The old man was sitting on the ground, and the old man was sitting on the ground.

Vilmeyou, Central City

Ski led Tren and the other two to his main city. The interior hall of the main city was spacious and solemn, and its layout was like a Japanese-style community gathering place.

Directly opposite the main platform, there were rows of neatly arranged benches, on which sat a group of people dressed in kimonos.

They faced forward, knelt on their knees, and looked solemn, like members participating in some respectful ceremony.

On each small table, there were some red round plates with a small amount of food and sake on them.

The background of the whole scene was a dark red wall, dotted with a few dim patterns.

This picture reveals a solemn and formal atmosphere, which makes people think of a club meeting rather than a banquet...

"Is the banquet like this? Or does someone have to cut off their little finger to apologize?" Looking at the solemn environment, Tren and the other two were all confused, especially him and Li Jing, whose stomachs had been rumbling for a long time.

As Skitren and others pushed open the sliding door, the captains of the Flying Pirates, who were originally kneeling on the ground, cast their eyes.

Their expressions were serious and there was no intention of slacking off. The whole scene was unusually quiet, with only silence and solemn atmosphere.

"Well." Ski looked at his men with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and strode towards the main seat.

At this time, the lights in the banquet hall were bright and dazzling. The long table at the main seat was filled with all kinds of mouth-watering delicacies, and the exquisite gold and silver utensils were shining brightly under the candlelight.

Tren and his companions were deliberately arranged in a very conspicuous position, just below and to the side of Shiki.

Next to them sat Shiki's confidant Indigo and others, and some unidentified cadres surrounded them.

"Today, our Flying Pirates welcome a guest!" Shiki held a wine glass in his hand, looked at Tren sitting opposite him, and said with a faint smile on his face

"He is Captain Tren from the Adventure Group! And his adventure partner!"

After hearing Shiki's introduction, everyone present turned their eyes to Tren and the people around him.

"Adventure Group? What is that?" Someone asked curiously.

"Well... I guess it should be pirates too! It's just that they use another name." Another person guessed.

In fact, most of these pirates under the Golden Lion were recruited by the Golden Lion when it was lurking in the East China Sea in recent years.

Although their strength is not bad, they are guys who went to sea after Roger opened the Age of Exploration, and they don’t know much about "adventurers".

After all, since the Age of Exploration, as time goes by, the title of "adventurer" has gradually been replaced by "pirate".

"It seems that they don't know what adventure is!" Shiqi picked up the wine glass, his eyes fell on Tren who was eating meat, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Tren didn't care about Shiqi's eyes. While chewing the meat in his mouth, he said vaguely: "Do you know what it matters? Anyway, they are all a group of pirates who can't be on the table. However, the food here is quite delicious!"

After that, Tren continued to work hard, eating and drinking with Li Jing beside him. Li Jing also grabbed a big stick of meat in his left hand and ate it with relish.

"Well, I agree with this point." Li Jing echoed, not noticing the flash of displeasure in Shiqi's eyes.

Sadako knelt quietly beside Tren. She didn't need to eat for her own special reasons. At this moment, she was concentrating on holding the wine glass for Tren, fearing that he would choke on the food.

"Can't be on the table..." Shi Ji watched all this silently, with an indescribable depression hidden in the depths of his eyes.

He took a sip of wine lightly, trying to use alcohol to cover up his inner emotions, but the strange feeling was always lingering.

However, Indigo, who knew Shi Ji's purpose, understood his captain's mind, so he held the wine glass and toasted to Tren

"Captain Tren, right? I have heard of your name for a long time!"

Looking at this guy in a white coat, Tren stopped his hand and said with interest: "Then do you know when I was born? What did I do? What achievements have you made?"

"Uh..." Faced with Tren's question, Indigo was stunned. It was not right to drink the wine he raised.

"Tren

Captain Lun, you are joking, how can I..."

"You know nothing, but you have long admired my name, what do you admire?"

[Summon 30%]

"I am rude, haha!" Indigo smiled awkwardly, and then ran to find Li Jing, but Li Jing just ate and ignored him.

After a while, laughter and conversations came one after another in the banquet hall, but Tren could feel the sharpness hidden behind these voices or that their happiness was to cooperate with something.

Especially the golden lion Shiki, he was wearing a gorgeous golden robe, drinking wine by himself, with a strong aura that people dared not look directly at.

Shiki raised his glass to Tren again, and then said in a relaxed tone: "Tren, look at how powerful my Feikong Pirates are now, and there are more than 50 pirate groups under my command.

But I am suffering! As you said, none of them can stand up to the stage..."

"But you are still there, Shiki? "Tren wiped his hands and said calmly.

"What's the use of me? Didn't you say that? I'm already over seventy now, and we old guys from the old times are old." When saying this, a trace of loneliness flashed in the eyes of the Golden Lion.

"Charlotte, that woman, only knows how to hide in her own Wan Guo now. Whitebeard, haha! He probably needs a nurse to take care of him. I heard that Wang Zhi also occupied an island in the New World and became a dictator. Only Kaido is pretty good..."

"You know so much?"

"I'm just lurking, not retiring, haha!"

Tren was also stunned when he heard what Shiki said, especially Shiki who was evenly matched with Li Jing at that time. It was hard to believe that this old-time emperor-level strongman would be defeated by Luffy later.

"So I need you! Tren." Shiki said slowly, "Otherwise, when I really get old, the Flying Pirates will also disperse. "

Tren smiled but didn't say anything, and the Golden Lion didn't ask any more questions.

But as the banquet progressed, Shiki's words gradually took on a hidden threat.

He talked about the power game of the Four Sea Emperors, hinting that if Tren joined his team, he would inherit him, gain endless wealth and power, and become one of the Four Emperors.

But whenever Tren tried to change the subject, Shiki could always cleverly lead the conversation back to recruiting, with a light in his eyes that could not be refused.

"So you're planning to do this!" Tren finally realized that this banquet was nothing more than a carefully planned psychological warfare.

......

As the banquet drew to a close, Shiki invited Tren to stroll alone in the island's garden.

The moonlight sprinkled on the intricate paths, and the shadows of the two stretched in the air filled with the fragrance of flowers.

"Are you really not going to agree? "Shiki's voice was low and magnetic. He had just shown Tren the secret base of the Sky Pirates and the research results of IQ in the night.

"Tren, join me and you will own this sky." Shiki's words were full of temptation. He did not give up. His eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, trying to capture the desire in Tren's eyes.

But Shiki failed. He did not see the ambition or desire in the man's eyes.

"Shiki, I'm really not interested." Tren stared at Shiki's face.

Shiki's face became unpredictable in the moonlight, but he quickly regained his smile, patted Tren's shoulder, and said lightly

"Brave choice, Tren."

As soon as the voice fell, Shiki laughed and left. Roger, who rejected him last time, faced Atwal!
