Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

After reading the contents of the newspaper in detail, Shanks also had a general understanding of the details of the conflict between the Straw Hat Pirates and Elbaf.

"Interesting~ It wasn't Luffy and the others who came up with it, but Gekko Moria from the Straw Hat Grand Fleet who took the lead?"

"Has the Straw Hat Pirates developed to this point now?!"

"He is the Pirate Emperor after all, Boss."

At this moment, Lachi Lu walked over with a huge leg-supporting meat stick and joked to the red-haired man:

"Luffy is now recognized as the strongest pirate in the world. Go ask around and see who still mentions the title of the Four Emperors. People call us and Whitebeard the pirates of the old era who are lingering under the Pirate Emperor!"

"Still lingering on? That's a rather embarrassing way to put it~"

The red-haired man smiled as he listened to Laqi Lu's words, and was not angry at the ridicule of the world.

On the contrary, he is actually very happy in his heart to see Luffy achieve his current results.

only……

"You know that Elbaf is our territory, but you still dare to provoke me like this? Don't you think too highly of me?"

Shanks raised his eyebrows, raised the newspaper in his hand and smiled crookedly:

"Hey, Beckman, the other side has provoked us so openly, so if we do nothing, wouldn't it be a bit too weak?"

"That's right~" Ben Beckman smiled slightly, as if he had guessed what the red-haired man was thinking, and nodded in response:

"Even if you are the Pirate Emperor, you shouldn't be so disrespectful to your elders!"

"They should indeed be taught a lesson."

Laqi Lu bit off a large piece of meat and laughed while chewing:

"I'm afraid that by then, our people won't be able to defeat Luffy's men, and then things will get really bad!"

"Hey, isn't that the case?" Shanks was stunned for a moment, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he smacked his lips and said:

"The strongest among them are Moria and Hancock, right? They are just the Shichibukai..."

"Just a reminder~" Ben Beckman smiled, "They are the Shichibukai who were strengthened by the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Don't forget Whitebeard. He is much stronger now."

"Yeah, that's true." The red-haired man nodded in astonishment and muttered softly, "We really can't be too careless."

How strong is Whitebeard now?

Let’s put it this way, the former Red Hair felt that even if he lost an arm, he would still be able to defeat the elderly White Beard 100%.

However, now, under the various means of the Straw Hat Pirates, Whitebeard's body has not only recovered to its heyday, but he has also gained an unprecedented terrifying power from nowhere.

So much so that when Shanks met Whitebeard again not long ago, he actually felt an unprecedented strong aura from him.

His Observation Haki, which can predict the future, accurately predicted that if he were to fight with Whitebeard again, he would definitely lose miserably!

Although Red had never taken Whitebeard for training in the game world, after loading the Pokémon template, Whitebeard himself had become a semi-digital body.

As long as you continue to train and practice, you can gain a small amount of experience.

In the long run, his level will eventually be improved.

At his level, the improvement at each level is considerable.

More importantly, Whitebeard's loving nature towards his children means that the more sons he has around him, the stronger he becomes.

For someone who has adopted a son at sea for decades, the power boost brought by the parent-child love characteristic is far beyond Shanks' imagination.

This also makes Shanks look forward to the so-called power of Pokémon.

Who could have thought that the future he gambled with an arm would drastically change the world in a way he had never imagined and create a brand new era.

Although people today have not realized it yet, Shanks believes that in the near future, people will single out a certain event time node of the Straw Hat Pirates and call it "the beginning of the Pokémon era."

Just like Captain Roger who created the great pirate era!

"Whatever! It's not our style to do nothing!"

Although there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, Shanks finally slapped his thigh and said to Ben Beckman beside him:

"Contact Elbaf immediately and tell him that as Elbaf's friend, the Red Hair Pirates will join Elbaf's camp and help them complete the ring battle!"

……

……

Time flies by like a white horse.

In today's turbulent times, just a few days pass quickly because of the dullness.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day that Moria and Elbaf had agreed to meet.

At the same time, thanks to Morgans' efforts, almost all the countries and regions in the world have obtained at least one large screen that can be used to broadcast live broadcasts.

Its scale is so huge that it can be said to be unprecedented in the entire history of the pirate world.

