Chapter 223 The real Straw Hat! D. Luffy? No! D. Ace!
Shanks glanced at the gold and silver treasure that fell from Cui Ze's hand, but his expression didn't change at all.
The other members of the red-haired pirate group looked at the Card Master's actions with curiosity.
It's just that there is curiosity and inquiry in their eyes, but there is absolutely no greed.
Same as the future Straw Hat Pirates.
The Red Haired Pirates are actually a very peculiar pirate group.
Although they pursue gold and silver treasures, they do not pursue it to the fanatical level like ordinary pirates.
In comparison.
The Red Haired Pirates care more about their partners whose lives depend on them and the freedom to sail the sea.
Treasure?
This is just a small embellishment in the life of a pirate.
"Pirate? Duty?"
Shanks couldn't help laughing in response to Cui Ze's question just now.
"Hey, friend, what's the point of being a pirate?
"Do whatever you want, be free, and do whatever you want. This is what a pirate should do!"
"So you are not interested in 'ruling' or anything like that?"
Cui Ze picked up the [Sealing Bottle Redforth] and played with it in his hand.
"Aspiring to be the freest being on the sea, is this the purpose of the Red-haired Pirates?"
"ah……"
Shanks didn't pay much attention to the strange situation of the Redfors being held in someone's hand. He pressed his knuckles against his temples and rubbed it a few times.
"Such familiar words...Mr. Reilly seemed to have said that Captain Roger told him the same thing."
The pale-faced little boss lady Makino had long understood from the conversation between Cui Ze and Shanks that they were not ordinary pirates.
But after hearing these two names from Shanks' mouth.
Maginot couldn't help feeling dizzy.
As a fellow villager of the naval hero Garp, even if Maginot no longer has to worry about the pirates messing around on the sea, she still knows something about the legendary One Piece and the Pirate King's right arm!
Maginot originally thought Shanks was just an unknown little pirate.
After all, this guy really doesn’t have that kind of...
How to say?
Not as domineering as a big pirate should be!
He spent the whole day laughing and joking with his friends, and when he stayed in the village, other than teasing Luffy, he rarely did anything else.
But now it sounds like...
Shanks is not only a great pirate, but also a member of the Roger Pirates?
This is too unexpected!
"Rayleigh the King of Hades and Roger the Pirate King, they are two names that are so striking~"
Cui Ze glanced at the straw hat on Shanks' head.
I have to say...
Shanks wearing a straw hat looks really strange...
"Yes, Mr. Reilly and Captain Roger are indeed great people!"
Shanks gave Cui Ze a thumbs up, showing a "You know your stuff" expression of praise.
"However, the me before was just walking along the same path Captain Roger took.
"Wait until later and put this hat on..."
Having said this, Shanks patted the yellow straw hat on his head, showing a relaxed expression.
"After handing this straw hat to him, I can probably walk on my own path...
"After all, this can be regarded as returning the property to its original owner...haha."
Cui Ze's movement of playing with the "Sealing Bottle" inadvertently stopped for a moment. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shanks.
Tell the truth.
Cui Ze is actually really curious as to why the famous red-haired pirates stayed in the weakest East China Sea for a whole year!
If it were simply to recruit members - that is, to recruit the sniper Jesus Bu.
It doesn’t take long at all!
After all, Jesus Bu is a man who often talks about the "ultimate romantic" phrase "The pirate flag is calling me."
Wives, children, and family burdens are not within his scope of thinking.
As long as the pirate flag is calling him, Jesus is satisfied.
The difficulty of Shanks recruiting Jesus Bu is really not that high.
and.
Even if Shanks stayed in the East China Sea for a whole year just to recruit Jesus Bu.
This also cannot explain at all why the place where the Red-haired Pirates are stationed is not in Silob Village where Jesus Bu is located, but in the Windmill Village of the Kingdom of Goa!
At this moment, after hearing Shanks’ words ‘Give him the straw hat’ and ‘Return it to its original owner’.
Cui Ze finally understood why the red-haired pirates stayed in the small windmill village for a whole year!
For Monkey D. Luffy?
Of course not!
Thinking from Shanks's point of view, it is certainly impossible for him to stay in Windmill Village for as long as a year because of the true grandson of the naval hero.
Moreover, with Shanks' identity and name, it is difficult to know that Luffy is Garp's grandson and was specially placed in Windmill Village.
but.
As Shanks, it is not difficult to find out that Captain Roger still has a child left in the world, and that the child was handed over to the care of the naval hero more than ten years ago!
Don’t say anything else.
Shanks has been to Batelila Island in the South China Sea more than once!
so.
There is only one truth of the matter!
Shanks stayed in Windmill Village because of "Portcas D. Ace"!
Repeat it again.
It's D. Ace!
Not D. Luffy!
even……
Shanks may also plan to hand over his [Straw Hat] and [Rubber Fruit] to Ace's hands!
The intern of the Roger Pirates and the second-generation Straw Hat boy.
The [Straw Hat] entrusted to him by the captain, and the [Rubber Fruit] symbolizing the beginning of a new era in the future.
Delivered together to the captain's biological child.
Something that is sensible and reasonable.
It is also very consistent with the routine of "blood theory".
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Under the silent gaze of everyone, Cui Ze suddenly burst out laughing wildly without knowing why.
In this short moment.
Cui Ze completely gave up the idea of robbing the rubber fruits from the red-haired pirates.
Not to mention how high the success rate of this operation is.
What Cui Ze wants to see more is the scene of [Portcas D. Ace] eating the [Nika Fruit]!
Think about it, that should be...
What an interesting scene?
"Give the Pirate King's hat to the Pirate King's child and expect him to start the so-called new era?"
The smile on Cui Ze's face still couldn't stop.
"What an interesting fate!
“Portcas D. Ace—no!
"It's Gol D. Ace!
"How far can he go with your support? Red-haired Shanks."
The relaxed expression that originally hung on Shanks' face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
He never expected to hear the captain's child's name from the mouth of a strange card master!
And it’s so detailed to such an outrageous level!
"Card Master...right?"
Shanks looked directly at Cui Ze's face with a serious and almost cold expression.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Let's put this boring self-introduction aside for now!"
Cui Ze kept smiling and made a speech like a magician.
"What I want to see more now is whether Gol D. Ace is willing to accept his father's fate, and whether he is willing to become Joey Boy who starts a new era!
"Take it out, Red-haired Shanks, the [Rubber Fruit] you snatched from the World Government!
"I want to know whether a new [destiny] will begin at this moment!"
Thank you very much to "Dancing with the Maple" for the 1500 starting coin reward!!
Thank you very much to "Bored Too Lonely" for the 100 starting coin reward!!
Thank you very much for the 111 starting coin reward of "How could Sasuke be so cute"!!

I have been struggling with how to write this plot...
It's been stuck for a long time.
This also caused the update to be delayed for a long time...
