Pirate's silver-winged evil star

The encounter between Brook and Shanks was a simple accident. As the Yonko group with the most balanced overall strength and the smallest sphere of influence, Shanks' favorite thing is to run around with his pirate ship and experience adventures. Feel.

As Wang Luffy's spiritual mentor, Shanks' free will inherited from Roger should be regarded as the most authentic free spirit in the One Piece worldview. He will never be bound by rules or identity.

According to conventional definitions, pirates like Shanks and Roger should be defined as adventurers.

But now, because of the appearance of the Hunter Guild and Chen Sheng, Shanks has no chance to return to the East China Sea to teach Luffy his will, and he has no chance to trust the Straw Hat, let alone lose his arm.Therefore, Shanks' current strength far exceeds that of the original plot. With his arms intact, only Whitebeard can firmly rank among the four emperors.

"So Mr. Brook, the pirate hunter, are you interested in joining us?" Shanks said again carelessly, not caring about Brook's identity at all.

"Sure enough, as stated in the guild information, Mr. Shanks is not a traditional pirate, so he can resolve disputes through peaceful means when encountering. In this case, I also know how to show my attitude. I refuse !" Brooke said seriously.

"Hahaha! The boss was rejected again!"

"How heartless! Boss, he wants to eat you again!"

Upon hearing Brooke's rejection of Shanks' invitation, Shanks' crew suddenly laughed.

It can be seen that Shanks and his crew do not have any too strict levels. They are more like friends and brothers, just like within the Straw Hat Pirates.

Shanks didn't pay attention to his crew's joking, he just shrugged and said:

"It's a pity that I still lack a good musician here."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Shanks, but I heard that Mr. Shanks is very powerful, can you show me how powerful he is?"

As a burst of orange flames rose from Brooke's body, he slowly drew out his weapon, a cane-like thin sword.

As the fire of hell covered Brook's long sword, the shape of the rapier in his hand changed dramatically in a short period of time, from the original cane to a stabbing sword inlaid with skulls.

Not only that, but at the same time, a huge amount of hellfire spread along Brook's feet to the giant whale Rab. Under the transformation of the hellfire, the giant whale Rab became a body with white bones exposed and burning flames. monster.

"Wow! What is the power of this fruit? Why haven't I heard of it?" Shanks said in shock as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"Your whale is obviously soaked in seawater, and your ability can actually work on it. This is not scientific at all."

Seeing Shanks sighing, Brooke did not answer directly. This was a secret belonging to the Hunter Guild. He could not tell others about it before getting Chen Sheng's permission.

Although Hellfire looks like a Devil Fruit ability, it is essentially an extension of the power from Hell and is of course not affected by sea water.As long as he does it correctly, Brooke can even use hellfire to transform seastone creations.

"I am the resurrected skeleton of a person with the Underworld Fruit ability. He has been wandering in the mist for decades. After being rescued by President Chen, he joined the Hunters to repay his kindness. I can't say much other information. So, Sir Shanks, please Please teach me!"

Seeing Brooke challenging him, Shanks also drew his sword Griffin. You must know that Shanks would not draw his own sword against ordinary enemies.

As one of the most powerful swords, there are few weapons in this sea that can block Griffin's edge. When Shanks pulls out his weapon, it either represents respect for his opponent, or it means that he is really angry. .

In this case, it's obviously the former. Although Brooke's strength is not as good as his own, Shanks is still willing to fight with all his strength. This is the best respect.

"Go ahead, Rab!"

Under Brooke's command, Rab, who was burned in hell, had a telepathic connection with Brooke. With just a thought, Rab swung his huge body, broke through the waves and charged away.

Looking at this giant ocean beast coming back to him, Shanks shook his head slightly and said:

"Hey, hey! Is this going too far? What if it crashes my boat? Let's fight somewhere else!"

As he spoke, Shanks ran in the air using the moon step technique, leading Labu to change direction and swim towards the open sea.

Brook also knew what Shanks was thinking. He was only fighting for a fight, not a life and death battle, so choosing an open place to fight was the best result for both parties.

Following Shanks to an endless deep sea area, Shanks turned around to face Brook head-on, and waved the sword in his hand for the first time.

Accompanied by a slash that could open up the world, the red sword light seemed to penetrate the entire world. In Brooke's perception, there was no room to dodge at all.

"Yo ho ho ho, what a powerful force, it's really scary."

Although he said this, Brooke's body did not retreat even half an inch. The stabbing sword with a large amount of hellfire attached to his hand also waved his arm, and a slash made entirely of flames flew out.

The two slashes met in mid-air, like a bomb exploding. The violent impact spread out in all directions at the intersection. The shock wave caused by the explosion caused continuous fluctuations in the surrounding waves, but the two fighting men stood motionless.

At the intersection of the slashes, the flames displayed by Brooke were like an evil spirit, constantly eating away at Shanks' slashes, as if a devil's face was enjoying a delicious meal.

Within a few seconds, Shanks' attack was completely swallowed up by Brook's flames. In the end, he could only watch Brook's slashes continue to fly in his direction.

Because a lot of energy was consumed in the process, Brook's slashing speed was slowed to the limit, and it seemed that it might dissipate at any time.Shanks exclaimed as he turned slightly to avoid Brook's attack.

"What a strange power!"

Looking at Brook's weird flames, Shanks couldn't help but frown. Brook's strength was average. Although he was much stronger than ordinary hunters, he was still far behind the Yonko. With this weird power, he could actually Gain the upper hand in the collision with yourself.

"This is the flame I brought from the underworld. It is a special existence. Neither ice nor sea water can extinguish it."

"Not only that, the fire from hell can also exist at the same time as the cold from hell, for example."

