Chapter 444 Chatting about the secret treasure
After roughly checking the progress of the current mission, Adrian closed the panel with satisfaction.
The next moment, he closed his eyes slightly and held his breath.
The full level of cognizant color dominance was used easily and freely, centering on the luxurious suite beneath him, it continued to spread to the surroundings, and in a moment it covered the entire Toriyama Island.
This is what Adrian has been doing these past few days.
Through observation and color, he quietly investigated the many forces that landed on the island.
Of course, the most important thing is to sense the approximate number and location of powerful swordsmen who want to participate in the sword trial meeting.
"There are two more strange great swordsman auras. Counting the previous ones, the total number of great swordsmen gathered on Toriyama Island now has almost exceeded twenty, right?
"In the past, why didn't we feel that these level 80 characters were so common?"
"As for the next-level swordsmen, the number now gathered on Toriyama Island is really like 'crucian carps crossing the river'!"
"But having said that, in front of so many swordsmen, only the swordsman who becomes the final winner of the sword trial competition is qualified to be called the [World's Greatest Swordsman]! The kind that everyone is convinced of. .”
Adrian was constantly sensing the situation on Toriyama Island, tentatively sensing the few great swordsmen who had recently landed on the island.
At this moment, a familiar aura that had lasted for more than a year was clearly captured by the sight.
"It's finally here, Shanks..."
……
other side.
Shanks and Bucky, who had been wandering the streets for a while, also found a tavern they liked, called 'Tailless Monkey'.
This is a two-story wooden tavern. The engraved sign hanging outside the door is slightly old. In the upper right corner of the sign is a cartoon-style monkey without a tail, with a head standing on its head. short blond hair.
“The name of this pub is really interesting!”
Shanks was eagerly preparing to step into the tavern, but his movements suddenly stopped.
"Hello? What's wrong?"
Bucky was a little confused and skillfully flew out of his head and floated in front of Shanks.
"In a tavern of this size, even if I treat you to drinking for three days and three nights, it doesn't matter to me!"
"No, that's not the reason."
Shanks shrank his neck and shivered inexplicably.
In the dark, there seemed to be a cold gaze with dissatisfaction falling on him.
"Then why?"
Bucky couldn't understand. His head floating in the air spun several times, but he couldn't find anyone or anything worthy of Shanks' reaction.
"It can't be that old man with white beard who came to see you in person, right?"
Bucky told a joke to himself.
"Maybe not..."
Shanks' throat vibrated a few times and he looked around a few times, suppressing the ominous premonition in his heart.
"I just feel like something is watching us... I have a very bad feeling for no reason."
"Huh??"
Several big question marks appeared above Bucky's head, and then he looked impatient.
"Shanks, is there something wrong with your mind?
"It's just a drink. How can there be so much trouble? Do you want to drink or not?!"
"Of course I want to drink!"
Shanks shook his head and replied quickly.
As a poor pirate captain whose daily pocket money is strictly limited.
The opportunity to be treated and drink for free like this is quite rare!
Instantly putting aside the inexplicable feeling of being spied on, Shanks put his arm around Bucky's shoulders and walked into the 'Tailless Monkey Tavern' together.
The tavern was not crowded, but there were few free seats, and the round table closest to the bar was full of people.
Moreover, almost every drinker wore a machete or long sword on his waist. They were all people who came to Niaoshan Island to participate in the sword trial competition.
In other words, the melon-eating masses.
At this time, the topic discussed by this group of melon-eating people is naturally the most popular teacher Bai on the island in recent times.
A bald man with tattoos all over his body and a black skull scarf around his neck took a swig of dark beer, wiped his mouth and asked his companion next to him: "Is that white noodle really that powerful?"< br>
"It's not a matter of whether Bai Mian is good or not, he is really that kind of..."
The man who answered the question was wearing a dark green sleeveless trench coat with an open chest and abdomen. The skull logo symbolizing the identity of the pirate was also painted on his exposed chest and abdomen, and his tone was tangled.
A drinker on the side interrupted.
"Isn't Bai Mian powerful? Apart from other things, is he the only great swordsman on the island who is willing to teach others swordsmanship?"
