Looking at Shanks's calm and deep eyes, Buggy stared at him for a while, then turned his head and looked back at the treasure in front of him.

His eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions.

"Shanks, since the disbandment of the Roger Pirates, we have embarked on different paths.

I am living a very happy life now, and I have even become a Seven Warlords of the Sea, with many followers. Their admiration for me is incredible." Buggy said proudly

At the same time, he looked around and saw his companions who were stunned by Shanks' domineering power

"If you hadn't deliberately shown mercy, I'm afraid I would be lying on the ground like them now!" Buggy continued, with a hint of self-mockery in his eyes.

He knew the gap between his strength and Shanks's.

After that, Buggy stared at Shanks's prosthetic limbs and the scar on his chest, and couldn't help sighing: "Although you survived, you also experienced a life-and-death experience at that time, or I have guessed that it was Vice Captain Rayleigh who saved you!

I know that you are a strong person with firm beliefs and an indomitable spirit.

However, I am just an ordinary pirate, without your high ambitions and abilities."

Baki shook his head helplessly: "So, what can you expect me to help you with?" There was a hint of powerlessness in his voice.

Although he and Shanks once had a common past, their status and pursuits are now very different.

"Baki." Shanks said softly, "The pirate group owned by Big Mom Pirates is very large. She has 39 daughters and 46 sons. Excluding some weak and young ones, there are no less than 40 pirate groups that can participate in the war.

Kaido's Beast Pirates should not be underestimated. In addition to the Three Calamities, the Flying Six, and others, he has more than 500 people with abilities who have undergone artificial devil fruit transformation...

But these are not enough, far from enough!

If you want to deal with the Terun Adventure Group, this combat power can't compete with it at all!" At this point, Shanks's face became solemn: "Baki, your Joker Pirate Group has the largest number of people except for the two of them!"

"Shanks!!" Buggy suddenly shouted loudly, "Do you want my brothers to die in vain?! You bastard!!"

"Not only you! By then, the Navy, the World Government, the Revolutionary Army and other forces will be involved!" Shanks responded loudly.

"What do you want to do?! Shanks!" Buggy asked angrily.

"Captain was able to defeat the Rocks Pirates in the Valley of the Gods and successfully killed Rocks.

Why can't I do the same thing?" Shanks said with a firm look in his eyes, and at the same time drew out the [Ace] from the two swords on his waist.

"..." Looking at Shanks, Buggy was silent, especially the flashing cold light of [Ace] made him feel a little scared.

"Although I didn't participate in the battle of the Valley of the Gods, at least I know that Captain Roger can contain Rocks, but Shanks you..." At this point, Buggy paused, and then continued: "You were just an intern at the time, and your strength should not be strong enough to compete with Rocks."

After saying this, Buggy stopped talking, after all, everyone present understood the meaning.

Tren hits you like a child!

Shanks didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, he slowly raised his eyes, looked at Buggy and said, "If you are willing to help me, then I will help you too."

After hearing this, Buggy frowned even more tightly and asked in confusion, "How do you want me to help you?"

Shanks smiled slightly and said lightly, "I need your pirate group."

Baki shook his head and refused immediately, "No! It's absolutely impossible to let my people die in vain."

Shanks seemed to have expected Buggy to answer like this, so he threw out another condition: "I got the news that the member countries of the World Government are very dissatisfied with the system of the Seven Warlords. If I am not wrong, the World Conference next year will abolish the Seven Warlords system."

Baki's face changed after hearing this, and he said in surprise, "Masaka..."

He knew very well the benefits that the identity of the Seven Warlords brought him. If he lost this identity, he would face a lot of trouble.

Shanks saw that Buggy was wavering, and then said: "If you don't do something now, you will be nothing when the Seven Warlords of the Sea system is abolished."

Baki fell into deep thought, wondering whether what Shanks said was credible.

At this time, Shanks limped forward, his eyes firm and deep.

He slowly said: "I need a certain amount of power to negotiate with other guys now. If your Joker Pirates help me, I will make you one of the Four Emperors after this." Hearing this, Buggy's eyes widened.He closed his eyes, and a surge of excitement and desire surged in his heart.

"Four Emperors!!" Buggy murmured to himself, with incredible excitement in his voice. His pupils stared at Shanks, as if he wanted to deeply engrave this promise in his mind.

For Buggy, becoming one of the Four Emperors means endless glory, power and wealth, and a firm foothold in the New World.

This is the position that every pirate dreams of, and now Shanks has extended an olive branch to them.

Shanks looked at Buggy quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he had already expected Buggy's reaction.

"You are still the captain of the Buggy Pirates. Hongo and I just join your pirate group and serve as bargaining chips for negotiations with other forces."

"You join my pirate group..." Buggy did not agree immediately. He knew that there might be huge risks behind Shanks' proposal.

Shanks was not in a hurry. He believed that Buggy would make the right choice in the end.

After all, he had been silently paying attention to Buggy's rise from the beginning. From teaching Luffy to all the subsequent events, everything was under his control.

Even the fact that Buggy inherited the Red Hair Pirates' pirate group was personally arranged by him to be handled by Hongo.

Today, his Red Hair Pirates no longer exist, and his once trusted partners have also suffered misfortunes: Beckman was crippled by Dragon Servant Thor, Jesus Bu was shot, Laqilu had his hands cut off, Lime Jones and Gabu were captured, Bendick, Punch and Zed died on the battlefield.

Except for Hongo, he almost lost all his capable men.

But if the Joker Pirates can join forces with Shanks, the situation will be very different!

Don't underestimate the deterrence of the Great Pirate Group. Even the World Government or the Navy dare not take it lightly in the face of such a powerful force.

After all, not every group is the Troon Adventure Group.

And now Buggy's Great Pirate Group and its many pirate groups will undoubtedly become Shanks' biggest help.

To put it bluntly, it's a typical case of getting something for nothing!
