Chapter 691 Red Hair's Killing! (2 in 1)

There was a loud thunder in the night. At the moment when Shanks and Sengoku swept over with their domineering power, all the Celestial Dragons in the holy land of life, Malinjo, could clearly feel a terrifying pressure suddenly descending upon them.

The domineering aura spread over a hundred miles and soon enveloped the entire holy land. Even ordinary people living in the Sabaody Archipelago were affected to a certain extent and experienced inexplicable palpitations in their sleep.

Most of the Celestial Dragons who lived in luxury were turned into useless people by Im and the Five Elder Stars. Under this mixed wave of domineering aura, they had no way of staying awake and fell into a coma after the impact.

The Celestial Dragon town, which was originally brightly lit and somewhat bustling, soon became silent.

At this time, Yoshiichi Tsugumi was stepping into the corridor leading to the underground palace. After walking a few meters, he felt a terrifying domineering aura sweeping over the surface of the ground. After feeling it carefully, he also recognized the breath of Shanks.

At first he thought there was something wrong with his perception, until the moment when Shanks' domineering aura exploded, he realized that there was nothing wrong with his perception.

The Red-Haired Shanks did appear in the Holy Land, and is now fighting with Sengoku.

Realizing this, Jiguo Yuanyi paused for a moment and turned back involuntarily to look in the direction of the battlefield, with a hint of thought in his deep eyes.

The appearance of Shanks was really beyond his expectations, and what surprised him even more was that Shanks, who appeared in the holy land, actually fought with Sengoku.

Yoshiichi Tsugikuni was able to guess that Shanks should be the "helper" found by Garin-sensei. It was not an easy task for Sengoku to deal with Garin-sensei alone. Now that Garin-sensei has the help of Red-haired Shanks, it is impossible for Sengoku to deal with these two people at the same time.

It is foreseeable that with the cooperation of these two people, it is only a matter of time before the Warring States is defeated.

This brings us to a problem that is faced by Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

Now, should he go find Yimu first, or help Zhan Guo repel the enemy first? !

Yoshiichi Tsugakuni has some friendship with Shanks. To be honest, if possible, he really doesn't want to be on the opposite side of Shanks.

Yoshiichi Tsugakuni could tolerate Shanks walking in the New World under the guise of a "pirate", and even when Shanks made a big name for himself in the New World and became the most powerful pirate force in the New World, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni could turn a blind eye.

The reason is very simple, because Yoshiichi Tsugakuni knows Shanks's Iron Wall Pirates. Although they are pirates, they have not actually done anything to endanger the safety of the people.

On the contrary, the strength of the Red Hair Pirates also indirectly helped the new navy stabilize the management and power vacancies left after the old generation of pirates were killed by Tsugakure Yoshiichi, which indirectly helped the new navy stabilize the situation.

But from this point of view, Yoriichi Tsugakuni should still thank Shanks.

However, this is the limit of Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's tolerance for the Red Hair Pirates. Attacking the Holy Land is the most important strategic goal of the New Navy, and Yoshiichi Tsugakuni will never allow anyone to stand in his way.

No matter who the obstacle is, Yoriichi Tsugakuni will clear it away, even if it is Shanks, with whom he has some friendship.

What made Tsugumi Yoshiichi feel conflicted and embarrassed at this moment was not the friendship between him and Shanks, but the fact that he was worried that if he helped Sengoku and took action against Shanks and Garin Sei, there would be a risk of exposing his trump card.

Yoshiichi Tsugakuni was not surprised that Shanks and the Holy Land had such a close connection. In fact, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni had already guessed about Shanks' identity.

His hesitation now was only because he was weighing the pros and cons of helping the Warring States.

If he didn't help Sengoku, Shanks and Garin would probably rush to help Im as soon as they had dealt with the enemy. Even Yunyi knew very little about Im's background. If possible, he would not have to worry about other strong people in the battle with Im.

Shanks is a much more difficult guy than Garin Sheng.

Shanks' domineering aura is very strong, so strong that it can even threaten the life of Tsugakuni Yoriichi. Although without the blessing of the mythical beast devil fruit, Shanks' physical strength is far from comparable to that of Tsugakuni Yoriichi, but relying on the divine avoidance, Tsugakuni Yoriichi must also be careful when facing Shanks.

