Chapter 392 Shanks and Buggy

At this time, a grand welcome ceremony was being held on the Redvers, and the target of the welcome was Buggy the Clown.

Shanks held the wine in one hand and put his other arm on Buggy's shoulder, laughing.

"You're amazing, Bucky! I heard from my big brother that you almost escaped from prison!"

Bucky crossed his arms, turned his head away with a look of disgust, and said,

"What do you mean almost? I almost succeeded! If it weren't for you, those people in the prison wouldn't have noticed me at all!"

It turns out that after being arrested this time, Bucky did the same thing as in the original book. He slipped through the initial prison interrogation and was locked up in the lowest level of the prison, "LEVEL 1", without wearing Shanghai stone handcuffs.

Taking this opportunity, he used the power of his fruit to slip out of the prison. However, at this time, the prison warden Magellan received the highest order from the World Government, asking him to pardon a criminal, and this criminal was Buggy.

When Magellan first received this order, he was confused, wondering who this Buggy was? How could he attract the attention of the top leaders of the World Government?

There's no way. Buggy's life over the years is indeed very different from Shanks'. Magellan didn't even know that there was such a person in his prison.

But this was an order from the World Government after all, so Magellan had to take it seriously. Magellan, who was still squatting in the toilet, immediately pulled up his pants, came out and directly ordered people to search for a guy named Buggy in the prison.

The information he received surprised him, because this Buggy was just a "LEVEL 1" criminal.

Before he could figure out what was going on, someone came to tell him that the cell where Bucky was held was empty and Bucky was suspected of escaping from prison!

This scared Magellan so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and went out in person to look for Bucky with other people in the prison.

So Bucky enjoyed such VIP-level treatment, and not long after he escaped, he was arrested by the prison warden Magellan himself.

Just when he thought "my life is over", Magellan's next move made him completely unable to handle it. He packed up his bags and sent him out of prison like a plague god.

Buggy, with a confused look on his face, passed through the Gate of Justice in a small boat. Before he had gone far, he ran into Shanks who had been waiting nearby for a long time.

Shanks was wearing a black cloak at the time and was also alone in a small boat. Before Buggy could even see Shanks' face under the cloak, he was knocked unconscious by the hilt of his sword.

When he woke up again, he was already on board Shanks' Redvers.

.......

Shanks burped loudly next to Buggy's ear, and Buggy jumped up in anger and shouted,

"Asshole! You're still so annoying! Shanks!!!"

Shanks chuckled, took another big gulp, and said,

"Don't say that. We have been friends for decades. Let's not talk about the prison anymore. Who are we to each other?"

Bucky's face turned red with anger, but he soon seemed to deflate and picked up the barrel of wine and took a sip.

In fact, he knew in his heart that if it weren't for Shanks, his chances of successfully escaping from prison would be close to zero, and he might even lose his life.

But even though he knew it clearly, asking Buggy to thank Shanks would be even more painful than killing him, so he simply kept silent and drank alone.

Shanks smiled knowingly when he saw this. He slowly sat down next to Buggy and closed his eyes to enjoy the wine.

The two quiet people seemed particularly abrupt in the noisy atmosphere around them. Lakiru came over with a large piece of barbecue in his hand and said to Shanks,

"Boss, you're so bored here, do you want to come over to our place and have a donut eating contest? Katakuri is really good at it, even I'm no match for him!"

Shanks smiled and shook his head. Lakiru didn't ask any more questions. He took a big bite of barbecue to moisten his mouth, then turned around and threw himself into the "battle" with Katakuri.

Bucky glanced behind him and said casually,

"These companions you found seem to get along well with you... but they all seem so out of tune!"

Shanks smiled and responded,

"Of course. It's necessary to have such a group of unconventional companions on the sea. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring?"

Bucky snorted disdainfully and said,

"That's your own idea. I still like the thrill of finding the treasure! Isn't this what being a pirate is all about?"

"So you must have found a lot of treasures over the years. You've made a fortune quietly!"

"......Of course, but now I finally understand why you, as a pirate, are so uninterested in treasure."

"Huh? Why?"

"You're asking me?! You're actually a Celestial Dragon! Apart from ONE PIECE, is there any treasure in this world that can compare to the Celestial Gold? And that Celestial Dragon, he's actually your big brother! I said back then that the relationship between you and him is definitely extraordinary!"

Shanks tilted his head and said,

"But... I really didn't know my life experience back then. And Buggy, to be honest, he did protect you back then, right? It was he who asked the World Government to issue your amnesty to Impel Prison this time."

"...I don't dare to get involved with that kind of person. Humph, my intuition is indeed accurate. Staying with a guy like you can really save my life!"

Shanks smiled helplessly, but to Buggy, this smile seemed a bit Versailles no matter how he looked at it.

Bucky slammed the barrel down on the table, wiped his mouth, and said,

"Okay, find a place for me to get off the boat. I don't want to be on the boat with a guy like you!"

"Don't be so anxious, Buggy. Now that you're here, just stay here and let's go find ONE PIECE together!"

When Bucky heard this, his eyes widened and he exclaimed,

"What? You mean ONE PIECE? Aren't you no longer interested in that?!"

"Who said I'm not interested? I just said I didn't have this idea for the time being. It's just for the time being."

"Asshole! You're talking about this again now. Who do you think I am?! Do you know that I believed you were..."

Bucky suddenly stopped talking here, then lowered his head with a gloomy expression.

What he wanted to say was that at that time he believed that Shank would definitely become the Pirate King.

Shanks looked at Buggy quietly, then slowly spoke,

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Bucky."
