Chapter 273 C-level random mission [Red Hair]
late at night.
In the bottom cabin of the Abyss.
Shanks, whose body was covered with whip scars, lay limply on the cabin floor, like a corpse that had been tortured to death.
But the slight rise and fall of his chest showed that he still had some breath left.
Phew~
Shanks breathed out with difficulty, his eyes widened slightly, and his pupils looked at the ceiling above his head. A series of thoughts in his mind, like a revolving lantern, quickly passed by and then disappeared.
"It's me, it's me first, I was the one who initiated the invitation first..."
"For the first time, I have a crew member I want to invite, someone I can be a lifelong partner with..."
“But whether it’s a demon sword or a leather whip, why is it always me who gets beaten?”
"Why did it become like this..."
With a soft "creak" sound, the wooden door of the cabin was pushed open from the outside.
Little Fox Love walked in quickly with a dinner plate in her hand, which was piled with rich and delicious food.
The strong aroma of food constantly emanating from the dinner plate instantly rescued Shanks from the image of a white scholar.
He stood up quickly, sat up, and sat upright from the cabin floor. His eyes were shining and he looked directly at the food in Love's hand.
“It smells so good!”
Love walked to the table in the cabin, slapped the dinner plate on the table, then put her hands on her hips, raised her chin slightly, and said rather unhappily.
"Hmph! You're a nuisance who wants to take Adrian Sama away from me! If Adrian Sama hadn't been worried about you starving to death and asked me to bring you some food, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you, you nuisance. Where’s the guy!”
Shanks turned a deaf ear and didn't listen to Love's words at all.
He took three steps and two steps at a time, and rushed to the front of the dining table like a starving ghost reincarnated. He didn't even see clearly what was in front of him, so he grabbed something at random and stuffed it into his mouth.
The successive battles with Adrian had greatly consumed Shanks' energy and stamina, and he had suffered serious physical and psychological injuries. At this time, he was in urgent need of a large amount of food supplements.
Well, it just requires a lot of food supplements.
The reply method of the physique monster is so simple and clear.
A moment in the blink of an eye.
Shanks stuffed less than half of the food on the plate into his mouth, barely filling his empty stomach and regaining consciousness a little.
Only then did he have the intention to look at the little fox who had just brought the food into the room, and said with a slight surprise.
"Wow! Fur tribe! It's fur tribe!"
Upon hearing this, the little fox's ears, which were originally full of displeasure, twitched slightly, and the fluffy fox tail also swept gently behind him.
"You guy..." Love looked at Shanks uncertainly and hesitated, "Have you seen the fur tribe before?"
"Oh, Love, Shanks, like me, was once a member of the Roger Pirates."
Rumi walked straight through the cabin wall and entered the room. After hearing Love's familiar voice, he immediately explained.
Immediately, the boat spirit raised its arm again, and with a gentle ripple, a pile of bottles and jars of medical drugs were transferred out of the castle and placed on the table.
Shanks was still stuffing food into his mouth with his right hand, but he still freed his left hand to pick up a bottle and check it out.
"Are these...all...drugs?"
Shanks' words sounded a little slurred because his mouth was full.
"Yes!"
Rumi nodded happily. The small gap between it and Shanks during the day had already been forgotten by the broad-minded ship spirit.
"Although I am not a professional doctor, these are medicines that can be used to treat common injuries! These things have been placed in the castle for a long time. You should need these very much now, right?"
Shanks stuffed the last bit of food into his mouth, then clasped his hands together and thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you so much! Rumi!"
"It's okay," Rumi said, somewhat shyly, flying in the air. "Hurry up and see what you need, right?"
Having lived in the Roger Pirates for more than ten years, although Shanks is not a ship doctor, he still has some rough and simple emergency treatment concepts.
Although the bandaging technique is not professional, it can still be used.
While Shanks was choosing medicine and treating himself.
Love waved to Rumi and said repeatedly: "Rumi! Rumi! Come here quickly!"
Rumi flew in front of Love and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Love quietly pointed to the medicine over there, "Did Adrian Sama ask you to deliver these medicines?"
Rumi replied: "Yes!"
"Why would Adrian Sama give medicine to this guy to treat him?" Love was very puzzled, "Obviously this guy wants to take Adrian Sama away from me!"
Rumi was embarrassed to remind Love, the "little third-in-command", to pay attention to his identity, so he simply explained.
"Shanks just extended the invitation."
Love wrinkled her nose, "Then does this guy also want to go to Visalia, the small sky island with us?"
Rumi nodded and said: "Looking at what Adrian means, it should be like this."
The thoughts from Adrian instantly suppressed the little fox and left him speechless.
Love quickly glanced at Shanks, and her evaluation quickly changed.
"Looking at it this way, the red-haired one is at least more normal than the one with long earlobes."
Love asked again: "Rumi, who do you think is more powerful, red hair or long earlobes?"
"Shanks and Enelu?" Rumi touched the brim of his hat, thought for a moment, and then commented, "Shanks must be more powerful!"
Then it explained.
"The main reason is that Adrian is so powerful, which makes Shanks appear to be weak. In fact, compared to some commodores and even rear admirals in the Navy Headquarters, Shanks can easily deal with them."
Love was quite keenly aware of the key elements and nodded in approval:
"That's right! Adrian Sama is the best!"
The little fox and the little boat spirit got together and muttered for a long time.
Shanks finally finished treating his injuries. His upper body was covered with white bandages, and a long gauze patch was applied to the scar scratched by the demon knife on his right cheek.
Through the large amount of food supplement just now, Shanks has recovered a lot now, and he can also think of the questions that he had never had time to ask before.
"Rumi, can I ask you something?"
Rumi interrupted the conversation with Love and turned around, "What's the matter, Shanks?"
