One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 238 Unreliable Shanks

The North Sea is the most chaotic of the four seas. The people here are tough and the battles between countries seem to never end. As a result, all kinds of strong people have appeared, so it is also called the strongest sea.

At this time, a tattered brig was swaying on the sea, and on the sail was a crookedly painted pirate flag with a skull with three slanting red lines on the left eye and a red nose. It looked indescribably weird, as if there were two painters, neither of whom could convince the other, and then they painted on the same canvas, and the final painting became very disharmonious, but this disharmoniousness revealed a sense of naturalness, as if it was born to be this way.

However, the atmosphere on the ship was not harmonious at this time.

"Shanks! This guy must die!!!" Buggy, holding the daggers, attacked Shanks frantically from behind, as if he wanted to tear him into pieces.

"Help! Murder! Beckman, help! Buggy is crazy!" Shanks dodged left and right, while not forgetting to protect the straw hat on his head, and kept shouting to the gray-haired man smoking on the other side. This man was the first crew member Shanks and Buggy found in the North Sea - Ben Beckman.

"It's impossible to save him. He deserves it. Come on, Captain Bucky." Beckman glanced to the side and waved his hand.

"Bastard! I'm the captain! Have you ever seen such an unreliable captain!" Bucky's head flew directly in front of Beckman and shouted loudly.

"Okay, Captain Buggy, I agree with you. I have never seen such an unreliable captain." Beckman did not refute Buggy's words, but instead spoke with Buggy to diss Shanks together.

"Didn't I just want to go there and take a look? I didn't expect there would be an active volcano there." Shanks protested loudly.

And from Shanks' words, we can also clearly know what he did, because now there are only 6 people in the entire pirate group, and everyone takes turns to watch the ship when they rest at night. The person in charge of watching the ship last night was Shanks. Buggy had already selected the location, and according to his observation, nothing would happen here tonight. Shanks just made sure that there would be no unexpected situations, and the others went to bed first. What no one expected was that Shanks himself was an unexpected situation.

Shanks was so bored while watching the night fishing with his crazy air force that he thought of sailing again. He secretly raised the anchor, lowered the sail and started sailing. As it was already the late night, everyone was fast asleep and did not notice Shanks' behavior, so Shanks really indulged his desire to sail.

It has to be said that Shanks' boat driving skills have improved. At least this time there was no grounding or collision. He referred to the nautical chart and moved forward bit by bit. He was so excited that all his previous sleepiness was gone. When it was dawn, the other people got up one after another and came out. Then they saw Shanks driving the boat.

"Shanks? Are you driving the boat?" Buggy, who was not fully awake yet, rubbed his eyes and said hazily.

"That's right. What do you think, Buggy? I learn quickly, right? There is no problem at all." Shanks didn't look sleepy at all, and boasted excitedly. Ever since the ship ran aground last year, Buggy has been keeping a close eye on Shanks and refused to let him touch the rudder unless there was someone watching nearby.

"Yeah, it's fine, ha~~ yawn——" Buggy yawned and walked towards the bathroom, but after a few steps he suddenly realized, wait? Shanks just now was!!!
“You’re driving the boat!” Buggy shouted, waking up the others, and they all looked at Shanks.

"That's right, I'm driving the boat, don't worry, I'm following the nautical chart, there's no problem!" Shanks said proudly. Let's see if Buggy dares to look down on him.

"Show me the nautical chart, as well as the compass and sextant." Buggy could trust Shanks with other things but not this. He quickly went to check the equipment himself. After comparing left and right, he found that there was indeed no problem. Then he looked at Shanks in surprise.

"Hahaha, now I can drive a boat too!" Shanks laughed at Buggy's surprised expression, while the other crew members watched the fun with complete indifference. After all, their captain and deputy captain made a fuss every day, and they were used to it. It's just that Buggy had told them about Shanks' driving level before, which made them quite worried, but not as serious as Buggy's. Now it seems that Buggy was really making a fuss out of nothing.

