Chapter 397 Waiting for Brother to Come

Shanks listened to Teach's begging for mercy with an expressionless face, without a single fluctuation in his heart, neither contempt nor sympathy.

Shanks knew a little about Teach, so he was not surprised that someone as powerful as Teach would beg for mercy.

Shanks himself is by no means a so-called saint. Although he looks kind at ordinary times, he has been on the sea for so many years. Once he attacks the enemy, he will definitely not show any mercy.

This can be seen in the scene in the anime where Shanks destroyed the Kidd Pirates, which directly caused the destruction of the Kidd Pirates' ship and the death of all the people. It also made Kidd understand what would happen if someone without the halo of the protagonist faced the Four Emperors.

Do you really think the Four Emperors are all old, weak and sick?

If Shanks hadn't been waiting for Zigg, he would have killed Teach long ago.

Sometimes the war between pirates is even more brutal than the war between the navy and pirates.

Shanks just looked at Teach coldly, then turned and left. He wanted to go see his old acquaintance Whitebeard.

In the medical room on the ship, Whitebeard was lying on a large bed while Hongo was inserting a needle into Whitebeard's body. There were medicine bags hanging all around.

When Shanks came in, he saw Whitebeard lying motionless on the bed and said,

"Hongo, how is Newgate's health now?"

Hongo responded,

"It can be said that his condition is extremely bad. Due to old age and various injuries, his body has completely collapsed. Everything I do now can only sustain his life for a week at most."

Hearing this, Shanks couldn't help but shake his head and sighed,

"I never thought that the Whitebeard would fall to this state. I think if he was still conscious, he would definitely want to die in the battle."

As if he heard Shanks' voice, Whitebeard's eyelids twitched slightly, but that was all.

Hongo continued,

"Maybe he still has some consciousness. To be honest, it's quite sad to see him like this."

Shanks walked forward, looked down at Whitebeard on the bed, and spoke slowly,

"This also means that a new era is about to arrive. What do you think, Newgate?"

......

In the evening, Shanks and others were eating dinner together on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze. Only Brulee stayed in the room with Chiffon.

Teach and his companions were thrown onto the side of the ship. The food placed around them looked delicious, but how could they have any appetite at all at this moment?

Because this is obviously the last meal before execution!

When Teach thought of Tianlong who might arrive at any time, he lost all mood to eat cherry pie.

Sometimes death is not scary. The scariest thing is the process of waiting for death. They are experiencing this process now, and every minute and every second is a great torment.

Shanks in front was enjoying dinner with his crew members. Lakiru tore off a large piece of barbecue, wiped his mouth, and said,

"Why hasn't the boss's boss arrived yet?"

The "boss of the boss" that Laqilu mentioned naturally refers to Jiger. He always calls him that in private, and everyone else has gotten used to it.

Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke and said,

"How can a person like him always be available whenever we call? Besides, we are no longer in our territory, so he can't just use his ability to get here."

Shanks drank a little too much. He nodded with a flushed face, burped, and said,

"That's right, big brother is the admiral of the navy after all, he must have a lot of official duties to do, hahahaha, it turns out that being a pirate brings more freedom, poor big brother~"

Buggy couldn't stand Shanks's smug look, so he crossed his arms and said,

"If I were your big brother, I would definitely beat you up when I heard this!"

Shanks shook the barrel in his hand with a nonchalant look on his face, then suddenly put an arm on Buggy's shoulder, leaned close to him and said smugly,

“Hey, Buggy, are you jealous of me? Jealous that I have such a big brother? Hmm~?”

Bucky's nose suddenly turned red with anger, and he shouted,

"Don't get carried away here! You despicable relative! You think you are so great just because you have the last name Feigalando! Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have such a big brother around?"

Shanks blinked and tilted his head to look at Buggy, the expression on his face spoke for itself.

With a big brother like Jige around, we can really do whatever we want!

Buggy rolled his eyes, turned around and started drinking alone. He didn't want to say another word to Shanks, his relative!

When Shanks saw Buggy’s deflated look, he smiled even more brightly.

Katakuri in the corner was eating donuts silently, his eyes always glancing towards Brulee's room.

Although he didn't say it, Katakuri was still very worried about his sister Chiffon, especially in the afternoon when he learned that Chiffon was pregnant.

Thinking of this, Katakuri put down the donut in his hand and sighed softly.

This nephew of his will will surely be like himself, a child without a father. Is this the fate of the Charlotte family? Born to have a fatherless father?

And Chiffon seems to have deep feelings for Teach. If Teach dies, can Chiffon withstand such a blow?

Just as Katakuri was lost in thought, a familiar voice came from above.

"I enjoyed the meal."

Katakuri widened his eyes, and like everyone else on the deck, he raised his head and looked up at the night sky.

Shanks waved his hands excitedly towards the sky and said,

"Big brother!"

The person who came was Ziger. He crossed his arms and looked down at Shanks below with a smile on his face. His wings behind him flapped gently, and finally he landed steadily on the deck.

When Teach, who was standing by the side of the ship, saw Jigg coming, a gloomy look instantly appeared on his face. He knew that he was really finished this time!

Bucky immediately sat up straight, his facial muscles twitching and his throat rolling.

Shanks came over with a large barrel of wine and grinned.

"Brother, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a whole day!"

Jiger glanced at Shanks and said with a half-smile,

"Well, I'm busy with official duties, so I can't be as relaxed and free as you."

Shanks's face froze when he heard this, and he whispered,

"Um...Brother, you just arrived, right?"

"Yes, but I have very good ears. Otherwise, how could I find my good brother in this dark environment?"

Shanks swallowed and laughed awkwardly, sounding like a duck.

Zigg took the beer barrel from Shanks' hand, took a sip, and then looked at Teach and others on the side of the ship.
