Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

"Auntie, I want to follow you, even if it's just for a while."

In Windmill Village, Ace suddenly said to Skyler. Skyler was a little confused, touched his head and said, "You are too young to go to that kind of place."

Ace pointed at Luo, who was following Leon and other cooks to pack the kitchen utensils, and said, "If he can do it, then I can do it."

"Haha~" Skyler rubbed Ace's hair and said, "Although he looks a little thinner, he is still several years older than you... Luo, how old are you?"

"Huh?" Luo raised his head, looked at Skyler, and then replied: "Fourteen, it will be fifteen soon."

"Really? He's so short."

Ace lowered his head and murmured, and Luo frowned. Although the distance was a bit far away, more than a year of training had sharpened his senses a lot, which allowed him to hear Ace's "disparagement."

"But I'm better than him."

Ace looked up again and said firmly.Luo's frown deepened, and Skyler smiled and asked Luo: "Luo, do you have anything to say?"

"This village is too small, and people see too little."

After Luo finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to pack the kitchen utensils. Ace was instantly dissatisfied, clenched his fists and walked towards Luo. Luo blinked his eyes surrounded by dark circles, and then raised his hand, an invisible stance spread.

"cut"

In an instant, Ace fell and hit the ground, but his legs stood still, and his upper and lower bodies were directly separated. Luffy, who was communicating with Shanks and Maginot at the side, stared straight out.

He really stared out, but relying on the ability of the rubber fruit, his eyes retracted just for a moment.

The corners of Shanks' eyes also twitched, but he quickly regained his composure. He could tell that this should be Luo's fruit ability, and nothing really happened to Ace.

After all, with Skyler standing there, no one could hurt Ace if she wanted to.

Maginot didn't see this scene because their backs were facing each other, but she noticed something strange about the two of them and looked back. But at this time, Skyler had already picked up Ace's upper body and spliced ​​it back together.

Luo also canceled his ability. Ace checked his stomach in a panic and found that there was no gap. When he raised his head again, he looked at Luo with a trace of panic.

Although I have learned more or less about Devil Fruit from books and newspapers over the years, after learning that Luffy had taken Devil Fruit yesterday, I also learned a little about it from the stories of members of the Zanya detachment.

But this was the first time he was affected by the Devil Fruit's ability, and for a while, it was still difficult to understand.

Maginot turned around and saw Ace lifting his clothes to check his belly. There was even a hand pushing down his pants. Maginot frowned and said, "Ace! Don't pee on the street!"

Ace was stunned for a moment, then turned red from his cheeks to his ears. He turned around and said, "Sister Maginot, I'm not! I didn't! I...that..."

Ace didn't know how to explain it, so he looked at Luo again angrily. His eyes no longer had the panic just now, but instead there was a surging fighting spirit after becoming angry from embarrassment.

This surprised Luo a little. His ability was very special. Even the members of the Zhanye detachment would be a little afraid and cautious when they met him for the first time. How come this kid is bolder than those soldiers?

Luo looked at Skyler, wanting to ask what Skyler meant, but Skyler just nodded and signaled to continue.

Luo pursed his lips, raised his hand, and the invisible attitude spread again. When he was about to engulf Ace again, Ace suddenly stepped back, turned around and started running.

"what?!"

Ace murmured, Luo's brows furrowed tightly, and even the surrounding Zhanye detachment members looked at Ace's back in surprise. Could this child be feeling something?This is just a ten-year-old child, right?

Even if Ace's birthday is early, he still has to wait a few days, and he won't be 11 until after the new year, right?

Even if Luo's grasp of his fruit ability is not yet precise, when he activates the stance named "room", it is not stable, and he can detect it by careful observation or by using the Haki of Insight.

But these should definitely not be noticed by a ten-year-old child.

Shanks also walked up to Skyler at this time and whispered: "How did you teach me to have beast-like intuition?"

"It was typed out."

Skyler said lightly. To be honest, she suddenly felt envious of Ace's talent. No one had really taught him some advanced fighting skills, but... he could learn it in his own way.

Although Ace's current perception is far from being a kind of Haki, it is more like the beast-like intuition that Shanks said, but... this is exactly what many people who are about to understand the Haki of Wisdom and Color should Some performance.

This reminded Skyler of the fact that in the original book, when Ace went to sea, he was only half-experienced in Overlord Haki, but in a battle with a certain naval admiral, he learned Armed Haki in a day without a teacher.

If he has that kind of talent, and coupled with the training from Garp, Skyler and others in recent years, it is really possible for Ace to grow to this level at this age.

