Chapter 431: The Domineering Shanks! (Part 2) (Ch 431)

“Hahaha, is there anyone as awesome as you?” Jesus laughed.
“It’s true that you are very powerful, but Captain, don’t forget that you are a member of Roger’s pirate group. Will the World Government and the Navy let you become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?” Laki Lu also laughed.
The rest of Shanks’ crew members all followed suit and started to mock this guy.
It can be seen that this pirate group usually has a very harmonious relationship.
There is no particularly serious relationship between superiors and subordinates. Everyone interacts with each other on an equal footing and is friends and partners.
Shanks was very annoyed by these people’s ridicule, and he retorted loudly: “Don’t disbelieve it, maybe the World Government and the Navy can’t figure this out now, but when they figure it out, they will look across the sea and find someone like me who has the qualifications and potential to challenge the structure of the New World? If they really want to make the Seven Warlords of the Sea a sharp knife, they might ask me to do it.”
“Hahaha, if there really comes such a day, I, Jesus Bu, will do a handstand…” Jesus Bu didn’t believe it at all and shouted and was about to swear.
But at this moment, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open.
A cool breeze blew into the tavern, causing everyone in the tavern to look back.
The same goes for Shanks and others.
Then, their expressions became serious. Jesus Bugen didn’t say any more nonsense. He pulled out the short-barreled musket hanging from his waist, held it in his hand, with a murderous look in his eyes.
Because there were three people pushing the door and entering the tavern.
These three people all wore masks and white robes, looking mysterious.
Maybe many people don’t know what they are.
But Shanks is an experienced pirate and recognized them at a glance. They must be the CP-0 members under the World Government.
Only intelligence agencies like theirs would make themselves so mysterious.
I really don’t know what they were thinking, coming up with this iconic look and then sneaking in?
Still asking for information?
It’s just a matter of writing the words “I am a spy” on your head, okay?
Shanks had been sitting in the tavern for so long that he naturally knew that there were no other big guys in the tavern.
Most of the time, these people came here to target them.
But I also felt a little strange. The CP agency has never been involved in pirate affairs. Things like catching pirates are handled by the Navy Headquarters.
What are they doing here today?
Sure enough, the three men’s eyes swept around the tavern and then stopped at Shanks and his group.
Then, the three men walked towards them very steadily.
“Hey, captain, it looks like you’re here to find us? Should we strike first?” The muzzle of the gun in Jesus Bu’s hand moved slightly, and he asked with an evil smile on his lips.
Shanks raised his eyebrows slightly, then said, “Don’t worry… It doesn’t look like you’re here to cause trouble.”
In fact, Shanks has been leading the Red Hair Pirates at sea for so long and has hardly ever provoked the World Government.
On the one hand, he had done all the big things that should have been done when he was in Roger’s pirate group.
There is no need to continue doing these things to gain fame or anything like that.
On the other hand, he knew that sooner or later he would have to enter the new world and fight with Orgrim.
A powerful opponent like Orgrim is waiting for him.
Shanks is so bored that he has to start hell mode? And he wants to provoke the Marine Headquarters and the World Government?
There is obviously something dirty going on between Orgrim and the World Government now.
Otherwise, could Doflamingo become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?
Therefore, if he made enemies on both sides, who knows if these two shameless people would join forces one day and make a plan for Shanks.
Isn’t this embarrassing?
So Shanks rarely messes with the World Government, and doesn’t bother with the Navy’s messy stuff.
In this case, the World Government should have no reason to cause trouble for us.
Just as Shanks guessed, after the three CP-0 members walked in front of Shanks and others, they stopped appropriately, leaving some space for both sides.
And they had no intention of taking action, but remained silent.
Shanks frowned slightly and said, “If you have nothing else to do, please don’t disturb our drinking mood here, okay?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of CP-0 said in a deep voice: “Red Hair…”
Shanks picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then said calmly: “Say…”
I have to say that this guy usually seems out of touch, but when it comes time to show his strength, he still has the aura of a big boss.
A simple word “say” was uttered.
His aura changed, and even the people in the tavern felt a strong oppressive force.
This is a precursor to domineering Haki.
This guy Shanks has such strong domineering aura that it is rare in the world.
How strong is it?
The domineering aura of ordinary people is just the power of intimidation.
Shanks’ domineering Haki doesn’t need to be fully released, it can even affect matter.
Whitebeard’s Moby Dick is also a rare and powerful battleship, but it will be damaged under his domineering aura.
As if intimidated by Shanks’s aura, the three CP-0 members did not speak immediately.
But because they were wearing masks, we couldn’t tell if there was any change in their expressions.
After a brief silence, the CP-0 talent spoke up: “We, the World Government, would like to discuss a deal with you. Are you interested?”
Shanks’ eyes narrowed slightly, and the other members of the Red Hair Pirates also had strange looks on their faces.
If they were ordinary pirates, they would never negotiate with the World Government, let alone cooperate?
But for some reason, Shanks was silent for a while, then said: “Tell me about it…”
“My World Government believes that you may be able to serve as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. If we both reach a cooperation on this matter, the World Government will fully support you. Of course… in secret.” The member of CP-0 said softly.
For some reason, it seemed that the people in the surrounding taverns were not paying attention to this matter, and they all had a blank expression on their faces.
