Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

New world, a certain winter island.

Ben Beckman placed a piece of information on the wine table in front of red-haired Shanks, he frowned and said:

“Boss, the recent events at the Pirate World Expo have caused a stir in the pirate world. What do you think?”

Hearing this, the red-haired Shanks had no choice but to put down the bowl of wine in his hand, picked up the intelligence information in front of him and read it roughly.

“Captain Roger’s great secret treasure…? What an interesting rumor.”

Ben Beckman was afraid that his captain would miss the above information, so he could only quickly add:

“It is said that Blackbeard Teach and Tenyasha Doflamingo are also involved. What should we do here?”

“Tikki…”

The red-haired man paused slightly when he picked up the wine bowl again, his eyes showed a trace of solemnity, and his tone seemed a bit inexplicable.

Swish-!

A crimson light flashed, and a space door suddenly opened.

Sephiroth, who was wearing a black suit, holding a butcher knife in his right hand and a jar of wine in his left hand, stepped out of the space door and walked in front of the red-haired Shanks.

Seeing this scene, Jesus Bu, Laqi Lu and others who were drinking and chatting not far away immediately gathered around.

Although they knew that Sephiroth had a relationship with their boss, one was the Admiral of the Navy and the other was the Four Emperors. They were opposites in terms of their stances, so it was reasonable for them to be wary.

Compared to his younger brother who was on full alert, the red-haired Shanks looked very calm and calm. He smiled and said hello to the silver-haired young man in front of him:

“Yo! Isn’t this Sephiroth? Why did you come to me suddenly?”

“I’m here to have a drink with you and discuss some things.”

As he spoke, Sephiroth placed the one-meter-high wine jar in his left hand on the wine table and opened the seal of the wine jar.

The red-haired Shanks stood up, put his nose close to the mouth of the altar, sniffed, and praised:

“Well, a rare good wine!”

“Actually, since I had that drink with you six years ago, I have stopped drinking and have never had any alcohol.”

“Ah! Why!?” Red-haired Shanks said in surprise.

“Something happened at that time, and I felt that drinking was a waste of time, so I stopped drinking.”

Sephiroth casually took the two wine bowls on the wine table, picked up the wine jar, and slowly poured the clear wine into them.

“Then why do you say you want to drink with me now…?”

“Because what I plan to discuss with you today is very important, so no matter what the outcome is, I think I should bring a jar of good wine.”

“Oh!? What are you going to talk to me about?”

The red-haired Shanks raised his hand and picked up the wine bowl on the table, but did not drink. His tone was full of curiosity.

Hearing this, Sephiroth did not answer in a hurry. He first picked up another bowl of wine, “Gudu! Gudu!” After a few times, he drank it completely, and then he said:

“Shanks, if possible, I don’t want to be your enemy.

Therefore, can you make an offer and hand over your territory to me? ”

Hearing this, the red-haired Shanks immediately placed the wine bowl filled with wine on the table again. His eyes were as sharp as knives and he said seriously:

“Sephiroth, my territory cannot be bought with money…”

“Of course I know this.”

Sephiroth looked calm, and he picked up the wine jar and refilled the bowl of wine.

“The navy is already in Inazuma…well! It should be said that it is Wano Country.

After all, that country is still closed to the outside world, and you probably don’t know that that country has changed its name.

Now the navy has established a military base in the hinterland of the new world, Wano.

In the near future, the Navy will build a new base on the Red Earth Continent, where the original Upside Down Mountain was located, and send heavy troops to guard it.

In other words, your Yonko Pirates will face a situation of being attacked from both sides in the future.

Therefore, I also say it bluntly, I will end this era of great pirates at all costs, and you, the Yonko Pirates, are the first to bear the brunt. ”

After hearing these words, before Red-haired Shanks could say anything, the other members of the Red-haired Pirates had already put their hands on their weapons and glared at Sephiroth with murderous eyes.

“In other words, if I don’t sell my territory to you, will we have to fight against each other in the future?” Red-haired Shanks sighed.

“Yes! That’s why I came to you for a drink today.

If we can reach an agreement, this is a celebration drink, but if we can’t reach an agreement…”

Sephiroth didn’t say the rest of the words, but red-haired Shanks already understood.

If the sale fails, benevolence and righteousness will also be gone.

“This is really a difficult multiple-choice question.”

While talking, red

Fashanks picked up the wine bowl on the table again, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

Finally, he let out a long stream of white mist from his mouth.

“What a rare and good wine!

I don’t want to talk about things now. I just want to finish the drink first, okay? ”

“no problem.”

After receiving Sephiroth’s reply, red-haired Shanks immediately stood up, picked up the wine jar and refilled the wine bowl with wine…

In this way, in a tense atmosphere, the two drank one bowl after another in silence and drank the wine in front of them.