"Shu~"

Ace, who was running away, suddenly picked up half a load of bricks and threw them towards Luo. It seemed that he felt that he could not defeat Luo at close range and planned to switch to long-range attacks.

But when the brick was less than half a meter away from Luo, he disappeared instantly, and a fork appeared in the air.

Luo caught the fork lightly and frowned, because Ace had almost reached the limit of the "room" he could currently use.

And if it was that kind of extreme room, with his current physical strength, he wouldn't be able to last long, not to mention that Ace kept harassing him with gangster-like fighting methods.

Luo's brows furrowed as he watched the stones and bricks flying continuously. These "hidden weapons" kept turning into forks and knives for him to use, but he no longer had the ease with which he had just dealt with them.

"Pfft~"

A piece of mud that had been hardened by the sun suddenly hit Luo's head and turned into a lot of flying soil. Luo quickly raised his hand to disperse the dust in front of him, and Room's stance was also interrupted.

But just when Luo finally cleared away the dust in front of him and wanted to restart the room, he found that Ace had disappeared without a trace.

"duang~"

Suddenly, a pan flew from behind Luo and hit him on the back of the head.

"Pfft~"

Luo fell to the ground with a buzzing head. Forks, knives, and barbecue tongs were scattered all over the floor. Ace, with a proud smile on his face, walked out of the alley behind Luo and said:

"Auntie! I won! Hahaha~"

Luo, who fell to the ground, quickly regained consciousness, but he did not stand up because he had indeed lost, to a child who was younger than himself and did not have a devil fruit.

Although he could still get up and continue "fighting", even knocking down Ace mercilessly, it was meaningless.

Skyler looked at Luo who admitted his defeat, nodded, and said: "Okay, it just so happens that Leon is short of assistants right now, so you can go over. Traveling after going to sea is good for a change of mood."

"Hehe~"

"Hehe~"

Both Ace and Leon laughed, but Ace's laughter stopped quickly. Looking at Leon who kept laughing, there was a trace of reluctance on his face, and he asked: "Uncle...Uncle, should you?" Yes...it's what my aunt said..."

"Major Leon of the Navy Headquarters, captain of the cooking team of the Zhanye detachment, please give me more advice in the future, hahaha~"

Leon smiled very happily. The grandson of Lieutenant General Garp and the nephew of the commander will be his assistant in the future. Although he is not as helpful as Drake, he is... happy.

Ace struggled for a long time, and finally bowed to Leon and shouted loudly: "Please give me more advice in the future!"

He doesn't want to stay in this village, not because he doesn't like it here, but... he wants to become stronger, at least to be able to protect his brother.

Ace looked at Luffy and smiled.

Skyler looked towards the distance in the street, where Dadan was wiping away tears.

Ace also seemed to realize something and said, "Auntie, I want to go find Dadan to say goodbye."

"No need to go."

Skyler waved his hand, looked at Shanks, and said, "Is your farewell over?"

Shanks looked back at Maginot and Luffy, then looked at Skyler, nodded, and said, "Okay."

"Close the team!"

"Yes, sir!"

Leon and others speeded up, packed up the kitchen utensils, and quickly brought them back to the warship. Skyler also jumped onto the warship with Ace. Ace was lying on the fence, dressing up in the windmill village.

He was on Mount Colpo and could also overlook the Windmill Village, but at this moment... it felt different.

Shanks rubbed Luffy's head, then walked towards the warship, raised his hand to steady his straw hat, and also jumped high towards the warship.

The warship slowly turned around. This was not like Marine Fando or the G-5 branch. If the U-turn was too fast, the waves would cause damage to the windmill village, so the helmsman was very patient.

Maginot looked at Luffy who was looking at the warship with tears in his eyes, squatted down and said, "Are you envious? You also want to go, right?"

Luffy nodded, and Maginot was about to comfort him, when Dadan came over and said fiercely: "Get over here! Don't stay in Windmill Village and bother me!"

"Ms. Dadan..."

Maginot stood up and looked at Dadan in confusion, but Dadan had already turned around, his shoulders twitching slightly, and said: "It would be best if all the white-eyed wolves are gone!

Otherwise, if you leave one by one, I will have to worry about it one more time! "

"Dadan..."

Luffy turned around, tears already pouring from his eyes. He was afraid of Dadan's current voice, which was dry and calm. Dadan also spoke like this when Sabo had an accident half a year ago.

"Go away!"

"Dadan! I will come back to see you!"

After Luffy finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the dock, but when he arrived at the dock, the warship had already started sailing.

"Ahh!!! Ace! Auntie! Wait for me!"

