Chapter 1309
The development of the matter was somewhat beyond the expectations of the red-haired pirate group. They only thought that the pirate group was a bit deadly, but they still underestimated the degree of their deadly.
When Beckman's patience was exhausted, he simply pulled out his own rifle and sent all the bandits on the road.
"It's true, there are always endless brain damages in this world." Putting away his Rifle, Beckman said helplessly. He himself felt ashamed to let him, a vice-captain of the Four Emperors, who was close to the strength of a general, clean up these five dregs of the war.
Naturally, the scene where Shanks lost his arm in the original book was also staged again, but this time Shanks was not bitten off his arm. Compared with the original book, his strength in all aspects has been improved.
The mere lord of the coastal waters, even if he was trying to save someone, he wouldn't even think about hurting him at all.
Of course, even the reason why he lost his arm in the original book is still controversial, but it is a fool to delve into this kind of BUG. After all, whether it is reality or others, there are always many unexplainable things.
Chapter 185 Meeting Again
As before, Shanks left the straw hat to Luffy as a testimony and agreement of mutual belief.
Afterwards, Shanks and others stayed in the village for a few more days and bought a lot of necessary supplies before leaving.
"Shanks, just watch, I will definitely go to sea, and I will appear in front of you in a very strong way. I will be the One Piece." Luffy put on a straw hat and gave Shanks a big thumbs up. thumb.
After making an agreement again, Shanks said goodbye to Luffy, and when he was about to board the boat, he stopped.
"What's wrong with Shanks?" Beckman wondered, he felt something was wrong with the captain at this time.
Shanks looked into the distance, and when his eyes became a little farther away, there was a forest there, and there was a highland deep in the forest.
Suddenly, he showed a deep smile and said, "Beckman, wait for me on the boat for a while, I have something to deal with."
"Hey, wait..." Beckman was about to ask a question, but Shanks' figure had already rushed out, and disappeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"It's such a bad luck for me to have such a captain." Beckman sighed, turned and went to the boat.
...
In the forest, Shanks' figure moved quickly.
The forest wind blew, and the leaves made rustling sounds under his fast movement.
After a while, he stopped in front of the high ground, and a figure in a black robe turned around with a smile.
"Long time no see, Shanks." The calm words and gentle smile are no different from when we parted more than ten years ago, and the years have not left even the slightest trace on him.
The perfect fusion of gestures and surroundings, if Shanks hadn't practiced "Sword Qi Thunder" for many years, I'm afraid he would be regarded as a tree or a stone.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, Shanks saluted deeply, "Teacher, long time no see!"
Smiling and waving his hands, he didn't respond to Shanks' address Xuan. Although he said that he didn't accept Shanks as his disciple, the other party kept calling him that, and he didn't deny it.
"Teacher, why are you here?" Shanks asked directly when he raised his head.
Since the disbandment of the Roger Pirates, the news of the God of Time and Space has disappeared on this sea. Many people tried to find it, but all of them were fruitless without exception.
In these years, news about the death of the God of Time and Space has been circulating, but there is not much market.
Just like the news that Rayleigh has died is often circulated in the sea, what he really knows is just a joke.
"I came here to take a look at the future protagonist, and you have already seen it." Xuan said with a smile without hiding anything.
Shanks stepped forward and stood at a position almost parallel to Xuan. From Xuan's perspective, he was suddenly taken aback, because looking down from this hillside, he could have a panoramic view of the entire Windmill Village.
But in fact, there was only a forest in front of them, and the weird and natural scene presented in front of him, which made him shocked and moved at the same time.
Sure enough, the teacher is still a teacher, and after so many years, he is still unfathomable.
"Teacher, are you referring to Luffy?" Shanks asked. He had these thoughts when he met Luffy. The scene at that time was very similar to Xuan deliberately leading him to meet Luffy.
"What is the so-called protagonist?"
Xuan waved his hands and said with a smile, "Protagonist, of course, is a literal meaning. A work, or a play, or even a world, must have a protagonist before it can be played. Many worlds have different interpretations of these two words. When your strength reaches a certain level, you will have your own understanding, but the protagonist of the previous generation was Roger, so you should be able to understand something."
"Yeah!" Shanks stared, a little uncertain, "That kid, Luffy, can he really become the Pirate King?"
If someone else said something like this, Shanks would sneer. If One Piece is so good, the four emperors and so many big pirates don't have to struggle desperately in the new world.
You must know that the cruelty of the new world is far beyond anyone's imagination. In addition to the most powerful four emperors, there are dozens of pirates of the Qiwuhai level criss-crossing the sea. The next-level pirates are more.
Without the strength of hundreds of millions of rewards, there is no qualification to enter at all.
Even the strongest white beard now dare not say lightly whether he can become the One Piece.
Xuan smiled and said, "That's not what it means, being the Pirate King is not the criterion for judging the protagonist, because he is the protagonist, and his goal is to become the Pirate King, so there is a result that he will definitely be the Pirate King in the future, The same goes for Roger, don't mistake cause and effect."
Shanks blinked, as if he understood, but in fact he was still at a loss.
Xuan did not explain further, the things that involve the cause and effect of the world are the most difficult to understand, they are the foundation of everything and the most profound rules. It's like an ordinary person going to popularize things in the microscopic field of quantum mechanics, and it's impossible for him to fully understand.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, you have given Roger's straw hat to him, does it mean that you are also very optimistic about this kid. Then when what I just said does not exist, you believe in your vision and look forward to it. gone."
Shanks nodded, "Well, I still admire Luffy. There is something special about him, the same as that of the former captain. I have never seen this kind of light in another person."
"But teacher, you taught that guy Mihawk's swordsmanship, right?"
The topic shifted from Luffy, and Shanks asked the question he had wanted to know for a long time.
From the fight with Hawkeye many years ago, he has noticed that the opponent's sword intent is similar to his own, not because of the same sword moves, but a similar realm and understanding of the sword.
It's just that he never saw Xuan again after that, and the doubts in his heart couldn't be answered.
Speaking of Mihawk, he was a headache. When it comes to his attachment to the sword, he is more than himself. Even in the new world, the two have met several times.
From the previous advantage to the current complete parity, Shanks sometimes wonders when he will be surpassed by the opponent silently.
Chapter 186 Hawkeye and Bloodsail
The conversation between Xuan and Shanks didn't last too long.
The two talked about the old days, and Xuan also gave him a few pointers at will, which made Shanks suddenly understand some key points.
The more he comprehends "Sword Qi and Thunder Sound", the more difficult it is for him to enter.
After all, it is a power system from other worlds, and its compatibility with Pirate World is not high. That is to say, geniuses with extremely high talents like Shanks and Hawkeye can comprehend, but most pirates can't even pass the first level.
After bidding farewell to Xuan, Shanks returned to his boat and left Windmill Village.
And Xuan didn't stay too long, nor did he have other relationships with Lu Fei, and left on his own small leaf.
...
The blue sea and blue sky, compared to the bad weather on the great waterway, the East China Sea is like a shy little girl.
