Chapter 694: God's Avoidance (2 in 1)

"Isn't this my battlefield?!"

This was the second time that Yoshiichi Tsugumi had heard such words from Shanks, which showed how much Shanks agreed with his idea.

Tsugikoku Yuanyi murmured softly, and when he looked at Shanks again, his gaze had changed. He seemed to understand what Shanks was thinking. He and Shanks were actually walking on two completely opposite paths.

"Shanks, if this isn't my battlefield, then whose battlefield do you think it should be?"

Tsugakuin Yoshiichi asked the question, but when he said this, he already had a clear answer in his mind. Without waiting for Shanks to answer, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi continued:
"What the hell is wrong with the people in this world?!"

"When did you guys get sick?"

"You, Mr. Karp, and the former bear, Abel."

"You guys clearly have the ideas to change the world and possess powerful abilities, but why are you always waiting?"

“Who exactly are you expecting to make changes?”

"Joyboy?"

"When will people stop believing that there is no so-called savior in this world, and there is no god or emperor who can bring peace to this world?"

"You. No, we!"

"Aren't our own hands the only things we can rely on?!"

"You are all sick, and very sick, sick to the bone marrow, and there is no cure!"

At this moment, Tsugikuni Yoshiichirō showed rare annoyance, and his words made Shanks fall into silence.

Although Shanks's observation Haki had no effect on Tsugakuin Yoriichi, how could he not feel Tsugakuin Yoriichi's exposed emotions at this moment?
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni seemed a little surprised and disappointed, and at the same time, there was a strong sense of anger among these emotions. Shanks didn't know what Yoshiichi Tsugakuni was angry about.

Maybe some things that are incomprehensible to Jiguo Yuanyi are taken for granted in Shanks' eyes.
"Joey Boy. Since you know this name, you must have heard of the prophecy, right?!"

"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, I know much more than you do. Joyboy, the savior, is real!"

"The drum of liberation has been sounded. Someone who can change this world has appeared. Someone who can unlock the great secret treasure has also appeared."

"It's just a pity that that person is not you."

"I always thought that person would be you, but later I knew I was wrong."

"Your failure is inevitable. It's not because of your inability, but fate!"

"Leave the holy land. It's for your own good."

"Since you are doomed to fail, staying in the Holy Land will only threaten your own life."

"As a friend, this is what I sincerely want to warn you!"

Shanks' thoughts were seen through by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, but Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's thoughts were also exposed to Shanks.

Tsuguki Yuichi had visited the holy land several times, and what he was going to do was actually well known to all the Tianlong people. And it was precisely because of this that the Tianlong people were so secretive about the name Tsuguki Yuichi.

However, the surviving celestial dragons still maintained their usual "sense of relaxation", and the appearance of Yoriichi Tsugikuni did not bring much change to their lives.

After experiencing a brief period of pain, the surviving Celestial Dragons still enjoy a luxurious life as before and lead their own "boring" life.

Because the celestial dragons also know that no matter what, as long as they can survive, they don’t have to worry that such a life will disappear one day.

In the long 800-year history since the establishment of the World Government, Tsugikoku Yoriichi was not the first person to attack the Celestial Dragons, but so what?!

Those former great enemies of the Celestial Dragons have all disappeared in the long river of history and are no longer remembered.

Yoriichi Tsugikoku will not be the first strong man to ascend to the holy land, nor will he be the last strong man to ascend to the holy land.

The world is changing all the time, but the absolute ruling position of the Celestial Dragons remains unchanged and has never changed.

The Celestial Dragons firmly believe this, and Shanks, who was raised by Pirate King Roger, actually believes this as well.
Fate: No matter if it is a powerful and free pirate like Shanks, or a celestial dragon who is kept in captivity in the holy land, all of them are firmly trapped in the shackles called "fate".

Why would a pirate like Shanks be so convinced of such a fate and devote half his life to it? !

