"Not interested in me?"
Shanks obviously didn't expect the other party to say these words, and he was stunned on the spot.
Not only him, but other members of Red-Haired Pirates around him also showed expressions of doubt and confusion.
After all, in the eyes of these people, all the guys who challenge Whitebeard are just doing it for fame.
And this kind of reputation can also be obtained by challenging another Pirate Emperor. There is not much difference in essence.
"Well! Because you are not Ability User of Devil Fruit." Allen simply gave the reason directly.
"What's this?"
Shanks cannot understand the meaning of this sentence at all.
To be precise, this was the first time he heard that someone was only willing to fight Ability User of Devil Fruit.
Allen shrugged his shoulders and explained, "You can understand that this is my personal quirk. Anyway, I have no interest in challenging you, and I will not be stupid enough to challenge a Four Emperor Pirate Crews for the so-called reputation, causing unnecessary trouble for myself."
There is no doubt that these words directly put Shanks at a loss.
If it were the other three Pirate Emperor, I don't care if you're interested or not, I can do whatever I want. Anyway, I have big fists and I'm reasonable.
But he is different.
He is a reasonable person. Although he inherited the bohemian style of Pirate King Roger, he never likes to force others to do things they don't want to do.
After a long silence, Shanks finally gave up his original plan and sighed helplessly, "Oh - you are really a strange guy."
After saying that, he instantly released his grip on the handle of the knife and let out a burst of free and easy laughter.
Immediately afterwards, everyone else on the boat started laughing too.
But just when some members of Red-Haired Pirates started clamoring for a banquet, Allen suddenly said, "Of course! If you are sure to send it to Whitebeard, a fight is not impossible."
"Huh?"
Shanks After hearing this, a sharp light suddenly burst out from his eyes.
"Do you think it's weird that I go back on my word?" Allen asked with a half-smile.
Shanks nodded with deep understanding. "That's right! You are the weirdest person I have ever met. And I really don't understand why you are only interested in Devil Fruit?"
"Haha, you will understand after this fight. Compared with swordsmanship, Haki, and physical skills, which have fixed upper limits, Devil Fruit is the one who truly possesses the power that Infinity can. It's a pity that people like you will never understand." Allen replied meaningfully.
What is Red-Haired Pirates's attitude towards Devil Fruit?
Just look at their crew.
From the captain to the cadres, no one is Devil Fruit's Ability User. They basically rely on swordsmanship, spearmanship, Haki and physical skills to conquer the world.
Of course, this does not mean that they are not strong enough.
Especially Haki, which can actually interfere with matter through spiritual power. No matter what kind of world it is placed in, it is definitely a top-notch cultivation system.
But the problem is, except for monsters like Allen that can Infinity grow, the mental power of most ordinary people has limits.
But Devil Fruit is different!
Some regular Devil Fruit are exactly the same as the most unreasonable Specialization type and Manipulation type among Nen abilities.
You don't even need to develop it at all, you just need to meet certain prerequisites, and you can easily overthrow enemies that are countless times more powerful than you.
The most typical ones are Joke-Joke Fruit and Ghost-Ghost Fruit.
So in Allen's view, Devil Fruit is the core thing in this world, and it is also the most valuable thing.
There is no doubt that a duel between two people with the strength of Master Swordsman will definitely not work at sea or on a ship.
Because their destructive power of Flying Slash mixed with Haki is too great, so they have to go ashore.
Under the guidance of the Red-Haired Pirates navigator, the two ships soon arrived at the nearest Uninhabited Island one after another.
The area of the island is not large, only about ten square kilometers, and it is the kind of coral island that will submerge most of it once the tide rises.
Red-Haired, who could no longer hold back his curiosity, directly pulled out the weapon hanging from his waist and said enthusiastically, "Come on! Let me see what you are capable of."
"As you wish!"
Allen didn't waste any time. He directly pulled out the ordinary sword that he usually used, covered it with Armament Haki, and then swung it out with all his strength.
The next second...
Boom!!!!!!!
The terrifying slash instantly tore the ground apart, leaving a terrifying crack that was more than thirty meters wide.
Shanks, who was directly opposite this slash, also swung a slash without any panic.
The moment the two slashes collided in the middle, the terrifying impact exploded, directly exploding a huge crater in the middle of the island.
"It's indeed Master Swordsman! Your slashing is very good!" Shanks praised without hesitation.
"Thank you for the compliment! Be careful! I will use the power of Devil Fruit next."
As the last word blurted out, Allen rushed out like an arrow from a string.
The moment he entered the attack range, he immediately released a 360-degree Slow-Slow Light irradiation with no blind spots.
"Not good!"
Through the powerful Observation Haki, Shanks undoubtedly foresaw this attack and immediately took off his clothes and threw them out, trying to prevent himself from falling into that ultra-slow time flow.
Unfortunately, Allen apparently also anticipated this action through Observation Haki, and directly swung his sword to tear a hole in his clothes.
As a result, Red-Haired underestimated the enemy and allowed his right foot to be irradiated even slightly, causing his whole body to fall into a brief stagnation involuntarily.
Although this process only lasted less than half a second, for a fast person like Allen, half a second can already do a lot of things.
puff!!!!!!!
I saw a flash of cold light!
Shanks was instantly slashed with a not too deep wound on his chest, and blood spurted out immediately.
If it hadn't been for Armament Haki, he would have been cut into two pieces by now.
When the members of Red-Haired Pirates saw this scene, their jaws almost dropped.
You must know that their captain fought with World's Greatest Swordsman Hawk Eyes for several days and nights, and he did not suffer any injuries.
But now?
He was almost chopped down by a newcomer!
Such a huge contrast, even Ben Beckman's mouth opened in surprise, and he didn't even notice that the cigarette fell to the ground.
fortunately!
After succeeding in the attack, Allen did not immediately pursue him. Instead, he stood on the spot and gently waved the long sword in his hand, throwing the blood beads on the blade to the ground. He said with a smile, "Now do you understand what I mean? Devil Fruit is not just a way to become stronger or an amplifier of strength as you imagined. On the contrary, it is the closest to the essence of power in this world."
