"At this point, the arrival of any top-tier expert could cause the situation to spiral completely out of control."
I hope you'll behave yourself for now.
"Stop attacking the Navy and the World Government."
"And do not actively stir up the New World."
As soon as she finished speaking, Perona frowned.
Robin also looked at Shanks.
The Red Hair Pirates took the initiative to seek out Uchiha Xin.
They then led their entire force to seal off the island.
They are now demanding that Uchiha Xin cease his actions.
This is no longer ordinary persuasion.
Uchiha Xin looked at Shanks.
Are you ordering me around?
"It's not an order."
Shanks said:
"Just advice."
You have proven your strength.
"While the Navy's designation of you as Four Emperors and One Emperor may contain an element of flattery, it also demonstrates that you are qualified to stand at the top of the sea."
That's why your every move affects countless people.
Some things cannot be decided solely based on personal preference.
The smile on Uchiha Xin's face vanished.
Shanks.
"Aren't you taking yourself too seriously?"
The Red Hair Pirates changed drastically.
A crew member gripped the handle of his knife.
The other person had already taken half a step forward.
Yasopp raised his gun slightly as well.
Lucky Rue stared at Uchiha Xin.
"What did you say?"
Beckman raised his hand to stop the crowd.
"Don't move."
He kept his eyes on Uchiha Xin.
The opponent did not unleash any Haki.
No lightning was emitted.
But that oppressive force had already settled over the entire ship.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the gap between you.
Beckman even had a feeling.
If someone had fired the first shot, Uchiha Xin would not have been the first to die.
Shanks was not angered by those words.
He just sighed.
"It seems the rumors were true."
"Your ambitions are indeed very great."
Uchiha Xin said coldly:
"I don't need the Four Emperors' permission to do things."
"What kind of balance of the ocean you want to maintain is your business."
Don't try to impose your ideas on me.
" Red-Haired hair is useless against me."
"If you dare to interfere again, I wouldn't mind eliminating one of the Four Emperors."
All weapons on the deck were raised simultaneously.
"Presumptuous!"
"This is the Red Hair Pirates!"
"Don't think you can threaten the captain just because you killed the Golden Lion!"
The officials did not shout.
However, his body was already in battle mode.
Yasopp aims at Uchiha Xin.
Raki Lu lowered his center of gravity.
Beckman gripped the gun handle firmly.
Only Shanks remained standing in the same spot.
"All of you, step back."
The crew did not do so immediately.
Shanks spoke again.
I said, "Step back."
Everyone then stopped moving.
The muzzle of the gun was not lowered completely.
Shanks looked at Uchiha Xin.
"If it were a different era, I might be happy to see you rise to prominence."
This vast ocean needs new talent.
"Someone also needs to break the old rules."
"Too bad not now."
Uchiha Xin did not respond.
Shanks continued:
"The situation is now settled."
Some things have to happen at the right time.
"If you continue to act recklessly, many preparations will become meaningless."
"It will also lead this era in the wrong direction."
Impatience was all that remained in Uchiha Xin's eyes.
"Definite number?"
"The right time?"
" Shanks, you don't really think you can decide how this era should go, do you?"
Shanks gripped the hilt of his sword.
I don't have that right.
But I will stop what shouldn't happen.
Uchiha Xin walked down from the high place.
With each step forward, the pressure on the deck increased.
The surrounding crew members gripped their weapons, the veins on the backs of their hands bulging.
No one dared to make a move easily.
Perona carried Kumashi and flew to Robin's side.
He's about to make his move.
Robin nodded slightly.
They did not try to stop them.
From the moment Shanks demanded that Uchiha Xin behave himself, this conflict was already unavoidable.
Uchiha Xin approached Shanks.
I don't believe in destiny.
I don't believe in your so-called "arrangement of time."
"If you want to stop me, use your strength."
Shanks looked at Uchiha Xin, who was right in front of him.
I don't want to fight you.
"But you think you can win me over."
Uchiha Xin exposed him directly.
"The entire Red Hair Pirates are present."
" Hawk Eyes challenges me; you lend me the island."
"The entire sea area has been blockaded by your ship."
"Now you're standing here trying to persuade me to stop."
"If you really weren't prepared to take action, why bring so many people?"
Shanks fell silent.
He did indeed prepare for the worst.
If Uchiha Xin's goal causes the entire ocean to spiral out of control prematurely, he will intervene to stop it.
Even if the opponent killed the Golden Lion.
Even if the battle comes at a price for the Red Hair Pirates.
He still believed that he could suppress this newly risen Thunder Emperor.
Uchiha Xin had already gotten the answer from his silence.
"Really."
You think you can win?
Just as Shanks was about to speak, the power within Uchiha Xin erupted.
boom!
The Red Fosse suddenly sank downwards.
The sea surface exploded in all directions.
The deck groaned under the strain.
Several of the weaker crew members' legs buckled and they collapsed to their knees.
Yasopp' breath hitched.
The casualness on Raki Lu's face vanished completely.
Beckman drew his gun instantly.
But Uchiha Xin was no longer there.
Shanks ' Observation Haki is on full alert.
He didn't have time to draw his sword, so he could only raise his right arm.
Advanced Armament Haki instantly covered his arm.
A dark, Haki flowed outwards, forming a layer of defense.
The next moment, Uchiha Xin appeared in front of him.
He kicked it out.
There was no lightning.
There was no sword energy.
All that remains is pure power.
Bang!
Shanks ' arm had just blocked the kick when the Armament Haki covering it vibrated violently.
The flowing, Haki was directly suppressed.
The bones in his arm creaked as if they were about to break under the strain.
The deck beneath Shanks' feet exploded instantly.
He wanted to divert his power elsewhere.
There's simply not enough time.
Uchiha Xin's kick directly overwhelmed his Advanced Armament Haki.
Shanks left the deck, becoming a blur as he flew out of the Red Fox.
Hundreds of meters.
Over a thousand meters.
His body skimmed across the sea, creating a white wave.
Finally, it crashed heavily into the distant sea.
boom!
The seawater surged hundreds of meters high.
Shanks vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.
"Captain!"
Shanks!
"How is that possible!"
The entire Red Hair Pirates were shocked.
Yasopp held the gun, but didn't pull the trigger for a long time.
Raki Lu stared intently at the distant sea.
He didn't even see how Shanks was kicked away.
One kick.
Just one kick.
Shanks, whose face was covered in Advanced Armament Haki, was kicked over a thousand meters away.
Beckman reacted the fastest.
The gun barrel locked onto Uchiha Xin the instant Shanks was thrown away.
Bang!
Gunshots rang out.
Haki barrage of bullets pierced the deck.
Uchiha Xin's figure had vanished into thin air.
The bullets missed everything.
Beckman's Observation Haki rapidly expanded.
There wasn't one on the ship.
There was none in the air either.
