Chapter 611: The Great Pirate Era Ends (Part )
Shanks lowered his straw hat, feeling a little depressed.
That romantic era of pirates came to an end because of the appearance of a man.
The pirates were completely suppressed under the crushing force of Lynn's terrifying army.
Especially those ghost warriors, they are basically invincible!
(In recent years, the number of Onimusha has been expanded and even upgraded.)
It only took him three years!
Defeat those kingdoms and pirates at the same time and take over this world!
The Great Pirate Era is dead in name only!
It won’t be long before all the pirates in this world will be wiped out!
……
Shanks stood up in front of the tombstone and bowed to Roger's grave.
“Although the pirate era has ended, we who love the sea will continue to sail.
Farewell, Captain Roger!
I'll come see you next time.
I really miss the days when we lived and sailed on the sea together.
Everyone, Bucky, how are you doing now?"
After expressing his nostalgia for the past, Shanks looked at Roger's grave again, stood up and was about to leave.
He knew that he could no longer be a pirate.
If this continues, his companions and the Red Hair Pirates will be wiped out sooner or later.
This is the result of going against the current and fighting against the new era!
“Shanks?!
Are you Shanks?"
Just as Shanks turned to leave, a man called him, with uncontrollable excitement on his face and a bottle of white wine in his right hand.
"Mr. Ray...Mr. Rayleigh!"
Shanks looked up and saw Rayleigh walking towards him, with surprise and nostalgia flashing in his eyes.
"Hahaha, it turns out to be you. Are you here to see Roger too?"
Rayleigh came to Shanks with laughter.
Shanks smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to see you here. It seems that today is a good day."
Rayleigh laughed up to the sky: "Haha, huh."
Then, Rayleigh walked in front of Roger's screen.
He bit open the cap of the wine bottle with his teeth.
Shanks looked at the wine in Rayleigh's hand and smiled, "Mr. Rayleigh, is this white wine?
Very famous in the East China Sea. "
After Ray used his teeth to open the bottle cap, he slowly poured the liquor onto Roger’s tombstone: “Yes, but not entirely.
This wine of mine is not the white wine on the market.
Come on, Roger, try it. I usually don’t drink it.”
Rayleigh smiled with some heartache, then poured the white wine in his hand onto the tombstone.
When the wine was almost finished, he handed the remaining one third to Shanks.
Shanks took it, held it up curiously and examined it: "It doesn't seem to be any different."
However, when he took a sip, his eyes suddenly lit up: "This...this taste!
Delicious! "
"Yeah!" Rayleigh smiled.
The two then talked in front of Roger's grave.
After paying tribute to Roger, Rayleigh invited Shanks to go to town for a drink.
Rayleigh smiled and said, "How about it, Shanks? It's a rare opportunity to meet you today. Do you want to go for a drink?"
"Okay, just what I want."
Shanks grinned.
The two said goodbye to Roger and left.
Their backs gradually faded away in front of Roger's grave.
The sound of their conversation faded away.
"By the way, Mr. Rayleigh, what have you been doing these years?"
Rayleigh: "Haha, I've been doing pretty well these years. I concealed my identity, lived a retirement life in the Crimson Kingdom, and even got a sinecure."
Shanks was shocked: "Huh?! Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Rayleigh laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've disguised myself. No one recognizes me. After all, my hair has turned white and I'm wearing a new pair of glasses."
Shanks: “???!”
The corners of Shanks' mouth twitched. Although he didn't understand, he was greatly shocked.
Does this really count as faking?
Your identity wouldn't have been exposed long ago.
Shanks could only laugh dryly in agreement, "Ha...haha, really...congratulations then.
This kind of life is not bad.”
Mr. Reilly is indeed the same as before, not changed at all.
By the way, these powerful men of the old times all have some problems, including Captain Roger...
This left Shanks speechless.
Shanks also has a problem. When he encounters something urgent, he becomes like an idiot...
Rayleigh: “Haha, yeah.”
The two chatted as they headed towards Rogue Town.
……
In the town of Rogge.
"Everyone, hurry up, we heard there's a circus coming over there!"
Pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, running on the street, passing by Shanks Rayleigh.
Shanks: "A circus? That's really rare."
Rayleigh looked at the direction where the passers-by were running and chuckled, "Let's go and see the excitement."
Shanks nodded: "Yeah"
Then the two followed the crowd to where the circus was performing.
The scenery on the scene is colorful.
On the stage.
Amid the crowd.
On a long table, there lay a man dressed as a clown.
"Ship... ahem, Captain, I'm going to chop it down!"
One of the minions raised the machete in his hand.
"Cut it."
