Chapter 154 – Red-Haired’s Thoughts
Somewhere in a small coastal town...
The Red Hair Pirates were enjoying another round of drinks at a quiet tavern. Frankly, they’d been bored stiff lately. Besides training, they didn’t have much else to do—but for pirates, peaceful days like these were luxuries that never lasted long.
"It looks like this sea’s not gonna stay calm much longer," Shanks muttered, skimming through a stack of intel.
"New pirates, the Four Emperors, the Navy... all of them are on the move."
Ben Beckman leaned back, puffing on his cigarette. "Are you thinking of getting involved?"
Shanks gave a lopsided grin. "Of course. Some things you just can’t ignore. The Navy disappearing? That’s not something we can let happen."
"Heh," Ben chuckled dryly. "Intervening, huh? Last time, Whitebeard didn’t even listen when you warned him about Blackbeard. You think he’ll listen now?"
Shanks laughed aloud, the memory still fresh. "Yeah... Old Man Whitebeard’s a stubborn bastard. I told him not to chase after Blackbeard, said the guy was dangerous. He didn’t listen at all."
He sighed, resting the intel on the table.
"No point in talking sense to him. He’ll do what he wants anyway. But I’m not here to make things worse. Without the Navy, this sea’ll fall into chaos. The Four Emperors alone aren’t enough to keep it in check."