Another drinker said disdainfully: "Who said that a white-faced man must be a great swordsman? He wears a mask all day long and doesn't show his face."
"Today's latest information, a white-faced sword shot away the Vice Admiral Rat in the Navy! That Vice Admiral Rat was a serious Lieutenant General of the Headquarters! The difference in strength between the Lieutenant General of the Headquarters and the Lieutenant General of the branch does not need to be Did I say too much?”
"It's a flying squirrel, not a mouse!"
"Who cares what kind of mouse he is?! He has a mouse face anyway!"
"The navy is like this! A bunch of sanctimonious trash who only know how to lick the butts of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons!"
The conversation in the tavern gradually turned into the pirates' disdain and criticism of the navy.
Shanks and Bucky, the gay friends, took a lot of effort to finally order drinks and sit down in a vacant, slightly dark corner.
"The topics in the tavern are really the same forever, strong men, pirates, navy, world government..."
Bucky took a sip of wine and said angrily.
"Can't we have some noble pursuits? Obviously only treasures are eternal!"
"Okay, okay, I've been used to this kind of thing for a long time, haven't I?"
Shanks picked up the wine glass, put it to his nose, and took a deep breath, slightly intoxicated.
"As expected of a popular tavern! The quality of this rum is quite good!"
Tons, tons, tons, a full cup of rum is consumed in an instant.
Shanks carried the wine bottle again, filled the glass with wine, and this time began to taste it slowly.
"This wine is pretty good..."
Bucky said a little reservedly, and then couldn't help lowering his voice.
"By the way, we just talked about treasure... Shanks, do you have any new treasure maps in your hand?"
"Is digging for treasure risky?"
Shanks' eyes lit up slightly.
"That's right!"
Bucky closed his eyes happily, dreaming about his secret treasure.
"Quiet cave, buried treasure chest, brilliant gold coins, dazzling gems... Chi Liu Chi Liu..."
"Haha!" Shanks couldn't help laughing, "Bucky, your dream has really never changed!"
"Isn't this natural?"
Bucky opened his eyes, and his pupils almost turned into the shape of gold.
"The three greatest dreams in my life are: first, to find Captain John's treasure; second, to find Captain Wunan's treasure; third, to find the captain's treasure!"
Captain John, once belonged to the Rocks Pirates.
When Locks D. Jiback was defeated by Garp and Roger.
According to legend, Captain John took the Rocks Pirates' huge wealth accumulated from decades of traversing the sea, betrayed him early, and disappeared.
Captain Unan is also one of the powerful pirates of the old era.
Since going to sea, he has been determined to find all the gold and treasures in the world, and later earned the nickname "Golden Thief".
According to legend, Captain Wunan only robbed bad people of their money, but the total amount of gold he owned accounted for about one-third of the world's total.
However, just like Captain John, Captain Wunan also disappeared after acquiring such a huge wealth, leaving only the legend of a "gold island made entirely of gold".
As for the last thing Bucky said - "The Captain's Treasure".
Of course it refers to the "Great Secret Treasure" that Gol D. Roger told the entire sea before he died!
The day before the Roger Pirates were about to arrive at Lovedrew, Bucky suddenly fell seriously ill for some reason. He was unable to even move at the most basic level and was forced to stay on the ship.
Because Shanks had to take care of Bucky, he did not follow Roger and others to the final island of Rafdru.
Due to such a mistake, the two young crew members who originally belonged to the Roger Pirates did not successfully reach the final island and see the so-called "big secret treasure" like others.
This is an eternal regret in Bucky's heart.
"To sum it up briefly, your dream in life is [treasure], right?"
Shanks couldn't help but complain.
"In that case, why not go find the golden fruit!"
"You guy——"
Bucky broke away from his fantasy, and when he heard Shanks' words, he couldn't help but fly in front of him.
"You guy! Do you think I don't want to?"
Bucky, furious, stretched out his hand and grabbed Shanks' collar.
"The Golden Fruit has always been one of my biggest dreams!"
"Your biggest dream is too much..."
