Chapter 16 News Reports

In less than a day, the news that Red-Haired Shanks, the Four Emperors, sneaked into the Marine Headquarters and escaped successfully spread like wildfire on the sea, and spread quickly among the major forces.

A big man like him, any slight movement would attract endless speculation, was he provoking, or was there some other reason?

Of course, what shocked others more than his sneaking into the Marine Headquarters was that his left arm, which was broken many years ago, was miraculously restored, and it looked no different from a normal arm. This was definitely not something that an ordinary doctor could do. It must be something strange that happened at sea.

Red-Haired Shanks, who only had one arm, was already so powerful that he could shake the world. It was unimaginable how terrifying Red-Haired Shanks was now. Even the other three sea emperors couldn't help but take it seriously when they heard the news.

Everyone had a vague premonition that the world pattern would change dramatically in a few years.

Of course, the next day, Cheng Xi's bounty was successfully spread among various organizations on the sea. The woman on the bounty wore a mask, glasses and a hood, with only a pair of indifferent eyes on her face, looking extremely mysterious.

Cheng Xi swore that she was really low-key, but Morgans was a guy who exaggerated the facts in order to make eye-catching news.

The content in the newspaper described Cheng Xi and Shanks as being so affectionate and intimate. Even a simple glance at each other turned into a look of affection in his report.

With a "pop", Cheng Xi, who was sitting on the deck railing, closed the newspaper and threw it hard on the deck, angrily saying: "Write, just write, Morgans, who can write better than you."

Looking at the bounty in her hand, she didn't know whether it was because her two sword strikes were too fierce and made Sakaski angry, or because of Shanks' reputation as a four emperor, in short, the two sword strikes earned her a bounty of 98 million, and a code name that was so embarrassing that a castle could be carved out - the masked woman.

Seeing the bounty in her hand, Shanks smiled and said, "Hey, Cheng Xi, you have a wanted order, 98 million, great."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xi did not respond to him, but looked at him with a little... evasiveness .

On the side, Rem Jones picked up the newspaper that Cheng Xi had thrown to the ground with curiosity.

"Don't look!" Cheng Xi quickly jumped off the railing to stop her. She held the top of the newspaper, and Rem Jones held the bottom of the newspaper and didn't let go. The two fought with each other.

"Please, Rem Jones, don't look." Thinking of the embarrassing content inside, Cheng Xi simply didn't care about face and begged for mercy directly.

The more she didn't let him look, the more curious Rem Jones became and the more he wanted to see it. In the end, the newspaper was torn in half with a tear.

Seeing that they both had half of the newspaper in their hands, Cheng Xi decided to go all out and ignite a flame with his fingertips to burn both halves of the newspaper. The ashes were blown away by the wind without leaving any trace, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lime Jones, the story is in the wind, just follow the wind." Cheng Xi made a face at him, and then ran back to the cabin.

What she didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the cabin, the second newspaper gull flew over. After buying the newspaper, Lime Jones couldn't wait to sit down and read it.

He wanted to see what was written in the newspaper that made Cheng Xi embarrassed like that?

Shanks followed him and read it.

At first glance, the title was outrageous, but inexplicably he wanted to continue reading.

As time went on, several heads came over.

"Shock! Red Hair sneaked into Marinford for love, and even when he escaped, he didn't forget to bring back three cups of milk tea for her!"

"The Four Emperors' lover or partner? Dodder on the Redfors!"

"No way! So that's the relationship. The World Economic News Agency risked its life to reveal the big news of Red Hair!" Everyone

:?

The ending of this report was extremely hasty, of course they could understand it, because if it didn't end, it should have been published in an adult magazine.

After reading it, everyone's eyes went back and forth between Shanks and the newspaper title. No one spoke, and the scene fell into an awkward silence.

"It's written... well, haha." Jesus Bu spoke to break the awkwardness.

"Boss, I'm actually illiterate. I can't read." Lime Jones tried to save it.

As for Shanks at the center of the storm.

Shanks thought...

that this report was really well written. Although Cheng Xi was not Dodder, it was harmless. At least it praised the touching love between him and Cheng Xi.

He carefully put the newspaper in the drawer of the captain's room, where there was also the amulet that Cheng Xi gave him on a rainy day many years ago. On the day of the King of the Sea, it was not that the amulet was useless, but that he did not choose to use it, because it was the only gift Cheng Xi gave him.

Then he destroyed the newspaper in the drawer that reported Cheng Xi's death.

The replacement of newspapers means a new beginning.

Because of this newspaper, Cheng Xi digested it in the room for two days before continuing to play on the deck with everyone. Similarly, everyone tacitly pretended that they had not read the newspaper.

Cheng Xi finally did not choose to live in the Sabaody Archipelago for a long time, firstly because it was too chaotic with all kinds of people there, and secondly because he often saw those celestial dragons who looked uglier than pigs.

