"Haha, Buggy, you can start anytime! Heh heh~"
[Late at night, in the warship's conference room!]
[It turned out...]
[Shanks' base was on Elbaf~~~]
[As for the matter of Saul and the red Poneglyph, Shanks already knew about it!]
[He knew that Luffy would eventually come here to search for the last Poneglyph, so as long as Luffy arrived here, people would naturally come to Shanks~~~]
[In fact, with Shanks' current ability, if he wanted to go to Raftel, it wouldn't be a difficult task.]
[But he knew that even if he went, it would be meaningless!!!]
[When the Roger Pirates went to Raftel, Shanks, despite being sick and caring for Buggy, missed going to Raftel, but Roger told Shanks many things!]
[Among them was about the "Legend of the King"...]
[So, if there was no "Joyboy", Shanks would not go to Raftel~~~]
"Bastard Shanks, didn't you say you wouldn't go to Raftel? Why are you now hugging Luffy's thigh?"
[Buggy, at the banquet, grabbed Shanks' collar and asked indignantly.]
"Ah haha~ Buggy, didn't I say? It's just that I temporarily didn't plan to go at that time, and it's not like I'm never going in this life!"
[At the end of the class, he pulled a wine glass from Buggy's hand and drank with him...]
[Buggy said displeased, "Cut the crap! You handed the captaincy to Straw Hat Luffy back then, you must have been waiting for this day, right???"]
"What do you mean by that, I..."
[Shanks laughed heartily. He looked at Luffy and continued, "In fact, that place is only meaningful if Luffy goes! I... I just want to be a witness!"]
[Speaking of which, Shanks pulled Buggy over: "Alright, you will also be a witness."]
"What a joke! You and I have never been to Raftel!!! How can you know these things?" Buggy opened Shanks' arm.
Shanks smiled faintly: "It's what the captain told me."
"???"
[Buggy's brow furrowed: "Why did the captain tell you alone, but not me?"]
Shanks laughed heartily: "This is not because the captain is biased, but because your mouth is too big to keep secrets! If some things were known by you, they would harm you!"
"..."
[Buggy's lips twitched~~~]
[Although he felt a little displeased in his heart, he still had to admit what Shanks said was true.]
[Secrets in his mouth are certainly not kept hidden~~~]
[From the moment the Five Elders tried to kill Luffy at the War of the Best, it can be seen how important Luffy is!!!]
[And from what Shanks just said, Buggy can naturally tell that what Captain Roger said to Shanks back then also involved Luffy!!!]
[Of course...]
[At that time, although Luffy wasn't there, he probably already had some kind of "premonition" in his heart~~~]
[If this kind of thing came out of his mouth, he would definitely become a target in the eyes of the World Government...]
[By then, Buggy will definitely be caught by the World Government and severely interrogated, suffering a fate worse than death...]
"Oh, right. The captain only told me two things." Shanks said.
[Buggy was slightly startled: "One is about Joyboy, right? What's the other one?"]
[Shanks again pulled Buggy: "The other thing is, the captain said that I am the only one he can rest assured with. If possible, you take your group and form a new pirate group. When the day comes when we can advance to Raftel, you and I will explore the mysteries of Raftel together..."]
[Buggy's body trembled violently!!!]
[As expected...]
[The captain couldn't have forgotten me~~~]
[Instantly, Buggy's eyes turned red, and he secretly turned his head to the other side, not wanting Shanks to see his flushed eyes~~~]
"What? Are you crying?"
[Seeing Buggy's reaction, how could Shanks not understand Buggy's current situation? But he deliberately reached out and grabbed Buggy's neck, squeezing his head over here~~~]
"What a joke! I would cry? That's what children do, alright!!!"
[Buggy directly gave Shanks a Human-Human Separation, then continued to use his hind brain to fight Shanks~~~]
[He absolutely wouldn't let Shanks see his red eyes...]
[However...]
[Shanks, relying on his Observation Haki, directly dodged Buggy's Observation Haki, and instantly came to Buggy's head~~~]
"Hahaha! I've been discovered!!!" Shanks laughed loudly~~~]
"Bastard Shanks! I'll fight you!!!"
[His embarrassed state was discovered, Buggy instantly broke down and pounced on Shanks. What was he doing now...]
[Gol D. Roger: "Hahahaha!!! Seeing you guys over there so happy, I'm relieved~~~"]
[Shiryu: "Captain, don't make a mistake. You're already resurrected now... Don't say anything like 'I'm no longer alive'~~~"]
Gol D. Roger: "Oh, right! I'm relieved too."
Buggy: "Hateful Shanks! Even if he's the one from over there, he's just as hateful!!"
Shanks: "Hahaha!!"
[After causing trouble for two days in Elbaf, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates set off together!]
[Inside Thousand Sunny's operations meeting room...]
[Four simulated log pointers lay on the table, each corresponding to a red Poneglyph coordinate.]
[When these four simulated log pointers' coordinates aligned, each simulated log pointer's pointer vibrated at a high frequency~~~]
[When all the pointers stopped, two irregular magnetic lines intersected, forming a cross~~~]
[Looking at this scene, Luffy's confusion was also resolved.]
[Before, when he obtained the third Poneglyph in Wano Country, Luffy had already thought of something.]
[Since the connection of the four log pointers is Raftel, then theoretically, he only needs to obtain three log pointers to reach it.]
[As long as he connects these three points to form a triangle, and then walks along the sides of this triangle, he will definitely reach Raftel!!!]
[Of course... doing this will definitely be difficult~~~]
[But now, when the coordinates of the real Raftel appeared, Luffy realized that his previous idea was wrong!!!]
[Because the connection of these four coordinates is not a straight line drawn on a map, but represents the connection of their magnetic fields...]
[The magnetic fields are not straight lines. So, to obtain the correct Raftel coordinates, one must search for all four Poneglyphs~~~]
[And now, when the coordinates formed by the mutual influence of the four separately recognized red Poneglyph log pointers were displayed, the true Raftel coordinates were actually displayed!]
[Looking at the magnetic field location in front of him, Luffy nervously placed an empty log pointer at the intersection of the magnetic fields~~~]
[Half an hour later, the log pointer placed at the intersection by Luffy finally settled down~~~]
"Is it ready?"
[Usopp's eyes were full of anticipation and impatience~~~]
[Brook stared at the gradually stabilizing log pointer, his emotions agitated: "It's truly a thrilling moment...! Although I no longer have blood~~ Moshi moshi moshi~~"]
[Sanji continuously puffed on his cigarette: "What on earth is the Great Secret Treasure..."]
[Zoro gave him a side-eye: "It's not a beautiful woman~~~"]
[Hearing this, Sanji was instantly enraged: "Bastard Zoro, you're looking for a fight!!!"]
[Zoro: "Heh heh, let's fight!"]
[Just then~~~]
["It's done!!!—"]
[Nami suddenly shouted excitedly. She reached out her small hand and carefully picked up the fully recorded log pointer~~~]
[She held it high in front of everyone, as if holding a rare treasure...]
[Everyone's eyes converged on this log pointer!!!]
[Luffy suddenly shouted loudly: "Navigator!!!"]
"Huh!"
[Nami, with her intelligent and beautiful face, looked at Luffy: "I'm here!"]
"Coordinates... Raftel!!"
"Full speed ahead!!!—"
"Yes!!!—"
