Chapter 1889 The Double Kings of the Adventurer Association!
Heaven! Dragon! Man!
The moment these three words entered Ikoma and Frame's ears, their minds exploded.
"Ikoma!"
"Carter Frame!"
"Greetings to Lord Shanks!!"
The two of them said in unison and were about to kneel down.
They are both young and mature, and Ikoma has a wife and daughter.
Frame did not encounter 'that tragedy' and became Franky in the 'original timeline'.
So at this time, I won’t act impulsively and consider dignity issues.
But before they could kneel down, they were wrapped around their waists by the tentacles extended by the eight-tailed ox-demon.
"Shanks doesn't like others kneeling down to him."
"well done!"
Shanks immediately praised him, then smiled at the two of them:
"You are Bucky's friends, and you are also my friends. Don't do this kind of thing again."
Bucky curled his lips when he heard this: "Tch, you look like you know me very well. Don't forget, the person I hated the most at that time was you!"
Shanks shook his head helplessly: "Are you still confused?"
Bucky said angrily: "Because of you, I have become a landlubber for the rest of my life. Of course I will remember you for the rest of my life!"
"Hey, aren't you feeling pretty good now?"
"If you really don't like these split fruits, the World Government already has the technology to extract Devil Fruits. How about I apply for it for you?"
Shanks spread his hands and asked. Bucky let go of his collar, turned his head and shouted:
"I have been in this Academy of Sciences for more than nine years, and I know this better than you!"
"But if this thing requires death, how can I have the courage?"
Although the Army Headquarters' General Ghost Shark and a senior colonel named Teach succeeded.
But Bucky still doesn't have the courage to experience death.
"alright."
"Hurry up and tell me what you are doing here. Are you just here to see me?"
Bucky waved his hands and didn't want to mention it again.
Shanks' expression became serious: "Of course I'm here to find you, and I'm here to invite you to join the Adventurers Association and serve as the president of the West Sea branch!"
"ha?"
Bucky was shocked, as were Ikoma and Frame next to him.
Just when he said he was leaving the Academy to become an adventurer, Shanks came to invite him to join the association?
Is it too much of a coincidence?
Shanks emphasized again: "You heard it right, come and help me, Bucky, and we will manage the Adventurers Association together!"
"Wait, what do you mean by helping you?" Bucky looked at him in confusion: "What is your relationship with the Adventurers Association?"
"I am currently the president of the Xihai Branch, but soon I will be the president!"
Mention this matter.
Shanks' mind recalled what Doflamingo had said to him before.
"I am no longer interested in the Adventurers Association."
"I will give it to you, this is what Lord Im meant."
"As for me, I will become the city lord of Zhuxing City and be in charge of commerce and trade in all realms!"
"咈咈咈咈咈~咈咈咈咈咈~"
The other party's proud laughter seemed to be faintly echoing in his ears even now.
Anyway, things developed in a direction Shanks didn't expect.
I originally wanted to resign, but I never thought that someone would make me the boss.
He also said that Lord Im also meant the same thing.
The most important thing is that Shanks' heart is moved.
Because this way you can manage all adventurers according to your own will.
He had been worried that Doflamingo would lead everyone astray.
After all, this person doesn't seem to be a kind person.
However, it is not that easy to take over the Adventurers Association. You must first have reliable people to assist you.
And it must be at least two people.
This is why we often say ‘right-hand man’.
From a practical point of view, two people can occupy half of the four major branches for him.
Fortunately, he had a good relationship with Ben Beckman of the Beihai Branch.
Well, after drinking together twice, Shanks thought the other person was a good person and already considered him a good friend.
Then one more person is needed.
After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of Bucky and came directly to the door.
Even if you are not invited, you can still meet this close friend.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived, I heard Bucky say that he wanted to be an adventurer.
This is so great!
"Are you the president of the Adventurers Association?!" Bucky screamed again after hearing this.
Shanks raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, yes, I will be there soon, how about it, is it awesome?"
"Damn it, it's good to be a Celestial Dragon, you lucky bastard!"
Bucky looked envious and jealous.
This made Ikoma and Frame's eyes jump, and they always felt that Bucky's attitude was too much.
No matter how familiar he is, he is still a Tianlong person.
Check out the correct version one by one!
But Shanks put his arm around Bucky's shoulders and invited him again:
"Come on, become the president of the Xihai branch and give me face!"
Bucky rolled his eyes and folded his hands on his chest: "You have such a shameless face?"
"Don't go!"
Shanks was puzzled: "Why, didn't you say you wanted to be an adventurer?"
"I didn't know you became the president. Now that I know, how can I become your subordinate?"
Bucky snorted coldly: "No matter what, I will go back to my old business and become a pirate again, and I can still hunt for treasures everywhere!"
"Don't you want to find treasures from other worlds?" Shanks asked in a low voice.
"This" Bucky was dumbfounded.
Yes, if you are a pirate, you are a criminal. How could the world government allow you to pass through the star gate?
"Ah ah ah, forget it then, I will stay here and take risks in the 'Lord God Space' every night!"
Bucky pushed Shanks away and shouted: "Anyway, you want me to be your subordinate, so go ahead and dream!"
Shanks didn't know what to do now.
Is it really impossible to invite Bucky?
"Since you two have such a good relationship, you just become the president."
The ‘Eight-Tailed’ Ushiki suddenly suggested.
"Um?"
Shanks and Bucky both looked at him, and the former asked: "What does this mean?"
Niu Gui replied: "Give Bucky the status of honorary president, so that he will not be your subordinate."
"If necessary, I will concurrently take up the position of president of the Xihai Branch and transfer it to me when a suitable candidate is available."
His idea was inspired by the tradition of the partnership between 'Ai' and 'Bi' in Yunyin Village through the ages.
Although the situation is not the same, we can also learn from it a little bit.
The only question is whether Shanks is willing to let Bucky be his equal.
Even if it's only in name.
"Hahahahaha!"
I saw Shanks throwing his head up and laughing, praising Niu Gui:
"Okay, this is a great idea. How about Bucky, can you come now?"
Bucky had a strange expression and was a little hesitant.
Unexpectedly, Shanks put his arm around his shoulders again, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.
After listening, Bucky looked surprised: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, think about it."
"The last president was Doflamingo, who was also a Celestial Dragon and had a large group of cadres under him."
"This time, because of the World Government's order, I had to hand over the Adventurers Association to me."
"He will definitely be unhappy in his heart and will definitely leave a group of people to oppose me."
"But I only have a dozen or so people available here, so I really need your help," Shanks said sincerely.
"Uh-huh, well, since you've asked me for help, I'll help you!"
As he spoke, Bucky proudly raised his head and agreed.
"But it must be the honorary president!"
"no problem!"
"Hahahahaha————"
The next second.
Shanks and Bucky hooked each other's shoulders, looking at the sky and grinning as if no one was there.
It was like they were back when they were teenagers in the Roger Pirates.
And this also means that Starfish’s Adventurers Association is about to enter the ‘Era of Two Kings’.
‘Red-haired’ Shanks and ‘Joker’ Bucky join forces again!
