Chapter 690 Young Great Pirate, God Avoids! (Two in One)

Red-haired Shanks, one of the young pirates who rose after Roger's death.

Roger, the Pirate King, was one of the most powerful enemies that their Navy Headquarters had to deal with. Because of this, Sengoku was very familiar with the crew members on Roger's ship.

Red-haired Shanks was an apprentice crew member on Roger's pirate ship in his early years. According to the information Sengoku had, Shanks suddenly appeared on Roger's pirate ship. Now thinking about it carefully, the time when Shanks appeared on Roger's pirate ship happened to be after the battle of God Valley.

Thinking of this, Sengoku seemed to understand something.

He looked at Jialin Sheng and Shanks in front of him. Seeing that they had six points of similar appearance, he had a bold guess in his heart.

"Red-haired Shanks, you are not only a Celestial Dragon, but also a member of the Feigarand clan?!"

After a long silence, Sengoku suddenly asked Shanks.

At this time, he had quickly calmed down.

Shanks was summoned to the Holy Land by Garin Sheng at this juncture. No matter what his identity was, he must be Garin Sheng's helper, otherwise he would not come to the Holy Land at this time.

In any case, the enemy that Zhan Guo had to face had changed from one to two. Instead of spending time guessing Shanks' identity, it was better to ask directly before the battle.

In the eyes of the two opponents, he was probably a dying man. Although Zhan Guo was confident in his own strength, he did not think that he could face Red Hair Shanks, the "most domineering Four Emperors", and Garin Sheng, the Five Elders at the same time.

Facing the question of a dying man, these two people should not hide it.

As Zhan Guo expected, Red Hair Shanks and Garin Sheng, who heard his words, cast their eyes towards Zhan Guo.

Originally, Shanks was still a little "out of the situation" and did not know much about the various things happening in the Holy Land. Now he wanted to ask clearly.

Hearing Sengoku's question, Shanks also gave Sengoku a gentle smile, and then responded:

"Fegarand?!"

"Celestial Dragon?"

"I have never had such a label on me. I am me, the Pirate Shanks."

Shanks did not directly answer Sengoku's question, but his response had already given Sengoku the answer he wanted to know.

"Hehe. Pirate Shanks?!"

There was relief and sarcasm in Sengoku's laughter. The figure of Pirate King Roger suddenly emerged in his mind. Thinking of the calmness and confidence of Pirate King Roger when facing the execution, Sengoku just felt funny.

Would Pirate King Roger know that Red Hair Shanks is a Celestial Dragon?

Well. If Shanks is really the child Roger took away from the Valley of the Gods, then Roger should know Shanks' identity as a Celestial Dragon.

But would Pirate King Roger expect that the child he raised has reconnected with the Holy Land?

Even from the attitude of Garin Sheng when talking to Shanks, Red-haired Shanks probably has a pivotal position in the Celestial Dragons. After all, there are not many people who can make the Five Elders talk to him in a friendly manner.

At least Sengoku, a naval marshal, has heard the Five Elders scold him angrily countless times.

In Sengoku's opinion, it is probably that Pirate King Roger who was also tricked by the Celestial Dragons!

"When Tsugakuin Yoshiichi learned a secret, he launched a force in the East China Sea to search for the Nika fruit, but you got it in the end."

"Is this also the work of you Celestial Dragons?"

"You know that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi is a threat to you, so you will try your best to stop him from getting the rubber fruit."

"I didn't expect that you actually succeeded."

"If the person who ate the rubber fruit was Tsugakuin Yoshiichi, I'm afraid that the ancient prophecy would have come true long ago."

When Sengoku said this, his tone was full of emotion.

In his eyes, Tsugakuin Yoriichi is almost a perfect revolutionary. Except for not being able to get the rubber fruit and awaken Nika, everything about Tsugakuin Yoriichi is perfect in Sengoku's eyes.

Gentle and kind personality, decisive style of doing things, strong personal strength, vision for discovering strong people, and personal charm to attract strong people.

But such a nearly perfect revolutionary, unfortunately, was not able to become the Nika fruit ability user, and could not become the "son of destiny" who fulfilled the prophecy.

