From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 147 Shanks's Fear
In the East China Sea, a single-masted pirate ship is sailing with a fluttering pirate flag. Two Western swords are behind a skull with three scratches on its left eye.

"Very strong, Beckman."

The pirate ship was approaching Windmill Village, but Shanks' eyes were looking at the clouds on the sea level in the distance.

Jesus Bu, who had just joined, also looked over and asked in confusion: "Captain, what do you mean... was it done by a human?"

Beckman patted Jesus' shoulder and said, "This sea is very big, so if you stay in the East China Sea, you won't be able to see these."

Jesus Bu snorted and replied, "Wasn't such a strong guy also appear in the East China Sea? But it's really exciting that the power of one person can actually change the celestial phenomena."

Shanks looked at the sailor at the helm, and Beckman knew what his captain meant before he even opened his mouth.

"We still have children on board, Shanks. The original plan was to go to the Windmill Village on Dawn Island."

"Ah la la..."

Shanks waved his hand casually, "It won't be a problem if we go and have a look first. There may not be a fight anyway. Maybe we can even have a party."

Beckman rubbed his forehead and said, "If Garp had that kind of power, we would be in trouble."

"Not Mr. Karp."

Shanks restrained his smile and said, "From the Red Earth Continent, you need to pass through Dawn Island to get to that island. If Mr. Garp goes back to his hometown, he will go back directly."

"And I can sense that there is no collision of auras. It should be just one person. Such a strong existence has appeared in this sea area. If I don't figure it out, I will be very worried, Beckman."

Nearly eight years ago, the World Government's actions in the South China Sea were leaked. The source of the intelligence was that the Navy's alternate admiral was dissatisfied with the World Government's actions towards his hometown, and secretly leaked the action intelligence in advance, which saved a large number of pregnant women in the South China Sea.

Shanks later learned that Vice Admiral Garp, who was hailed as a naval hero during that time, was on vacation and returned to his hometown in the East China Sea.

So... I have to go and take a look to feel at ease.

"Turn! Target: the island in the northeast!"

The order from the captain was given and Beckman could only support it.

The newcomer Jesus Bu at the side was a little flustered at this moment: "Are we really going? If that terrifying momentum just now was from the navy, wouldn't we be walking into a trap?"

At this time, a four-year-old girl ran out of the cabin.

"Is the newcomer afraid? If so, Uta can sing a song for you, and then the newcomer will have the courage."

→_→

Jesus was speechless.

The companions on the entire ship did not hesitate to laugh, and some even made faces at Jesus.

"Hahaha! The genius sniper from the East China Sea would actually be scared?"

"We are the Red Hair Pirates!"

"Come on, new sniper, my chest is still reliable...hahaha!"

……

Jesus blushed and said, "Laky, your chest is too greasy!"

While the fight was going on, the pirate ship that was already approaching Dawn Island turned and headed towards Shimotsuki Village.

Shanks looked at his noisy companions with a smile, but in his mind he was already wondering who the guy with the strong burst of domineering aura was.

The East China Sea is known as the weakest sea among the pirates of the Grand Line because Mr. Garp often returns there.

Even the West Sea, which was swept several times because of the Executioner Kevin a few years ago, has now recovered.

"What are you worried about?"

Shanks looked at Beckman: "The weight of this world has changed."

……

At the same time, Kevin from Shimotsuki Village also returned to the dojo with two little ghosts.

Koshiro was reading today's newspaper. When he heard the noise, he looked up at the three people.

"Did you gain anything today, sir?"

Kevin sat cross-legged across from him and said, "Didn't you plan all this?"

Koshiro replied, "Sir, you like Kuina too, don't you? Now we have to add Zoro to the mix."

As he spoke, Koshiro looked at the two children, and his eyes, which had been narrowed for years, opened slightly.

He smiled after three seconds.

My mood has changed. It's only been a few days. Kuina no longer avoids my gaze.

"Kuina, take Zoro to apply some medicine on his wounds. After eating and resting for a while... continue training."