Shouting, Luffy jumped up high, but he was still some distance away from the warship. Luffy, who had already felt himself starting to fall, waved his hands hurriedly.

"du~~~"

His right hand suddenly stretched out, making a strange pulling sound, but no matter what, he grabbed the guardrail of the warship.

"Ahhhh~~~"

The rubber arm rebounded, and Luffy flew into the air, about to cross the warship and head into the distance.

"It's really... what a child's play!"

Skyler rubbed his temples. Seeing that Nurkic was about to take action, Skyler waved and said, "Let him fly for a while."

"This...is, sir."

Nurkic, who was flipping through the information, shook his head helplessly and watched as Luffy began to slide along a parabolic trajectory. The screams continued, and his eyes and throat bulged out.

"Aren't the thorns irritating?"

Suddenly, Skylar's voice entered Luffy's ears. He was so frightened that after hearing his aunt's voice, he suddenly calmed down and turned to look, his mouth widening.

All I could see was the dove of peace that resembled the warship's bow. Countless threads shot out from its outstretched wings, forming a large net that caught Luffy.

However, the huge inertia caused Luffy's flesh to protrude along the mesh of the large net, and then rebounded violently, throwing him back onto the warship.

Ace also opened his mouth slightly, looking at Luffy lying on the ground with a blank smile on his face, feeling a little surprised.

"Can it still be done this way?!"

Ace looked at Luo with an apologetic look. His hair had been shaved off and then wrapped in a bandage. If he had known that it would be okay, why would he hit Luo?

Luo seemed to be aware of Ace's gaze. He turned around and found that Ace's eyes were actually apologetic. He was a little confused for a moment. Is this seemingly lawless child apologizing to him?

But Ace quickly looked away, walked over to help Luffy up, and asked: "Aunt, is Luffy following Uncle Leon like me?"

"Him?" Skyler thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, just follow Hamilton and read more."

"Reading? I don't want it!!!"

When Luffy regained consciousness, the first thing he heard was that he was told to read. His head shook like a rattle.

"Then go back."

Skyler's tone was very calm. Luffy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that his aunt was not as easy to talk to as Dadan, Sister Maginot, and the village elder. He shrunk his neck and said, "Study as long as you study."

Skyler ignored him, looked at Nurkic and asked, "Have you found the right place?"

"I found it. There is a piece of sea area that is interesting. It does not belong to any kingdom and has no records. Maybe it is an uninhabited island, suitable for fighting."

Nurkic closed the document in his hand and nodded. Shanks asked doubtfully: "Are you still looking for an island?"

"I don't have to sabotage my own ship."

"Yeah too~ah hahaha~"

Shanks scratched his head in embarrassment. The battle between the two was bound to be huge. An island might not be safe, let alone a warship.

Nurkic began to adjust the course of the warship, and the warship moved forward slowly. At the speed of the warships of the Zhanye detachment, they sailed until the afternoon before arriving at the uninhabited island that Nurkic checked.

Looking at the islands in the distance and the surrounding sea, Shanks said: "Lieutenant Admiral Skyler, here... I can't escape, can I?"

The surrounding sea currents are constantly converging towards the island. They are extremely turbulent and have an extremely wide range. With Skyler around, even if Shanks wants to run, it is estimated that he will not be able to escape the surrounding sea if he is alone.

"This is a good place that my adjutant found after searching for so long. He even did not hesitate to stay away from your crew members. Do you understand?"

Skyler smiled and Shanks nodded. He understood that Skyler's choice was very magnanimous. With the speed of the Zhanye detachment's warships, if they fought near the Kingdom of Goa, they would still be able to catch up with Hong after the fight. Send the pirate group.

But Skyler kept his promise and let the red-haired pirates leave first. With this section of the route, Skyler would probably have to find a needle in a haystack if he wanted to capture the red-haired pirates again.

But at the same time, Shanks is in danger, either...defeat Skyler, or be beaten to death by Skyler, unless...in this desperate situation, find the third possibility .

The childish expression on Shanks's face continued to fade away, and he became extremely serious. He knew that no one on the sea could fight Skyler with contempt or childishness.

"The way you look now finally makes me believe it."

Skyler stood up, walked to the fence and said suddenly. Shanks frowned slightly and asked, "What do you believe?"

"There is a new emperor in the sea, red-haired Shanks."

Hearing this, Shanks smiled again, but it was different from the careless smile he had in Windmill Village. This smile was extremely heroic and he said, "I will live to that day!"

"You are very confident. Why don't we compare who reaches the island first and who has the upper hand?"

"it is good!"