The reason why Sengoku's position has been pulled back and forth between the New Navy and the World Government many times is also greatly influenced by the ancient prophecy.

Only the Nika fruit ability user, only Joy Boy can beat the drum of liberation.

The existence of the prophecy seems to have completely strangled the possibility of success for other revolutionaries.

And the reason why Sengoku is determined to stand on Tsugakuin Yoriichi's side now is more or less because he is no longer young. He wants to seek justice for those comrades who died in vain because of the chaos of the Celestial Dragons while he still has the ability.

If Sengoku were a young man in his teens or twenties, he would be willing to wait for Luffy to grow up and wait for the day when Luffy surpasses Yoriichi Tsugakuin.

But now it seems that Sengoku will not be able to wait for this day.

In this case, let's just give it a try.

The appearance of Shanks actually revealed a trump card in the hands of the Celestial Dragons. The reason why his appearance made Sengoku feel uneasy was because Sengoku felt the "unfathomable" of the Celestial Dragons.

If he hadn't seen Shanks summoned to the Holy Land by the Holy Garin today, he probably wouldn't have known in his life that Shanks, the great pirate who roamed the New World, had a connection with the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land.

See the big picture from the small.

The Celestial Dragons have a strong man like Shanks as a helper, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't have other strong men to serve as the foundation of the Holy Land.

Thinking of this, Sengoku couldn't help but worry about Tsugakushi Yoriichi.

"Will it succeed?!"

"Are there many beings like Shanks in the Holy Land?"

"Travel on the sea at ordinary times, and summon to the Holy Land through the teleportation array at critical moments."

"Will there be no such strong man around the Im that Yoriichi has to deal with?!"

Although Sengoku didn't show too much emotion on the surface, his heart had already set off a storm. He had a hunch in his heart that this time Tsugakushi Yoriichi's action would not be as smooth as imagined.

Not far away, Shanks heard Sengoku mention the rubber fruit again, and his face also showed his surprise.

Regarding this matter, it is not what Sengoku thought. The reason why Shanks looked for the rubber fruit was just to help his captain fulfill his wish.

Sengoku may have misunderstood one thing. Although Shanks has a deep relationship with the Celestial Dragons, it is not so deep that they can wear the same pants. Shanks' feelings for Roger who raised him are not fake. Although Roger is a "human trafficker" and accidentally took him away from the Holy Land, Shanks was still very happy during the days on Roger's ship.

Roger has never treated him harshly, and even treated Shanks as his own child and poured his feelings into him.

Shanks is not a ruthless and ungrateful person. The reason why he looked for the rubber fruit was that he wanted to bring the rubber fruit to Ace to eat, and then help Ace to board Raftel smoothly.

In Shanks' original plan, after he obtained the rubber fruit, he gave it to his captain's son.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes. Because of his negligence and Luffy's greed, Luffy became the ability user of the rubber fruit. This is actually a coincidence.

However, this is Shanks's perspective.

In Garin's opinion, Sengoku's conjecture is completely correct!!!

Because when the Holy Land learned that Tsugokuni Yoshiichi was looking for the rubber fruit, it sent people to find the rubber fruit openly and secretly, not wanting Tsugokuni Yoshiichi to get the rubber fruit smoothly.

Shanks was also commissioned to go out to sea to find the rubber fruit with the Holy Land's mission.

Although Garin didn't know why Shanks failed to keep the rubber fruit and let Garp's grandson eat the devil fruit, the Holy Land was not unacceptable based on the result alone.

In the 800-year history of the World Government, there are countless people who have eaten the rubber fruit, but there are only a few who can truly awaken the rubber fruit and transform it into the Nika fruit.

Tsukuni Yoshiichi is gifted and powerful. He has become the most powerful person in the world just by relying on his swordsmanship and domineering. If Tsukuni Yoshiichi successfully eats the rubber fruit, the threat he poses to the world government will be infinite.

As Sengoku said, it is not impossible for Tsukuni Yoshiichi to become the person who fulfills the prophecy.

But the person who finally ate the devil fruit was Luffy, and such a kid would naturally not be taken seriously by the world government.

