Chapter 39 The Red Hair Who Got Slapped in the Face
“Sorry, your face is worthless. The beasts fought hard for a long time, and countless people died and were injured. Just because of you, it ended. Who do you think you are?”
Shangguan Wen didn’t give Shanks face. You are so awesome, why don’t you let the World Government give you a face and reduce the surrender of Tianshangjin?
“You can stop, but what do you want to exchange, Shanks!”
Shangguan Wen and Kaido had a battle simulation. The navy, Shanks, and Charlotte Linlin’s intervention were inevitable. They would not let the beasts become powerful, so this battle would be a second-best choice. They would cut meat from the Whitebeard Pirates and use force to deter the navy and other pirates. Whitebeard could not die at the moment.
When Shanks heard that he had to exchange something, his expression froze. He had always relied on his strength to get things for free. He really had nothing to exchange.
“Shanks, do you want to get a free ride and ask the beasts to stop fighting without any benefits? You are too naive.”
Whitebeard was helped up by his sons, looked at the current situation, and then gritted his teeth and stood up and said:
“Kulala, Shanks kid, don’t worry about my business!”
Whitebeard’s heroic laughter echoed on the battlefield. Although his body was exhausted from the fierce fighting for days, his dignity and pride as the world’s number one did not diminish at all.
He slowly raised the naginata in his hand, with the tip of the blade pointing straight to the sky, as if to split the chaotic battle situation and win the final dignity for himself and his son.
“I, Whitebeard, would rather die standing than live on my knees”
Shangguan Wen clapped his hands and laughed:
“Whitebeard is indeed a man of integrity, but the question is, are you willing to have your good sons die in front of you one by one? Whether it is me or Captain Kaido, if one of them delays you, your sons will die in front of you. Do you really think Shanks will fight for your sons? A symbolic fight is also a face-saving measure.”
“10 devil fruits, let your Whitebeard Pirates leave!”
Kaido also nodded in agreement, extracting devil fruits from Whitebeard to promote potential newcomers in the future of the Beast Pirates.
He couldn’t help but taunt Shanks:
“Whitebeard Old Deng, your pirate group doesn’t have 10 devil fruits, you can find Shanks, he will definitely give you face and send you a few devil fruits”
The corner of Shanks’ mouth twitched. The Red Hair Pirates are known as a solid wall, with average combat power. All members are non-devil fruit users. It’s not that there are no devil fruits in their pirate group, and he doesn’t care, but he doesn’t want to raise a tiger to cause trouble by giving it to Kaido so easily.
Kaido continued:
“Why, didn’t I say I’ll give you a face, but your face is not even as good as the devil fruit?”
Shanks raised two fingers and said:
“If the beasts are willing to stop the war with Whitebeard, this pirate group will take out 2 devil fruits as bargaining chips, but how can you prove it?”
Shangguan Wen clicked his tongue twice, pointing at Whitebeard Old Deng who was holding on to his injuriesSaid:
“Two devil fruits? You’re sending beggars away. Either five or get out. If you don’t have the strength, don’t try to stand out!”
After saying that, Shangguan Wen rushed over and collided with Shanks’ Griffin with the black sword in his hand.
Shangguan Wen rushed over and collided with Shanks’ Griffin with the black sword in his hand.
At this moment, it seemed as if the space was about to be cut off, the land tilted, the sea rolled, and you could see that a corner of the entire island was cut off.
In a trance, whether it was the Whitebeard Pirates or the Red Hair Pirates, they only felt that there was only a blank in the world, and waves were generated and rushed towards dozens of miles away.
In the back, the entire sea seemed to be cut off, divided into two in the middle, with no end in sight, and the sea water on both sides continued to pour into the deep and bottomless ditch.
“Ahem”
As the number one king of the pirate world and the user of the Face Fruit, Shanks knelt on one knee, with a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
“Tsk tsk tsk, your original strength is just like this. I really don’t know where you get the courage to show off. Here’s your chance. Five devil fruits, whether natural, animal, or superhuman.”
After saying that, he turned and left, ignoring Red-haired Shanks. The conclusion drawn from the previous move was that he belonged to the same version as Whitebeard Old Deng, but was weaker than Old Deng.
