Chapter 572: Qualifications for going to the island! (Two in one)
The arrival of Red-Haired Shanks has caused a depressing atmosphere over the harbor of Biscuit Island.
Mihawk and Red-Haired Shanks are competing against each other. Neither of them wants to lose to the other in momentum when they meet for the first time, which will actually affect the negotiations between the two forces later.
Mihawk also releases a strong domineering aura. After the "death" of Yuichiro Tsugaku, in order to support the new navy, he has been honing his sword skills and domineering day and night.
Although he has rarely fought with the enemy in recent years, there have not been many reports of Mihawk's outstanding achievements in defeating strong enemies on this sea.
However, the public's perception of Mihawk's strength has not deviated because of this. Everyone knows that Mihawk is a pillar of the new navy. It is even possible that after Yuichiro Tsugaku's death, he is the strongest swordsman in the world!
"Buzz——"
The Conqueror's Haki of Shanks and Mihawk met in the air and instantly collided with each other. A low humming sound rang out above the harbor. The storm caused by the collision of the Conqueror's Haki made the people around unable to raise their heads.
The weaker people had already lost consciousness and fell on the harbor. The few young officers who accompanied them also bent down involuntarily, trying to maintain their self-awareness in the area affected by the two Haki.
Compared with the ugly new navy, the state of Shanks' crew had to make Mihawk and others look up to them.
In the storm of Haki, the deputy captain Ben Beckman looked calm, his clothes fluttered in the storm, but he himself stood still.
The other crew members following Shanks also looked normal, watching the captain at home and Mihawk compete with each other with a smile on their faces. This mixed Conqueror's Haki had no effect on them at all.
Even a young girl who was about 16 or 17 years old and wearing a headset was not affected by the momentum of the two. Even such a young girl, her strength and foundation should not be underestimated.
Mihawk carefully observed the Red Hair Pirates and understood.
Why did Zephyr choose the Red Hair Pirates, who seemed to be "not well-known" and "weak in influence", as an ally? It is not only because this "pirate group" is "clean" enough, but the main reason is probably because this pirate group is strong enough.
Even stronger than the revived Beehive Island; stronger than the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates!
"Mr. Mihawk, if you want to fight me, I'm always here to fight with you."
"But... your welcome ceremony is a bit rude!"
"Does the New Navy really want to cooperate with us?!"
Shanks is more or less different from a pure swordsman like Mihawk. Mihawk might really throw away everything else and go to war with Shanks just because he "want an opponent".
But Shanks has not forgotten the purpose of coming to Bankoku.
Why would a "pirate" like him who is used to being alone be interested in cooperating with the New Navy? The main reason is that the New Navy has what he needs.
Shanks has his own secret intelligence channel. He learned a piece of news a few years ago-the Five Elders have been reduced in number!
The person who killed Izambaron V. Nasujuro was Tsugikoku Yoshiichi. Shanks is very interested in the way Tsugikoku Yoshiichi killed the Five Elders. Although Tsugikoku Yoshiichi has died, the reason is difficult to explore clearly.
But Shanks believes that there are definitely positive clues hidden in the New Navy.
He wants to get this method!
The New Navy actually doesn't know Shanks's real purpose. The bait they put out is the red road sign historical text and the promised division of the Red Hair Pirates' power area.
On the surface, Shanks came to Biscuit Island to negotiate because he was moved by the conditions proposed by the New Navy.
As for the real purpose of the New Navy,
Zefa is just thinking of using the Red Hair Pirates to suppress the power of Wang Zhi of Beehive Island. At the same time, he also uses this method to expand the power of several parties and make other forces that are eyeing the Ten Thousand Nations afraid to act rashly.
Whether it is the New Navy or the Red Hair Pirates, they actually have their own ideas, but they all contributed to this negotiation.
The terrifying domineering aura released by Mihawk suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Just when Shanks thought the other party would stop, Mihawk suddenly drew out the long sword behind him, with a faint smile on his face, and said to Shanks:
"Since our new navy has invited you, we will cooperate sincerely."
