"Seven Warlords of the Sea Red Hair Shanks!"
The name of the Red Hair Pirates is not only spread in the East China Sea. Although the Red Hair Pirates led by Shanks stayed in the East China Sea in the early years, they can be said to be not well-known worldwide.
However, since Shanks and his crew left the East China Sea, the reputation of their pirate group has been growing.
As early as the time when the Red Hair Pirates were "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss", they were given the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea by the World Government.
On this sea, there are many pirate groups that want to "overthrow the strong with the weak" and try to step on the Red Hair Pirates to reach the top of the world and make a big name for themselves.
However, all those who have tried to challenge the Red Hair Pirates in recent years have failed without exception. Among these people, the weaker ones are small pirates with bounties of millions or tens of millions, while the stronger ones are "rising pirate stars" with bounties of over 100 million.
However, the appearance of these challengers not only failed to shake the position of the Red Hair Pirates, but instead made their position as the Seven Warlords of the Sea even more solid.
As a member of the Fishman Navy, Arlong is stationed on Fishman Island all year round, but he still knows about big figures like Shanks.
After all, there are not many people in this world who are worthy of the attention of their new navy. Coincidentally, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Red Hair Pirates, is one of them.
"How dare the New Navy attack a child like this? In your eyes, does this child have a capital crime?"
Shanks didn't care when he saw that Arlong and the other new navy recognized him.
There are only a few people in the new navy that dominates the New World, and in Shanks' eyes, they are worthy of his attention. He does not take the navy on Fishman Island seriously at all.
If Shanks didn't want to make things too ugly, he might not have been so panicked and forced to land when he was being chased by the fish-man navy in the deep sea.
Even though fighting a strong man like Jinbe in the deep sea would be a huge risk, Shanks was confident that with his current strength, it would not be difficult to force Jinbe to retreat.
only
Shanks's concessions and compromises to a certain extent did not seem to win the respect of the new navy.
These fish-man navy in front of him clearly had murderous intentions towards Uta, which was something Shanks could never forgive.
Shanks was angry that Uta's safety was threatened, but what made him most angry was the attitude of the New Navy towards children like Uta.
Shanks vaguely sensed a strange feeling from the group of new navy in front of him, but for a moment he couldn't grasp what this strange feeling was.
He had come into contact with Yoriichi Tsugakuni and had even spent quite a while with him. At that time, Yoriichi Tsugakuni gave him the feeling of the warm sun in winter, gentle and soft. Even when facing people like them who were openly claiming to be pirates, he could still carefully identify them.
A person like him would never easily attack a child.
But these new navy men in front of him gave Shanks a completely different feeling.
If the background color of Yuichiro Tsugakuni is white, then the background color of these people in front of him is gray, no, maybe black!
Shanks's Observation Haki is extremely powerful. He has the same characteristics as Tsugikuni Yoriichi's Observation Haki. He can sense the other person's emotions through his Observation Haki.
In Shanks's perception, Aaron was filled with anger, resentment, and a little fear.
Shanks could actually understand why he felt a little bit of fear.
But Shanks couldn't understand why Arlong showed anger and resentment. After being at sea for so long, Shanks felt that he had never provoked the New Navy. He and the fishmen should have no hatred or grudges!
"A mere human being actually questions us?!"
"You are both invaders of Fishman Island and pirates. You deserve to die!"
Aaron remained silent in the face of Shanks's questioning, remaining cautious and vigilant towards Shanks and Ben Beckman. However, his silence was due to someone's "help" in refuting him.
When the shark man heard that Shanks dared to question him, he immediately became furious.
The work of the Fishman Navy has been too smooth in recent years. With the support of the new navy, no matter who the humans who come to the island are, they are all respectful when facing the Fishman Navy in military uniforms.
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi is very strict in controlling his subordinates, but his headquarters is in the New World after all, so his influence on the people in the first half of the Grand Line is actually very small.
Moreover, people who were born and lived in this kind of environment have a deep-rooted servility towards those "big forces" and "strong men". Because of this, the merchants who came to the island in recent years have fostered a sense of "arrogance" in these fish-man navy.
When you are praised too much, you forget what kind of person you should be.
These fishmen of the new navy have gained power and respect, and their mentality will naturally change.