“I say, Shangguan Wen, aren’t you going to do it now?”
Kaido looked at the injured Shanks, then at the Whitebeard who was holding on in front of him, and clenched the Eight Precepts in his hand. This was a good opportunity. As long as he killed the two of them, and then joined forces with Charlotte Linlin, the entire New World would be theirs.
Shangguan Wen took a moon step and jumped to the same height as Kaido and said:
“Charlotte Linlin is watching from the side, she is not trustworthy. The flying shadow crows and news birds guarding the periphery have sent intelligence that the navy Akainu, Kizaru, Garp and the navy admiral candidate Gion have arrived. Before dealing with many forces at the same time, temporarily avoiding the edge is an option. Another threat to us is that the world government concealed the ancient weapon Uranus”
Kaido suppressed the murderous intent and ambition in his heart, The good son-in-law is right. Now is not the right time. He has been patient for these years to expand the military force. So it doesn’t matter if they live a little longer, creating the so-called illusion of balance.
Carrying the Eight Zhai Jie on his shoulders, he said to Whitebeard:
“Old Deng, 5 devil fruits, don’t play tricks, thank the red-haired kid for sharing half of it for you, I will come to get it in person in a while”
“Little ones, treat the wounded and return to Inazuma”
After that, he turned into a blue dragon and flew to Charlotte-Linling.
“Old Deng, Whitebeard, my potion can still be paid with devil fruits or food. Now these two small bottles of life healing potion are used to keep you alive. Don’t die now, otherwise I can only ask your son to pay for the unfinished 5 devil fruits”
Shangguan Wen threw two small bottles of life healing potion to the guarding whiteMarco, who was beside Whitebeard, took the medicine on his own initiative, fearing that his father would suffer for his dignity.
Now he urgently needed treatment.
Even if the war failed and many family members died in the war, Whitebeard could not fall.
Not to mention the navy that was eyeing him, even the other pirate groups in the New World were eager to eat a piece of meat from the loss of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Whitebeard looked at the medicine in Marco’s hand, breathing a little hurriedly, and wanted to say that he didn’t need the pity of the enemy, but as a captain who had experienced countless storms, he knew the importance of his existence to his sons. At this moment, even if he died, he could only die standing and return to his base to die.
Marco, in the form of an orc, flew in the air, opened the medicine, and handed it over eagerly.
“Dad, drink it quickly”
Whitebeard looked at Shangguan Wen and didn’t choose to drink it at the first time.
Looking at Shangguan Wen with a gloomy and unwilling expression, this evil kid had used him since the beginning of their meeting, making him feel young again and wanting to stay young and prolong his life. Now he gave himself a life potion to hang on, using this scarred body to protect his son. This is more treacherous than the profiteers he has seen!
“Kid, you have been using me since the beginning, you…”
“What do you mean by me? If you are a bad player, practice more. If you can’t afford to play, don’t play. The world is so cruel. If you have time to complain about yourself here, you might as well make your good son stronger and reduce the number of deaths.”
The defeated Whitebeard Pirates lost more than 2,000 people in a short period of time, two affiliated captains died, and several captains were injured. Whitebeard himself was also scarred. Among them, the sea knight Jinpei who invaded Inazuma was captured. In the end, Whitebeard had to accept Shangguan Wen’s potion to heal himself. It can be said that Shangguan Wen had calculated him from the beginning of the battle.
After taking a small bottle of life-healing potion, Whitebeard recovered from his injuries. He unwillingly clenched the naginata in his hand, looked at the dejected children, and couldn’t help but say:
“I never thought that I would be so badly plotted by the little brat Shangguan Wen, and I have to accept his potion to save my life. It’s really embarrassing”
Izo hurriedly said:
“Dad, this is not your responsibility, it’s my fault. If it weren’t for me…”
Whitebeard put his big hand on Izo’s head and comforted him:
“Kulala, don’t say that, Izo, Oden is my brother. I just lost to Kaido and Shangguan Wen because I was not as skilled as them. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Dad”
“How did you talk to the little kid Hiyori? What happened in Wano Country?”
