so……
Marshall D. Fang Yan not only deprived Luffy of the Nika Fruit, but also transformed Luffy's body, giving him the basic qualities to adapt to the position of [Gold Medal Boosting].
The principle and underlying logic of this method are equivalent to the "Proficiency Brushing Tool Man Secret Technique" derived from the forbidden technique of the ninja Fang Yan, Six Paths Devouring.
As a prop for the [employment test], the [Burning Fruit] is not a top-quality item. It can only be said to have "eye-catching features."
If Luffy can quickly develop the Scorching Fruit to its awakened state, then...
Fang Yan will recover the Scorching Fruit and gain experience in its development, use, and awakening. At the same time, he will also replace Luffy with a [Heat-Heat Ability User] with a higher-level fruit of the same attribute.
A truly excellent booster cannot always stay in low-end games.
That can't be considered as making the best use of one's talents!
Luffy is a genius who can develop a unique fruit that has not awakened for 800 years to an awakened state!
Letting him be a [Fruit Trainer] is like asking Zhao Yun to attack the enemy camp at Changbanpo, asking Lu Bu to fight a duel at Hulao Pass, and asking Liu Bei to visit Zhuge Liang three times at Xiangyang.
Apart from this, asking Luffy to do anything else would be a huge waste of his talent, ability and personal value!
That is a shameful waste of human resources!
Luffy, who was labeled as an "intern" by Fang Yan, learned that Mihawk and Shanks had a close personal relationship. So after adapting to his new ability, he casually asked about Red-Haired Shanks' recent situation.
After waking up, Zoro drank low-strength wheat juice to restore his strength, and at the same time expressed his curiosity about the [Four Emperors].
Faced with the doubt, Hawkeye Mihawk took the red wine glass handed over by a crew member of the Fangyan Navigation Group and shook it gently.
He pondered for a moment, then said in a dark tone: "Shanks and Fang Yan are very similar."
Hawkeye's expression was indescribable: "They all have strong innate kindness and malice, the kind of..."
"If you break your arm, you'll cut off someone else's hand."
The difference is...
Red-Haired Shanks will only kill enemies that he values and recognizes their strength.
Fang Yan is not that strict. He is "lenient to others". He probably wants to make everyone in the world have only one arm? When he first came, Hawkeye Mihawk used that [Aerial Slash] to "talk" with Fang Yan.
Through that move, he somewhat understood the undisguised dark inner world of this fellow.
Anyway...
As the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk is willing to call Fang Yan the strongest in terms of willfulness! In fact, Hawkeye's visit to the East China Sea this time was not just a whim.
Shanks lost his arm in the East China Sea, and he was unwilling to explain the specific process. He just said like a charlatan, "I blocked this arm in the new era."
What would Mihawk think? ——He immediately focused his attention on the Fangyan Navigation Group that suppressed the four seas.
After all, this guy is known as the [Four Seas Exterminating Dragon], has the same dragon transformation as Kaido, and is suspected to be the top-level mythical beast devil fruit ability user! The main reason why he tried to stop Fang Yan was because Mihawk saw the familiar straw hat on Luffy's head from a very far distance.
Hearing this, Fang Yan laughed out loud "hahahaha".
He thought of a classic pirate joke.
[Who is the culprit for the destruction of the Whitebeard Pirates during the war at the top? ]
[Blackbeard? No!]
[Warring States? No! ]
[Akainu? No! ]
[The answer is——Red-haired Shanks! ]
——The sword fight between Red-Hair Shanks and Whitebeard actually crippled Whitebeard.
Marco thought that the sky was opened by the sword fight between Red Hair and White Beard, but in fact it was the aftermath of Red Hair's sword.
Therefore, during the Battle of Marineford, Whitebeard was unable to dodge the traitor Maelstrom's backstab, could not use his Haki, and even had difficulty jumping up - all because Red Hair's sword attack severely injured Whitebeard, and finally let Akainu and Blackbeard take advantage of the opportunity.
Jokes aside, since Fang Yan has come to the world of pirates, he can naturally analyze rationally and view all characters that may bring benefits to himself.
Shanks is different from Kaido, Big Mom, Whitebeard, and Blackbeard.
The King of the Sea, who was so weak that Luffy could kill him instantly in the first episode, was able to break Shanks' defense and even caused him to lose an arm.
Considering that Red Hair's defense is so low and he lacks the special means of the Devil Fruit, he is still undoubtedly one of the Four Emperors, so...
There is only one explanation!
——Red-haired Shanks has the ultimate high attack and high agility attribute points, a pure assassin! This panel distribution allows Shanks to deal with people weaker than him faster than Kaido and Big Mom.
As one of the Four Emperors, Red Hair's large-scale killing ability is not as good as the others, but in a one-on-one fight, his [kill line] that can kill the enemy with one blow is the highest, and the combat power index of the enemies he can sweep away is also higher.
Big Mom, Kaido, Whitebeard, and Red Hair.
These four have different fighting styles.
The first three are the type with high defense and thick blood. They like to stand still and show off their power. They are used to sticking their faces out for the enemies to chop. A hp-0 message will pop up above their heads, and then they will make a disdainful comment, "A piece of trash with a combat power of only five."
The weak moves can't break their defense.
Redheads are different.
Even the small BOSS in the Novice Village could bite off one of his arms, so he can be called the [Crispy King]. If he lacks his own advantages in attack power, then he would not be qualified to be among the Four Emperors.
In the original plot, Kidd used the experience of fighting Big Mom and Kaido to fight Red Hair. He used the old experience to fight the new boss, so it was expected that he would be defeated in seconds.
Among the Four Emperors, the one who poses the least threat to Fang Yan and is the easiest to use is Red-Haired Shanks! Fang Yan never worries about the lack of loyal talents under his command, but only worries that this world cannot breed elite soldiers who can satisfy him!
Whether it's the Seven Warlords of the Sea or the Four Emperors, in his eyes, they are all people who can be conquered, not equal to himself.
No matter what, the leaders of the three forces all showed an attitude of wanting to sit down and have a good chat, and the atmosphere on the scene naturally changed quickly and was no longer as tense as before.
No matter which world Fang Yan was from, he had never been short of money.
A grand banquet was quickly held in accordance with Fang Yan's will.
Seafood, barbecue, drinks, juice...
Celebratory music, passionate and graceful dance...
Arm wrestling and wrestling are competitions of strength, while rock-paper-scissors and dice-rolling are fun and relaxing games...
The atmosphere at the banquet quickly heated up.
During the banquet, Fang Yan asked Hawkeye for Red-Haired Shanks's Den Den Mushi.
Mihawk was confused, "What do you want him for?"
A man with a strong sense of purpose like [Nergigante] would not do meaningless things.
Snap! Snap! Snap! …
Fang Yan bit the fifty-jin bone in his hand into pieces, swallowed it, and said calmly, "I need his power and connections to help me accomplish something big!"
