The Man Who Shocked the World!

"He went to Navy Headquarters so soon after fighting us?" Jack said. "Isn't this guy a bit too arrogant?"

Upon seeing the figure appear at Navy Headquarters, Jack's face immediately contorted with rage.

Is that bastard showing off his strength?

"They're certainly arrogant," Queen said with a serious expression. "However... I'm more curious about how they got to Navy Headquarters so quickly."

To reach the Navy Headquarters, these pirates from the New World first need to use a coating method to get to Fish-Man Island, and then use Fish-Man Island as a springboard to reach Paradise. Only in this way can they successfully reach their destination.

The problem is... coating takes time!

This time is absolutely crucial and cannot be wasted; otherwise, the coating may be damaged, and everyone on board will die!

'But why did the Red Hair Pirates arrive at Navy Headquarters so quickly?' Queen wondered.

Could it be that they used the World Government's special passage in Mary Geoise?

However, he dismissed the thought as soon as it crossed Queen mind, after all... the World Government could not tolerate Four Emperors getting close to Mary Geoise!

'That must be some special method Red Hair Shanks used,' Queen thought to himself.

For example, they might have encountered a special Devil Fruit User, or their pirate ship might have been equipped with something that allows them to pass through the Calm Belt.

Well, there are only these two possibilities.

"Perhaps we encountered some special Devil Fruit User," King said.

This ocean is so vast, it's possible for any kind of Devil Fruit User to appear, isn't it?

"Yes, that makes sense," Queen nodded.

Queen then turned his attention to Shanks, intending to see what the guy would do next.

"Um?"

That is...

Buggy stared at Shanks for a while, then looked surprised and said, "Shanks?"

Shanks?

Upon hearing Buggy's words, Mr. 3 instinctively looked towards Shanks, then exclaimed in shock, "Is that guy the legendary Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks?"

This was the first time he had ever seen her in person.

"Legend?"

Buggy paused for a moment, then gave a disgusted look and said, "Him?"

"Does he even deserve to be called a legend?"

Even if he were one of the Four Emperors, and even if this guy became the King of the World, he would still look down on this bastard!

Mr. 3:...

No, isn't your reaction a little off?

Ignoring Mr. 3's reaction, Buggy stared intently at Shanks and said, "Hmph, I didn't expect this bastard to dare show his face in front of me again."

As if he had just thought of something, Buggy revealed a gritted-teeth expression, and then quickly flew towards Shanks.

This scene completely stunned the underlings behind him.

"What is Captain Buggy going to do?"

"I... I don't know..."

Mr. 3 sighed upon hearing this, then said, "Your Captain Buggy went to catch up with Shanks."

"Huh?!"

"Is that really how it is?!"

"As expected of Captain Buggy!"

"Profound!"

Watching Buggy's departing figure, the eyes of these henchmen began to gleam.

Mr. 3 shook his head at the sight.

"Um?"

Shanks was about to say something more, paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Buggy, who was rushing over.

"Hey, isn't this Buggy!" Shanks said with a smile. "It's been a long time!"

"Ah, it's been so long..."

Buggy paused before blurting out those words, then opened his shark-like mouth and roared, "Damn it, who wants to see you!"

"Have you forgotten the grudge we have against each other?!"

"Shanks!!"

As they were talking, Buggy grabbed Shanks by the collar with both hands and pressed his nose directly against Shanks ' face!

"A grudge?" Shanks tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "What are you talking about, Buggy?"

Buggy:...

"Damn it, you dare say you didn't know!" Buggy said angrily, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost the treasure map, and I wouldn't have become this damned Devil Fruit User!"

"It's all because of you..."

"It's all because of you, you bastard!!"

By the end, Buggy was so angry that tears streamed down his face.

"I'm so incredibly unlucky to be in the same boat as you!" Buggy shouted.

"Is that so?"

Buggy:???

"Damn it, that reaction again!" Buggy roared, opening his shark mouth once more. "You've been like this since you were a kid!"

"That's exactly what I hate about you!"

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, Buggy." Shanks said with a helpless expression, "I'm here to stop this war, I don't have time to play your nonsense."

"Ha?"

Buggy paused for a moment, then said angrily, "You actually think I'm being unreasonable?"

"You're the reason I can't swim anymore, you bastard!"

Seeing Shanks still wearing that expression, Buggy's face contorted with rage, and he roared, "You bastard, you think I won't fight you right now?!"

"Ah?!"

"I don't care about war!"

"You..."

Buggy, who showed no fear of Shanks whatsoever, left his underlings dumbfounded.

"How could he talk to Red Hair Shanks like that..."

"As expected of Captain Buggy!!"

"Captain Buggy, we'll follow you for life!"

As expected of their Captain Buggy... he's practically a living legend!

"It seems the Navy was telling the truth."

Staring at Shanks yelling at Buggy, Mr. 3 said, "This guy really is Shanks ' Sworn brothers..."

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't dare to speak to the Four Emperors like that.

"Wait, is Clown Buggy really that bold?" The reporters from Sabaody Archipelago exclaimed in shock upon witnessing this scene. "Why does he dare to yell at Red-Haired Shanks?"

"Didn't he just say he's on the same side as Red Hair Shanks?"

"Hiss... I remember Clown Buggy once said he was a member of the Pirate King's crew, right?"

"So... he and Red Hair Shanks were both on the Pirate King's ship?"

"No wonder this guy dared to insult Shanks like that..."

Now they understand why Clown Buggy was so bold; it turns out they were both crew members of the Pirate King before!

"Are they both crew members of the Pirate King?" Capone Bege stared at Buggy's face with a serious expression. "No wonder this guy dares to talk to Shanks like that."

If that's the case... then this guy named Clown Buggy is no weaker than Shanks, right?

