Figarand Garin suddenly dodged, blocking the fatal blow for Shanks.
In an instant, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates were all dumbfounded upon hearing his words.
Shanks actually has a biological father?!
Moreover, this person is actually a key member of the World Government!
As for how Beckman and his team determined that Figarand Garin was on the World Government's side...
One can immediately tell from his extremely luxurious attire, which is full of signs of power and wealth.
The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the world in an instant.
Ordinary people all over the world heard Figaland Garin's revelations and were immediately filled with astonishment and disbelief.
The son of the high-ranking, powerful figure in the World Government is actually one of the Four Emperors who reign supreme in the latter half of the New World!
Doesn't this mean that the World Government is secretly condoning its own offspring to go to sea and become pirates, openly robbing the One Piece left behind by the Pirate King Roger?
"Good heavens! The World Government is colluding with pirates, they're in cahoots!"
"Hahaha, no wonder so many pirates are getting away with it right under the Navy's nose. It turns out they have the World Government backing them up!"
"In the end, the world government still holds absolute power!"
Those countries that were already suffering and in turmoil due to the exorbitant taxes levied by the world government on celestial gold.
Upon hearing this, the people felt their hopes dashed and their hearts filled with despair.
They risked their lives to join the World Government and become a member state, hoping to escape the burning, killing, and looting of pirates and the ravages of war.
Who would have thought that the renowned Yonko Red-Haired Shanks was actually a member of the World Government! The root cause of their own country being exploited by enormous sums of Celestial Gold, leaving its people in dire straits, lies here.
Consequently, many desperate nations had no choice but to board the revolutionary army's warships and be drawn into the vortex of war.
Their only thought was to overthrow the immensely heavy mountain that was the World Government, because in that endless darkness, the Revolutionary Army was the only ray of light they could see.
Marineford was in an uproar. The marines were dumbfounded, and the pirates were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
No one could have predicted that the redhead had such an astonishing identity.
What exactly is the World Government planning to do by deliberately placing him next to the Pirate King Roger?
Why was Roger so determined to head to the end of the Grand Line, and why did he resolutely choose to surrender to the pirates?
They even loudly proclaimed the existence of the One Piece, personally igniting this turbulent era of great pirates.
Layers of doubt, like a thick haze, weighed heavily on everyone's chests.
Everyone was convinced that the world government was behind all these changes.
What they didn't know was that it was just a coincidence.
Red-haired Shanks was simply someone Roger took in during the God Valley Incident.
However, no one knows whether Shanks betrayed Roger.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the red-haired man and Figarand Garin, as if they were the protagonists under a spotlight.
Redhead's face was ashen, and his broken arms made him look both disheveled and resolute. He was extremely unwilling to expose his identity, which he had kept hidden for many years, to the public.
A long time ago, a special envoy from the World Government came to his door and revealed his noble Celestial Dragon lineage.
Back then, he was young and ambitious, full of lofty aspirations. He patted his chest and vowed to make a name for himself in the vast ocean and carve out a world that truly belonged to him.
As it turns out, he did indeed succeed.
Whether there was any secret operation or underhanded dealings by the World Government behind their journey is something only heaven and earth know.
Figarand Garin Saint's gaze casually swept over the red-haired man's empty sleeves, and he slightly raised his hand, signaling the elite of the Knights of God to take action.
In the blink of an eye, a strange light flashed, and with the help of the Devil Fruit's power, Shanks' two severed arms slowly regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming completely intact.
In this bizarre and fantastical world of pirates, Devil Fruits come in all shapes and sizes, some even possessing the incredible ability to regenerate severed limbs.
Although it is rare, it is not entirely unimaginable.
Red-Haired Shanks, now free of worries, readily accepted the treatment, knowing that only with both arms intact could he unleash his full potential.
The current situation is volatile and unpredictable, and he cannot afford to leave even the slightest opening for the enemy to exploit.
"Captain, are you... really alright?" The members of the Red-Haired Pirates looked at the slightly unfamiliar red-haired man in front of them, filled with worry, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing!" Shanks said coldly, his two simple words carrying an undercurrent of ice.
That cold, aloof demeanor was completely different from before; the familiar face masked an unfamiliar aura, which truly made everyone feel uneasy.
Beckman seemed to have anticipated this situation, raising his hand to gently stop Rakitic and the others who were anxiously trying to step forward.
"Beckman, what happened to the captain?!" Rakiro asked loudly, his brows furrowed in confusion.
Beckman took a slow, deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled a few smoke rings.
His gaze was calm and profound as he stared quietly at Shanks, the red-haired man, before finally speaking softly.
"This is his true nature. All along, you have just misunderstood him."
These words were like a bombshell, instantly exploding in the crowd.
The survivors of the Red-Haired Pirates were stunned, their faces displaying a complex mix of expressions: shock, bewilderment, and disillusionment...
It turned out that they were just being delusional, naively believing that the captain's usual bold, cheerful, and loyal nature represented the whole picture of him.
Just then, a mysterious figure dressed in a black robe and with a hood covering his face quietly walked up to Shanks.
"Oh, so you've finally decided to stop pretending? I was thinking you could keep up this act for a while longer."
The voice, tinged with a hint of mockery and teasing, broke the somewhat somber silence that enveloped the surroundings.
Shanks slightly raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the man indifferently, as if he were looking at an unimportant pebble on the street, ignoring him completely, his expression calm and undisturbed.
But the man seemed determined to cause trouble, and became even more energetic, circling Shanks several times.
She kept muttering to herself, and her hands would occasionally poke his shoulders and arms, deliberately provoking him.
Figarand Garin, standing to the side, immediately frowned, his face full of displeasure, and he sternly rebuked, "You stinky Kex, don't go around provoking your brother!"
Upon hearing this, the man paused for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and ripped off his hood.
In an instant, a face identical to Shanks' was revealed, even the scars on his face were exactly the same.
However, Shanks' composure and fortitude were completely gone from that face.
Instead, he wore a wicked, seductive smile, his peach blossom eyes filled with a cynical and unrestrained arrogance.
Upon seeing this, gasps of surprise rose and fell, sweeping across the entire scene like a tidal wave.
"There are two Red-Haired Emperors among them!!!"
