He has even practiced his Haki, and you say this is Naruto?

"Ah, my biggest dream, Shanks, is to become the freest man on this ocean."

Shanks said excitedly.

Although Madara didn't understand what Shanks was talking about, he didn't bother to pursue it.

The only purpose of his coming here was to see the strength of the man in front of him and to see if this man could create a new era.

"A boring dream."

Madara slowly cut off a piece of meat and tasted it carefully.

Although the fish meat was filled with a fishy smell and there were no ingredients, Madara looked like he was enjoying it.

This was the first time in twenty years that he had tasted it with his tongue instead of relying on the nutrient solution.

Likewise, today's "fight" with Shanks was the first time he used that kind of power in twenty years.

At this time, Madara just felt extremely relaxed. Although he could clearly feel that the vitality of his body was fading, it didn't matter now.

Shanks was not angry when Madara said this.

No matter how you look at it, the old man in front of you is a person with a story. To him, his dream seems to be just a dream, right?

Just like those pirates who laughed at Luffy's dream.

But the old man is different from those short-sighted pirates. The old man in front of him has obviously experienced too much.

Judging from the old man's age, let alone Rocks' era, the old man has experienced the era before Rocks.

It is precisely because of this that it is like this.

“Even if it’s a boring dream, you have to work hard to realize it.”

Seeing Shanks' appearance, Madara seemed to see the former Hashirama in a trance.

Although the Shanks in front of him didn't have any lofty ambitions, his determined look was exactly the same.

"I have a friend who is very similar to you. I hope you can realize your dreams like him."

Madara's voice was cold, but there was a hint of loneliness in this coldness.

There was so much going on between him and Hashirama.

It's not just him, it's also a matter between their brothers. All kinds of things that happened in the past, as time goes by, those memories will often surface.

Madara knew that he was getting old.

Shanks also saw the lonely look on Madara's face.

"Former companions?"

"He's the only one left."

He didn't know whether he died on the sea or whether he lived in peace in his old age, but judging from the old man's behavior in front of him, his former companions must have died in the battle.

"well."

Shanks didn't understand and wouldn't ask any more questions.

This is the fate of men on the sea. Perhaps compared to those who die on the battlefield or during adventures, it is the most tragic for a man to die alone in a deserted place.

Shanks had even thought about it.

The old man in front of me went to sea with his companions when he was young.

He used to be unruly, he used to be high-spirited.

But as time went by, his companions left one by one, and in his later years, the old man could only escape alone and came to this deserted place to wait for death in peace.

The old man's health was so bad that Shanks really couldn't figure out his purpose for coming here. After much deliberation, there was only one option - waiting to die.

In his last time, he spent his last life remembering the past again.

Look, he showed a look of nostalgia again.

Shanks' intuition is still very sharp, and Madara did remember the past just now.

“Ah, I’m full.

I haven’t felt so full for a long time. "

In less than a moment, Shanks ate the remaining half of the fish.

Madara next to him was stunned, and he only came back to his senses.

No, why were the fish gone in such a short period of time?

And how can you finish eating such a big fish?

"Hiccup~"

Shanks burped lazily.

"I want to go back."

"I just need a place to live."

Madara was not polite at all, and with a serious expression on his face, he had no intention of discussing with Shanks.

He also stood up.

Although the Sharingan is not as useful as the Byakugan, Madara still noticed that something was wrong with Shanks' chakra.

It's like there is no chakra at all.

"Well, my name is Shanks, I haven't asked your name yet."

"You'll find out later."

Madara took his katana and replied.

"I'm tired, go back and rest quickly."

After hearing Madara's words, Shanks also became excited.

What a weird old man, but now that he finally has someone, he won't be so boring anymore.

Moreover, the opponent's strength is not bad, much stronger than Zhan. I can ask the old man more about his cultivation in the future.

The two returned to the wooden house by the lake, and Madara walked into the room where Zabuza had been without looking back.

He was tired after just one move with Shanks.

Sure enough, I am too old and there is no way I can use my body like this anymore.

"By the way, my name is Madara."

After saying that, Madara closed the door and walked into the house.

Uchiha Madara didn't even bother to hide his name.

"spot?"

Shanks didn't remember this name.

"Forget it, this is the test server of the Pirate World after all. It's normal that there are many people I don't know, but Mr. Madara's character is quite similar to that of the Hokage next door."

