Vol 4 Chapter 82: Shanks' request

After the wind and rain cleared, the Golden Jackson traveled far away.
The injured crew members sought Kurox for treatment one after another, and the crew members had unconditional trust in this superb medical doctor.
The battle with Shiji was not without casualties. On the contrary, there were many casualties on Roger's ship, and even nearly ten crew members were killed in the sea.
This is commonplace for pirates, but when their bodies were thrown into the sea, many of their companions still couldn't help crying.
For the pirate, the most unbearable is the betrayal of the companion, and the death of the companion is probably the second.
But as a pirate who traverses this sea, there are certain things that we have to face.
"Hey, no matter how many times the companion leaves this kind of thing, it is always impossible for people to get used to it." Standing on the bow of the boat, Lei Li said with emotion.
By his side, Roger and Xuan stood side by side.
"It was my captain's dereliction of duty and failed to protect them." Roger also sighed softly.
Xuan silently watched, without expressing his own opinions.
After the simple ceremony is over, it is to deal with some other trivial matters, which have always been handed over to Raleigh.
In the evening, with the first loud laughter, the warm banquet officially began.
Driving on the sea, these pirates can open a banquet for any reason or reason. Only at this time can they sing and enjoy presumptuously, and can they also feel the meaning of becoming a pirate.
Of course, Roger would not give up this rare opportunity, entangled Xuan wanting his hip flask, but in desperation Xuan could only fill him with ten pokes full of wine. As for the hip flask, don't even think about it.
The pirates began to get a little drunk as the glass of wine was consumed. Especially when they drank the wine in the profound treasure, they became more drunk.
It was a fine wine used to worship the gods in the golden age, and a fine wine that can only be enjoyed by the gods.
As a result, in the drunken atmosphere, many pirates began to brag about their heroic achievements during the day, such as how many enemies of the Golden Lion Pirates group were killed, and which famous pirates fought a battle.
Bucky retrieved his right arm, but he still didn't know where he went. He even suspected that his body had been thrown into the sea in the chaos, drinking a cup of wine, and crying in place.
Roger laughed and watched this scene. Laughter and enthusiasm can dilute the sadness. He was already three-point drunk and turned to Xuan Dao, "By the way, why did you come to my boat suddenly? I remember when I was in Chambord. I invited you, but you refused!"
Xuan Ruxiang picked up a large piece of barbecue and threw it directly into his mouth vaguely, "Well, I had something to go to Mary Joa to do at the time, and now I am going to Love Drew, which happened to be our way."
If someone else hears such a thing, they will laugh at the person who speaks it. Ravdrew, the final point of the great waterway, who had never been reached before, seemed to him as a trivial place, just for the reason of passing along.
Roger did not doubt the authenticity of this sentence, especially since it was said by Xuan. He laughed and said, "Xuan, do you believe that I can become the One Piece?"
Or was Lei awake and turned his head and asked, "Hyun, do you want to be the One Piece?"
"No interest. The One Piece is destined to belong to Roger. I'm going to Love Drew for other business."
Faced with Xuan's answer, Roger was undoubtedly happier. The glass was filled with wine and touched Xuan, "Hahaha, then we will be companions, come and do this glass of wine!"
"Companion?" Xuan's gaze was faint, and he picked up the wine glass and met him. "You'd better treat me as a way forward. The word "companion" is not a casual comment."
Roger had already drunk the wine in one gulp and said with a smile, "As long as they are on my boat and have not been driven off by me, they are my companions."
Shaking his head, Xuan no longer argued. Companion is a companion, you just want to be happy.
At this moment, Shanks came up, seeing his appearance a little nervous, first nodded to Roger and Raleigh, "Captain, Mr. Raleigh!"
"Oh, it's Shanks, come for a drink." Roger laughed and forced the glass to Shanks. He took it reluctantly and drank it in one gulp.
"Hahaha, Shanks has this kind of drink when he is so old, and his future is absolutely limitless." Roger said excitedly.
Returning the wine glass, Shanks cautiously bowed to Xuan, "Mr. Xuan, can you get rid of you?"
"Oh?" Looking at one of the future Four Emperors, Xuan smiled, "Let's talk about it."
Shanks was still young, and among all the pirates on the ship, except Bucky, he was probably the youngest.
But in him, there is a light that cannot be concealed. Somewhat similar to Roger, but different, he has more vigor.
Or it can be called something of hope.
There is no doubt that Shanks is also an air transporter in this world.
"Mr. Xuan, please guide me in my practice." Shanks bowed respectfully.
"Huh?" Xuan showed a funny expression, glanced at Leily and Roger and said, "Why come to me suddenly? It stands to reason that you should not lack a teacher."
Raleigh smiled and said, "Roger and I have nothing to teach him. Shanks' talent is the best I have ever seen. Only he knows how far he can grow now. But if you are willing to guide Xuan, I believe it will help him a lot."
"Really!" Xuan whispered, turning his gaze on Shanks again, "Then, what's your reason for becoming stronger?"
Shanks still maintained a respectful appearance, and did not hesitate to say, "I dream of becoming a strong man like the captain one day. The pirate is the freest person in this sea. I want to be such a person. Having enough strength is my lifelong dream. Moreover, I want to protect my companions. I don’t want anyone on this ship to be sunk to the bottom of the sea because of my lack of strength.

"Very good." Xuan said briefly, and then smiled, "If I remember correctly, you should be a swordsman, right."..
