting for to reveal this mystery?"
