The Red Hair Pirates Take the Stage

Ryokugyu knelt on both knees, coughing up blood. He was clearly seriously injured!

Haku loosened her clenched hands and said with a smile, "I must say, although I don't use this Navy Rokushiki Ogi much, it's quite useful against someone like you!"

Kizaru felt a toothache after watching it!

But Haku, determined to strike while the iron was hot, drew her Zanpakuto again and swung it down at Ryokugyu's head!

A clang of metal clashing rang out!

Fujitora blocked Haku's Zanpakuto at just the right moment!

"The strength has decreased!" Fujitora keenly sensed that Haku's strength had diminished considerably!

"Borsalino, Haku is about to collapse! We can't give him a chance to catch his breath!" Fujitora shouted.

Kizaru's eyes lit up!

"Heavenly Cloud Sword"

Kizaru once again gathered photons in his hand, forming a sword of light!

A look of helplessness finally appeared on Haku's face!

He shouted, "If you keep watching this show, don't blame me for giving up!"

"What do you mean?" Kizaru asked, puzzled. What was Haku saying?

A slash brimming with Conqueror's Haki flew towards the Marine Admiral!

"Shanks! How could you be here!" Uta sensed that familiar presence.

She pinpointed Shanks' location first!

Shanks, holding Griffon in his hand, looked at Uta with a gentle smile and said, "It's been a long time, Uta. I've been wanting to hear you sing for ages!"

Uta, who had unknowingly gone to extremes, was not happy about the arrival of Shanks and the others!

Because of Elegea's lie back then, she stared intently at Shanks, laughing maniacally, and said, "Perfect timing! Let you be the ones to commemorate the New Era that I and all the fans around the world are about to usher in!"

"Everyone! The most evil Pirates have arrived. Let's take them down together!"

One by one, the soulless bodies stood up and launched an attack on the Red-Haired Shanks Pirates!

Haku, who was still locked in a fierce battle with Kizaru Fujitora in the distance, gave the Red Hair Pirates a resentful look.

"You bastard, couldn't you have waited until we finished our work before catching up?"

Unsurprisingly!

Haku's body went limp and she immediately hung up!

Fortunately, Shanks didn't move!

Ben Beckman and Yasopp simultaneously raised their guns to stop Kizaru and Fujitora's further actions.

"Gentlemen! I have some family matters to attend to right now. If you're not busy, could you please stay here?" Shanks said.

"Ahem! What are you talking about? We didn't come here foolishly to just stand there and watch you..."

Ryokugyu, who has just recovered, still wants to put on a show!

But Red-Haired Shanks's gaze suddenly became deep and majestic, and an indescribable sense of oppression surrounded him. It was Conqueror's Haki, which only a very few Top-Tier Powerhouse could master, and it was being fully released at this moment.

A low, rumbling sound, like thunder, seemed to emanate from the air, causing the very space to tremble.

Kizaru, Fujitora, and Ryokugyu, who had just managed to stand up, all involuntarily felt this tremor from the depths of their souls!

Their expressions instantly turned serious. The light on the Heavenly Cloud Sword in Kizaru's hand flickered uncertainly, as if he were struggling with whether to continue his attack.

Fujitora closed his already blind eyes, using his heightened senses to combat the intrusion of this Haki.

Ryokugyu, on the other hand, had even more blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, clearly showing his vulnerability under this pressure as his injuries had not yet healed.

"Family matters?" Ryokugyu's voice carried a hint of resentment, but more so an acknowledgment of Shanks' strength. "Red-Haired, you truly live up to your reputation. But remember, this place is now surrounded by the Marines, and we won't retreat easily."

Fujitora slowly opened his eyes, his blind eyes seemingly able to pierce through all illusions, staring straight into the depths of Shanks' soul. "Red-Haired, although I don't know what your purpose is in coming here, please don't get involved in this matter!"

"Hey! Doesn't that sound like you're threatening my captain?" Yasopp teased.

He raised his hand and fired a bullet that Vice Admiral the Vines that was about to reach Haku's body!

Ryokugyu's expression turned ugly for a moment, but he concealed it well!

"That's really scary! If we really fight him, I'm afraid our forces won't be enough, right?" Kizaru said, feigning fear.

"Military strength?" Shanks chuckled, his tone brimming with undeniable confidence. "On this the Sea, true strength is never built on numbers. Besides, the Red Hair Pirates never act unprepared."

He surveyed his surroundings, his eyes revealing a sense of control over the situation. "Gentlemen," he said, "I am not here today to oppose the Navy, but to clear up a misunderstanding, to take my daughter away, and to prevent an unnecessary disaster."

As he spoke, Shanks' gaze fell on Uta again, his tone softening slightly, "Uta, I know we deceived you, but that's no excuse for Injuries the innocent and creating chaos. Your songs have brought hope and joy to countless people, and I hope you can rediscover that original spirit."

Uta's body trembled slightly. Shanks' words were like a warm breeze, dispelling some of the gloom in her heart. But the madness in her eyes had not completely disappeared; Elegea's lies were like Poison Stinger, deeply embedded in her heart.

"Shanks... I..." Uta's voice was hoarse, tinged with struggle and pain.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Don't want!"

Uta stared blankly at the fan in front of her who had been hit by a bullet!

Realizing what had happened, she ran to the fan's side and pressed on his wound to stop the bleeding.

"Cheer up! New Era is about to begin. Don't die!"

Uta's fragile heart completely collapsed!

"You so-called righteous navy people, are you really planning to massacre civilians?! Answer me, Kizaru!" Ben Beckman said angrily.

There are simply too many gunmen hiding among the civilians!

Even if the Red Hair Pirates wanted to stop them, they would be helpless for the time being!

"Without sacrifice, where would justice come from? I had no choice; to stop one child, I had to obey my superiors and sacrifice tens of thousands of people!"

Kizaru didn't actually want to do it this way either!

However, Akainu and the World Government have already issued their orders!

He had no choice but to do this, even though he had no conscience!

"Yasakani no Magatama!"

Kizaru once again soared into the air and launched an attack towards Uta's location!

Red-Haired drew Griffon, deflecting all attacks and rapidly closing in on Kizaru.

Press the tip of Griffon's sword against the opponent's chin!

Shanks said coldly, "Haku just used her Observation Haki to ask me to pass on a message to you!"

Before Kizaru could refuse, Shanks said, "He told me to tell you! If you dare to lay a hand on these tens of thousands of people again, he wouldn't mind coming out early and joining forces with me to slaughter you all!!!"
