Chapter 248 Dialogue Across Time and Space

"Captain, it seems that someone is approaching here."

Before Shanks and his group boarded their warship, an observer on board who was in charge of observing shouted loudly towards the bottom.

Hearing his words, everyone looked towards the distant sea.

The sea and the sky are connected, boundless, and I didn't see anything at first.

But after a while, they saw that on the horizon in the distance, there seemed to be an incomparably huge warship, which was approaching rapidly with the attitude of riding the wind and waves.

"This ship is too big...Is it the latest warship developed by the Navy?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of it."

Everyone visually observed that the size of the ship has far exceeded that of ordinary warships.

Any naval warship known so far is absolutely not so huge.

Shanks narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression became very serious.

"It seems that the visitor is not good..."

Subconsciously, he gently grasped the hilt of his sword.

"Listen everyone, don't act without my order for a while, first figure out what the other party's intention is!"

Shanks reminded the others in a deep voice.

Hearing what the captain said, everyone else was ready.

In the distance, on the "Dawn Storm".

"The information provided by 'bigmom' is indeed correct. Those people should be members of the 'Red Hair Pirates'."

"'Red Hair' Shanks is also on the shore."

In the cockpit, Uzumaki Nagato had already seen clearly the situation on the burning island in the distance.

"I don't know what the other party's attitude will be."

Yahiko beside him said.

"Master Changfeng's order is very simple, if the other party does not accept the negotiation, then kill them here."

Nagato replied.

The warship approached at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary ships.

Soon came near the burning island.

The height of hundreds of meters, compared with Shanks' car "Red Voss", suddenly crushed like a giant.

Under the huge impact of the ship, the waves rolled up several meters of spray and slapped them here.

"--boom!!"

The waves hit the shore and sprinkled the sea water all over the sky, as if giving Shanks and others a blow.

"careful!"

Everyone exclaimed in alarm.

If they continued to stand on the shore without dodging, they would definitely be drenched head and body by the pouring sea water.

But if you just get out of the way like this, it is tantamount to being successfully intimidated by the opponent's disarming power.

This is not in line with the aura of the "Four Emperors" pirate group.

When the situation was critical, there was a sudden "clang", and the sword light streaked across the air, cutting all the incoming waves into pieces.

Shanks returned his sword back to its sheath, and looked up at the huge battleship that had stopped a hundred meters away.

"Sure enough, the visitor is not good!"

A sharp light flashed across his eyes quickly.

As soon as the voice fell, a group of figures had already appeared at the bow of the huge battleship, looking down at them from a high position at the moment.

The few in the lead were all wearing windbreakers with black background and red clouds, and everyone knew that they were indeed coming with hostility just by looking at their expressions.

The leader was tall and thin with red hair.

"I have red hair like you..."

"It doesn't look like a pirate."

Ben Beckman took a step forward, stood beside Shanks, raised his head and stared at him.

"Um..."

Shanks' eyes locked on Nagato's face.

From the vague pressure released from the other party, he could tell at a glance that this person was the strongest.

"Who are you?"

Shanks stared at Nagato and asked.

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he saw Nagato's body slowly falling from a height of 100 meters.

Immediately after that, more than a dozen figures jumped down from the huge battleship.

Those strange guys landed on the surface of the sea, completely unaffected by the sea water, and stepped directly on the water surface strangely, walking towards this side step by step.

Seeing such a situation, everyone including Shanks was taken aback.

At the same time, everyone's faces became more serious.

"Step directly on the water? What kind of ability is this?"

"The 'moon step', one of the 'six styles' of the navy, seems like it can't do that, right?"

"Well, the principle of the 'Moon Step' is to step on the air at high speed and use the powerful reverse force to provide itself with the ability to stay in the air for a short time. It can't do this to an understatement..."

"It really doesn't look like a navy or a pirate! Who are these guys?"

Everyone is fully focused, staring warily at the approaching target.

"tread……"

Nagato was the first to set foot on the island from the sea.

Immediately after, others followed suit.

"'Four Emperors' Shanks, we have something to tell you."

After landing, Nagato said directly to Shanks.

Hearing the other party call out his name directly, Shanks was slightly taken aback, and then the corner of his mouth lifted into a smile.

He walked towards Nagato calmly, behind him Ben Beckman and others immediately wanted to follow, but he stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Who are you guys?"

Coming to Nagato's body, and looking at each other, Shanks asked again.

"We are the envoys of the Fire Nation, and we are here to give you a suggestion under the order of Lord Changfeng."

Nagato replied.

"The Kingdom of Fire..."

Shanks pondered in his mind, but he had no impression of this country at all.

Looking at the man in front of him who had the same red hair as himself, but with a cold expression, he was even more puzzled.

Think of a series of things that happened on the sea recently.

These powerhouses and this huge battleship that suddenly appeared, and an unknown country.

So many things have happened recently, are these people planning to come out and intervene?

Sure enough, the world is going to be in chaos...

