The battle of the dragons combines strength and gentleness, yin and yang, forming a unique formation.
The shockwaves emanating from the dragon's body spread outwards, creating a terrifying Vibration Domain.
Within the area, the entire battlefield was distorted.
The entire battlefield seemed to be stuck in a huge quagmire.
Ordinary people would be unable to move in such a field and would be directly killed by the ensuing dragon sword energy.
But Shanks always seems to find the weakest point in the domain, tearing a hole in it with his sword and navigating the dragon's strangulation.
It deftly evaded the Dragon Battles in the Wild's attack and simultaneously launched an attack on Zesi.
Instantly, the double-edged swords clashed, exchanging blows.
Like a ghostly phantom.
It was like a shimmering, flowing light.
As the battle intensified...
The students watching from all around were completely dumbfounded.
They couldn't see the two figures moving at all.
All that could be seen was the constant clashing of swords in the air.
Sword energy crisscrossed the battlefield.
The ground was torn apart by the sword energy, and the rocks were shattered by it.
What kind of battle is this?
Can humans really become that terrifying?
Seeing such a fierce battle for the first time, everyone couldn't help but ask.
If the Azure Emperor is Devil Fruit User, and a terrifying one at that, the Tremor-Tremor Devil Fruit User, then he is the World's Strongest Person.
It's understandable that they possess such terrifying strength and power.
But what's wrong with Lord Shanks?
He was an ordinary person, and he didn't appear particularly strong.
He's not Devil Fruit User, so how could he possibly possess such terrifying power?!
Zesi and Shanks were just sparring; there was no real battle.
So they quickly stopped there.
Even so, the entire arena was completely unrecognizable.
"Very good, from today onwards you can handle things on your own. It seems I can confidently entrust this matter to you!"
After a fierce battle, Zesi said with a smile.
"What's wrong?" Shanks asked, puzzled.
Today was already quite unusual.
The mark;;?1 Zesi suddenly found himself and then brought him here.
They had a rather haphazard exchange of ideas.
Or perhaps it's more accurate to call it a test.
"The situation in the New World is tense right now. The World Government and Big Mom Kaido secretly allied. The day before yesterday, Big Mom seized our cargo ship under a pretext. This shipping is not only an important source of income for our Azure Emperor Pirates Azure Emperor Pirates, but it also represents our reputation in the New World. Therefore, I have had Easter Egg announce publicly that if Big Mom does not unconditionally release the cargo and crew within three days, the Azure Emperor Pirates will declare war on the Big Mom Pirates."
"I've heard about this too, but going to war with Big Mom in the current situation would probably be a losing proposition. If we go to war with Big Mom, Kaido and the World Government will likely get involved as well. Then we'll be facing the combined forces of Big Mom Kaido, and the World Government. Besides, there's Whitebeard in the New World. Although Whitebeard isn't the type to take advantage of others, he has so many pirate captains under his command now, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be misled and provoked by the World Government."
"Therefore, after declaring war on Big Mom this time, I will assign you to lead the First Division to attack the Big Mom Pirates!"
"Send me?" Shanks asked in surprise.
"That's right. The Azure Emperor Pirates only sent you alone. The World Government and the Beasts Pirates won't easily take action. You alone aren't worth the combined efforts of the World Government Beasts Pirates. I'll also have Bullet keep an eye on the Beasts Pirates, while I'll personally keep an eye on the World Government. If anyone from the World Government enters the New World, I'll make sure they all stay New World."
"This is indeed the best solution right now, but is it alright for me to be in charge of attacking the Big Mom Pirates?" Shanks asked hesitantly.
That's the oldest pirate crew in the New World, and one of the Four Emperors of the New World.
Although his strength has grown rapidly, he is still somewhat inferior to top-tier powerhouses like Big Mom.
"I'm not asking you to defeat Big Mom. You're the attackers. Big Mom Pirates's territory is so vast, you can do whatever you want with it. The most important thing is to hone your skills. Big Mom is the whetstone I've prepared for you. I want you to become stronger in this battle. If you want to become a force that can deter the Azure Emperor Pirates, you need the strength of one of the Four Emperors. Climb to the top by stepping on Big Mom's shoulders!" Zesi said.
Upon hearing Zesi's words, Shanks' eyes flashed, and he raised his head, exuding a powerful aura.
" Zesi, I understand. Leave Big Mom to me!" Shanks said. "Very good, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
The very next day, Shanks led the First Division and Fourth Division, along with ten thousand Death Army, away from the Hachinosu.
Zesi also sent a bear to assist Shanks.
Meanwhile, Bullet also left Hachinosu in the steel submarine that had been specially built for him.
Unlike Shanks, he went alone.
Bullet's abilities are suited for solo operations.
He possessed a steel submarine, which was more useful to him than anything else.
His mission was to hold off the Beasts Pirates.
He alone is enough.
As Shanks and Bullet left.
The Azure Emperor Pirates are now announcing this to the world!
The Big Mom Pirates' seizure of the Azure Emperor Pirates' cargo ship was seen as a provocation against the Azure Emperor Pirates.
The Azure Emperor Pirates have now officially declared war on Big Mom. "Is war really on?"
" The Azure Emperor Pirates would actually fight the Big Mom Pirates over a cargo ship! That's one of the Four Emperors of the New World!" " The Azure Emperor Pirates are indeed the toughest!" The news immediately caused an uproar throughout the New World.
