Chapter 393: The Two Groups Meet

To be honest, Buggy felt like he was being fooled when Shanks suddenly said he was going to find ONEPIECE, but when he heard Shanks' apology, his heart softened again, and in the end he could only snort coldly and said nothing more.

Shanks understood Buggy's feelings, so he changed the subject and said,

"Bucky, do you remember that Teach?"

Bucky frowned and said,

"Teach? He's the guy from the Whitebeard Pirates, right?"

"Yes, after the fall of the Whitebeard Pirates, he formed his own Blackbeard Pirates, and now he is a focal figure."

"How could he escape from your eldest brother? He is indeed a weird guy. I remember he didn't sleep for three days and three nights."

"Well, you are quite weird, staring at him for so long..."

Bucky curled his lips and said,

"That guy is very insidious. I'm afraid he might attack me by surprise!"

"Hahaha! It's you, Buggy!"

Buggy really enjoyed Shanks' compliment and crossed his arms with a smug look on his face.

At this moment, Rockstar, who was on the mast and in charge of lookout, suddenly shouted,

"A pirate ship has been spotted ahead!"

Katakuri and the others who were in high spirits below didn't take it seriously after hearing this. Lakiru waved his hand and said casually,

"Lockstar, this sea area is no longer our territory. It is normal to encounter a pirate ship!"

Jesus Bu chimed in,

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry about them. I really can't think of any pirates who would dare to provoke us now!"

What Jesus said may sound extremely crazy, but it is indeed true.

You have to know that in today's world, three of the Four Emperors who represent the pinnacle of pirate power have been destroyed, and their Red Hair Pirates are the only one left. Except for a few reckless young men, no pirate group dares to challenge them.

Rockstar waved his hand downwards and shouted,

"But when I look at the pirate flag on the other side, it seems to be the Blackbeard Pirates!"

Hearing that it was the Blackbeard Pirates, everyone on the boat stopped what they were doing. Beckman lit a cigarette and glanced in Shanks' direction.

Shanks raised the corner of his mouth and said,

"What a coincidence! I was just talking about him... I wanted to go to Fishman Island before looking for him, but he came to me on his own."

On the other side, Van Oka on Blackbeard's ship also discovered Shanks' ship, and he hurriedly told Teach the news.

Teach's reaction after learning about it was not as calm as Shanks. He didn't want to provoke Shanks at this moment.

However, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, that is, Shanks was too lazy to pay attention to him. After all, Shanks did not give the impression of being the kind of person who would actively cause trouble.

However, the next second,

A scarlet sword energy that could tear the sea apart came at them, and its momentum was so fierce that even Badgers, who was known for his stubbornness on the ship, froze in place.

Fortunately, Teach reacted quickly enough. He took the lead and flashed to the bow, then threw out an earthquake punch. The powerful shock wave collided with the sword energy, creating huge waves on the sea.

But Teach acted hastily after all, and the aftermath of the collision almost entirely affected the ship he was on, almost overturning the entire ship.

Teach's face looked extremely ugly, and the other members on the ship gathered behind him, each of them looking as if they were facing a great enemy. This was the feeling of oppression that the Four Emperors should have.

In front, also on the bow, Shanks was holding a long sword with strands of scarlet arcs of domineering electricity wrapped around the blade.

Buggy was looking at Shanks' back in astonishment. Shanks's knife attack just now really shocked him.

Shanks turned his head and smiled at Buggy, saying,

"How about it, Buggy? Is this knife cool enough?"

Buggy subconsciously wanted to nod, but stopped himself abruptly, crossed his arms, and said with a disdainful expression,

"It's just so-so! Isn't the ship on the other side still there?"

Shanks put one hand on his waist and said,

"Okay! How about you take a look at this?"

As he spoke, Shanks' body expanded rapidly and he directly entered the dragon man state. Buggy was stunned and sat down on the ground in shock.

He pointed at Shanks and said tremblingly,

"You, you, you, how did you become a superpower user? Didn't you say you wouldn't eat devil fruits!?"

Shanks laughed loudly.

"I'm sorry, Buggy. I broke my promise again. After all, this fruit was given to me by my big brother!"

Shanks' voice in the dragon-man state was like a loud bell, and the clouds above him kept rolling and gradually transformed into pitch-black thunderclouds. Thick streaks of lightning moved among the black clouds like silver snakes.

Tiqi gritted his teeth and watched this scene. He did not dare to let the shock waves from his fists dissipate for a moment. He yelled at the helmsman, Badgers,

"Hey, Badgers! Stop standing there! Get the boat out of here!"

Badgers, who had been stunned, finally came to his senses and hurriedly ran towards the cabin. The rest of Lafayette and others looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Teach.

Tiqi clenched his fists and said in a deep voice,

"Guys, prepare to fight the Red Hair Pirates!"

"boom!"

Van Oka's execution ability was at its fullest. As soon as Teach finished speaking, he fired a shot at Shanks who was standing on the bow in front of him.

Shanks didn't move at all. Jesus Bu behind him sneered, instantly flashed to Shanks' side, squatted down, and also shot.

The bullet shot by Fan Oka was shattered halfway by another black bullet wrapped in domineering aura, and then hit his shoulder and pierced his shoulder blade.

If the collision of the bullets had not caused the trajectory to deviate, Van Oka's head would probably have been lost.

This was a duel between snipers, and the Blackbeard Pirates were completely defeated.

Teach had no time to care about Van Oka. He could feel that Shanks' Observation Haki had locked him firmly. If he dared to move, Shanks' attack would surely follow.

He still hasn't figured out why Shanks would attack him directly, and why the attack was so heavy, as if the fight would not end until death.

Just because of that fight back then? Is that really necessary?

And why did Shanks look at him like prey? Was there something about him that Shanks wanted? Was it a bounty?

However, at this moment, Teach had no time to think further, because Shanks had already rushed into the sky on a cloud, and a stream of hot dragon breath came out of his mouth.

Teach had no choice but to charge forward again. Fortunately, the destructive power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was really not to be underestimated. After a few empty punches, he was able to take on the dragon's breath without any danger.

But Teach didn't dare to relax at all, because the next thing he had to face was Shanks swooping down on him!
