General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 155 Whitebeard, Shanks

New World, Sphinx Island.

A pirate ship shaped like a giant white whale was moored quietly on the shore. On the top of the cliff facing the sea, a pirate team of several hundred people was holding a banquet.

The banquet was full of laughter and laughter, and the pirates with strong auras and majestic bodies were drinking and chatting happily. It was very lively.

"Speaking of the red-haired Shanks guy, he is really amazing. I never thought that he, who was once just a young intern in the Roger Pirates, would one day stand shoulder to shoulder with his father and become the emperor of the sea in the new world! Things are unpredictable. , it’s really touching.”

Team 7 captain Lakyo, who has dreadlocks, holds a bottle of wine in his hand and his face is full of emotion.

He is a veteran figure in the Whitebeard Pirates, and is older than Marco, the captain of the first team.

"Captain Lacjo! The red-haired man is indeed strong, but if he is now comparable to his father, we won't agree."

"That's right, that's right! Dad is the strongest! No matter if it's Kaido, Big Mom, or Red Hair, compared to dad, they are just junior boys! Dad is on par with Roger, the Pirate King. What a legend!”

The pirates who drank too much were a little unconvinced and muttered one after another.

"Of course I know that dad is the strongest! There is no doubt about it. I'm just feeling a little emotional. By the way..."

Lakyo held the wine bottle in his hand and touched it with a stout, dark-skinned man sitting opposite him, who was missing a few front teeth.

"Speaking of which, Di Qi, when our Whitebeard Pirates fought against the Roger Pirates, the red-haired and red-nosed brat were always your opponents. Now I hear that my former rival has become the fourth Emperor, don’t you have any feelings?”

Di Qi grinned, poured a few gulps of wine into his bearded mouth, and then picked up a piece of cherry pie and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

"Hahaha, Captain Lacjo, after so many years, don't you understand my character? I don't have that kind of ambition. I am very satisfied if I can stay on my father's ship and be with everyone."

"You, you are in the limelight after all. The position of captain of the second division has been vacant for many years. I think that with your qualifications and strength, you are fully qualified. How about I go and tell my dad? I think everyone will have no objection, right?"

"That's right! Di Qi, if you come to serve as the captain of the second division, none of us will have any objections!"

"Yes, yes, speaking of it, Di Qi has saved a lot of people's lives. He himself is very powerful, and he works extra hard and spends so much time practicing every day."

Listening to the voices of his companions, Di Qi still smiled innocently, his cheeks kept moving, and he chewed the cherry pie in his mouth.

"Don't put me on the fire. I really don't have that ambition, and my strength is completely insufficient. The position of captain of the second team is not something that just anyone can hold. Everyone knows this." "

Lakyue saw Di Qi's reaction and couldn't help but shake his head.

This guy Di Qi is good at everything, but he is too unambitious.

Over the years, he has been recommended many times by everyone to serve as captain of the ship, but he has declined them all.

"The Neptune BBQ is here! You guys, let me enjoy it! Feel free to eat with all your bellies, and leave the cooking to me!"

Sachi, the captain of the Fourth Division wearing a chef's hat, walked over with a mountain of barbecue in his hand and a hearty smile on his face.

"Hahaha, with Captain Saatchi's cooking skills, it's hard for us to go hungry. Captain Saatchi, I want a big piece!"

"No problem, just eat it, Di Qi!"

The banquet continued. The pirates sitting on the outside saw seagulls delivering newspapers on the horizon, so they took out Bailey, bought all the newspapers on the seagulls, and brought them to Lakyo and others with a smile.

"Captain Lakyo, Captain Sachi, there are newspapers that I can read. Please tell us illiterate old men what interesting things are happening on the sea these days."

"There are so many interesting things. The red-haired one has become the Four Emperors, and the situation in the new world is also stabilizing."

Lakyo took the newspaper and said something subconsciously.

"That's not necessarily true. Aren't there a lot of new pirates this year? It is said that there is a particularly powerful one called an Avenger. The bounty on his head is terrifyingly high. I heard Marco say last time that we should pay attention to this person. If he If you enter the new world, you must seize the opportunity to recruit..."

Sachi chattered as he distributed the roasted meat.

Suddenly, he felt that the atmosphere in the venue was a little quiet.

"what happened?"

As soon as Sachi turned around, he saw the newspaper spread out in Luck's hand.

"Roger...The Roger Pirates have returned to the Shampoo Islands!"

"Pluto Rayleigh attacked the world's nobles and was offered a reward of three..."

"39 billion Baileys??"

Every pirate who saw the large and bold font on the front page of the newspaper, the Oro Jackson on the cover, and Reilly's familiar face all held their breath.

A few minutes later, inside the Sphinx Island.

"Dad! Dad! Something big! Something big has happened!"

Lakyue, who had always been mature and prudent, had shock in his eyes at this moment. Holding the newspaper, he rushed into the island and shouted from a distance to the tall man who was sitting on the grass in front of him drinking.