The two men bowed slightly and agreed, and Zoro continued to glare at Kevin the whole time.

Even though he had just heard the teacher say that the teacher liked him, he snorted disdainfully.

Does this weird uncle like to trip me up and beat me up in different ways every day? If so, I will still like him when I become a great swordsman! Beat him up three times a day, and each time is different!

Zoro left with an unconvinced look on his face. The green algae-haired boy still looked back frequently and glared at the gentleman viciously.

"Snapped."

Kuina slapped Zoro on the head: "Don't be ungrateful, okay?"

Zoro turned his head and looked at Kuina with swollen eyes: "That bastard uncle doesn't like me. When I become powerful, I will seek revenge on him first!"

Kuina sighed: "I will be the same as you starting tomorrow. You know? In order to be like you, I need to work twice as hard."

Zoro said disdainfully: "Didn't the bastard uncle say that? There are so many powerful women in this world, there is nothing to worry about."

The two walked through the corridor of the dojo, and Kuina climbed up the stairs to find medicine for Zoro's wounds.

"But sir didn't mention that those powerful women all have innate talents, Zoro. I envy you, I really do."

After taking off the wound medicine, Zoro, with a bruised face, raised his fist and waved at Kuina: "So the bastard uncle also said that in this world, what can really make people stronger is willpower!"

"I have lost to you nine times. If you continue to be such a troublesome woman, it won't be long before you will be defeated by me!"

“When the time comes… hehe!”

Zoro, grinning, pulled the wound, and Kuina slapped him again: "What do you want to do?"

Zoro said confidently: "I will beat you up! I will definitely beat you up and make you black and blue, so that you will know how powerful I, Lord Zoro, am!"

After applying the medicine on the wound, the cool feeling made Zoro feel much more comfortable.

"I don't know where that bastard uncle got that light ball from, but when he pressed it on my head, my injuries healed and I can still fight again."

Kuina sighed: "Do you know what that ball of light means to us?"

"What? Isn't it just about recovering from injuries?" Zoro disagreed.

Kuina looked at her hands.

It had only been a few days, but she could clearly feel the improvement in her basic strength.

It wasn't obvious on the first day. She thought it might be due to the double intensity training and the huge fish her husband brought back from the sea.

But even though the meat of the king of the near sea was a nutritional supplement, and the other children in the dojo also ate it, it was far inferior to what she and Zoro had.

So what really gave her confidence was the help from her husband.

……

"Dong dong dong..."

There was the sound of hurried running outside the door.

Kevin and Koshiro, who were about to have some tea and return to the G5 branch, stared at each other in amazement, and then looked over when they heard the voice.

The person who pushed the door open was also a student of the dojo.

"Hoohoo... Teacher, there's... there's a pirate!"

Koshiro was not at all panicked: "So you were defeated?"

The student calmed down and said, "They are very strong. We let them leave, but it was just one person who defeated us all."

He didn't kill anyone, but he wasn't willing to leave.

It’s not that Shimotsuki Village was not visited by pirates in the past, but because of the reputation of the Shimotsuki Dojo, there are still very few pirates who dare to openly land at the port.

And most of them will be defeated by the students of the dojo.

Over the years, Koshiro rarely went there to do the fighting himself. However, Kevin, who often came here to practice swordsmanship in the morning, would occasionally kill them all.

"Then let's go."

Having said that, Koshiro stood up.

Kevin on the side said, "They are already here, and they are really strong."

The two of them walked out together, and outside the dojo, the red-haired man was looking at the Shimotsuki Dojo with the crew.

"Boss, it seems like he used a knife."

"It looks like the Captain is ready for a competition."

"But is the owner of this dojo so powerful?"

"Jesus, you know what?"

After being teased on the boat, Jesus, who got off the boat with him, nodded and said, "At first the captain just pointed in a direction so I didn't expect it, but this dojo is very famous in the East China Sea, and many pirates will not consider this island as a target for looting."

"But... the momentum that broke through the clouds just now, I really didn't expect it to be here."

The red-haired man still had a smile on his face. He walked up to the students who had just been beaten and said, "Can you help inform the owner of the dojo that there are guests visiting?"