This is also thanks to the live broadcast of the execution of the Celestial Dragons planned by Red two years ago.

It was based on that incident that Morgans' broadcasting channel became extremely popular all over the world, allowing him to earn a large sum of money while also spreading his voice throughout the entire pirate world.

At this time, the broadcast is in the early stage of its official start.

Although the picture was connected, what was captured was an endless sea.

With Morgans' advance communication, the giants also allowed them to set up various filming equipment in the underworld of Elbaf, which is the land connecting Elbaf and the outside world of the sea.

At the same time, this is also the battlefield for all ring battles.

Even though the content of the bet allows Elbaf to send out any number of people to defend the ring, Alulu and others are well aware that facing the Straw Hat Grand Fleet which is full of strong men, no matter how many people they send out, it will be of no avail.

On the contrary, the failure of too many Titans would damage the honor of Elbaf.

So after much consideration, Yalulu finally decided that among the entire tribe, only those who are stronger than Sauro are qualified to participate in this ring battle.

Sauro is the giant vice admiral who has a deep bond with Robin and survived the O'Hara incident because of Aokiji's mercy.

As a giant with the letter D in his name, Sauro is an elite even among many giant vice admirals, and his combat power is second only to the candidate for navy admiral.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become close friends with Aokiji, a genius who has been shining since joining the navy.

Finally, there were nine people sent out by the Giants to defend the ring, namely:

The giant elder Alulu, the captain of the Giant Pirates Donli, Broo, the captain of the new Giant Pirates Helding, the sinner of the giant Loki, the surviving giant Sauro...

The above six people are all the giants participating in the ring battle this time.

The remaining three were all ordinary humans, but they joined the battle because of their close relationship with the giants.

The first to be affected were naturally the former Four Emperors, the captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Shanks, and the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Ben Beckman.

As for the last defender from the Giant tribe, he was enough to surprise all the spectators.

Because this person is the same name as Rayleigh, "The Pirate King's Left Hand" Scrooge Jabba!!!

Since retiring, Jabba has lived in seclusion in Elbaf, and he also married a female giant of Elbaf, giving birth to a little hybrid giant named Koron.

When Jabba learned that the Straw Hat Pirates were preparing to conquer Elbaf, he actually had no intention of getting involved in the fight.

After all, he has been in seclusion for many years and is not a real giant.

But ever since Red Hair came to Elbaf and met Jabba to help Elbaf defend the ring, he has been constantly lobbying Jabba to let them participate in the defense of the ring and make the Straw Hat Pirates lose some face in the live broadcast.

Even though Shanks is very optimistic about Luffy, it's just like when an adult sees a child he likes and can't help but pinch his face and watch him pout in anger.

Shanks also wanted to tease Luffy.

If it was just him and Ben Beckman, he really wasn't completely sure that he could help the giants defend their title successfully.

But if Jabba, whose strength is comparable to that of a navy admiral, joins the team, the giants' chances of winning will undoubtedly increase.

Just like that, the giants sent out a strange lineup.

They were clearly fighting to protect the glory of the Titans, but in this battle, they actually sent out three humans.

And even on the giant side, there is a member of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, a shame to the giant tribe.

Such a strange lineup was difficult to accept for all the giants waiting to watch the game.

But the fact is...

The strength of the nine of them is enough to sweep across the entire Elbaf and leave no room for anyone to find fault with them.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Soon, many blurry figures suddenly appeared on the calm sea surface.

The audience who were waiting for the live broadcast in front of various screens also shouted excitedly when they saw abnormalities finally appear on the sea.

"It's a ship! It must be the Straw Hat Pirates' ship!!!"

Although the identities of those black shadows have not been seen clearly yet, all the audience know that they must be the Straw Hat Fleet that has come to keep a date!

as predicted.

As time went by, the silhouette of the ship became clearer and clearer in the picture.

All I saw were warships flying the Straw Hat Pirates' aura and their own pirate flags covering the entire sea...

In an instant, a majestic aura rose from the sea and surged towards Elbaf like a wave.

“It’s really scary!”

Looking at the sea, which was filled with at least 800 pirate warships, if not a thousand...

It was not until this moment that Shanks realized how much Luffy and his pirate group had grown.

What's more crucial is that at this moment, he actually felt no less than ten strands of domineering aura surging out from those warships, intimidating them.