Hearing his urgent cry, Marco, the pineapple head who was pouring wine for Whitebeard, was a little surprised.

"Uncle Lacjo, what makes you so anxious?"

The man with a broad cloak on his shoulders, his blond hair spread out, and a crescent white beard, also looked up while holding a huge wine bowl in his hand.

"Don't be presumptuous, Lajo."

"No, dad, Marco, this is really explosive news. Look, the Roger Pirates are back in the world!"

There was sweat on Lakoyo's forehead, but there was an inexplicable look of excitement on his face.

"What did you say? Roger?"

Hearing Roger's name, Whitebeard paused, involuntarily put down the wine bowl he was holding, and took the newspaper from Lakyo's hand.

After just one glance, the corners of his mouth opened into a huge arc.

"Ku-la-la-la! Ku-la-la-la-la!"

"It's the Oro Jackson. I really miss it. I never thought I would have the opportunity to see Roger's ship in the newspaper."

"That's not the point, right? Dad!"

Marco's face was full of shock, and the hand holding the newspaper was trembling slightly.

"Could Rayleigh, who had disappeared for more than ten years and never made any splash on the sea, actually attack and kill the Celestial Dragons? Moreover, he was also offered a bounty of 39 billion beli! This bounty is also Isn’t that too exaggerated?”

"Ku la la la! Exaggerated?"

Whitebeard put down the newspaper in his hand, chuckled and shook his head.

"It's not an exaggeration at all."

"The high-ranking Celestial Dragons were attacked. Although it was not stated clearly, several people were killed. But even if only one Celestial Dragon died, it would still be a major event that could shake the world."

"only……"

Whitebeard's brows wrinkled slightly, a little confused.

Based on his understanding of Rayleigh, Pluto, who has a calmer personality than Roger, would logically never do such a dramatic thing.

Although Roger is dead.

But the successor Roger was waiting for has not yet appeared. Rayleigh and the remnants of the Roger Pirates should never have appeared in the sight of the World Government at this time.

Still in this blatantly provocative way.

"Huh? In addition to Rayleigh's bounty of 39 billion beli, there is also news about this year's Supernova Pirates in this newspaper."

"let me see……"

"The Avengers Pirates were completely wiped out. Captain Aristo was killed by Lieutenant Commander Rorschach. Vice Captain Daphne Longs died."

"The DeKalbane brothers were arrested by Lieutenant Commander Rorschach."

"The giant pirate Pamel was captured by Navy Captain Trafalgar Law."

After reading it, Marco sighed, "Dad, it seems we won't be able to add any new blood this year. The five supernova pirates were all wiped out."

"Where did this Lieutenant Colonel Rorschach of the Navy come from? A Major was able to take down four pirates with a bounty of over [-] million? Is there another monster in the Navy?"

"Monster? Ku la la la. If you want to be called a monster, you're still far from it."

Whitebeard picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, but some other thoughts emerged in his mind.

It's going to change.

Such a big incident happened in Shampoo Land, and it affected not only this year's new pirates.Although the geographical scope of the New World is broad enough, the first half of the Grand Line and the four seas are the source of most pirates.

"Marco, contact me with the red hair and ask him if he knows what that old guy Rayleigh is doing."

"I'll call him on the phone right now."

Thousands of pale lightning struck through the sky and the earth, tearing apart the dark sky and covering the entire island.

There were huge roaring waves on the sea surface, as if there was a big invisible hand stirring wantonly in the dark sea water.

This is Thunder Island in the New World, an island forever bathed in thunder and lightning.

"Really, why do you have to rest in such a ghost place? If I am accidentally hit by lightning, my life will be decided here."

On the coast, a large red dragon ship rises and falls in the waves, making people worry that it will be capsized by the rough waves at any time.

"Hahaha, Jesus Bu, we have to believe in our luck. By the way, have you found Shanks?"

Rakiru, who was as fat as a ball and was biting a chicken leg in his hand, smiled and looked towards the center of the island where thunder and lightning struck more densely.

Jesus Bu picked up the sniper rifle in his hand and took aim at the dark island.

"I saw them... They actually fought on the top of a mountain with the densest thunder and lightning. They really didn't want their lives."

Jesus put down his sniper rifle and shook his head, and saw Beckman sitting not far away, holding a newspaper in his hand.

"It's so dark. You're still in the mood to read the newspaper. Beckman, aren't you worried about the boss suffering a loss? He's missing an arm."

The cigarette butt in Beckman's mouth gave off a flickering red light in the darkness.

"There are already people fighting over Kaido. The duel with Mihawk is just a discussion between old friends. There is nothing to worry about. Compared with this, the things in this newspaper are more interesting. Shanks will definitely be very interested. interested."

"Boom!"

Lines of pale thunder and lightning, like the branches of towering ancient trees, shot out from the black clouds, completely covering the entire mountain below.

