Chapter 279: The Eve of the Final Battle on the Summit: Operation Red Hair

New World, the base of the Red Hair Pirates.

This is a spring island with a warm and mild climate.

The sea at the beach is rippling with blue waves, sparkling under the sunlight, and the water is clear to the bottom.

The island is shaded by green trees and full of vitality.

The sea breeze blew the ends of Shanks' red hair. He stood on the beach, his serious expression not relaxing at all.

"Should I say that Zhan Guo is crazy? Or is Senior Arthur crazy?" He said while looking at the blue sea, completely losing control of the future situation.

"Boss, the latest news is that even Kaido and Big Mom have formed an alliance with Arthur. Are we really going to sit there and wait for death?"

"Arthur, a poor man in the old days, has been framed by the navy for so many years. Now he has the strength to gather the forces of all parties to declare war on the World Government. This is natural." Beckman said in front of a wooden table outside a simple tent on the beach:

"Whitebeard is the same. When Fire Fist Ace was captured by the navy, there was no reason for him not to rescue him. The most serious thing is, why did Kaido and Big Mom also plan to join this war? What kind of benefits did they receive from Arthur?"

Listening to Beckman's words, Shanks looked at him: "What do you think I should do, Beck?"

With a chuckle, Beckman struck a match, lit a cigarette, and immediately came up with a plan in his mind:

"Arthur started this war and claimed to overthrow the Celestial Dragons. If he succeeds, there is no doubt that he will be the new king."

"However, this has almost no impact on us pirates. We can just take advantage of this opportunity to maximize our profits. We can seize all the territories of Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido, and turn the entire New World into the empire of our Red Hair Pirates!"

Everyone on the shore was startled and looked at Beckman.

Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke and pointed at Shanks himself:

"In that case, no matter who wins among the government, the navy, Arthur, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom, they will all suffer losses. We can retreat to defend or advance to attack. It may even be possible to destroy them."

"Maybe?" Shanks looked at Beckman and asked, "Who else is the potential threat?"

"Have you forgotten?" Beckman recalled the past: "The only potential threat to us is Arthur. His recovery ability and physique are extremely rare. He can recover quickly from a war and immediately join a new war. If we occupy the territories of the other three Four Emperors, there is no doubt that if he really overthrows the Celestial Dragons, we will be the next target of his sword."

The words of the strongest brain in the entire Red Hair Pirates are very convincing.

"The best outcome of this war is that the Four Emperors return to the New World and each dominates their own territory."

"Of course, every time there is a change of era and a change of rule, countless people will die."

Shanks found it hard to accept what Beckman said. A bold idea came to his mind. He immediately said:

"Then we might as well just kill him and eliminate Arthur completely while he's weak."

"Do you want to stand by and watch until the final attack?" Beckman asked again, feeling that this was not his style.

But the opponent is Arthur, and the only way to win is to use despicable means.

"Don't tell me..." Shanks glanced at everyone sharply: "Don't you want revenge? That kind of humiliation is engraved in your bones."

At this point, all the Red Hair Pirates officers stopped what they were doing, and their hearts were filled with anger towards Arthur.

Everyone has some scars on their bodies, without exception, all of which were left intentionally by Arthur.

“Let’s do it…!”

"We are not the same as we were more than ten years ago. There is no need to be afraid of him anymore."

"Kill him and wash away the shame!"

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Shanks raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

"Prepare the ships, target Marinford." Shanks gave the order, instantly igniting the fighting spirit of all members of the Red Hair Pirates.

"Haha, did you choose this one? Beckman smiled and said, "But this is also the easiest way, although it is not very righteous."

"By exposing him to the public, we can also stop the war."

The Red Hair Pirates take action with the goal of killing Arthur and stopping this huge war.

……

Grand Line, Baldigo.

Revolutionary army base.

On the gray and barren island covered with misty dust, many buildings built with sand formed a huge blocking fortress.

Boom!

Above the sky, a strong meat ball shock wave fell from the sky and landed at the gate of the revolutionary army base.

The ground was impacted and the building shook violently.

Dorag ran out of the headquarters with sweat all over his forehead, looking at the movement on the ground outside the house:

"Nicole Robin, I didn't expect what you said was actually true. I'm sorry I questioned you."

Looking at the big pit created by the bear cub's ability and the person in the pit, Dorag hurriedly ran upwards.

In the pit, Luffy was so hungry that he screamed. He looked around like a monkey and found that there was nothing but barren land around him.

"I'm so hungry! What is this place...?"