As he spoke, Brooke drew his hand across the blade of the sword, then pointed in the direction of Shanks and said:

"Experience it! This coldness comes from the underworld!"

As the burning cold air filled the air, a strange ice channel burning with flames appeared above the sea, and this strange ice channel was still spreading towards Shanks' feet at an alarming speed.

"What a miraculous ability! Can the Underworld Fruit really achieve such power that goes against common sense? Why have I never heard of it before?"

Watching Brooke's moves, Shanks had more and more questions in his mind, but the movements in his hands were not slow at all. He raised the Griffin in his hands and slashed at the burning ice road.

This time Shanks's slash was more solid and powerful than the previous one, and he easily stopped the spread of the ice path.

"Sure enough, the gap is still too big."

Seeing Shanks easily neutralize his attack, Brook couldn't help but say.

Although he has never relaxed his training in the past five years, due to his talent, Brook's combat ability is still only at the level of an A-level hunter, and most of this is due to the power of hellfire.

If you ignore the fire of hell, Brooke's ability may be weaker than half.

Brooke is also very clear that his advantage does not lie in his powerful strength or other weird abilities. Music and martial arts are his best skills.

So, Brooke put away the rapier in his hand and took out his exquisite violin.

Putting the violin on his shoulders, the fiery red flames in Brooke's empty eyes were constantly jumping. It was obvious that Brooke had entered a state of excitement at this time.

"Sir Shanks, please appreciate my work next!"

As he spoke, a truly passionate melody came out of Brooke's strings, and as the music moved, a large amount of active hellfire burned from Brooke's body.

These blazing flames distort the surrounding air, not relying on high temperatures, but relying on the rules of hell.

In this area affected by the flames, the physical laws here will undergo certain changes according to Brooke's ideas. For example, the texture of steel can be made softer, and a piece of seaweed can be made indestructible.

Although for Brooke, the area he can influence now is very small, but if this ability can be developed to the limit, Brooke can even experience the feeling of a creator.

Seeing Brook's strange skills, Shanks was not in a hurry to launch an attack. He just stood there and let Brook perform it. After being baptized by various strange skills in front of him, he also wanted to see Brook's ability.

So as Shanks waited deliberately, the melody Brook played became more and more passionate, and the flame area he could control gradually expanded with the sound of the music, and finally even reached a radius of about 50m.

Compared with the initial radius, the flame field at this time has expanded by more than ten times.

Brook was immersed in the music. The Lab at his feet had a spiritual connection with him. He immediately seized the opportunity and rushed towards Shanks' position.

Under the transformation of the flame domain, an extremely thick horn grew on Abu's head. Not only was the fire of hell burning on it, but the surface was also full of ferocious barbs and patterns.

Because of the strengthening of the flame field, Rab's strength and speed have been greatly improved this time, and he can feel Shanks' presence almost in the blink of an eye.

Looking at this giant beast, Shanks chose to face it head-on, with the Griffin in his hand across his chest. With a bang, the two people with very different proportions collided with each other.

I saw that the sword in Shanks' hand was completely covered with black domineering energy, but even so, it still could not completely stop the hellfire that was constantly eroding towards it. These strange flames were trying to change Griffin's physical properties. Make it fragile and soft.

What exactly is this ability?

Feeling the will coming from the long knife in his hand, Shanks had more and more doubts in his heart. He originally thought it was just an ordinary sparring, but now it seems that things are not that simple.

"Sir Shanks? Do you think a skeleton like me looks good?"

Shanks was wrestling with Rab. Brooke, who was playing music, suddenly stopped playing and turned to Shanks and asked

"Ugh?"

Shanks was stunned by Brook's question, and subconsciously raised his head to observe Brook's expression. It was a skull without any flesh, but the flames in the eye sockets were a bit mysterious.

Fire in your eyes?

Shanks suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he realized it was too late.

"The eyes of judgment!"

Chen Sheng was a by-product of studying the power of heaven and hell. Since he obtained the original tokens of heaven and hell, Chen Sheng has been studying how to use them together at the same time for the past five years to create his own kingdom of chaos. force.

Only those Chaos Contractors who have mastered the power of Chaos can truly enter the palace. Because everyone receives different tokens and experiences, the nature of the Chaos Power created by different Chaos Contractors is also different.

In his constant research, the Eye of Judgment was one of Chen Sheng's research directions, using the power of the region to judge the wicked with the help of heaven's rules.

This naturally makes initial use of the power of hell and heaven, but the main body is still dominated by the power of hell. There is not enough balance between the two to synthesize the perfect power of chaos.

After confirming that this path was wrong, Chen Sheng summarized the training method of the Eye of Judgment and placed it in a secret library dedicated to recording the power of heaven and hell, and then went to study his own power of chaos.

During a practice, Brooke accidentally found the record of the Eye of Judgment and found that this skill was very suitable for his own abilities, so he learned this trick as his biggest trump card.

Under the illumination of the Eye of Judgment, Shanks felt that he suddenly recalled everything he had done from birth to now, just like a revolving door before death. All the things he had experienced from childhood to adulthood were clearly visible, and many Little things he had forgotten for many years were also remembered.

In the fire, Shanks found that he had not done anything good, and the pressure on his body would relax a little. Whenever he found a bad thing, or something not so moral, his body temperature would rise a little. point.

This weird power is ignoring the domineering defense and burning his soul. What kind of ability is this!

In Shanks's shocked and confused heart, the test of the Eye of Judgment ended, and the free pirate passed the test.

"I'm sorry to use such tactics, Mr. Shanks, but I have to confirm that you can be trusted before we can continue the conversation."

"I know if Mr. Shanks has time recently. On behalf of President Chen, I would like to invite Shanks to the Hunter Guild for a chat!"