These people are like the prison guards who hold power in the "prison experiment".
Fishman Island itself is a natural prison.
The merfolk were extremely confident in their own strength, and over the years, powerful seafarers had attempted to overthrow their navy. However, humans were still humans after all. No matter how powerful they were on land, once they boarded their "bubble boat" and entered the deep sea, they were like pigs in the eyes of the merfolk.
As long as the bubble is pierced, the fishman navy doesn't need to take any action at all. The power of the sea can easily crush those people.
The racial characteristics of the murlocs themselves make the murloc navy feel more and more superior.
The basking shark people's character of contempt for all mankind is not an exception.
Shanks is a thoughtful person. Just from the words of the shark man, Shanks felt a sense of disharmony.
"Just a human."
"Isn't he just a pirate?"
With just two sentences, Shanks more or less figured out the mentality of the shark people.
The other side's sense of honor and superiority did not seem to be given by the military uniforms they wore, but by their race.
What they believe in is not what the military uniform represents, but their own strength!
"Is our identity as 'invaders' more abominable in your eyes than the identity of 'pirates'?"
Shanks couldn't help but frowned, gently put down Uta in his arms, put one hand on the hilt of Griffin at his waist, his expression cold.
"Stop talking, invader! Why don't you surrender?"
The shark man also heard the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" from Aaron's mouth, but he didn't take the so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea seriously at all.
So what can the Seven Warlords of the Sea do? Aren’t they still human?
Haven't a lot of people died at their hands over the years? It's said that those pirates they captured and killed were all famous "super pirates" when they were at sea.
The bounty on the Red Hair Pirates has not been touched since they became the Seven Warlords of the Sea. In the eyes of Sharkman, these guys are just ordinary pirates who can be killed at will.
As he spoke, the shark man took the initiative to attack, jumped up, and slashed at Shanks with a knife.
Seeing the other party take action, Shanks no longer hesitated.
Admittedly, he did not want to have a direct conflict with the New Navy, but the moment these fish-man navy attacked Uta, Shanks had already made up his mind.
"I will not let anyone who tries to hurt my family go!"
As Shanks spoke, he raised his head and a terrifying domineering aura burst out. The rushing shark man was the first to be hit and was directly bombarded by this powerful domineering aura on his body.
The aggressive shark man didn't even have time to react to what was happening. His eyes rolled back, his body softened, and he could no longer maintain his flying and chopping posture. He had already lost consciousness.
But Shanks had no intention of holding back. The long sword in his hand slashed across the rapidly falling sharkman's body, blood spurted out, and the body of the fishman navy fell to the ground, with the upper and lower body separated.
Shanks drew his sword very quickly. After the sword was slashed, he quickly put Griffin into the sheath. Then he grabbed the black cloak on his body with his right hand and spread it out. Before Uta could see what was happening, he had already covered her with the cloak.
"Beckman, I leave this to you."
As he spoke, Shanks picked up Uta with one hand, turned around gracefully, and walked towards his ship.
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
Beckman looked at Aaron while speaking.
Under the impact of Shanks' domineering aura, Arlong is the only fishman marine who can still stand on the street. Except for the shark man who was killed by Shanks with one sword, the other fishman marines have fallen into coma.
When Aaron saw this scene, he was also shocked and looked at Shanks and Beckman with some fear.
He is different from his fish-man navy who have never left the island.
Arlong was Tiger's younger brother in Fishman Street in his early years, and he and Jinbe joined the New Navy at very similar times.
When Yoshikazu Tsugakuni attacked Bankoku, he transferred an elite force from Fishman Island, and Arlong was one of them.
Aaron has seen a wider world, and it is precisely because he has seen the world that Aaron knows how powerful Shanks is when he just broke out with that domineering aura. He understands how ridiculous the racial advantages that the fish people are proud of are in front of the real strong.
escape.
There was only one thought left in Aaron's mind. Although he did not see Ben Beckman take action with his own eyes, Aaron still had no intention of fighting.
Abandoning his subordinates on the ground, Aaron gritted his teeth, turned around quickly and planned to escape.
And just as he turned around, a gunshot suddenly rang out behind him.
At the same time as the gunshot, there was a loud shout from mid-air: "Hit the water!"
