"Yes, everyone is a great teammate."
After Crocus finished packing, he left the hospital with Shanks, while the Red-Haired Pirates had already begun to move freely on the island during this time.
Some people walked in groups, while others wandered alone through the alleyways.
In a shop, Yasopp was examining something that looked like a monocular telescope. The Red-Haired Pirates were one of the few pirate crews with a sniper among their officers.
The Chaser Yasopp was also a rare and excellent sniper, capable of hitting an ant's antennae from 100 feet away without damaging the rest of its body.
During this process, Yasopp relied on iron sights and Observation Haki.
Scopes are not common at sea, and most snipers do not use high-powered scopes, or even use guns at all.
Being accustomed to old-fashioned firearms does not mean that Yasopp is opposed to better equipment.
The development of weapons in the East China Sea was relatively backward. Many of the pistols used were flintlock pistols that could only fire single shots. Even revolvers were rare in the East China Sea in the past.
"Optical sight with adjustable magnification to help you aim at the enemy more effectively. Purchase now for a free weapon modification service. Want one? There's only one left."
Normally, this item is sold as a set with a gun, but such firearms are expensive to manufacture, difficult to use, and have a very low sales rate.
The farther a bullet travels, the more it is affected along the way; wind direction and air humidity can both cause the bullet's trajectory to deviate.
Even if you throw a sophisticated firearm at an ordinary person, they'll most likely only hear a bang.
Even at ten meters away, you can't be sure what you'll hit with a pistol, and it's difficult to refill bullets for that kind of firearm, so it's common to sell spare parts separately.
Whether ordinary firearms can shoot that far is not something the boss needs to consider.
Yasopp was clearly very interested in the item, but then realized he didn't have enough money. After asking the shopkeeper to leave some for him, he hurriedly went to find the rest of the Red-Haired Pirates.
However, Yasopp didn't know where they were either, and finally found Raki Ru at a place that looked like a food festival.
"Raki Ru, I'm a little short on money when I buy something. Do you have any extra? Could you lend me some?"
"Unfortunately, I spent all the money on food, and the last bit of money went to the registration fee. I'm looking for people to form a team to participate in the competition, why don't you join me? If we win the competition, we'll not only get a free meal, but also a prize."
Raki Ru pointed to the meeting room to the side, indicating his intention.
Yasopp readily agreed to Raki Ru's invitation to form a team, as he originally thought this kind of competition would be a piece of cake for Raki Ru.
When it comes to eating capacity, Lucky Roux is also a master in the Red-Haired Pirates, but when the competition started, Yasopp realized that this was not a big eater competition at all, but a food cosplay contest.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The food in front of you is very simple: fried chicken and fries! But half of the food in one group of contestants' dishes is made with ginger!"
The person who eats the special food and remains undiscovered is the winner, and the group that discovers the special food first is also considered the winner.
Each group has only one chance to answer, and those who don't finish their food within the allotted time are automatically eliminated. So, let the competition begin!
In the food world, there is an abstract ingredient – ginger.
It can be cleverly incorporated into various foods, whether sliced, shredded, or in chunks.
It can perfectly mimic carbohydrates, meat, and even fruit.
The person who invented stir-fried shredded potatoes with ginger was a born devil, and unfortunately, Yasopp and Laki Rue were the lucky ones.
"It's so spicy, I hate this taste."
In order to speed up their journey, Shanks directly exchanged a pointer with a pre-stored record from Crocus, but the smell of ginger still lingered in Yasopp's mouth when the Red-Haired Pirates left.
Fortunately, they managed to control their expressions and won the competition, allowing them to buy what they wanted.
The same was true for the others; almost all the treasure originally on the Red-Haired Pirates' ship was converted into various kinds of goods in Piltover.
Although Shanks has been fitted with a prosthetic body, he is still practicing his right hand, seemingly preparing for a special situation.
This place can be considered the outpost for the Red-Haired Pirates' return to the Grand Line. However, not long after Shanks entered the Grand Line, Hawkeye came looking for him based on his trail.
When Hawkeye arrived at Shanks' temporary lodging, the Red-Haired Pirates were having a banquet.
"Mihawk? How did you find me?"
"I am now a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Navy provided you with the intelligence."
"Hey, you didn't join the Seven Warlords of the Sea just so you could find me more easily, did you? Never mind that, come on over and have a drink with me!"
Shanks didn't consider Mihawk an enemy at all, and walked over to Mihawk's side with a wine glass in hand and a drunken expression.
"Don't be shy, drink it all in one go."
The Red-Haired Pirates also joined in the commotion, and in the end, Hawkeye had no choice but to drink the first cup of sake. But Shanks didn't stop there and turned around to give Hawkeye another cup.
Hawkeye knows Shanks' habits; Shanks probably won't stop until he's completely drunk.
I didn't come here to have a drink with you.
Snap.
When Shanks saw Hawkeye coming over, he fiddled with his left arm for a bit. Just as Hawkeye was saying this, his prosthetic arm fell off and was caught steadily by Shanks with a wine glass.
What did you just say?
"What exactly did you encounter in the East China Sea?"
Hawkeye didn't pay much attention to the problem with Shanks' arm at first, thinking it was just Shanks playing pranks. Now he's finally convinced that Shanks has been seriously injured.
The encouragement was only halfway done; another day of encouragement is needed.
