Because Red-Haired Shanks appeared again, all the captains of Whitebeard Pirates were present.
"Dad, what is Shanks doing again?"
Whitebeard Pirates Captain of the Fourth Squadron Thatch glanced at the slowly approaching Red Foss on the opposite side, and said blankly, "Has he been moving too frequently recently? Last time because of Shiki led Pirate Alliance to invade his territory. Although Shiki eventually left in embarrassment due to the appearance of Zunesha, shouldn't he be trying to appease people in the territory at this time?"
"It must be because Shiki broke into Impel Down!"
The team leader Marco, who was standing nearby, took the words and said solemnly, "Have you all read today's newspaper? After Shiki broke into Impel Down, although he released several vicious criminals from Infinite Hell, they were all executed in Extreme Cold Hell by Akira."
"Without Shiki, the remnant of the old era who suddenly appeared, Akira will definitely purge New World again! And now New World only has his father and Shanks, the two sea emperors, with the navy's current morale and ever-expanding combat power, even if Red Hair Pirates led by Shanks, known as Iron Wall Pirates, will be unable to survive alone!"
Hearing this, all the captains present fell silent.
The current world situation has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. In the words of Akira, the new Navy Marshal, the current world situation has already changed from offensive to defensive.
After a brief silence, Marco looked around at the captains present, then looked up at Whitebeard, and then said, "Dad, Shanks is here this time. Most likely, he wants to know your attitude, and may even want to join hands with Whitebeard Pirates to deal with the next situation! If he really comes for this, what will dad do?"
As soon as Marco finished speaking, a member of Whitebeard Pirates suddenly jumped onto the deck of Moby Dick and shouted, "Shanks is here!"
At the same time.
The Red Foss stopped on the sea surface a hundred meters away from Moby Dick.
Immediately afterwards, Shanks, who was wearing a cloak and carrying a Western sword Griffin at his waist, jumped off the deck with a large jar of wine that had been collected for many years, and landed on a small boat that was already waiting beside him.
Seeing the figure coming alone in the boat, the captains of Whitebeard Pirates came to the edge of the deck one after another, looking down at Shanks who was slowly approaching.
Marco even promptly reminded, "All crew members below the deputy captain should evacuate Moby Dick!"
At Marco's reminder, the crew members of the captains under Whitebeard Pirates ducked out one after another and returned to the decks of their respective warships docked around Moby Dick.
At the same time, Shanks also jumped up dragging the huge wine jar and landed steadily on the deck of Moby Dick. With a warm smile on his face, he waved his hands and said, "Hey captains, don't be so nervous. I'm just here to catch up with Whitebeard!"
With that said, Shanks dragged the wine jar and walked out and sat down cross-legged opposite Whitebeard.
"Shanks, if you are here because of the New World situation and want to form an alliance with me, I advise you to give up!"
Whitebeard did not give Shanks a good look, and his voice was so low that it was as if he had met his enemy, "The last one who came to me to join forces has now been buried in Extreme Cold Hell! Grand Line already belongs to the navy, even World Government has to give in, let alone you and me!"
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop Whitebeard!"
Shanks threw the wine jar beside him to Whitebeard, and then said, "I believe you have seen what Navy Marshal Akira is going to do. One of his goals is to eliminate Grand Line! Now New World In addition to you and me, the emperors including Underworld have all pledged their loyalty to Akira. Under such circumstances, how can Akira, who is determined to eliminate pirates, allow you and me to continue to dominate New World!"
"One of the goals?"
Whitebeard took the wine jar but did not drink it. After placing it beside him, he stared at Shanks with burning eyes, "Besides eliminating the pirates, does he have other goals?"
"It seems that Whitebeard Pirates's intelligence work is not done well."
Shanks showed a smile and continued, "Based on what Akira has done during this period, he is not the kind of Navy Marshal who is willing to be inferior to others. Although World Government chose to compromise after he launched the mutiny, he wanted It's not just as simple as taking over Chamber of Power. From the series of reforms he carried out in Holy Land, it is not difficult to see that he not only wants to eliminate the pirates, but also reshuffles World Government, especially Celestial Dragons, which enjoys all privileges."
