Chapter 600: Raging Shanks

Jiger's reaction made Makino nervous. She didn't understand why the fight escalated directly after Shanks called him "Dad".

Makino shouted Shanks' name with all her might towards the center of the field, but at this moment her voice could not be heard from the cube at all. While strengthening the cube's defense, Zigg also blocked the propagation of sound.

After all, looking at the posture of Shanks and Garin at the moment, the noise produced by the collision between the two will not be something that ordinary people can bear.

Feeling her mother's anxiety, Sosia, who always loved to laugh, started crying.

However, at this time, Shanks and Garin had focused all their attention on each other and did not notice the situation here at all.

With the interweaving and collision of the domineering lightning, the two attacked at the same time, turning into two afterimages, one red and one black, rushing towards each other.

The next second, the terrifying waves produced by the collision of the domineering colors broke out, dense green cracks spread in the air, and hot red flames gushed out.

The aftermath of the energy spread to Jiger's side. Jiger's body remained motionless. When the aftermath touched the cube behind him, it was immediately absorbed by the black lines on the surface of the cube, and did not affect the Makino mother and daughter inside at all.

Even across such a violent energy wave, Ziger could still clearly see Garin and Shanks in the center. If the situation went wrong, he would immediately take action to end the battle.

During the confrontation, Garin and Shanks looked into each other's eyes. Shanks suddenly spoke,

"Has it never occurred to you in all these years to bring me back from Roger's ship?"

Garin was speechless, but his silence made Shanks feel angry, which also stimulated the potential animality of the Animal Devil Fruit, and the power that erupted was even more violent.

Shanks's suddenly rising power forced Garin to retreat, but Garin did not release all his strength. He was capable of pushing back this attack.

But Garin did not choose to fight back, but was forced to the edge of space by Shanks.

Jiger, who had been observing the two men, frowned slightly when he saw this. The black gas in his hands instantly turned into two rising black flames. Just when Jiger was about to take action to stop the fight between the two, Garin, who was still in a fierce confrontation, actually shook his head slowly at Jiger.

Jiger was stunned. Jialin's meaning was very clear, that is, he should not interfere in the battle. The first thing he thought of was that Uncle Jialin must have some strength left, so he dispersed the dark energy in his hand.

But what Garin did next was beyond Jiger's expectations. The power Garin output decreased instead of increasing, and he seemed to have given up resistance.

However, Shanks, whose animal nature had been aroused, was completely unaware of this. He continued to mobilize his strength. Garin had nowhere to retreat at this time, and the sword in his hand was suppressed and gradually stuck to his chest.

Just when Jiger couldn't help but attack, Garin suddenly showed a bitter smile to Shanks in front of him and said softly,

"It is my father who has let you down. I was both stubborn and stupid back then."

After saying that, before Shanks could react, the power in Garin's hand suddenly weakened, and the sword that lost its support was instantly blown away. The sword in Shanks' hand took the opportunity to cut Garin's chest.

Blood instantly gushed out from Garin's chest, dyeing Shanks' eyes red and making him completely sober.

Looking at Garen, whose chest was severely injured and whose face was extremely pale, Shanks widened his eyes and his half-dragon transformation was instantly lifted.

The energy storm covering the two of them also disappeared. Jialin spat out a large mouthful of blood, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

Shanks hurriedly supported Garin and shouted anxiously,

"how so!?"

Jialin felt his extremely weak body and laughed at himself.

"I've never been injured so badly..."

You know, even when he fought against the Rocks Pirates in God Valley that year, he had never suffered such a heavy blow.

Shanks had completely lost his composure. In panic, he almost subconsciously looked around for Jiger and shouted,

"Big Brother!!!"

Swish!

Jiger's figure instantly appeared beside the two of them. He first glanced at the diamond-shaped mark on Jialin's forehead and found that the color of the mark was still bright red, but it was much dimmer. Countless tiny red lines were spreading along the mark. Seeing this scene, he felt relieved.

The highest level of First Embrace cast by Jiger on Garin can not only keep Garin young forever, but also consume the accumulated blood and energy when he suffers a fatal injury, thus saving Garin's life.

To be on the safe side, Jiger touched Garin's forehead with his finger. A drop of bright red blood seeped out from his fingertips and merged into the diamond-shaped mark on Garin's forehead.

As this drop of blood merged, Garin's face became rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing Garin's condition improve, Jiger said helplessly,

"Uncle Jialin, we in the Fegalando family are not specifically designed to bring bad luck to our fathers."

When Jialin heard this, his mouth twitched. He took a breath and said,

"It's okay. I still used my Haki to protect myself. This injury is not enough to kill me."

Shanks yelled beside him,

"What are you doing!? Do you know how dangerous that is? Are you so confident in your Haki?!"

Garin fell silent, while Jiger reached out and flicked Shanks' forehead, saying unhappily,

"Then why did you hit him so hard? Did you treat Uncle Jialin as... um, Momonosuke?"

Shanks knew Momonosuke, but he didn't care about Momonosuke at this time. He couldn't get hard in front of Jiger at all, and said a little aggrievedly,

"Brother, wasn't my emotion out of control at that time? It was strange. At that time, I felt that there was an evil fire that I couldn't control..."

After hearing this, Jiger thought about it for a moment and roughly guessed the reason. People with animal-type abilities will be more or less affected by the animal nature of some protozoa. Strong people like Shanks may not show any signs of it at ordinary times, but if they are too emotional, they will still be affected by the animal nature. What's more, dragons themselves are not docile animals.

Thinking about the conversation between Garin and Shanks just now, Jiger sighed and said to the silent Garin,

"Uncle Jialin, no matter how guilty you feel, you wouldn't risk your life to block this sword, right? Are you ever so childish?"

"......"