At this moment he didn't know that he had arrived at the revolutionary army's territory, and he looked around with a confused look on his face.

"I'm glad you caught up with me, Luffy!" Robin stood behind Dragon, looking at Luffy who was safe and sound, and her worry was reduced a little.

"Hmm?" Luffy looked at Robin and suddenly laughed:

"Robin! Why are you here? What is this place? Everyone was swatted away by a giant humanoid bear that suddenly appeared, and I'm still alive, which means they are also somewhere in the world!"

The Straw Hat Pirates were saved, and it was all arranged by Robin.

She couldn't accept Arthur's brutality of destroying a civilization in an instant.

It was as if she were back in O'Hara, and she couldn't accept or understand it at all.

"This is your father, Luffy." Robin explained to Luffy:

"The only way I can think of to save you is to ask him for help."

"Father?" Luffy tilted his head and looked at Dragon.

He was wearing a dark green cape and had a strange tattoo on his face.

He looked very majestic, but Luffy asked:

"Do I have a father? By the way, what happened to your left arm?"

Dragon patted his lost left arm and responded to Luffy, "Are you talking about this? I broke it myself because of some dispute."

"Really? Sorry." Luffy bowed to Dragon and apologized, indicating that he meant no harm.

Luffy has never seen Dragon, but Dragon has been secretly observing him.

It is normal for father and son to be strangers to each other, and Doragg understands this very well.

After briefly getting to know everyone, Luffy suddenly came to his senses and said anxiously:

"Robin, Ace! Ace has been captured by the navy and is about to be publicly executed. I have to save him!"

Hearing Luffy's words, Robin frowned: "Luffy...you'd better not go..."

"No! He is my brother, my only brother, I can't lose him! Please, please your father, help me!"

Faced with Luffy's request, the members of the Revolutionary Army were almost stunned.

None of the cadres in the entire revolutionary army wanted to face Arthur.

"Don't you understand after what happened last time?" Robin yelled at Luffy:

"With your strength, you can't play any role in a conflict of that level. You need to become stronger now so that you can continue your adventure!"

When Luffy saw Robin again, he didn't blame her for leaving at that time.

Under the circumstances at the time, everyone had no choice. In his opinion, Robin followed Arthur for the life and death of the group.

Although I don't know why, she changed her mind, which is of course the best.

It was Robin's selfishness and desire to find the Straw Hat Pirates again, decide to return to the pirate group, and continue to immerse herself in the new adventure of her dreams.

She no longer cares what others think of her.

"No! I will go save Ace even if I am alone!" Luffy roared at the top of his lungs:

"But I'm his younger brother!"

This sound almost exhausted his last bit of strength.

After yelling, Luffy became weak and fell to the ground, completely unable to move.

"Hey, Luffy, are you okay?" Robin went forward to check on him and immediately discovered that he was too weak to move due to excessive hunger.

After flying in the air for three days without a drop of water or food, Luffy's body has reached its limit.

At this moment, inside the revolutionary army base building, a 20-year-old young man with yellow hair and a burn on his left eye came out after hearing the shouting.

The moment he saw Luffy, some familiar memories seemed to emerge in his mind.

All the memories of Mount Korpo came to his mind.

Sabo, Ace, and Luffy, the three of them drank wine and became sworn brothers, went hunting, built nests, and slept in big trees.

Countless childhood memories made Sabo cover his head and scream in pain.

"Sabo?" Dorag suddenly looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Sabo knelt on the ground, sobbing, "Mr. Dorag, I remember... the memory of my lost arrow!"

"What?" Dorag was shocked. He had sneaked into Mount Korpo and rescued him from the Celestial Dragons' artillery fire, but he didn't know that he had such an experience.

"Ace, Luffy, you are my sworn brothers since childhood, I remember now!"

"Ah...you are..." Luffy looked at Sabo with a weak appearance. The face and hair color seemed very familiar.

Combined with what he just said, it could only remind him of his deceased brother, Sabo.

"It's me, Luffy!" Sabo came to Luffy, and he was very moved after regaining his memory.

"Sabo...you're not dead...the explosion clearly..." Luffy said with a smile on his face.

"I was saved by Mr. Dragon, Luffy, and lost my memory."

"Sabo, Ace... Ace... is going to be executed. We have to save him."

The brothers recognized each other, and this scene surprised Dorag again.

Fate or accident?

The noble boy who was rescued turned out to be his son's sworn brother.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

"Mr. Dorag!" Sabo suddenly grabbed a corner of Dorag's cloak:
