Redhead Shanks.

At the mention of this name, I am afraid that no one will be unfamiliar. Regardless of his current status as one of the Four Emperors of the New World, the mere fact that he was once a trainee crew member on One Piece Roger's ship has already made countless people envious, and the same is destined to be a legend for the red hair's life.

This is a man who once made it to the end of the world alive!.br/>"Or do you want to have a duel with me before you duel Whitebeard?" ”

Almost at the same time as the red-haired voice fell, several pirates around him faintly pointed their guns at Ace and the others, not only the red-haired pirates were like a great enemy, but even the pirates on the side of the Black Flame Pirates almost subconsciously pulled out their weapons and pointed their fingers at each other, as long as their own captain gave an order, they would not hesitate to attack the other party.

The uneasiness that seemed to have solidified gradually spread among everyone.

No! Not everyone, at least four people on the field, did not seem surprised by the sharp tension between the two sides, and they were none other than the cold-eyed redhead, the complacent Ace, the smiling Lilith, and the vice-captain Ben Beckman, who had been smoking silently at the beginning.

"Ah, that's true."

Ace's eyes looked straight at the hideous three claw marks on the red-haired left eye, and muttered, "After all, it's the Four Emperors who stand at the top of this world, and the red-haired Shanks, if you don't want to fight you, it's a complete lie." ”

Is that so······ The redhead gently closed his eyes, but when he opened them again, he burst out with infinite battle intent, "If this is your answer, then I won't refuse." ”

Then, everyone didn't want to, Ace suddenly changed his words, and said with some emotion, "I originally wanted to do this, but as soon as I saw my brother's savior, I couldn't raise my motivation for a duel or something!" Hee-hee, I think I'd better be honest with you. ”

With that, Ace bowed deeply to the redhead in front of him, "I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Luffy for everything you have done, of course, I don't think this will be able to repay you." ”

It's not just gratitude that can make up for it, what Shanks has paid to Luffy is not just an arm, the strength has reached the point where it is now, Ace naturally understands what an arm means to Shanks, especially Shanks, who is a left-hander, if it weren't for Luffy to take such an arm, maybe by now, Shanks's strength can already catch up with Whitebeard.

After all, the other party is also a person with the qualifications of a king!

"Brother? What are you talking about······ Luffy? ”

The red-haired person paused, and after a brief moment of surprise, a bright smile appeared on his rugged face, "What, it turned out to be Luffy's brother, hahaha, my own people, brothers, it's a banquet, celebrating friends who have been separated for many years······"

Ben Beckman put down the cigarette butt in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to recall the child who was clamoring to join the pirates more than ten years ago, and it seemed that the rubber fruit that the other party took was found by his own hands.

"Open a banquet! Banquet! Even with the uneaten chicken leg in his left hand, Raki Road always enjoyed the banquet.

And when the Black Flame Pirates saw this scene, they were also stunned, they originally thought that they would have to go through a difficult battle, but they didn't expect that it would be easily solved with just the captain's words.

"What kind of person is the captain's brother?" All of a sudden, the enigmatic name "Luffy" was firmly remembered by everyone.

In fact, compared to his companions, what was more surprised was Ace, and he didn't think that just by his own no reason, he could make the redhead enthusiastically open his heart to himself, such a bold spirit, Ace was ashamed of himself.

Looking at the middle-aged man with a neat mustache in front of him, his wild and uninhibited temperament is particularly eye-catching at this moment, and the red-haired figure gradually coincides with the figure that always follows him in his memory, Ace seems to have some understanding.

Whether it's Luffy or redhead, they naturally seem to have a talent that can make the people around them trust them unconditionally, which has nothing to do with personal ability, it can only be said that this is their unique personality charm.

Or is this the rumored protagonist aura?

······

"You said your name was Anilu?"

The redhead looked at the man with strange earlobes in front of him, and his eyes revealed an emotion called "hope".

"You're pretty good, do you want to come to me and do it with me?"

As the Four Emperors standing at the pinnacle of this world, the red-haired eyes are naturally extremely vicious, and he saw Anilu's extraordinaryness at a glance, and threw an olive branch to Anilu.

"How is that possible!"

"Hey, you don't exist for me, do you?" Ace yelled viciously.

"Haha!" The redhead poured a sip of liquor into his mouth, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and patted Ace's shoulder with a smile, "Everyone is a man on the sea, don't be so restrained!" ”

"Still, what I said is valid, Anilu, and I'm always welcome if you change your mind." The red-haired was still tempted by the immortality of the thief's heart, and provoked Anilu to throw a ball of thunder and lightning directly, but he was scattered by his light punch, and shouted from himself, "Wow, it turns out that Anilu is a natural thunder fruit ability, no wonder you are so strong." ”

"This bastard ······" In the face of such a scoundrel behavior as the red hair, Anilu couldn't beat it, and he couldn't scold it, so he simply lay down and fell asleep.

"Oh, by the way, Ace, I think it's rumored that you're going to duel Whitebeard in a month." After chatting for a while, the redhead seemed to remember something, and then straightened out.

"Well, what's the problem?"

"No, I just think you're in such a hurry, are you in a hurry to prove something?" Redhead frowned slightly, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with his reaction, "What's more, you can find anyone, why do you have to find Whitebeard?" ”

Looking at the slight anger on the redhead's face, Ace still didn't compromise, but judging from the vague attitude of the other party, probably because he was Luffy's brother, he was so concerned about this matter, "Actually, you can feel it too, Shanks······ I've only fought once, and although I lost miserably that time, Whitebeard's strength is really getting weaker. ”

"So you're trying to ······" Hearing Ace's words, a hint of clarity flashed in the redhead's eyes.

"Yes, Whitebeard's body is getting worse day by day, it's just not so obvious on the surface, if a person like him dies so incompetently, I think it's an insult to Whitebeard, if I really have the ability to kill him, I'd rather Whitebeard die at my hands!"

It seemed to be pouring out the secrets that had been buried in his heart for a long time, and Ace couldn't help but flash a hint of pleasure in his heart, and then smiled inexplicably. Seeing that the redhead was still staggering, Ace reluctantly threw out words that stunned everyone present, including his companions.

"Otherwise, I will die at his hands!"

Seeing that Ace had made up his mind, the redhead sighed lightly, and no longer obstructed, but just held the last luck and asked, "You have really decided, even if you die at the hands of Whitebeard, you will never regret it?" ”

Ace didn't reply, just smiled kindly, and his gaze was as determined as before.

I'm afraid of death, what kind of pirate are you!

The redhead groaned for a long time, but did not speak, got up and paced, and finally skimmed the snowy sky outside the cave, but his thoughts had drifted into the distance.

The place that Whitebeard agreed with Ace before, the sea area of Ed Waugh, was the sea area where Gore D. Roger, who had not yet been named "One Piece" twenty years ago, and the Golden Lion, who was known as the "Admiral of the Pirate Fleet" and the "Flying Pirates" at that time.

At the same time, it is also the last sea area in front of Ralphdrew, the terminus of the New World.

Across this sea is Ralph Drew, the end of the world, the crowning throne of the unique One Piece!

One Piece!

It's a title that all pirates dream of at the same time, but it's also a mountain to look up to, and it's more than just a supreme honor! It is also a symbol of the times and the key to a new era!

But since One Piece Gore D. Roger, everyone has stopped at this title, and they have stopped at Ed Woh!

Ed Waugh,——end·ar.

Veritably, "The Last War"!
