New World, the waters of the red-haired pirates.

It is a small island rich in natural resources, densely forested and full of birds and animals, and it is a rare and fertile island that has not been subjected to human intervention.

At the same time, because the beasts on the island are too dangerous, not many people want to live here, and the population has not been able to develop. This also laid the foundation for the island to retain such a beautiful environment, of course, more because of the order of the red hair.

"Protect this place, and the banquet will be held here!"

So said the redhead who landed on the island for the first time.

Even if he has a bold and generous personality, he is often very idle in terms of clothing and attitude, and he is fascinated by the scenery of the island at first sight.

And as one of the Four Emperors of the New World, the supernovas who have to do a lot of things every year are not yet his turn to do it himself. With enough free time, the redhead often holds banquets, drinks and sings on the island, and lives a comfortable life.

The banquet had been going on for three days, but it was expected that it would take at least a week to come to fruition. However, there was an accident today, which made it impossible to continue the banquet......

......

Because of the frequent visits here, the redheads have built some of the necessary facilities on the island.

For example, there is a wine cellar for fine wines, a kitchen with all kinds of sauces and pots, and of course there is essential housing and an operating room for emergency treatment.

You have to prepare anyway, and it always feels weird to just dig the cellar. So at Beckman's insistence, there was so much infrastructure.

However, this time the people who came here exceeded their original expectations, so they still had to set up many tents, and only then did they arrange all the wounded.

Lifting the tent and walking out, Shanks took off the mask on his face and asked with a serious face, "How is Ace?" ”

"The condition has subsided, and he should be fine, but his co-captain ......"

Beckman shrugged and didn't finish his sentence, but he was very clear.

Although Ace decisively ordered to flee, no more plague bombs landed on the deck. But his co-captain was different, he was almost frontal hit by a cannonball, and the rotten flesh full of plague and germs smeared his face, and almost zero distance into his body with his breath.

In addition, there is nothing around Cannibal Island, let alone small islands, and there are few reefs to be seen. Without medicine, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and even the most clever doctor has no way to deal with the plague, and his condition has been delayed.

The location of Cannibal Island was originally like this, otherwise it would not have been a no-man's land before this, and it would not have been occupied by any force.

Therefore, his illness is the most serious, and it is beyond most people's imagination to be able to persist until he rushes to the red-haired territory for help.

It's just that it seems that this is his limit......

Three days in a row, unconscious, and his vital signs getting weaker and weaker, all meant that he was running out of time.

"Acena, I like his companion very much......" Shanks sighed and ordered his men to carry the dead patients inside and put them in the quarantine area.

Waving his hand, he said to Beckman, "Let's go, let's go see him." ”

It's been a long time since Loya was declared a defect from the navy, and the redhead hasn't left his territory. But that didn't mean he didn't know anything, the little guy who had traded with him on Ian Island was just as dangerous and mysterious as he had thought.

Not only is his strength already at the pinnacle of this world, but even the things he planned are equally earth-shattering. Later, Loya went to Cannibal Island, and this information could hide from most people, but not from him.

Because this is the New World, the realm of the Four Emperors.

So the redhead knows very well where this force that has caused the spade pirates to suffer heavy losses comes from, and he also knows the meaning behind it.

......

Ace is Luffy's older brother, and he is a powerful pirate himself, so naturally he will not be arranged in a tent like ordinary crew members.

In the direction of the sea, there is a white house that stands alone, where Ace is now.

Walking with Beckman to the door of the room, Shanks was just about to open the door, when suddenly the door was broken down and fell down.

"Huh?"

Looking at the figure inside who was about to jump over the door, Shanks frowned and slapped the door.

Boom...... Boom!

was slapped by the red hair's palm, and the collapsed door instantly changed direction and pounced, and the unprepared Ace didn't have time to dodge, and his head hit it directly, and then he was smashed back into the room by the door.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Covering his head, Ace's painful eyes were about to fall, and he looked at Shanks dissatisfied.

"Hey, redhead, what are you doing!"

"Be polite to your savior, bastard boy!"

Beckman squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, then walked over and lifted Ace up: "And in front of you, it's the Four Emperors Shanks!" If you don't know how to do it, I don't mind teaching you instead of Kap! ”

"Uh......"

Ace also suddenly remembered what happened before he fell unconscious, broke free from Beckman's big hand, and stood in place and bent down respectfully 90° to Shanks: "I'm sorry Mr. Shanks, please forgive me for my recklessness!" ”

After Sabo's "death", he was determined to set an example for Luffy, and Ace learned various manners from Miss Magino. If it weren't for the fact that he was in too much of a hurry just now, he would definitely not have done such a rude thing.

The two sides have been in contact, so Shanks also knows Ace's character. He waved his hand to forgive Ace and looked around the room curiously.

"What a mess, what the hell are you doing?"

Hearing Shanks's words, Ace touched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression, and then quietly kicked a book that had fallen on the floor into the bottom of the table with his foot.

Of course, this change was not enough to cover up the chaos in the room like a war, but it made me look stupid.

"What's that...... I wanted to go to my crew and they wouldn't let me go, so I ......"

Looking in the direction Ace pointed, Shanks saw his own ship doctor with a footprint on his face, and his face turned black and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"So you're trying to break out?" Beckman and Shanks glanced at each other, and suddenly remembered a certain little bean who was clamoring to become the king of the pirates.

Sure enough, these two are brothers, and Hu Lai's style is really the same!

"By the way, Mr. Shanks, how is my crew? Are they okay? ”

Ace suddenly asked anxiously, he only saw the island before he fell unconscious, and he passed out after blocking the rudder with his arm to ensure the direction of the sailboat, and he had no memory of what happened next.

He is also the longest-lasting one of the Spade Pirates, and if it weren't for Ace, the entire Spade Pirates would have died and disappeared into the sea.

Really...... It's time to come.

Hearing the question, Shanks fell silent and watched Ace quietly. This abnormal behavior made Ace suddenly have an ominous premonition, and his throat was dry: "What...... What's wrong? They ......"

"Mostly...... Alive. ”

Shanks said slowly: "Some people are too sick to be rescued. ”

Rumble---

Suddenly, Ace only felt a bolt of lightning cut through his mind, and his vision became blurred. Then he went limp, and slowly fell backwards.

Shanks didn't let him fall to the hard floor, though, and caught him with a dodge.

Looking at Ace's eyes that had lost focus due to the blow being too big, Shanks whispered, "I'm sorry Ace, I don't have enough medicine stored here, I ......"

"No, it's none of your business......"

Ace stared at his confused eyes and whispered to stop Shanks from continuing, smiling grimly, "It's all my fault...... I asked them to go that way, and if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died......"

Shanks didn't know how to answer this. Beckman was the same, he could only sigh softly and sigh with emotion.

"This ...... It's the true face of the new world! ”
