Chapter 259
But if you say he is timid, he is extremely courageous.
Therefore, Bai has no doubts about the operations of Yunyin Village and Kingdom of Thunder.
As a result, the pirates could not retreat at all, and the White Zetsus were not brainless and kept stalling for time.
Until this time, both sides had truly come down from the frontal battlefield, and only pursuers appeared from time to time.
Shiro also returned to the ship after repelling Sasuke on Itachi's behalf.
"It seems that Sasuke's strength has improved a lot."
"Although Orochimaru is not a good person, he always keeps his word. Even if he gives Sasuke a Devil Fruit, it won't be too bad."
Kakuzu complained.
Itachi, the elder brother, made clear arrangements for his younger brother, using all his favors and sophistication, but he was cut off by Orochimaru.
This kind of thing is nothing under normal circumstances, but when it comes to Orochimaru and Itachi, Orochimaru obviously jumps out deliberately to disgust people.
"Shiro, how about it? You didn't beat Sasuke to death, did you?"
Deidara greeted Bai happily, with a cheerful smile on his face, and spoke without any hesitation.
Deidara's character seemed a bit incompatible with the rest of the Revolutionary Army. During the time this guy came to the Pirate Alliance, he had already become familiar with the pirates.
"No, Sasuke is difficult to deal with, but..."
Shiro looked at Kakuzu and Kisame, who seemed to be waiting for him, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"What happened?"
"Big things have happened in the new world. Although there is no specific news yet, it is basically confirmed."
It's not confirmed because the world government and the underground black market intelligence organizations haven't released the complete information yet.
When Bai arrived at the conference room of the largest pirate ship, even "Itachi", who had not appeared here for a long time, was present.
Also present were Ross Jess, Kagaro, One-Eyed Ghost Dragon and several other big pirates.
Orochimaru looked gloomy as he looked at the reward list on the table, which was the reward list for the Golden Lion.
"Ci Xuan, the captain of the Golden Lion Pirates, possesses the strongest armed color and Haki. His identity is suspected to be a noble of an ancient country related to the Grayl Stone incident in the Kingdom of Wind.
Ability to exert power far beyond its own. "
"Devil Fruit has unknown abilities, including the ability to fly and control inanimate objects.
He rescued the captured pirates in the Kingdom of Wind and had a battle with Jiraiya. "
“After that, he became the overlord of the Western Sea, and almost all the big pirates in the entire Western Sea were taken under his command.
Reward amount: 1.5 billion taels. "
Orochimaru's tone was solemn.
1.5 billion taels... After doing so many things, the reward amount was only 1.5 billion taels.
Even less than myself.
And more importantly... this guy actually appeared in the Kingdom of Wind. If it was before, forget it, but now in Orochimaru's view, the Golden Lion had obviously been watching him and Shanks in the Kingdom of Wind.
From that moment on, the other party was already planning.
The more he thought about this, the brighter Orochimaru's eyes became, and the confusion in his mind was directly suppressed by Orochimaru.
At this moment, Orochi's mind was extremely clear. He was not furious, but sober.
"It looks like the Devil Fruit has awakened. The Golden Lion has taken action for the first time, and it has awakened so early."
Bai opened his mouth and said, his words made everyone's breath stop for a moment.
"Has this guy already awakened by that time?"
"..."
The more this happened, the more everyone felt that the Golden Lion was dangerous. After all, at that time, even they didn't know that Devil Fruit could be awakened.
However, people have actually woken up.
They are not familiar with the Golden Lion because the Golden Lion does not belong to any force and has not shown any great ambitions.
But at this moment, the Golden Lion simply appeared out of thin air, just like Shanks back then.
This time, he truly appeared in front of everyone, and he appeared in front of the world as the Four Emperors.
Faced with the appearance of the golden lion, everyone fell silent.
Until the sun rises the next day, the sea is full of news birds carrying the latest newspapers, and the ninja world is also full of crows carrying news.
Within a short period of time, people all over the world were shocked.
There were no battle scenes in the newspaper, no photos of Shanks, just huge ravines cut out of the Red Continent with a single knife.
And the river that flowed backwards that day in the ravine.
"Shanks was injured and admitted personally that a second Yonko will appear soon, named Golden Lion!"
"Shocking!! The end island of the new world."
"The strongest armed color, the golden lion, shakes the strongest position!"
"..."
Countless news spread throughout the ninja world, and everyone from pirates to navy, from nobles to civilians, was stunned.
After the silence, everyone became excited.
The strongest position was finally taken away...
At this moment, the name of the Golden Lion was all over the sky of the Ninja World. After that extremely powerful overlord, the name of the Golden Lion resounded throughout the entire Ninja World.
Chapter 258: The Kingdom of Ghosts, the Demon-Slaying Order
Shanks appeared nearly two years ago. Since the Great Pirates Era, the position of the Four Emperors has been vacant.
Shanks' powerful strength and his courage to suppress the era have raised the position of the "Four Emperors" to extremely outrageous heights.
Although the "Four Emperors" don't sound as powerful as the "Six Paths Sage", because of the existence of Shanks, the "Four Emperors" of this era are the strong ones who suppress the current generation in any era.
