Chapter 587 The first mission of the Adventurers Alliance
"Shanks!"
"Luffy!"
"Shanks!
"
"Luffy!
"
"Shanks!
"
"Luffy...hey, don't spit on my clothes!"
The scene was quite harmonious when we reunited after a long absence.
Luffy hugged Shanks and screamed and jumped like a monkey, extremely excited.
Shanks was also very happy. He couldn't help but rub Luffy's head and said, "I've watched your activity over the years. You have become an excellent pirate, Luffy."
"Ehehehe!" Luffy laughed like a monkey and said proudly: "Of course, I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
As he said that, he took Shanks' only remaining hand and said, "Come on, let me introduce you to my reliable companions."
Shanks laughed loudly, "Then I want to have a good look at it."
"Pirate hunter Zoro, swordsman."
"Navigator Nami."
"Sniper Usopp, let me tell you, this guy is really interesting..."
Luffy introduced the companions who would accompany him on the adventure.
Shanks listened silently like a kind old father.
Behind the two of them, the members of the red-haired pirate group had aunty smiles on their faces.
The kid who followed them around back then has grown so big now.
"I said Jesus Bu, the long-nosed kid over there at Luffy should be your son." Looking past the Straw Hats, Ben Jackman secretly gave Jesus Bu an elbow and said in a low voice.
Jesus Bu's expression was a little reserved, "Yeah..."
Free pirate.
Unqualified father.
Originally, Jesus thought that such a scene would never appear in his life.
But unexpectedly, fate plays tricks on people.
The father and son actually met under such circumstances.
Opposite him, the expression on Usopp's face was similar to that of his father, without the usual relaxed and funny expression.
He was angry and aggrieved.
Taking a deep breath, Usopp seemed to have thought of something, gritted his teeth and put on a mask to cover his expression.
When Jesus saw him, he felt an unspeakable guilty conscience again.
Luffy, after introducing all his friends, couldn't wait to chat with Shanks.
After a brief greeting, members of both parties came together naturally.
The host Jon provided drinks and food for this reunion, just like a family buffet, and they chatted in small groups.
Zoro is a swordsman, so the person he seeks advice from is naturally the swordsman Bendik Snake of the Second Sword Style;
Sanji found the chef Lucky Lu;
Chopper took his homemade wound medicine and gave it to Hongo, who was also the ship's doctor...
Those who failed to catch the younger members of the Straw Hat Pirates gathered around Nami and Robin - although they had no wrong intentions, chatting and drinking with beautiful women was a pleasure in itself.
In the corner, Usopp and Jesus looked at each other in silence.
Knowing the relationship between the two of them, both Sauron and Ben Jackman had a tacit understanding and left the place vacant.
Jesus Bu felt that there was something blocked in his throat, and he couldn't cough it out or swallow it. He scratched his face and his long nose, and finally couldn't help but said: "Boy, how have you been these years?
"
"What else can I do?" Usopp's voice trembled slightly, "...it's good. Luffy is a good man and an excellent captain. Meeting him is the greatest luck in my life."
"Really? Hahaha, that's good." Jesus laughed dryly to hide his inner embarrassment.
After the words fell, there was another disturbing silence.
This atmosphere lasted for about three or four minutes.
Jesus seemed to have made up his mind, and the cynicism in his eyes completely disappeared. He took a deep breath and said to Usopp, "It's my fault."
"What is this, an apology?" Usopp smiled deliberately, "You should tell your mother this, not me."
He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, "After all, the person you are most sorry for is her, not me."
"I'm sorry for her, and I'm also sorry for you." Jesus said with guilt on his face, "I know that I am a selfish man, abandoning her for my so-called dream... The outside world is so big that I don't even have time to come back and see her for the last time.
.”
Usopp shook his head: "Stop talking."
Jesus was silent.
After a moment, he hesitated and said: "What should I do to make you forgive me?"
When Usopp heard this, he became angry, "If you said this because of the guilt in your heart, then I can tell you clearly, Mr. Jesus, you don't need to do anything, you just need to do what you want."
Just do it yourself.
As for me, I am the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates and the brave sea warrior Usopp, and I have nothing to do with you."
After saying that, Usopp turned around and left, leaving Jesus with a decisive look on his back.
Some things cannot be put down just because they are put down.
Usopp always couldn't help but wonder if he would have been bullied by other children in the village if he had been born with a father; if he had been born with a father, his mother would not have died of depression.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
"Alas -" Jesus sighed, his eyes full of loneliness.
He has imagined this situation many times, and now that it is actually happening before his eyes, it is not unacceptable.
only……
A certain beautiful face flashed in his mind. Jesus lit a cigarette and murmured: "I'm sorry."
"Is it really okay not to entertain Red-haired Shanks?"
"Luffy is enough, I have a bigger plan."
"Huh? The plan you're talking about isn't going to be a shopping carnival or something, right?"
Jon spread his hands, "I'm not kidding you, I knew about it on the first day she managed to enter the Chambord Islands."
