Seeing Shanks put the photo in his pocket, Buggy waved the invitation in his hand, "Do you want this?"
"No need, I'm not going to listen to music, but to stop some things..." Shanks sighed.
He didn't fear how strong the enemy was, but he didn't know how to face his own daughter.
"If you need help, just say the word," Buggy said.
"Just focus on your own business. By the way, while you're cleaning up the Pirate Crews, clean up my territory as well."
Shanks suddenly thought of something, "If you run into the Barto Club Pirate Crew, help me teach Bartolomeo a lesson too. I don't have time to look for him."
"How should I teach him? Rip off an arm?"
That would basically ruin Bartolomeo's Devil Fruit ability.
"A leg would work too, to save him from running around chasing stars!"
When Shanks learned that Bartolomeo was also a fanatic fan of Uta, he truly felt murderous intent.
Having such a crazed fan wasn't a good thing for Uta; he might be causing trouble everywhere and giving Uta a bad reputation.
If Bartolomeo didn't have the status of being part of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, Shanks would have killed him directly.
"We're leaving, Luffy. Continue searching for Raftel; maybe we'll meet there."
Shanks loudly bid farewell to Luffy in the distance.
"Do you want to become the Pirate King too, Shanks?"
Luffy was stunned for a moment, then grinned and laughed, "Then we'll be rivals!"
"I'm also interested in the things on Raftel. Be careful, don't end up losing to us."
Shanks called out to Beckman beside him, "Let's go..."
"Raftel holds all our dreams. Even if my opponent is Shanks, I won't back down."
Luffy shook his hands and said excitedly, "I'll defeat you when the time comes!"
"That's the spirit, keep it up!"
Beckman gave Luffy a thumbs-up and left with Shanks.
"Usopp, I don't have time to teach you this time. I'll make up for it next time."
Yasopp hugged Usopp, "You were just a kid when I left, and now you've grown into a man..."
"No need... for teaching." Usopp's cheeks were red and swollen, and his speech was a bit airy.
He'd rather not accept this kind of teaching.
"Is this how pirates raise their children?" Yamato asked in surprise from the side. "Ignoring them from a young age?"
In comparison, Kaido had taught her quite a lot.
"Most pirates don't have children, but Usopp's situation is also a rarity," Robin said.
"Little Luffy, we're in a hurry this time. Next time, try my cooking," Lucky Roux said with a grin. "We're off."
Monster made a few gestures in front of Chopper, squeaked a few times, and then jumped back onto Bonk Punch's back.
"Chopper, what is it saying?" Brook asked curiously.
"He said we are both executives of Four Emperors Crews, and we should spar sometime when we're free," Chopper said bashfully. "I didn't expect to be an executive of a Four Emperors Crew now. I wonder if the people back home, especially Dr. Kureha, know."
"Then you should have shown your face in the live broadcast just now; maybe the people back home would have seen it," Franky said. "It's too late now..."
"Eh? Why didn't I think of that?" Chopper was suddenly filled with regret.
"Luffy, the Blackbeard Pirates have been dealt with. Are we still going to waste time here?" Zoro asked.
He didn't want to stay here for another second.
One only knows to cherish some things after they are lost.
Today, my hands tremble... Today, my heart aches... Why is it like this? Shusui... Shusui... I... I... I... I really miss you... A ghostly aura slowly emanated from Zoro!
"Whoa... Mosshead, what are you doing?" Sanji was startled.
"I want to cut someone!" Zoro said coldly.
"You look like someone whose wife was stolen. But speaking of wives..."
Sanji was a bit puzzled, "Why does it feel so familiar? It's as if I once had one."
And he constantly felt like someone was secretly watching him, but he couldn't find who it was.
"That... might be your imagination. Haha~ How could you have a wife?" Nami said.
"Then would Nami-san like to consider it~" Sanji immediately threw the matter of a wife to the back of his mind.
"Drop dead! Zeus, teach him a lesson!" Nami ordered.
In a mirror, the scene of Sanji being electrocuted until he was charred black was being shown.
"Aren't you going to return his memories to him, Pudding?"
Brulee also knew about Pudding extracting Sanji's memories.
"No, he has his own dreams to fulfill," Pudding shook her head. "I can't be a part of them."
"How complicated. What a pity, I've never been in love."
Brulee didn't understand why two people who clearly liked each other had to make things this way.
At this moment, Luffy also noticed Zoro's strange state and was about to ask what had happened when a figure in a black robe appeared beside him.
"Uncle, do you need something?" Luffy asked in confusion.
"He is the leader of the Revolutionary Army—Dragon," Robin said. "And also your father."
"Eh? Really? This is the first time I've met my father." Luffy looked Dragon over, "So ugly..."
"You brat!" Dragon punched Luffy on the head. "Is that any way to talk to your father?"
"His temper is just like Grandpa's." Luffy rubbed his head. "Who hits someone the first time they meet?"
Yamato discovered an even more ridiculous pair of father and son.
Does the outside world just let children grow up freely on their own?
Compared to them, could Kaido actually be considered a competent father?
"It's the second time. If he hadn't saved you in Loguetown, your little 'playing house' journey would have ended before it even began," Buggy walked over.
"Loguetown? I remember now." Luffy realized. "Thanks, Uncle. Ah, no, Father."
"..." Dragon found he didn't know how to communicate with Luffy. There was no scene as he had imagined; Luffy acted very nonchalantly.
"Then I'll be going too. The Revolutionary Army still has many things to deal with," Dragon said.
"Luffy, your grandfather always wanted you to become a Marine, but I know that with your personality, you definitely wouldn't be able to stay there. I'm not a good father, but at least I can let you do what you want to do."
After saying these words, a violent wind suddenly rose, and Dragon left with Ivankov, riding the gale.
"So cool!" Luffy watched Dragon's figure departing on the wind with sparkling eyes. It was much better than Moonwalk or anything.
"It seems everyone is very busy. I originally wanted to hold a banquet to reward them," Buggy said.
"A banquet? In this place?" Luffy looked at the charred Cake Island. "The environment is too harsh, and besides, there's no food..."
"Food isn't a problem. Smoothie, use your ability to squeeze out some juice first," Buggy ordered.
"But there's nothing left here. Do you want me to squeeze juice out of the ground?" Smoothie asked in confusion.
"Give it a try."
This wasn't ordinary ground; it was Cake Island, which was made of food.
Smoothie tried squeezing the ground of Cake Island and produced some dark brown liquid.
She tasted it, "It's sweet, and it has a slightly prickly feeling in the mouth. A very strange taste, but it's delicious."
Buggy took a bite and tasted it. It was the taste of cola, but it tasted better than any cola he had ever had, with an explosive sensation in his mouth.
Could this be the legendary—nuclear cola?
Thinking of this, Buggy tapped on a spot covered in ice crystals.
"Kuzan, come out and help me ice the drinks!"
