A few minutes later, the two met at the beach.

"Boss, when do we start?" Qi changed back into the white sweater. Now he should be called Wu Liuqi. He seemed to have no idea what happened. He was standing there holding the magic knife.

Xia En noticed that the blood on his face had been wiped clean.

"So that's why you asked me to meet at the beach." Xia En glanced at the blood-red sea surface somewhere, where a scarlet black coat was floating.

Qi didn't want Wu Liuqi to know that he had killed someone, so he went to the beach to clean up the traces in advance.

Was it simply because he didn't want to, or for protection?

"Ah? Didn't you, boss, let me stay here?" Wu Liuqi looked confused and took out a note from his trouser pocket.

It said: Just stand here and wait.

His memory stayed at the time when he and Xia En put on night clothes and set off. He didn't know whether he was distracted or something, but he was conscious that he was standing at the beach with a note in his hand.

He thought it was left for him by Xia En.

"Well, it's okay. The money is in hand, and I have killed the person. We can go back." Since Qi didn't want to tell him, Xia En certainly wouldn't act on his own. As a captain, he took the blame.

He originally asked Qi to keep the name of Red Dragon, and then the outside world would think that he killed the Tianlong.

And the reason why he killed and left his name was certainly not because he was mentally ill. On the one hand, he promised Xia Qi that he would not let his behavior implicate the residents of this island.

On the other hand, it was a test. He wanted to see how Yimu and the Five Elders would behave after he blatantly killed the Tianlong.

If this matter was suppressed and not let outsiders know, it would prove that they were indeed afraid of Kanna and had no means to defeat Kanna.

If the evil deeds of Red Dragon were widely publicized and people were sent to find his traces, it might prove that Yimu was sure to deal with Kanna.

If it is the former, Shane will have no scruples in sailing in the future, go wherever he wants, punch Big Mom and kick Kaido, and then talk to Red Hair about face, and be free.

If it is the latter, Shane will try his best to hide his identity, keep a low profile, and mainly sail and travel, see the natural scenery, experience the local customs, and don't do anything that can easily expose his identity.

Until Luffy goes to sea again two years later, after the identity of the sun god Nika is exposed, Im will definitely take the enemy as the main target, and will not care about Shane.

As soon as he returned to the shipyard, he was caught by Kagura.

"Such a strong smell of blood." Kagura wrinkled his nose and looked straight at Wu Liuqi.

The sense of smell of the night rabbit is different from that of ordinary people, especially the smell of blood.

"I didn't do it, it was all done by the boss alone." Wu Liuqi was stared at and his body was numb, and he betrayed Shane in a blink of an eye.

"Hmm?" Kagura raised her eyebrows and looked at Shane in surprise. Her eyes were full of doubt and contempt.

"I did it. My hands were a little itchy, so I killed someone in the middle of the night for fun." Shane joked, but he couldn't help laughing.

"You're lying. You only smell like money, not blood." Kagura curled her lips and ignored this guy who was talking nonsense.

But her peripheral vision swept over Shane's body from time to time, secretly checking if he had any injuries.

Seeing this, Shane raised the corners of his mouth, opened his arms and turned around in front of her, letting her take a closer look.

"What's in your box?" Kagura found the small wooden box in Shane's pocket.

"A devil fruit, it seems to be an animal fruit."

"Devil fruit? Oh, will it turn into a big dinosaur like Drake if you eat it?" Kagura looked curious and reached out to grab the box, but Shane grabbed her hand.

He knew that if the box was opened and the fruit was seen, Kagura would eat it immediately.

He had to take precautions first.

"It tastes like shit. If you eat it, you will become a landlubber and will never be able to swim in the sea. Even taking a bath will make you lose your strength!"

Kagura's outstretched hand trembled after a series of words, especially after hearing that taking a bath would make you lose your strength, her face turned pale with fear.

She loved taking a bath, and begged Shane to buy her a super large bathtub before the boat was repaired.

"Boss, how do you know it tastes like shit?" Wu Liuqi discovered the blind spot and looked at Shane with a complicated expression.

In his understanding, people who can say that two tastes are the same have tasted at least one of them, and Shane is not a devil fruit ability user...

"You don't think I've eaten that, do you!" Shane's forehead was exposed with veins, and he slapped the boy on the back of the head, making Wu Liuqi see stars.

Seeing Kagura's equally complicated expression again, he felt he had to explain."That guy Luffy said that! You know, he is the user of the rubber fruit ability."

At this time.

"Brother Shane, come on board!" Klee's voice came from the harbor.

Shane and the others looked up and saw a large sailing ship with a red body, a dragon head at the bow, and a bubble film all over the body. The ship was 65 meters long (for reference: Wanli Sunshine is 56 meters).

Klee was standing on the railing on the side of the ship near the coast. She was about the same height as the railing. If Shane had not had good eyesight and she was waving constantly, it would be difficult to see her and the chicken at her feet.

A few minutes later.

"It's so wide, it feels like you can skateboard on it." Wu Liuqi looked at the large deck that was empty except for the mast and sighed.

"Are you really not afraid of sliding into the sea?" Shane smiled. He looked at everything on the ship carefully, just like the first time he moved in when he rented a house. The feeling was even stronger than that day.

Smooth deck, tall mast, tightened sail, steering wheel beside the mast, rudder rope at the edge of the ship, three-story cabin...

Kanna was sitting on the window sill of the cabin on the third floor and waved at him.

"Shane, are we going to set off?" Her voice reached his heart.

"Yeah." Shane nodded.

At this time.

Drake walked out of the cabin, and when he came to the deck, he stared at Shane and Wu Liuqi with a serious look.

Just now, he received a message from the navy.

——"Red Dragon" Shane appeared on Shabaodi Island, killed the Celestial Dragon Luo Charles and his bodyguards and escaped.

After the banquet, Shane and Wu Liuqi were not there, and the time of the crime was exactly the same.

"What order did the navy give you?" Shane noticed his eyes, and without surprise, motioned him to follow him to the corner of the side of the ship, and gently stroked the railing with his hand.

The sea breeze blew past, and his face was cool and comfortable. Shane liked the feeling of being on the sea.

"No, it's strange. There is no news from Mr. Kizaru. The Navy Government has indeed sent troops there, but has not issued an order to hunt you down."

Drake looked puzzled. Last time, Straw Hat Luffy beat up a Celestial Dragon at the auction house, but he did not kill him, so he immediately attracted the general.

This time, Shane and Wu Liuqi directly killed a Celestial Dragon, but the Navy's movement was calm. Shouldn't it be the thunderous rage he imagined?

"Sure enough, but it's trouble after all. Let's go to Fishman Island first." Hearing this, Shane nodded as expected. After a little thought, he looked up at the stairs down the staircase.

At this time, with the sound of footsteps, Old Neil, the director of the shipyard, and a group of shipwrights who were drunk at the previous banquet came to the ship one after another.

"Brother Shane, I'll leave Old Neil's matter to you!"

Under Shane's surprised gaze, the factory director and a group of shipbuilders bowed to him in unison, some of them even almost buried their heads on the deck, their voices trembling and earnest.

"You...you guys..."

Old Neil was so shocked that he couldn't speak. The expression on his face changed from confusion to surprise, and then to emotion, and two lines of hot tears flowed down.

It turned out that they had always known.