On the top of the mountain, which was flickering in light and darkness, two slender figures stood on the left and right, each holding a long knife in their hands.

"Hahaha, Mihawk, think about it if you want to come to my ship. There are banquets every day. It's very lively."

Shanks held Griffin with one hand and smiled brightly. He didn't care about the thunder falling in the sky. It seemed that only the figure standing a hundred meters away was in his eyes.

"Didn't I say that if you can defeat me, I might consider it."

Two sharp eyes like falcons lit up in the darkness. Mihawk, who was holding the Black Blade Night, one of the twelve skills of the Supreme Sharp Sword, slowly raised the weapon in his hand.

As the black knife in his hand was raised, the dark night was cut open like an invisible air blade, along with thousands of scattered thunder and lightning.

A bright sword light suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, causing a bright light wheel to appear over the island, as if it was daytime suddenly.

"Okay! This is what you said! Haha, it seems that I will have an extra partner on the ship today."

Shanks laughed boldly, took one step out of his slippers, and his figure instantly turned into a phantom, rising into the air. Black and red lightning flowed on the Griffin sword in his hand, and he suddenly burst into unparalleled domineering momentum. .

"boom!"

Black thunder, louder than the thunder in the sky, exploded over the island. Griffin slashed out, and the black-red sword light cut through the sky, cut through the thunder, and met the bright light wheel swung by Mihawk. .

"God avoid!"

"Chong!"

The sound of the clash of swords tearing apart the heaven and earth instantly resounded throughout the sea area thousands of meters in radius.

The two sharp qi energies clashed with each other, vibrating, cutting thick cracks into the iron-hard mountaintop.

The hilltops with a radius of several hundred meters disintegrated in the light of two swords, turning into pieces of fine stone, and then decomposed into even finer powders in the more surging sword energy.

Mihawk held the knife with both hands, and the aura from his body reached straight into the sky, and he slashed vertically with the knife.

"You have lost an arm, but you can still say such big words. It seems that the battle with Kaido has made you regain your confidence, Shanks."

As the sword was raised, violent cyclones gathered in mid-air, and invisible domineering energy flowed on the dark blade. The supreme swordsmanship of the world's number one swordsman was finally revealed.

"Shh!"

A thick sword energy split the sky, stretching out for an unknown distance, like a brilliant pillar of heaven rushing down, overwhelming the sky and the earth, slashing down towards Shanks.

"I have always been very confident in myself!"

Shanks seemed to have expected it, and the figure that remained in place gradually dissipated.

The next moment, a Western sword wrapped with black and red lightning struck straight at Mihawk's side.

"Kill on sight?"

Mihawk retracted his sword as fast as lightning, and the long black sword drew a strange arc, blocking the path of Griffin's attack.

"Zheng!"

The swords struck each other, endless thunder and lightning fell, and a sun suddenly rose.

A deep ravine opened in the sky.

With the two of them at the center, where they stood, the thousand-meter-high mountain peaks were neatly cracked.

"boom!"

a few hours later.

"Ah hahaha, I still haven't been able to capture you, Mihawk. Forget it, let's go and have a drink."

Shanks, whose clothes were in tatters, put his sword back into its scabbard, walked over carelessly, and put his arm around Mihawk's shoulders.

"Don't come near me, I'm covered in stinky sweat."

Mihawk tried to break away from his hand, but failed. Shanks smiled and held his arm around his shoulders, and walked towards the shore of Thunder Island.

"There's a party! Kids!"

"Boss failed again, how shameless! Hahaha, how many times has this happened?"

"Who knows, it's not the last time."

Several bonfires were lit on the shore in the darkness.

After a while, the aroma of meat and wine wafted out.

"Mr. Rayleigh attacked and killed the Celestial Dragons and was offered a reward of 39 billion Baileys by the World Government?"

Shanks held the newspaper in surprise.

Especially when he saw the Oro Jackson under Reilly, memories of the past immediately came to mind like a tide.

Mihawk was also reading the newspaper, with a very interested look on his face.

"Pluto Rayleigh is also a legendary swordsman. Does it seem like he is in the Grand Line? I just want to go back and see if I can spar with him."

"You shouldn't, you shouldn't show up so early, the Oro Jackson..."

Shanks was frowning and talking to himself.

"Shanks, what are you thinking about?" Jesus Bu couldn't help asking when he saw that he was a little absent-minded.

"fine."

Shanks shook his head, "I'm just a little worried about Mr. Rayleigh's safety."

"Do you still need to worry about his old man? The bounty of 39 billion beli is higher than yours, Shanks! He is worthy of Rayleigh, the King of Hades." Jesus Bu, Lakiru and others were somewhat disapproving.

Suddenly, Beckman took out the phone bug from his arms.

"It's from Whitebeard."

"White beard?"

Shanks was startled for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "It seems that the news in the newspaper has caused quite a shock to the world."
