Chapter 148 I have a boat
"Bastard, are you robbing money?"
When Beckman heard the offer from the tavern owner, he jumped up. It was not just a lion's mouth. He dared to ask for this tavern with these rotten wooden boards. If he just used some bricks or something, would he dare to ask for hundreds of millions of dollars?
The tavern owner's face turned cold and he snorted, "This is a very fair price. You have affected my business. Do you want to betray my debt?"
"I can even be blamed for the debt..." Beckman was already grabbed by Shanks before he finished speaking.
He walked to the owner of the tavern and smiled, "No problem, the price of eight million Bailey is very reasonable, but I have never brought money. How about this one paying the bill?"
He said as he groped in his arms for a while, and finally took out a gem with a bright light, about the same size as the fingernail on his thumb.
"Huh?" The owner of the tavern made a nasal sound, took it and checked it carefully. After a moment, he suspected, "The best quality of Diamond Island?"
"Good eyesight." Shanks smiled and praised.
The so-called Diamond Island is somewhere in the new world in the second half of the great channel. It is said that the entire island is composed of various diamonds, and you can get countless wealth as long as you arrive.
However, the location of this island is too remote and has no fixed coordinates. Even the big pirate group in the New World can rarely reach it. And after arriving, it requires extremely strong strength to mine these hard diamonds. There are only a handful of people who have actually visited it.
However, all this is not a problem for Roger Pirates. As the only Pirates that conquered the great waterway, they have basically arrived in any dangerous and mysterious place, and Diamond Island is no exception.
But Roger was not interested in this place full of "hard stones". He stayed there for a short time and left. As for the diamonds, the people on the boat mined some at will, and Shanks's one was thrown to him by others.
"This is just enough to compensate for the losses." The tavern owner put away the gem and waved impatiently. It was obvious that he was expelling guests.
For troublemakers like Shanks and Beckman, he never wanted to see them again. The most important thing is that he could not see through Shanks' strength, but his years of navigation experience and intuition told him that it would be better to do it easily.
Pirates are mostly a group of superstitious and intuitive people, and the older they are, the more they are.
Beckman walked up and snorted coldly to express his disdain for the boss. His attitude towards Shanks changed a lot. He said in a deep voice, "No matter what, thank you for the red-haired guy this time."
"Hey, I have a name, so I should have told you that my name is Shanks."
Beckman was silent for a second, then said, "Okay Shanks, I'm glad to see you. I'm Ben Beckman, about the first mate you mentioned..."
"Okay, men are not as good as mother-in-law. If they can, they can't do it. But I'm not the one who will give up easily." Shanks turned his head and showed a big smile.
A smile itself is contagious, especially Shanks has a special personality charm, "Okay, if you persist!"
After getting one, Shanks turned his head and smiled at the tavern owner, "Okay, boss, do you have any interest in coming out again? Experts like you shouldn't open a tavern in an unknown place. How about it, there are still many people on my boat!"
"I'm not interested in working for the red-haired boy." The tavern owner refused without thinking.
Shanks shrugged without hesitation, "It's hard to say, and it's not a partner, Kaido will not come back!"
With the words Kaido, the tavern owner's eyes suddenly froze, and obvious cracks appeared in the wine glass that was being wiped in his hand.
Just as Shanks was about to add another fire to the fat boss's wound, the tavern gate was pushed open again, and a chill suddenly appeared behind him. Shanks subconsciously looked at the waiter.
He was wearing black clothes, and behind him was a pitch-black sword. The eagle's eyes locked Shanks the moment they entered. The two of them collided in the air, and sparks vaguely burst into it.
"Why did he come here?" Shanks's face changed, and he showed a hint of guilt.
To be precise, Shanks' memory is not very good. He will only remember those who left an impression on him, and there are actually not many people on this sea that can leave an impression on him.
Mihawk was exactly one of them, at a similar age. Mihawk was the only strong man he had ever seen who was about the same strength as him, especially his belief in kendo pursuit. Shanks still remembered it vividly until now.
Of course, this is not a big deal. The problem is that he once snatched Mihawk's ship and also drove others into the high tide sea. Now that the two met on such occasions, Shanks felt that he was a little inappropriate.
Although according to some unwritten rules of pirates, the two of them fight by their own ability, and they are sunk to the bottom of the sea without dying, there is no reason to come back to seek revenge, but this rule is just a reference. In fact, when there is a chance to take revenge, many pirates will return their past pain head-on.
Obviously Mihawk is not an open-minded person, so the scene becomes a little nervous.
"I found you, Red-haired Shanks!" After a long time, the appearance of both sides was basically the same as in Roger Town. Mihawk let out a cold voice and had already grasped the hilt of the sword behind him.
"Yeah? Do you have a grudge?" Beckman asked in a low voice. It is not uncommon for pirates to seek revenge between each other, but after seeing Shanks' strength, he was still curious about who this guy who dared to seek revenge alone.
"Uh, I had some misunderstandings before, but it should be fine after communication." Shanks said with a smile.
"Misunderstanding?" Mihawk snorted, "You can really talk to you. I don't have time to talk nonsense to you. Where is my boat?"
Shanks showed a helpless expression, "I am happy to return your boat to you. If you dive on the shore of this island now, maybe you can find some traces left by the hull."