The two looked at each other, and then, the huge warship shook for no reason, and the two of them disappeared. Even though many people knew that the two of them were heading towards the distant island, they... just couldn't catch it!

"I won."

Shanks' voice suddenly sounded, and Skyler, who was moving at high speed, was stunned. She had absolute confidence in her own speed. Can Shanks beat her?

The moment he looked over, there was a trace of speechlessness on Skyler's face. He saw that Shanks had completely abandoned his human posture and fell on the beach with a posture like a dog gnawing on the ground.

"Zi~"

Skyler fell behind for a moment, but stood gracefully on the sand. Looking at Shanks who stood up and shook the sand from his face, he said, "There's no need to fight so hard, right?"

"This is a battle where my life and future are on the line! What's more... I really need to take the initiative this time."

After Shanks finished speaking, he did not choose to attack. After all, he had the upper hand. Skyler would never take the lead. He began to look at the island with interest.

The island is uninhabited, and there are not even animals. Miscellaneous plants grow randomly. The island is not integrated, and is split in the middle, like a canyon.

"here?!"

Shanks frowned and Skyler asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I seemed to have seen it in a friend's treasure map before, but I didn't expect it to be in the East China Sea."

Shanks waved his hand, and Skyler also looked at the island, but she was not impressed.

'Maybe it didn't appear in the plot at all? '

Skyler no longer doubted that her so-called God's perspective could only support her to understand the events in the plot first, not to mention that more than ten years later, he had almost forgotten it.

Only some important people or things are left that can be remembered.

The friend with the treasure map mentioned by Shanks should be Bucky, right?The treasure he's after?Then it's of little value.

Shanks also withdrew his eyes. Bucky valued the treasure map more than his life. He could only take a sneak peek at it, which was the limit.

It is impossible to know the treasure information hidden in the treasure map.

What's more, the woman in front of me cannot be bought with wealth.

"Skyler...you just said..." Shanks put his left hand on the Western sword, showed a hearty smile, and asked: "Am I another king of the sea?"

Skyler's eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses, smiled, and said, "Yes."

"Boom~"

In an instant, extreme courage burst out from Shanks, and the Griffin sword was drawn out by him. The expression on Shanks's face also became like a mighty emperor of the sea, firm and confident.

On the island, dark clouds gathered, as if the sky was losing color in front of him.

"The praise coming from your mouth is more valuable than my own recognition."

After Shanks finished speaking, black and red lightning twined above the Saber Griffin. Skyler's smile did not change. She knew that Shanks' question just now was to cultivate this kind of courage.

But... she is willing to let Shanks have stronger courage, so that... the fight will be enjoyable!

Skyler's recognition is not something that ordinary people can afford. After all, Skyler is a swordsman who killed a sea emperor. She is qualified enough to say this.

Overlord color Haki is the product of a person with the qualifications of a king who condenses his courage, spirit and even body. Today, Shanks can easily control the use of Overlord color Haki.

What he lacks is actually the recognition that a king... deserves. After all, in the past ten years, he has not gotten the recognition he deserves from the world, and Skyler's words are enough.

It's just that, although Shanks' domineering power has been conceived, he doesn't know if this battle will be too late to break out of the cocoon.

"Ye~"

Facing Shanks's domineering aura that was not inferior to any of the sea emperors, Skyler slowly drew out the black sword - Obsidian and the black sword - Gu Yusaku.

In an instant, the world's number one fierce sword force suddenly appeared, and the pink sword force was so thick that you could see it in the air. It collided with Shanks' overlord-colored domineering force, and for a moment, black thunder and lightning flashed in the air.

"Boom~"

The dark clouds in the sky seemed unable to withstand the impact of the momentum that shot straight into the sky. Thunder and lightning struck down, seemingly releasing their accumulated pressure.

The warships of the Zhanye detachment did not move forward. After Skyler and Shanks left, Nurkic ordered the anchor to stop. Luo, Ace and others were still a little confused.

After all, they have never seen a battle between strong men in the true sense.

At this moment, they understood that Luo, who was playing with the bear, subconsciously tightened his grip on Beibo's ears, but Beibo, who was also looking at the island, did not react. The shock to his senses was much more intense than his own pain. .

Nurkic looked at several children and said: "If you want to swim in the sea, you must have such strength."

A few children just nodded blankly. After Nurkic finished speaking, he also looked towards the distant island. This level of fighting may only be a shock to Luo and others.

But for Nurkic and Jinping, even just watching the game will benefit a lot.

"click~ka~"

In an instant, Nurkic and Jinbe narrowed their eyes because... the trees on the island, especially those around them, actually cracked and then exploded.

"The courage to cause substantial harm? It's really... unimaginable!"

