CH 45: Throw Him into The Sea.
East Blue, 'New Dawn'.
Everyone is welcoming Makino for officially joining their crew, suddenly the Red Haired Shanks voice came from the shore.
"Koch, are you wake?"
Koch came out of his room and stood on the bow and looked at the Red Haired Shanks below.
"What do you want?"
The Red Haired Shanks took a deep breath, he did not dare to look at Koch's eyes directly and summoned up his courage.
"Can you let Makino join my pirate crew?"
Koch was shocked, looking at Shanks like an idiot.
"Huh"
After hearing Shanks word, Makino who was standing next to Koch, was surprised and look at Shanks in astonishment.
"Why?" Why do you want me to join your pirate group.
"This is the latest bounty poster, Makino, you also get the bounty of 500,000 Beri." The Red Haired Shanks waved the bounty poster in his hand and looked seriously at Koch.
"Koch, you should understand very well that the Marine and the World Government will do anything possible to capture you. Makino is normal and have no strength to protect herself, it is very dangerous for her to stay at your ship, it will be better if she joins my ship."
Koch smiled and asked, "Are you worried that I can't protect Makino?"
'Yes' The redhead Shanks didn't answer, but he was thinking that insider his head, Shanks know Koch is strong, but he knew one person can't fight Marines and Koch requirements for new crew member make it hard for the Sun and Moon pirates to become stronger in short time.
"It's better to let Makino stay on my ship for a few years, after a few years, when the Sun and Moon Pirates becomes strong pirate crew, you can take her back." The Red-Haired Shanks voice became smaller and smaller.
"No, I've already joined the Sun and Moon Pirates, I won't leave the crew." Makino shook her head; she doesn't know why Shanks want her to join his pirate crew.
"Koch, why don't you think about it again." Shanks looked at Koch with a smile.
Makino looked at Koch worriedly, she doesn't want to leave the ship, she has become good friends with the girls, and Shanks pirate crew members are all men.
Koch came at Makino side and patted her on the shoulder: "As long as I'm here, I will always protect my crew member."
"And for those who want to take my crew members, they must pay the price."
Koch drew his saber and aimed at Red Haired Shanks below and jump down.
Red Haired Shanks quickly blocked Koch attack with his saber and said to Koch.
"I know it is my fault, but I did it for Makino's safety and you can't make decisions for her, she will make her own decision."
The Red-Haired Shanks looked at Makino expectantly.
Makino didn't hesitate and said firmly "I will stay at Sun and Moon Pirates ship."
The Red-Haired Shanks heart was shattered, and all the hope was lost from his eyes.
Shanks felt Koch attack was getting faster and faster, he doesn't even have time to cry.
"I admit my mistake, can you stop attacking?"
"What did you say? I didn't hear it."
"Then Makino will stay at your ship, take care of her." The Red-Haired Shanks desperately returned to his ship and said to his crew members. "Hurry up and sail, hurry up."
Koch looked at Shanks who is running away, he really needs to teach some manners to Shanks.
"Gion"
Gion turned in to a phoenix and spread her wings, Koch jumped and landed on her back as she flew towards the Red-Haired pirate's ship.
"Why are you running."
Koch leaves the 'New Dawn' on the shore and goes after the Red Hair Pirates himself.
...
"I knew it, it would be strange if you didn't get beaten for doing this kind of thing." Ben Beckman said to Shanks.
"Don't talk, let's get out from here."
The Red-Haired Pirates group hurriedly set off, but they couldn't get rid of Phoenix's pursuit.
Standing on top of the phoenix, Koch swung the saber, and the flying slash came towards the Shanks ship.
"I knew I was wrong, I apologies for that." The Red-Haired Shanks kept apologizing as he blocked the attack.
In the sea, it is very difficult to protect the pirate ship.
"He deserved it" Gaban who was also on the ship watched the fight with interest, even Benn Beckman and others are just watching.
After Koch took the 'Ace' away Gaban was not interested in staying at such lonely place, so he left with Shanks.
Koch and Shanks keep fighting but after few minutes, Benn Beckman and other can't take it anymore.
"If it goes on like this, the ship will break down."
"What to do?"
"It is better to throw the captain into the sea, so that Koch won't attack the ship."
"Good idea."
"Then who will do it?"
Gaban stood up. "I will do it."
...
While the Red Haired Shanks wasn't paying attention, Gaban kicked him in the ass, and Shanks flew out of the ship and landed on the ocean.
The pirate ship quickly changed its direction away from the area, where the Red Haired Shanks fell into the sea.
"Captain, we will pick you up later."
The pirate ship did not turn back and left; Shanks can even hear the sound of everyone gloating from the ship.
The redhead Shanks was stunned and before he could scold these ruthless and unscrupulous crew members, he felt the scorching aura, roasting the sea, and ripping apart the sea with a huge flying slash.
Redhead Shanks was full of bitterness, he desperately swam to protect himself, he went below the sea.
few minutes later, Koch just rode the Phoenix and turned to his ship.
After some time.
The Red Hair Pirates ship 'Red Force' came to this sea slowly.
"Is this the boss?"
Everyone stared at the Red Haired Shanks floating in the sea, his red haired was almost burned and his clothes were tattered.
"Yes, he deserves it."
