Since both ships had full sails and neither had any intention of slowing down, it didn't take long to see clearly the number of people on the other's deck and their general clothing.
Especially the iconic Red-Haired and one-armed Shanks, anyone who is not blind can recognize it.
Unfortunately, Ike has no idea that this man with a perverse smile on his face is one of New World's four sea emperors.
Without saying a word, the muscles all over his body expanded rapidly, and he was about to completely transform into a giant ape form. When he jumped directly onto the deck of Rend Foss, Allen gently patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Stop! They are not ordinary One Piece."
"Oh? Is it a certain famous Great Pirate?" Ike quickly stopped transforming, turned around and asked with glaring eyes.
"Well! Have you seen that red-haired guy? He is one of Shanks, New World Four Emperors, and the captain of Red-Haired Pirates." Allen pursed his lips and explained with a smile.
"Hai...Pirate Emperor?!"
Ike obviously knew the meaning of this name, and there was an expression of extreme surprise on his face.
After all, in the second half of Grand Line, Four Emperors is a powerful force that can compete with the navy and World Government chamber.
Especially Shanks, the last one to reach the summit, set a series of unprecedented records.
In addition, he was once an intern on board Pirate King Roger, so he often received extra attention from newspaper news and his reputation was relatively high.
"Yeah! Get ready! Because that man is about to take action."
As the last word Allen blurted out, a terrifying wave of Conqueror's Haki fell from the sky and directly enveloped the small wooden boat.
Although he was reminded, Ike still almost lost his knees and knelt on the ground on the spot.
fortunately!
In any case, he had experienced the test of life and death, and he also had the mental strengthening gained after controlling his life force, so in the end he still managed not to kneel down even though he was sweating profusely.
In contrast, Allen seemed much calmer, still maintaining its original posture and standing on the bow.
Ben Beckman on the Rend Foss saw this scene and raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Huh? Conqueror's Haki can actually withstand such a level. It seems that the other party is not an ordinary person."
"Hahahaha! It's more fun this way, isn't it?" Shanks's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Ah! I remembered! Remember the Sea Devil mentioned in the newspaper some time ago. Don't you think he is very similar to the young man opposite?"
A fierce-looking strong man without any eyebrows or hair suddenly reminded him loudly.
After Ben Beckman heard that, he immediately recalled the report, narrowed his eyes and said, "That's it! That young man with short silver hair should be the guy who defeated Seven Warlords Doflamingo not long ago and wiped out the entire Sabaody Archipelago Pirate Crew army."
"All?! Just two people!" Shanks obviously had not read the newspaper of that day, so he also showed a surprised expression.
After all, in this world, most people become famous through a step-by-step process. Otherwise, Devil Child Robin would not have caused such a big sensation if he was directly offered a reward of 79 million when he was a child.
"No! To be precise, there is only one person." Ben Beckman corrected. "If that report didn't contain any embarrassment, this young man named Allen is already an out-and-out Master Swordsman, and he is also unique in the development of Devil Fruit."
"Master Swordsman? Is it another monster..." Shanks touched his chin and smiled.
As an old partner, Ben Beckman obviously knew his captain's thoughts very well, and immediately dissuaded him. "If you want to invite him on board, you'd better give up the idea as soon as possible. As far as I know, he doesn't have a good impression of One Piece."
But Shanks shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "How will you know if you don't try. What's more, now that he has found us, I, Pirate Emperor, can't be a coward."
Just as he was talking, two wooden sailboats finally passed by each other while brushing against the sides.
Allen jumped onto the deck of Rend Foss without hesitation, and asked in a slightly embarrassed tone, "Um... can you please tell me which direction the nearest island is?"
Plop!
All the menacing Red-Haired Pirates fell down instantly, and many more burst into laughter.
Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that this young man driving towards them would want to ask for directions.
Suddenly, the tense atmosphere disappeared and was replaced by an extremely happy and lively scene.
"Hahahaha! Oh my God! Are you disoriented?"
"It's unbelievable! You don't even have navigators and you dare to come to New World, right?"
"It's really a miracle that I can survive until now!"
"How pitiful! Let's hold a party to comfort their wounded hearts."
Seeing that the crew members at home were starting to mess around again, Ben Beckman immediately coughed hard to signal everyone to keep quiet, and then asked tentatively, "Are you sure you are just here to ask for directions?"
Allen nodded without thinking, "Of course! If it is convenient, it would be better to just tell me the current location of Whitebeard."
"Whitebeard?!"
When Shanks heard these three words, his face suddenly became serious. "What are you looking for Whitebeard for?"
"Of course, to see the power of the strongest man in the world! Especially the power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit!" Allen did not hide his intention at all and gave the answer straightforwardly.
"You want to challenge Whitebeard?!" Ben Beckman's expression suddenly became very strange.
Because as far as he knew, most of the young people who shouted to challenge Whitebeard eventually became the sons of Whitebeard without exception.
To put it simply, Edward Newgate relied on his strong personal charm to recruit the juniors who came to challenge him one by one, and finally formed the huge Whitebeard Pirates.
"Yes! Your answer is..."
Allen dragged out a long note and turned his attention to Red-Haired Shanks.
The latter put one hand on the handle of the knife and asked with a grin, "Why don't you challenge me? You know that I am also one of Four Emperors. As long as you defeat me, you will become famous in the sea immediately."
"Challenge you? Sorry, I have no interest in you." Allen refused without thinking.
If there is one person among the powerful people in this world that he least wants to compete with, Shanks is definitely one of them.
The reason is simple!
There is no power in the other party that interests him.
Whether it's swordsmanship or Haki, there is someone stronger than him.
What's more, compared to these two, Devil Fruit is what Allen wants most.