She got off the ship at a nearby island next to Shampoo Land. The island is called Furness Island. It has distinct seasons and beautiful scenery. The island is full of bright and beautiful flowers. It is an ideal place for retirement.

After Cheng Xi found a place to settle down, the Red Group stayed here for nearly half a month on the pretext of replenishing supplies, and exchanged Den Den Mushi numbers and life cards.

When leaving, Cheng Xi went to the port to see everyone off. Although she only stayed on the ship for less than two months, she still liked these friends very much. Now that it was time to say goodbye, she would be a little reluctant.

Shanks didn't want to separate from Cheng Xi either. At that moment, he held Cheng Xi's wrist tightly.

"Come with me." Even the most powerful pirate couldn't help but soften his tone in front of the person he liked, "Let's go on an adventure together." The

look he gave her was too hot, as if a net woven with tenderness tightly wrapped Cheng Xi, making it impossible for her to escape. This look was really not innocent.

"I'm sorry." Cheng Xi dodged Shanks's gaze, "But I want to live a peaceful life for a few years first."

This was the nth time he had been rejected. Shanks was overwhelmed with an uncontrollable and strong possessive desire. At that moment, dark thoughts sprouted and grew in his heart.

He wanted to take her away.

Two voices in his mind were arguing with each other. One voice scolded him for being a big fool, saying that the treasures that pirates liked should be snatched and hidden away. The other voice said that she should follow her choice and be free.

The noisy and dense voices on the Redfors came, all of which were voices that tempted and persuaded Cheng Xi to go on an adventure with them. It was a world of difference from the way they disliked her as a little kid who drank juice.

Cheng Xi bowed to everyone seriously: "Thank you very much for taking care of me on the ship for so many days. Everyone is really good, and I like you too."

Most of the red group couldn't help but praise, and they all made a wave-like gesture happily after Cheng Xi said that, except for the slightly calm deputy captain, but in fact, the deputy captain was also a little happy in his heart.

"Although I can't continue the adventure with you."

"But separation is the beginning of reunion. We will meet again one day, and then I will treat you to the fine wine I brewed myself."

She waved goodbye to everyone, and the afternoon sun shone on her, bright and brilliant.

This sunshine also covered the darkness in Shanks' heart.

He raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "I'm really looking forward to meeting you next time, so that I can drink the wine brewed by Cheng Xi."

Shanks hugged Cheng Xi. Cheng Xi thought it was just an ordinary farewell hug, but she didn't know why her mind suddenly thought of the news in the newspaper yesterday, and her eyes widened instantly.

It seems a little wrong.

"I'm going back first, goodbye!" Cheng Xi broke free from Shanks' arms and ran back without looking back.

What else can I do if I don't run? Can I tell Shanks that when you hugged me, my mind was full of those fabricated lingering and affectionate stories in the newspaper?

When she was in a daze before, her mind was full of "The vast horizon is my love" and "The Wumeng Mountains are connected to the mountains beyond the mountains."

Now her mind is playing "On the deck of the Redfors, the red-haired man hugged her soft and slender waist and leaned over to kiss her." and "When the night was deep, the lights in the captain's room were ambiguous..."

Morgans, do you know that this is really embarrassing?

She secretly swore that one day she would get revenge.

When the red group saw Cheng Xi pushing Shanks away and running away, they all laughed and joked that she was shy.

Not long after the ship sailed on the sea, Shanks received everyone's condemning gaze.

"Why are you all looking at me like this?"

Jesus Bu: "Boss, you are too unlucky. You haven't caught up with little Cheng Xi for two months."

Hongo added: "I think it's obvious that you don't even dare to express your feelings, and you are still playing the "we are very good friends" game."

Shanks:... Don't say it so bluntly!

As the only married man on the ship, Jesus began to impart his experience to their captain. He talked about his experience for a long time, but was stopped by Beckman's words.

"But Cheng Xi has already left the ship. No matter how much you say, it will be useless."

Jesus was very dissatisfied with being interrupted, so he said angrily: "Cheng Xi and you don't play well, no matter how much you say, it will be useless."

Beckman: "Cheng Xi doesn't hate me."

"On the contrary, we are good book friends."

Everyone: ...?

In the days when Cheng Xi lost too much blood, he was not as energetic as before. He could only read quietly every day. The only people who could calm down and read on this ship were Beckman and Hongo. Hongo was usually in his medical room. In addition, because Cheng Xi repaired Shanks' arm, Beckman relaxed his hostility towards her. During that time, the two of them got along well, and sometimes recommended books to each other.

Although Cheng Xi was much younger than him, Beckman found that their book lists were surprisingly similar, and their views on many books were basically the same. Sometimes she would even give better interpretations, so over time, they became book friends with a good relationship.

The old man who had been in the love field for many years finally gave their captain some advice: "If you don't want to know nothing about her new life next time you meet, then don't treat Den Den Mushi as a decoration."