And Shanks' abilities are not just that. His observation Haki has also reached the world's top level. He may be the second top powerhouse in the world who possesses the ability to kill with observation.

Although Shanks' ability to see and kill is of limited effect in front of Yoriichi Tsugakuni thanks to his transparent world, if Yoriichi Tsugakuni has an enemy like Shanks by his side when fighting with Im, it will also cause Yoriichi Tsugakuni great trouble.

Even with Shanks' assistance, it is not impossible for Jiguoyuan to die in the holy land.

Can Zhan Guo hold on until he kills Im and comes back to help? !

In fact, Tsugumi Yuichiro already had the answer to this question in his heart.

It's impossible to stop it.
Im's strength is unfathomable. Although it was Yuichiro Tsugikuni who took the initiative in the previous fights, Yuichiro didn't know whether Im had any useless trump cards.

Once Tsugumi Yoshiichi's pace is slowed down, Shanks and Garin Sei will probably be able to quickly get rid of Sengoku and encircle and suppress them.

The only variable here may be Shanks's stance.

Jiguo Yuanyi knows Shanks well. This guy is not the kind of person who would just follow orders blindly. This is closely related to the environment in which Shanks grew up.

He used to be a trainee crew member on the pirate group Roger's ship. This kind of growth experience also enhanced his "freedom" aura. Although it cannot change his identity as a Celestial Dragon, Shanks' style of doing things is extremely different from that of the Celestial Dragons.

But then again, it's impossible for Yoshiichi Tsugakuni to bet everything on Shanks' identity and position.

From the past to now, he has never figured out what Shanks is planning to do.

He looks like a traveler who enjoys freedom; or like a follower who wants to help his captain realize his dream.

But the strange thing is that Shanks is an awakened person with domineering Haki, and the ambitions in the heart of such a person are unimaginable to others.

Luffy, who doesn't want to become the Pirate King, cannot awaken the Conqueror's Haki; just as if what Sengoku pursued was not "justice that dominates the world", he would not be able to awaken the Conqueror's Haki.

The Conqueror's Haki and the ambition of the awakener are closely bound together. Only those with ambitions that match the Conqueror's Haki can awaken the Conqueror's Haki.

After thinking for a moment, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had already made up his mind.

The appearance of Shanks brought a huge risk to his action this time. To be on the safe side, it is better to eliminate this risk first.

It has been such a long time since he and Zhan Guo ascended the holy land, but Im is still staying in his underground palace and has not left. The battle on the surface is so loud that it is impossible for Im not to sense it.

It seems that Im did not feel the threat posed by himself and Sengoku, or it could be said that Im was full of confidence in himself and did not think that Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Sengoku were a threat.

Since Yim is so confident, even if we eliminate the two hidden dangers first and then deal with Yim, she probably won't be able to escape from the holy land.

Thinking of this, Jigoku Yoshiichi also turned around and left the corridor leading to the underground palace, and walked towards the battlefield in the distance.

The aura on the battlefield slowly dissipated, and Zhan Guo's feet were already deeply sunk into the ground, and the golden giant Buddha's calves were almost completely sunk into the ground. It was not easy for Zhan Guo to block Shanks' attack, as Shanks's divine evasion was even better than that of Roger who was seriously ill back then.

"call--"

The smoke and dust in front of him gradually dissipated, and Sengoku exhaled heavily. He crossed his hands slightly, and looked through the gaps between his palms at Shanks not far away. Sengoku's eyes became unusually solemn and sharp.

It seemed very easy for Shanks to deliver the slash he just delivered, but he used all his strength to block it.

At this time, Shanks also left an unfathomable first impression on Sengoku's heart. The oppressive feeling Shanks brought to him was even heavier than that of Garin Sheng before.

"Red-haired Shanks"

"Although I have never heard of any impressive achievements by the Red Hair Pirates, there are wrong names in this world, but there are no wrong nicknames."

“The most domineering man.”

"When you put these words on this guy, there is no sense of incongruity at all."

"Except for Yoriichi, I'm afraid no one is stronger than him in this domineering aura."

Zhan Guo whispered in his heart, and then without hesitation, he chose to take the initiative.