Thinking about it carefully, it might be because Shanks was too deeply influenced by Pirate King Roger.
Yes, even Roger, who is called the Pirate King, even the Pirate King whom Luffy believes to be the freest in the world, is also trapped in the cage of fate.

He had been searching for the truth all his life, but it was not until he arrived in Raftel that he realized how ridiculous what he had been chasing all his life was.

After his death, Roger failed to become the richest man in the world, failed to become the most powerful man in the world, and also failed to become the person who could completely change the underlying framework of the world.

Pirate King Roger has accomplished nothing in his life
Roger's life is actually also affecting Shanks. As a celestial dragon, Shanks' thoughts are actually also influenced by many aspects.

The influence of the Celestial Dragons and the influence of Roger.

But these two people from different forces do have one very strange thing in common, that is, whether it is the Celestial Dragons or Roger, they all firmly believe that Joy Boy is real.
Roger had a wish. He wished he could live in the same era as Joy Boy and see with his own eyes what kind of guy Joy Boy was.

At the same time, he felt very sorry that he could not wait to see Joey Boy appear in this world again.

But Shanks can wait for the person that Roger cannot wait for.

Roger's obsession also became Shanks' obsession. The top people in this world all have an incomprehensible "superstition" about the name Joyboy.

Whether it's Kuma or Abel, these people were actually no different from Shanks earlier.

However, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had heard too many legendary stories about Joy Boy.

Luffy ate the rubber fruit and successfully awakened it, which actually proved that the prophecy they were talking about was very likely to be true.

But
so what?!

Just because of that so-called prophecy, should I do nothing? Just quietly wait for the so-called Joy Boy to appear and change the world? !

Let’s not talk about whether the so-called Joy Boy can really reappear. Even if he reappears, can his ability really do the kind of things that Xiong, Abel and others expect? !
The 800-year history of the Celestial Dragons ruling the world was not recorded about their "great achievements". This period of history actually only proved one thing, that is, Joy Boy could never change the world.

If it were possible, the world would not be what it is today!

After taking a deep breath, Jiguoyuan suddenly understood and no longer wanted to continue communicating with Shanks. He thought Shanks would be like him and would be a fellow traveler, but he was disappointed in the end.

He and Shanks are not on the same level at all!
With the long sword in his hand lightly held horizontally, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's face regained its calmness, and no unnecessary emotions could be seen anymore.

"Shanks, if you want me to leave the holy land, then use the sword in your hand to speak."

"You don't have to worry about anything."

"After you die, your Iron Wall Pirates will no longer exist!"

Ji Guoyuan's tone was cold. Hearing him say that, Shanks opened his mouth, but swallowed the words of persuasion back into his stomach. He knew that no matter what he said now, it would actually be meaningless.

He knew Tsugakuni Yoriichi. In fact, from the beginning he didn't think he could persuade Tsugakuni Yoriichi to leave the holy land.

Although he didn't think that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi could succeed, Shanks was also very clear that his strength was no match for Tsugakuni Yoshiichi.

Tsugakuin's plan is doomed to fail, but that doesn't mean Shanks can escape from Tsugakuin's hands and leave the holy land safely.

In fact, from the moment he refused to join forces with Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, Shanks had already made up his mind to fight to the death.

He is just like Yoshiichi Tsugikuni. Once he makes up his mind, he will never change it.

"If you manage to leave the holy land, could you please help me take care of Uta?"

"Although she has been living on my ship all these years, she has never really participated in the affairs of the pirate group."

"Uta is a kind child. She is different from a pirate."

"And don't tell her about me."

"Let her think I'm missing."

Shanks also slowly raised the long sword in his hand, with a relaxed smile on his face, as if he was leaving his last words, asking Yoriichi Tsugakuni to take care of Uta after his death.

"Is that what you're going to say?!"

"I promise you."

Ji Guoyuan nodded, then raised the long sword in his hand, and his whole aura suddenly changed.