Izo raised his head, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said slowly:
“Dad, Princess Hiyori revealed to us that Wano Country was renamed Inazuma, and the daimyo and generals in the country had been executed, the land was redistributed, some polluting factories were shut down, new equipment was replaced and food was grown.”
Whitebeard’sHis eyes widened, he scratched his ears in disbelief, and said in disbelief:
“What, Izo, what did you say, Kaido wants to grow food? That’s the Kaido who will rob everywhere, no, if it’s Shangguan Wen, maybe he really wants to grow food”
Izo continued:
“Princess Hiyori has told me that Shangguan Wen plans to grow a lot of food in Wano Country, but I don’t understand what he is going to do”
Whether it’s a samurai or a pirate, they don’t know how to farm, they only rely on force to rob, so naturally they don’t understand the deep meaning of Shangguan Wen’s actions.
“If you don’t understand, don’t think about it”
Then, Whitebeard looked at his sons who were crestfallen in the audience and said loudly:
“Our failure this time means that we won’t be able to interfere with Kaido for at least a few years. You guys, go back and fight back the voyeurs and practice hard. I’m old after all, and I don’t have much time to protect you”
“Yes, Dad”
All the members of the Whitebeard Pirates made unwilling sounds. Today, they saw their dad’s embarrassed side, and saw their brothers die and be captured. It can be said that the Whitebeard Pirates lost today.
In the crowd, Blackbeard Teach pouted in disdain. A group of daddy boys were severely taught a lesson today. They knew that they were weak and what they had done before.
It was just that Shangguan Wen who suddenly appeared unexpectedly. He looked like a little devil, but his fighting power was able to beat his father. He had never seen the animal-type mythical beast-Shadow Moon Wolf. If he now had the Dark Dark Fruit, and got his father’s Tremor Tremor Fruit, and then got Shangguan Wen’s animal-type devil fruit, then wouldn’t I, Teach, be invincible in the world?
Thinking of this, Teach’s ambitions kept burning.
Sachi, who was standing next to him, saw Teach drooling foolishly, and patted his back in dissatisfaction:
“Teach, what are you grinning at?”
Teach, who was awakened from his sweet dream, quickly suppressed his dissatisfaction and said:
“I was thinking, if I had a powerful devil fruit, would I be as strong as Shangguan Wen?”
Sachi sighed, hugged Teach’s shoulders and said:
“Teach, if we find a powerful devil fruit, we will naturally keep it to enhance our own strength. Shangguan Wen did not say what type of devil fruit he wanted. Now we will select the ones we find and give them to the Beasts to redeem our captured companions…”
Teach couldn’t help cursing Jinbei and Namur in his heart for being useless. They chose not to die in battle but to be captured, wasting the devil fruit in vain.
On the other side, Red-haired Shanks, who failed to pretend to be 13, was led by his crew and returned to the ship to leave the Beasts Sea to avoid contact with the navy.
On the ship, Ben-Beckman asked the ship’s doctor Hongo to treat Shanks’ injuries, and asked:
“Boss, should we give 5 devil fruits to Baijuu? Now that he is so powerful, if he gets 5 more devil fruits, won’t it be more difficult to deal with him? The new world order will be broken”
Shanks spat out a mouthful of blood, signaled Hongo to continue treatment, and looked at Ben-Beckman and said:
“The appearance of Shangguan Wen has broken the pattern of the New World. He is stronger than Captain Roger and stronger than me. He can definitely become the 5th emperor. He joined the Beasts. His plot must be great. He is a great enemy on Luffy’s growth path and may even kill Luffy.”
Ben-Beckman took a deep breath of cigar. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless. Now only the Navy and the World Government can confront the Beasts head-on, but the latter is not a fool and will not fight to the death with the Beasts for pirates.
Especially since Luffy is the user of the Nika Fruit, the World Government would rather kill Luffy with the Nika Fruit first, and then fight to the death with the Beasts.
“It’s difficult. There is no way at the moment. We can only wait and see and wait for the beasts to make the first move.”
Shanks was silent. With the current strength of the Red Hair Pirates, there is no way to intervene in the beasts with their own strength, unless they use the power of the World Government… The Navy has already taken action and it has been consuming so much time. Don’t let him down, World Government!
