Beckman indeed
Shanks and the others stood in a safe area, looking at Daniel calmly.
Daniel's face became increasingly ugly. He clenched his fists and wondered unwillingly: How on earth did these people get away with it!
It turned out that Shanks had foreseen this scene through his observation Haki long before the mechanism was activated.
The moment the crack appeared, Shanks and his companions quickly left the spot.
"This is such a misunderstanding," Daniel took several steps back in panic and retreated to the door of the warehouse. "I don't know why this accident happened."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling red light suddenly lit up on the ceiling of the warehouse, and rows of automatic machine guns emerged from the walls.
Daniel's face turned ferocious. He made a gesture and the machine gun immediately adjusted its angle, aimed at Shanks and his group, and began to fire wildly.
"Humph! Since you've already seen through me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Dense bullets poured down like a storm, and the entire warehouse was instantly swept by the rain of bullets, with bangs everywhere.
This warehouse seems to have been specially equipped and is no longer affected by the island's gravity.
Beckman and Lachi Lu realized that the gravity around them had returned to normal. They immediately took out their guns, dodged bullets quickly, and kept shooting at the position of the machine gun.
Shanks waved Griffin to block the pouring bullets, while Gob simply picked up the storage box next to him and held it above his head as a shield.
Meli also reacted quickly. It raised its head and calmly sprayed water arrows at the position of the machine gun, as if to vent all the deception it had just suffered and its inner anger.
When the machine gun on the ceiling was hit, either the gunpowder was soaked with water and it misfired and could not be used, or the barrel was tilted and twisted, making it impossible to aim at the target.
Daniel's proud automatic machine/gun array soon became unable to attack normally. Seeing the traps he set being cracked step by step, his face became extremely stiff.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and wanted to continue to argue: "Captain Shanks, this... is just a misunderstanding."
The barrage of attacks and traps made even Shanks very angry, and his expression became extremely serious.
Daniel: "Actually, the mechanism here is broken..."
"Do you take me for a fool?"
Shanks was rarely angry. He swung Griffin angrily and Daniel was knocked away in an instant.
Several other guards immediately rushed over, but were easily subdued by Shanks and Gob. They soon fell to the ground, unable to fight back.
"Have mercy! Hero, have mercy!" Daniel struggled to get up and begged desperately, "Whatever supplies you want, just take them all."
"Why are you reacting like you're the victim and we're the robbers?" Shanks put away the Griffin, a look of helplessness in his eyes. "It was you who attacked us time and time again."
"No, no, no, you're all powerful people, how could you be robbers?" Daniel waved his hands repeatedly, a flattering smile on his face. "This is all my fault. I offended you all. I feel so sorry. Whatever you need, just take it."
"Really?" Shanks regained his gentle smile. He stepped forward, patted Daniel on the shoulder, and thanked him happily. "Thank you so much."
"No, no, as long as you are happy." Daniel smiled cautiously.
Merry: Hey, isn't Shanks a little too trusting?
Beckman: You'll get used to it.
Shanks, Beckman and the others walked towards the shelves, but did not greedily take a lot of things. They just picked out what was really needed on the ship according to the shopping list.
Lachi Lu's attention was drawn to something under the shelf. His eyes lit up, and he quickly walked forward, patted the boxes, and smiled excitedly: "Hey~ Is that wine in there?"
There are many wine lovers on the boat. How could they let go of such good wine?
"There's wine!" Shanks came over in surprise.
Daniel rubbed his hands aside and said, "You guys have really good taste. This is our best wine at Bowker."
Beckman glanced at Daniel with amusement and said, "Since it's good wine, take two cases."
"Two boxes are not enough, let's get a few more."
"I agree! It's a rare discovery of good wine, so why not have a party tonight?"
"The gravity on this island is too strange. It's not a good place to hold a party."
"Ah, Beckman, you're such a killjoy."
"However, we can have a simple celebration when we get back to the ship."
"Very good!"
......
"Okay, we have everything we need."
Lachi Lu counted the items and together they packed the selected items into four large bags, each of which was bulging.
Beckman estimated the value of these things, took out a bag of gold coins from his waist and handed it to Daniel, "This is the money to buy these things."
Daniel's face showed an expression of being flattered. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I can't accept these. These are just a token of my appreciation for offending you warriors."
Beckman firmly pressed the gold coin into his hand and replied without question, "Take it. I just said we're not here to steal."
Daniel was stunned for a moment, his eyes complicated, and then he showed a look of gratitude.