Shanks also returned to his room, and soon the snoring started.

The next day, Shanks started practicing as usual. The only difference was that there was an old man beside him.

Chapter 20 What kind of protagonist configuration!

Shanks always felt something was strange after Madara appeared.

Especially when he was practicing, the old man would always look at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"The painting style of One Piece World should be relatively normal."

"No one asked me to break off the engagement, and I don't have a ring on me."

Shanks thought for a moment, and fate arranged for him to have an old man come over, but the route he took was not a waster at all.

As far as my current situation is concerned, I am completely following the path of genius and invincibility. I have been making progress and have no intention of stopping.

"Senior Madara, what do you think of me?"

Madara has been looking at Shanks for several days, and Shanks can also see that the old man clearly wants to give him advice, but every time he is about to speak, he takes it back.

Well, now Shanks doesn't pretend anymore. Since this old man is so proud, he should take the initiative. Besides, after so many days, I think the old man also knows what he is capable of.

"Um?"

Madara was stunned for a moment, not expecting Shanks to come over and ask him.

How about it?

Do you have the nerve to ask how you are doing? Don’t you know what the Uzumaki clan’s family ninjutsu is? Who taught you to practice like this?

Thinking of this, Banqi couldn't help but feel angry.

Although he is also a peerless genius, an unprecedented type of genius, Uchiha Madara also follows the traditional path of cultivation.

Compare Shanks, what does Shanks practice? Uchiha Madara had never seen such an abstract training method before. It was completely illogical. There was no such thing as chakra training or chakra attributes.

However, Shanks is so strong, which shows that Shanks's abstract training method, although it seems illogical, is completely feasible.

"It's okay, your talent is not inferior to mine."

Of course, it was impossible for Madara to say such words.

If you say it out loud, won't the other person know that they don't understand?

It's okay if you don't know now. The other party may not know your true identity, but if you resurrect yourself in a few years, it will be very embarrassing.

"Senior Madara, is there anything I need to improve in my practice?"

Shanks' tone was very sincere. After finally meeting a strong man, he, a layman, should ask him for advice.

But when Madara heard these words, he felt completely different.

Ridicule, naked ridicule, especially those sincere and sincere eyes, complete ridicule.

"Everyone has a direction that everyone wants to take. Your talent is not inferior to mine, and you are destined to find your own path in the future."

"The so-called areas that need improvement in practice are all determined by one's own talent."

Although he was unhappy, Madara still said what he said honestly.

Neither he nor Hashirama are good teachers. This does not mean that their level is not good enough, but that their level is too high and the lower limit is too high.

The lower limit of this kind of genius is already the upper limit of others. If you let such a genius be a teacher, how can you do it well?

As for Shanks, it's obvious that he is not the one-in-a-million genius, but he himself doesn't know about this, and neither does Madara.

"My talent?"

Shanks thought for a while, isn't his talent the Haki of knowledge and Haki and the Haki of Overlord?

"My talents are Bawang Haki and Knowledge Haki, but I don't know how to cultivate these two types of Haki, hahaha."

Shanks smiled awkwardly. After a period of sudden and rapid progress, his knowledge-color Haki and Overlord-color Haki stagnated.

"I know a lot about the domineering power of the emperor, but I have very little exposure to the domineering power of the king."

Madara replied that he had already understood the power of Shanks's Haki, but having only been exposed to the power of Haki once, Madara still didn't quite understand it.

If the previous Shanks relied on the so-called "sense and color Haki" formed by the bloodline and special power of the Uzumaki clan, then the current Shanks is completely free of that power.

The same is true for Madara now. Because of this, Madara can see more clearly.

The real Madara died more than ten years ago.

Now Madara is just using Hashirama's power to stay in the human world, and Hashirama's immortal power has caused some changes in Madara's body.

This makes Madara more sensitive to natural energy, and also makes Madara more aware of the so-called "Sage Mode".

Shanks' "Seeing Color Haki" does not require chakra, and it is different from the Uzumaki clan's Leshen's mind.

Shanks's power of knowledge and color now relies entirely on natural energy.

Whether it is the perception ninjutsu of ordinary ninjas or the Leshen Eye of the Uzumaki clan, they are actually a type of perception technology, relying on chakra or other energy to perceive.