Jinbe said with emotion. He could see that the overlord-like domineering Shanks unleashed at this time did not use techniques similar to entangling, and Skyler's sword power did not contain any cutting power.

The two of them caused the surrounding vegetation to die with just their courage. I am afraid that even the real emperors cannot achieve this level of courage, right?

"Da~"

On the island, Shanks took a step towards Skyler. He had the advantage of making the first move, but at this moment, it didn't seem to matter whether he made the first move or not.

For the first time in his life, Shanks had the desire to fight.

The atmosphere has been brewing up to this point, and it seems that it is no longer justified to not fight to the death.

"Da~da~"

Shanks' pace gradually quickened, and the Griffin in his left hand was also raised, slashing towards Skyler with flashing black and red thunder and lightning.

Skyler raised his black knife to block, but the blades of the two sides did not touch each other. They stopped suddenly when they were two punches apart.

"Boom~"

"What's wrong? Why can't I see clearly?"

Ace looked at the island in the distance. At this time, his vision was like summer's eyes passing through the stove. Everything in his vision was distorted.

"Boom~"

A wave of air mixed with domineering energy and slashes exploded, slashing towards the surroundings and towards the sky.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

Thunder and lightning continued to fall between the dark clouds in the sky, but the thunder that shocked people in the past was now like the wail of a condemned prisoner before his execution, complex and powerless.

"Boom~"

The air wave cut into the dark clouds in the sky, and the dark clouds covering the sky and the earth were split from the middle like a real object being cut open by a sharp blade.

A ray of sunshine shines down from the gap in the dark clouds.

"..."

On the warship, several children looked at this scene and couldn't say a word. The sky was cut open?

As the slashing continued, more and more gaps appeared above the dark clouds, and more and more sunlight shone from the gaps onto the island and onto the two people who were dueling with the slashing attack.

At this time, the distance between the two blades had quietly approached, and finally, the three blades were added together.

"Zheng~~"

A sharp sound resounded between heaven and earth, as if the strings of the world were being shaken. The violent vibration force completely dispersed the dark clouds that shattered the body.

On the island, a hurricane also broke out, carrying sand, gravel, vegetation, and flattening half of the island at different heights.

The mountain was landslide, and the two of them looked at each other, and then the blades separated instantly and fell to a high place. Just as they were about to continue fighting, they slid down the mountain and exposed the scenery in the canyon.

The two of them were stunned. In the middle of the canyon, there was a large dragon-headed ship stranded. Judging from the size of the ship, it was probably a bit larger than the warships of the Zhanye detachment.

There were many swords stuck on the big ship, which had long been in decay, but the eyes of Skyler and Shanks were attracted by those giant swords that were more than ten meters long.

"Giant clan!"

This information flashed through their minds at the same time. The giant race can be said to be the most special race in the world.

Innate divine power, if we only talk about the combat advantage of the group, the giants can be ranked among the top three in the entire world.

But over the years, giants have become increasingly rare, and can be said to be an endangered species.

Moreover... the giant race has always been the subject of research by many forces. Experiments on giant transformation have been carried out among countless forces. Even the world government and navy have secretly conducted similar experiments.

Of course, the World Government was studying all races at that time. Even the mysterious race that once lived on the Red Earth Continent, the Lunarian Tribe, was also the subject of the World Government's experiments.

No matter what, it is extremely strange for such a huge ship to appear in this land of the East China Sea.

Skyler and Shanks rushed towards the giant ship in unison. The two of them stood on the hilt of a giant sword, and they both frowned when they saw the situation.

There...are no traces of giants living here.

Maybe he abandoned the ship and fled, or maybe the years have erased all traces.

Shanks waved his hand to dispel the soreness in his muscles after just fighting the sword, and said: "There is nothing valuable. It seems that we have to continue fighting."

"Even if it's something valuable, and that's what I found, you still have to fight."

Skyler smiled and said, "Your initiative has been used up."

"Yes."

Shanks also smiled and said that he still had to fight, but he was just sighing, and he didn't want to end the fight too early now.

"Your swordsmanship has a lot of Rayleigh's shadow. I was wondering...whether Roger taught you."

Skyler's sword power regrouped, Shanks grinned widely and said, "Try?"

Hearing this, Skyler didn't say a word. She exerted force on her feet, and the giant sword instantly shattered. She was also on top of Shanks in an instant, and the two black knives wrapped around the fierce sword force and slashed straight down.

It was not a specific sword move, but the characteristics of all sword moves were mixed into it, and a long-lasting slash suddenly burst out, slashing towards Shanks.

"God avoid!"

