Thinking of this, Raynor closed his eyes, ready to get some sleep.
The fight with Blackbeard just now had really worn him out.
If Chopper hadn't bandaged him up, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
It looks like his strength still needs to grow.
As the storyline continues to unfold, the enemies they will face will become stronger and stronger.
If he stays the same, sooner or later, he will be helpless against those monstrous opponents.
Thinking of this, Raynor closed his eyes and fell asleep.
...
The New World, on the high seas.
A sense of panic filled the air around.
Marco's expression became serious, and he said to the surrounding crew members:
"You all need to be careful from now on, that guy's Haki is not something you newcomers can handle."
Hearing this, the new recruits of the Whitebeard Pirates frowned, not knowing what to do.
However, just then, a man with red hair and a scar on his face slowly walked onto the ship, and his powerful Haki instantly spread out in all directions.
The surrounding sea began to shake violently, and cracks appeared on the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, shockingly visible to everyone.
Some pirates with lower strength, upon feeling this overwhelming Conqueror's Haki.
Their bodies went numb, and they immediately rolled their eyes and fainted.
Seeing this, a look of solemnity appeared in everyone's eyes.
Even the older members of the Whitebeard Pirates showed expressions of shock as they looked at the red-haired man before them.
This is the World Government's recognized Four Emperors of the Sea, Red-Haired Shanks?!
This presence is truly beyond what an ordinary person can compare to. The only one whose presence could rival his, it's estimated, is their own father, Whitebeard.
Shanks held a pot of fine wine in his hand, then looked at Whitebeard with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
He directly tossed the wine pot in Whitebeard's direction.
Although the red-haired man didn't seem to put much effort into it, it contained immense force:
The large wine pot slowly flew towards Whitebeard, and the surrounding air seemed to thin out at that moment.
But the next second, Whitebeard's hand opened, and he calmly caught the wine pot carrying immense force. He then took out a large bowl and filled it with wine.
Then, he threw it back.
Shanks caught it steadily with his hand as usual, but the moment he touched the wine pot, the position of the entire ship shifted.
The surrounding sea began to shake violently, and giant sea kings sleeping on the seabed scattered, but they dared not go too far.
Their eyes met, and a look of excitement seemed to appear in both their eyes.
The next second, Whitebeard broke all the needles and tubes sticking out of him and stood up, a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"Hey, hey, kid, what are you pulling?"
Saying that, Whitebeard picked up Murakumogiri, the Supreme Grade Quick Sword, standing next to him.
The next moment, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability was activated, and a white sphere slowly lit up on Murakumogiri's blade.
The surrounding sea began to shake violently.
Shanks didn't want to back down either, and he drew his famous sword Gryphon from his embrace.
The blades of the two collided rapidly, and an invisible wave spread outwards?
Veteran pirates who considered themselves powerful could not help but retreat at this moment.
When that invisible wave passed over their bodies.
They still couldn't hold on, rolled their eyes, and fainted.
Even Marco, the captain of the first division, showed a shocked expression.
Gritting his teeth, he slowly retreated, a excited smile on his face.
It had been a long time since he had seen their father display such terrifying power.
It seemed that besides comparing with the Four Emperors like Shanks, no one else could catch their father's eye.
The collision of the two quickly affected the sea for a hundred miles around, and the seawater was quickly cut into countless pieces, which took a long time to heal.
In the sky. The clouds parted into two, and dark, ominous clouds quickly swept across the entire sky.
Seeing this, the Marines gathered around looked despairing.
It was as if the end of the world was about to arrive.
...
Marine Headquarters, Marinford.
Sengoku sat in his office, his eyes anxious?
Just now, he received news that the Red-Haired Pirates had entered Whitebeard's territory.
The Four Emperor Shanks had boarded Whitebeard's main ship.
The meeting of these two recognized Emperors of the Sea would surely cause panic worldwide.
A solemn expression appeared on Sengoku's face, and he then slammed the table.
"What are these two trying to do? Do they really want to start a war?!"
Hearing this, Garp, sitting beside him, burst into laughter.
"You don't need to worry about things like this, their relationship is quite good."
"Speaking of which, Akainu's side seems even more troublesome, right?"
Hearing this, Sengoku glanced at Garp and then said:
"I'll find someone to talk to Akainu. Although he has a hot temper and his actions are extreme, I believe he won't be stubborn when it comes to the bigger picture."
Upon hearing this, Garp picked his nose with his little finger and then wiped it on the back of the sofa.
"You can't say for sure, that guy is inherently an unpredictable factor. However, the Five Elders might really need someone like him."
Hearing this, Sengoku slapped his forehead. He knew exactly what Garp meant.
He then spoke:
"I won't let such a thing happen."
Saying this, Sengoku glanced at Garp.
"As for you, don't cause me any more trouble during this time. I have enough headaches already."
Hearing this, Garp burst into laughter.
"I told you back then not to become Fleet Admiral, what do you think, regretting it now?"
Hearing this, Sengoku clenched his fists and then punched the tabletop, sighing in helplessness.
At this moment, a messenger walked in, saluted, and said:
"Reporting, Fleet Admiral, Captain Smoker has arrived in Marinford with the former Seven Warlord, Crocodile, in escort. Please give your orders!"
Hearing this, Sengoku stood up straight and then slammed the table.
"Lower the drawbridge and let them in!"
Hearing this, the messenger saluted, then stepped back, preparing to leave.
But the next second, he seemed to remember something and then retreated.
"Um, Fleet Admiral, the order from the Five Elders earlier..."
At this point, the messenger dared not say anything further, and Sengoku's face became grim, and he gritted his teeth.
Although he despised this kind of behavior from the Five Elders.
However, the Marines indeed needed a new hero.
Thinking of this, Sengoku's expression turned grim, and he waved his hand.
"Make preparations, and film it carefully. I'll handle Captain Smoker's work."
