Whitebeard seemed to have no reason to refuse Shanks.
Now, it seemed that Shanks took the initiative in helping Whitebeard Pirates to save Ace.
If Whitebeard Pirates accepted Shanks’ proposal, they would not need to pay the price of war. They just needed to stay in their own sea and wait for Shanks to save Ace.
No matter how you look at it…
This matter seemed to be beneficial to Whitebeard Pirates.
If Shanks could really save Ace safely, Whitebeard Pirates would probably owe Shanks a huge favor.
This kind of favor…
It was very difficult to repay in the sea!
Ace would also owe Shanks a life!
However, there was another problem. In order to prevent the situation from worsening, Whitebeard Pirates had been waiting for Shanks’ news. This would make them too useless… And once Shanks lost, they would be wasting their time!
Whitebeard also didn’t think Shanks could save Ace.
This was a war that was about to start, and it was also the first battle between the World Government and the marine to destroy the pirates. No one could stop the war from happening!
Even Shanks was no exception!
“Ace is my son…”
Whitebeard narrowed his eyes and coldly rejected Shanks’ good intentions, “I will save him myself. No one needs to interfere!”
“It’s not good to reject me in such a straightforward manner!”
The smile on Shanks’ face slowly faded. His eyes gradually turned cold as he held his sword gently, “I don’t have any other thoughts. I just want to stop a war that might kill many people…”
“Red-haired brat, who do you think you are…”
Whitebeard suddenly reached out his hand and pulled out the infusion tube from his arm. He suddenly picked up the Naginata beside him and slashed at Shank’s head!
Along with Whitebeard’s action, a surge of Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki) swept out. Whitebeard waved his naginata to cut Shanks into two!
Clang!
Shanks suddenly pulled out his sword and blocked the naginata using its hilt. At the critical moment, he blocked Whitebeard’s attack!
The layer of cloud in the sky gradually rolled up under the two Yonko(Four Emperors)’s Haki…
Whitebeard and Shanks’ Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki) seemed like substance, flashing lightning in the air, and the strong pressure constantly spread around…
It made people not dare to look straight at it!
Under the collision of the two Yonko(Four Emperors), the members of Whitebeard Pirates involuntarily took a few steps back and looked up at the cloud that was splitting up and rolling upward…
“The sky is split again…”
This matter…
It often happened in the Whitebeard sea region.
In the past, the entire Whitebeard Pirates had Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Sasuke, and Portgas D. Ace, three people who had Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki).
When Sasuke was helping to train Ace, Whitebeard would occasionally show his strength to the two little guys…
Every time Whitebeard and Sasuke Haki clashed, the sky would slowly split…
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates have really seen it a lot.
“Ace is my son!”
Whitebeard clenched the naginata in his hand and fiercely pressed it down, forcing Shanks’ expression to change. This powerful force had no intention of showing mercy at all!
Whitebeard looked at Shanks’ expression and slowly retracted his strength. He waved the naginata in his hand and forced Shanks back. He then coldly said, “I am Whitebeard. I can’t put the hope of saving my son on others!”
After that, Whitebeard casually turned around and walked back to his seat with the blade in his hand, “Go. You don’t need to worry about the matters on this ship! Sasuke, Marco, help me send off the guests!”
“But…”
Shanks opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
However, Sasuke stood in front of him. His scarlet Sharingan and strange Rinnegan coldly stared at Shanks, “Go. Don’t force the old man to get angry. Otherwise, I won’t be able to stop him…”
“…”
Shanks was silent for a while. He shook his head and sighed, “Alright, but I brought good wine from my hometown, the West Blue…”
“Huh?”
Whitebeard stopped in his tracks.
Just as Whitebeard turned back to look at Shanks, Sasuke coldly interrupted Shanks, “Old man has quit drinking in recent years…”
After saying that, Sasuke’s fingertips flashed with lightning and directly smashed the wine jar brought up by Shanks with his Chidori Eiso(Chidori Sharp Spear).
The fragrance of the wine drifted on the deck…
Shanks looked at this scene speechlessly and shook his head helplessly. However, when he turned around and left, he suddenly said, “However, I will not give up… Let’s see who is faster!”
“Then I advise you not to waste your time.”
Sasuke closed his eyes and slowly lowered his head. His voice gradually became smaller and smaller, “The World Government is different from the past… If you still want to interfere, then be prepared to be sucked into the vortex!”
When Sasuke said this, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Shanks’ back. His eyes seemed to show a substantial sharpness.
At this moment, Sasuke’s voice suddenly became incomparably cold, “Forget it, no one will be able to escape this great whirlpool anyway… I only want to remind you not to be caught by Kabuto!
Otherwise, perhaps before the war even began, all the members of the Red Hair Pirates will appear on the public execution list together. At that time, no one will save you!”