The clown on the stage said lightly, looking leisurely.
"Ok!"
The minions on the stage raised their swords high and were about to chop down.
The audience's faces changed, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads: "Hey, are you really going to chop it down? It's too dangerous!"
Sure enough, under everyone's tense gaze, the minion slashed the clown's waist with a heavy knife at lightning speed.
Suddenly, the clown's body was cut into two pieces.
He died completely as a result, and it looked like his soul was coming out of his mouth.
“Ahhhhh, someone’s dead!”
The audience covered their cheeks in horror.
At this moment, something strange happened. The clown's body squirmed and actually came together on its own!
"I'm alive!"
The clown jumped high into the air, his limbs spread out, with an exaggerated and funny expression on his face.
"Ah! He's really resurrected!
Amazing! "
The clown's actions shocked the audience so much that their tongues jumped out of their mouths.
"What's going on? He should have been dead just now."
The audience's foreheads were covered with sweat, and they were completely puzzled.
At this moment, the swordsman Kabaji passed by the audience on a unicycle.
"If the performance is good, those who have money can pay to support it..."
Amid Kabbage's energetic shouting, the audience took out money one after another and threw it into the big bowl in Kabbage's hand.
Because there were so many people, the big bowl was almost full soon.
"Great!"
Kabaji said happily.
Bucky, who was on the stage, was very satisfied when he saw that he had made so much money in one go.
"Bucky!"
A scream came out of Shanks' mouth.
Shanks recognized the clown's identity, spread his legs, opened his mouth wide, pointed at him and shouted, looking funny.
"ha?!
Shanks!
Bucky's eyes popped out of their sockets in shock.
"Bucky?
If you look closely, that red nose really looks familiar!"
Rayleigh slapped his palm with his fist, looking as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Who are you calling Red Nose!
Ray...Rayleigh...hmm."
Bucky quickly covered his mouth.
Then he jumped down to the stage and ran in front of the two of them.
He lowered his voice and said:
"Hey, Shanks, you bastard, why are you here with Mr. Rayleigh?!"
Shanks grinned, “Well, it’s a long story.
But it's really good to see you again."
"What's the point of saying this now!"
Buggy roared at Shanks with his mouth wide open, not giving him any face at all.
"Hahaha, today is indeed a good day. I didn't expect to see you here.
Come on, let's go have a drink together, it's my treat!"
Rayleigh generously stretched out his arms and hugged Shanks and Buggy respectively, then left with a laugh.
"Hey, Kabaji, I'll leave this to you!"
Bucky yelled over his shoulder.
Kabaji: “Yes, Captain!”
Then the show continued.
It seems that the end of the pirate era caused Buggy, who was not yet famous, to change his career halfway.
It can also be seen that he is very afraid of death.
The two walked into a tavern with Rayleigh's arm around their shoulders.
"jingle!"
"Welcome, all three."
Rayleigh: "Hahaha, give us a glass of your best wine."
Boss: “Okay.”
Then Rayleigh took Buggy and Shanks to a table with few people around and sat down.
After the boss served the wine, they started chatting.
"Hey, Mr. Rayleigh, why are you here?
And you, you bastard who made me a landlubber!"
Buggy gritted his teeth as he looked at Shanks.
But this was just an excuse. What he hated was that Shanks gave up the promise to pursue the great treasure with him.
"Bucky, you're still the same as before." Shanks didn't care and smiled.
"Ha, what did you say!"
Listening to the two people's quarrel, Rayleigh also laughed: "It seems like I'm back to the days on the boat. I miss this feeling so much."
Rayleigh: "Cheers!"
"cheers!"
The three people's wine glasses suddenly collided with each other.
There was a burst of laughter and noise from the pub.
After the excitement, Shanks said in a depressed tone: "The Great Pirate Era is over."
He could no longer use the pirate flag to continue sailing on this sea.
Buggy: "Humph, there's nothing we can do about it. Who allowed such a scary man to appear in this ocean?
He alone influenced an era, just like Captain Roger did back then..."
Rayleigh: "However, if the times change, the opening of the great secret treasure may change."
Shanks nodded.
Bucky looked puzzled: "Is the opening of the great secret treasure related to the changes of the times?"
Rayleigh: “Actually, now is not the time to go looking for the great treasure, it’s too early.
Besides, what I just said was just a casual remark, and there may be some new changes in the future."
“Let’s not talk about this anymore, this is all in the future.
The three of us finally get together, let's have a drink together." Rayleigh said with a smile.
Moreover, the times have changed. There is no need for people to actually open the great secret treasure anymore.
"Oh, cheers!"
The three people's glasses clinked together again, celebrating their reunion today.
