On the passenger ship, Victor held a long knife and watched the red-haired Shanks on the opposite side slowly put the knife into the sheath.

"That's the legendary sword, Griffin?"

There was a small streak of blood on Victor's face, but he didn't care.

Through this brief contest with the redheads, Victor gains valuable information about how far he and the Four Emperors really are.

Don't feel how lightweight this is.

There are countless silver medalists on this sea, who have died simply because they miscalculated the difference in strength between themselves and their opponents. And the Four Emperors level rarely fights with others, and it is almost impossible to leave a living mouth once they fight. At the cost of all the lives of his subordinates and his domineering ability that was completely destroyed, Moonlight Moria found out the true strength of the 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido, but he was depressed for many years because of this.

Now through a short battle with the red hair, he has made himself understand how far he is still from the Four Emperors.

It's not so much that the redhead is here to stop himself, but rather to give a gift.

The red-haired Shanks put the knife into the sheath, and smiled slightly after hearing Victor's inquiry: "This knife has followed me for many years, and it is my old buddy." Your knife is not bad, it was originally one of the fifty works of the good fast knife, 'Lei Yuzuo', right? With your long-term battles and victories over countless powerful enemies, its [quality] can now be promoted to the twenty-first work of the Great Quick Knife. ”

"It's now called 'Melancholy Blues.'"

Victor played with the knife and put it in the zippered space in the palm of his hand.

The redhead looked at Victor, and his face became serious: "I believe you also understand the strength of the Four Emperors level, I can only tell you that I only used seventy percent of my strength just now, and in terms of absolute strength, BIGMOM is still above me." Even so, you still have to pick up Moonlight Moria? ”

"Senior, sometimes [strength] can't be used as a key factor in determining the outcome of the battle."

Victor smiled, "Otherwise, the strongest category of the Devil Fruit would not be the natural type, but the animal type." MR. MORIA, I MUST SAVE HIM, BUT SINCE BIGMOM HAS A GOOD SLEEVE WAITING FOR ME TO DRILL IN, THEN I HAVE TO GIVE HER A LITTLE 'SURPRISE'. ”

It's convenient to talk to smart people.

Seeing that Victor understood what he meant, the redhead smiled even more at the corner of his mouth: "That's good...... Need help wrapping it up? ”

Victor shrugged his shoulders: "It seems that he has already informed the senior echelons of the battle between you and me, so there is no point in him continuing to live...... I'm sorry for you, senior. ”

The sea was still rough in the distance, and Colonel Crohn clung to the mast, tremblingly put away the phone bug, and then reached out of his pocket to see how the two were fighting on the other side of the passenger ship.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a huge flying slash like bright silver splitting the waves and the sea breeze in front of him.

"What? Not ......"

Colonel Crohn only had time to let out a half-scream before his eyes went dark and he was no longer conscious.

On the passenger ship, the red-haired Shanks slowly put the knife into the sheath, and then turned his head to look at Victor: "Since you have decided, then I will not advise you anymore." Remember, BIGMOM is the woman who controls the weather, and you will only know how difficult she is to deal with when you really face her, so be careful. ”

With that, he waved his hand and turned unhurriedly away from the deck of the ship.

It didn't take long for the Red Foss to sail away from the sea, and Haoxue and the others saw Victor returning to the ship through the zippered space in the conference room of the Ark of Passion.

"Victor, how's it going?" Hao Xue looked up and down, but didn't find any injuries on Victor's body, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "How far does it feel to be from the [Four Emperors]?" ”

Victor sat at the end of the long table in the center of the conference room, raised his right hand and clenched and released it, repeated this several times, and said thoughtfully: "I must admit that there is still a big gap between me and the Four Emperors. It's amazing...... I originally thought that I had stepped into a new level, but I didn't expect the gap with the Four Emperors level to be so big. ”

"It is rumored that the Four Emperors are no longer the same species as ordinary people, they themselves are synonymous with [Great Cause], the pinnacle of human beings who have been sublimated, and the chosen kings selected by the long river of history."

Haoxue is an existence of the same era as BIGMOM, Whitebeard, and Kaido, and naturally has enough right to speak: "Whitebeard, BIGMOM, Kaido, Wang Zhi, Kap...... They are all the strongest surviving in the waves of the previous era, and they are the [summary at the end of the volume] of the chapter of the previous great era. You're too young, Victor, don't rush it. ”

"Victor is so powerful that he can't defeat the Four Emperors?" Mai Honghime had a melancholy face, and she thought of Wano Country. If Victor's strength can't catch up with the Four Emperors, then where is the future of Wano Country?

Perona's focus is different: "Old man, did you say that your brother was so strong when you were old?" ”

Hao Xue touched her chin, looked up and recalled: "The old man has not had direct contact with the Four Emperors, but he has heard of it. It is rumored that Whitebeard, BIGMOM, and Kaido were all crew members of the same pirate group back then......"

"W-——!?"

Everyone was shocked at this moment! Why did the old man Haoxue suddenly break the news without saying a word! Three of the Four Emperors were once part of the same pirate group? How can you never hear of such a thing?

"Wait, wait......" Luo stammered as he pressed the spotted fluff hat on top of his head in amazement, "The three of them actually stayed in the same boat...... Who's that captain!? ”

"Rocks Pirates, that's the name of that pirates."

Hao Xue leaned against the wall with her arms folded, falling into memory: "28 years ago, there is no doubt that it belongs to the era of [Locks]!" Desperately strong, contemptuous arrogance, ambition to dominate the world...... In those days, Locks was synonymous with 'danger' and 'horror'! ”

"Such a character...... Why is there no mention of it in any literature or literature? "It's strange that Robin, as an intelligence officer, doesn't know anything about the name [Locks].

"That's because the world government erased a lot of the events about them." Hao Xue tilted his head: "The Locks Pirates are a dangerous group with great personalities born from the 'hive' of Pirate Island, a group of people gathered for treasure. The leader Locks is a super careerist, his ambition to dominate the world was even known to the common people at the time, this pirate group is like a terrorist organization to the world government, the world government naturally hates them to the core, and wants to erase all the information about the Locks Pirates. ”

Perona asked, puzzled, "But...... But how did this pirate group disband, if it was so powerful? ”

"Then we have to mention the earth-shattering battle 28 years ago." Haoxue looked up at the ceiling: "28 years ago, in the [Godvalley], the Rocks Pirates, known as the strongest in the world, were wiped out. An unstoppable army of evil, led by a man named Monchi M. Vice Admiral D. Karp stopped! The Vice Admiral named Karp was also called the 'Hero of the Navy'! ”

"Huh? Isn't Karp called a 'Navy Hero' because he captured One Piece Gordo Roger? ”

"That's all for later." Hao Xue shook her head: "But it can be considered that BIGMOM at that time was not as strong as it is now." At that time, she was just a 'strong man', not a 'king'. ”

…………

On the deck of the departed Red Foss, red-haired Shanks was picking up a bottle of wine from his hometown and drinking it up.

"Shanks, how's that? Did [he] live up to your expectations? Deputy Captain Ben Beckman, who was standing nearby, asked with a cigarette in his mouth and a smile.

Bang Dang——!

The empty flask was tossed aside, and the red-haired Shanks wiped the corners of his mouth with his only remaining right hand, and smiled exceptionally cheerfully:

"At the pinnacle of the world, there must be a place for him!"