"Ah, you're all very reasonable people. I was really too dishonest before." Daniel sighed in shame. He grabbed a handful of gold coins from the bag and returned the rest to Beckman. "You won't need that much. Consider this wine my little compensation. Please accept it."
"No fighting, no friendship. Let's just be friends." Shanks threw the package over his shoulder, not taking the previous conflict to heart at all.
"Now that the deal is done, we'll leave first."
"Are you in such a hurry? Then I won't send you off."
"No need to send it, no need to send it."
Shanks and his companions, each carrying a large bag, left the mining base contentedly, chatting and laughing all the way, and returned to the beach along the same route.
"I wonder if Uta has woken up yet, and if she's still seasick."
"We've been out for quite a while, he should be awake by now."
"I just found some seasickness medicine. I'll bring it back to Uta on the Redforth."
"Also, I bought so much wine, we can celebrate tonight."
Daniel stood at the door of the warehouse and watched Shanks and others leave. His smile instantly disappeared and a gloomy and resentful emotion flashed in his eyes.
He muttered in a low voice, his voice cold and vicious: "Humph! Damn pirates! Do you think this is the end of it?"
Daniel turned around abruptly and strode to the turret of the base, looking down at the figure in the distance from above, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Take a taste of our power!" Daniel pointed the muzzle of the gun at Shanks and others in the distance, lit the fuse with gritted teeth, and fired several shells in a row.
"Um?"
Shanks suddenly stopped, his eyes sharpening instantly.
"Beckman!" Shanks threw the package on his shoulder towards Beckman, and at the same time, he pulled out the Griffin from his waist with his right hand.
"Everyone be careful!" Beckman also sensed the danger. He warned, caught the package, and quickly jumped to the side.
Several sharp sword lights flashed by, and the incoming shells were cut in half by Shanks while still in the air, exploding in the air in advance. The flames of the explosion burst out, but the power was greatly reduced, and only a few muffled sounds were heard.
"That was a close call!" Lucky Lu climbed up from the ground, dusted himself off, and cursed angrily, "These Bowker people are really insidious."
Gob was so angry that he kept shaking his head: "Does he think too much of us? Even at this time, he still wants to attack us from behind!"
"Daniel, that bastard!" The smile on Shanks' face disappeared, and his eyes were cold. "Damn it! His enthusiasm was all fake, he fooled me! I'm going to go back and beat him up."
"You just realized he was pretending." Beckman stopped the furious Shanks.
"Beckman, don't stop me! I have to teach him a lesson!"
"Don't worry, I've known for a long time that he's not a good person." Beckman smiled confidently and snapped his fingers lightly.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion was heard from the direction of the mine base, with thick smoke rising and flames shooting into the sky.
"Now, he doesn't have the energy to play sneak attacks anymore."
Meili's eyes instantly sparkled, and she said with admiration, "Beckman is amazing! How did you do all this?"
Lachi Lu was surprised: "Ah! Beckman, when did you do all this? I had no idea."
"Didn't you notice that I left the warehouse while you were concentrating on picking things?"
"No! I didn't notice anything!" Shanks patted Beckman's shoulder excitedly, "You're really worthy of being Beckman!"
"I felt that Daniel wasn't a good person, so I made some preparations in the ammunition depot at the mine base."
Shanks and his companions chatted as they carried the packages and continued walking forward.
"As expected of our 'brain', it's so thoughtful!"
"Beckman, you are really amazing!"
......
When Shanks and his party passed through the town, they found that there were many potholes on the road outside the town, and it was a mess. It was obvious that it had experienced a fierce battle. They could even hear noisy shouting and fighting coming from inside the town.
Merry looked around curiously at the mess and bloodstains, his face full of confusion. "We left not long ago. What on earth happened here?"
It turned out that Daniel sent two teams of soldiers at that time. One team went to the town to subdue the rebellious residents and deliberately took another route.
Another team of soldiers went to intercept Shanks and others.
Judging from the situation outside the town, the battle between this group of soldiers and the townspeople was quite fierce.
Daniel is such a treacherous and cruel person, who knows what cruel things he will do to the residents of the town.
Meili stretched his neck to look into the town, feeling that the situation inside seemed to be very bad. "Should we go in and take a look?"
"Beckman——" Shanks stared at Beckman, his unspoken meaning was self-evident.
They can't just sit back and do nothing.
"Shanks and I will go in and take a look. Rue and Gob will go back first. Uta is still waiting for the seasickness medicine."
"No problem, let's go back to the boat first, be careful."
