Pirates: Cutting down Ace at the beginning

Chapter 488 The Devil Fruit That Makes Red-haired Shanks Heartbeat

The smile on the red-haired Shanks' face stiffened suddenly.

Looking at this former number one swordsman who formed a group alone.

The red-haired Shanks clearly knew that Mihawk's identity and status in the sea was infinitely close to that of the former Red Earl.

If he can get this kind of combat power that is infinitely close to the emperor's level, the red-haired Shanks believes that he can face the two four emperors at the same time.

It is not impossible to directly challenge and overthrow the Navy Headquarters.

However, seeing a dodge, they came to me, staring at a pair of emotionless eyes, the eagle-eyed Mihawk and the red-haired Shanks, who were staring at death, did not dare to continue to make mistakes. Be careful, and Hawkeye drew his sword and slashed at each other.

After casually throwing a bottle of red wine to Hawkeye Mihawk, the expression on the face of the red-haired Shanks gradually became dignified, revealing a rare seriousness.

"Mihawk, you should still remember that I used to be an intern crew member on the ship of One Piece Roger."

"At that time, when Captain Roger and the others went to the final island of Lovedrew, Bucky was seriously ill and I stayed to take care of him, so I didn't arrive at the final island of Lovedrew. You still called me stupid!"

Looking at the red-haired man who suddenly brought up the old story, Eagle-eyed Mihawk frowned, raised his head and took a sip of red wine, then sat casually on the rock next to him and said.

"I remember, you also said at the time, if you had gone to Ralph Drew at that time, after the Roger Pirates disbanded, you, the person who saw my last island, would definitely be called the new One Piece King."

"Over the years, you have been fiddling with how to break the old era, isn't it also to get the four red historical texts?"

"Although you have worked so hard to get the rubber fruit and bet it on Karp's grandson, the idea of ​​using his triple identity background to completely break the pattern of the old era has failed."

"However, now the old era has been messed up by Bai Yu, no, it should be said that it is more appropriate to chop it up."

"Even Kaido, who is one of the four emperors and has always been defiant, was beheaded by him. Isn't this in your favor?"

Having said that, Hawkeye Mihawk subconsciously looked at the red-haired Shanks and said.

"Are you sure you can close the net?"

After saying this, all the crew members present tensed up to the extreme.

They gathered on the red-haired Shanks, of course they agreed with the red-haired will before choosing to board the ship.

This act of treating the sea as a chessboard and taking the initiative to break the old era is indeed a bit of a failure.

However, as long as the final result is as they imagined, it is enough.

Red-haired Shanks smiled faintly.

"Would you believe me if I said yes?"

"I don't know what kind of devil fruit ability that kid is, and why he has all kinds of tricks."

"But these are not important, what is important is what is the hole card I have."

"That day, when I came back from the East China Sea, and you asked me why, I lost an arm, but my strength rose steadily, and I reached the level of the Four Emperors in one fell swoop."

"If I told you that the devil fruit I robbed from CP0 that day was not one, but two, would you believe it?"

Two devil fruits?

Hawkeye Mihawk's expression changed slightly, and after glancing at the severed arm of red-haired Shanks, he finally understood.

After the red-haired Shanks returned from the East China Sea, Hawkeye Mihawk came to visit.

It was the first kendo duel since the broken arm.

After this battle, the story of the red-haired Shanks' rapid improvement in strength after breaking his arm was widely spread.

The result of the final battle was regarded as a tie.

This battle is also the final battle between Hawkeye Mihawk and Red Hair Shanks.

Since then, the two have not fought against each other again.

With this battle, the red-haired Shanks directly became famous, and the number of pirates under his command is also increasing day by day.

In the end, a huge power empire was formed, and it had the qualifications to challenge the Three Emperors at that time.

Later, due to territorial disputes with the three emperors with white beards, they each fought a big battle that did not fall behind.

The identity of the four emperors of the red-haired Shanks was completely established.

However, it is precisely for this reason that Hawkeye Mihawk knows very well that the final duel with the red-haired Shanks was deliberately used by him to gain momentum for himself.

This kind of action undoubtedly consumed the friendship between the two, and in the end this battle became the swan song in the final battle of kendo.

Perhaps the red-haired Shanks also knows the grudge in Hawkeye Mihawk's heart, so these years, he has not chased the title of the world's number one swordsman, allowing Hawkeye Mihawk to sit in this position for many years.

However, now the red-haired Shanks took the initiative to reveal the secret.

It can also completely explain why the majestic Four Emperors, in order to save people from falling into the water, would have an arm eaten off by a mere offshore king.

The domineering arrogance that erupted didn't even stun the King of the Sea, it just scared it away.

There is only one possibility.

The red-haired Shanks, like the other three emperors, is a devil fruit capable user.

Otherwise, all this would not make sense.

"Red hair, I didn't expect you to give me the self-destruct card. You are willing to give away the rubber fruit. I am afraid that you will get the fruit that is even more heaven-defying and exciting to you, so that you can't control it and break the Roger Pirates. Make a rule not to eat devil fruit."

Hawkeye Mihawk said lightly.

The red-haired Shanks silently took a sip of his drink and sighed.

"Yes, you're right. At that time, I didn't expect that besides the rubber fruit, there would be such a heaven-defying devil fruit."

"If CP0 hadn't personally confirmed it, and found a page recording the elimination of this fruit, I'm afraid I would never have thought that this world still has this ability."

"If it weren't for the power brought by this fruit, I'm afraid I wouldn't have grown by leaps and bounds in strength after leaving Fengche Town and sat in the position of the Four Emperors."

"If I had to choose again, I would still be moved."

Hawkeye Mihawk's expression changed slightly.

Looking at the red-haired Shanks with emotion on his face, he didn't ask further.

Because as an old acquaintance, Hawkeye knows very well that the red-haired Shanks, who has always been deeply in the city, can say this, which is already the bottom line.

Instead of asking questions and getting rejected, it is better to order and stop.

As for the heaven-defying fruit, it is enough to hear about it.

Most importantly, Hawkeye Mihawk knew that the next thing should be the topic.
