One Piece_ Rampant Volcano

Sakaski was in a trance while watching…

Time has left traces on Vegapunk that everyone has to experience this kind of thing.

Only then did Sakaski realize that it had been nearly twenty years since the arrest.

I have reached the age where I want to call myself an old man…

Then he shook his head and smiled:

“Then you’d better pay more attention to rest.”

“By the way, where should I send this material?”

Behind Sakaski, four soldiers carried a bed-like device.

Inside is Boya Hancock who has become a vegetable.

“Send it to Research Institute 1, the Pacifist Project Team.”

After speaking, Vegapunk walked forward and looked through the glass on the device:

“Hmm…it doesn’t seem to be as powerful as you said.”

“Although it is very beautiful, it is not enough to turn people into stone.”

Sakaski walked over and opened the lid:

“That’s because of the sea floor stone.”

As he spoke, he took away the sea tower stone chain that was pressing on him.

Vegapunk’s expression changed instantly, and his body felt involuntarily…

“Put it down quickly!”

Sakaski smiled and casually dropped the sea tower stone chain:

“how do you feel.”

Bega Punk looked serious:

“terrible.”

“Personally, I think my willpower is pretty strong.”

“But this involuntary feeling…”

“hiss–”

“But…you are quite powerful.”

“No mercy.”

Vegapunk looked at Boya Hancock’s obviously twisted and disabled limbs and shook his head…

Sakaski smiled without saying anything, waved, and asked several soldiers to carry him into the research institute.

Seeing Boya Hancock being carried away by the soldiers, Bega Punk frowned as he stood there.

Sakaski was a little confused:

“What’s wrong.”

Vegapunk shook his head:

“nothing…..”

“I just suddenly had a new idea.”

“People have always chosen to eat devil fruits unilaterally.”

“But why is this sweet fruit ability user so powerful?”

“Every devil fruit has its own adapted group of people.”

“If eaten by the right person, the Devil Fruit’s power will be maximized.”

“According to the records in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.”

“And the information I found on some of the former ability users of Sweet Fruit.”

“But none of them can achieve such an effect…”

Vegapunk seemed to be in a daze:

“For example, let the strong ones eat the tiger fruit, and the weak ones eat the mouse fruit.”

“If you eat the sweet fruit that is very beautiful…”

“The bonus of talent…”

“That’s right! That’s right!!!”

“That’s it!!!”

“Hahahahaha!”

After opening up a new idea, countless inspirations burst out instantly:

“Sorry, Sakaski!”

“I’ll leave first!!!”

Sakaski thoughtfully:

“It’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

Seeing Vegapunk running wildly, Sakaski thought of something:

“Joy boy…happy boy…”

This is the forbidden fruit of a certain government, the key to awakening and becoming Joyboy…

Sakaski chuckled:

“But…it doesn’t matter anymore.”

When the plan succeeds, no one can escape.

No one can escape.

All must die! ! ! ! !

A few days later.

East China Sea, Windmill Village.

Luffy stood on the port and looked at the busy red-haired pirates:

“You have to leave.”

Shanks’ cloak at this time covered his left arm, and he held the sword at his waist with his right hand and sighed:

“yes.”

“I have stayed in this stronghold for a long time, and it’s time to say goodbye.”

“You will be lonely from now on.”

Luffy turned his head away:

“It will be lonely.”

“But I won’t ask you to take me with you again.”

“I decided to become a pirate on my own!”

The corners of Shanks’ lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly made a face at Luffy:

“Slightly~~~!”

“That’s because I won’t take you away anyway.”

“And, just you?”

“You can be a pirate!”

“Ha ha ha ha.”

Luffy clenched his hands into fists and shouted:

“certainly!!!”

“One day, I will gather a group of partners who are as good as you.”

“Find the world’s greatest treasure.”

”

Become the Pirate King! ! ! ”

Shanks looked at the boy who inspired to become the Pirate King:

“That’s it…”

“Then…this hat will be left to you for safekeeping first.”

Putting the straw hat on Luffy’s head:

“This is a very important hat to me.”

“Cherish it.”

“When you become a great pirate.”

“Give it back to me again.”

Luffy, under the straw hat, let out a choked ‘Yeah’.

Tears kept falling to the ground.

Shanks smiled, turned around and walked onto the ship:

“Ya Le Damou!!!”

“set sail!!!”

In the farewell with laughter, everyone waved goodbye to Luffy.

Luffy didn’t dare to look at the crowd, so he could only hide his face with his straw hat.

Until the red-haired pirates’ ship completely disappeared into the sea.

Only then did Luffy dare to take off his straw hat, revealing his red eyes and face full of reluctance:

“I will definitely do it, Shanks!!!”

Screaming to the deserted sea…

——

evening.

Unknown waters, red-haired pirates.

There is nothing more important than eating, and everyone is eating, drinking and having fun in the banquet hall.

The loud laughter even scares the birds away.

At the stern guardrail of the Red Forth’s deck, Shanks looked in the direction of Windmill Village and remained silent for a long time.

Ben Beckman walked out of the cabin:

“I knew you were here.”

He walked next to Shanks and pressed his elbows on the guardrail:

“call–”

A smoke ring slowly appeared, and Beckman turned to look at Shanks:

“Why do this?”

“does it worth?”

Shanks smiled and said:

“What’s it worth?”

Beckman said:

“Don’t play dumb, I’m talking about your arm.”

Shanks pressed his right hand on the broken arm, and there was still a dull pain:

“Of course…..”

“I put everything on ‘it’.”

“We will meet again in the new world…”

Beckman didn’t hear the difference between ‘it’ and ‘he’:

“Although I agree with Luffy.”

“But I don’t think that just this will allow you to spare an arm.”

“What are you hiding…”

Shanks suddenly interrupted him and pulled him towards the cabin:

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Anyway, there will be a day when the answer will be revealed.”

“Would you like to make a bet? I bet I will win.”

“How about the bet is that bottle of wine you treasure!!!”

“Hahahahaha.”

Despite Beckman’s struggles:

“Hey, hey, all the cigarettes have fallen out!”

Pull him into the cabin…

No one knows what Shanks is thinking, not even Beckman, who is closest to him.

Before entering the cabin.

Shanks took one last look in the direction of Windmill Village.

If the will really resides in it as described in the record, then he may have been affected unknowingly.

That’s why I kept struggling and didn’t eat the fruit.

It’s because ‘it’ didn’t choose me…

if that is the case……

Shanks turned to look at the cabin.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

“Ya Le Damou!”

“There’s a party!!!”
