The moment Shamrock emerged from the black flames, he was immediately recognized by everyone present!
Shanks has been Four Emperors for over a decade, the longest he's ever stood at the pinnacle of the New World. There's no one he doesn't know, let alone the people here – they're either pirates or Marines who deal with pirates!
Even the Revolutionary Army wouldn't ignore the Four Emperors of the New World, so there wasn't a single person at the scene who didn't recognize that face!
The pirates who gathered around immediately started talking about it; all they knew was that Shanks was a powerful and legendary figure!
A few people have encountered the Red Hair Pirates during their adventures, only catching glimpses of them from afar. To say they know Shanks that much is not necessarily true!
But when they saw Shanks' familiar face, appearing in such a strange way and standing on the side of the Five Elders, their desire to discuss and share surged!
For example, the pirate who claimed to have seen Shanks' arm healed immediately received a lot of praise from other pirates!
Seeing this, naturally more pirates shared their stories with Shanks, but most of them Yamato and boasted, exaggerating Shanks ' strength to make themselves seem incredibly awesome!
" Shamrock! It's you, isn't it? You're one of those twins from God Valley!"
Back then, I was just a new recruit in the Navy, weak and lacking in medical skills. I couldn't keep you here, nor could I save your mother, and you were taken to that filthy place, Mary Geoise!
Every time I think about this, I feel incredibly regretful and guilty. I wish I had been stronger back then. It's especially painful seeing Shanks ' achievements. I'm really afraid the Celestial Dragons will destroy you!
When Dragon appeared, long-forgotten memories overwhelmed Drag once again Shamrock. Because of Shanks, he recognized Shamrock at a glance, knowing that this was the other twin entrusted to him by the critically injured and dying Red-Hair woman years ago!
Because Shanks ' name was given to him by that Red-Hair woman, and he also knew the other child's name, Shamrock. However, back then, he was just a new recruit who had only recently joined the Navy, and his strength wasn't that great. Taking Shanks away from Garling was already his limit!
In the end Shamrock fell into Garling's hands. While talking to Shamrock, Dragon kept glancing at Garling!
"Shut up! That woman is dead, so be it. She was a lowly mortal, nothing to regret!"
As for failing to stop me? I should thank you! It's all thanks to your weakness back then that you couldn't stop me. Otherwise, I would have become a lowly mortal, just like Red-Haired Shanks, who made a name for himself on the seas.
If you were to say you wanted to destroy me, it would be because you wanted to keep me in the lower realm. Unfortunately, you were too weak; you couldn't keep me here even if you wanted to. This is fate!
Shamrock wasn't entirely unaware of his origins. During his childhood, he was indeed unaware of his parentage, but it wasn't until his father, Garling, brought Shanks back to the Holy Land from the lower realm that he learned he had a twin brother who looked exactly like him!
He didn't like his younger brother who came from the lower realm at all. Just like other Celestial Dragons looked down on people from the lower realm, he had also been Assimilation by the Celestial Dragons ' superiority, after all, he had lived in such a group since childhood!
However, the sudden appearance of a twin brother from the mortal realm was always a thorn in his side. Because of this, he was often ridiculed by other Celestial Dragons, so he became concerned about his origins!
Later, as he grew older and stronger, he had access to more resources and learned more about his background and what happened in God Valley!
He knew that he was someone his father, Garling, had snatched from a Navy recruit years ago, and he had also found out the recruit's identity. However, by the time he found out, the recruit had already left the Navy and even formed his own organization to oppose the Celestial Dragons!
"You...! That's your mother, your own mother!"
Even as she was critically injured and on the verge of death, she begged me to take you two brothers away. She would rather die than have you taken to that filthy place, and this is how you treat your own mother?
Mary Geoise is indeed a cesspool, teeming with scum and degenerates. Even the purest child will turn into something worse than a pig or a dog if they go there!
Dragon was furious. He remembered the Red-Hair woman whose name he didn't even know, and the image of her pleading with him as she lay dying!
The woman leaned against the wall with difficulty. Her words were intermittent and weak, but they were so full of emotion that he could empathize with her!
She loved her child so much, more than her own life, and didn't want her child to become Celestial Dragons!
But the way her child was treating her now made Dragon feel sorry for the Red-Hair woman. If he had known it would turn out like this, he should have... Even if he had known, he probably wouldn't have hurt such a young child!
" Dragon! Don't meddle too much. That's my child. I can take him wherever I want. It's none of your business, as an outsider!"
If it weren't for your meddling back then, Shanks wouldn't have fallen into Roger's hands, and a powerful warrior of the Holy Knights would have been ruined by you!
He'd rather be Celestial Dragons, and it's you guys who instilled evil ideas in him! You and Roger both deserve to die!
The speaker was Saint Garling. Shanks and Shamrock were born from his union with a native woman from God Valley, and both children inherited their mother's red hair!
He was just playing around at the time; she was just a woman from the lower realms. How could he, a Celestial Dragons, and the most esteemed Celestial Dragons among them, possibly take it seriously?
Little did he know that the woman was pregnant with his child, which made him pay a little more attention. However, what he cared about was only his bloodline. He knew that his child would have great talent and could become a member of a powerful family!
It was during his time with the Red-Hair woman in God Valley that he discovered that Rocks, the most powerful and ferocious pirate at the time, had actually placed his wife and children on this island!
After he reported the matter, the Five Elders immediately decided to use God Valley as the venue for the triennial killing contest, in order to lure Rocks there and kill him!
When Garling saw that the number one treasure of the killing contest was the world's most beautiful woman, he decisively stabbed the Red-Hair woman in the back, because his wife had to be the world's most beautiful woman!
But many things changed afterward. The world's most beautiful woman was gone, and he lost one of his children. When he found the child more than ten years later, the child had taken the shape of Roger and was obsessed with freedom. How could he not be angry and furious?
Now, one of the culprits, Dragon, is still calling them animals and trash. How could he tolerate that? Even though he was beaten up by Sabo before, he now has the confidence to speak up, because his son brought the Holy Knights to support him!
" Garling! You truly are a pair of beasts, father and son. One of you killed his child's mother without batting an eye, and the other sneered at his own mother without the slightest emotional reaction. A race like yours should not exist in this world!"
