Red Hair Pirates.
They received the news even later.
By the time they received the news, it was already three days later.
"Kevin is dead?" Red-Haired Shanks held his head, staring blankly at the newspaper. "Is this true? Is this real?"
"It's true. All Newspaper Companies have published the news of Kevin being executed by the Navy," Benn Beckman said in a low voice, puffing on a cigarette.
"Impossible, how could Kevin die like this?"
"We only separated less than a year ago."
"Kevin is so strong, as strong as Boss, and he even got Ace. Why would he die?"
Yasopp and the others couldn't accept it.
They had only met once.
But Kevin had left a deep impression on their hearts.
"The Navy is so ruthless. With four Admirals joining forces, it's impossible for a miracle to happen." Red-Haired Shanks's expression was dazed.
It would be the same for anyone.
Red-Haired Shanks couldn't imagine how the Sun and Moon Pirates could escape from an ambush by four Admirals.
"I clearly told Kevin to keep a low profile. Why didn't he listen?"
"If he hadn't killed the Celestial Dragons, perhaps the Navy wouldn't have been so crazy."
"If I had known, I should have been more resolute back then, even if it meant fighting Kevin to the death, to take Makino away. Then she wouldn't have died on the sea just after coming out."
Red-Haired Shanks's fists continuously pounded the deck.
Now it's over.
Dead!
"Uh... Shanks, it's just that Kevin died in battle. The newspaper states that Kevin alone held back all the Admirals, allowing the other members of the Sun and Moon Pirates to leave safely. He fought for several hours and died of exhaustion."
Benn Beckman helplessly pointed to the small print in the newspaper.
Didn't you see it?
"Is that so?"
Red-Haired Shanks was startled.
He quickly picked up the newspaper and stared intently at its contents.
For a moment, he sighed in dimness.
Then he showed a silly smile.
After Shanks put down the newspaper, he let out a deep sigh: "I admire him. Kevin faced it alone for his crew. He truly is him."
Shanks felt admiration.
He naturally understood.
If the Sun and Moon Pirates were to join forces and fight a bloody battle against the four Admirals, there was a high probability of total annihilation, but there was still a certain chance that Kevin could sacrifice all his companions and successfully escape.
"Mr. Kevin, this is facing death to find life, paving a way out for his companions, a great Captain."
Benn Beckman's age.
He was already Kevin's senior.
His tone now carried respect.
"Such a Captain, on the sea, probably only the Boss and Whitebeard could do it."
Yasopp and the others were full of respect.
Shanks was silent.
He quietly looked at the newspaper for a long time.
He desperately poured himself alcohol.
"Shanks, now is not the time to be dejected. Many rumors are circulating on the sea, saying that the Sun and Moon Pirates possess the Ope-Ope no Mi. Many monsters have begun to act, including the Sea Emperors. The World Government will also not let go of the Ope-Ope no Mi, so... Kevin is dead, and the people left behind by the Sun and Moon Pirates are in great danger."
Benn Beckman reminded Shanks.
He believed that Shanks would not be indifferent.
"Besides Gion and Stussy, the Pleasure Quarter Queen who joined later, the Sun and Moon Pirates don't have many strong individuals, and they also have to protect ordinary people like Makino. Their pressure is immense; they won't be able to defend themselves."
"Whoosh!"
Shanks suddenly stood up.
His eyes became sharp: "Who dares!"
A wave of Haki crushed down, and the turbulent sea immediately became still.
"We should act. Send out the word: I, Red-Haired Shanks, will protect the Sun and Moon Pirates Remnants. Whoever dares to lay a hand on them will be an enemy of the Red Hair Pirates, no matter who they are."
Shanks's domineering voice echoed in the air.
"Yes!"
All members of the Red Hair Pirates showed excited expressions.
The Red Hair Pirates set sail.
Red-Haired Shanks's sharp gaze looked straight ahead. He knew that his warning could not make everyone behave themselves. He only hoped that the Sun and Moon Pirates Remnants could hold on a little longer.
"Sigh, I reminded you a long time ago, Kevin, to recruit more good companions, but you only wanted female companions."
Red-Haired Shanks couldn't help but complain about Kevin inwardly.
If I had companions like mine.
Even without a Captain, everyone would have powerful combat strength and could roam the sea freely.
....
Red-Haired Shanks's domineering declaration also spread throughout the sea.
Many ambitious pirates were terrified and uneasy.
They put away their inner greed.
But Red-Haired Shanks's threat and warning could not deter Kaido of the Beasts, nor could it deter Big Mom, these Sea Emperors.
"Ridiculous, that Red Hair brat is too arrogant. He wants to monopolize it himself. We'll see if he's qualified."
Kaido of the Beasts was dismissive after hearing it.
Red-Haired Shanks.
Although he was the new monster widely recognized on the sea as the closest to a Sea Emperor.
He hadn't become a Sea Emperor yet, after all.
Kaido of the Beasts was a bona fide Sea Emperor.
How could he be intimidated by a junior's warning?
Big Mom was equally disdainful.
Holy Land Mariejois.
The Gorosei were furious again.
"Who? Who leaked the news of the Ope-Ope no Mi?" The Gorosei were very angry.
Kevin was dead.
They had already set their sights on the other members of the Sun and Moon Pirates.
They wanted to leave no one behind.
To snatch back the Ope-Ope no Mi.
They believed that without Kevin, the Sun and Moon Pirates would soon fall.
But now, the news had spread throughout the sea.
Moreover, it was rumored that Kaido of the Beasts had personally acted, Big Mom had also sent people, and Red-Haired Shanks's warning had also spread across the sea.
The powerful Pirate Crews that the Gorosei feared.
Except for the Whitebeard Pirates, who had yet to make a sound, all the others had acted.
This made the Gorosei worried about obtaining the Ope-Ope no Mi.
"Immediately dispatch all CP0 members! We must bring back the Ope-Ope no Mi! It would be best to eliminate the Marine traitor Gion and the CP0 traitor Stussy!"
"Yes!"
The Gorosei also dispatched the World Government's very powerful CP0 unit.
"Lord Five Elders, bad news."
"?"
"The Revolutionary Army, which has always been hidden, just made a statement, addressing the Sun and Moon Pirates, saying that the Revolutionary Army is willing to take in everything of the Sun and Moon Pirates and is willing to shelter them."
The Gorosei were stunned.
Even the long-hidden Revolutionary Army couldn't hold back.
The situation became even more chaotic.
"Send CP0 out immediately, now!!!"
"Yes!"