Although the kid is now developing rapidly in a direction that the Holy Land cannot predict.

But in any case, in Garin's view, the kid's threat is not as great as Tsukuni Yoshiichi.

This mentality of the Holy Land also led to Luffy having a long "development period" after eating the rubber fruit.

It also made Garin Saint mistakenly believe that Shanks's thoughts were the same as the Celestial Dragons of their Holy Land.

Although Shanks was surprised that Sengoku would say this, he did not intend to explain to Sengoku.

The relationship between him and the Holy Land cannot be broken at this stage. In order to continue to maintain such a relationship, Shanks will not let Galin Saint know his true thoughts.

"Hehehe, Sengoku, you're right."

"You know the prophecy, and Tsugakuni Yoriichi also knows the prophecy."

"Since you all know, why do you still choose to go against the Holy Land?"

"Don't you know? You will never succeed?"

"Tsugakuni Yoriichi is indeed very strong, and he is indeed the one who has caused the most damage to the Holy Land over the years."

"But so what?"

"He won't succeed! Even if he kills all the Five Elders, he will never succeed."

"No matter how he destroys the Holy Land, the Holy Land will still be the Holy Land."

"It will still be us Celestial Dragons who control this world."

"And you, Sengoku, you will also pay the price for your choice."

"Not only you, but everyone related to you will be liquidated by the Holy Land!!!"

Perhaps it was because of Shanks' help, or perhaps it was because Tsugakuni Yoriichi had left and was not here, Garin Sheng's tone and demeanor were more relaxed than ever before, and the look he gave Sengoku was like looking at a dead person.

Zhan Guo sighed lightly, and then his eyes became firm.

Although some unexpected things happened, he had no way out at this point.

Now all Zhan Guo could do was to trust Jiguo Yuichi and to stop the two men in front of him, so as not to let them affect Yuichi.

Having completely let go of his burden, Zhan Guo had already put life and death aside at this moment.

Shanks and Jialin Sheng had both seen the determination to die in Zhan Guo's eyes. After a brief silence, Shanks' smile faded, and he held the long sword at his waist with one hand. The extremely terrifying domineering aura surged out of his body and pressed towards Zhan Guo not far away.

Shanks and Jiguo Yuichi were the same age. His age could only be regarded as a junior in front of people of this age, but strength was not judged by age.

Shanks's domineering aura was so strong that even Zhan Guo couldn't help but stagnate his breathing and was slightly affected.

Shanks's powerful Haki is well-known around the world. There was even a time when some people compared the strength of Shanks' Haki with that of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi. This does not mean that Shanks' Haki can be compared with that of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi, but this kind of discussion also reflects the strength of Shanks' Haki.

As the Admiral of the Navy, Sengoku has also awakened the Haki of Conqueror's Haki, but even his Haki of Conqueror's Haki is not as strong as Shanks's Haki at the moment.

Take the lead.

Shanks did not hesitate at all. After releasing the Haki of Conqueror's Haki, he quickly drew his sword and slashed in the direction where Sengoku was standing from a distance:

"God avoid!!!"

The red slash surrounded by dense black thunder, and it had descended in front of Sengoku in just a blink of an eye.

It was almost the same slash as the Pirate King Roger back then, and the Haki contained in it was even better than that of the Pirate King Roger back then.

Although Shanks, who was still young, had the title of the Four Emperors early on, there were few classic battle records circulated in this sea, and no super pirate had ever died in his hands.

The reason why Shanks has the current reputation is more because he controls enough power, which helped him ascend to the position of the Four Emperors.

Shanks' strength has always been a mystery to be verified in the eyes of outsiders.

Sengoku didn't know much about Shanks' strength, but at this time, Shanks had played the same God Avoidance as Roger, and Sengoku's attention to Shanks also increased rapidly.

Biting his lips lightly, Sengoku slapped out a pair of Buddha palms, facing the God Avoidance with attack instead of defense.

"Boom--"

The moment the slash and the Buddha palm intersected, the domineering aura of the two also exploded, and the terrifying muffled thunder sounded in the holy land. The domineering aura that swept across was like a nuclear explosion, and instantly formed a shock wave, surging to the surroundings.
