Chapter 238 - 238 - Luffy's Challenge
Shanks is a good person. There is no doubt about this. Will thinks that he is probably... also a good citizen of noble character, but he was forced to fall into the wrong hands.
Now that the rivalry is temporarily lost, the tense atmosphere between the two disappears, and no one mentions the embarrassing conversation at Marineford and the punch, and that thunder...
Among the four Emperors, Shanks was the only one who was easy to talk to, probably, maybe so.
"Hahahahaha! That's right, I am one of the Four Emperors - 'Redhead' Shanks, bring more wine!"
"What an understanding girl, if it was ten years ago I would have been desperate to pursue you, hahaha...."
Well, it really is an illusion!
No wonder you chose Luffy as your successor, you've got a lot of nerve, and don't think I don't know that you've already had an accident with the lovely Makino in the windmill village of the East Blue Sea, and two years later you even had a baby!
Will locked Shanks in with a strange gaze as if he had seen through his rogue nature.
When the Avenger finally caught up with him, the ship's stock of wine had almost been consumed by this bastard.
"A ship is catching up to us! Alert!"
The members of the Whitebeard Bandits, enveloped by a depressing atmosphere, quickly picked up their weapons and stared at the visitors with deadly fury.
However, when Will and Shanks carried Whitebeard's bruised body to the deck of the Moby Dick, everyone's eyes turned red!
"Pops!!!"
Weapons clanked and fell across the deck, and many people couldn't help but cry out, not because they weren't man enough or iron-blooded enough, but because 'Pops', whom they regarded as their family and father, had left them forever.
Whitebeard corpse they couldn't get back was now returned by Will and Shanks to make everyone incredibly grateful!
"Thank you!"
Marco, who was temporarily in charge of the Whitebeard Pirates, said with red eyes, very seriously.
Although Shanks had stopped them from taking revenge for Whitebeard, their father, he had saved them all by thinking the other way.
After calming down, the little bit of anger they had towards Shanks disappeared.
Bang!
Kneeling in front of Whitebeard's corpse, Ace slammed his fist on the deck with his head down and his teeth gritted, and no one could be more remorseful or regretful than he was for what had happened!
Because of his 'capriciousness', so many of his brothers stayed in Marineford forever to save him, and even 'Pops', whom he admired the most, also took his last breath in that place because of him. ...
If he had to choose again, he'd rather die like that, and he'd rather Pops not come to save him!
"All right, Ace! Pull yourself together!"
"Even though the old man is no longer with us, each of us still carries his name on our bodies.
As long as we are still here, the Whitebeard Pirates will not disappear, and it is up to us to work together to accomplish what the old man failed to do!"
Marco's words cheered everyone up.
"Exactly! We'll make Pop's name famous again on this sea!"
"The time named Whitebeard will never become a past!"
Even the outsider Will was a bit infected, but unfortunately, without whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirates have become the 'fat meat' in the eyes of countless Pirates.
43 New World Pirates Group, a total of tens of thousands of Pirates fell apart in no time, leaving only 16 teams led by the 15 commanders and they still got wiped out by the retarded idiot who called himself Whitebeard II in the story.
But the good news is that Blackbeard's Pirates, who defeated Marco and the others, have been destroyed by Will, and even if Whitebeard II comes to them this time, their ending wouldn't be the same as in the story.
Not in a hurry to leave, Will and Shanks both decided to attend Whitebeard's funeral, a great man to be admired, no less than Roger!
Soon, the red-haired Pirates ship followed, and they decided to find a beautiful island to bury Whitebeard there.
Because Will killed Teach and also snatched Whitebeard's body from Marineford and brought it here, the entire Whitebeard Pirates were grateful to him and respected him!
Not to mention that he also forcefully killed Admiral Akainu under the pressure of the Navy and Shanks, which alone was enough to make people admire him for his courage.
So Will instantly became a friend to all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, and if this wasn't an inappropriate time, they would have dragged Will to a cocktail party!
In contrast, Shanks, who really saved their lives, only received their understanding, not enthusiasm.
Even Jinbei, who had always regarded him as an enemy, apologized solemnly to Will with a bandage.
If he had fallen into trouble with the White Beard Pirates during the war at the top, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But Will didn't care about those. He was just harvesting the devil's fruit and reputation according to the plan. And everything was accidentally inserted.
The only thing he really did for the Whitebeard Pirates was bring back Whitebeard's corpse.
This way, when he uses the power of the Quake Fruit later on, even if Marco and the others are suspicious, they won't bother him because of what he's done.
After all, he had a good impression of the Whitebeard Pirates, and when the day came to meet them, it would be best if they were friends rather than enemies.
In the evening.
Luffy, who he met for the second time, was now competing with Bonney for food. One was the big stomach king and the other big stomach girl. No one wants to lose. There were people waiting next to them. Every time they saw the two of them were about to choke to death, there were people passing a large glass of beer, the two of them were heartless when it came to food and it also finally diminished the sadness and heavy atmosphere.
After they had had enough, Luffy, who couldn't hold back, finally came to them.
"Hey, let's fight again! I'm not going to lose to you again like last time!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then some of them laughed out loud, while others immediately spoke out and urged him not to die.
Everyone already knew about Luffy and Ace's brotherhood, and Luffy's desperate attempts to save Ace in the War Of Top had gained everyone's approval.
But their recognition is not in terms of strength.
The terrifying strength of 'Faceless' Will is obvious to all, and it would be a ghost if Luffy could beat him!
However, Luffy was thinking that he, as a rubber man, wasn't afraid of electricity, so he had to win this time!
emmmm... Who says that Luffy is stupid, even such profound knowledge that rubber does not conduct electricity, only a fool wouldn't know it!
Well, Luffy might have really thought about it a bit too much.
Will laughed and then drank all the beer in his hand, "Yes, but do you still remember the promise we made."
Shanks and the others immediately raised their eyebrows at the words, it doesn't sound like they were meeting for the first time.
Now it gets even more interesting!
