The area of influence of the Red Hair Pirates, Four Emperors.
The island was cleaved in two by a deep abyss, connecting it to the sea, and eventually filled with seawater, forming a river that flows into the ocean.
Meanwhile, on one side of the river, in a wide-open meadow, Uya sat with a wine glass in her hand.
Across from Uya, Red-Haired Shanks, was sitting there without any regard for his image, holding a drink and chatting while laughing.
The other members of the Red Hair Pirates were gathered on the other side.
Although Uya sat on the grass without any grace, he still exuded a faint aura of nobility, much stronger than Hawk-Eye's, as if he were above everything else, making people only able to look up to him.
Shanks showed no fear of Uya, even though Uya's power was enough to kill him instantly, or even wipe out the entire Red Hair Pirates.
Uya didn't object to this.
After all, Uya had fantasized about coming to this world countless times in his previous life, and he did indeed come here, but his route was a bit off. He first experienced the rise of the Hokage world, and then descended into this world with an attitude that was superior to this world.
As his power and status increased, Uya gradually became indifferent and uncaring towards ordinary people, but he still had some interest in people like Shanks and Hawk-Eye who existed in his memories.
Although Uya is now almost a god-like being, Uya heart is not entirely divine; he still retains some unchanging human emotions, which Uya does not reject.
Because if one were to constantly despise everything and destroy a world with a wave of the hand, it would seem far too boring and lonely.
After downing the wine in his glass in one gulp, Uya stood up and gently straightened his slightly wrinkled white robe.
"Are you leaving?" Shanks stood up as well.
"Mm." Uya nodded.
Shanks took a deep breath, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, then a determination that seemed to solidify, and said to Uya in a deep voice, "We're going to Whitebeard's place, aren't we..."
"That's right."
Uya said casually. Although he had already obtained what he wanted, since he had already said he would visit the Four Emperors, he might as well visit them one by one. For Uya, it was just a way to pass the time.
Shanks looked at Uya and said in a deep voice, "Your power is very, very strong. Although I don't know how you obtained such power, almost no one can stand against you, so... I hope you won't destroy the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Why?"
Uya looked calmly at Shanks and said in a low voice.
Shanks stared directly at Uya, his gaze unwavering, and said, "After you defeated the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, the world was already in great turmoil. If you destroy the Whitebeard Pirates as well, the world will be plunged into complete war."
" The Whitebeard Pirates have far more protected islands and influence than the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates. Once he falls, the world will descend into complete chaos."
Shanks doesn't care about the title of Pirate King because he was a member of Roger Pirates and knows almost all the secrets. He just doesn't want to see the world descend into chaos.
In the original story, he tried to stop Ace from pursuing Blackbeard and to prevent the final battle between Whitebeard and the Marines. Now, he is trying to prevent Uya from clashing with Whitebeard.
"I see... But what does that have to do with me?"
Uya looked calmly at Shanks, a hint of indifference in his expression, and said, "Do you think I would care what the world becomes?"
"As expected, there was no way to stop you."
Hearing Uya's words, Shanks shook his head with a wry smile, brought the glass in his hand to his lips, and drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp. He said, "The gears of the world are breaking down, and anything can happen. Perhaps all those legendary Ancient Weapons will be unearthed."
"At that point, even you might not be able to stop the gears from breaking down, or stop the world from descending into chaos."
Shanks is still trying to prevent a clash between Uya and Whitebeard.
Upon hearing this, Uya suddenly chuckled, a smile revealing disdain and indifference, and said, " Ancient Weapons, are they really that powerful?"
After saying a few words, Uya turned around, took a step, and suddenly became Intangibility before disappearing from sight.
Uya's words surprised Shanks slightly, and he couldn't help but mutter, "He doesn't even care about the power of the Ancient Weapons? Could I have guessed wrong?!"
Almost every faction in this world associates Uya's power with the Ancient Weapons. Even Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors and who has even reached Laugh Tale, believes the same thing, because it is almost impossible for a human to possess such power.
Therefore, Shanks tried to warn Uya that if he disrupted the world's order, all the Ancient Weapons would appear, hoping to make Uya back down.
However, even when he mentioned Ancient Weapons, Uya's attitude did not change in the slightest. He remained indifferent to everything from beginning to end, as if he didn't care about Ancient Weapons at all.
Shanks, who thought he had some understanding of Uya, suddenly felt that Uya was shrouded in a deep fog, making it difficult for him to see through him.
Just as Shanks was filled with doubt and confusion, the Red Hair Pirates, Ben Beckman, walked up to him.
"Perhaps his power doesn't originate from Ancient Weapons... In any case, you can't stop him. I can't see through this person."
Beckman shook his head, gazing in the direction where Uya had disappeared, his eyes revealing a hint of wisdom and profundity, as well as a deep sense of apprehension.
Even if it were a Marine Admiral, Beckman could remain calm. Even if it were the other Four Emperors or even Whitebeard, he would not panic or lose his composure, because he was the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates and his intelligence was among the best in the world.
However, when he faced Uya, he felt that Uya was shrouded in a fog that he could never see through, and this fog also made him feel a little afraid.
It's like, if Uya's secret were to be revealed, it would be enough to overturn the entire world!
"Can't even you see through it?"
Shanks couldn't help but take a deep breath upon hearing Beckman's words. He knew very well how resourceful Beckman was, being his first mate.
Beckman's role in enabling him to ascend to the position of Four Emperors cannot be ignored.
Beckman took a puff of his cigar, flicked off the ash, and said, "I don't even know why he went easy on you before... This guy does everything according to his own whims. Even if the World Government offends him, he might just storm the Holy Land the next moment!"
"You're right."
Shanks recalled the overwhelming, all- Conqueror's Haki he had sensed from Uya earlier, and nodded with utmost seriousness and solemnity.
This sea is not lacking in hotheads who act on impulse, but most of them are newcomers from the first half of the Grand Line. After arriving in the New World in the second half, they will obediently behave themselves after crashing and burning their heads against the Four Emperors.
Uya is different.
Uya possesses power that is almost unbelievably strong, so strong that even Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, feels his own insignificance!
A person who possesses absolute power, acts solely on whims, and is unfathomable to anyone is undoubtedly the most terrifying existence! (To be continued.)
