While the few people were talking, that figure's speed suddenly increased by a times.
In just over half a minute, it had already approached. The next moment, a huge sea dragon broke out of the sea, its dragon head raised high, its dragon eyes gazing at everyone.
"Shanks, I'm here."
"I knew it was you. I saw you once at Fish-Man Island last time, and I remembered your aura. Recently, I've heard a lot about your rumors!"
Shanks laughed, saying, "Your captain didn't come?"
"The captain is busy with one thing. He'll only appear after that thing is done."
Vladimir's tone was calm, directly saying, "Where are the Devil Fruits?"
Hearing this, the corners of Shanks' mouth twitched, speechless for a long time. The other party was really not at all polite.
"Lucky Roux, go get the stuff."
Turning his head and instructing a sentence, Shanks said very boldly, "Come, come, come, we'll hold a banquet first since we have a guest. Sea Dragon, I happen to have something to talk to you about."
Seeing this, Vladimir shook his body, transforming into a way white light, projecting on the deck.
The splendor scattered, a handsome young man suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded.
"You... can even become a person!?"
"You... can even become a person!?"
A crowd of pirates stared dumbfounded at Vladimir.
Yasopp said subconsciously, "Animal-type Dragon King Fruit Sea Dragon form?"
After finishing speaking, he suddenly reacted, "No, ability users can't move in the ocean. Even if you're strong, at most you have resistance, it's impossible to be without any fear."
"If you're not an ability user, then what are you? I haven't heard of any dragon-type creatures possessing this kind of talent!"
Ben Beckman frowned slightly. He considered himself to be well-traveled, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of thing.
As the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates, he had some understanding of most races in the world. Even if he hadn't seen them, he would collect the corresponding intelligence.
Hearing this, Vladimir didn't respond, and didn't mean to explain.
Shanks laughed, "Who doesn't have a few secrets, and it's always been the mysterious Phantom. Come, come, come, let's drink."
He entertained warmly, starting a banquet on the deck.
Without preparing any tables, all the delicacies were placed directly on the deck, and a group of pirates sat in a circle.
Vladimir also sat down next to Shanks. As soon as his butt hit the ground, a large bowl was placed in front of him, and Shanks took a large jug of wine and poured it full.
"This is the best wine from my hometown, try it!"
"Wine from the East Blue?"
Vladimir smiled, picked up the big bowl and directly drank it down in one gulp.
He often drank wine in his previous life, and his alcohol tolerance was also not bad. At this moment, he showed a very bold appearance.
The clear wine entered his mouth, immediately transforming into a spicy taste, blooming on the tip of his tongue. After a mouthful of wine entered his stomach, his whole body suddenly warmed up a lot.
The alcohol content of the wine wasn't high. There weren't such sophisticated distillation techniques in this era, but the water quality for brewing was probably very excellent, so the taste was quite unique.
People who didn't drink often would have a hard time tasting the difference, but for Vladimir, it was quite a surprise.
"Good wine, among the wines I've drunk, it can rank in the top five."
"Top five?" Shanks was stunned, "There's something even better than this?"
This was already the best wine he could take out. It was produced in the East Blue, and the annual output wasn't high.
"That's right, if there's a chance I can bring you a jug."
Vladimir smiled without saying anything, saying a sentence casually.
"Good, that's settled then!"
Shanks laughed, and immediately wasn't polite either.
The two drank wine and talked.
"I heard that some time ago, you and Kaido fought on the Sabaody Archipelago?"
After drinking for half a round, and tasting five flavors of dishes, Shanks mentioned it as if unintentionally.
"There was such a thing, it's only been ten days, and even you know about it here." Vladimir glanced at him, "Speaking of which, how is Kaido?"
"They fought for two days and two nights. In the end, Kaido was defeated and captured. The Sabaody Archipelago was also destroyed by a third because of this." Shanks shook his head, "That's a madman, suicide is his hobby, challenging others is his hobby. He had challenged Whitebeard alone before, and was also defeated."
Crazy courting death, the pity was that no one could kill him.
"He was locked up?" Vladimir asked.
"No, he ran. The Navy used all kinds of methods, but couldn't kill him. In the end, he was still caught with an opportunity, injured Akainu, and disappeared."
Hearing this, Vladimir was speechless. Sengoku would probably be pissed to death.
"Speaking of which, why did you Phantom fight with him?" Shanks asked again.
"It's nothing, we just happened to meet, and exchanged a few moves."
"...You're also a madman!"
This time it was Shanks' turn to be speechless, only then remembering that the person next to him also had a similar style.
The two continued to drink, and after a while, Lucky Roux came out of the ship's cabin with a box.
"Boss, the stuff is here."
Lucky Roux was a fat man, wearing small sunglasses, and as he walked, he made heavy thudding footsteps.
