Chapter 398 A rare trance

At the banquet——

The focus of the whole audience was still the wise and brave Captain Shano and the very energetic young man Franky.

Shanuo raised his chin proudly and said in a proud voice: "Hehe, kid, it's not too late for you to kneel down and beg for mercy. For Mr. Tom's sake, the wise Captain Shanuo can spare your life."

After Shanuo finished speaking, he continued to look up and wait for the answer from the energetic young man Franky. However, after a while, apart from the lively laughter of the people around him, no one paid any attention to our Captain Shanuo.

Captain Shanuo was immediately furious. He was the most prestigious and influential elder in the place, but no one paid any attention to him! ~

Yes, in Shanuo's opinion, the most powerful people here are Lex, Roy and himself, and he happens to be the elder brother of Roy and Lex. After rounding it off, he is the most prestigious "elder" in the whole place.

In line with the principle that the dignity of elders must not be trampled upon, Captain Shano will definitely strike hard, using Franky, the spirited young man who has repeatedly spoken rudely, as a negative example, and severely punishing him with a heavy punch! ~

Thinking of this, Captain Shano immediately stood up and walked towards Franky following the sound.

When Xia Nuo saw it, he saw the spirited young man Franky, who had put on a handsome set of mechanical armor at some point, and was posing in various ways for the three beauties.

"Superman!~"

歘——

The crisp and pleasant mechanical sound of the armor combining attracted everyone's attention, especially the introverted but slow-to-warm-up Benny, who was completely attracted by the super armor of the spirited young man Franky, and was pulling Gion to look at Franky's armor with stars in her eyes.

Benny's new attribute - an introverted girl who likes mechas.

What? You said Bernie is already thirty years old? That's still a girl! ~Everyone here has pure gold! ~

Franky shows off the mecha he developed himself. Although in the current world line, Tom was not detained on the sea train, and Franky did not use his body to resist the impact of the sea train, so he did not become a mecha man like in the original timeline, but studying machinery has always been Franky's hobby, so Franky also developed the current "Super Franky 1.0" with the support of his master Tom.

When Shanuo saw Franky showing off in front of the three beauties, he was furious and immediately took a big step forward to punish the smug mecha kid.

"Hey!~ Kid!~"

Xia Nuo was furious and looked like someone who was not to be trifled with, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"What?~"

Franky looked at the silly Captain Shano in confusion. The fact that he couldn't even avoid flicking his own booger was enough for Franky to laugh at him for the rest of his life.

Seeing that everyone was finally looking at him, Xia Nuo finally felt the feeling of being the center of attention. It was so cool~

Get out of the way, the great Captain Shano is about to start showing off! ~

"Hmph!~ Stupid kid, you don't even realize the disaster is coming! How dare you speak rudely to this captain——"

Before Shanuo finished speaking, Gion on the side said to Beni: "Sister Beni, do you think Shanuo wants to take revenge on Franky? No way, he is just a child."

Benny didn't react, but even if she was dumb, she probably knew that Shanuo seemed to want to take revenge on Franky, so Benny opened her curious and puzzled eyes and looked straight at Shanuo who was talking nonsense.

Feeling the gazes beside him, Xia Nuo began to hesitate.

His wife, Benny, seemed to like the mecha of Franky, the spirited young man, and his action against the young man seemed to be "unjustified", which did not reflect the magnanimity of Captain Shano.

Gion on the side began to assist: "Brother Shanuo, no way, are you going to bully little Franky? But he is only twelve years old~"

Now the young-looking Franky is only twelve years old, and the king of destiny, Luffy, has not even been born yet. This is the first year of the great era.

Xia Nuo's hand completely stopped, his face hesitant and unwilling:

"Humph, of course this captain would not bother to attack such a lowly person!"

After saying that, Xia Nuo left angrily, leaving a few people laughing behind him.

Captain Shanuo, who had been mighty for half his life, wanted to have some fun after leaving the new world, but he didn't expect to fall flat on his face as soon as he arrived in the Magic Valley Town.

The banquet was still going on. Except for Xia Nuo who was feeling unhappy, everyone else was talking and laughing.

Tom got a little tipsy and started bragging about his past with Roger:

"At that time, Roger and his friends brought a whole piece of Adam and asked me to build a ship. I promised them that as long as they brought a whole piece of Adam, I would build them the fastest sailing ship on the sea. A man of honor will never break his promise! Even if I am arrested by the World Government, I will not regret building the Oro Jackson!"

Lex smiled faintly and replied:

"Roger will have no regrets in his life because he has a friend like you."

Tom laughed out loud and raised his glass: "Cheers to Roger! Cheers to the sea"

Everyone raised their glasses.

The ocean is vast and boundless. No one has ever reached every island in the world. Roger's pirate group once reached the end of the world. This was the first feat in eight hundred years, but people will not give up their dream of exploring the ocean. Many years later, there will still be generations of young people who come to the Grand Line, find Tom or Iceberg, or other shipbuilders, and ask them to build their own warships, so that they can ride the wind and sea and break through the waves.

Lex enjoyed the atmosphere of everyone talking to each other. The sea breeze blew away the accumulated depression and brought the fragrance of freedom.

Lex and Gion in the crowd looked at each other quietly, and saw a hint of joy and excitement flashing in the depths of Gion's eyes.

Only then did Lex realize that it had been almost ten years since he went out to sea.

……

……

at the same time.

Within the power structure of Marijoa, several of the world's highest authorities are arguing endlessly.

Mercury was the first to say:

"What is the Navy trying to do?! Are they demonstrating to the Holy Land?"

"Hmph!~ Summon the Seven Warlords of the Sea to clear the Grand Line, half of the navy is dispatched! Did Sengoku ask for our permission?!~"

Hearing Mercury's question, Venus was silent for a moment: "The reason Sengoku reported was to arrange the sea area for the new Shichibukai, so several pirate islands had to be cleared, so the Shichibukai and the headquarters' combat forces were mobilized."

"What nonsense! ~ To clear a few pirate islands, we need to dispatch three admirals?! ~ Are we going to dispatch so many fleets?! ~ Are they going to counterattack the New World? These are all excuses. It's nothing more than that the navy is dissatisfied with Enel's elimination of traitors, so they are protesting against us."

Saturn asked:

“So how do we deal with this?”

As the new Mars, Jialin Sheng rarely speaks:

"Just ignore it for now. Now is not the time to start a war against the navy."

Saturn asked back:

"But we just let Marinford run rampant?"

"What else do you want to do? Kill them all? Who will you use next time?"

"..."

Mercury saw these people who were shirking responsibility to each other, and laughed in his heart. These guys who were content with their positions, were the five elders who held the highest power in the world, but they were not even as useful as CP General Manager Enelu. They were all weak and incompetent trash! ~

It seems that the heavy responsibility of saving the collapsing empire still falls on Mercury's shoulders!