In response, Shanks and others naturally did not want to be outdone, and they fought back with their domineering aura.

Although the number of domineering Haki masters on their side was not as many as that of the Straw Hat Fleet, with the presence of two domineering masters, Shanks and Jabba, they were able to tie with the momentum released by the Straw Hat Fleet.

In an instant, the entire sea surface seemed to fall into a thunder purgatory. Endless black lightning continued to erupt under the domineering conflict, tearing the entire space apart.

"Um?!"

The straw hat ship's bow.

Moriah stood at the bow of the Pluto. He thought he would be defeated by the Giants, but he was stunned. Feeling the domineering aura released by the other side, he looked slightly stunned.

After a moment, he quickly raised the personal terminal on his wrist and reminded doubtfully:

"Something seems to be wrong! The other party possesses an extremely strong domineering aura..."

"Looking at the size of the place, I'm afraid they're up to no good!"

"It's Red Hair Shanks!"

Before Moriah could finish speaking, Hawkins, who possessed the ability of divination, took the lead in replying in the group voice.

Three minutes ago, on the Hawkins Pirates' ship.

He used his straw powers to hold up a few tarot cards in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.

"How strange! The Straw Hat Fleet's chance of winning is only 90%..."

Hawkins, who habitually consulted the tarot cards before doing anything, looked at the instructions given by the tarot cards, and there was indeed a deep sense of confusion in his calm eyes.

At this moment, a young woman with a purple hood and great charm standing next to Hawkins was holding a crystal ball, frowning and suddenly saying:

"Wait! How is this possible!?"

"Um!?"

Hearing the young woman's surprised voice, Hawkins immediately turned his head in confusion, looked at the young woman and asked:

"What happened, Shirley!?"

The young woman named Xia Li lowered her hood, revealing a mature woman's face, and then said in surprise:

"I just saw the figure of the Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks in the divination of the crystal ball, and beside him, there is a figure who looks very powerful."

"Combined with the results of your divination just now, I have reason to suspect that Red-Haired Shanks seems to have joined this ring battle and is on the side of the giants!"

"What!?" Hawkins widened his eyes in fear, but did not doubt the young woman's divination results.

After all, his experiences during this period have made him realize that Mrs. Shirley, who is from the mermaid tribe, possesses divination powers that are no weaker than his.

That's right!

The figure of this young woman is none other than Mrs. Shirley, who has a record of 100% accurate divination in Fishman Island!

As the Straw Hat Pirates' control over the world becomes stronger and stronger, Fishman Island, which belongs to the Straw Hat Pirates, naturally ushered in the true liberation they had long awaited.

Nowadays, after the slave trade has been suppressed repeatedly, few people dare to take the risk and continue to engage in the slave trade despite the world's condemnation.

Naturally, no one dared to have any evil intentions towards the mermaids and fish-men under the Straw Hat Pirates.

Fishman Island ushered in true liberation, and more and more mermaids and fish-men walked out of the deep sea and went to areas around the world that were absolutely ruled by the Straw Hat Pirates to enjoy the land and sunshine.

And Xia Li is one of them.

Don't be fooled by the fact that others always address her as "Mrs. Shirley".

But it was not until two months ago, when she turned 30, that her fish tail differentiated into legs, giving her the ability to move freely on land.

And it was precisely taking this opportunity that she came to the Pokémon Sea controlled by the Straw Hat Pirates, and by chance she met Hawkins, who also had the power of divination, and joined the Hawkins Pirates.

Today, Shirley, with her accurate divination ability, has become the second only to Hawkins in the Hawkins Pirates.

If it weren't for the fact that she joined too late, someone would have even suggested that Shirley become the vice-captain of the Hawkins Pirates!

In this regard, Hawkins also thought seriously and said that if the opportunity is right in the future, he will fulfill his partners' wish.

After all, apart from the captain, the Hawkins Pirates really don't have any other outstanding members.

Now that he has a member named Shirley, whose divination ability far exceeds his, he naturally wants to take this opportunity to expand the Hawkins Pirates.

no way.

The competition within the Straw Hat Grand Fleet is just too fierce!

Even though he was used to leaving everything to fate, he couldn't help but want to do something now~
