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

Took out the samurai sword he carried with him.

In his opinion, Shanks had more or less walked into a dead end.

It was okay for Shanks to walk into a dead end. With this guy's qualifications and talents, he would be able to walk out soon.

But when he walked out, he might not be there.

When Shanks heard what Madara said, he did not feel that Madara was making things difficult for him.

Instead, he directly used his observation Haki.

As his vision entered another level, Shanks saw the dense cracks on Madara's samurai sword in the black and white world. In addition, he also felt the proud breath coming from the sword.

It was obviously just an ordinary sword, but the belief on it was extremely huge. This belief allowed the sword that had been broken long ago to still be unsheathed after such a long time.

Shanks could not fully perceive the samurai sword in Madara's hand, but this vague perception was enough.

It was obviously an ordinary sword, but it had gone through countless battles with its owner and survived countless battles.

It was not the sword that was strong, but because of the owner of the sword.

Under the pride of despising everything and looking down on all living things, this ordinary samurai sword accompanying its master has also become the most trustworthy weapon in the hands of that man.

And this pride is what the samurai sword in Madara's hand bears.

"Pride, it is proud because it has experienced countless battles with you.

If it were not for Senior Madara, it would just be an ordinary sword, but you brought it to the battlefield and defeated the opponent countless times."

"The only belief on this sword is pride, and this is also your belief, Senior Madara."

"Such a proud belief makes this sword not succumb to anyone or any difficulties.

Even if it is full of cracks, it is still the sharpest sword in the hands of the senior."

"Oh? Won't succumb to anyone?"

Madara pulled out his samurai sword with interest after hearing what Shanks said.

As Shanks said, this sword is already full of cracks.

How could an ordinary sword fight against a monster-level opponent like Hashirama?

But this sword did it.

The strong pride makes it persist. Even if its body is broken, it is still sharp.

But the real power is not the weapon, but me, the master. Not to mention the weapon, even if it is the embodiment of will, it will also succumb to me, the master.

Madara thought of this and shook his head.

"Why would it succumb to me?"

"Not succumb, but trust."

Shanks shook his head.

"Even if you, Madara-senpai, can no longer swing the sword one day, it will continue to fight with you.

Until... your body can no longer bear this pride."

"But, if the weapon in Madara-senpai's hand will succumb to itself, how can such a weapon carry out Madara-senpai's beliefs."

"Since you can become a weapon in the hands of the senior, you must inherit the pride of Madara-senpai. Everything will change, but a person's will will not change."

Shanks took out his sword.

The blade that carries out the will of freedom.

No matter what is in the way, he has the momentum to cut off this bondage. This is Shanks' will and belief.

The belief of being a strong man.

"Only in this way can you be worthy of me?"

Ban was stunned.

That's right, it's not just him, Uchiha Madara, the proud Uchiha clan has always been like this.

If the weapon in his hand succumbs to his master, how can this kind of garbage become his weapon.

He, Uchiha Madara, doesn't need this kind of garbage at all. Pride is Madara's greatest belief.

No matter who the opponent is, he, Uchiha Madara, has the belief that he has defeated the opponent, and this belief is pride.

Even if the person he has to face one day is himself, this pride will not be lost.

"Wait...if that's the case."

Ban suddenly figured it out at this moment.

Yes, it's Black Zetsu.

In this way, Black Zetsu's identity is very suspicious.

As the incarnation of his own will, he did not inherit his pride.

The incarnation of my Uchiha Madara's will doesn't even dare to resist the main body. Is this still my incarnation of will?

If it is from the past, Madara thinks that Black Zetsu is indeed fine.

Who am I, Uchiha Madara? It's normal to have such an incarnation of will. As the incarnation of your own will, it's normal to obey your own orders.

But Shanks said so.

How can Black Zetsu be the incarnation of his will? I am the incarnation of Uchiha Madara's will, but I have been a slave to someone for decades.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Although Madara is proud, he is not brainless.

If that thing is really the incarnation of his will, he should have found a way to get rid of his original body on the first day it appeared.

