## One Piece Chapter 434, pages 5-7: Whitebeard and Red Hair - Chapter: 434 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Shanks, Edward Newgate, Marco, Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Garp, Sengoku ### Summary Page 5: Shanks apologizes first: "EXCUSE ME." He admits, "SINCE THIS IS AN ENEMY'S SHIP... I KINDA MADE A BIT OF A THREAT." Whitebeard glares at him and says the wound from that man aches whenever he looks at Shanks' face. Shanks has brought a huge gourd of sake, not a weapon, and says, "I BROUGHT THE HEALING WATER, I HAVE NO INTENTION TO FIGHT." His reason is simple: "I'M HERE TO DISCUSS SOMETHING WITH YOU." Whitebeard laughs, "GURARARARA...!!" but calls him a "BASTARD" and asks whether such words really come from a man whose haki is in full force. Even before the conversation begins, peace feels fragile. Page 6: Whitebeard's crew cannot help reacting to the damage Shanks has caused. Someone shouts, "HEY, RED HAIR, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO US!!" and Shanks casually tries to recruit Marco: "OH! YOU'RE MARCO FROM THE FIRST DIVISION, RIGHT? DO YOU WANT TO JOIN MY CREW?" Marco snaps back, "SHUT UP!!" Whitebeard tells his men, "YEAH... THERE'S NO WAR AS HE SAYS... LEAVE US ALONE FOR NOW." Once the deck clears, the two emperors drink. Whitebeard sniffs the sake and says, "BOOZE FROM WEST BLUE, HUH...?" and "THE QUALITY ISN'T VERY GOOD, IS IT?" Shanks smiles and answers, "I'VE TRAVELED THROUGH THE SEAS OF THE WORLD... BUT NOTHING IS SUPERIOR TO THE BOOZE MADE WITH THE WATER FROM MY PLACE. IT'S THE BOOZE FROM MY HOME-TOWN. DRINK UP!!" Page 7: Whitebeard drinks deep, and the sake earns a grudging approval: "YEAH... NOT BAD..." The drink pulls the old emperor backward in time. "... ROGER... GARP... SENGOKU..." he says, naming the men from the age before this one. "THERE AREN'T VERY MANY PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT THE SEA BACK THEN." He tells Shanks, "IT'S BEEN 22 YEARS... IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING...!!" and then measures how far the red-haired pirate has come: "YOU'VE CLIMBED PRETTY FAR UP THE LADDER, TOO... BEFORE, YOU WERE JUST A PUNY APPRENTICE ON GOL D. ROGER'S SHIP...!!!" Shanks says nothing at first, but the silence carries the weight of Roger's era.