Now that they know their identities, these people came to them on their own initiative, and they showed a faint hostility when they appeared. I'm afraid the suggestions they made would not be good ones...

"Your Master Changfeng, what are you going to say?"

Shanks asked with a smile.

"Master Changfeng left a word for you."

Nagato replied indifferently.

"What words?"

Seeing that the other party still had such a cold and unfriendly attitude, Shanks' eyes froze instantly.

His body slowly released his powerful domineering look.

I thought that with my own strength, I could give these guys a little shock.

Even if he couldn't have much influence on the man in front of him, at least he had to knock down a few of the subordinates following him.

But what surprised Shanks was that among the people in front of him, none of them were affected by his domineering look.

On the contrary, the sound of "dong dong dong" came from the huge battleship in the distance.

"Master Changfeng asked me to tell you, no matter what action you plan to take next, it's best not to do that."

Nagato had just finished speaking.

Several weaker subordinates behind Shanks, as well as the ordinary crew members on the ship, suddenly fell down one after another.

Obviously, this is Nagato's retaliation for the overlord's look that the opponent just displayed, using his own power to inflict equal damage to the opposite crew.

This move alone shows that he is definitely not weaker than Shanks.

"...!"

Shanks was shocked again.

I just planned to take all the crew members and try my best to prevent those big things that are about to happen.

Unexpectedly, this group of mysterious people came here.

And the one named Changfeng even left such a sentence for himself, obviously warning himself not to interfere with what happened next.

Why did the opponent know in advance that he planned to make a move?

Thinking about it in detail, Shanks was even more shocked.

Because he thought of a possibility—these things that happened on the sea recently are very likely to have something to do with this country of fire and the group of people in front of him.

"Are you from the Revolutionary Army?"

Shanks groaned.

The only explanation that can be thought of is this.

The reason why the Revolutionary Army is considered the greatest threat by the World Government is precisely because its members are spread all over the world.

Anyone you meet could be a member of the Revolutionary Army.

Now most of the pirates in the world have begun to cooperate with the revolutionary army, intending to crusade against the world government and attack the holy land of Mary Joa.

The driving force behind it is the man who was offered a reward of more than 5 billion Berry by the world government - Monkey D. Long!

Seeing that Shanks misunderstood that he was a member of the Revolutionary Army, Nagato neither admitted nor denied it.

"Remember Chang Feng's words."

With another warning, he turned around and left.

But before he turned around, Shanks chuckled.

Nagato turned his head slightly to look at the other party, and saw Shanks shaking his head.

"Feel sorry."

"Although I don't know who your Lord Changfeng is."

"We have no intention of intervening in the grievances between the revolutionary army and the world government."

"but……"

Shanks' tone changed as he spoke, and his eyes became extremely sharp.

"You cooperate with pirates all over the world to attack the world government together."

"This thing is indeed a bit inappropriate."

"Especially working with Kaido and 'bigmom', it's not a good thing."

"So, you intend to go against Master Changfeng's wishes?"

Nagato turned around completely.

An incomparably powerful aura was slowly released from his body, like an invisible wall of air, crushing towards the opposite side with overwhelming power.

At the same time, other people behind Nagato also burst out their strength.

The huge energy formed by the mixture of many powerful auras stirred up the situation, and the sky was overshadowed for a while, filled with the dullness before the rain was about to come.

There are also strong winds on the sea, and the sea water surges and rolls rapidly, forming huge waves tens of meters high.

Sensing such a powerful aura, the faces of Shanks, Ben Benkman, Jesus Bu and other strong men changed at the same time, and they also burst out their aura to fight against the terrifying pressure that permeated the world!

"Everyone, don't be impulsive."

Shanks stared at Nagato sullenly, while making gestures to stop his crew.

"We have no intention of going to war."

"Please go back and tell your Lord Changfeng and Your Excellency Long that I plan to meet and talk with them in person."

Shanks tried his best to restrain himself, avoiding a direct conflict with the group in front of him.

Judging from the strength shown by the other side, there is absolutely no benefit for the two sides to start a war now.

The best ending is nothing more than a loss for both sides.

This is not the ending Shanks wanted to see.

Hearing what he said, Nagato restrained his aura a little, and at the same time waved to the people behind him, signaling them to be calm.

"Master Changfeng, that man, 'Red Hair' Shanks intends to have a conversation with you."

Nagato used the power of the Six Paths in his mind to communicate with Changfeng.

At this moment, Changfeng was just planning to talk to Long.

"What is he going to talk about?"

Changfeng turned his gaze, and after hesitating for two seconds, he agreed to the other party's request, "Let him talk."

Knowing Shanks' character, Changfeng originally didn't intend to talk nonsense with the other party.

No matter who comes forward, it is absolutely impossible to change your own goals.

"Master Changfeng agrees to talk to you, you can hold this, and then you can talk to him."

A black rod-shaped object appeared out of thin air in Nagato's hand, and stretched it towards Shanks.

Looking at the pitch-black strange stick in front of him, Shanks frowned slightly and hesitated.

"Will you be able to talk to him by holding this thing?"

