The man sitting in the conference room, dressed in a black robe and wearing a hood, was none other than Shanks, one of the three emperors today.

As depicted in the original book, Shanks has three claw marks on his left eye, a few strands of blood-colored hair peeking out of his hood, and the empty sleeve of his left arm swaying gently as he picks up the teacup.

Well..

As long as there is no problem with the eyes, they will be able to recognize it.

I don't know if this thing is dressed like this, whether it wants to hide its identity, or if it doesn't want to hide its identity...

Vivian muttered inwardly.

At the same moment, at the moment when Vivian was looking at the red hair through the wall, the red hair also put down the teacup and cast his eyes on Vivian, and the two looked at each other for a long time across a back wall, as if the wall between them did not exist at all, and Vivian reached out to push open the door under the voice of the two guards, and then walked into the conference room.

Winter!

Closing the door, and without waiting for the redhead to speak, Vivian pulled out his chair and sat down across from him.

"Did you come to me to say something important? Do you want me to use a sound shield to block the sound? ”

The familiar tone was as if the two were old friends who had known each other for a long time.

However, in fact, today is the first time the two have met.

"Thunder Sword Hero.. It's a little different from what I imagined. ”

Shanks couldn't help but laugh, but no sooner had he finished speaking than an invisible pressure suddenly swept through the air.

Vivian, who sensed this situation, couldn't help but frown.

"Overlord color?"

And it's such a tough overlord color...

I have to say that Shanks's control skills for the overlord color have indeed reached the point of perfection, and even after seeing the battle between Big Mom and Kaido, Vivian thinks that the use of the overlord color of those two guys is not as good as that of the redhead.

Of course, it is not about the strength of the overlord color, but about the use of it.

It was the first time he had seen someone who could manipulate the Overlord color as if it were a machine, changing shape with his own thoughts and wrapping his target tightly.

Just like it is now.

Vivian could clearly perceive that the overlord color released by the red hair wrapped him like a coat, and in addition, the two guards at the door and the phone bug placed on the conference table were not affected at all, which shows how perverted this guy's control over the overlord color is.

But despite this:

Vivian, who was tightly wrapped by Shanks's overlord color, still sat on the chair like a nobody, smiling without saying anything, and even stretched out a hand to himself, broke away from the overlord color, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of black tea.

Seeing this, Shanks couldn't help but smile again, and immediately withdrew the overlord color released outside.

He's just such a bad thing, as he has always been when he met with the Whitebeard Pirates.

In the same way, the reason why he did this time was just to test Vivian's strength.

"It seems that the youngest general in history does not seem to be groundless.."

"You came to me just to see if I am strong enough to qualify as a general?"

Vivian drank the black tea in the cup, and then said, "I just heard from the two guards at the door that they wanted to bring me here to meet the Draconian, and when I opened the door, I saw you. Are you the Draconian? ”

He remembered this scene in the One Piece anime.

Shanks, who is also dressed now, came to the Holy Land Mary Joya to meet with the five old stars, Vivian had a guess when he was watching the anime, and now combined with the words of the two guards just now, he really has some doubts about Shanks's true identity.

And sure enough, Shanks, who heard this question, also reached out and took off the hood on his head, looked at Vivian with a very serious expression and said, "I'm actually.. Indeed, he is also a Draconian, right."

Vivian: ∑ (o_o; )

the groove..

I think I've heard something terrible?

Red-haired Shanks, is really a Dracon?!

Vivian looked shocked.

And the red hair fell into the memory as if no one was around after saying this, as if muttering: "That was thirty-eight years ago... In addition to Maryjoya, there is also a place where the Draconians live, which is called the Valley of the Gods."

"Valley of the Gods?"

Vivian, who heard the word, raised his eyebrows again.

The Battle of the Valley of the Gods is mentioned more than once in the original book, when there was a pirate named Locks, who had been famous on the sea long before Roger became famous, and who was considered by everyone to be the most promising to become the king of the pirates.

Incidentally, three of the previous Four Emperors, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, Charlotte Lingling of Big Mom, and Kaido the Beast, were all crew members under Locks.

In addition, there are also Golden Lion Shiki, as well as pirates such as Silver Axe, John, and Wang Zhi who will also shine on the sea in the future, and they are also the crew members of the Locks Pirates.

So the question is, why was such a pirate group, which was so powerful on paper to such a terrifying level, defeated?

Is it just because Karp and Roger are too strong to be beaten?

Not..

Among them, there is naturally no lack of support from the world government for this battle.

At that time, the Draconians living in the Valley of the Gods and the slaves in captivity of the Draconians were all captured by the Rocks Pirates and used as hostages to threaten the world government.

Speaking of which, do you think Yin Mu is so angry because he cares about his compatriots?

Of course not.

In his eyes, compatriots are far less important than the secrets in the Valley of the Gods.

Because of this, in order to protect that "secret", Yin Mu, who didn't take the lives of the Heavenly Dragons in the Valley of the Gods into account, used the "Heavenly King" to destroy the entire island.

In that battle, Locks died under the combination of the King, Karp and Roger.

Whitebeard, Big Mom, Golden Lion, and Kaido also scatter and flee, narrowly retrieving their lives.

"So, the story of the Rocks Pirates being wiped out in the Valley of the Gods, what does it have to do with you being a Celestial Dragon?" Vivian asked as he poured another cup of black tea.

"Because. . I was born shortly before that battle in the Valley of the Gods. ”
