One Piece: Dark Sky

"Xihai's wine...it doesn't seem to be very good!"

Whitebeard took a large wine jug thrown up by Shanks, pulled out the cork and asked, but said in distaste.

Shanks smiled and said.

"I have swam the seas of the world... There is no better wine than this..."

"Try the bars in my hometown."

At this time, a third voice came from the environment where the two were alone.

"Oh? Then why don't you give me a drink too."

When the white beard and red hair heard the voice, they immediately looked over vigilantly, but what they saw was a familiar face.

"Well, Bahn, why are you here."

Whitebeard looked at Bahn who suddenly appeared on his boat with some novelty and said.

"Ah, Mr. Bahn, you're here too, and I'll pour you a glass right now."

Shanks smiled when he saw Barn's arrival, took out the huge wine cup that was originally intended for Whitebeard, and poured a full glass.

Bahn came down from the rail of the boat, took the wine in Shanks' hand, and took a few steps back before sitting down.

White Beard didn't speak, he was addicted to alcohol, he didn't want to delay the fine wine in his hand, he directly raised the jug and took a big gulp into his mouth.

"Well, it's okay."

Barn and Shanks also drank the wine in their hands.

Bahn wiped the spilled wine, smiled at Shanks, and said.

"Very good wine."

Shanks smiled and said.

"As long as you like it."

At this moment, Whitebeard's voice came over.

"I feel that the breath on your body is weak, what happened? Barn."

Bahn turned his head to look at White Beard, but said with a smile.

"Ah, I just ran from Navy Headquarters."

"...!"

Whitebeard and Shanks were silent for a while when they heard Bahn's voice, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Guhahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"It seems that Karp and Sengoku have suffered a lot again, hahahaha."

Whitebeard laughed and said.

Shanks also looked at Bahn with a smile.

"It's really you, Mr. Barn."

"The last time I received the news that you came to the New World, why didn't you come to sit on my boat?"

With a smile on his face, Whitebeard asked Bahn, who was also grinning.

"Forehead……"

Hearing what White Beard said, Bane was a little embarrassed. The last time he came to the New World, he came to deal with Doflamingo’s affairs. Later, he met Kaido, who was also the Four Emperors. After a big fight, he left the New World. In the world, there is no time to get together with his old friend, but Bahn naturally won't explain this to Whitebeard, he just smiled and said.

"Ah, I came to deal with some things that time, and I left after the things were done. I didn't have time."

After speaking, Bahn's eyes became a little softer, he looked at the infusion tubes full of white beard and said.

"Newgate, you are getting old."

White Beard's eyes dimmed, but he laughed and said.

"It's not like everyone is like you. I won't grow old. I'm a human being, so I have to accept the laws of nature. Isn't it normal to get old, hahahaha!"

Although Whitebeard said so, Bane and Shanks both knew that Whitebeard was still very unwilling, but even so, Whitebeard's title of being the strongest man in the world is still unshakable!

After laughing out loud, White Beard fell into silence, his eyes became softer, more reminiscing, and he only listened to what he said.

"Roger...Karp...Sengoku...Barne...and that Shiki...There are not many people who understand the sea at that time!"

White Beard let out a sigh of relief, but said with a tight hand holding the hip flask.

"Twenty-two years have passed... No wonder."

With that said, White Beard raised the wine in his hand again and took a sip.

Yes, time is ruthless, this man who once stood at the top of the world, although his position is still unshakable and his ambition is not old, but now his body can't hold on, and he can only barely maintain it by relying on medicine.

Wiping the wine spilling from the corner of his mouth, the white beard's eyes softened a bit, looked at Shanks sitting in front of him, and said.

"You climb pretty fast too!"

"I was just a trainee kid on Roger's boat..."

"I have often fought with Roger's ship, and we are familiar with each other. Is the funny red nose with you dead?"

Hearing what Whitebeard said, Shanks' tiger eyes softened, and said.

"Bucky...I really miss those days..."

Just listen to what Shanks said.

"On the day the captain was executed, after parting ways with him in Rogge Town, there was no news about him. It is said that he is still a pirate."

And at this time Bane also said with a smile.

"That funny red-nosed Bucky, he is indeed still a pirate now, but he is far less famous than you. He was beaten away by my apprentice a few days ago."

"Guhahaha! It's really useless, that kid."

Hearing Bahn's words, Whitebeard laughed and said.

Shanks also smiled, and asked Bahn.

"Mr. Bahn's apprentice? Why haven't I heard of it? It stands to reason that he should be very famous."

Bahn smiled and said.

"He was beaten to the ground by one of my apprentices. His name is Luffy. I often hear him talking about you."

The smile on Shanks' face became more obvious, only to hear him say with a smile.

"Haha! That kid Luffy actually defeated Bucky, he is already a qualified pirate! Haha!"

Saying that, Shanks involuntarily grabbed the only remaining sleeve on the left side of his body.

White Beard noticed this and only listened to him.

"To me, these things are just a flick of a finger. Now there are many people who continue to write legends. The duel between you and Hawkeye is still like another day to me."

"However, I'm very curious. People like you would lose an arm in the East China Sea. Everyone was dumbfounded."

"What kind of person took it away, your left arm..."

Hearing what Whitebeard said, Shanks was silent for a moment, and said.

"This... I bet it on the new era!"

Saying that, Shanks scratched the shoulder that had lost his left arm, but a smile appeared on his face.

White Beard didn't speak, but took a sip of wine silently, and at this time Bahn said.

"Hey, hey, you two don't get together just to get nostalgic, right? I still want to find out something."

Hearing Bahn's words, Shanks also smiled, but said to Whitebeard.

"Yeah, I'm not here for nostalgia."

Saying that, he put down the wine cup in his hand, stretched out a finger with the only remaining hand, pointed to the three hideous scars on his left eye and said.

"White Beard, I have experienced hundreds of battles and suffered numerous injuries, but this is the only thing that still makes me move faintly..."

"This wound was neither from the adventure, nor from Hawkeye. It was your subordinate, Blackbeard, Tiki, who left me with such a wound!"

Whitebeard frowned, but didn't speak, only listening to Shanks continue.

"I didn't care at the time, you know what I mean, Whitebeard, he has been waiting for the opportunity, neither fighting for the captain's position, nor improving his reputation, but has been hiding in the shadow of the banner of Whitebeard under!"

"When he gains power, he will act. His ultimate goal is the highest point! Rely on his own will!"

"He will come and take your seat one day!"

At this time Bane also said aloud.

"I met Tiqi in Magic Valley Town. He impressed me very much. Although I couldn't see it at that time, I could feel that he is a full-fledged careerist!"

Hearing Shanks' words, Bahn thought of the man who had already clenched his fists against him in Magic Valley Town, but finally chose to endure.

"..."

Whitebeard was silent for a while when he heard what Shanks and Bahn said, then he took a sip of wine into his mouth and said.

"Then what do you want me to do? I'm afraid this is the purpose of your trip."

Whitebeard looked at Shanks in front of him and asked.

But Shanks's face at this time is extremely serious, only to hear him say in a deep voice.

"Call Ace back!"
