Chapter 33: The Mechanics of Pirate Warfare

Lynch stood on the icy back seat of the bicycle and yelled this sentence with all his might.

"..." Kuzan didn't react much, he just glanced back at the kid standing in the back seat.

Not far ahead, a red-haired man lying on broken wooden boards, covered with a straw hat, drifting with the waves, probably heard Lynch's shout, "Woo..." He stretched his limbs on the wooden boards and stretched comfortably.

"Oh, did we drift to an island?" the man muttered to himself, taking off the straw hat covering his face, revealing his handsome features, stubble, and uninhibited eyes... He sat up on the wooden board, put the straw hat on his head with one hand, looked around, and still saw the endless blue sea. He said disappointedly: "Why haven't you come ashore yet? Do I really have to learn how to swim from Mr. Rayleigh... Huh?"

He noticed that not far away, there was a tall man in a suit and a sleep mask on his head, riding a bicycle on the sea, looking at him indifferently.

"Hey! Hello!" Shanks stood on the broken wood, waved to Kuzan and said loudly: "Are you also lost at sea? Haha, what bad luck!"

Kuzan sat on the bicycle, one foot on the frozen sea surface, let go of the handlebars and straightened his tie, and said coldly: "Red-haired Shanks... As a rookie pirate captain with a high reputation, you should be on the Grand Line with your pirate group. Why did you come to the West Sea alone?"

"Oh, you know me? It seems my fame has increased a lot, hahahaha!"

Shanks laughed heartily, adjusted the straw hat on his head, held his coat with his other hand and draped it over one shoulder. He casually glanced at the arc-shaped sea horizon with rippling waves.

"West Sea is my hometown. I've wanted to come back and take a look for a long time. Some things happened recently, so I finally decided to come and see someone... But the boat I borrowed was destroyed in the storm. How unlucky! Fortunately, I didn't bring Jesus Bu and the others with me, otherwise I don't know how they would laugh at me! Hahaha..."

Kuzan said: "West Sea is your hometown? What a surprise. I heard that many clues point to your origin on the ship of a certain terrible man..."

"So you're going to arrest me here, Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Mr. Kuzan?" Shanks smiled slightly and said slowly, "The Marine that the kid in the back seat just mentioned is you, right?"

"That's right!" Lynch exclaimed while standing on the ice back seat of the bicycle.

At the same time, dark energy surged on his body, and a human-shaped phantom separated from it.

"Hey! How old is Aokiji now? How old is Red Hair? Can he win? Although I want him to be rescued by me, please don't let him get involved!"

Lynch quickly asked his good brother, the armor stand "BIB".

“…” Kuzan frowned slightly.

"This kid..." Shanks showed a surprised expression, and after a brief pause, he looked around at Lynch and the dark shadow beside Lynch, and asked with a puzzled look, "What kind of gibberish dialect are you talking about?"

"BIB"'s eyes flashed white, and he searched through the memories of his previous life that were copied from his original body, and quickly found relevant information about the One Piece comics.

It also answered in fluent Mandarin Chinese: "Now, it is the timeline when Robin is just over 8 years old, which is 20 years before 'Luffy went to sea'.

"So, Aokiji is currently around 27 years old, and Red Hair is 17 years old...

"According to Episode 0 of One Piece, when Red Hair was 15 years old, he witnessed the public execution of his old captain, Pirate King Roger, in Roger Town, East China Sea. It was in the scenes where he took Usopp's father Jesus to Usopp's hometown on a small wooden boat. Considering that both happened in the East China Sea, the time interval between these two events should not be long...

"From what Aokiji said just now, we can know that Red Hair has already formed his own pirate group and entered the Grand Line...

"In addition, the Red Hair Pirates stopped at Windmill Town, where the protagonist Luffy lives, 10 years before Luffy's voyage, when Red Hair was 27 years old, 10 years after us now...

"As for the time when Red Hair became a Yonko, it was six years before the 'two years later' story, when Red Hair was 33 years old, which is about 16 years after us now..."

Lin Qi complained in Mandarin speechlessly: "What a lot of nonsense! In the end, I don't even know if Brother Face can beat Aokiji now!"

He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Aokiji is 27 years old now, so his strength should be considered complete, right? That is, the combat power of a general... and the red-haired brother is only 17 years old, maybe he has not even reached the strength of a quasi-general, or even the level of a vice-general... But think about it from another angle, if nothing unexpected happens, in the future'plot' when Luffy defeats the Four Emperors and becomes the Pirate King, he should only be 19 years old!

"The second generation of Straw Hat Pirates, Red-haired Shanks, who also has the fate of a protagonist and has been on the ship of Pirate King Roger, witnessed Roger, Rayleigh, Whitebeard, Oden and other monsters... maybe at the age of 17, he already has the combat power of an admiral or even a Four Emperors! What's more, he has not yet 'gambled' one arm on the new era... He is a complete body with both hands intact!"

Shanks stood on the wooden board, very surprised. He noticed that the kid standing on the back of the bicycle seemed to look at him with strange eyes from time to time. "What kind of look is that kid giving? It's really weird..."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"..." Kuzan sighed softly, lifted his long legs slightly, and stepped off the bicycle. The tires were wrapped in layers of ice, so they were stable and did not fall down.

"What?" Kuzan's mouth and even his body began to emit wisps of cold air. "As a pirate, do you feel guilty and want to do something good?"

He walked forward, and with every step he took, the area of ​​the frozen sea surface expanded further. Finally, the rippling sea surface within a radius of dozens of meters was frozen into a layer of crystal ice.

“I don’t know if this counts as a good deed…”

Shanks grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist with his backhand and smiled, "But the kid in your car obviously doesn't want to go with you, right?"

Kuzan raised his right hand covered with ice and said with a breath of cold air: "It seems that you really want me to arrest you and put you in jail."

"That won't do!" Shanks pulled the knife out a few inches and smiled, "You are indeed very powerful, I may not be able to beat you! But... this is on the sea, and you ate the devil fruit, right?"

Could it be...?! Kuzan's eyes narrowed, and he saw Shanks grinning, with a flash of the knife in his hand, slashing at the frozen sea beneath their feet.