Shanks laughed heartily, and above Griffin, black and red lightning twined around him. It seemed like a simple upward move, but it was an extreme use of physical strength and courage.

"Boom~"

The slash of the pink sharp sword and the slash of the overlord-colored domineering energy clashed again.

In an instant, the mountain at the other end of the canyon was also cut open, shattered, and slid towards the low-lying area.

"Squeak~squeak~squeak~"

The giant sword under Shanks' feet sank suddenly, and at the same time the sword made an unpleasant trembling sound. The rotten sword was also constantly trembling, and it seemed that it would break at any time.

But it seems that Shanks is protecting him. Although he has no feelings for the giant sword, if the giant sword breaks under his feet, his body will inevitably lose balance.

The embarrassment is second, but the important thing is that Skyler will never let go of this opportunity.

The blades of the two were constantly beating. The blood vessels and ligaments on the inner side of Shanks' left arm were beating continuously, and the muscles were bulging to the extreme. The blood flowed too fast, making his skin red.

"Zheng~"

The two people's blades came into contact, and the string between heaven and earth seemed to be shaken again. Skyler's sharp sword force also penetrated into Shanks' body instantly.

"呲~呲~"

A stream of blood arrows sprayed out from Shanks' left arm and shoulder, dyeing half of his shirt red. Shanks, who was still maintaining a hearty smile, at this moment, gritted his teeth and resisted With Skyler's slash.

"Ah!"

A smile appeared in front of Shanks. It was very ugly because his gums were already bleeding due to the pressure from clenching his teeth just now, but he still said:

"Lieutenant General Skyler, this...cannot kill the Emperor!"

"Zheng~"

The giant sword shattered under his feet, but before it shattered, Shanks' burst of power had also knocked Skyler away.

"呲呲~"

The remaining mountains and giant ships sprouted many translucent threads out of nowhere, forming a spider web. Skyler stood on the spider web, quickly stabilized his body, and looked at Shanks who landed on the ground.

"Cough cough~"

Shanks coughed, stood up from the ground, and then punched the inside of his left forearm with his right hand.

"Sigh~"

Shanks gasped, the severe pain making the corners of his eyes twitch, but at the same time, his left hand, which had been paralyzed, finally regained consciousness.

"tick~tick~"

The blood dropped on the ground, quickly mixed with the shallow sea water, and spread into a piece of pink blood. Shanks looked at Skyler in the distance, smiled, raised his knife, and slashed.

"The spirit has become stronger again, but this slash..."

A slash flew towards Skyler, and Skyler frowned, because she knew that the slash was not enough to hurt her, and she also knew that Shanks must know.

"Are you already weak?"

Skyler taunted, raised his sword and slashed, knocking off Shanks's slash. Shanks slashed again, and said: "Lieutenant General Skyler, it is not suitable for the two of us to say this."

"?"

Skyler was stunned for a moment, tightened his grip on the sword, raised his hand to cut off Shanks's slash, combined Moon Step and Shave, and quickly approached Shanks.

Shanks looked at the murderous Skyler, his face twitching slightly, he felt like he was in debt.

It's just... we can't fight Skyler again just yet.

Thinking of this, Shanks waved his left hand continuously, and dozens of slashes formed in an instant, while he retreated step by step.

"Prison of Silence!"

Skyler did not give the slightest chance. In an instant, the mountain and the giant ship were penetrated by countless threads.

Relying on his outstanding domineering power, Shanks barely managed to escape the Demonic Silk, but... his retreat was also blocked. He watched the hard bridge and the hard horse slash down one after another, and kept attacking his final Si. Keller, Shanks feels a bit tricky.

Of course, if you are a bit embarrassed, you can still hide.

But... Shanks kept an eye on Skyler, and he knew that if he hid, he wouldn't be able to survive Skyler's hands.

"It's still a little bit close... This era of violence needs me to stop it. I can't lose."

Shanks suddenly spoke, but Skyler's movements were not blocked. At this time, Skyler had already cut off all the slashes and was heading towards Shanks.

Those two black knives, at this time, the solid pink sword force was wrapped around the sharp edges.

That blade has no mercy at all.

"Griffin!"

Shanks shouted, and in an instant, black and red lightning suddenly appeared. When he swung his sword, the lightning and slashes gradually solidified like the gryphon in myth and legend, biting towards Skyler.

"Clang~"

It was obviously just a slash, but between the collisions, it was like the collision of bells and drums, with a continuous sound.

Skyler's slash and Shanks' condensed griffon slash were still in a stalemate, but Skyler had already escaped, heading towards Shanks again, and the sword fell again.

