At the same time.
Located on the sea in the other direction of the island, a large two-masted ship drifted with the current at a certain distance from the island that was attacked by wild animals.
If Dragon were also located in this sea area at this time, they would definitely be facing a powerful enemy due to the appearance of this two-masted ship.
Because, this big two-masted ship is not an ordinary ship, but the warship of Red Hair Pirates - Red Force, led by Shanks, one of the famous Yonko of New World.
On the deck of Red Force, all the members of the Red Hair Pirates group looked up at the smoke-filled island opposite, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Captain Red Hair Pirates, captain Shanks, who was standing at the bow of the ship with a Western sword attached to his waist, was holding a telescope. When he saw densely packed civilians gathering at the port, and the navy warships that came to rescue moved the civilians one after another, the tense expression on his face gradually relaxed.
"It's amazing that the civilians in this town were rescued so quickly!"
Shanks handed the telescope in his hand to Beckman beside him and asked, "What do you think of the appearance of these violent animals?"
Beckman said thoughtfully, "The violent animals that appeared on East Blue are almost exactly the same as the violent animals on an island in my memory. However, that island disappeared sixteen years ago. At that time, some people suspected that it sank to the bottom of the sea, while others suspected that it was washed up into the sky by Knock Up Stream like Jaya Island."
"Now it seems that the island disappeared not because it sank to the bottom of the sea, nor because Knock Up Stream became Sky Island, but because it was artificially taken to a place we don't know."
"And there is only one person who can take an island away!"
"Shiki owns Piaopiao Devil Fruit ability?" Shanks frowned slightly, "If Shiki, who has disappeared for more than ten years, really makes a comeback, then he must be in New World now!"
"Boss!"
At this moment, Lucky Roux quickly came to Shanks and said with a serious face, "We just found a dragon boat in another sea area!"
"Dragon ship?" Shanks subconsciously looked back and glanced at Red Force's bow, which had a dragon-like shape.
"Boss, this is not our Red Force."
Lucky Roux twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and then said, "It is the dragon boat of the Revolutionary Army leader Dragon."
"Dragon also came to East Blue?"
Shanks narrowed his eyes slightly. First, the warship led by Garp appeared in the port of the opposite town, and then he deduced that the man behind the East Blue violent animal incident was Golden Lion Shiki, who had disappeared for many years. Now a Revolutionary Army leader appeared, giving him a feeling of meeting in a storm.
"That's not the point, boss," Lucky Roux took a piece of steak and took a bite of it, slurring his words. "The point is, Marine Headquarters Admiral Borsalino is also on that ship."
"Borsalino is on Dragon's ship?" Shanks's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Beckman, "What do you think?"
"Don't ask me anything!" Beckman said with a serious expression, "You are the captain!"
"You are the deputy captain!" Shanks walked up to Beckman and said with a smile, "Don't be so serious. Beckman, let's analyze why Marine Headquarters Admiral took the same ship with the leader Revolutionary Army!"
"Two reasons!"
Beckman raised two fingers and said calmly, "Either Borsalino has always been in contact with Dragon, or he may even be Revolutionary Army's undercover agent.". After all, Dragon served in Marine Headquarters back then, and he and Borsalino and their group of navy Headquarters Officer were partners who fought side by side!"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!" Shanks put away his smile and asked, "What about the second reason?"
"Of course, we are preparing to recruit Revolutionary Army under the order of Navy Marshal!"
"I think the second possibility is the most likely. From Akira's behavior since he became Navy Marshal, it is not difficult to see that what he wants is not just to clear the sea and make the world free of thieves, but to make all the forces of Four Blues and Grand Line surrender!"
"In a sense, Akira has the same ambition to rule the world as Rocks and later Shiki. The only difference is that Akira has a unique advantage over the previous two!"
"A unique advantage?" Shanks blinked, "Is it because he is Navy Marshal?"
"No," Beckman waved his hand, "This is just one of them. The real advantage is that some people in Holy Land hope that he will become bigger, and even hope that he will replace Chamber of Power and control World Government in the future!"
Speaking of which, "Holy Land is currently undergoing a power reshuffle. If Akira can make Revolutionary Army surrender, plus he monopolizes the power of the navy and has millions of naval soldiers who will follow him to death, he will definitely become a being above Chamber of Power!"
"But how can Holy Land give up power? This makes me puzzled!"
"Is it possible that someone or some force in Holy Land is not worried that Akira will lose control and replace them as the most powerful person in World Government?"
"In other words, this person or force is confident that it can kill him after using Akira to complete the power reshuffle?"
Having said this, Beckman suddenly raised his head and looked at Shanks, "Hearing this, you should be able to think of who Holy Land has such a person or force. After all, you know the distribution of Holy Land's forces relatively well."
"What do you mean? The boss knows the power distribution of Holy Land quite well?"
A crew member suddenly came over and looked at Shanks with wide eyes, "Boss, have you been to Holy Land?"
Shanks did not answer, but narrowed his eyes slightly.
He not only went to Holy Land, but also lived in Holy Land for a period of time.
If Holy Land really has such a person, it must be the Lord Im whom he overheard his brother Shamrock mention once.
After a brief silence, Shanks suddenly shook his head and laughed, "Whether Holy Land is such a person or not, let's consider our current situation first! Shiki has made a comeback after disappearing for more than ten years, and it will definitely cause a bloody storm in Grand Line..."
"Huh?"
Before he finished speaking, Shanks's pupils suddenly contracted, and a picture flashed before his eyes.
In the picture, Shiki with long golden hair on his head and two long swords on his feet fell from the sky. With the powerful Devil Fruit ability, he lifted all the pirate ships under Red Hair Pirates into the air.
Standing suspended in the air, Haki's unparalleled Shiki stood on the sea surface. Densely packed warships rushed out of the thick fog. Some were pirates that he had never heard of, and some were pirate groups that had been active in New World over the years.
Obviously, Shiki has integrated these pirate forces active in New World, and is about to invade his territory and make the pirates under his command surrender.
The moment he captured the scene from the future, the cold light in Shanks's eyes disappeared, and his murderous intent suddenly reached its peak.