"Don't interrupt me!"
Bucky interrupted Shanks's rant very irritably, grabbing Shanks by the collar and shaking him around.
"If it hadn't been for this damn split fruit, I would have been lying on the golden boat dreaming! And if it hadn't been for you scaring me from behind..."
Shanks turned his face away in embarrassment.
Although he never thought it was his fault that Bucky ate the split fruit.
But Bucky did always think it was in his head.
from a long-standing quarrel.
Shanks realized one thing deeply. It was useless to reason with Bucky on this topic.
then.
In one-sided silence.
Bucky almost accused Shanks with blood and tears for nearly several minutes.
"And that time, you not only made me eat the split fruit! You also lost a treasure map that concealed a peerless treasure..."
"...In short, this is all your fault!"
Bucky ended the conversation with these words.
Shanks picked up the rum on the table and took a sip quite calmly.
"Yeah."
This wine is delicious.
The Clown King squirted so much that Supernova Redhead was speechless.
Bucky wins!
Buckyton felt refreshed with a victorious spirit. He scanned the environment in the tavern and couldn't help but ask.
"By the way, Shanks, are you going to participate in this 'Sword Trial Tournament' they are talking about?"
Shanks nodded, "It sounds interesting, why not join?"
"The twenty-one-piece sharp knife has a market price of more than ten million beli..."
Bucky muttered, judging the value of [White Knife Night] from his personal perspective.
"Then it's not too bad this time... I can make so much money at one time..."
Shanks asked: "Speaking of which, Bucky, do you want to participate in this competition?"
Bucky subconsciously refused, "I'm not a swordsman!"
Shanks smiled and said: "But many swordsmen can't deal with you."
Bucky glanced at Shanks.
The swordsman really couldn't help but split the fruit into pieces.
But Master Bucky himself can't do anything against those swordsmen!
Unless the organizer is willing to let him take out "Bucky's special artillery shells" and blow up the opponents and the playing field into the sky at once.
But in that case, this would not be a "sword trial meeting"!
The red and blue CPs discussed this topic for a while.
Bucky once again changed the subject.
"It is said that a big sharp knife can be sold for 10 million beli. How much can a supreme sharp knife be sold for?"
"How do I know this? I don't have a supremely sharp knife!"
Shanks took a sip of rum and said seriously.
"But I recommend you to ask Whitebeard. The Moby Dick is parked in the harbor of Toriyama Island, and he must have the Cong Yunqi in his hand."
"Whitebeard... I don't care about that weird old man!"
Bucky waved his hand deliberately.
"Shanks, after this time is done, let's dig for treasure again! I happen to know the legend of a super treasure, which is called the most beautiful sword in the Grand Line!"
"Are you talking about the Seven Star Sword?"
Shanks thought for a moment and responded.
"But isn't that a legend from hundreds of years ago?"
"What super treasure is not a legend from decades or hundreds of years ago?"
Bucky said plausibly.
"Just like Captain Wu Nan, people still say that this 'gold thief' owns one-third of the world's gold!"
Shanks shrugged, "But do you know where Captain Wu Nan's Golden Island is?"
"...I don't know."
Bucky said with some difficulty, but then cheered up.
"But I know where the Seven Star Sword is!"
Shanks said calmly: "I know too."
Bucky: "..."
"Aska Island!"
"..."
"I also know that you learned about this from Ms. Olbia."
"...you?"
"Yes, this is what Ms. Olbia told me."
Shanks patted Bucky on the shoulder.
"Also, Bucky, Ms. Olbia forgot to tell you something else.
"Aska Island is in paradise, and we are in the new world."
At this moment.
Bucky had only one thought in his heart.
As expected, I shouldn’t stay with the Red Haired Pirates for too long. The East China Sea is more suitable for me!
"Shanks, let's return to the East China Sea immediately!"
"Huh?"
Shanks looked at Bucky in confusion.
Even if I go to the East China Sea, it’s not now.
"Sure enough, is it easier to get drunk just by drinking alcohol?"
4k chapters, but it is not two in one, it still counts as 1 chapter.
There should be more.