"Clang~"

The moment the blade came into contact, Shanks' left hand was quickly covered in armed domineering energy. Even the Griffin in his hand was dyed black, even the handle.

"Boom~"

Shanks' body couldn't stop rowing backwards, breaking the ghostly binding threads and smashing them onto the remaining mountain wall, but his footsteps did not move even half an inch.

"Among the pirates I have seen, you are the most courageous."

At this time, Skyler also expressed his admiration from the bottom of his heart. Whitebeard's courage was vast, but he only had a corner of stability.Charlotte Lingling has a violent spirit, but she is like a leaderless dragon.

Kaido?His courage probably only appeared when he was separated from the phone bug, right?

"Skyler, I have a question that I've been wondering about for a long time."

Shanks did not answer Skyler directly, but asked aloud. Skyler frowned, looked at Shanks who was suppressed by his own power, nodded and said, "What do you want to ask?"

"Why...slander the captain! It's been 12 years, and I still can't understand it. I can feel that you have no hatred for him. Why...slander him in his last moments?"

In an instant, Griffin became firm again in Shanks' hands, while Skyler raised his eyebrows and said, "Twelve years? The last moment?"

The scenes in Rogue Town replayed in Skyler's mind, and finally...she remembered the words she had angered many people.

"Aren't you curious? Is that a beard? Or is it nose hair?"

Shanks was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "It seems...I am too narrow-minded. Maybe the captain will laugh when he hears your words, and then tell you the answer? I finally understand... .What’s the difference between me and the captain!

I always imitate the captain and his spontaneity, but I never achieve it.Hahaha~hahaha~"

Shanks was laughing loudly, while Skyler's brows were frowning more and more, because... Shanks' spirit was changing.

"Boom~rumbling~"

Black and red lightning exploded, and the entire space was filled with lightning. Even the mountain with Shanks embedded in it was penetrated by lightning and cracked continuously.

"Boom~"

The mountain collapsed completely, and Skyler was also thrown away. Skyler quickly adjusted his body, stood up again, and looked at Shanks.

Among the ruins, the left half of Shanks' body was stained with blood, but there was a smile on his face. This smile... looked like that idiot Luffy.

"Yesterday you proposed five years. In addition to the growth of your crew members, it was also to find an answer for yourself, right?"

Skyler asked, Shanks nodded and said: "Yes, but... maybe only you, the person involved, can give me a correct answer. I figured it out. Next... is our battle. ”

"do not fight."

Skyler suddenly sheathed the knife. Shanks' smile froze and asked, "Why?"

"I have always been the only one who treats others as a whetstone, but you treated me as a whetstone at that time. This feeling made me very unhappy. Come to me again when you have finished sharpening your edge."

"Hahaha~hahaha~ Is that so? See you in five years!"

Shanks' body that was standing firmly suddenly began to shake?

?? He swayed and fell to the ground, but unlike the pain he imagined, something less hard seemed to be blocking him.

He reached down to grab it with both hands, and a strange fruit was held in his hands.

"Skyler!"

Shanks called out to Skyler, who turned around, looked at the fruit in Shanks' hand, and narrowed his eyes.

"Is this... a burning fruit?"

"Well, it should be part of the treasure, given to you!"

After Shanks finished speaking, he threw the fruit towards Skyler. Skyler gently raised his hand to catch it and said, "I said, even if it is something valuable, it is considered to be something I found."

"Okay, okay! Whatever you find, return it to its original owner."

Shanks lay half-ly on the ground. The smell here was terrible, including the smell of rotten wood, salty sea breeze, and his own blood, but he didn't care.

Skyler gently weighed the Shao Shao Fruit in his hand and said, "The New World can't wait for you for five years, and it will go berserk soon."

"Too."

After the two of them finished speaking, a figure suddenly approached in the distance, and Nurkic appeared with a phone bug. Looking at the battle here, he understood that the battle between the two was over, and then said to Skyler:

"Sir, this is an urgent report from our headquarters. The Don Quixote family has settled in the New World. The terrifying three-masted pirate group has returned from the New World and returned to the first half of the Great Channel!"

Skyler frowned, looked at Shanks who was about to fall asleep with his eyes squinted, and said: "Shanks, this is your fault, you go and solve it."

"Go as soon as you wake up."

Shanks waved his hand, and then put the straw hat directly on his head.

"呲~"

Suddenly, the ghostly thread flew out of Skyler's hand, pierced the straw hat, and then took the straw hat over.

Skyler looked at Shanks who suddenly stood up with an angry look on his face, and said, "When will you solve it, you will get it from me."

"Skyler, you..."