Thinking of this, Capone Becky's expression became even more serious.

'Should I try assassinating this guy?' Capone Becky murmured to himself.

After thinking about it for a moment, Capone Becky gave up on the idea, after all... he didn't know how strong that guy was.

"No wonder this guy dared to broadcast this war live," Apoo swallowed and said, "He's a truly terrifying man."

Not only is he a member of the Pirate King's crew, but he's also the brother of Four Emperors —Red-Haired Shanks...

That's terrifying!

'Maybe this guy will be the next Four Emperors,' Apoo murmured to himself.

"Clown Buggy?"

Hawkins stared at Clown Buggy for a while, then subconsciously took out his cards and began to calculate.

Then, with a grave expression, he said, "The survival rate is so low..."

It seems this Buggy is stronger than he thought.

"And who are you to ask?" Apoo asked curiously.

"It's just to see what my chances of survival are against this man," Hawkins said.

After saying that, the man began to pack up the cards.

"Considering his chances of survival," Apoo thought for a moment and said, "Do you think... there's a possibility that you won't even see his face?"

Upon hearing this, Hawkins paused in his action of tidying up the cards.

'Can't we meet?'

Could that guy possibly become Four Emperors?

Thinking about this, Hawkins fell into deep thought.

"Hehehe, it seems this sea is about to get lively," Moria said with a loud laugh.

"Captain, why do you say that?" Absalom asked curiously.

"Because of this guy named Clown Buggy," Moria said, pointing to Buggy who was still cursing Shanks, "Who knows, he might become the next Four Emperors."

"A new Four Emperors?"

After staring at Buggy for a while, Absalom fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he murmured, "It's not impossible."

The other party is not only a member of the Pirate King's crew, but also Shanks ' brother!

Such a person... is definitely an extremely powerful being!

Thinking of this, Absalom's expression turned serious.

"Captain, you have a rival now," Absalom said.

"Hehehe, isn't this more interesting?" Moria laughed.

Although his target has always been Kaido, he wouldn't back down if he clashed with this Clown Buggy!

Looking at the confident Moria, Absalom paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's true."

Their captain is also an extremely powerful being, so... there's no need to fear them!

'But in order to help the captain, I also need to continue to become stronger,' Absalom murmured to himself.

With this in mind, Absalom became even more convinced of his previous idea.

He needs to practice even more!

"What a nostalgic scene!"

Looking at Buggy arguing with Shanks on the screen, a look of reminiscence appeared on Rayleigh's face.

These two guys loved to fight when they were little, and I didn't expect them to still be like this as adults.

'Unbeknownst to me... so many years have passed.' Rayleigh thought to himself.

Upon hearing Rayleigh's words, Shakky smiled and said, "They have such a good relationship."

To be able to talk to Shanks like that without getting beaten to death... that's enough to show how good their relationship is.

"Hahaha, their relationship is indeed very good," Rayleigh laughed loudly.

"Rayleigh, do you think... is it possible that Buggy is deliberately hiding his true abilities?" Shakky asked, tapping her cigarette ash.

"I don't know about that," Rayleigh said, shrugging. "After all, I haven't seen that kid in decades."

He didn't know whether the kid had genuinely gotten worse or was deliberately hiding his skills.

Shakky paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "How did he compare to Shanks when he was a child?"

"Before he ate that Devil Fruit, he was only slightly weaker than Shanks," Rayleigh said.

"Devil Fruit?"

"Yes, Devil Fruit."

As if he had thought of something, Rayleigh's eyes gradually became complicated.

'Why...'

"You damn Shanks, are you even listening to me?" Buggy grabbed Shanks ' face and said, "I'm cursing you, so listen to me properly!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry."

Buggy:???

What's with this childish tone, you jerk!

Before Buggy could say anything more, Shanks turned and walked away, giving Buggy no chance to continue speaking.

"That despicable bastard, how dare he..."

Buggy paused before he could finish speaking, then, as if struck by a thought, stroked his chin and said, "Wait... this seems like an opportunity."

While Shanks is indeed a complete scoundrel, he certainly has a certain intimidating presence.

As long as you're with this guy... you'll definitely be able to leave this island safely!

Thinking of this, Buggy grinned.

"Hahahaha!"

"I'm truly a genius!!"

Mr.3:???

What's this guy thinking of now?

Watching Buggy laugh wildly, Mr. 3 fell into deep thought.

"You must be the Blood-Eyed Ninja," Shanks said as he approached Xi Yan. "Luffy's crewmate."

"Ah, that's right, it's me." Xi Yan nodded and said, "I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Luffy alright?" Shanks asked.

His Observation Haki detected Luffy's presence, but the presence seemed somewhat weak, so he worried that the other party might be seriously injured.

"Don't worry, he's just exhausted," Xi Yan said. "A good night's sleep should do the trick."

"That's good." Shanks said with a sigh of relief.

It's good that Luffy is alright.

"Aren't you going to see Luffy?" Xi Yan said. "That guy's been talking about you for ages."

"Shall we meet...?"

Looking back at the Luffy ship where Luffy was, Shanks ' eyes filled with reminiscence.

'Ten years have passed without me even realizing it,' Shanks murmured to himself.

"Um?"

Looking at Shanks, who seemed to be recalling something, Xi Yan's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

Should we go or not?

After regaining his senses and noticing Xi Yan's gaze, Shanks smiled and said, "Although I really want to see Luffy right now, but... that would be different from what we agreed on."

His original promise to Luffy was that he would personally return the hat to Luffy after Luffy became a capable pirate.

But now... it's clearly not the right time.

"An agreement..." Xi Yan nodded upon hearing this, "I understand."

It seems we'll have to wait until Luffy becomes a powerful and influential pirate before we can meet this guy.
