After Wan Xiu's interference in the new world, the world's divisions have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Although the New World is still a place that pirates yearn for, in this sea area, its owner is completely different.
The pirates who entered the new world from the first half of the Grand Line can still have their own choices, or join the pirate group of one of the four former sea emperors and become their subordinates.
Or occupy a small island by yourself and be self-reliant in this new world.
But when there is only one talker in the entire new world, and that is Wan Xiu, this approach will not work at all.
After the defeat of Kaido and Big Mom, the new pirates who entered the new world have to weigh their own strength and whether they can shake the rule of the Manshuna Pirates.
If not, you can only report your pirate group to Dressrosa controlled by Wan Xiu. Even if you don't want to join Wan Xiu's command directly, you must obtain a navigation certificate from Dressrosa before you can enter the new world. of depth.
This approach was not what Wan Xiu himself thought, but Shi Ji, the golden lion, who joined Wan Xiu's team in the middle of the war.
The Golden Lion, who has always wanted to control the world, got this rare opportunity and quickly exercised his power as the 'New World Overlord'. Of course, the Golden Lion alone cannot do this. When starting to implement this system, the Golden Lion must first obtain Wan Xiu's consent.
However, even though the entrance to the new world is now guarded by golden lions, people such as red-haired Shanks have not yet escaped the golden lion's observation.
This big pirate who was about to meet Whitebeard did not enter the Fish-Man Island from the Shampoo Islands and then enter the new world this time. Shanks' route this time was to break into the new world directly from the four seas through the windless zone.
Although there are countless Sea Kings in the Windless Zone, for the powerful red-haired Shanks, these Sea Kings are still unable to cause any damage to his pirate ship.
The red-haired Shanks, who bypassed the golden lion's eyes from the windless zone, did not stop at all, directly increased his power and sailed towards the sea area controlled by Whitebeard.
Since the windless zone Shanks chose was not very far from the sea area controlled by Whitebeard, red-haired Shanks had already found Whitebeard's flagship 'Mobydick' that afternoon.
"Dad, Shanks has arrived."
A pirate in charge of the lookout stood at the top of the mast. After he saw the red-haired pirate flag, he quickly shouted to the white beard below.
"Hmm, so soon?" Whitebeard, who was drinking, didn't expect Shanks to come over so quickly. It had not been two days since the red-haired letter was sent.
"Looking like this, he should have entered the new world directly from the Windless Zone. If he had come from Fish-Man Island, he would have definitely been stopped by Wanxiu's people."
Marco also analyzed from the side after hearing the news of the red hair's arrival.
Although the members of the Whitebeard Pirates have not sailed out of the sea areas they control, they are still well aware of the changes in the new world.
After decades of operation, the Whitebeard Pirates have spies in most places in the New World.
It is precisely because of this that Marco also knows some of the rules that Wanxiu has recently started to implement in the new world.
"It seems like it's an urgent matter." Whitebeard drank the drink in his hand, stood up, and walked towards the deck railing.
In the current new world, Red Hair, the former emperor of the sea, is now a pirate in the same situation as Whitebeard.
Although Whitebeard himself doesn't care much about Wanxiu's rise, Wanxiu's power is too huge now. Even if the Whitebeard Pirates don't provoke each other, there will inevitably be some friction after the two sides' spheres of influence come into contact.
And it is not impossible to communicate with the red hair and think about how to deal with it later.
As Whitebeard waited, the Red-haired Pirates' ship quickly came alongside the 'Moby-Dick'. Shanks, who was on the Red-haired Pirates' ship, jumped directly and came Arrived on the 'Moby Dick'.
Because the current situation is very different, the red hair was not too arrogant when he came to the flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates this time. Different from the scenes Wan Xiu had seen before, after the red-haired Shanks arrived on the deck of the Moby-Dick, he neither showed off his domineering aura nor drew his sword to compete with Whitebeard.
After the two sea emperors looked at each other, they sat on the floor on the deck, ready to start discussing.
At Whitebeard's greeting, Marco also brought a large bowl of wine for Shanks and placed it directly in front of Shanks.
"You came here this time for the Wan Xiu Ba?" Whitebeard raised his hand and took a sip of the drink Marco brought, and then said to Shanks who didn't make any move.
After Whitebeard asked, Shanks nodded slightly and replied: "Yes."
"I am not preparing to go to war with Wanxiu. If you are here to persuade me to go out and fight Wanxiu, then it goes without saying." Whitebeard put the bowl on the deck and said to Shanks in a deep voice.
The members of Whitebeard's own pirate group are all his 'sons', and if he fights a super pirate like Wan Xiu, casualties are inevitable. No matter who is killed by the opponent at that time, it will be unacceptable to Whitebeard.
Wanxiu's strength is no better than that of those stupid young people who have just entered the new world. Fighting with such a powerful pirate will never leave everyone intact.
Shanks seemed to know that Whitebeard would answer him in this way, so after Whitebeard finished speaking, Shanks said directly: "There is no need for the Whitebeard Pirates to attack Wanxiu. I am here just to repair in your sea area." a period of time."
"You want to stay here?" After hearing Shanks' words, Whitebeard frowned. Shanks must have some plan for doing this.
And if Shanks is preparing to attack suddenly when Wanxiu enters the rear of the new world, it is likely that the Whitebeard Pirates will be directly brought into the battlefield.
Therefore, Shanks' request was not the response Whitebeard wanted. From this point of view, Shanks was not here to discuss cooperation with him, but he already had a specific action plan.
The most likely point is that this guy has some kind of cooperation with the World Government or the Navy Headquarters.
In the four seas, the only one who can compete with Wan Xiu may be the World Government.
"Did you cooperate with those guys on the Red Earth Continent?" Whitebeard asked Shanks with confusion.
Shanks didn't hide it at this time, but nodded and said: "Yes."