The huge golden Buddha leaped up and arrived in front of Shanks in just a blink of an eye. A pair of huge Buddha palms slapped Shanks rapidly, the speed was so fast that it was almost instantaneous in the eyes of others.

Sengoku's devil fruit can actually be regarded as a kind of mythical beast. His physical functions are greatly enhanced. Coupled with his inherent strong domineering aura and excellent combat skills, his combat power can stand at the top of the world.

As the admiral of the navy, Sengoku was one of the strongest forces in the headquarters of the navy. The strength of the navy that was able to fight against great pirates like Whitebeard and Roger in that era was unquestionable.

"As expected of the Buddha's Warring States!"

Shanks stared slightly at the attack and said something in his heart, obviously he was also shocked by Sengoku's explosive power.

After so many years of debut, Shanks seldom faced top-level masters like Sengoku, and there was a rare hint of excitement in his eyes.

It was a desire to fight that was engraved in his bones. Although it was never expressed on weekdays, it was aroused at this moment.

It has to be said that Shanks was deeply influenced by Pirate King Roger.

In a sense, Shanks is the one who truly inherited Roger's will, while Ace merely inherited Roger's bloodline and talent.

Shanks tilted the long sword in his hand and quickly blocked his body. Facing the massive attack from Sengoku, Shanks actually chose to take it head-on.

However, compared to Shanks's slash, Sengoku's shock wave is not so easy to resist.

The moment the sword and palm collided, a strong shock wave easily broke through Shanks' defense and poured directly onto Shanks' body.

"boom!!!!"

A sonic boom accompanied by splashing smoke and dust quickly spread around, and at this moment Shanks' figure turned into a black shadow and flew backwards.

Shanks clearly blocked Sengoku's palm strike, but he was not able to block Sengoku's attack.

It is blocked, but not completely blocked, such as blocked.

The characteristics of the shock wave were fully utilized at this moment, causing Shanks, who was not very familiar with Sengoku's abilities, to suffer a small loss right at the beginning.

The black shadow flew backwards a hundred meters and then crashed directly to the ground, creating a deep pit.

But not long after, Shanks slowly stood up with his long sword in hand, casually brushed off the dust on his body, and then walked out of the pit.

An attack of this magnitude from Sengoku only caused blood to flow from the corner of Shanks' mouth. For him, it was just a minor injury.

Although he looked a little embarrassed, at this moment Shanks had a better understanding of Sengoku's devil fruit ability.

Indeed, when Sengoku was an admiral of the navy, he also participated in the hunt for the Roger Pirates. He even helped Yoriichi Tsugakuni to set traps to completely destroy the Roger Pirates. When Shanks was on Roger's ship, he saw Sengoku take action.

But back then, he was just a "small fry" on Roger's ship in the eyes of outsiders, and no one would take him seriously. A figure of Sengoku's level was naturally not something a little kid like Shanks could deal with.

Therefore, Shanks, who has not experienced it personally, has no way of knowing the full picture of Sengoku's abilities.

But now, Shanks, who had a brief fight with Sengoku, has already glimpsed some of his abilities, and he has also thought of a way to deal with it.

Shock wave.
Although the attack range is large, the attack strength does not seem to be very strong.
Shanks stood in place, lightly dancing with his sword, with confidence and determination on his face. Under Sengoku's gaze, Shanks' breath suddenly disappeared in Sengoku's observation Haki perception pre-field.

"Well?!"

Suddenly without Shanks' scent, Sengoku couldn't help but let out a quiet murmur, quite surprised.

After blinking and confirming that Shanks was still in front of him, the look in Sengoku's eyes when he looked at Shanks also changed.

Killing by sight?!
Shanks has actually reached that realm just like Yoriichi Tsugakuni!
This discovery made Zhan Guo's hair stand on end.

The gap between the top strong men is actually very small. In terms of domineering, physical fitness, and devil fruit ability, the truly top strong men can reach the top in these three aspects.

But seeing and hearing killing is an ability from another field!

There is a gap between the strong ones who have the ability to kill with sight and hearing and the ordinary strong ones.

In front of a strong man who can kill anyone, an ordinary strong man is just a lamb that can be killed at will.

Tsugumi Yoshiichi is such a person, and now, Sengoku has seen a second strong man with this ability.