"You know it and you still don't care?" Ace couldn't understand.
Jon smiled, "How interesting."
Ace:???
Jon looked unsurprised, "This is the old routine of the World Government. Except for family-style organizations like yours, and red-haired organizations with extremely high entry barriers, Kaido and Charlotte Lingling,
They are all planted with spies from the World Government, there are more or less of them."
For example, Drake in the original destiny path, this guy has become a flying six under Kaido. If he works hard for a few more decades, he might be able to become the fourth plague or something like that.
Although Ace is no longer as naive as before under the influence, he still cannot understand this kind of private struggle.
In his words - 'Secret activities are really unpleasant'.
Jon blinked and seemed to suddenly think of something, and said with a gossipy face: "By the way, do you know the true identity of this Miss Stussy?"
Ace replied angrily: "How would I know."
"Speaking of which, he has some unclear relationship with Father Whitebeard."
puff--
At this moment, Ace finally spit out the drink in his mouth.
"Huh?" He stared at Jon in horror, with an expression of 'Are you fucking kidding me' on his face.
Jon said mysteriously: "Stucy is Barkin's clone, and Barkin should be familiar to you."
Ace twitched his lips.
·Ba Jin, a psychopath who calls himself the ‘white-bearded lover’.
This matter is quite famous among the Whitebeard Pirates. After all, it is daddy’s gossip, but no one usually dares to say it openly...
Stussy, Barkin's clone?
Ace felt a little confused.
But then, a rebellious thought came to the back of his mind: If young Barkin grew up like Stusy, it would not be incomprehensible for his father to make mistakes.
Shaking his head, Ace quickly restrained those dangerous thoughts.
"Ha!" Jon seemed to have noticed something and pointed at Ace: "Pay attention to your filial piety."
"Stop being so verbose, I respect dad very much." Ace said unhappily.
After pondering for a moment, he said slightly distressed: "It's just that dad is old after all, and suffered too many injuries when he was young. Although there is the magic elixir you found, but..."
He didn't say the next words, but Jon understood what Ace meant.
"Are you worried that you won't be able to lead the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Ace said nothing.
However, he was indeed worried.
After all, Marco and the others are more qualified than him, so becoming the Young Master is more like taking advantage of his unofficial appointment.
"Then go and prove it!" Jon gave Ace an idea, "Kill the guy who calls himself 'Whitebeard II' and let Marco and Bista see your strength. This way
Come on, no one has anything to say."
Ace heard it.
Don't say...
Don't tell me...
It seems to make some sense.
But he quickly reacted and stared at Jon suspiciously: "Wait a minute, you are telling me about Barkin again, and you are mentioning Whitebeard II again... Bah, that lunatic Weibull, do you have it?
My own purpose?"
"Of course." Old God Jon said: "You know that in addition to the New Navy, I also created an Adventurer's Alliance.
As the main member of the Adventurer Alliance, Portcas D. Ace, are you willing to accept the first mission of the Adventurer Alliance, to get rid of the evil, murderous, insidious and vicious 'Whitebeard II'
Edward Weibull and his mother Barkin?"
Ace:……
Let’s not talk about why I suddenly became a major member of the Adventurers Alliance.
By the way, aren’t you really introducing yourself with the words ‘evil’, ‘murderous’ and ‘sinister’?
Taking a long breath, Ace seemed to accept his fate, "Who asked me to be loyal and become brothers with you?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Very good, very good." Jon nodded with satisfaction and pulled out a task sheet that was completely different from the reward order from the drawer - it had the face of Edward Weibull printed on it.
As well as some abilities, there is also a thirty-day activity range.
Just like the tutorial for fools, even a novice can develop some specific tactics based on this task list.
Ace took the task order and asked curiously: "Um, President Jon..."
"Don't call me president, Trafalgar Law is the nominal president, I'm just a small behind-the-scenes manipulator." Jon corrected.
Say it out loud!
He doesn't hide his identity as the mastermind behind the scenes!
Ace found that after staying with Jon for a long time, he had a tendency to turn into a complainer, so he quickly got down to business: "So Mr. Trader Joestar, besides me, how many members are there in the Adventurer Alliance now?"
"Very well, Portkas-san, that's a good question."
Jon clapped his fingers and said, "You, the Whitebeard Pirates behind you, Luffy's group, the female warriors of Nine Snake Island, the fishmen, the fur tribe, and the red-haired ones... so far, that's all.
So much."
Three big question marks appeared above Ace's head, "Well, let's not talk about the forces under your command. I can also pretend that I haven't heard anything about our Whitebeard Pirates. Luffy will join this Adventurers Alliance. I
No surprise, what the hell is red hair, when did Shanks nod?"
Jon said matter-of-factly: "It doesn't make sense if you eat my food and drink my food and leave nothing behind."
Ace:……
After a long while, he chuckled and said, "If Shanks knew that he sold himself out after just a few drinks, he might come with a sword and hack you to death."
Jon shook his finger, "Cut me? He still has to say 'thank you' to me."
