"This pattern..." Shanks was lost in thought as he stared at the Kozuki family crest on Yuyuko's left back shoulder.
Compared with the emblem on the back of the Hailou Stone Pendant, the family emblem on Yuyuko's left shoulder is actually just a circle with four extended tentacles on its periphery, but to others, this insignificant complement is actually The final piece of the puzzle that builds someone else’s memory.
The emblem that was just absolutely familiar brought many scenes to Shanks' mind.
However, Shanks still didn't remember what this emblem represented.
After all, when a person recalls a thing, the first thing he extracts is the individual content in his mind about the thing that caused his recollection. If he wants to recall and associate the people or things associated with this thing, he needs subsequent brain thinking series.
After a few seconds of silence, Shanks' mind finally settled on a man's face.
The former captain of Whitebeard's Second Division and the special crew member of the later Pirate King Gol D. Roger... Kozuki Goten, a charismatic samurai from a wealthy family in Wano Country.
In his memory, someone inadvertently asked him what the meaning of the icon on the back of his clothes was when he and Kozuki Goten were on the voyage to the end of the Grand Line, Ravdru.
At that time, Kozuki Goten, who had an upright personality, smiled proudly, "This is a condensed family history. It is an inheritance of faith and will."
In fact, the people on the One Piece ship did not pay much attention to Kozuki Goden, because judging from the situation at the time, the reason why Captain Roger invited Kozuki Goden may be the same as inviting Ohara from O'Hara. Villa's purpose is similar.
Because Roger once vaguely revealed that the creator of the historical text was the ancestor of the Kozuki family.
After remembering these dusty past events, Shanks looked at Yuyuko with even more confusion.
The fact that Kozuki Goten left the Whitebeard Pirates and boarded Roger's ship was actually relatively secret. Unless some crew members spread it around, the information about Kozuki Goten who boarded the ship just before the start of the final voyage would not be spread at all.
After the final voyage, Kozuki Goden did not follow them back, but returned directly to his own country when passing through Wano Country.
The matter is not big, but it is child's play to say it is small. You must know that the World Government has never let them, Roger's crew, if the information about Kozuki Palace is exposed to the World Government.
A contemporary inheritor of a family of engravers of historical texts... even those pig-brained Dracos trapped in bubbles should be crazy.
Shanks couldn't help but his eyes became serious, "Kid, where did you get the information about Kozuki Palace?"
Yuyuko raised her eyes slightly, and slowly pulled her clothes up to cover her shoulders. "Let me introduce myself again. The little girl Shikami Yuyuko was born in Kuri, Wano Country. Her family inherited Shimi, and her family is loyal to the Kozuki family. Advocate.”
"Then why are you here again?"
Youyuko sighed and said slowly, "This will start when Lord Goten returns to Wano Country..."
In the memory of Kozuki Goten's story after he returned to Wano Country from the sea, Yuyuko's father, as a supporter, took the trouble to tell her many times. Although Yuyuko knew after being transported that these contents involved too much of Yuyuko's father's own subjective beautification, the core content was not much different.
What Yuyouzi tells is the version of Yuyouzi's father.
After all, modern official information is too detailed. Not to mention more, just the time fruit that can travel into the future is something that can be called an outlaw. Labor and capital can’t defeat you, okay, I’ll travel to the time after you die of old age…
After listening to Yuyuko's story, Shanks was silent for a long time and finally sighed and murmured, "I didn't expect that Uncle Kozuki would end like this... Wano Country Kaido... I'll discuss it later."
The eyes returned to Youyouzi and the three of them. They had flat chests and short bodies, short arms and legs. They were not good for the eyes, and they were useless for work. No matter how you looked at them, they only had three more mouths to eat. Their expressions instantly became a little depressed. "So what are you doing for?" What came from my boat. Sailing is not for children.”
Done!
Youyouzi breathed a sigh of relief,
If Shanks can be kept from putting on a serious face, then things will basically be fine. After all, according to the comics, Shanks is a serious person only when he is talking about business. And when he put down his serious face, nothing would happen.
I can't talk about trust, but I won't deliberately make things difficult for him to a certain extent.
"Hahaha~ Let's have a party to celebrate the fact that we have three more little girls on Redforth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the others immediately became excited, "Come on, come on, we haven't had any new faces on board for a long time, let's have a party!"
Beckman chuckled and bumped Shanks' back with his elbow, "Hey, our perverted lolita captain, your crew wants you to have a party~"
"I..." Shanks couldn't help but roll his eyes when he looked at the group of crewmen in front of him, "I told you... forget it..."
Shanks raised his hand with a difficult smile, "Hey guys, let's have a party!"
It was Mihawk's turn, who had just met Shanks, to be speechless. "Hey, brother, the supplies on your ship are no longer enough for you to go to the next island!"
Shanks nodded affirmatively, "To be precise, our supplies can't even support the next island."
"That……"
"But there is it in the sea!"
Mihawk's mouth twitched and he resisted the urge to draw the knife, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
Judging from the strength of the combatants on Shanks' ship, it is indeed not difficult to find some big men in the sea.
