Feverish Action: Headhunting Shanks!
The New World, Slankov Island.
A gunshot suddenly rang out in the previously peaceful port market.
The various people on the dock were all stunned when they heard the sound. The next second, gunshots rang out, followed by shouts and screams from the market.
Upon hearing the commotion, Yasopp, Yasopp in the dock, suddenly perked up and shouted nervously, "Quick, quick, weigh anchor, hoist the sails! We've been spotted again!"
As he was making his call, a large, stout figure smashed through the market entrance gate. The figure looked quite disheveled, carrying two bags of rice. After breaking through the gate, he fled towards the dock without saying a word.
The next second, several men wielding Fire Pistol, who didn't look like respectable people, rushed out of the market and started firing wildly at the fat figure.
But that figure was incredibly agile, swaying left and right, moving like a snake, dodging bullets without even turning its head!
"Stop him! He's from the Red Hair Pirates! Vice Admiral G-12, Momonga, is in the waters around here. If we can hold them off, it'll be a huge win!!!" a bounty hunter shouted.
As soon as this guy shouted, everyone in the port who didn't know what had happened suddenly became enthusiastic.
The vegetable vendor threw the vegetable scraps he was holding onto his stall, picked up a cleaver from the cutting board, his eyes filled with madness, leaped up from his stall, pounced on the stout figure, and swung his hand to chop.
The fishmonger, brandishing his frozen fish, charged out with a fierce expression.
Even the old lady who came to buy groceries stared intently at the figure, saying, "He's here! He's here! I'm watching him! Kill him!"
That stout figure was none other than Lucky Roux, a member of the Red Hair Pirates.
This guy shoved aside the vegetable vendor who lunged at him, then snatched the frozen fish from the fishmonger and bit into it. With a ferocious expression, he knocked down a dozen or so people blocking his way and charged toward the port dock.
The port gang leader, who was waiting at the dock entrance, saw him, drew his machete, and excitedly charged forward, shouting, "If I kill you all, I can become a tycoon!!!"
Not to mention that Marine Admiral Ortolan spread rumors that anyone who got Red-Hair's head could ask him for a favor, the Shichibukai Gecko Moria alone had set a bounty of 10 billion Beli on Shanks' head in the Underworld!
However, just as the gang leader took two steps forward, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet blew him out of the head. Then, Lucky Roux passed through his corpse, leaped, and jumped onto the Red Force!
Raki Lu rolled around on the deck, cursing and complaining to Yasopp, who had put away his gun. "Damn it, everyone in the New World is looking for us like crazy. Even the rice shop owner has our wanted posters hanging in his shop!"
As he said this, a large group of people stopped at the edge of the harbor, each with a gun at the ready, and started firing wildly again!
"Quick, quick, report this to Boss Ai! Tell him the Red Hair Pirates have appeared in our territory! They've appeared on Slankov Island!!!" a pirate underling shouted.
Several bounty hunters moved with lightning speed, already boarding their ships, raising sails and anchoring, ready to give chase.
However, the Red Force was of excellent performance, and by the time these dilapidated ships got moving, the Red Force had already sailed far away.
"Damn it!" the bounty hunter leader cursed, slamming his fist on the side of the boat. "We can't catch up!"
"Boss, right now, the New World Underworld are selling Red-Hair Vivre Card everywhere, and they're only 100,000 Beli each. Why don't we buy one too? Let's take a gamble and turn our small boat into a cruise ship!" the bounty hunter underling said with a slightly fanatical expression.
"You idiot!" The bounty hunter slapped his underling across the back of the head and said, "You think I didn't buy it?"
"Then why don't you use it?!" the younger brother asked in surprise.
"Damn it, they're all fake! Although the Marines released a large number of Red-Hair's Vivre Card, they've already been snatched up by more capable people. What kind of rubbish are these Shanks 'Red-Hair Vivre Card being sold on the black market now? They're all fake, just a scam! A bunch of damn profiteers! The three Vivre Card I bought, one points to Fishmonger Qiang, one points to that gangster boss who just got his head blown off, and the other one is even more outrageous, pointing to Fang from G-5!" the bounty hunter cursed.