Ben Beckman held a gun in one hand, and wisps of green smoke were coming out of the muzzle.
The bullet shot towards Aaron's vest. When it was mid-air, a high-speed water bullet flew from mid-air and hit the bullet accurately.
Aaron, who had run several meters in a short moment, turned back quickly when he heard the gunshot. He did not feel the bullet entering his body, so he hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction where the shout came from. He happened to see Jinbei flying over and landed directly behind him, blocking Beckman.
"Master Jinbe, that's Ben Beckman from the Red Hair Pirates."
"Red-Haired Shanks killed our people!"
Arlong shouted hurriedly when he saw Jinbei.
He also knows how to use his job title when working.
In fact, there was no need for Aron to say much, as Jinbei had already seen the scene before his eyes. Without any further ado, Jinbei stepped forward after landing, and the ground collapsed. Balls of water actually emerged from the ground, floated up at a rapid speed, and stopped in front of Jinbei.
"Fishman Karate: Group Rain!"
Jinbei held Mabu steady and delivered a powerful punch. The water ball in front of him instantly flew towards Ben Beckman. Jinbei's attack was so powerful that the air was filled with shrill screams.
However, facing Jinbe's attack, Beckman remained calm, with a cigarette between his lips and a pistol raised in his hand, firing several shots at the incoming water balls.
The bullets infused with Armament Haki were extremely powerful, and they directly shattered the water balls in mid-air.
Amidst the splashing water, Jinbei's figure rushed forward, stepping on a thin layer of water waves, and instantly appeared in front of Beckman.
"I will not let my men's sacrifice be in vain."
"This is the territory of our new navy!"
"Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea cannot run wild on Fishman Island."
Jinbei aimed at Beckman's chest and punched him directly. The powerful energy made Beckman secretly frightened.
Fishman Karate: Samewa Zhengquan!
“Bang!!!”
There was a dull thud as Beckman was hit hard by Jinbei's punch, and he flew backwards.
At this time, Aaron had already stopped and hid aside. Seeing Jinbei knock Beckman away with one punch, a look of joy appeared on his face, but suddenly he found that Beckman in the air was flipping twice, and during the flipping process, Beckman fired several shots at Jinbei.
The crisp sound of gunfire immediately echoed in the street.
As the gunshot rang out, Beckman landed gracefully on the ground.
Fishman Karate·Karagasawaseiken!
Jinbei, who was shot at, had no intention of moving or dodging. He threw another punch, and the wind from his fist turned into a strong shock wave. Beckman's bullet was also affected by this shock wave, and it was delayed in the air for a few seconds before it ran out of power and fell to the ground, making a "ding-dang-dang" sound.
Beckman held the cigarette at the corner of his mouth with his left hand, and quickly opened the bullet chamber with his right hand holding the gun, and then gently threw the gun into the air. As the gun fell, Beckman took out the bullets from the side pocket on his waist and threw them lightly into the air. As the pistol was back in Beckman's hand, all the bullets fell into the bullet chamber.
As he finished reloading, Beckman flicked the ash from his cigarette with his left hand, exhaling a cloud of smoke, his gaze fixed on Jinbei.
"It came really quickly!"
"Jinbei, we're just passing through Fishman Island. We have no intention of starting a conflict with your new navy."
"Have you thought it through? Do you really want to fight me here?"
"We have shown some mercy, but you are pushing it too far!"
After all, only those who are strong enough can have the right to speak.
Jinbei's strength is far beyond the reach of people like Arlong. Only someone with Jinbei's status and strength is qualified to negotiate with people like Beckman at the same table.
Jinbe is the base commander of the new naval branch on Fishman Island. Beckman knows very well what will happen to their Red Hair Pirates if they touch Jinbe.
Of course, the most important thing is that they have a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment, and there is no deep hatred between them and Jinbei.
The person Beckman wanted to kill from the beginning to the end was Aaron, who had just ordered the killing of Uta!
He knew the priorities, and precisely because he knew the priorities, Beckman and the others didn't even vent their anger on Xiao Ba, who actually took action.
"You're pushing your luck?!"
"I should be the one saying this."
Jinbei put away his stance, glanced at the corpse not far away, and looked around at his unconscious subordinates. His face was gloomy and his chest was full of anger.
