Chapter 158: Persuasion Failed, Shanks Was Used!
Shanks fell silent.
Ryuunosuke, noticing this, smirked and stared at him with a playful glint in his eye.
"Tell me, Shanks," Ryuunosuke said casually, "you didn’t come all the way here just to stop me, did you?"
He didn’t bother hiding his suspicions. Shanks showing up now—of all times—was odd. Even more so was the hesitation in his expression.
That wasn’t like Shanks at all.
"Ryuunosuke, do you even understand the consequences of what you’re about to do?" Shanks finally asked, his voice low.
"I do," Ryuunosuke replied without hesitation. "But tell me something. If Ben Beckman were captured by the Navy... would you just stand by and let him be executed?"
"Ben Beckman..." Shanks turned to glance at his right-hand man, and despite the tense situation, he let out a laugh.
It was classic Shanks.
Even now, he somehow found the absurdity in things.