The One Piece has been a legend at sea since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era. It is said to be the endless treasure collected by the Pirate King Roger, and is known as the "One Piece of the Sea". Everyone agrees that this treasure is in the New World, at the end of the world!
But to this day, so many years have passed, and countless people have gone to sea in search of this thing, yet not a single one has actually found it.
The appearance of the treasure seemed somewhat superficial, failing to give people a genuine sense of the overwhelming aura of wealth and treasure!
But now, the 'One Piece' recognized in the New World has changed; it is now One Piece 'Red-Hair head!
Compared to the ethereal 'One Piece', Marine Admiral Bane Ortolan is a real and tangible figure, as is the Red-Hair Shanks, who has a bounty on his head. Moreover, Admiral dislocated an arm, killed a vice-captain, and severely injured Shanks.
In the past, people might have worried about Red-Hair's strength and threat, but now, anyone with a bit of ambition would want to take a chance.
Anyway, being a pirate means risking your life to find that 'One Piece,' and you might not even be able to find him. Now, I'll risk my life and if I can kill Red-Hair, I'll be set for life!
As a result, the entire New World is now very lively. It can be said that in the most conspicuous place in every tavern, there are wanted posters for the entire Red Hair Pirates. At every dock, there are information brokers watching and waiting for them to show up.
Every bounty hunter, and even every pirate, has their portrait and photograph!
In the dark world, the most sought-after information is about the whereabouts of the Red Hair Pirates. Any accurate and reliable information can be sold for a high price immediately!
Some even went so far as to call this nationwide "hunt" in the New World "Operation Frenzy: Headhunter Red-Hair"!
As a result, the Red Hair Pirates have been in a sorry state lately, constantly being chased and fleeing.
Because of the party on Hachinosu Island, they used up most of the food and supplies on the ship. Originally, they planned to resupply after taking Hachinosu Island, but after this incident, they were chased around like a stray dog.
There were no supplies left, and the food on the ship was all gone. Now, they could only do what they did: sneak onto an island, go up and take as much as they could, and leave the rest up to luck. If they could catch fish along the way, they would have something to eat; if they couldn't, they would go hungry.
The Red Hair Pirates are currently in a very low state of mind and morale.
Yasopp weighed the two bags of rice in his hand, a worried expression on his face. "I just contacted Sanbell (a former Fish-Man on Roger's ship), and he said that the ports and coating areas on Fish-Man Island all under surveillance by the island's gangsters. Our photos and portraits are plastered everywhere. It seems impossible for us to leave the New World from Fish-Man Island..."
"Fish-Man Island won't work, then let's go through the Calm Belt!" Lucky Rue replied, then asked Yu, "How's the captain?"
Upon hearing Yasopp's expression turned bitter, and he shook his head. "He still hasn't woken up. The ship's doctor said his injuries have stabilized and his life is no longer in danger, but in theory, he should have woken up a couple of days ago, but he's still in a coma... I think, maybe subconsciously he doesn't want to wake up?"
Upon hearing this, Raki Lu fell silent.
Because of his decision, he not only lost his arm and his beloved knife that he had carried with him for many years, but also caused his good brother to die on Hachinosu Island.
It's understandable that one's own captain wouldn't want to wake up.
Meanwhile, on Dallas Island, Smoker also received a message from his subordinates.
"What? In our territory!?" Smoker looked surprised, then his expression turned fierce. "These guys actually dare to come to my territory at a time like this? Do they think I can't handle them? I get it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Smoker hung up the Den Den Mushi and then took out a Life Card from his pocket.
This is Shanks' Life Card. It's safe to say that every big shot in the New World has one!
After obtaining this item, Smoker Mind had no intention of actually searching for it, as he had other things to attend to. However, now that the Red Hair Pirates had come to his territory, things were different!
When it's delivered right to your door, how can you refuse to eat it?
"Prepare the boats, get the fastest one ready, I'm going to take those bastards' heads right now!" Smoker shouted menacingly.
