The Red-Haired Pirates disbanded, and "Four Emperors" Shanks surrendered!
While Aokiji was still busy making ice cubes and preparing to force out the Sea King, the sea, which had just had its gunpowder smoke faded a bit, was immediately shocked by the earth-shattering news.
Countless pirates screamed incomprehensibly and ran into the streets to vent their anger, reprimanding Shanks for not being worthy of being a pirate, but they could not change the fact that the "Yonko" had become a thing of the past.
On a deserted island, Kaido, who was living a life of living rough and drinking blood, looked at the newspaper in astonishment, then crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the bonfire.
"Tch, that kid is getting a lot cheaper!"
If he doesn't disband the pirates, Shanks's move is just a personal admission of defeat.
But precisely because he had previously disbanded the pirate group, Shanks' subsequent surrender represented a new world dominated by pirates, completely surrendering to the authority of the Holy Land.
To paraphrase Dahai, the first half of the Grand Line is called "Paradise," and the second half is the "New World."
It’s hard to say whether the big pirate who came out in the first half will be remembered in the second half.
The huge difference in the strength and quality of pirates has given New World an extremely high status in the hearts of pirates.
This has not changed for hundreds of years!
But now, it’s gone.
simply speaking…
The pirate's back is broken!
Knocked off by their own people!
No one knows the future era, but in this era, the pirates no longer have any room to resist.
Compared to the craziness of the pirates, the navy and ordinary people cheered for it.
Even if you don't understand the meaning of Shanks' surrender, you will understand it after the news newspaper spares no effort to distribute leaflets for free to promote it.
This was not one or two separate battlefield victories, but a victory in the entire battle.
For a time, the crowd was excited.
The cheers of countless people and the curses of countless people came one after another, making the sea boil and make it extremely noisy.
As the protagonist in this incident, Shanks was sitting across from Ron in the bright office in Pangu City, drinking tea.
The noise from the outside world did not affect the two people at the top of the holy land at all. Everything here was so peaceful and harmonious.
Ding ding!
Putting down the stirring silver spoon, it made a crisp knocking sound. Ron picked up the milk tea and took a sip under the gaze of Shanks whose mouth twitched crazily.
"The milk produced by Beihai cows is really good, fragrant but not greasy."
Shanks: "..."
I understand the logic, but why is it milk tea? !
(□′)┻━┻
Shaking his head with a wry smile, he also picked up the cup and tasted it.
Well, it's too sweet.
"Actually, I usually drink clear tea or black tea..."
Ron put down the tea cup and said, "But considering that we need to use our brains today, it is very important to replenish sugar, so I changed to drink something else."
coming!
Shanks' expression slowly calmed down and he looked at him seriously.
As expected, Ron then added: "By the way, should I call you Nibelung Shanks? Or should I call you Shanks Rocks?"
Shanks' name is very interesting. When he was still on Roger's ship, the reward order was the original "shanksroux"; later, Roger disbanded the pirate group and he set out from the West Sea to form the Red Haired Pirates. , only "shanks" are left.
This doesn't seem to be a problem. After all, government bounty orders have to keep pace with the times. Everyone calls him "Shanks", so the "roux" at the end is naturally unimportant and can be removed.
But the problem is that what is removed is "roux", Rocks! !
"Just call me Shanks!"
Thinking of the ridiculous things he had done, Shanks smiled and replied: "When I was a kid, I wasn't proud of being his son. That's why I put my name 'Shanks' in front of 'Rocks' The intention…”
Just like Ace, he also disagreed with his father Roger, so Portcas D Ace was born.
"But as you know later, the Five Old Stars found me. They asked me to make a choice, but I refused... So, in order not to arouse suspicion, they asked me to remove 'roux' and live as 'shanks' alone. "
“As for the Nibelungen…”
Shanks looked into Ron's eyes: "If I cared, do you think I would agree to their proposal?"
After all, he is also of Celestial Dragon origin. If Shanks wants to be rich and prosperous, the Five Old Stars have the means to help him enter the Holy Land.
But he doesn't want it.
I would rather abandon the privileges that are readily available to me and live freely in my own name.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Ron couldn't help but applaud.
"Awesome! Putting myself in your shoes, I don't think I can be as free and easy as you."
If in this life, the Soul Transmutation was replaced by a Celestial Dragon, Ron felt that he would not give up. That would be a terrifyingly high starting point for what he wanted to do.
But then again, if I traveled through time and became a Celestial Dragon, would I be bored with the endless tests of my loyalty and have thoughts of rebellion
The answer is in the eye of the beholder.
"Just like you disbanding the pirate group with ease."
Suddenly, Ron's voice changed.
"Aren't you afraid that I will send someone to kill them?"
"Don't be afraid!"
Shanks shook his head: "Because that will do no good except to make you angry."
"On the contrary, if I don't kill them, all the bad reputation will only be borne by me."
It's like advertising that the Celestial Dragons have been exterminated, or the true location of the One Piece, etc. If Ron does it, there will be endless troubles, but it's a pirate who does it, and it's none of Ron's business!
It sounds incredible, but it is true.
To solve the pirate's worship of "one piece" is actually that simple, just uncover her mysterious veil.
Even Im was put on the hunting list. Ron really didn't care about the so-called historical taboos.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Ron knew that when people spend a hundred and eighty yuan to go to the Forbidden City and run around until their legs hurt, their respect for the imperial power will disappear.
All worship comes from the unknown. Once you know it and are familiar with it, the superior gods will only get used to it and treat it with a normal heart.
So Ron really has this plan.
However, the initiative is now in Shanks' hands.
After a moment of silence, Ron nodded: "Indeed, there can be no stain on me."
"But the news of the genocide of the Tianlong people cannot be announced now."
"I know."
When the topic came to this point, Shanks breathed a sigh of relief: "I only told Jesus Bu and Lachilu. Until you completely stabilize the situation, those suspicions will always be just suspicions."
"Ravdrew has no choice... Everyone knows that I followed the captain to get there. Even if they say they don't know, no one will believe it."
"I look down upon you..."
Ron glanced at him: "But don't you know how many of them will die in this way?"
"so what?!"
Shanks had no consciousness of being a prisoner at all, and said with a faint smile: "Don't underestimate the consciousness of a pirate, Soryu!"
Did Roger think about this issue when he disbanded the pirate group
Thought about it.
Did Shanks think about this issue when he disbanded the pirate group
I've thought about it too.
Did Kaido think about this issue when he disbanded the pirate group
Uh... not necessarily.
All in all, they still did it.
This is the consciousness of pirates!
Joining a pirate group is not about joining some merchant association to seek shelter and stability. This group of sea warriors know better than anyone what it means to be a pirate.
Looting, fighting, massacring, chasing dreams, using blood and death to write courage, this is pirates.
They are not noble, but they are not humble either.
The biggest difference from ordinary people is that they are all a group of desperadoes.
But that's all.
will die
Doesn't being a pirate kill people
If someone betrays Shanks' will, the Navy will definitely support it with both hands and feet.
Pirates will regard this as a shame, because it is not just betrayal, but an abandonment of the dignity of being a pirate.
All in all, if you don't have any shame, we do.
