Chapter 571: Fegalando Sosia
After hearing what Jiger said, before Rockstar could respond, Shanks shouted,
"Hey, hey, hey, brother, my pirate group hasn't disbanded yet, you are trying to poach people right in front of me!"
Zigg glanced at Shanks without saying anything, with an expression that said "what's the matter?"
Shanks immediately wilted and laughed awkwardly.
"But when I think about it, what my brother said is really a good place. Rockstar is a bachelor, so he should find something to do!"
Rockstar blinked and looked at Shanks inquiringly. Shanks coughed a few times, crossed his arms and said,
"Lockstar, it's up to you to decide what path you want to take from now on. You don't have to worry about my feelings."
Jiger was a little speechless watching Shanks pretending to be cool, but Rockstar suddenly said,
"Boss, I just want to ask, if the pirate group disbands, will there be severance pay?"
"puff!"
Shanks couldn't hold it in and spat out a large mouthful of saliva. Rockstar wiped his face with an innocent look and looked at Shanks with a resentful expression.
"Hahahaha!"
The other members of the Red Hair Pirates burst into laughter. Lakiru even choked with laughter and beat his chest. Even Ziger shook his head with laughter.
Buggy, who had been feeling frustrated for a long time, finally found an outlet. He floated to Shanks, put his face close to his ear, and said in a mean way,
"Hey Shanks, if I ever open a circus, I'll definitely invite you to play the clown. Then the title of King of Clowns will be yours!"
"......"
Shanks pushed Buggy's face away with disgust, then glared at Rockstar with an expression as if he wanted to eat him.
Rockstar was very shrewd and went straight to Zig. This scene made Shanks very heartbroken. Once upon a time, Rockstar was the one who listened to him the most on the ship, but now he turned to Zig at the speed of light.
Jig turned his head and glanced at Rockstar. Although what Rockstar said just now seemed a bit heartless and snobbish, Jig noticed the sadness hidden in his eyes.
The Red Hair Pirates have the smallest number of members among the Four Emperors' groups, but they have the best atmosphere. The members on the ship have deep feelings for the pirate group and Captain Shanks. Now that the pirate group is about to disband, how could anyone not care?
To put it bluntly, Rockstar's words just now were just to ease everyone's inner sadness.
Although Rockstar looks rough on the outside, he is actually very delicate on the inside.
Jiger naturally wouldn't point it out, the sadness of parting is always inevitable.
He just smiled and tapped Shanks's forehead with his finger and said,
"You're already a father, but you're still so unruly."
When Shanks mentioned this, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose uncontrollably. He looked towards the sea and said,
"I really want to see her right now, my Sosia..."
Sosia is naturally the name of Shanks' daughter, Figalando Sosia.
Jiger shook the wine bottle in his hand and chuckled.
"You'll see her soon. I also want to meet my niece, but don't forget Uta."
"Of course not. In my heart, Uta is also my daughter. I failed to give her the companionship she deserved when she was little. I must make it up to her in the future."
"Well, it's good that you know this. I've asked Kalifa to send the mother and daughter to Marijoa. The old man is more anxious to see his granddaughter than you, as a father."
Thinking of this, Jiger couldn't help laughing. Who could have imagined that when Jialin Sheng, who was always known for his seriousness, heard the news of the birth of his granddaughter, the expression on his face would be so wonderful. He looked like he couldn't wait to run to the East China Sea.
But in the end he was dissuaded by Jiger. To be honest, with Jialin's identity, if he suddenly went to the East China Sea, it would really scare the people there.
Garen is not Shanks. His intimidating aura can easily scare people.
Zigg talked to Shanks about Garin's performance. Shanks felt warmed after hearing it, and the image of Garin in his mind became "kind".
At least this father whom Shanks had never met was still very humane. Before this, the image of Garin in Shanks' mind was still rather cold and ruthless.
Shanks clinked the wine flask with Jiger and said softly,
"Brother, thanks to you for taking care of Makino and Sosia, mother and daughter, otherwise I would really be worried."
"What bullshit are you talking about? One of them is my sister-in-law and the other is my niece. If I don't take care of them, who will? Do you want a weirdo like you to come here?"
"...Brother, I promise that I will be a good father in the future and at least give Sosia a complete childhood!"
"That depends on your performance. After being a street kid on the sea for so many years, you should finally settle down. Everyone must have a destination in life."
"A home..."
A trace of confusion appeared in Shanks' eyes. The word "home" was so unfamiliar to him who had been wandering on the sea for half his life. But soon, he began to look forward to it. The image of him holding Sosia up high appeared in his mind.
But Sosia was still vague in his mind. After all, as a father, he had never seen his daughter.
Thinking of this, Shanks scratched his head and asked in a low voice,
"Brother, have you seen Sosia? I can't wait to see what she looks like..."
Jiger rolled his eyes at Shanks, then took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Shanks, saying,
"Look for yourself. This was sent by Khalifa from the East China Sea not long ago."
Shanks quickly took the photo with both hands, looking as if he had found a treasure, and started looking at the photo.
In the photo, Machino, who is already a mother, is smiling and making a scissors hand gesture. In her arms is a cute baby girl with fair skin and a layer of blonde hair. The baby girl is smiling brightly, giving people the feeling of a warm sunshine in spring.
When Shanks saw his daughter in the photo, the corners of his mouth almost broke to his ears. He had a perverted smile on his face. He picked up the photo and kissed it hard. After the kiss, he wiped the photo with his hands again and again, and finally put the photo carefully in his arms.
Seeing this, Jiger couldn't help but tease,
"Hey, you just took it away like that?"
Shanks chuckled, covered his chest tightly with one hand, and said,
"Brother, just give me this photo. I'm going to rely on it for the next few days!"
