## One Piece Chapter 434, pages 7-9: Whitebeard and Red Hair - Chapter: 434 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Edward Newgate, Shanks, Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Garp, Sengoku, Buggy, Dracule Mihawk, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary 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. Page 8: Whitebeard remembers the old days almost fondly. "IT'S STRANGE HOW WE MET WHILE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER..." he says, then adds, "BECAUSE WE USED TO FIGHT A LOT WITH ROGER'S SHIP." He asks about the other apprentice: "DID THAT FUNNY RED NOSE WHO WAS WITH YOU DIE YET?" Shanks understands, "... YOU MEAN BUGGY?" and answers that the memories come back. On the day their captain was executed, Shanks asked, "COME WITH ME, BUGGY!!" but Buggy screamed, "I'LL NEVER BE PART OF YOUR CREW, IDIOT!!!" Shanks says, "WE PARTED WAYS, AND THAT'S THE END OF IT," though rumors say Buggy is still a pirate. Whitebeard says those 22 years passed quickly, and even the duel between Shanks and Hawkeye is still news to his ears. When Shanks returned from East Blue with one arm cut off, everyone was surprised. Page 9: Whitebeard finally asks the question behind all the old memories: "WHAT KIND OF ENEMY DID YOU GIVE IT TO...?" Shanks quietly remembers Luffy as a child shouting, "ONE DAY, I'LL GATHER UP NAKAMA AND FORM A CREW THAT'S BETTER THAN YOURS!!" and "AND I'LL BECOME THE PIRATE KING!!!" Shanks touches the missing sleeve and answers Whitebeard, "... I BET IT ON THE 'NEW AGE'..." Whitebeard says, "AS LONG AS YOU DON'T REGRET IT..." but Shanks' expression changes. The scar over his left eye throbs. He tells Whitebeard, "I'VE... GONE THROUGH MANY BATTLES AND SUFFERED VARIOUS WOUNDS, BUT WHAT ACHES NOW IS THIS ONE...!!" The conversation turns from the arm he lost for Luffy to the scar that warns him about another man.
