"I never expected this young man to be so powerful. Even Sengoku was no match for him. Where did this guy come from?" Rayleigh was shocked as he watched Sengoku being sent flying. He knew Sengoku's strength; he was one of the top generals. But now...
"I never expected the gap to be so huge, but I will never give up, for the sake of justice in my heart!" Zhan Guo roared as the golden Buddha, which was over ten meters tall, charged towards Tian Qi once again.
"Lord Tianqi, let's leave here first. If we continue to drag this out, the navy's reinforcements will only increase!" The black-haired girl tugged at Tianqi's sleeve and whispered.
Standing fifty meters in the air, one can clearly see more than a dozen warships on the sea. The Sabaody Archipelago is not far from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, nor is it particularly far from the naval headquarters. Such a big thing happened in the Sabaody Archipelago, and Sengoku, as the top admiral of the headquarters, has not been able to resolve it for so long. Naturally, there will be a lot of reinforcements coming later.
Upon hearing this, Tianqi also noticed through the long-range vision of his white eye that a large number of warships were coming to support them. Looking at the Sengoku rushing down below, Tianqi was also disdainful. The human wave tactic was meaningless to him, but it was indeed pointless to keep wasting time with these small fry.
"Okay! Let's go!" Tianqi nodded, controlling Susanoo's third hand to grab Rayleigh behind him, and its fourth hand to grab Shanks who was fighting. Then, the two front hands of Susanoo condensed into a fifty-meter-long sword, which ended the lives of more than a hundred marines with one strike. Immediately afterwards, Susanoo swayed its hundred-meter-long body and rushed towards the sea.
"Uchiha Tenki, don't even think about escaping!" Sengoku shouted as he watched the giant head towards the sea, ready to give chase.
"Escape? You're dreaming. You ants don't inspire any fighting spirit in me. If the World Government really wants to take action against me, let the Five Elders do it. Fighting you is a waste of my time!" Tianqi didn't turn around, but his words still reached Sengoku's ears.
"Ant? Damn it!" Sengoku was furious when he heard Tianqi call him an ant. Since he joined the Navy, no one had ever called him an ant. He immediately shook the dozen or so golden Buddhas and tried to chase after them, but he couldn't catch up no matter what he did. Susanoo was huge and each step it took covered tens of meters. The golden Buddhas' short legs couldn't catch up with it at all.
"Hahaha... This is so satisfying! I've been annoyed with Admiral Sengoku for a long time, and this time the old guy is probably furious!" Shanks said excitedly as he was held in Susanoo's hand, while Rayleigh was speechless.
"Brother Tianqi, my ship is on that island west of the Sabaody Archipelago. It's being coated there right now. My next target is Fishman Island. We can use that route to enter the second half of the Grand Line. I have another crew member there. Let's go there directly and board my ship to leave this place!" Shanks said, looking up at Tianqi. He hadn't forgotten that he had a companion.
The Grand Line is a vast ocean with little land. Even Tianqi would have a headache without ships, after all, humans are too insignificant in the face of nature. Tianqi did not refuse Shanks' suggestion.
Knowing that the ship was on the western island, Tianqi's Susanoo sprouted wings on its back and took off, flying towards the western island.
"Wow, it can fly! This is so convenient, hahaha..." Shanks, flying in the air, was excited again.
The three girls clung tightly to Tianqi's clothes, afraid he would fall and die from flying so high. Rayleigh nodded, saying that this ability to fly alone was enough to give the Navy a headache.
"What?! Such a huge creature can fly!" Sengoku, who had caught up, was also incredibly surprised as he watched the giant slowly disappear into the sky. Regardless of Uchiha Tenki's strength, just this ability to fly would make it difficult to catch him in the future.
Looking at his subordinates, who were completely powerless to stop him, Sengoku sighed slightly. After Uchiha Tensei's sudden emergence, he would definitely be the Navy's most troublesome enemy.
The Susanoo flew quickly and soon arrived at the island to the west. After reaching the vicinity of their destination, Tianqi released the Susanoo and the others walked towards the ship that was being coated on the shore.
"Yo Shanks, you're back! Hurry, hurry, our ship is all coated and ready to set sail!" Beckman, with long hair and a gun at his waist, said coolly.
This Beckman will later become the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates. However, the Red-Haired Pirates have not yet been formed and there are only two crew members. Therefore, he does not address Shanks as captain but calls him by his first name.
"Beckman, come here, let me introduce you. This is Rayleigh, my former vice-captain of the Roger Pirates. And this big brother is Uchiha Tenchi. Don't underestimate him. He just beat Sengoku the Buddha to the point of vomiting blood!" Shanks introduced to himself.
Upon hearing Shanks' words, and combining them with the information he had just received that a large number of warships had arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, he guessed that it was the work of the people in front of him. Beckman looked dumbfounded, glancing at Rayleigh and then at Tianqi. These two guys were ruthless.
Rayleigh, the vice-captain of Gol D. Roger's ship, is a true legendary pirate. No pirate is unaware of his name. As for Tianqi, although I hadn't heard of him before, someone who could make Sengoku cough up blood is definitely a legendary figure.
"Y-you... Hello, my name is Ben Beckman, you can just call me Beckman!" Beckman, who had just recovered from his shock, quickly greeted the two of them. Although he usually liked to act cool, he really couldn't keep up the act in front of these two.
"Hahaha... Shanks, your companion is quite interesting. But I've been out long enough today, and if I don't go home soon, your Aunt Xia will get angry again. So, farewell!" Rayleigh then looked at Tianqi and said, "Young man, I believe your name will soon resound throughout the entire sea. I hope that when I see you again, you will already be a legendary pirate. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Rayleigh left immediately, coming and going in a hurry, leaving everyone with only his back view.
"Oh, if everyone were as carefree as First Mate Rayleigh!" Shanks shook his head as he watched Rayleigh's retreating figure. Then he looked at Tianqi and said, "Brother Tianqi, you seem to be all alone. How about becoming my companion? If you're interested, I can make you my captain!"
"Shanks..." Beckman was also surprised to hear this. He knew Shanks' ideals, but now he wanted someone else to be the captain, which puzzled him.
"Beckman, you're not going to say anything more. It's precisely because of my ideals that I chose Brother Tianqi, and I believe in his character and strength. Only he has the ability to do whatever he wants. We are still not qualified!" Shanks interrupted Beckman.
"Well, alright..." Knowing that no one could change Shanks's decision, Beckman chose to accept it. Since Shanks believed that this person had the ability to be a captain, then he definitely did.
"What do you think, Brother Tianqi? If it were you, you could definitely lead us to conquer the latter half of the Grand Line. You're the captain if you're willing!" Shanks said calmly to Tianqi.
The three girls looked at Tianqi with anticipation. If Tianqi really formed a pirate crew, they would definitely join him. With this man's great strength, he would surely have a place of his own in the latter half of the Grand Line.
"Alright! Then I'll be the leader this time and lead you to do what you want to do!" Tianqi looked at Shanks and the other two, then at the three girls beside him, and he agreed.
Tianqi also wanted to try exploring the mysterious and unknown ocean. Firstly, he could learn about this world; secondly, he could hone his skills; and thirdly, he wouldn't be alone with companions.
Shanks smiled when he heard Tianqi agree, and Beckman breathed a sigh of relief. With Tianqi's addition, their pirate crew could finally be formed.
There were originally only two people on the ship, so there was no point in forming a pirate crew because the number of people was too small. But now it's different. With Tianqi and the three girls rescued at the auction, the minimum number of people needed to form a pirate crew has been reached.
