Chapter 315 Red Hair Arrives
Red Hair and White Beard have been friends for many years.

Although they didn't meet often, Red Hair knew a little about Whitebeard's physical condition. When he saw him again, he looked a little surprised:
"Whitebeard, your illness..."

"Gulala la la la~Are you surprised?"

"This is all thanks to the 'Dimension Pirates'. Come, Shanks, let me introduce you to these new friends."

Whitebeard let out his signature laugh, then put his arm around Red Hair's shoulders and came in front of Uchiha Hikaru and his group, and introduced them one by one in a very solemn manner.

There is a reason for this solemnity.

If we say that at the beginning, Whitebeard looked up to Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath because their strength was no less than that of the Four Emperors, and because of Damato's identity buff as "Ace's friend".

So now, his attitude towards the "Dimension Pirates" is one of sincere admiration and gratitude -

Although "Ghost Potion 2.0" is still in the clinical trial stage.

However, Kikyo and Tamayo had already performed two surgeries on Whitebeard, removed several tumors and other lesions, and also used the "Purifying Light". After these treatments, several of Whitebeard's long-standing illnesses were alleviated to varying degrees, and his physical condition was much better than before, and even the difference in his complexion could be seen.

Theoretically, as long as this treatment is used for a few more rounds, Whitebeard's condition may not be completely cured, but at least he will live another three to five years.

This result surprised and delighted Whitebeard.

He even had the urge to adopt Kikyo and Tamayo as his daughters.

of course……

They were all rejected.

Kikyo has always been a quiet and independent person. After experiencing the dramatic changes fifty years ago and her "resurrection from the dead", she has become even more indifferent to family affection and has no idea of ​​finding another family for herself, so she tactfully rejected Whitebeard's proposal.

And Tamayo...

"I'm sorry, although it may sound a little unbelievable, I'm actually over 300 years old. I'm no longer a young person. Being your daughter... is a little inappropriate."

Tamayo said this in an apologetic tone.

"?"

Whitebeard was a little confused.

From his perspective, it was hard to imagine that Miss Tamayo, a woman who looked to be in her twenties or thirties at most, was actually several hundred years old.

——Moreover, this "hundreds of years old" does not mean lying in a coffin like Uchiha Hikaru, but she has really experienced hundreds of thousands of days and nights. If the generations are ranked by physical age, Miss Tamayo is probably more than qualified to be the grandmother of the entire Whitebeard Group, and even the "Dimension Pirate Group".

Going back to reality.

The red-haired man listened to the introduction from Whitebeard and glanced at Uchiha Hikaru and the others hesitantly, seeming a little surprised at their age and gender. Pirates of this age were rare, and apart from Boa Hancock's Nine Snakes Pirates, it was rare to see a group of so many girls on this sea. However, he still greeted them politely:

"It turns out to be Captain Bulma and Vice Captain Uchiha Hikaru... Nice to meet you."

"Are you Shanks?"

Bulma looked the red-haired guy up and down and said, "He looks quite handsome, but a little old."

"...?"

The red-haired man, who was born in Roger's era, was already 37 years old at this point in time.

Although his age is almost two and a half generations younger than the other three emperors on average, it can no longer be said to be very young.

Compared to Bulma, Uchiha Hikaru's focus is mainly on Red Hair's height.

At 1.99 meters tall, he can be considered a rare "normal person" in this ocean.

Esdeath exhaled lightly and spoke calmly: "Hey, I heard that you are the 'Emperor of the Sea' who is as famous as Kaido and Whitebeard?"

"Ok?"

The red-haired man subconsciously wanted to be modest: "It's just a false reputation that others talk about, not worth mentioning..."

"Come on, fight me."

Esdeath raised her hands, stretched her wrists and neck, her eyes showing an eagerness to fight: "I have already experienced the strength of Kaido and Whitebeard, plus you, you are the three 'emperors'. I can feel that your strength should be quite good. Come, let me see what kind of realm is the pinnacle of this sea."

"……what?"

……

If we rank the Four Emperors based on their overall strength, it is hard to say where Shanks would rank, but he would definitely not be ranked first.

but……

If the ranking criteria were changed to domineering cultivation...

Then red hair is undoubtedly the first.

Even Whitebeard at his peak in his youth would probably find it difficult to defeat him.

As Roger's adopted son and the only one among the Four Emperors who has not eaten a devil fruit, his observation Haki is almost on par with the former. He can "see" and "hear" the future for the next period of time in an instant and respond accordingly.

- For example, in the original plot, he took action before the Kidd Fruit awakened and destroyed his entire fleet with one sword.

In terms of Conqueror's Haki, Red Hair has also cultivated a powerful skill called "Divine Avoidance" that combines swordsmanship and Conqueror's Haki.

As for now...

"This is……"

Before Esdeath could start to freeze the sea, the red-haired man seemed to have foreseen something. He turned around suddenly and looked at the latter with a shocked expression: "You actually... have this ability, what is your relationship with Aokiji?"

"Hmm? Are you talking about the admiral?"

Esdeath raised an eyebrow.

She was very familiar with the name Aokiji.

I had heard about him from Yamato long before I entered the pirate world, and after I came here, I heard about him from Jack the Drought, Photo King, and the Whitebeard Pirates. For this person who is said to be very similar to me in terms of ability and fighting style...

Esdeath was curious.

"Yes."

The red-haired man looked solemn. "There are indeed devil fruits with similar abilities in the world, but fruits in the same system must follow the relationship of superiority and inferiority... But Miss Esdeath's ability looks too similar to Aokiji's. If I hadn't seen Aokiji's whereabouts not long ago, I might have thought that you took the ability of the 'Ice Fruit' from him."

"is it?"

Esdeath narrowed her eyes slightly: "Do you know where that guy named Aokiji is?"

"That's it."

"So...can you tell me where he is? I'm very curious about his existence."