"He can't even tolerate the sand inside World Government, let alone you and me as Yonko! Even if your dream is to build a big family, it can't change your identity as a pirate!"
"Even if you give up your identity as a pirate and lead your sons to find a place to live and rest, Akira still has a reason to get rid of you!"
"The reason is that you have too much influence!"
"As long as you don't die, your influence will always exist, leading countless admirers to rush to the sea."
"The most important thing is that even if you die, as long as you don't die at the hands of the navy, your influence will still last for a long time."
"So, your end can only and must be to die at the hands of the navy!"
"Because they need to kill you to deter Grand Line, the pirate forces that have not yet become established."
Hearing this, Whitebeard fell silent.
After a few seconds of silence, Whitebeard unscrewed the wine jar, then raised his head and drank freely.
Whitebeard, who was addicted to alcohol, wiped away the unpleasantness he felt when he first met Shanks, threw the bottomed wine jar into the sea, and laughed boldly, "Glala lala, the wine is good wine, but every time I see your face, the wounds on my body hurt!"
After a slight pause, Whitebeard suddenly stood up, and invisible pressure surged out, covering Shanks completely.
"Shanks, joining forces with you is beyond my scope of consideration!"
"But since you're already here, how about you help me clarify my doubts?!"
Feeling the majestic pressure coming towards him and the sense of oppression unique to World's Strongest Man, Shanks still had a smile on his face and said calmly, "You want to know why Akira can go beyond Chamber of Power to carry out drastic rectification of World Government?"
"The reason is simple!"
"The real person in power of World Government is not Five Elders!"
"But a Imu who lives in Holy Land Flower Chamber all year round and wants to ascend to Void Throne and become a dictator!"
"The existence of Imu was the biggest secret of World Government before Akira appeared. However, since Akira appeared and successfully launched a mutiny, the existence of Imu has been semi-public. Anyone who is interested can detect it."
Whitebeard was surprisingly not shocked by the existence of Imu, and said in a calm tone, "Fifty years ago, Rocks broke into Holy Land during Reverie, and killed a Admiral started recruiting crew members everywhere after returning to Grand Line. After I also joined Rocks Pirates, Rocks once said that if you want to defeat that person, you must have at least two Devil Fruit!"
"The person Rocks mentioned back then should be the Imu you are talking about."
After a slight pause, Whitebeard suddenly showed an expression of realization, and then glanced at Shanks, "So, the reason why Akira launched the mutiny was because he knew Imu! In the end, Akira chose to stay with World Government because Imu reached some kind of agreement with him!"
"In other words, Imu doesn't care about how Akira rectifies World Government and eliminates pirates. The reason why it reached an agreement with Akira is because it needs the help it needs!"
"If this is true, it means that Imu is afraid of something!"
Unexpectedly, Whitebeard actually inferred this level. Shanks raised his eyes unexpectedly and said, "To make Imu, who controls World Government behind the scenes, frightened, I can only think of two possibilities!"
"One is Rocks·D·Xebec who escaped unharmed after breaking into Holy Land! He may still be alive!"
"Because Rocks·D·Xebec also has another name called David D·Xebec, and he is a descendant of David D. Jones!"
"Huh?" Whitebeard's eyes flashed.
He had followed Rocks, so he naturally knew the identity of Rocks. Because before the God Valley war, Rocks had met Giant Kingdom Elbaf King Harald, and informed Harald of his identity.
However, this identity is only known to him, Harald and a few other two or three people, and Shanks was just born that year, so it is impossible to know this secret.
Although he was surprised by Shanks's intelligence gathering ability, Whitebeard did not show it and asked calmly, "What about other things?"
"Other than that, the only one who can make Imu, who controls World Government behind the scenes, so scared that he needs help from others is the legendary --"
Having said this, Shanks suddenly raised his head and said without any surprise, "Sun God! Nika!"
The third update ends today and will continue tomorrow.