"That's it. Adrian said before that Captain Roger has a wife. So what's going on?"
Shanks always thought he was Roger's son——
Pooh!
I always thought Captain Roger was alone!
"Oh!"
Rumi immediately became energetic. In fact, he had always been very curious about this matter.
"I don't know much about this matter, because I only woke up from my deep sleep when I was in the Capital of Seven Waters. The previous things were only mentioned by Adrian occasionally."
Rumi immediately told Shanks what it knew about Roger's wife and children.
"It turns out that Captain Roger not only has a wife, but also a child?"
Shanks felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart at this moment, as if he had been robbed of another layer of his identity.
"That should be true!" Rumi nodded, "But I have never seen Mrs. Lujiu! I am very curious!"
"By the way, Rumi, have you seen that guy Barrett too?"
Shanks remembered something again.
"Adrian seemed to have said before that that guy went to the East China Sea? What kind of village is he from?"
"I'm not very clear about this," Rumi shook his head. "When I met with Barrett, I hid in the castle most of the time and didn't go out."
"Okay."
Shanks shook his head with regret, but didn't pay too much attention.
Although they had lived with the Roger Pirates for several years, Barrett's character was too cold and he always had an arrogant expression of "I am the strongest", which did not get along well with his temperament.
Rumi comforted him thinking that Shanks just wanted to meet his fellow Roger Pirates.
"According to Adrian, we will next go to Upside Down Mountain, pass through the Twin Gorges, and arrive at Paradise. By then, Shanks will be able to see Kurokas."
Shanks' expression suddenly became bitter. He didn't want to go to the Grand Line right now!
I want to gather my friends and form a new pirate group on my own!
Shanks shouted loudly in his heart.
"Rumi, do you think there is any way I can get off the boat early?"
Rumi said with some uncertainty: "Beat Adrian?"
Shanks twitched the corner of his mouth. If I could defeat the White Ghost, would I still be in this situation?
Just then.
Love suddenly said something sinisterly: "Actually, just die."
Shanks complained loudly: "Don't say such horrible things!"
Rumi comforted: "Oh, Adrian is actually really nice."
Of course, Shanks knew this.
Most of the conflicts between pirates have been seen on the sea in the past.
Most of them are the kind who will never give up regardless of life or death.
Shanks had only seen someone like Adrian in the original Roger Pirates who kept giving him opportunities to challenge.
Douglas Barrett was conquered by Captain Roger after failing challenges one after another.
However, I don’t want to be subdued!
Shanks burst into tears.
He just felt that the captain's identity and dream seemed to be moving away from him.
……
The next morning.
The Abyss sailed on the shimmering sea.
on deck.
The challenge activities on the second day are still in progress.
"Ha!"
Shanks shouted loudly, jumped up, and slashed down with the domineering sailor scimitar in his hand.
Facing this lightning-like direct attack, Adrian didn't even raise his eyelids. He flipped his hand over and then swung it with his right hand.
Qiang——
There was a crisp sound, and the two swords drew dazzling sparks in the air.
Shanks' powerful and heavy sword was completely thrown to the side. Xuezhao gently followed his momentum to the side, actually pushing his body to tilt to the right.
One hit failed.
Shanks didn't panic. When his body fell to the ground, with his right foot as the core support point, the sailor scimitar in his hand immediately cut across.
Adrian exerted force with his right arm, Yukizai pressed down, received Shanks' attack, and bounced it away.
Then he raised the knife upwards at the speed of lightning and cut it down immediately.
In a hurry, Shanks retracted his sailor scimitar, kicked off his right foot, and rolled to the side in a panic.
Snap!
Adrian stood there and snapped his fingers easily.
In front of Shanks' tumbling route, a mini ghost with a slightly black aura appeared out of thin air, with a cruel and malicious smile on his face.
The ghost of bad luck and the lucky curse.
Faced with such a protagonist.
Simply brutalizing his body is not enough.
You must also pay attention to the tenacity of your spirit.
exactly.
Adrian possesses a large number of emotional manipulation abilities that can make people nervous.
Unable to avoid it, Shanks closed his eyes tightly and bumped directly into the face of the bad luck ghost exuding a black aura.
Direct access to Adrian's most well-known ghost ability.
Shanks thought he would encounter something extremely terrifying right away. After closing his eyes and waiting for a while, he found that nothing happened.
"Ha!"
Shanks suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, wielded his sailor scimitar, and was about to laugh twice.
At this moment, a crystal-clear and round transparent bubble suddenly rose from under his feet.
The bubbles secreted by the Alchi mangrove tree are extremely tough, and the surface is smooth and moist. This made Shanks' soles suddenly slip before he could stand upright.
At the same time, the sailor's scimitar that was originally stuck on the deck also fell backwards because the owner lost control, with the blade pointing straight up, and fell to the deck first.
Shanks, who fell down later, sat down on the blade, his trousers instantly bleeding.
"Ouch——"
Shanks let out a scream and quickly rolled to his feet, holding his bleeding buttocks, trying to get away from the sailor's scimitar that was obstructing his master.
But in a hurry, he stepped on the flat surface of the sailor's scimitar.
Under the lubrication of the blood, the sailor's scimitar suddenly functioned like a banana peel.
Wow——
Scored twice!
Hiss~
It almost hurts to look at it!
Adrian couldn't bear to look at it, and he felt a little emotional about the terrifying effect of the ghost of bad luck.
Compared with the previous social death consequences of Tenguyama Fei Te's wife being exposed.
At this time, Shanks, under the interference of the ghost of bad luck, suffered physical injuries that could be called torture.
Really blooming butt!
Just as Adrian stood patiently, waiting for Shanks to stand up again like an immortal Xiao Qiang.
Suddenly a prompt message came from the panel.
