Chapter 568 The Red-Haired Pirates Disbanded

Grand Line, on the Redvers,

Shanks stood at the bow of the ship, raised his head and took a big gulp of liquor. He wiped it with his hand, turned his head to look at the island behind him that was gradually blurring out of his sight, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Beckman came slowly with a pot of wine in his hand. He put his arm on the side of the boat and said with a little emotion,

"The so-called ONE PIECE, is that all it is......"

Shanks shrugged and said,

"No wonder Captain Roger behaved like that back then. In the end, it was just a trap set by others. Thinking back on my past, I am really ridiculous!"

As he said this, Shanks raised the wine flask in his hand with some depression, but found that it was already empty. He simply took Beckmann's and tilted his head back to take another big gulp.

Beckman looked at Shanks speechlessly and said,

"So what should we do next? Anyway, we have already arrived at Raftan Road. The news will spread soon, and then you will become another Pirate King after Roger."

"The Pirate King... Tsk! Big brother is right, a pirate is a pirate, there is no such thing as a king or not. The so-called Pirate King is nothing more than a big thief. This title is the same as ONE PIECE, it's just a big joke."

Shanks casually returned the jug to Beckman. Beckman weighed it and found that it was empty. He could only smile helplessly.

He threw the wine jug and watched it fall into the sea and drift away. A hint of disappointment flashed across Beckmann's eyes.

"Shanks, you are also going to disband the pirate group like Roger did back then, right?"

Shanks' body trembled, and his previous carefree look gradually disappeared. He forced a smile and said,

"Maybe...I can no longer find the meaning of continuing to sail on this sea."

"captain!!"

Shanks turned around and found that all the members of the Red Hair Pirates had arrived on the deck, including Buggy.

Buggy crossed his arms and tilted his head to look at Shanks.

"It's incredible. I never thought that a guy like you would get tired of being a pirate one day. It seems that this business is really over."

Shanks smiled noncommittally and said,

"Baki, I don't have that much face. The existence of pirates depends on the will of my brother."

Bucky swallowed his saliva. His fear of Jiger was genuine. Hearing this, he looked around guiltily, fearing that Jiger would suddenly appear somewhere again.

Lakilu, Jesus Bu and Hongo, the veteran members of the Red Hair Pirates, all had tears in their eyes. Lakilu opened his mouth and tore off a large piece of barbecue. Although he had a good appetite, the barbecue tasted like wax and he almost vomited it.

Hongo wiped away tears and said,

"Captain, are you really going to disband the pirate group?"

Shanks hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded silently. He didn't want to look at the sad eyes of the crew members again. He turned around and looked at the sea level in the distance, and said softly,

"After wandering for half my life, it's time for me to go home..."

The atmosphere on the deck fell silent for a while. After a long while, Beckman suddenly poked Shanks with his arm and said angrily,

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you still the Shanks I know with this dejected look? We are all watching from behind! Can you, as a captain, please be more cheerful? The Red Hair Pirates haven't disbanded yet, so please don't embarrass our pirate group!"

Buggy also echoed in a sarcastic tone,

"This isn't the first time I've seen him like this. I don't know who told me to be a real man. It's so embarrassing!!"

After hearing what Buggy said, Shanks, who was facing away from the crowd, turned pale and blue in the face, and his eyebrows were raised.

It would be fine if Beckman said a few words to him. In fact, as a captain, Shanks was often scolded by Beckman. But he couldn't stand the yin and yang of Buggy.

He turned around abruptly, rolled up his sleeves, and glared at Buggy with a red face, just like he did in Roger's pirate group, and yelled,

“Hey! Buggy! What the hell were you talking about? Are you itchy?”

Buggy was not afraid at all. No matter how strong Shanks was, in his eyes, he was still the same red-haired brat. His body split apart, and his upper body floated into the air. He made an ugly face at Shanks.

"I told you that you are embarrassing yourself! What's the matter?"

Veins popped up on Shanks' forehead. He raised his hands and clenched them. Two red air masses suddenly clamped Buggy's upper body in the middle, pulling him up and throwing him flat on the deck.

Seeing Buggy's look, Shanks' suppressed mood was somewhat relieved. He looked up at his crew members, took a deep breath, and suddenly laughed.

"Everyone, I'm a father!"

The crew members who were still grieving were shocked by Shanks' sudden news. They really didn't know about this.

Shanks laughed to himself.

"Just for this matter, we should have a proper banquet! Come on! Bring out all the wine and meat!!"

Katakuri silently snapped his fingers upon hearing this, and white glutinous rice balls separated from his body. These glutinous rice balls floated into the cabin, and soon a large amount of wine and food were brought out.

Shanks walked to the center of the deck, pulled Lakiru and Hongo to his side, put his arms on their shoulders, and said with a smile,

"Don't look so sad, be happy."

Beckman came over with his hand on his forehead and said helplessly,

“I really can’t do anything about you, but at least we have found ONE PIECE. No matter what the result is, we have achieved our original dream. We should have a party to celebrate.”

After Beckman said this, all the crew members gradually suppressed the sadness in their hearts, shouted loudly as if to vent their feelings, and then grabbed the wine and meat and sat on the ground, entering into a banquet state as usual.

Shanks looked at his crew members with a smile on his face, raised his hand, grabbed the black cloak on his body and threw it hard, then joined in very heroically and raised his glass to drink with all the crew members.

At the banquet, Shanks looked at Katakuri who was showing off with a donut in his hand and asked with a smile,

"Katakuri, what are your plans for the future?"

Katakuri swallowed the donut in his mouth with a gulp. He glanced at Brulee beside him, wiped his mouth, and said,

"I will go back to Cake Island with Bree. I heard that there have been a lot of changes there now."