Needless to say, this overbearing-looking Shanks used a large-scale shock attack and a piece of food would immediately float on the sea...
"No, then why do you look so bad?"
Frank's eyes flashed around, hey smiled, "That ~ Actually, I secretly drank the wine on the boat ... so this banquet must have no alcohol, this group of second and fifth babies must be going to me."
...Mihawk's chest rose and fell, and he thought for a moment, "Fuck!"
…………
"That Yuyuko, why did they suddenly jump there?" Mina pulled Yuyuko's clothes and huddled behind Yuyuko, looking at a group of inexplicably excited pirates who were hugging each other and having fun. Some are excited, some are scared, and most are curious. "Is this a pirate?"
"No" Yuyuko smiled comfortably, "These are just a bunch of idiots."
"Hmph~ Pirates are pirates anyway, a group of bugs wandering the sea." Kona glanced at the pirates around her with hatred, picked up her dagger, wrapped it with a bandage and put it back on the outside of her thigh.
Then he found an inconspicuous seat on the deck and slowly closed his eyes to sleep.
She pretended to be fainted all night last night but actually didn't sleep, and now she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Sister Ke Na... she won't hold a grudge against us, right?" Mina said weakly.
"This...probably...can't be..." He was not too sure about this Youyouzi.
Although Yuyuko and Mina are the people who usually have the most contact with Kona, except for the two of them, almost no one seems to come into contact with Kona, especially Kona's always looking like I'm not happy with everyone, which really dissuades a lot of people. people.
Yuyuko and Mina are able to get along with Kona mostly because of the way the kitchen handles ingredients. Even so, she still doesn't understand Kona at all.
"Don't worry." At some point, Jesus Bu stood beside them, holding a cigar and smiling flatly, "That little girl has been guarding you all night, and she wants to get rid of us when she wakes up in the morning~ If she will hold a grudge against you, she will I won't let you take her to the Red Forth."
"You mean?" Yuyouzi suddenly understood, "Kona was just pretending before?"
Jesus Bu nodded, "Really? Her name is Kena~"
After saying this, Jesus covered Yuyouzi and Mina with his big hands. "Kid, go to bed now. Don't fall asleep when the banquet is held later."
At night Shanks took out the last of the rum and held an imperfect banquet.
Yuyuko was originally just eating barbecue with Mina and Kona and watching a group of people hugging each other, but because of the atmosphere, she couldn't help but join in.
"Hahahaha, the little girl dances well~ Do you want a drink?" A crew member laughed and patted Yuyuko on the shoulder and praised loudly.
"Humph, of course!" Youyouzi raised the corner of his mouth in great relief.
I was once a master of dancing in my college dormitory, and I was somewhat impressed by my inexplicable dancing skills.
It’s just that I used to be embarrassed with the five roommates in the dormitory, but now I am embarrassed with more than ten big men.
The essence of awkward dancing is that if you bring in all the awkward people, it won’t be awkward at all.
This is the happiness of men...
Although I am no longer a man...
But in this way, Yuyuko and the other three finally stayed on the Red Foss.
Shanks woke up leisurely in the early morning, glanced at Yuyuko who was sleeping soundly on the deck with his group of idiot crew members, and couldn't help but grin.
"Wake up, Captain." Beckman walked over slowly, and the two of them leaned on the railing together, blowing the morning sea breeze and looking at the slowly rising red sun. "How are you relieved?"
Shanks smiled slightly, "It's okay~"
Beckman lit up a cigarette, "The little girl last night blended into the party very naturally~ And the girl named Kena also has great potential."
"Don't you think about it? Let them join the fleet."
Shanks shook his head, "Beckman, it's too early for them to go to sea now, and...don't you think the three of them are already a team?"
Beckman was stunned for a moment and then looked back at the three of them.
The free-spirited girl named Yuyuko, the timid but innocent and kind-hearted Mina, and the talkative but clear-minded Kona, these three people are invisibly connected to each other. "You were right this time."
"So let's kick them off the ship at the next stop. This way we can save three people's rations."
"Damn it, no, Shanks, are you human? The next stop is the Chambord Islands!" Beckman's hand holding the cigarette shook involuntarily, "You're kidding me."
"Don't worry, I have an acquaintance there." Shanks smiled mysteriously.
A handsome homeless man in a tavern in the Shampoo Islands suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, "????"
“I always feel like I’m being talked about by some little guy~”
A smoking gun hit the handsome homeless man's shaggy hair. "Reilly, don't look around. There are a few gangsters who have made trouble for me recently. You go and deal with it."
Riley's smile froze, and then he smiled sincerely, "Okay, no problem, wait until I finish drinking this glass... Okay, you put the wine away first, I want to help you solve it."
…
At this moment, Jesus Bu shook his head and stood up from the observation deck. He jumped lightly and came to Shanks' side. He raised his hand and handed Shanks a single-hole telescope.
"Hey~ Captain, it looks like we have work to do."
"Really?" Shanks smiled and picked up the telescope.
In the distance, a large ship flying a black pirate flag was approaching the Red Foss slowly and menacingly.
