Feeling the looks from the officers and crew, Shanks quietly looked at the seven warships blocking the road in the distance.
"Hit, we... aren't here to watch the fun, but don't go too far."
What he said was excessive was to ask the crew to pay attention to conserving their physical strength.
After all, the main battlefield is not here.
In order to cope with various situations and accidents that may occur later, they must stay in as good a condition as possible.
Over there on the warship.
The navy who had been watching the Redfors soon noticed the actions of the red-haired pirates.
That's the signal to attack.
"Get ready to fight."
Garp looked at the Redfors in the distance with an expressionless expression.
It is not surprising to Garp that the red-haired pirates want to intervene in this war.
After all, this kind of thing can be considered a "criminal record".
The superiors placed him here, who was already semi-retired, as if they had the intention of letting him burn off his last bit of value.
The deeper reason…
Maybe it was because of his relationship with Long.
As for whether this name was given by the Five Old Stars or Akainu...
Cap didn't care.
Because he himself also wants such an opportunity to burn himself out.
"The final battle..."
Garp thought silently in his heart.
The figures of Roger, White Beard, Golden Lion, Warring States, Crane and others flashed through his mind.
The changing of times also means the retirement of the old guys.
Now it was finally his turn.
"Then let's make good use of the remaining heat!"
Garp's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce.
Even though the probability of completing the mission is very low, he still firmly believes that he can lead the force of seven warships to keep the Red-haired Pirates here.
Without such will, they would be instantly defeated by the red-haired pirates.
Seven warships and the Redfors cut through the waves and were closing the distance.
The battle is about to break out.
But just then...
A scream that could be described as horrific came from the sky.
The huge movement inevitably attracted the attention of the red-haired pirates and Garp.
Both parties subconsciously followed the sound and looked into the air.
I saw a ship with a lion's head as its bow falling straight from the sky to the sea.
It is the Sunshine of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Um?!"
After seeing the appearance of the ship, both Shanks and Garp were slightly shocked.
Under the gaze of everyone at sea, the Sunshine's butt faced the sea and was about to fall into the center of the military formations of both sides.
With such a falling force, the ship would be destroyed and everyone would be killed.
No wonder there were such miserable screams coming from the ship.
"The wind comes with the cannon!"
Just when the Sunshine was only a few dozen meters above the sea, Franky shouted.
The tail of the Sunshine suddenly spurted out a shock wave with strong white light, which hit the sea directly.
boom!
The power contained in the shock wave exploded, instantly setting off waves of turbulent air, and a large amount of sea water rose into the sky.
Take advantage of this wave of air.
The Sunshine's falling momentum was cushioned, and then it hit the sea hard.
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud bang.
The seawater that was hit hard flew into the air and fell like rain.
The hull of the Sunshine shook violently in the falling water curtain, and it took a moment to stabilize.
"Isn't the original plan to land directly on the Red Earth Continent?!"
"Why did it suddenly fall!!!"
"It's all Ace's fault. It's all his fault."
"Ha ha."
"Luffy, you are the culprit!!!"
"No way, I just..."
"Bang bang!"
"Let me reflect on it!"
There was a burst of noise on the deck of the Sunshine as the ship stabilized.
"Hey, something's wrong."
Usopp suddenly realized something. He looked at the sea around him, and his voice was slightly distorted.
Everyone then became quiet and finally noticed the Redfors and seven warships on the left and right sides.
"We seem to have fallen into an incredible position."
"Yeah, sadly..."
Nami covered her forehead weakly and said with a cry: "I don't think it's strange at all that this happened."
"It's Shanks' ship...!"
Luffy saw the Redfors, his eyes slowly opened wide, and he immediately forgot about the seven warships on the other side.
At the bow of the Redfors.
Shanks looked very surprised when he saw the Sunshine suddenly falling from the sky.
Garp on the other side was shocked.
"Luffy, Ace, why are you here!!!"
He was stunned at first, then yelled out the names of Luffy and Ace at the top of his lungs.
Hearing Garp's shouting, Luffy and Ace, who were still a little excited, were instantly stunned.
"Grandpa, why are you here!!!"
They asked in shock.
“I should be the one to answer this question!!!”
The veins on Garp's forehead stood out.
suddenly.
Garp seemed to realize something, and suddenly looked in the direction of the Red Earth Continent.
Coincidentally, Shanks seemed to sense something, and he and Garp looked towards the Red Earth Continent almost at the same time.
Something happened...
Chapter 568 The Black Dragon Appears
On top of the Red Continent.
Black clouds surged, seeming to press toward the ground.
The black and red lightning formed by the manifestation of the Overlord's color spread like branches and leaves in the night sky, and then turned into a halberd-shaped thunder light, piercing the night sky and falling in the holy land.
Buildings or streets struck by black and red lightning evaporated into nothing without exception.
As more and more black thunder struck down, the entire holy land became riddled with holes.
A sacred place that used to be majestic and exuded majesty.
Now, looking from a distance, it looks like a small temple drifting in a violent storm.
The person who contributed to this situation was the confrontation between Mord and Im.
The duel between the two seemed to overthrow the entire holy land, and there was no skill at all.
What is competing is just the maximum release of energy from both sides.
Use drugs to forcibly expand the upper limit, and then convert this upper limit into offensive energy.
Whoever cannot keep up will be defeated.
In the eyes of others, this kind of battle looks like a wave...
Not flashy, but extremely scary.
Both Mod and Im gave their all in this battle.
Who wins and who loses is not yet known.
But for both parties, only one thing is certain.
That is this pure duel. It may last for ten days and ten nights, or it may end in the next moment.
Every second that goes forward is filled with infinite possibilities.
And they spent everything they had just waiting for that moment to arrive.
"Almost reaching the limit..."
Maude kept attacking Im.
He had already taken nearly fifty pills of the poison in one go.
The entire body was driven by the intuitive effect of the medicine, and the power transformed by sacrificing the cells in the body was poured into Im without reservation from beginning to end.
However-
In these thousands of rounds of confrontation, there was still no opportunity to give Im a fatal blow.
The tenacity shown by the other party made Maude secretly shocked.
The effect of the reconnaissance skills brought by the hunter's notes can no longer even be seen in Im's current star rating.
He must have broken through to a level far beyond ten stars just like him.
But the question is, can this monster in front of me, which seems to be immune to the erosion of time, continue to take medicine
Although there is no detailed count of how many pills Im took, it must have been far more than 50.
If Imna's body hidden in the white robe could continue to bear the side effects of the medicine.
So.
This battle…
"I might lose."
A whisper passed through Maud's mind.
If defeated.