After a while, the red-haired Shanks poured the last drop of wine from the wine jar into the wine bowl in front of him. He looked at the half bowl of wine in the bowl and sighed:

“It seems that now it’s time to make a choice…”

After saying that, he drank the last half of the bowl of wine in small sips.

After finishing all this, the red-haired Shanks’ eyes burned brightly and he said seriously:

“Sephiroth, since you want my territory.

Then have a fight with me!

If you win, I will give you the territory, but if you lose, then I will keep your life…”

No matter how talkative red-haired Shanks usually is, he is still the Yonko, so he must not be vague about some issues of principle.

If he just sold his territory to Sephiroth, he would not only lose his majesty, but also let down those who trusted him.

but……

Red-haired Shanks also knew how dangerous the man in front of him was!

If an all-out war really breaks out, both his crew and his territory will definitely suffer heavy losses in the future.

Therefore, he proposed this compromise plan.

Sephiroth nodded and said calmly:

“In that case, let’s have a fight!”

Seeing this, Red-haired Shanks immediately issued an order to his crew to leave the island.

In the next battle, he will directly face Sephiroth, an unfathomably powerful enemy. He needs to go all out, so he has no time to take care of his crew.

Soon, except for Ben Beckman who was still watching, the other members of the red-haired pirate group evacuated to the ship and left the island.

“Ever since I learned that you defeated Hawkeye, I have always wanted to find a chance to compete with you.”

The red-haired Shanks pressed his right hand on the hilt of the famous sword Griffin. There was a surging fighting spirit in his eyes. Dark red thunder and lightning continued to burst out from his body. The pressure was as heavy as a mountain, causing the surrounding There were cracks on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Sephiroth was not to be outdone, and immediately burst out with his overbearing domineering energy and collided with the opponent.

boom-!

Two overbearing and majestic overlord colors kept colliding and rolling, causing the sky and the earth to change color. The thick clouds were torn apart with the two people as the center, and the island’s crust even experienced waves of subtle tremors, which spread to the sea. Above, waves rippled.

The moment when two people confront each other, their momentum reaches its peak…

Swish-!

The figures of the two people suddenly changed from extremely still to extremely moving. They wrapped themselves in a layer of overlord color. After shielding their own auras, they drew their swords out of their sheaths at the same time and rushed towards each other.

Cang-! Cang-! Cang-! …

Sparks splashed in the air, and the sound of gold and iron could be heard.

The figures of the two turned into two afterimages, and they waved the long knives in their hands again and again, also adopting the strategy of fighting fast.

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged dozens of moves.

Sephiroth, who was holding two swords, dodged and took the initiative to distance himself. He sighed softly:

“Red-haired Shanks, you are worthy of being a man who has risen to the position of Four Emperors by relying solely on your domineering power and sword skills. Your strength should not be underestimated!

If you don’t show some real skills, it’s really hard to win against you. ”

As he spoke, he quickly entered the awakening state of the vampire fruit, greatly increasing his strength and speed, causing his momentum to rise again.

“Tsk! What you said is really unpleasant.”

The red-haired Shanks smiled helplessly, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously tightened the long knife in his hand.

After just a brief fight, he already knew that Sephiroth was on par with him in terms of domineering and sword skills, but the opponent was a Devil Fruit user with unknown abilities…

Sephiroth shrugged and said with a smirk:

“No way, domineering and sword skills are not all of my strength. If you feel that you are at a disadvantage, you can also find a powerful devil fruit and eat it when the time comes.”

“Forget it! I don’t want to become a landlubber.” Red-haired Shanks said with a speechless expression.

next moment.

Swish-!

After a brief chat, the two of them came to a stand again.

However……

What surprised the red-haired Shanks was that when Sephiroth attacked again, his current speed was about six times faster than before, which made him overwhelmed and fell into a situation where he was firmly suppressed.

Cang-!

In the flash of lightning, Sephiroth first used the Dark Flame Sword in his left hand to forcefully block red-haired Shanks’ Griffin.

Then, he placed the butcher knife in his right hand firmly on the latter’s neck.

next moment.

Ben Beckman also appeared next to Sephiroth, raised his rifle and pointed it at his head at close range to prevent him from making further movements.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the venue became a little solemn.

“Hey, I lost! From now on, my territory will belong to you.”

Red-haired Shanks smiled bitterly and put the Griffin in his hand into the scabbard, and motioned to Ben Beckman to put away the gun and not to make things too tense.

Immediately, Sephiroth also sheathed his sword and said in a deep voice:

“Well! Although the outcome has been decided, I can’t take your territory in vain. My previous promise is still valid… Tell me your conditions!

As long as it’s not too much, I can promise you. ”

Hearing this, red-haired Shanks immediately hugged Sephiroth’s shoulders, and he chuckled:

“Really? In that case, I won’t be polite.

Do you still have the wine you just brought?

If so, give me two more… No! I want twenty altars!

Let the brothers have a drink with me! ”

“No problem, I promise to take care of enough!” Sephiroth responded with a smile and a nod.
