Not only did they set off, but even Doflamingo, lurking in the shadows, turned solemn and hurried over.
"Two powerful bursts of Conqueror's Haki clashing? I'd like to see just who's being so brazen!"
Tonight's eruption would definitely become a large-scale conflict.
Whether Roy fought the Red Hair Pirates or not, he had nothing to lose.
Not only that, but the Red Hair Pirates, far away in Area 55, also noticed the disturbance.

Staying here was therefore the safest option.
But Shanks didn't know that,
