Rogers and Whitebeard both owe me a favor
Shen Bao didn't know that two super pirates who would be world-renowned in the future had already set their sights on him, but he had already started running away.
Those who often do evil will be punished. If the miserable appearance of Mr. Shen Bao, No. 9527, were to be made known to the bidders at the auction, it would surely bring great joy and satisfaction to all, with everyone cheering!
"It's true that heaven can forgive, but one cannot escape the consequences of their own actions!" Shěn Bǎo cried. It was all because he had been too proud and reckless earlier, shouting out an extremely high price of 4 billion, without thinking that others would turn the tables on him. What made things worse was that the image he had created for himself was so realistic and excellent that the auction organizers completely trusted his character, sending Adam's wood to his ship ahead of time.
How can this be good!
Now running to the front of the house, crying and saying: Sorry, we don't want this wood anymore, we came to make trouble, actually the money is not enough!
Please... This auction is almost entirely sponsored by several of the world's most powerful merchant guilds. If we actually go and tell them the truth, admit our mistake, not to mention the fact that the final item didn't sell, how are these merchants who value their reputation supposed to save face? For them, this is even more serious than being stepped on, insulted and told they're not men!
It really was helpless, so the treasure was sent to Fishman Tom's place by Adam's lumber, and wanted to leave Water City overnight. After all, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. Neither the Merchant Alliance nor the Navy would have thought that the pirates did not carry the treasure with them, but left it on the original island.
Under the dark night, a group of people with strange and suspicious behavior are on their way.
"Keep your voices down, we're running for our lives!" The leader lowered his voice and shouted back. Under the faint starlight, Captain Shen's anxious expression was evident. Wasn't this the same poor guy who was about to flee for his life?
"Others are already being very quiet, it's all because of these two big guys, walking like an earthquake, boom boom boom!" Little Lori complained.
Indeed. The warriors of the giant tribe are naturally incompatible with thieves, and no matter what they do, the sound they make is 100 times that of ordinary humans! Although Qing and Chi, the two ghosts, had done their best to reduce the sound of their heavy footsteps, it was still deafening.
"Sorry!" The two big guys blushed and apologized in a low voice. In an instant, the entire island of Mizu no Miyako echoed: Sorry... sorry...
A black line on the forehead of the precious treasure.
"Never mind." The battered Shen Bao said helplessly, "Let's change our plan, speed up and don't expose ourselves, rush back to the boat immediately!"
"Hoo-hoo-hoo..." The two giants were delighted and took off in big strides, running wildly. Boom boom boom... The continuous earth-shaking sound woke up the residents of Mizu no Miyo who were sleeping soundly in their beds. The angry residents all started cursing, wondering which good-for-nothing was banging on the drum.
Shen Bao and his party rushed towards the merchant ship amidst this unique "send-off".
"Hahaha, being able to make a big deal out of even running away, pirates like that are rare indeed!" Just then, Sanbao ran to the dock where the merchant ship was berthed, and from the shadow under the hull came such a hearty laugh.
"Huh? You are! You're the Pirate King Roger!" Shunbao was shocked, almost blurting out "Pirate King" in his astonishment. He hadn't not thought about recruiting Roger under him, but unfortunately, their strengths were vastly different; if he wasn't careful, the moment he absorbed Roger's Soul Crystal, he would instantly explode and die.
"Haha, young pirate fellow, since you know me, why not make a deal? The future Pirate King Roger slowly walked out of the shadow of the merchant ship and said with a smile, "You sell me the Adam wood in your hand, and I'll give you treasures, Berries, and treasure maps of equivalent value. Plus, I owe you a favor, how about it?"
"What? The Pirate King owes me a favor! This is a great deal!" Xīn Bǎo was overjoyed when he heard this, and just as he was about to agree, a loud laugh suddenly came from the other direction of the dock.
"Why is it popular now to start with a loud laugh?" Shen Bao turned his head around, took one look at the person who came, and was stunned again.
White beard!
This man, who had been on par with Roger in his youth and became the undisputed Pirate King after Roger's death, left a deep impression on Shanks. After all, when Shanks read about it, the Pirate King was already dead, but Whitebeard, despite needing intravenous therapy due to his physical decline, was indeed the undisputed Pirate King. The kind of fearlessness, facing any approaching threat head-on, still lingers in Shanks' heart.
But now, the white beard under the starlight is still very young. After all, it's been nearly 39 years since Luffy set sail, and this is a white beard without an IV drip, a majestic and unparalleled white beard!
"So you're also here for Adam's lumber, eh? Whitebeard!" Jinbao's eyes were fixed intently on this idol, his heart filled with excitement.
"No mistake, young one. I've come to get the Adam Wood before Roger does." The white-haired man spoke as bluntly as ever, and he also appreciated this fish-man youth who was 5 or 6 years younger than him, a pirate who could truly face his aura - there weren't many in this world.
Shinobu's head hurts, this is truly a difficult choice. If Adam's wood is given to Roger, he will offend Whitebeard; if Whitebeard is chosen, he will make an enemy of the future Pirate King.
What's worse, Adam's lumber is no longer in his hands, but if he were to speak the truth, he'd likely be misunderstood as being cowardly and timid, and looked down upon by Roger and Whitebeard.
Thinking of this, Shen Bao had no choice but to retreat and said decisively: "Adam's wood is not for sale, but I can give you some advice as a favor. The owner of Tom's workshop on this island, Shipwright Tom, is the best shipbuilder I've ever seen, and he's also my crew member (Tom: I object! When did I become your crew member?!). He also has a share of Adam's wood. That's all I have to say, goodbye!"
After finishing speaking, Shen Bao ignored the wild and unruly white beard, didn't care about Roger who seemed to be stunned, and also ignored the sparkling eyes of the little loli who admired him, and silently walked into the merchant ship.
As soon as he entered the captain's cabin, he ordered to set sail immediately and dismissed everyone. He lay down on the soft bed in the captain's cabin, his palms were all cold sweat, and his heart was pounding loudly. The momentum of the white beard was not so easy to resist, the gap between their strengths was too great, several times it made Shen Bao's knees weak and almost fell to the ground.
However, relying on his past life's memories, he was certain that these two men standing at the pinnacle of the world were both unparalleled heroes with grand bearings, not petty individuals who nitpicked. Therefore, risking his life, he made a bet, betting that by ignoring the two, he would be able to escape smoothly from this place. The stake was his own life, and the wager was his head!
He won the bet!
