Chapter 233 Shanks: I Hope Everyone Will Give Me some Face
Chapter 233 Shanks: I hope everyone will give me some face...
"Don't bother thinking about it. The Red Hair Pirates should be a pirate group that has only become prosperous in recent years. When you were working in Impel Down, they may not have made their mark yet.
But don't think that they are a small figure because of this."
"Red Hair Shanks, a crew member before Pirate King Roger, and together with another great god, Buggy the Clown, he was even able to go several rounds in the hands of Whitebeard.
He is the owner of the Conqueror's Haki, and one of the most formidable pirates in the entire ocean in the future!"
Wood's evaluation of Shanks is not low. Even when hearing Wood's evaluation of Shanks, Russ and the others were a little stunned.
They have been pirates with Wood for a while. During this period of time, they have not experienced many storms, but they have also seen a lot of pirates.
They even had the honor of meeting Shiki the Golden Lion, who was once the opponent of Pirate King Roger.
But even this legendary pirate has not received such a high evaluation from Wood.
Shiki the Golden Lion may have been a great figure before, but as he got older, and his legs were cut off, he lost his fighting spirit and was eliminated by the times.
As for Shanks, he is one of the future "Four Emperors", and he is also the youngest among the Four Emperors, and the only pirate who is not a capable person.
With such a high status and potential, even if the other party is not one of the "Four Emperors" yet, Wood will naturally give him some face.
The Red Force slowly sailed between the two sides, and Wood had already used the "Moon Step" to leave Dark Maru, and gave Robin and the others a wink to let them leave here as soon as possible.
When Qingjiao from the Eight Treasures Navy saw that Dark Maru was about to escape, he also hurriedly ordered his subordinates to turn the rudder and catch up.
And when Wood saw the actions of the Eight Treasures Navy, he immediately planned to draw the long sword at his waist and perform a slash to stop the other party, but someone attacked the Eight Treasures Navy faster than him!
On the Red Fors, a terrifying sword energy easily split the sea surface of hundreds of kilometers and shot towards the main ship of the Babao Navy with an absolutely sharp and unmatched posture.
When seeing this terrifying sword energy about to chop their hull, Qingjiao, the pillar of the Babao Navy, also jumped up, and his huge hands turned into a black copper color with a metallic luster at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In fact, the part where Qingjiao is best at using the Armament Haki is his head.
Looking at the slash in front of him that is comparable to that of a great swordsman, Qingjiao originally wanted to use his head to receive it.
But when he thought of his conical head being beaten into a bun by Garp before, Qingjiao finally thought about it.
It’s not that Qingjiao’s head is not iron enough, but his fists are actually quite strong...
The two fists, which are as big as an ordinary person’s head, are covered by the Armament Haki, like two huge hammers.
And when the slash of the Red Fors was about to burst, Qingjiao also punched with both fists at the same time.
The moment the fist and the slash collided, the originally calm sea surface suddenly began to stir up huge waves.
Where Qingjiao's fist collided with the slash, the invisible air waves turned into waves of ripples, blowing his clothes rustling.
At the beginning, Qingjiao was full of confidence in taking this slash.
However, after the real contact, he sensed through his trembling arms that the power and gravity of this slash were far beyond his imagination.
Feeling a numbness in his arms, Qingjiao was finally unable to resist this huge slash, but tried his best to change the trajectory of the attack, and his huge body was hit and fell back on the ship.
Although the deflected slash deviated from the main ship where Qingjiao was, it flew to the pirate ship on the far left at an astonishing speed, and directly split the large pirate group into two!
The people of the Eight Treasures Navy are all proficient in water. Although the pirate ship was split into two, except for the unlucky ones who were hit by the slash, everyone else basically survived.
However, a large pirate ship is also a huge asset. Now it has been cut off by others. As the leader of the Eight Treasures Navy, Qingjiao's expression at this moment is naturally very ugly.
"Red-haired Shanks, what do you mean now?
Do you want to decide the ownership of the prey before fighting the navy traitors?"
Compared with Wood and others who have just entered the New World, the Eight Treasures Navy has naturally heard of the "Red Hair Pirates" who have made some name in the New World in recent years.
But Qingjiao himself did not expect that the red-haired Shanks was so strong.
Although they had never met before, judging from the strength of the slash just now, Qingjiao felt that his chances of winning were not great.
Regardless, they lost the battle, and the Eight Treasures Navy has nearly a thousand people, while the Red Hair Pirates only have a few people. Once a fight starts, they may not be afraid!
Hearing Qing Jiao's question, a young man with red hair on the Red Forces also sheathed his sword Griffin, and then jumped directly to the mast of the pirate ship.
"Actually, I don't have any other intentions. I just want to ask the leader of the Eight Treasures Navy, Qing Jiao, to give me a favor and let the navy traitor Wood and his pirate group go this time, how about it?"
At this moment, Shanks' straw hat was gone, and one of his arms was missing. It was obvious that he had met the real overlord of the East China Sea and had bet his arm on the future.
However, what Shanks said not only stunned Qingjiao, but also stunned Wood, who was originally planning to take action.
Shanks would let the other party give him some face, which did not seem strange to Wood. After all, who in the whole sea dared not give my red-haired brother three points of face after eating the face fruit.
But the point was that Shanks wanted the other party to give face for Wood, which puzzled Wood.
Admittedly, he knew Shanks, and he had a certain understanding of the other party.
But that was because Wood was a time traveler. As for coming to this world, Wood thought he had never seen Shanks, and he should not have any friendship with the other party.
"I see, so you are not coming for Bailey on the pirate traitor's ship, but to save them?"
Qingjiao originally thought that Shanks and his men were competitors, but after hearing what Shanks said, he was stunned.
"You want to save the navy traitor and his pirate group. Even if my Eight Treasures Navy is willing to give you a little face, can you stop all other pirate groups?"
From the brief fight just now, Qingjiao has confirmed that they are not strong enough to fight Shanks, but since the opponent is not a competitor, but on the side of Wood and his group, Qingjiao is not panicked at all.
Because it is not only their Eight Treasures Navy that is eyeing Wood and his pirate group!
