Chapter 301: Shocked Marco
Soon, Marco and a few others boarded Red Hair's ship. As soon as he got on the deck, Marco saw Shanks sitting at the end.
Shanks leaned back in his chair, his chin resting on one hand, just as Jigg had done when he sat on the mast not long ago.
He looked at Marco with a half-smile, and Marco naturally would not be stage-frightened, after all, it was not the first time he dealt with Shanks.
Speaking of which, Marco is six years older than Shanks. Back then, the two of them were trainee crew members in the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates respectively. Now, times have changed. Shanks has become one of the Four Emperors, and Marco has become the captain of the First Division.
Admittedly, Marco's achievements are great, but compared with Shanks, they pale in comparison.
This is the difference in qualifications.
Marco raised his hand and greeted Shanks.
"Yo hey! Redhead!"
Shanks smiled.
"Marco, are you here to join the Red Hair Pirates?"
Marco raised his hand to support his forehead, tilted his head back, and said in an impatient tone,
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm here to discuss something with you."
"You want to discuss something with me? Um... Did Newgate ask you to come?"
Marco was stunned for a moment. He felt that Shanks was weird since he got on the boat. In the past, Shanks always had a melancholy feeling, but now Shanks had no such feeling at all.
He frowned slightly and said,
"Yes, it was my father's idea that I came here. He wanted to..."
Before Marco could finish, Shanks interrupted him.
"If that's the case, then if there's anything, let him come and talk to me in person. But your words are not enough."
"Nani?!"
Marco was stunned at the moment, and at the same time he felt very angry inside, and his face became extremely ugly.
However, considering the importance of what he was about to say, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice,
"Red-haired...Captain! Do you want your pirate group to perish in the sea?"
Shanks laughed loudly upon hearing this, then he restrained his smile and said softly,
"really interesting......"
As he spoke, Shanks suddenly raised his head, and two golden dragon horns emerged from his head. He opened his eyes slightly, and a scarlet domineering color swept out as if it were real. Marco and others who were the first to be hit widened their eyes in shock. The next second, except for Marco, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates who followed him rolled their eyes and fainted.
Beads of sweat slid down Marco's forehead. He subconsciously took a stance, staring at Shanks in front of him.
From Marco's perspective, there was a long red dragon lurking behind Shanks at this moment, but in fact, this was not an illusion.
This long red dragon is condensed from Shanks' domineering color.
Overlord Color·Dragon Power!
call!
Blue flames burned on Marco's body, and his right arm had transformed into a huge wing made of blue flames. He was almost completely transformed into a beast.
The Shenlong and the Phoenix, two top mythical beast species in the animal system, collided with each other at this moment.
The deck was intertwined with blue and red, but after a short while, the blue was completely suppressed by the red, and finally could only curl up in a small space.
Shanks slowly stood up from his seat and walked step by step towards Marco who was kneeling on one knee.
When Shanks walked up to him, Marco slowly raised his head with a look of surprise on his face.
When did Shanks become so tall? And what about those golden horns? They don't look like something a human should have!
Perhaps because they were both users of the Mythical Beast Fruit, Marco quickly came up with a guess. He faced Shanks' tsunami-like momentum and gritted his teeth,
"You ate a devil fruit? It's an animal type, right?"
Shanks smiled and looked down at Marco and said,
"Yeah, wanna see it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, in front of Marco's horrified gaze, Shanks' body suddenly swelled, red scales emerged from his body surface, and the pair of dragon horns became even bigger, flashing a brilliant golden light under the sunlight.
Seeing Shanks in this state, Marco's eyes widened suddenly and he exclaimed,
"This, can't be wrong! This is Kaidou's fruit!? How did you find it in such a short time!?"
Shanks returned to normal. He really showed off. Of course, even though he was secretly happy in his heart, Shanks still had a calm expression on the surface.
He said lightly,
"Why can't this fruit choose me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Beckman, who was hugging his arms behind him, twitched his mouth, and Marco was stunned. He didn't know that Shanks's Shenlong Fruit was just like his Phoenix Fruit, both given by others.
One of their devil fruits was given by their father, and the other was given by their eldest brother.
When Marco came to his senses, his heart sank.
As a user of the Mythical Beast Fruit, Marco is well aware of the power of the Mythical Beast Fruit. Its basic ability, which increases physical fitness, is terrifying.
What's more, Shanks is a strong man who specializes in physical skills and domineering. Marco can't imagine how terrifying Shanks' current strength is after obtaining such a top-grade mythical beast.
The most terrifying thing is Shanks' age! He is only 37 years old!
Marco couldn't help but think of the injured and old Whitebeard, and a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.
The era of Dad seems to be coming to an end...
In the two incompatible camps of the navy and pirates, there seem to be two opposing prides in every era.
The previous generation was Roger and Garp, and this generation must be Zigg and Shanks.
Thinking of this, Marco seemed to have all his strength drained away. His body shook twice. He smiled bitterly and said,
"Actually, I came here today with the purpose of cooperation..."
"Cooperation? You, the Whitebeard Pirates, want to form an alliance with me, the Red Hair Pirates, to fight against the current navy, right?"
Marco glanced at Beckman behind Shanks, then nodded silently.
Shanks smiled and said,
"Just as I guessed...I refuse!"
Being rejected so bluntly, Marco's face froze, and then he said anxiously,
"But now..."
Shanks didn't give Marco a chance to speak. He raised a finger to make a silent gesture, then slowly said,
"How can there be a Pirate King who wants to form an alliance with others?"