Like a quarreling middle-aged peasant woman, Shanks stamped her feet in anger and said, "We are all chosen by the times, why are you making things difficult for me?"

"I don't understand, let's go."

Skyler left directly. Shanks looked at Skyler's back and shouted: "You leave, what should I do?! I can't swim out alone!!!"

"Didn't you say that you are the one chosen by the times? You will find a way."

Skyler had a relaxed smile. In fact, she also knew that Shanks said he couldn't swim out of this sea area, which was impossible. If she was chasing, Shanks really couldn't leave.

However, without Skyler, Shanks could cross even a windless zone, let alone a small whirlpool in the East China Sea, with just a little effort.

Not to mention...

Skyler looked up at the sky. Nurkic was a little puzzled. He also looked up and saw nothing. Skyler didn't say anything, and he didn't ask.

Shanks also noticed Skyler's movements, and once again slumped on the ground without any image, looking up at the sky.

"Haha~haha~"

Nurkic looked back at the pirate who had a weirder brain circuit than his commander. Although he was confused about Skyler not arresting him, he didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, he already had the answer in his mind.

After walking out of the canyon, Nurkic asked: "Is it because Kaido expanded too much?"

Ever since the changes occurred in the Totland Sea, the new world has become chaotic. Countless pirates are fighting against each other. The navy is trying to maintain balance. With Garp's checks and balances, Kaido does not dare to make mistakes.

But...the Beasts Pirates are not just freeloaders. After Whitebeard made it clear that he did not want to get involved in this matter, the Beasts Pirates, the only ones capable of completely swallowing up the Totland Sea, are constantly taking action. .

Although it is very slow, it is really eating away at that piece of cake. The navy cannot cross the Whitebeard Sea and make a big move in the Totland Sea. It can only have the top generals lead the elite detachment to slightly block the pace of the Beast Pirates. .

Before the mountain of Whitebeard is removed, only pirates can check and balance the pirate sea.

Nurkic could think of it, but he did not believe that the staff of the Navy Headquarters, and the staff led by Crane, would not think of it.

The sea area of ​​more than 200 nautical miles from Fish-Man Island to the New World is a pressure relief port. The Navy consciously put some in to reconcile the New World, but there is a lack of pirates who can replace the Big Mom Pirates and stabilize the New World. group.

And the red-haired pirates, led by the abnormal young man behind them, may really have a chance.

When he thought of this, Nurkic remembered Skyler's previous evaluation of Shanks.

"The King of the Sea!"

Sure enough, no matter how small things are, the Monqi family's perspective on the world is never weaker than anyone else's.

Skyler, who just felt that the fight was not exciting enough and planned to save the opportunity to fight again later, turned to look at Nurkic, who was showing admiration. He was stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned his head away.

"Ahem~ Yes! That's it! Ahem~"

For some reason, Nurkic felt that his commander was guilty, but he quickly denied it.

I am too arrogant, so when I look at the changes in the world structure, I will always be one step behind my superiors, or even more than one step!

The Zhanye detachment needs a confident adjutant, not an arrogant adjutant!

Nurkic kept warning himself in his heart and kept thinking about his shortcomings in the past few years. The more he thought about it, the more disappointed he became with himself.

"Sir, the annual vacation is coming, and I hope to go back to Malinvando."

Nurkic suddenly made a request. Skyler nodded and agreed, but still asked: "What's the matter?"

"Well, I haven't had a heart-to-heart talk with my father for a long time, and I want to have a chat with him."

"Okay, during the annual vacation, say hello to Lieutenant General Lowes for me."

Skyler waved his hand and quickened the pace, and Nurkic said no more. After all, the new world changed instantly, and he had to deal with it all before the annual vacation.

The two quickly returned to the warship. Luffy saw the straw hat in Skyler's hand and ran over nervously, asking: "Auntie, how is Shanks?"

"He's not dead. This is a trophy, waiting for him to challenge again."

Skyler stretched out his hand and pulled Luffy's cheek as far as he could, then let go, letting his cheek bounce back.

Ace was much more steady than Luffy, but with a smile on his face, he said, "I knew my aunt would definitely win!"

When Skyler heard this, he smiled and said, "Tell me, why?"

"Because my aunt is a navy!"

Ace puffed up his chest and said proudly.

"Hahaha~ Then I'll reward you with this!"

Skyler threw the burning fruit directly to Ace. Ace took it and immediately understood what it meant. He looked back at Bald Bandage Luo and smiled.

For some reason, Luo's heart beat suddenly accelerated. His experience in studying medicine for more than a year told him that this was called...arrhythmia.
