Chapter 524 Agree
The sea breeze, carrying the unique salty taste of the sea, whistled across the land of Elbaf...
Bucky stood there quietly, his posture slightly stiff, as if he was nailed to the spot.
His eyes were slightly red, and what was surging in them were the complex emotions caused by the collision of years of friendship and the conflict of reality.
He bit his lower lip so hard, trying hard not to let the tears fall, that his lips turned a little pale, and his slightly trembling chin revealed the turmoil in his heart.
After a long time, he finally spoke with difficulty, his voice choking, as if every word was going to break through the sourness in his throat: "Shanks, we have been through so many storms together.
On Captain Roger's ship, we face the stormy waves and explore the unknown seas together.
Have you forgotten those days?!
Is it possible that the friendship we have built over the years is not enough to outweigh the obsession in your heart?
Do you really have to drag everyone into this vortex of chaos?"
He stared straight at Shanks, his eyes full of questioning and pain, as if he wanted to find the once familiar friend in the other's face.
Shanks raised his head slightly and met Buggy's gaze. His eyes were as calm as water, and his tone was so calm that it was a little hard to understand: "Bucky, stop pretending."
Those four short words, like a sharp gaze, saw through Bucky's grief and anger.
Looking at Shanks's determined face, Buggy's mouth corners slightly raised, as if he was mocking himself, or as if he was helpless about the situation at hand. He quickly put away his disguised emotions and raised his eyebrows.
"Shanks, I really doubt now whether you were the one who published that report."
There was a hint of coldness in his voice, as if he wanted to use it to arm himself against the disappointment that was rising in his heart.
"Whether it's true or not doesn't matter anymore. I don't have the heart to explain. I just know to 'go with the flow.'"
Shanks turned slightly and looked into the distance, where was the boundary between the sea and the sky, and also the picture of the man destroying everything he had in the war at the top.
"Hmph, that's a very high-sounding statement!" Bucky snorted coldly, and the sound seemed to break through the noise of the sea breeze.
He stepped forward and said angrily: "I think you are just doing this for your own selfish interests.
You want to deal with Jenny Tren in Elbaf and just treat us as your pawns!
This move is really well calculated! " His fingers clenched unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white.
It seemed as if he was about to punch each other in the next second to vent his anger at being plotted against.
Shanks sighed softly, and the sigh was carried away by the sea breeze and dissipated in the air.
“You don’t understand what I’ve lost.
Believe it or not, what I did is not as bad as you think.
The current situation is not something I can control alone. The appearance of Jenny Tren has changed everything.
You and I both know that if there is no check and balance, this sea will never be at peace."
There was fatigue in his voice, like the rhetoric of a man trying to cover up his ambition and revenge.
“An excuse for revenge.” Bucky hit back mercilessly. The atmosphere between the two was like the calm before the storm, so depressing that it was suffocating.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, Blackbeard’s shrill laughter broke the deadlock: “Thief hahaha, Kuzan.
See? Pirates are always pirates.
When he is in a high position, he will act like he is the master of the world, but when he is defeated by a stronger person and falls to the bottom...
That ridiculous face back then is now full of ridicule
The so-called justice in my heart is also covered by revenge. What kind of noble character is this?
It was just that he had a high status at that time.
Everyone is ambitious, I just show it more obviously.”
While laughing, he patted Aokiji beside him with his hands. His action was full of pride, as if he was showing off that he had seen through the ugliness of human nature.
Listening to Blackbeard's words, Aokiji stood aside, his posture as straight as a pine tree, yet revealing a bit of loneliness.
He glanced at the red-haired Shanks who was facing Buggy not far away, then slowly lowered his eyes, as if he was lost in thought.
He didn't argue because the annoying guy was telling the truth.
In this chaotic world of pirates, interests, obsessions, and ambitions are intertwined.
Everyone is struggling for their own goals. Their former ideals and beliefs have become shaky under the impact of reality.
As a bystander, he was also deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate himself. He could only look for a faint ray of light in this undercurrent situation to prevent himself from being swallowed by the endless darkness.
……
Under Shanks' clever and powerful manipulation, the members of the Cross Guild were unwilling to
However, he was well aware of the pressing situation, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it, and reluctantly formed an alliance with Shanks.
Afterwards, they marched towards the underworld in a mighty procession, and even called it "supporting the giants."
Under the seemingly just banner, there are actually hidden trade-offs and calculations among various forces. Every step forward seems to be walking on thin ice with undercurrents.
At the same time, in the deep and gloomy corner of the underworld that seemed to be swallowed by eternal darkness - Loki's imprisonment point, the atmosphere was depressing and suffocating.
The surrounding ice and rock walls flickered with strange phosphorescence, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching every move here.
Teren stood there quietly, his posture as straight as a pine tree. Facing Loki's sudden invitation, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, a gleam of thought flashed in his eyes, and he hesitated for a moment.
This moment of pause was as if time had stood still. The only sounds in the entire space were his soft breathing and Loki's slightly rapid panting due to nervousness.
Finally, Teren raised his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and nodded gently. The sound was like the dawn that penetrated the darkness.
"No problem, I can help you."
Hearing Teren's brief but heavy answer, Loki felt as if struck by lightning.
The whole person suddenly froze, his eyes widened under the white cloth, and he was obviously stunned for a moment.
Then, as if a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time had found its vent, he burst into unprecedented laughter.
The laughter echoed in this small prison space, shaking the rock walls and seeming to shatter the endless darkness.
He laughed wildly, pulling at his imprisoned body with both hands.
The seastone chain bound him tightly, and every pull caused blood to flow from his wrists.
But he seemed unaware of it, and all he saw was the freedom that was about to be his.
“Go… Go… Go to Elbaf Heaven. There is the key to free me!!”
Loki's voice became sharp and piercing because of excitement, like the cry of a night owl, and it could be heard far away in this gloomy underworld.
"Key?" Teren frowned slightly, and followed Loki's instructions, looking at the cold seastone chain in front of him.
As if estimating the power of this confinement.
Then, he turned his head to look at Thor, who had been silent beside him, with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Is everything okay?" The tone was calm, yet revealed trust in Thor's abilities.
Thor stood there quietly, slowly changing his left hand back into the form of a dragon claw, which gleamed with a cold, hard metallic luster under the dim light.
He raised his hand and gently scratched the chain. In an instant, it was like Mars hitting the earth, and flames burst out in all directions.
Accompanied by an extremely harsh sound, like the scream of metal being torn.
The sound was like a sharp shock wave, vibrating back and forth in this closed space, causing pain in everyone's eardrums.
Immediately afterwards, a deep scratch appeared on the chain that had been extremely strong and seemed indestructible, as if it had been bitten fiercely by a giant beast.
"If the captain wants, I can chop these things into pieces right now."
Thor raised his head slightly and blew on his nails, as if he had accomplished a trivial task.
There was unquestionable strong confidence in his tone.
"What a scary guy." Loki felt a chill in his heart when he heard the casual conversation between the two, filled with fear.
