With One Man's Strength, the Red-Haired Pirates Annihilated
Without a doubt, that was the flag of the Red-Haired Pirates.
The New World may not be vast, but it's certainly not narrow either. How could someone encounter something like this?
What a coincidence!
"Interesting."
He smiled softly.
"What's wrong, Sirius?"
Yamato shouted at the top of her lungs on the deck, noticing that Sirius's reaction was off.
Sirius laughed, "It's the Red-Haired Pirates."
"The Red-Haired Pirates?"
Jack lost all interest in fishing. He leaped onto the deck, tilted his head back, and shouted, "Sirius, are you talking about Shanks the Red-Haired's Red-Haired Pirates?"
"In the New World now, no one should dare to impersonate Red-Haired, right?" Black Maria frowned and drew her weapon.
Not necessarily.
Sirius laughed and said, "I even encountered a guy impersonating me before, didn't I, Yamato?"
"That's right, that's right!"
Yamato exclaimed, "He really looks like Sirius! I almost mistook him for someone else!"
So, exactly where do they resemble each other?
Sirius's lips twitched.
Is now the time to talk about this?
Jack roared, "Shanks the Red-Haired, that guy is no ordinary pirate!"
"Is that guy really that good?" Ulti couldn't help but ask.
At twelve years old, she has never been to sea and doesn't have a very accurate understanding of the influential figures on the high seas.
"That's really amazing!"
Maria said, "Right now, among all the pirates in the world, besides the three emperors, he has the highest bounty!"
"The pirates all say he's the man who will become the fourth Pirate Emperor," Jack added, "Calling him Emperor Candidate."
"Emperor Candidate!"
Ulti's eyes widened, her already round eyes becoming even rounder. "Doesn't that mean—"
"Would defeating him instantly make me famous?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you idiot!"
Jack roared, "That's not an opponent you can even touch!"
He shouted, "Sirius! What are we going to do? Turn around?"
Sirius leaped lightly from the mast and landed on the bow. He raised his foot and placed it on the gunwale, looking rather triumphant.
"Turn around? Who do you think I am? Move the boat closer!"
"Should we just go straight over there?"
Jack's eyes widened.
That's incredibly stubborn!
Red-Haired Shanks?
Hiyori smiled slightly, somewhat looking forward to their upcoming meeting.
On the distant sea, aboard the Red Force, the Red-Haired Pirates had also noticed the ship rapidly approaching.
"Instead of running away, they're actually moving closer to us?"
Yasopp, the sniper of the Red-Haired Pirates, a man with dreadlocks, laughed heartily, "Looks like they're preparing for a final battle with us."
"A pirate flag I've never seen before!"
The fat Lucky Roo squinted at the ship, making out the huge pattern on the sail. He racked his brains and realized that he couldn't recall any pirate crew flying that flag, whether in the New World or Paradise.
"Is some greenhorn trying to climb the ladder in one step?"
If the Red-Haired Pirates can be defeated, then even an unknown person can instantly become famous.
"I'm afraid not,"
First Mate Beckman lowered his binoculars, his expression serious. "Shanks, it's Black Wolf."
"Black Wolf?"
Yasopp was taken aback. "Which Black Wolf?"
There are countless pirates on the high seas with this nickname.
"Of course it's that Black Wolf!"
A one-armed man with bright red hair walked to the bow of the ship, gazing at the rapidly approaching vessel. A smirk played on his lips.
"What an amazing guy!"
The two ships are getting closer and closer.
Sirius stood at the bow of the ship and soon he could clearly see the Red-Haired man on the bow of the opposite ship.
Although I've been working in the New World for many years, this is indeed the first time I've met this man.
Sirius could even see the smile on the man's face.
They drew closer and closer, the distance between the two ships quickly shrinking to less than a hundred meters, and then both sides tacitly stopped moving forward.
Sirius stood at the bow of his ship, meeting the gaze of the man standing at the opposite bow. He laughed loudly, "Is that Shanks the Red-Haired, the former crew member of the Pirate King, whose bounty is second only to the three Emperors, known as the Emperor Candidate, and who fought to a draw with the World's Greatest Swordsman?"
The Red-Haired opposite him was clearly taken aback for a moment, then he laughed as well. "It's me, that's right. So, are you Black Wolf Sirius known as the Wasteland, who at only sixteen years old already has a bounty of one billion, a former high-ranking officer of the Beasts Pirates?"
"Of course it's me!"
Sirius laughed heartily, "What an interesting man!"
However, I lost to him in the title! How infuriating!
Red-Haired was also laughing heartily, probably lamenting the same thing.
"What are these two up to?" Ulti stood behind Sirius, raising an eyebrow as she looked at the two laughing men. "Are they out of their minds?"
Jack nodded in deep agreement.
"Are they just flattering each other?" Yasopp asked in surprise on the Red Force. "These young pirates these days are really interesting."
"That guy is unusually powerful."
Beckman stubbed out the cigarette from his mouth, his hand already on the hilt of his gun. "Be prepared. If a fight breaks out, it's likely to be a fierce battle."
"That brat?"
Yasopp frowned. "Incredible! He's only sixteen! A monster?"
"So, Black Wolf?"
The Red-Haired's smile remained unchanged. "What brings you here all this time? If it's a fight, I'm happy to oblige!"
Who would go to such lengths for something like that?
Sirius laughed heartily, "Fighting is always just a means, not an end! I came over just to ask you a question, Red-Haired, meeting at sea is fate, so..."
Are you coming to have a banquet?
Red-Haired was genuinely taken aback by Sirius's unexpected remark, then a smirk appeared on his lips. "What an invitation I can't refuse! Let's have a banquet then!"
"So, why did things turn out this way?"
Jack's eye twitched.
Before him, on the deck of the Red Force, a joyous banquet was underway.
The pirates' joyful laughter echoed to every corner of this sea.
Why does it feel like the world has suddenly been fast-forwarded?
Beckman patted Jack on the shoulder. "I understand. Having a captain like that must be a headache, right?"
"..."
Jack's pupils suddenly trembled. This man... he understands me!
"Want to have a drink together?" Beckman smiled and raised his glass.
Jack grinned and raised his glass as well.
On the other side, Sirius and Red-Haired were arm in arm, each holding a glass of wine and laughing heartily, surrounded by a pile of empty bottles.
Red-Haired laughed heartily, "This kid who's not even an adult yet can really hold his liquor, huh?"
"Just kidding! I can really hold my liquor!" Sirius smugly.
"You dare to say that, kid!" The Red-Haired's eyes sharpened. "Want to have a match?"
Sirius raised an eyebrow. "You're courting death!"
"Hahaha, let's have a showdown!" The Red-Haired raised his wine glass high.
"Oh!!"
The surrounding pirates burst into laughter.
"Then the rules are," Lucky Roo shouted. "The winner continues to accept challenges until no one can stand up anymore!"
Sirius laughed heartily, stood up, and shouted, "Then bring it on!"
On this day, the Red-Haired Pirates tasted defeat.
Are all Zoan Devil Fruit User monsters?
The last remaining member of the Red-Haired Pirates, still standing strong, couldn't help but blurt out these words as he watched the man approaching him.
They were utterly defeated by one man, and in the end, none of them could stand up anymore.