After all, I am Uchiha Madara, what kind of garbage are you? An old thing, you have no ability, you say you are the original body? Are you worthy?

After thinking about it, although it is strange to say this, this is the idea.

"I was calculated.

Then what is that thing? There are countless opportunities to kill me, but it didn't do it, but promoted all these plans."

"So Black Zetsu is using me?"

At this moment, Madara suddenly understood.

That's right, he must have been plotted against.

Even the shameful Uchiha clan like Obito wanted to take the power of the Six Paths Sage as their own after the plan was completed.

Even a mentally ill person like Uchiha Itachi would not be loyal.

And he is still Uchiha Madara after all, and the incarnation of his own will is not even as good as someone like Obito? impossible.

"Madara-senpai, what's wrong?"

Shanks said worriedly as he looked at Madara who was getting darker and darker.

"It's okay, I just thought of something that I haven't finished yet. Unfortunately, there is no time."

Madara sighed, realizing it was too late now, and he didn't have much time to deal with Black Zetsu.

“Leave your dreams and beliefs to the next generation to inherit.

People will always die, but as long as beliefs and dreams can be passed on, death will also become meaningful. "

Shanks sighed.

Not just Madara, but himself as well.

After all, he is also a Yonko, and he actually puts the future on Luffy.

"Inherit? The next generation is not capable of inheriting such beliefs and dreams. Not everyone is you, Shanks."

"Not everyone is me. There are some things that only I can do."

Madara was dismissive. People at their level were different from ordinary people.

Shanks actually said something about letting the next generation inherit. It was ridiculous. In this era, Madara couldn't find anyone who could stand up to him.

If you don't even have the qualifications to fight against yourself, how can you help yourself get rid of Hei Jue?

"My pride is never about myself.

But I believe that there are more people stronger than me in the sea and in this world. I am different from you, Madara-senpai. "

"My belief and pride is to believe in the future."

Shanks didn't know what Madara was going to do, but he and Madara were completely different, and Madara's pride came from himself.

Shanks also has his own pride. His most powerful belief is the countless strong men who emerged in the Age of Discovery.

He will just become one of them.

"What if there is no future?"

"Then I will risk everything to create a future that can carry on my beliefs."

Shanks blushed.

When he said these words, the domineering aura in his body bloomed involuntarily, risking everything for the future.

Even Shanks himself can create a new era, but a new era still needs people who inherit that belief, or... many people.

Boom! !

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and Shanks looked firmly at Madara in front of him. This was Shanks' belief.

Madara looked at the sky, got up and left.

At this moment, he seemed to be a helpless old man, his rickety body seemed a little lonely, and his only companion was the knife that had accompanied him all the way from the Warring States Period.

"looks like it's going to rain."

Madara's voice came.

He does not think that anyone will be able to inherit Shanks' beliefs and dreams in the future. Madara's pride is indeed a pride that starts from himself.

But for Shanks, he agreed.

Shanks' strength, Shanks' courage,

Even I don't have that kind of courage.

For such a person, even if someone can inherit this guy's dreams and beliefs, it can only be himself.

What Shanks can't do, only Uchiha Madara can do it, others? Are you qualified?

Buzz! !

At this moment, Shanks sensed a flash of momentum, the kind of momentum that exploded from Madara.

The pride of standing in the sky, the arrogance of overlooking all living beings, this ultimate belief.

Overlord color!

Everything Shanks has experienced, Madara has experienced.

Madara has already experienced the so-called sage mode and the so-called reverse power.

In other words, Madara has the hardware requirements for "overlord color and domineering".

At this moment, Madara's pride allowed him to break his shackles.

Whether it is out of pride for oneself, or this belief that has been implemented for decades, Madara's will and strength are combined.

How could he, Uchiha Madara, tolerate his pride and beliefs being trampled on?

Overlord color and domineering energy cannot be acquired through acquired cultivation. This is because not everyone can possess the qualifications of a king.

But now Madara already possesses this qualification.

Because his pride does not allow for "surrender".