Shanks had disbelief written all over his face.

Not only him, but the crew behind him had never seen or heard of such a communication method.

In the end, Shanks decided to give it a try, so he stepped forward and reached out to hold Nagato's black chakra stick.

The moment Shanks held the black chakra stick, Shanks trembled slightly, as if getting an electric shock.

"captain!"

Seeing this scene, Ben Beckman, Jesus Bu and others who were already on high alert immediately planned to step forward to rescue them.

"I'm fine..."

Shanks regained consciousness after a brief tremor, and hurriedly reached out to stop the others.

He raised his eyes and took a deep look at Nagato.

The moment I held the Chakra black stick just now, my body and even my soul seemed to be completely seen through by the other party.

There was a mysterious and huge force pouring into his body, making him seem to have opened a certain wonderful door, and the whole world even became incomparably wonderful.

Make yourself have an illusion, as if you can communicate with everything in the world.

"Shanks."

A slightly younger voice sounded in my mind.

Immediately afterwards, a huge phantom quickly appeared between the sky and the earth in front of him.

That phantom stands tall on the surface of the sea, as if it is connected with the sea and the sky, towering above the sky and earth, it is extremely huge.

His pair of gloomy pupils shone with red light, hanging between the clouds like two huge black holes, and like a deep and unfathomable abyss.

Seeing this figure, Shanks was shocked physically and mentally again.

The body was also tightly suppressed by an irresistible force, completely unable to move!

It is really possible to have a direct dialogue with the other party in this way!

Moreover, you can also see the appearance of the other party!

This is the real body of the other party?

Unexpectedly, there is such a method in the world that can cross time and space and have a direct dialogue from the spirit and soul.

In an instant, he completely suppressed himself!

What kind of power is this...?

"You...you are Changfeng?"

Shanks came back to his senses and asked hesitantly.

"good."

"I heard you plan to chat with me. If it's all nonsense, then don't waste my time, Shanks."

"I can tell you unequivocally that overthrowing the world government is my goal, and no one can stop this plan."

"As for the things you are worried about, they are all superfluous."

Changfeng got straight to the point, and directly answered some of the questions that Shanks had in mind.

The tone is obviously very calm, but it gives people a kind of supreme majesty, and absolutely does not allow doubts and rebuttals.

Hearing this, Shanks was shocked again.

After a while, he seemed to understand something, but he relaxed all over.

"It's the first time I've experienced communication in this way."

"I don't know what kind of fruit ability this is, or it doesn't come from the power of a devil fruit at all... I really want to meet you in person."

"Having such a powerful strength is definitely not some unknown person."

"Let us speak more clearly, Changfeng."

While talking, he suddenly suggested.

"I've never heard of the Land of Fire, but I don't want to get to the bottom of where you are from and what your identity is."

"Guide the revolutionary army and the pirates to cooperate and jointly attack the world government."

"If you overthrow the world government, do you plan to ascend to that throne yourself?"

As a world-class powerhouse with no desire for power, Shanks was able to keep a bystander clear.

Just exchanged a few words with Chang Feng briefly, and deduced these purposes from what he said just now.

"Shanks, the only thing I can tell you is one sentence, if this world is controlled by me, it will be much better than it is now."

"I've finished talking, now tell me your attitude."

Changfeng's tone was flat.

Killing intent is already brewing in his heart, just waiting for Shanks' answer.

If this person still intends to be obsessed with his obsession, he insists on relying on the power of a mere "red-haired pirate group" to block his progress.

Changfeng will kill it without hesitation.

Sensing the indistinctly locked on him, even he inexplicably gave birth to a terrifying killing intent that he couldn't resist, Shanks' heart was shocked.

At the same time, he also read some other meanings from the last sentence Changfeng said just now.

"With the unprecedented power displayed by this person at this moment, there is probably no one in this world who can stop him."

"You only need the Revolutionary Army, no, it should be said that you don't even need the help of the Revolutionary Army. Just him and his subordinates are enough to cause a devastating threat and blow to the entire navy and the world government."

"Similarly, he doesn't need to cooperate with those pirates in the world at all."

"That is to say... Is there any other purpose behind the cooperation of the pirates..."

As Shanks thought about it, cold sweat unconsciously rolled down his cheeks.

He tried again, trying to break free from the opponent's hold on him.

But the body seemed to no longer belong to him, and there was no reaction at all.

Can't even move a finger!

This is the only time that such a situation has occurred in the decades since I left the Roger Pirates and formed the "Red Hair Pirates" alone, and entered the world for decades.

In the past, no matter who you were facing, even if you were sitting and drinking face to face with "the strongest man in the world", you could still calm down and not change your expression...

"Haven't you made a decision yet?"

Just when Shanks was wondering and thinking, Changfeng's voice sounded again.

"Do you want to reformulate a new pattern after breaking the inherent pattern..."

"I'm a little interested in what you said, haha."

Realizing that his own strength could not compete with the person in front of him at all, Shanks gave up struggling and replied with a hearty smile.