"But I need to confirm for the new navy what kind of attitude we should cooperate with you!"
As he spoke, Mihawk's long sword slashed towards Shanks and others not far away.
A sword light shot directly towards Shanks and others as the black knife fell. Shanks seemed to have expected it, and he had already held the sword Griffin in his hand at the moment Mihawk drew his sword.
Seeing Mihawk's flying slash coming towards him, his face also showed a rare solemnity.
But this look was fleeting, and the next second, Shanks showed a bright smile on his face:
"I don't think I will let you down!"
As he spoke, Shanks swung the Griffin in his hand, and a black slash suddenly flew towards the oncoming sword light.
God avoid!
As soon as he made a move, Shanks used all his strength.
Mihawk's slash was not so easy to receive. Behind Shanks were his most cherished partners and family. He would not laugh and joke with his opponent at this time.
"Boom!!!!"
The sword lights intersected, and the dazzling light even overwhelmed the sun's brilliance.
A muffled sound came out, like a spring thunder, and as the domineering aura spread, the sound also rolled out.
The strong wind swept up the sand on the beach, and the yellow sand covered the figures of everyone.
The violent hurricane caused by the intersection of the two people's slashes raged for several minutes before slowly fading, and the figures of Mihawk and Shanks reappeared on the beach.
The wind was calm, and the two people's slashes did not even leave any traces on the beach, as if they disappeared out of thin air, as if they did not exist at the beginning.
Mihawk slowly put away his sword, and his eyes looking at Shanks were vigilant, solemn, and full of fighting spirit and expectation.
Shanks showed a powerful hand in front of him.
Shanks's slash was tailor-made for Mihawk's slash.
Only a force that is nearly equal to Mihawk's slash can perfectly eliminate Mihawk's slash.
Shanks is not only powerful in domineering, but also in perceiving and judging the enemy's attack and controlling his own power. His attainment in observation Haki is unimaginable to others.
Even Mihawk is probably not as good as him.
It is hard to say who will win if Mihawk and Shanks fight head-on, but there is one thing, Mihawk thinks he can't control power like Shanks.
Mihawk will hardly hold back when he strikes.
If he were to deal with the slash just now, he would choose to fight back with an eye for an eye, and use his strongest power to suppress the enemy!
He thinks he can't do it as lightly as Shanks.
Putting away the long sword, Mihawk also acknowledged Shanks' strength and value. Although the crew of the Red Hair Pirates were quite dissatisfied with Mihawk's unreasonable provocation, the voice of "punishment" soon disappeared under Shanks's stop.
Shanks' personality is sometimes very gentle. He successfully blocked Mihawk's attack and looked at him with a smile, and asked with a smile:
"So now, Mr. Mihawk, can you invite us to the island for a detailed discussion?"
At this time, Mikuk no longer said anything, and walked to the center of the island to lead the way for Mihawk and others.
The news that the Red Hair Pirates arrived in Wan Guo also spread like wildfire.
A certain sea area in the New World.
Tsukuni Yoriichi, who came back to the world on the Holy Spirit Island, finally breathed the air of this world again.
Tsukuni Yoriichi, who was flying freely in the air, felt the cool sea breeze, and the whole person became refreshed.
The sky is high and the sea is vast.
Yoriichi's mood became extremely happy.
He didn't have a compass in his hand, and the only way to identify the direction was to rely on the position of the sun, but this way of identifying the direction was too crude, and the deviation was actually quite large. Yunyi wanted to rush back to the direction of the Kingdom of Alabasta, but there was no island along the way that appeared in his perception range.
The re-descended Yunyi of Jiguo had no concept of time, and his consciousness was still at the moment when the Kingdom of Alabasta was destroyed by the ancient weapon.
Before his body was fully conceived, his consciousness was also in chaos. When his consciousness and body merged again, he had already appeared on the Holy Spirit Island.
At this time, Yunyi wanted to further explore the ancient weapon above the Kingdom of Alabasta. The super weapon that could destroy an island made him very concerned.
Yunyi had naturally guessed who used that weapon.
Now he wanted to feel the power of this body.