It seems that his eyes are very unfocused, as if he is out of his mind.
There is no doubt that this is a manifestation of being affected by a certain devil fruit ability.
Shanks naturally noticed this as well, so he didn’t care about the inappropriate venue.
He grinned and looked at Jesus Bu with amusement. Jesus Bu also looked very uncomfortable. Fortunately, I didn’t finish what I said just now, otherwise I would have diarrhea while standing upside down.
Isn’t this slap in the face coming too quickly?
Is the World Government crazy that they actually invited Shanks to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?
Could it be true, as Shanks just said, that the World Government intends to allow the Seven Warlords of the Sea to truly secure their high status?
“Interesting, you should be aware of my identity, right? Invite me to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?” Shanks said with a smile.
This member of CP-0 was also feeling a little unhappy.
Because this is not the demand of CP-0, but the demand of the Navy Headquarters.
It seemed that the newly promoted naval marshal of the Warring States period was going to make big news as soon as he came to power.
First, Mary Geoise proposed to increase the amount of naval expenditure.
The World Government promised.
Afterwards, Sengoku proposed to increase the deterrent power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and to select a person who has enough potential and qualifications to carry the banner of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and who will be able to pierce into the New World like a sharp knife in the future.
The World Government originally intended to use the power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to infiltrate the New World and exert their influence.
The navy has always been uncooperative and even dragged its feet.
But the navy operates within the rules, so it is not easy for them to say anything, let alone directly intervene in the management of anything.
After all, although the navy is their subordinate organization, it still has to have some face.
You can’t just grab them and slap them in the face all day and expect them to work hard for you, right?
Now it’s okay, I don’t know if it’s because Zhan Guo became a marshal, or he got wiser, or what.
In short, if he is willing to loosen some of the reins on the necks of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the World Government will naturally be happy to do so.
Otherwise, why did they create the Seven Warlords of the Sea?
Therefore, this proposal was quickly passed.
As for Sengoku, there is also a candidate who he is not sure about, that is Shanks, who he has been eyeing for a long time.
This kind of task, being a petty guy like Sengoku, would not let go of any chance and directly gave it to CP-0, asking them to contact Red Hair Shanks and persuade Shanks to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
CP-0 just feels like fucked.
Who is Red-Haired Shanks?
How could they, the most powerful intelligence agency under the world government, not have any idea of ​​the situation?
Which of the former crew members of Pirate King Roger is not arrogant?
You expect him to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea and serve as a running dog for the World Government and your Navy.
Is this a joke?
But the definition given by Sengoku this time is also very clear. The Navy will truly face Shanks with a cooperative attitude, instead of treating guys like Moria as they did in the past.
This left the CP-0 agency speechless.
In addition, their performance within the World Government has been worrying over the past period of time. The Navy is now riding on their heads, and they can’t resist at all.
Under the orders of the Five Elders, he had no choice but to go find Shanks.
In this matter, the naval admiral Zhan Guo was indeed very cunning.
On the one hand, he expressed the attitude of the navy, which was very correct. We are willing to cooperate with the World Government to strengthen the Seven Warlords of the Sea organization.
This is progress!
But at the same time, the real problem was left to CP-0.
Now, if it is done well, it is him, Zhan Guo, who gets the credit. If it is messed up, it is you, CP-0, who is at fault.
This is so… painful!
But the former admiral of the Navy Headquarters is now the commander-in-chief, and he can do whatever he wants to your CP agency. Do you still think this is the old times?
Just do your job obediently!
“We have investigated your background thoroughly, and of course we understand your legendary experiences, but this does not hinder our cooperation…” the CP-0 members said softly.
Shanks smiled, waved his hand and said, “What a pity! You guys have come here for nothing. I’m sorry, but I don’t intend to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. You can choose someone else…”
“I think you should reconsider it…” The CP-0 people did not give up and seemed to want to persuade him.
But Shanks’ expression changed at this moment. He lost his smile and his domineering aura instantly pressed down on the three people. He shouted in a low voice, “Get lost!”
Under the masks, the faces of the three CP-0 members were pale, and they were unable to withstand Shanks’ powerful aura at all.
He suppressed the humiliation and anger in his heart, but in the end he could only leave here in disgrace.
After they left, the tavern returned to normal. Everyone seemed unaware that they had just fallen into a trance and were still chatting lively.
Shanks, on the other hand, put down the wine glass in his hand with a smile, looked at Jesus with amusement and said, “What did you just say?”
Jesus’ expression changed, and he pretended nothing had happened, saying, “Come on, drink, drink. This time it’s my treat!”
“Hahahaha…” Laki Lu laughed at Jesus Bu first, then his expression straightened and he said, “Captain, you are right? The World Government actually invited you to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Why did you refuse?”
“Don’t I have any dignity?” Shanks rolled his eyes and said.
I, Shanks, am the user of the Face Fruit. If you invite me to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you should at least send someone powerful and respectable, right?
Just three little minions came up to me and gave me orders, and I should join them obediently?
Haha, do you really think of me, Shanks, as some insignificant little character?
“It’s not impossible for them to ask me to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but they need someone like the Admiral of the Navy to come and talk to me.” Shanks said, waving his hand domineeringly.
(Please give me flowers and monthly tickets!)
