Chapter 179 Are you teaching me how to do something?

"You... are so boring..." Olbia sat quietly by the campfire, checking the nautical map.

We are about to enter Upside Down Mountain, which means we are only one step away from the West Sea.

The next island is Whiskey Peak, and beyond that is Upside Down Mountain.

The Navy has not yet publicly announced a large-scale operation, which means that the World Government secrets discovered on the ship she is on have not yet been deciphered.

"Go get it back from the sea, Cooper." Arthur said to Cooper and turned back to the camp by the campfire.

He took out a roll of medical bandage from the medical box: "Once you wrap it with the Supreme Bandage, it won't die."

"Not every creature has the same physique as you, Arthur." Olbia enlightened Arthur.

Soon after Cooper flew overseas—

Shanks came back with two large barrels of wine.

He put down the barrel in his hand and asked Arthur without any airs: "What's wrong? Mr. Arthur, did Punch say something wrong?"

"What...what's wrong...Captain." Benck Punch responded to Shanks with a sweat on his face: "I was a little offended, sorry."

A man who could still respect his captain so much even when he saw his companions being beaten up.

Even if Benck Punch had never seen the world, he knew that Arthur in front of him was no ordinary person.

Looking at Shanks' healthy appearance, Arthur always felt something was not harmonious.

Or just look at the adaptation point...

Now in the two-armed form, it really didn't fit in with the image of Shanks in his mind.

"Shanks." Arthur glanced at him and said, "I want to chop off one of your arms for some reason..."

This statement shocked all the members of the Red Hair Pirates.

Shanks was also confused. He stood between two barrels of wine and pointed at his nose in confusion: "Why?"

"I don't know," Arthur continued.

"Let's not do this, Mr. Arthur." In order to talk to Arthur, Shanks moved two barrels of wine to Arthur's side: "I have something I want to talk to you about."

"What's the matter?" Arthur was in a bored mood and was very interested in him.

Shanks' eyes suddenly became sharp. He glanced at Olbia beside him and said, "About the West Sea."

"Xi Hai!" Olbia instantly became interested and looked at Shanks seriously.

"You are going to the West Sea, right? Mr. Arthur." Shanks asked again, and his companions came one after another and sat on the ground behind him.

He listened quietly as the conversation between his captain and Arthur unfolded.

"That's right, send him back for the life-saving favor of a silly woman." Arthur responded.

In fact, he also wanted to see Robin, the future protagonist of the pirate group.

Due to his previous experiences, he had no time to observe the world. Now was a good opportunity for him to take the initiative to meet the navy and the government.

I have been wandering alone for so long, and having a woman on the boat for so many days... doesn't seem like a bad thing.

On this road of growth, you have to find some fun.

"She saved your life?" Shanks was a little surprised and stared at Olbia with sharp eyes.

This made Olbia feel uncomfortable, as if she was being stared at as if she were a harmful substance.

"Is this a coincidence, Mr. Arthur?" Shanks continued, "I recently learned that the navy is mobilizing troops to the West Sea on a large scale. It seems that there will be a big move."

Arthur currently does not know this intelligence from the navy.

However, if things continued like this, he probably understood...

If you don't interfere with historical events, they will all happen one after another as usual...

Arthur just smiled grimly: "What's wrong?"

"This means that if you go to the West Sea, the Navy's next action may escalate the scale of the incident." Shanks expressed his concerns.

If Arthur stepped into the West Sea at this time, countless civilians in the West Sea would fall into dire straits of fear.

The navy’s forced increase in revenue has already led to the people’s livelihood being in dire straits.

Coupled with Arthur's personality of treating everyone as his enemy, it is bound to lead to an unprecedented battle.

"So what?" Hearing Shanks' words, Arthur did not change his tone: "Does their mobilization of troops have anything to do with me?"

"You don't understand what I mean, Mr. Arthur. This will lead to the deaths of countless people!" Shanks raised his voice slightly and picked up the wine glass.

Hearing this, Arthur held his head high and his face became even colder: "As long as I am not the one who dies, it's fine. What can others do to me..."

"You...as the top figure of a faction, don't you care about the overall situation at all?" Shanks was speechless.

It seems that Arthur has no idea how great his reputation and influence are in the pirate world now.

He is the kind of person who is the center of everyone's attention and is second only to one person and above everyone else.

"The current situation, with the irresponsible government and navy insisting on investigating the threat level of O'Hara... has caused the world to fall into the panic of war..."

"Mr. Arthur, you should..."

As Shanks spoke, he unconsciously felt the air and Arthur's eyes, which originally had a hint of luster, turn icy cold.

It was so bright and dazzling that he realized that he seemed to be going too far.

He actually started to teach the person in front of him... He actually wanted to persuade the person in front of him...

Snap...Ben Beckman put a hand on Shanks' shoulder.

Shanks glanced back at him and saw Ben Beckman shaking his head at him.

It was like reminding myself not to say anything more.

"I'm sorry... Mr. Arthur, I have some too much." Shanks raised his glass to apologize: "I'll drink this glass to apologize to you."

"Roger is dead," Arthur suddenly said to Shanks, thinking back to what happened on the Ol Jaxson.

Shanks was taken care of by Roger like his own son, and was given all-round teaching in swordsmanship, domineering, and mental aspects.

"For the sake of our shipmates and Roger, I won't do anything to you... But if you want to teach me how to do things again, I'll teach you a lesson so you'll remember it."

After drinking, he personally refilled Arthur's empty glass.

"Sorry...Mr. Arthur." Shanks drank a glass as punishment and found that he was a little too proud of himself.

"As long as it is the path I want to take, no one can stop me now." Arthur picked up the wine poured by Shanks himself and drank it all in one gulp: "If you want to teach me how to do things, you must first ask yourself if you are qualified."

"Of course." Shanks forced himself to smile at Arthur, "Your strength is so great that no one dares to question it in front of the strongest people in the world, Mr. Arthur."

Shanks agreed with this point very much. The sense of oppression that Arthur brought to him... was heavier than that of anyone else.

Or rather... a sense of death...

"Such a terrible murderous intent is revealed again..." Olbia muttered beside Arthur.

Arthur calmed down a lot after hearing this... and now he doesn't seem to be so violent anymore.

"Then let's talk about... Mr. Rayleigh?" Shanks suddenly changed the subject: "Let's talk about how everyone is doing, and stop talking about those bad things that make you unhappy, Mr. Arthur."

"I want to hear what Bucky is doing," Arthur told him.

"Baki...!" Shanks laughed awkwardly, "I really don't have time to look for him... But, I may go to the East China Sea soon, maybe I can see him there."

PS: A little tip: in the original work, Shanks is really kind-hearted and naive.