Although Cixuan did not seem to have experienced so many setbacks, he had not done any earth-shattering things, and he had not appeared in front of the public in the world.
But for this position, Cixuan was both strong and courageous.
Compared with Orochimaru's various efforts and schemes, everything Ci Xuan did was much simpler, because he was different from Orochimaru.
What he possesses is enough to leave Orochimaru several blocks behind. If Orochimaru relies on his own short-term efforts to catch up with Ci Xuan, that would be a real idiot's dream.
Ci Xuan has too much capital, including the "accumulation of the Otsutsuki clan", the other Ten-Tails he stole, his own strength and talent, and the sinking and tempering of his will after being plotted against. .
Thousands of long years, this is Cixuan's capital. The moment he appeared, his identity was destined to be different from Orochimaru.
But can you say that Cixuan is not qualified? No, no one is more qualified than him.
On the understanding of the new era, Ci Xuanyou.
In terms of spirit, Ci Xuan has it.
In terms of strength, Cixuan has the same.
The appearance of Ci Xuan was extremely outrageous to the entire ninja world.
But the reality is often even more outrageous. For example, a person like Huo Qubing has never suffered hardship since he was a child. Not only does he live well and have plenty of food and clothing, but he also has a high status and is also very good at fighting.
They are born with more capital than you, and they are more talented than you, and they work harder.
Under such conditions, what could Orochimaru do to compete with Ci Xuan? What do others compare to Cixuan?
"Are you from an ancient country? Thousands of years of accumulation are indeed no joke."
“Although this is the fact, I am somewhat unwilling to do so.
The position of the Four Emperors..."
People looked at the newspapers in their hands. The name of the golden lion "Ji Xuan" was printed on it. The photos were from the battle between the Kingdom of Wind and Jiraiya.
The Golden Lion, whose body is on the verge of collapse, exudes frightening power. You can feel that pressure just from the photo.
In the newspaper, in addition to the photos and what the Golden Lion did, there was also a description of the battle between Shanks and the Golden Lion.
These descriptions are all written through Shanks' original words.
To sum it up, Shanks was slightly injured and Golden Lion was seriously injured.
Just such a description without much specific information is enough.
Because this has allowed everyone to see the gap, the gap between them and the four emperors.
In the taverns of the Country of Tea, the bounty hunters and merchant guards also had sad faces. They really couldn't accept this happening.
"Someone has already caught up with Shanks. This era...has left us all behind."
"How can someone possess such great strength in such a short period of time? It's impossible even for people from ancient countries.
If they could really do it, they would have ushered in a new era long ago. "
"It can't be true, this kind of thing..."
The drunkards in the corner drank the wine in their hands directly. They could accept the gap between Shanks and them.
Because in their opinion, Shanks is not a human at all, but now someone is chasing him.
The existence of the golden lion tells the world that Shanks is also a human being. If Shanks can do it, they can do it too.
Because the Golden Lion is too low-key, because he has no so-called immortal status, no so-called world noble status, but only the status of a forgotten "ancient country".
This identity has no value to ordinary people and has no filter.
But Shanks is different. When Shanks changed the world, his identity already had a different "characteristic". Just the words "Red-haired Shanks" had already brought it with him. There is an untouchable "divinity".
But the golden lion is different. His appearance tells everyone in this world that everyone can reach this height.
You can't achieve it because you don't work hard enough, aren't smart enough, and aren't sinister enough.
It's because you are cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death, and because your courage as minions is not worthy of surviving in the new world.
Cixuan didn't say anything, but it was meaningless. The dignity of most people in this world had been crushed to the ground by him.
"Instead of questioning, it's better to go to the New World and see if that lion has the qualifications to be compared with the red hair."
The tavern owner Sancha tore Shanks' reward list off the bar.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"Although the Golden Lion has become the Yonko, Shanks is still the strongest Yonko. There is no need to tear it off."
"No, what I mean is... our store will be relocated next. Let's consider today as the last time our store opens in the land of tea."
Sancha looked at the description in the newspaper. In addition to the description of the golden lion, there was also something more important - the Red Earth Continent.
This is something that some people ignore, because for ordinary people, this kind of land is nothing worth fighting for.
But for another group of people, it was completely different. Sancha could see that, but he had no ambition. He just didn't want to spend money to buy land.
Just as Sancha was explaining, a scent of flowers floated in, and then a samurai pushed open the door of the tavern.
The samurai was wearing a colorful cloak, which seemed out of place compared to the other people in the tavern.
This person was Eric, the flower warrior who was in the Flower Islands at the time, and he had the special dragon vein power belonging to the Flower Islands.
"I, am I not here at the right time?"
"It's the right time. Today is the last day. Next I'm going to the Red Earth Continent."
Sancha smiled, and Eric found a seat and sat down casually, looking at the other people in the tavern.
Some people were regretful, some were struggling, and some seemed to have made some decisions.
"It seems that the Golden Lion becoming the Four Emperors has a great impact on the Ninja World and the World Government."
Eric sighed, but it was impossible for him to appear in front of Shanks for the time being, the actual gap was too big.
