Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 241 Please give me some face

The dazzling sunlight shone on the sparkling sea, and as the Red Forth cut through the waves, "Red-Haired" Shanks suddenly ordered: "Stop, don't go any further."

"Red-haired Right Wrist" Ben Beckman glanced at him, then stretched out his hand towards the helmsman and shouted: "Stop."

Under the control of the helmsman, the Red Foss slowly stopped on the sea, dropped a rusty, heavy iron anchor, and sank into the sea with a splash.

Beckman, holding a cigarette in his mouth, approached Shanks and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There are Davy Jones' people under the sea." Shanks replied, "I came to see Davy Jones, not to start a war with him."

"I know, to avoid misjudgment." Beckman shrugged, "Speaking of which, do you really plan to go in alone?"

"Don't worry, Beckman." Shanks turned around and held out two fingers, "First, I'm not that fragile. Second, Davy Jones is actually a very rule-based person."

"Are you referring to the 'guest rights' that have long existed in name only? How can anyone abide by such a thing now? Not to mention that Davy Jones and we are both pirates."

"Guest rights" generally only apply to the royal family, nobles, knights and other self-proclaimed noble classes. They promise never to attack the guests at the banquet, otherwise they will be punished by God.

It's just that it has been broken many times, and people who have committed evil deeds have never been punished by God or cursed by some existence.

Gradually, no one took it seriously.

"I believe in my judgment on Davy Jones." Shanks smiled, "He is surprisingly a very retro-conservative person. I feel more and more that he is the 'King of Hell' in the Deep Sea."

"A legend from hundreds of years ago?" Beckman blew out a smoke ring, "It's up to you. If you are kicked out in a panic, we will just come and pick you up. Just don't lose your other hand."

Shanks laughed heartily, his sleeves fluttering in the sea breeze.

After a while, the fishmen and mermaid troops of the Davy Jones Pirates came over to question him.

They had already noticed the movements of the "Yonko" pirate ship. While reporting to the Silent Island, they boldly surrounded the Red Foss.

In the past, as long as they saw the pirate flag of the red-haired pirates, they would have been in a hurry to stay away.

The reason why they have today's courage is because there is a man standing behind them, he is also the "Four Emperors".

Davy Jones becoming the "New Yonko" really caught many people off guard, and these low-level pirates are also slowly adapting to their positions.

There are things that I couldn't do or didn't dare to do before, but now I can do them.

They surrounded the Red Foss, not because they could defeat the "Red Haired Pirates", but because they, as subordinates of the "Davy Jones Pirates", had to do this.

Shanks stepped on the side of the ship with one leg, smiled at the fishmen and mermaids in the sea, and said: "Please tell your Captain Davy Jones, 'Red Haired' Shanks wants to meet him." .”

The fishmen and mermaids looked at each other for a while, then the leader shouted: "Wait here, don't act rashly."

"Don't worry, we won't do anything." Shanks promised, "Tell Captain Davy Jones that my ship will stop here and I will land on the island alone to meet him."

The captains of the mermaid and mermaid teams turned around and swam farther away, taking out the phone bug to make a call.

After a while he swam back and shouted to his subordinates: "Let us go."

The fish man and the mermaid team finally made way.

Shanks got on a small wooden boat launched from the Red Forth and left under the watch of the crew.

He grabbed an oar with one arm, inserted it into the sea water, and with a strong stroke, the small wooden boat flew out on the sea as if it was ejected.

Whenever the small wooden boat was about to stop, he inserted the oar into the waves and paddled again, and the small wooden boat flew out again.

After doing this several times in a row, the small wooden boat was like flying stone fragments hitting the water several times, and he soon saw the outline of the Silent Island.

After the canoe docked, Shanks saw a group of people coming to greet him, and the first acquaintance he met was Jinbe.

"Long time no see, Jinbei." Shanks hugged the tall and strong fishman, "I didn't expect you to join the Davy Jones Pirates."

Jinbei smiled and showed the two fangs on his lower jaw, and said: "I trust Captain Davy Jones, and I also trust the choice of Fish-Man Island." Shanks said no more, and headed to Davy Jones under Jinbei's guidance. Jones' base camp on the Silent Island.

Along the way, he met quite a few patrolling pirates, saw ships exercising on the sea, and then saw a gray castle.

There are so many "Devil Fruit users" in the Davy Jones Pirates that it is not difficult to build a castle.

Many people stared at Shanks with scrutinizing and wary eyes. Shanks looked calm and composed, smiled at them and waved his hand.

Finally, he saw Davy Jones. The "New Four Emperors" was standing in front of the ground floor door of a tower, smoking a long-handled pipe, and seemed to be waiting for him.

After Jinbei bowed to say hello to Davy Jones, he ended his mission and left calmly.

Davy Jones held the long handle of his pipe in his mouth, his tentacles squirming, and he pointed at the tower door: "Shanks, climb up with me."

Shanks glanced at the dark inside of the door and responded, "Okay."

Davy Jones slowly turned around, took steps, and stepped into the door.

Shanks followed behind. The interior of the tower was very simple, with basically only gray and black walls. They came to the spiraling stone staircase and climbed to the top of the tower.

For some reason, Shanks felt like he had gone back to the past, feeling uneasy in front of Captain Roger and Vice-Captain Rayleigh.

He couldn't help but smile. It seemed that his aura was suppressed by Davy Jones.

"Shanks."

Davy Jones walked in front and did not look back, but he could smell the smell of smoke and sea water emanating from him.

"I remember our territories are not next to each other. What is your purpose of coming from such a far away place?"

Shanks looked at the moat outside the castle through the battlements of the tower, and said without mincing words: "I'm here to persuade peace."

"Are you here to persuade me to make peace? This is something new." Davy Jones turned to look at the "red hair" and asked, "Why?"

"Because in your battle with Charlotte Lingling, you don't have much chance of winning. Even if you win, it will be a miserable victory."

Davy Jones became curious: "Let's not talk about my chances of winning. If Charlotte Lingling and I both lose, wouldn't it be beneficial to you, who are also the 'Four Emperors'?"

"In fact, I don't want the finally balanced maritime situation to collapse again." Shanks shook his head, "You may not believe it, but before 'fighting the war', I advised 'Whitebeard' twice. .”

Davy Jones smiled and said: "I believe that based on what I know about you, this is indeed something you can do."

Shanks was stunned for a moment, then he laughed dumbly and said, "I didn't expect you to have such an impression of me."

"What did you advise 'Whitebeard'?"

Shanks pointed to the three old scars on the left side of his face, which slanted across his eyelids.

"The first time, I went to him and persuaded him to call Ace back because I realized how scary Blackbeard was. Then, as I expected, Ace was subdued by Blackbeard."

Shanks paused and continued.

"The second time, I persuaded him not to attack the Navy Headquarters, but he still refused to listen. I could only temporarily help him deal with the threats from Kaido and Charlotte Lingling. In the end, not only did he die in battle, but his pirate group also almost died. completely annihilated."

The two reached the top of the tower and stood on the edge of the battlements, taking a bird's eye view of the castle below and the mountains of Silent Island in the distance.

Davy Jones' tentacles puffed out smoke: "So, you are here to persuade me to surrender to Charlotte Lingling?"

"That's not what I meant. But I am willing to act as a middleman to help you reach a peace treaty. The premise is that you all have the willingness to have a truce. I will go and persuade Charlotte Lingling."

Shanks finally said solemnly: "Please give me some face."
