The vice captain of the Konoha Pirates is somewhat too overbearing in his actions.
However, this is precisely the rule set by Uchiha Madara. To him, this group of pirates before him are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and giving them a chance to wait is already a rare concession.
On the Golden Ark.
A mechanical red-haired boy descended.
Red Sand Sasori's figure flew in front of the crowd, mediating those about to initiate conflict: "Alright, let the members of the Red Hair Pirates leave, and throw Red-haired Shanks onto the Shampodi Archipelago, to be auctioned alongside those Heavenly Celestial Dragon slaves."
"!!!"
The pirates all looked up at the Red Sand Sasori in the sky.
"Of course."
Red Sand Sasori's eyes coldly surveyed everyone, continuing in a cold voice: "If you are willing to slaughter enough Celestial Dragons, obtain enough Celestial Dragon chips, and achieve victory in this hunting game, you can also request the release of Red-haired Shanks..."
"If you cannot achieve victory..."
After Red Sand Sasori finished speaking, his body flew up again: "Then find a way to get an entrance ticket to the auction, and bid for your captain at Shampodi Archipelago Auction House No. 1!"
"Hey, you there!"
The sniper of the Red Hair Pirates, Yasopp, raised his gun!
"Hmm?"
Uchiha Madara's eyes went cold!
Before Uchiha Madara could make a move, Shanks directly kicked Yasopp away, preventing his companion from recklessly attacking Red Sand Sasori!
"Do I need to wear a slave collar?"
Shanks no longer looked at his companions, proactively extended his hands, and smiled: "I heard Captain Rayleigh also liked being auctioned as a slave; never thought I'd get to experience it myself one day..."
This is an amusing rumor.
It is said that when the vice captain of the Roger Pirates, Dark King Rayleigh, ran out of money, he would sell himself to slave traders, and after being bought back, he would escape by unlocking the slave collar himself...
"You think..."
"This is fun?"
Red Sand Sasori's gaze fell back down, looking at Red-haired Shanks, his brow gently furrowing: "As expected, you're a Celestial Dragon with sinful blood in your veins. Perhaps you also find enslaving others fun in your bones. You think being a slave is an interesting experience? Then let me show you what a real slave is like..."
"..."
Shanks's smile immediately froze.
Shanks understood what Red Sand Sasori meant.
Many ordinary people who've become slaves at sea have lost their dignity under the ruthless Celestial Dragons, losing even the right to breathe freely, and Shanks had seen those people crawling on the ground in Mary Geoise...
It's over...
This is not something to joke about!
Living freely on the sea, Shanks' eyes were always on the balance of the Four Emperors, the World Government, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea...
"Sorry..."
Shanks hurriedly wanted to apologize.
"It's okay."
Red Sand Sasori coldly accepted his apology, with a mechanical voice that was still icy and merciless: "Figarland Garling, that slave should have learned to crawl on the ground by now; it's just right to also let you see what a real slave looks like..."
"..."
Shanks's heart ached with a sudden spasm.
All along, he had been able to sail freely on the sea, and had never been targeted by the World Government; the name of Figarland Garling had always sheltered him, and Shanks finally remembered that this man had also become a slave...
"Let's go, slave."
Uchiha Madara snorted contemptuously.
"..."
Shanks turned back to look at his former companions, stepping forward towards Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
"Shanks!"
"Boss!"
"Captain!"
A group of Red Hair Pirates rushed towards Shanks.
These pirates slowly gripped their weapons, clearly unwilling to let Shanks become a slave, each face showing a resolve to fight to the death.
However, a figure blocked them, Ben Beckman flicked away his cigarette butt, and ordered in a deep voice: "We will participate in the hunting game."
When everyone loses their reason...
There must be someone rational enough to make a decision.
This is the meaning of the vice captain's existence, Ben Beckman who supports all of Shanks's decisions, is also the rock that ensures this ship won't be destroyed.
The third batch of players...
Entered the hunting game.
Four Emperors Hundred Beasts Kaido, Four Emperors Charlotte Lingling, the Four Emperors' Pirates Red Hair Pirates, everyone except Red-haired Shanks participated in the hunting game.
However...
Within the hunting ground...
Finally, a great battle erupted.
Donflamingo was besieged by the Blackbeard Pirates!
The Blackbeard Pirates believed that Donflamingo had previously used the String-String Fruit's power to manipulate them into attacking the Celestial Dragons, and even with eight tongues, Donflamingo couldn't explain clearly!
"Zehahahaha... Donflamingo..."
Blackbeard Teach laughed wildly, his fat and burly body gradually closing in on Donflamingo: "You bastard want to drag me into fighting against the World Government? I agree with you, but aren't you going to pay a price?"
"Fufufufu..."
"I didn't intend to do that..."
Donflamingo adjusted his small sunglasses, not putting this pirate crew in his eyes, and the surrounding forest transformed under his control into thick white lines, encircling this pirate crew!
