Chapter 572: Catching Bucky
Shanks slowly took back the wine barrel cup he had just raised high in the air, and forced out a smile that looked very dry to anyone, "Yes, Griffin is indeed a good sword..."
< br>
Adrian landed on the deck of the Redfors with a calm expression, turning a blind eye to Shanks' awkward posture, and even said a few very kind hellos to Beckman, Bucky and others.
Unfortunately, White Ghost's reputation (notoriety) is too great. Even the clown Bucky, who is known for his recklessness and greed, does not dare to be presumptuous at the moment. Beckman, the calm-tempered vice-captain, is even sweating coldly on his forehead.
Why did I meet this evil star here...
Everyone in the red-haired pirate group groaned in their hearts.
Adrian shook his head boredly, and then looked at Shanks, chatting as if he had met a friend, "Speaking of which, how did you get this Western sword?"
"Ah, um, Griffin is..." Shanks was frightened out of his drunken state and stammered, "I caught it while fishing when I passed through the waters of Etwall... ”
"..."
Adrian fell silent.
A few years ago, when he defeated the White Lion Pirates, he not only wiped out the entire White Lion Pirates, but also sank their pirate captain into the sea with his sword.
Even though Shanks is indeed destined to this Western sword Griffin.
Even in the original timeline, this sword was his weapon.
But caught by fishing...
Adrian simply didn't know where to start with the complaints in his heart.
Can a weapon of this level be fished from the sea? !
Off the charts!
After a few pleasantries to break up the strangeness between the two, Adrian got straight to the point: "Shanks, now that I'm here to come to you, you should be able to guess what I'm going to do, right?"
Shanks fell silent and put down the barrel cup in his hand. At the same time, his dominant left hand slowly grasped Griffin's knife handle.
To be honest, in his eyes, Adrian is definitely a guy with a pretty bad character!
Ever since he bumped into this guy on the first day he went out to sea alone in the West China Sea, Shanks understood this truth very deeply.
Shanks, who had been beaten countless times, felt a very familiar feeling again.
That's right...
This atmosphere...
I'm about to get beaten again...
"Huh?"
Seeing Shanks' little movement, Adrian couldn't help but let out a little surprise.
"Are you ready to fight with me first?"
"?!"
Shanks was shocked for a moment, and let go of his left hand that was originally holding Griffin as if he was electrocuted.
It seems like you don’t need to be beaten?
"No no no!"
Shanks waved his hands repeatedly, putting on a pitiful posture begging for mercy, which looked particularly pitiful when paired with the vicissitudes of his face that had not yet completely faded away from the redness caused by the drink.
"I just want to show you the quality of Griffin!"
Adrian frowned slightly, not quite understanding the inner activities of Shanks, a second-generation straw hat, and said bluntly.
"You still owed me two Devil Fruits before. I recently captured two more Devil Fruit users for experiments!"
Shanks' originally smiling expression suddenly froze.
Why is it that broken experiment again? !
It would be better to be beaten directly!
At least you don’t have to see such outrageous scenes!
"That kind of experiment depends entirely on luck..."
Shanks said dumbfounded.
"Actually, my luck is not as good as you think, Adrian."
"Really?" Adrian shook his head, "I don't believe it."
Shanks' expression was stagnant, as if a scholar had met a soldier and couldn't explain why.
"But..."
Adrian's eyes slowly shifted from Shanks to the red-nosed clown who was quite conspicuous in the crowd.
"Actually, there is an alternative..."
Right?
The owner of overlord color luck?
Mr. Bucky, who was suddenly stared at by the white ghost, was almost frightened to the point of being separated from his head!
Don't look over here! !
……
Inside the stronghold.
A very familiar Devil Fruit rebirth experiment room.
The Hetan-no-Orochi and Heitan-chanmaru, who were neither humans nor ghosts, were randomly placed in the corner of the room like test subjects to be processed.
Next to these two Hei Tan family members, there are a large number of fruits of all kinds, just in case.
After several Devil Fruit rebirth experiments, both Adrian and Shanks are very familiar with this posture.
Mr. Bucky, who was accidentally brought into the Fortress, was a young newcomer. He was very unfamiliar with all the items in the room, but he didn't dare to ask at the moment!
It's obvious that Shanks can be harmed by himself, so why should I be brought in too! White ghost bastard!
Bucky, with a dull and stiff expression, was frantically playing a small theater in his mind.
Shanks, who couldn't resist, had already resigned to his fate, but looking at the two old men in the corner of the room who were like candles in the wind (the black charcoal snake had almost exhausted its vitality due to multiple bursts of fruit power), he still felt I felt a little uncomfortable.
"Are these two the ability users for this experiment?"
"That's right. Kurotan Orochi, a phantom beast species with Yamata no Orochi fruit ability, Kurotan Chanmaru, a superhuman type with barrier fruit ability."
Adrian enthusiastically introduced Shanks and Bucky to the identities of these two veterans.
"Speaking of which, you two are somewhat related to these two members of the Heitan family. These two are...previously the general and senior staff of Wano Country."
Upon hearing this, Shanks and Bucky couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths at the same time.
What a "previously"...
"The former conspired to usurp the position of general that originally belonged to Kozuki Oden." Adrian added with a smile, "The latter was one of the original crew members of the Rocks Pirates."
These two keywords clearly ignited the curiosity of Shanks and Bucky.
Kozuki Oden was their companion in the Roger Pirates, and the Rocks Pirates...
Although few outsiders know about it, both Shanks and Bucky are very aware of their own experiences.
The two of them were the orphans who were taken aboard by the Roger Pirates after the Battle of the Valley of Gods!
The original opponent of the Roger Pirates was the Rocks Pirates!
Adrian explained the specific situation of Heitan Orochi and Heitan Chanmaru in detail.
The bad feelings in Shanks and Bucky's hearts have almost disappeared.
I originally thought that the white ghost was coveting the fruits of the two ability users, so he directly captured these two poor old gentlemen...
It turns out that these two old guys are not good people to begin with!
After the small talk, Adrian took the lead in awakening the black charcoal snake.
In his personal judgment, compared to the barrier fruit with unparalleled defense power, the Yamata no Orochi fruit is obviously less attractive.
Even if you can be resurrected multiple times, and as the number of resurrections increases, your strength will continue to skyrocket...
But the mental state also becomes increasingly chaotic.
The pure fruit of psychosis is perfect for using as a knife.
Adrian used the ability of [Soul Control] and easily learned the general appearance of the Yamata no Orochi fruit from the mouth of the dying black charcoal snake.
Holding the black charcoal snake in his hand, Adrian looked at Bucky and Shanks.