"Boom--"
Yunyi of Jiguo's figure turned into a golden stream of light, flying over the sea level. After his figure flew for a long time, the roaring sonic boom echoed in the sky.
Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was so fast that he had crossed 10,000 meters in the blink of an eye.
After flying for a few minutes, an island that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi sensed appeared within the range of his observation Haki.
The golden light in the sky suddenly changed direction and fell directly to the sea.
Pluto.
This is a small country with a population of only 50,000 and an island area of only 100 square kilometers.
Pluto Town was built in the mountains, surrounded by peaks on all sides, and the towering peaks even soared into the sky. This is a foreign land outside the control of the World Government. Even the new navy who once arrived at the Holy Spirit Island did not find this island.
The ocean currents around Pluto are treacherous and the magnetic field is very different. Although it is a spring island with a relatively stable climate, the entire island is shrouded in a layer of fog.
If Tsugakuin Yoshiichi had not accidentally flown over this island, he would have no way to find such an island.
"ju——"
The golden light fell from the sky and landed on a peak on Pluto Island.
In the center of the island, the Pluto people, who were located between the mountains, did not notice anything unusual in the sky and were all doing their own things.
The town on this island was built on the mountain, and the lives of the people on the island were closely related to the mountains surrounding it.
It is obviously a mountain town, but Pluto Town is full of houses, with wide and clean roads. There is no backward scene of agricultural civilization at all. On the contrary, this town looks like a modern town.
Wearing a fire coat, Jiguo Yuanyi landed on an open space on a mountain peak and looked around without any obstruction.
Yuanyi looked at the town in the distant mountains, looked down at the dazzling fire coat on his body, thought for a while, and directly locked a beast in the mountains with his observation Haki.
Less than half an hour later, Jiguo Yuanyi, wearing animal skins, holding a wooden short stick in his hand, appeared on the street of Pluto Town, walking aimlessly on the street along the flow of people, looking around as he walked, like a country bumpkin entering the city.
The rough animal skin coat on Yuanyi's body was completely inconsistent with his fair face. His red hair was also extremely conspicuous in the crowd. His appearance also attracted pedestrians on the street to stop and look sideways.
This town is not big, but from the geographical point of view, Pluto should be isolated from the outside world by the mountains, but strangely, the clothes worn by the pedestrians are made of cotton. Yunyi's dress is out of tune with the people in this town.
Yunyi thought about finding a place to get information, and if possible, get a record pointer.
"Hey, that red-haired young man, wait a minute!"
Just as he saw a bar on the street and wanted to walk in, he heard someone calling him.
Red-haired young man.
I'm afraid I'm the only one with red hair on this street.
Yunyi turned his head and saw an old vendor with a white beard selling loquats in the aisle next to the tavern waving at him.
"Are you calling me?"
Yunyi pointed his finger at his face and walked towards the old man with a short stick.
"I'm calling you, I'm calling you."
"Young man, you look like a mountain man!"
"You have nothing, but you want to go to a tavern, young man, you've taken the wrong road!"
When the old vendor said this, he pounded his chest with a little pain. While speaking, the old vendor grabbed two handfuls of loquats from his stall, handed them to Ji Guoyuanyi, and advised:
"Young man, don't drink alcohol. Here, this is what I grow at home. The wild ones in the mountains are not as sweet as mine."
"Take it and eat it, don't come again."
"It's not easy to make a living by hunting. Don't spend all the money you earn on this kind of place."
While speaking, the old vendor also stuffed a handful of loquats into the hands of Ji Guoyuanyi, who didn't know why, and then waved his hand towards the reason, as if to drive Ji Guoyuanyi away.
"????"
The inexplicable old man made Jiguo Yuichi's face look a little embarrassed. He held the other's loquat in both hands, but didn't know how to respond for a while.
Jiguo Yuichi had lived for so many years, but this was the first time he had felt such a person. The other party's well-intentioned admonition made Yuichi, who had experienced many ups and downs, stunned for a while.
Was he treated as a young man who had just entered the society? !
Yuichi touched his smooth and delicate face, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
