The Sky Has Split Open Again and Again!

A Big Trophy leaped out of the void.

[Moonlight Trophy: Red-Haired Shanks

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★★]

The Eight-Star Big Trophy is beautiful and dazzling, seemingly radiating a moonlit white glow.

Storm was slightly taken aback when he saw the Eight-Star [Moonlight Trophy] that suddenly appeared before him.

Seriously? Is the Red-Haired really that fragile?

Storm originally thought that Shanks' physical abilities, even if they couldn't compare to monsters like Charlotte Linlin or Beasts Kaido, were at least mid-level among the "Kings".

Putting everything else aside...

Its "durability" attribute is absolutely maxed out!

If you can't take a beating and can't do sit-ups, what kind of Pirate Emperor are you?

But Storm never expected was...

With just one kick, he created an Eight-Star Big Trophy.

Was it because Storm's kick just now landed directly on Shanks' face?

The legendary Devil Fruit User was kicked in the face, causing him to collapse and not get up?

Storm frowned, recalling Shanks' past achievements, and suddenly realized something.

Shanks' physique.

It's probably, maybe, it does seem to be "fragile" than Storm had anticipated!

Years ago, Shanks fought Blackbeard Teach and nearly lost his left eye to Blackbeard Teach.

Even so.

Blackbeard Teach still left an indelible mark on Shanks.

Then came the renowned "Near Sea King".

An ordinary, small Sea King from the East Blue was able to bite off Shanks' arm in one bite!

Storm couldn't imagine any other Pirate Emperor having their arms bitten off by Sea King.

Charlotte Linlin?

Storm thought it was normal for Big Mom to turn around and kill Sea King.

Beasts Kaido?

Even if this "Beasts" stood still and let a pirate with a bounty of 1.5 billion Beli attack it, the pirate wouldn't be able to break through its defenses!

Whitebeard?

Whitebeard could instinctively defeat a night raid by Great Pirate with a bounty of 500 million Beli while he was sleeping.

Of all the Pirate Emperor, Shanks is the only one with a relatively fragile physique!

"Tsk, boring."

Storm shook his head regretfully.

His golden eyes then turned to the rest of the people on the field.

After being ravaged by a series of battles.

Island 66 in the Sabaody Archipelago was almost completely destroyed, and the Marine Branch base there was also in a state of chaos.

Currently, those who remain conscious within the Marine Branch base are primarily "elite figures."

Storm's golden eyes swept across the entire arena, and an invisible, heavy atmosphere permeated the space.

The battle between the Red Dragon and the Red-Haired ended with unimaginable speed.

Everyone else present instinctively stopped what they were doing.

Whether it's the navy or pirates.

It even includes Morgans, the Big News Bird who just entered the Marine Branch base with Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi.

Everyone present focused their attention on the red dragon.

To be honest.

Whether it's the Navy, the Shichibukai, or the Red-Haired Pirates.

No one knew the true intentions of this inexplicably appearing "red dragon".

All people know is that this "Red Dragon" is a terrifying figure who is both lawless and incredibly powerful!

Red-Haired Dragon has just defeated Shanks, who came to stop Pluton Rayleigh's Execution Incident.

The navy was unsure how to approach the Red Dragon.

After all, no matter what.

Although the other party was a bit arrogant and their strength was terrifying...

However, the other party is indeed a "newcomer to the sea" who has never shown his face before, and at the same time, the other party has not offered any reward amount!

Such individuals are not within the Navy's jurisdiction.

As for the Red-Haired Pirates...

They did want to launch an attack on the Red Dragon to avenge their Captain.

If Ben Beckman hadn't stopped his companions in time...

Storm's gaze swept over the marines one by one, finally settling on the members of the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Ben Beckman."

Storm extended his right hand toward the group of pirates and beckoned with his finger.

"Give me Pluton Rayleigh."

"Red Dragon..."

Ben Beckman gripped the short flintlock pistol in his hand.

He was about to say something.

At this moment, Kizaru suddenly intervened in the conversation.

"The Red Dragon Emperor."

As long as he doesn't fight Red-Haired or Red Dragon, the rest of the battles are just relaxing and easy for Kizaru.

Therefore, Kizaru, who had been slacking off, clearly heard Morgans refer to Storm.

Red Dragon Emperor.

Even Kizaru had to admit that the title was very fitting for this "red dragon" that descended from the sky.

The only difference was that the other person had a face exactly like Vongola Storm.

This made Kizaru feel somewhat awkward.

But the Red Dragon Emperor's golden eyes swept over.

Kizaru suppressed the slight awkwardness in his heart and continued speaking.

"Pluton Rayleigh is a prisoner of the Navy~"

Kizaru's implication was that the Red Dragon Emperor should not antagonize the Navy!

However, Storm was concerned about something else entirely.

"The Red Dragon Emperor?"

Storm's golden eyes fixed on the Admiral, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Kizaru-- "

"Don't waste your breath on him, Borsalino!"

A stern voice interrupted Storm.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who had just left the battlefield and was gathering the unconscious and injured marines, slowly walked to Kizaru's side.

"The Red Dragon Emperor is nothing but a lawless villain!"

The Sengoku's body slowly expanded, transforming into a majestic and imposing Golden Great Buddha. His dark golden eyes stared directly at the Crimson Dragon as he calmly gave his orders.

"I'll deal with Red Dragon! You go and take care of the remnants of the Red-Haired Pirates! Be quick!"

After uttering those words, Sengoku stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

[Shave]!

Even after being away from the front lines of battle for many years, the Sengoku was still the same Sengoku, possessing all the strength and experience, only slightly diminished from its peak.

However, at this moment, Sengoku still skillfully executed [Shave].

The Golden Great Buddha charged directly at the red dragon with an agility that was completely disproportionate to its enormous size.

With a slight thought, Sengoku unleashed both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki from his body, wrapping around his large, golden Buddha Form -shaped fist.

The next moment.

The Buddha Form's heavy fist, imbued with [Haki], tore through the air and slammed into the red dragon.

When Storm saw that Sengoku had taken the initiative to fight, he abandoned his idea of explaining.

I finally found an opportunity to beat up my boss.

Don't miss it!

Storm further unleashed the power of the [Red Dragon Fruit], deepening the dragonification of his body and causing his size to swell accordingly.

Although it's not quite as tall as a giant Buddha Form statue, tens of meters high, like those from the Sengoku.

However, it is still significantly higher than before.

Storm clenched his right fist, simultaneously imbuing it with Armament Haki, and charged forward at the Buddha Form without flinching.

Two fists of different sizes collided violently, like two terrifying bombs.

Boom!!

A terrifying, deafening roar erupted, sounding like a thunderclap from a clear sky over Island 66 of the Sabaody Archipelago, making the eardrums of ordinary people buzz.

The sky over the Sabaody Archipelago split open once again!

After a brief stalemate, Storm and Sengoku began a new round of intense exchanges.

Red Dragon and Buddha Form, two "martial arts" fighters who excel at fighting with their fists, engaged in a brutal, hand-to-hand combat on the ruined Island 66.

Boom boom boom--

The deafening roar that seemed to pierce the clouds and split rocks continued to erupt.

The white shockwave transformed into concentric shockwaves, surging wildly outwards.

In this chaotic battle environment.

Kizaru transformed into a flash of light, approaching the other members of the Red-Haired Pirates at incredible speed.

"Kizaru, don't move!"

Ben Beckman gripped his flintlock pistol, the dark muzzle pointed directly at Kizaru's head.

But the orders from the Fleet Admiral Sengoku had already been issued.

Kizaru had no intention of playing the "surrender" card with Ben Beckman.

Seeing that Kizaru remained unmoved, Ben Beckman's eyes flashed with a sharp red light, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bullet Penetration!"

Bang!

A dazzling flash of light erupted from Ben Beckman's gun as a bullet, wreathed in jet-black Armament Haki, shot out with unparalleled accuracy towards the rapidly moving Kizaru.

Kizaru didn't want to take Ben Beckman's Armament Haki bullet head-on.

He deftly twisted his body in mid-air, attempting to change direction and approach the Red-Haired Pirates.

But just then, another gunshot rang out.

Bang!

The bullets, still imbued with Armament Haki, flew through the air.

It was as if it had a premonition, directly discerning Kizaru's movement trajectory.

The bullet struck right in front of a Marine Headquarters Admiral the moment Kizaru revealed himself.

Kizaru instinctively turned his head.

The Armament Haki bullet grazed his ear, leaving a shallow scar on his cheek.

Bright red blood flowed from the wound on Kizaru's cheek.

Kizaru ignored the wound on his face; he simply squinted at Ben Beckman.

"Future Sight Observation Haki the future!"

According to the intelligence held by the Navy.

Ben Beckman, the First Mate of the Red-Haired Pirates, is not only highly intelligent but also possesses strength comparable to that of their Captain Shanks.

Kizaru initially thought it was just a rumor spread by pirates in the New World.

After all, if the Red-Haired Pirates had two such powerful "Captain"...

Then there shouldn't be four Pirate Emperors in the New World!

However, Ben Beckman's attack at this moment did leave a deep impression on Kizaru.

Leaving aside other issues...

Ben Beckman's level of Observation Haki has indeed reached the top level of the ocean!

Kizaru sighed.

"This is getting a bit troublesome."

Thank you very much to [Yun Deng Mu tide] for the 1,500 starting coin reward!!

Served at dawn!

Goodnight everyone!

Yes, good morning too.