But just as they were talking, Bucky glanced casually and suddenly discovered something was wrong: there were bubbles on the sea surface!
"Turn around! Turn around quickly!!!" Buggy shouted hurriedly. "What's wrong, Buggy?" Shanks didn't know why Buggy suddenly shouted. He was acting normal just now.
"Stop talking nonsense and turn around quickly! There are bubbles on the sea!" Buggy didn't have time to explain and tried to grab the rudder from Shanks' hand.

"Hey, what's the big deal? I've seen it a long time ago, and I wanted to let you see it too. It's so interesting." Shanks said nonchalantly, but after he said this, the others looked at Shanks together.

“Pull him out!” Buggy shouted. Beckman and others rushed forward and directly carried Shanks away from the rudder. Buggy immediately started to steer the ship, but it was too late.

Accompanied by a loud "boom", the entire sea surface began to vibrate, followed by columns of water mixed with high-temperature steam gushing out from the bottom of the sea.

"Hold on tight! An underwater volcano has erupted!!!" Buggy began to steer the ship with full concentration. Although he had excellent performance in naval battles, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Others' skills were not as good as his, so he had to bite the bullet and go ahead.

Columns of water continued to gush up from the bottom of the sea, mixed with steam, gushing gravel, mud and cooled magma blocks, covering the entire pirate ship like a cannonball. Buggy tried his best to avoid it, and Shanks and Beckman also tried their best to stop those things, but there were too many of them, and from time to time some of them would miss and hit the ship, leaving wounds on the hull and sails, which made Buggy feel very distressed. But now is not the time to think about these things. Buggy must concentrate and feel the water conditions around him to prevent the sudden appearance of water columns from destroying the entire ship.

Fortunately, the scope of the underwater volcanic eruption was not large. Unfortunately, when they were about to leave the eruption zone, Bucky relaxed. A sudden column of water erupted along the stern of the ship, directly pushing the ship forward. Then two other columns of water erupted from the left and right, smashing the ship into pieces. Bucky felt his heart was broken, but fortunately this was the last crisis. They sailed out of the eruption zone and looked at the continuous erupting water columns behind them. They patted their chests with lingering fear. It felt so good to be alive.

Of course, the big crisis is in the past, but Shanks is not in any crisis. After Buggy jumped up and down to check the damage to the ship, the angry Buggy started to chase Shanks frantically with weapons. Shanks, knowing that he was in the wrong, could not fight back and could only flee for his life. Beckman and others were no longer surprised by the situation of the two. After all, the two of them often did this. But what was slightly different today was that they also wanted to get involved because Shanks had indeed gone too far this time. If Buggy had not discovered it early and had strong skills, they might have really been buried in the sea. So when Shanks asked Beckman for help just now, Beckman did not react at all, but spoke for Buggy instead.

"Hey! Captain! Stop it! There's a ship approaching!" Beckman shouted while looking at the sea with a cigarette in his mouth.

“What!” Shanks pushed Buggy’s face with one hand and blocked the knife in Buggy’s hand with the other. He turned around and just said something when he was punched in the face by Buggy and was knocked out. However, Buggy did not chase him, but flew directly to Beckman and asked, “Who is it!”

"That symbol should be the famous underground force in Beihai, the Don Quixote Family." Beckman, a native of Beihai, explained.

"Underground forces? What do they do?" Shanks walked over and asked, covering his red nose.

"They do everything, arms, slave trade, all kinds of contraband. In short, they do anything that can make money and break the law. Their business is quite big, but no one knows who the boss of the Don Quixote family is. It is said that he rarely shows up." Beckman told the information he knew.

"Is that so? Slave trade. If those Beasts guys get to know about this, the Don Quixote family will probably die miserably." Buggy said after thinking for a while.

"Bucky, that looks like a slave ship as well. What about us?" Shanks didn't finish his words, but Buggy already understood what he meant, and both of them couldn't stop smiling.