“Hehe…”
Shanks stopped his footsteps and turned around with a smile, “Then I will return what you said just now to you…”
Shanks’ eyes suddenly turned cold. His attitude was extremely tough, “The Red Hair Pirates don’t need you to dictate what they need to do!”
After saying that, Shanks left Moby Dick.
Shanks came to the Whitebeard Pirates and did not achieve his purpose. But he would not let it go because Shanks had a reason to cut in.
Crocus, the Roger Pirates’ ship doctor…
Red Force.
When Shanks returned to his ship, Benn Beckman bit a fruit juice straw and slowly said, “They didn’t agree, did they?”
“Yes…”
Shanks shook his head and sighed softly. “You guessed it right, Beckman… But we don’t have to pay attention to them. Just do what we want to do next!”
“Yes.”
Benn Beckman nodded and suddenly asked, “Where are we going now? Are we going to find the World Government at this time?
Although we have not formed an alliance with Whitebeard Pirates yet, as long as we act like we are helping Whitebeard Pirates in front of them, we should be able to force them to let Portgas D. Ace go…”
This was Red Hair Pirates’ original plan.
If Whitebeard agreed to Shanks’ request this time, then Shanks could use the excuse of an alliance to force the World Government to release Ace.
However, after Shanks saw Sasuke’s physical condition, he realized the seriousness of the matter. What the newspaper said was actually true…
Uchiha Sasuke…
He was really repelled by the World Government’s people!
“It’s hard to say now.”
Shanks shook his head seriously and continued in a low voice, “I don’t know when the World Government’s CP department has a strong member. Kabuto is indeed not to be underestimated. Maybe he is really confident in this war…
Then, no more people can come in!
Let’s go now to the Beast Pirates’ sea region and find out Kaido and Naruto’s attitudes. At least we can’t let them make trouble at this time!”
“Is that so…”
Benn Beckman frowned and sighed, “Kaido never seems to listen to advice!”
Moreover, the person the Beast Pirates hated the most now was Red Hair Pirates.
Kaido was very stubborn. No matter who said it, he would not listen. Of course, Shanks was also like this. No matter who said it, Shanks would continue to do whatever he wanted to do.
Red Force slowly turned around and left the Whitebeard Pirates’ sea region. They quickly headed for Beast Pirates’ sea region.
Shanks did not know.
Even if he could rush to Beast Pirates’ sea region, he would not even be able to see Kaido and Naruto because these two people were participating in a terrifying expedition ceremony!
Wano Country, Kuri.
Kuri was different from Flower Capital.
Because of Kuri’s wide terrain and close to the inland seaport, the Akatsuki’s members gathered in Kuri, including the various peripheral forces under the Akatsuki Organization.
In the past few years, the number of ninjas from the Ninja World had doubled. Now, Wano Country’s ninja army had exceeded 60,000 people, and Wano Country also had a samurai army of more than 20,000 people.
There were more than 20,000 pirates under Beast Pirates, not to mention that Beast Pirates also had a large number of Zoan-type devil fruit combat members.
Just the peripheral forces of Akatsuki…
It was definitely a huge army that could change the direction of any pirate war!
Now, these forces gathered in Kuri, whether in terms of strength or number, it was enough to flatten any country in the world easily!
Even Big Mom’s Whole Cake Island was no longer a threat!
Standing at the front of these troops…
They were all the captains or higher-ups of these troops.
The higher-ups on Beast Pirates: Kaido, Naruto, Jack the Drought, Queen the Plague, King the Conflagration, Yamato, and others.
On Allied Shinobi Forces’ side: Nara Shikamaru, Kitsuchi, Temari, Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei, Jiraiya, Fourth Raikage Ai, Killer Bee, and others were impressively listed.
The higher-ups of Wano Country Samurai: It was temporarily replaced by the Ninja World’s Country of Iron, General Mifune.
Behind them, there were more than 100,000 ninjas, samurai, and pirates. The densely packed figures made people unable to see the end at a glance!
At the end of this Allied Army, there were many giants and demons that were more than ten meters tall. They stood at the end of the group obediently.
“It’s just an expedition. Is there a need to bring so many people?”
Kaido drank a mouthful of wine and burped loudly. He said drunkenly, “I only need to take my own ship to get rid of that old man Whitebeard!”
“Brother Kaido…”
Queen shook his head, grinned, and said with a smile, “Our expedition this time is to conquer the world completely…”
“Ah?”
Kaido rubbed his head, then raised his head and drank another mouthful of wine, “Where’s Linlin? Aren’t we going to bring her along? I owed her a favor back then!”
“Brother Kaido, we’ll see her soon.”
King shook his head and said in a low voice, “The first place to attack by these 10,000 people standing here is Big Mom’s Totto Land… I hope that old woman will be sensible!”
