On the battlefield.
The Navy, the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Ghost Hand Pirates are in a three-party confrontation situation. Although the Navy is in the best condition to wait for work, it is impossible to completely destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.
If the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates join forces, they can defeat the Navy, but there is no doubt that joining forces is simply impossible.
"Red hair… "
Marco stood on a raised ice rock and looked in the direction of Shanks.
Ame Shiru slowly lowered the blade.
Everyone slowly put down what they were doing.
In this complete melee situation, the appearance of red hair is enough to change the entire battle situation. Once he joins the battlefield, it will inevitably evolve into the largest battle since the era of great pirates.
And in this case, the situation of the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will be very bad, because the cadres of both sides are already at their limit.
Tread, step, step.
Shanks wore wooden clogs, stepped on the ice, and walked slowly to the field.
He did not release Overlord Color's domineering energy. If he released Overlord Color in this situation, it would be tantamount to provoking the three forces at the same time, and a bloody battle would be inevitable.
"We meet again, redhead."
Ross stood on the ice with his torso upright, looking at the red-haired Shanks walking over, and spoke in a leisurely tone.
The last time we met was in Xihai.
At that time, he had not yet entered the Grand Line and was still struggling under the pursuit of the navy. He worked hard to fight his way out of the Western Sea. The gap between him and Shanks was immeasurable.
But more than six years later, everything has been turned upside down.
Today, he is one of the Four Emperors, and his strength stands at the pinnacle of the sea. Even Whitebeard is no longer his opponent.
“…”
Ross's words caused everyone present to look at Ross. They looked back and forth between Ross and the red-haired person, and they all showed a bit of strangeness.
Have Ghost Hands and Red Hair met
When was it? Why have I never heard of it
"ah."
Shanks nodded and said with deep eyes, "Time flies so fast."
Aoki Pheasant stood not far away, looking at Shanks with a hint of solemnity and vigilance, and said, "What are you doing here?"
Although it is difficult for their navy to destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates at the same time, they undoubtedly have a huge advantage. However, if the Red Hair Pirates appear and intervene in this battlefield, the situation will be completely different.
This is a situation the navy does not want to see.
Shanks stopped, turned his head to look at Aokiji, then looked at Momo Usagi, Kizaru, Marco, Fujitora, Ame no Shiru and others, and said:
"There is no point in continuing this battle. It will only endlessly expand casualties, and your navy will gain little benefit."
"What do you want to say?"
Peach Rabbit looked at red-haired Shanks coldly.
Shanks' eyes paused on Peach Rabbit for a moment and said: "I'm here... to stop this war. This battle can end here."
"Think carefully before you speak, redhead."
The tea dolphin put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at Shanks from a distance, and said slowly: "Do you want to stop the navy from dealing with the pirates?"
After Cha Dou finished speaking, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became sharp.
However.
At this time, the red-haired pirates' ship rested on the ice. Vice-captain Beckman and a large number of senior officers of the red-haired pirates stepped onto Iceland and walked towards the field.
The appearance of the officers of the red-haired pirate group instantly made the atmosphere depressing.
Unlike Marco, Ame no Shiru and others who fought for three days and two nights, everyone in the red-haired pirate group was in peak condition!
"No."
Shanks spoke slowly and said: "I didn't mean that. There are too many things that I have to fight because of my position, but this battle should end here. If it continues, it will only continue to expand the losses."
Ross looked at the red-haired Shanks with his hands behind his hands. No one knew what he was thinking.
In the memory of the War at the Top, Shanks used a tough attitude to prevent the subsequent development of the war. Blackbeard did not want to fight Shanks at the Navy Headquarters, and the Navy did not want to pursue Whitebeard at the same time. Facing the red-haired pirates and the blackbeard pirates.
However, the current situation is completely different from the war on the top. Neither Whitebeard nor Rhodes are obviously willing to give in. A tough attitude will only worsen the situation, so Shanks showed a calm and calm attitude.
“…”
Shanks' words caused everyone to fall into silence.
If Shanks had not appeared, Aokiji and the others would have continued to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Ghost Hand Pirates, but Shanks had appeared. If they continued to fight, there was no guarantee that Shanks would not intervene. The situation would be extremely unfavorable.
As for Whitebeard and Ghost Hand, not to mention, except for Ross, who still saved nearly one-third of his physical strength. The other people's physical strength is on the verge of reaching its limit, and their combat effectiveness is at a loss.
If they continue to fight, even beings like Ame Shiru and Marco may die here.
Ross looked at Shanks.
"Red hair."
"Um?"
Shanks looked over.
Clang!
Ross put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and pulled out the blade.
In the next moment, Ross disappeared suddenly. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Shanks. The blade in his hand was wrapped in a twisted halo of chaos, and suddenly hit Shanks.
Shanks's face darkened. The moment Ross drew his sword, his hand was already on the hilt. When Ross appeared in front of him, his sword was already in his hand. Ross waved up.
Time seemed to slow down extremely slowly.
Under everyone's gaze, Ross's sword blade and Shanks' sword edge moved closer inch by inch, and finally collided together.
Clang!
Sparks flew.
A chaotic twisting power suddenly erupted, surging in all directions, shattering the ice beneath Ross and Shanks' feet, and instantly expanding to dozens of meters!
At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky also opened a crack like an abyss with the collision of the sword!
"Ghost hands!"
Among the red-haired pirates behind Shanks, someone's expression changed.
In this unfavorable situation, will Rhodes choose to continue fighting? Kaido, the beast, is somewhat sane. No matter how crazy Ross is, he will not be a crazier beast than Kaido, who will fight anyone he catches.
Click! Click!
The ice surface under the feet of Ross and Shanks was crushed and collapsed by the force of distortion. After that, countless fragmented ravines appeared in the lower area, spreading in all directions.
When everything stopped, Ross and Shanks were seen standing face to face, sword blades touching each other. Except that the ice under their feet was not broken, the ice surface with a radius of tens of meters had already appeared as if it had been hit by a meteorite. A huge crater!