At this moment, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni gave up the convenience of his Observation Haki, and his violent domineering Haki appeared directly in Shanks' perception of his Observation Haki.

The terrifying domineering aura soared into the sky. The sky, which had originally become a little gray due to the smoke and dust spreading above the holy land, suddenly became a little brighter at this moment.

The golden flames burning above the holy land echoed with the starlight in the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield.

After sensing the domineering aura of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, Shanks' pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and then his eyes quickly returned to calm, and his own domineering aura also surged out.

He felt that his hard power was not as good as that of the one in front of him, Yuichiro Tsugakuni. Although he knew that Yuichiro Tsugakuni intentionally did not use the Kenwensha as a concession, the solemnity in his eyes did not dissipate because of this.

"Yuichi, I've actually wanted to see how big the gap is between you and me!!"

"I won't hold back!"

Shanks let out a low cry, then took a step forward, and tilted the long sword in his hand backwards, as if gathering strength. His domineering aura gathered on the blade, and before Tsugaru Yoshiichi could make a move, Shanks swung the sword directly in the direction of Tsugaru Yoshiichi.

"God avoids!!!"

The moment Shanks swung the sword, he let out a loud roar as if to vent the anger in his chest. At the same time, the black slash passed directly through the air and landed in front of Yoriichi Tsugikuni in just a blink of an eye.

This divine dodge was the most powerful slash that Shanks could deliver with all his strength. Its attack power was simply incomparable to the slash he used to attack Sengoku before.

The sound when the Divine Sword was slashed out was also extremely loud. The rumbling thunder spread throughout the entire holy land as the Divine Sword was shot out.

Even the Sabaody Archipelago, 10,000 meters below, could hear the thunder coming from the holy land. Even Shanks' domineering aura affected everyone in the Sabaody Archipelago at this moment.

"Hehe. God avoids?"

Jiguo Yuanyi looked at the oncoming slash calmly, and suddenly a light laugh came out of his mouth.

At the same time, Ji Guoyuan raised the long sword in his hand above his head, and golden flames accompanied by terrifying domineering aura condensed on the blade.

Sunny weather!

As Ji Guoyuan slashed down with the long sword in his hand, a dazzling golden light suddenly lit up above the holy land. The dark sky seemed to be torn apart when Ji Guoyuan slashed down, and the sky above the holy land was illuminated by golden flames at this moment.

The moment the slash surrounded by flames touched Shanks's divine evasion, the divine evasion was directly torn apart by the terrifying domineering aura of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, but Yoriichi's slash continued to move forward and arrived in front of Shanks in just a blink of an eye.

Shanks, who was standing not far in front of Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, watched his shroud of divine protection being torn apart by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's slash. At this moment, he felt that the time around him had stopped, and his mind unconsciously recalled the happy and carefree times he had spent with the crew on Roger's ship when he was a child.

The youth time when Shanks was around ten years old is the time that he cherishes the most and misses the most in his heart.

“Is this what they call a revolving lantern?”

“Not bad”

Shanks curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and then his body was completely submerged by the slash of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

"boom---"

A loud roar was heard above the holy land, and Tsugokuni Yoshiichi's slash directly penetrated the entire red earth continent. When the dazzling light dissipated, only a bottomless ravine of ten thousand meters was left in front of him.

Shanks' figure had disappeared without a trace under the slash of Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

Not far away, Garin Sheng, who had originally planned to watch the fight between Tsugakuni Yoshiichi and Shanks with his own eyes, stared at the scene happening before his eyes in amazement, looking a little at a loss.

He thought that no matter how weak Shanks was, he would be able to fight with Yoshiichi Tsugakuni for a few rounds, giving him the opportunity to find Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's weakness and attack from the side.

But no one expected that in just a blink of an eye, Shanks, who was one of the Four Emperors together with Tsugakuin, was defeated, and his defeat was so complete.

This is basically a person from two different dimensions.
