Chapter 465 Mr. Bucky’s Backstab
After Adrian finished speaking, everyone on the deck of the Redfors suddenly had different expressions and postures.
Beckman sighed, closed his eyes and held his forehead, as if recalling some unspeakable past event;
Lucky Lu was stunned and almost dropped the bones and flesh that he held in his hands while sleeping;
Bucky was so frightened that his limbs were separated from each other, but in addition to being frightened and frightened, he did not forget to cover his mouth tightly with both hands, for fear that he would scream;
Even Mihawk, who has a calm personality, couldn't help but look at Shanks, with his sharp yellow eagle eyes, as if to say, "How do you manage to be in debt to the white ghost and still live for such a long time?".
"Debts are wiped out after death or something..."
Shanks, the protagonist of the topic, shook his head crazily and shouted repeatedly.
"This sentence is too terrible!"
Adrian smiled softly.
During the previous sword trial competition, in order to keep the identity of "White Face" concealed, he deliberately did not go to Shanks to trouble him, and even deliberately avoided Shanks when he was educating the swordsmen on a daily basis. Activity route.
Except for the time when the red-haired pirates first landed on Toriyama Island, Adrian had never accurately sensed Shanks's every move with the Haki of seeing and hearing.
But what I didn't expect was that after the sword trial meeting, there would be nearly a week of fighting with Whitebeard.
Shanks, who clearly knew his true identity, did not immediately pilot the Redfors to leave the waters around Toriyama Island. Instead, he followed Mihawk and others to watch the battle secretly.
This is not...
Did you bump into his hand?
Adrian has actually always been curious about how this golden leek, which ran out of his vegetable patch without permission a few years ago, is doing well now.
It's a pity that Shanks' current comprehensive strength is not enough, and he is completely unable to trigger the challenge mission.
If it were like before.
You must defeat Shanks fifty times in a row before you can trigger a random mission...
It can only be said that this trick may work against Shanks who has just gone to sea.
But for Shanks, who has now formed a red-haired pirate group and is able to skillfully use the domineering haki, such behavior is somewhat inappropriate.
Don't pay attention.
It may cause this golden leek to directly hit and die on the edge of the demon sword Ghost Tetsu!
In that case, the gains outweigh the losses...
"In that case, 'Captain of the Red-Haired Pirates,' when are you going to pay off your debt?"
Adrian did not call out Shanks' name, but deliberately pointed out his identity.
"Ahaha, I don't know either——"
Shanks reached out his hand and touched the back of his head. He was about to pretend to be stupid and vague, but suddenly realized something and stopped talking.
"Wait! Three?!"
Shanks opened his eyes slightly and looked at Adrian in disbelief.
Although we haven’t seen each other for three or four years.
But before escaping from the small sky island, Shanks still clearly remembered that he only owed Adrian a Devil Fruit - even the debt for this Devil Fruit was forced to bear!
To this day.
Shanks still doesn't know how he ended up in Devil Fruit debt at that time.
Taking a deep breath, Shanks regained his composure.
"Adrian, we are all face-saving and reasonable pirates."
"Huh?"
"If I remember correctly, I only owe you one Devil Fruit, right?"
"Really?"
Shanks thought quickly, recalling every detail of his time in the Xenoxia Kingdom, and then said with great certainty.
"That's right! Such and such, such and such... I really only owe you one Devil Fruit!"
In order to enhance credibility, Shanks directly told the detailed process of how he (forced to) owe Devil Fruit, down to every fruit.
Under Shanks' narration.
Everyone in the red-haired pirate group suddenly felt that their captain's past life was so difficult.
Bucky even flew over and reached out to pat Shanks' shoulder a few times to comfort him.
"Oh——"
Adrian nodded, deliberately prolonging his voice.
Shanks was full of confidence and hope, "That's it!"
"Then the other two are considered as interest."
Adrian said this lightly.
"Interest? No! What?"
Shanks went crazy again.
"Look, as a Devil Fruit maker——"
Adrian paused slightly and almost said the title of Shanks' "Devil Fruit Making Machine", but fortunately he changed his mind quickly.
"The person who is responsible for the debt, it has been several years since you left Xiaokong Island. During this period, you even established a famous pirate group."
"Well, these are indeed correct." Shanks nodded first, then shook his head, "But what does this have to do with interest?"
"Think about the previous [Devil Fruit Rebirth Experiment]!"
Adrian reminded with a smile.
"If you spend all these years on Devil Fruit rebirth experiments, Shanks, how many Devil Fruits do you think you can create?"
Shanks was going crazy.
He was determined to refute.
But no evidence could be found.
Every bit of the original Devil Fruit rebirth experiment that was completely unscientific came to life in his mind.
In Shanks' palm, he seemed to feel the special and magical touch of the Piao Piao Fruit and the Hot Fruit.
As a witness to the devil fruit rebirth experiment.
Especially witnessing the miraculous scene where the superhuman Re-Re fruit reborn directly in Adrian's hands after he killed Charlotte Owen.
It's hard for Shanks to say "I can't make even one."
Almost four or five years have passed since he escaped from Xiaokong Island.
Even if you only create one devil fruit a year.
You can also get at least four.
If calculated this way, Adrian only increased the debt of two Devil Fruits. It seems, maybe, seems to be quite conscience?
What a ghost! !
Shanks came to his senses and almost yelled.
He just wanted to argue.
Adrian said again: "It seems you already understand."
Shanks: No! I don't understand anything!
"But, after all, I'm not a devil."
Adrian's smile remained unchanged and his tone was gentle.
"We are reunited after a long separation. Let me give you a gift. What do you think of a Devil Fruit?"
Shanks asked with a dark face: "The kind that is cut from debt?"
"That's right~ I'll answer it quickly."
Adrian replied with a smile, a cowardly expression.
"Well, can I interject a word?"
At this moment, Master Bucky, who was standing aside as quietly as a chicken, suddenly raised his hand.
Adrian gestured: "Please speak."
Bucky looked at Adrian and then at Shanks, then stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips to relieve the tension in his heart.
"How about...White Ghost, can you just give us a Devil Fruit and keep the debt unchanged?"
Thank you very much for the 100 starting coin reward from "Who cares about rebirth"! !