However, the red-haired man's inquiry received no response.

"You bastard pirates, you'll be dead when the teacher comes!"

"I advise you not to take this island. It's not too late to leave now!"

"Damn pirates, we actually need the teacher to take action."

"Get off this island pirates, this is not a place for you to plunder!"

……

Shanks scratched his head and was about to knock on the door in desperation, but the door of the dojo was opened directly.

"Uh...hello?"

Kevin looked at Shanks who was greeting him. Compared to the year when Roger was executed, he had indeed matured a lot. At least he had started to grow a beard.

"Pirates are not welcome on this island. So... are you okay?"

Shanks smiled smugly, "Except for Whiskey Peak on Cactus Island, there probably isn't any place that welcomes pirates. But I have a reason to come here."

"No need to be so probing."

Kevin replied directly: "I am indeed from another sea area, and I came here just to meet an old friend, the owner of this dojo."

As Kevin said this, he let Koshiro step forward from behind him.

So, a squinting monster with squinting eyes and smiling faced a red-haired monster with a smug smile.

"Ah, it seems I misunderstood." Shanks scratched his hair and laughed, then took two steps back and apologized with his head down: "I'm very sorry, we came here to find out about the big pirates in the East China Sea because we are worried about them. My name is Shanks, the captain of the Red Hair Pirates."

As he spoke, Shanks looked at Kevin, obviously waiting for Kevin to tell his name.

However, the appearance that was changed by the transformation technique was just for the purpose of practicing swordsmanship every day without wearing a mask.

Everyone called themselves just Mr. and no one even thought of a name for their pseudonym.

So... take it now?
But I really have trouble naming myself.

However, as soon as he hesitated, Kevin saw the distrust in Shanks' eyes, who was still smiling.

"My name is Koshiro, and I'm the teacher of this Shimotsuki Dojo."

The other party didn't care about what Koshiro said and continued to look at Kevin.

next moment……

"Om..."

The buzzing sound swept across the entrance of the dojo like a sweep, and for a moment, a wave of air surged out with Kevin and Shanks as the center.

"boom."

A student from the dojo couldn't bear it and fainted on the ground, followed by one after another.

"Boom."

Kuina and Zoro, who had just heard the noise and rushed over, sat down on the ground.

"What...what's going on?"

Zoro raised his hand to block something, but his heart was beating so hard that he almost fainted.

Kuina at the side was also panting, with one hand on her chest: "No... I don't know. But this kind of momentum is like facing an extremely terrifying monster."

"Qiang."

The famous sword Griffin was slightly unsheathed, and in an instant Shanks's domineering aura became even more fierce.

The smile on his face gradually faded, but he found that the guy opposite him still looked relaxed.

"Snapped."

Zoro slapped his forehead and leaned back, fainting with ease and joy.

Kuina glanced at him and finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

At this time, Beckman behind the red-haired man said, "Newcomer, stay away if you don't want to faint."

Jesus Bu quickly withdrew, but the sniper rifle in his hand was still aimed at Koshiro who was beside Kevin.

You cannot interfere in the captain's duel, but you also cannot let the captain's battle be disturbed by the opponent. This is the responsibility of a sniper.

Soon, the point centered on the two people was cleared, and the only ones left were Koshiro and Beckman and Lakilu on the red-haired side.

"boom!"

The domineering auras of the kings collided, and red thunder flashed in the air.

Shanks exploded and found that the opponent still seemed to be not using his full strength.

How is it possible that such a guy is unknown? !
"We all use knives, how about a competition?"

Kevin felt that this was a bit troublesome, so after thinking for a while he said directly: "After forming his own pirate group, he made rapid progress."

Shanks raised his lips and said, "You are someone I know. But why do I have no impression of you?"

At this time, a black mark moved across the ground.

But when he approached Shanks, his Observation Haki suddenly noticed it and he drew away to the right.

"The observation color is good."

Kevin's voice came from behind Shanks, with the shallow attack in his hand ready to go.

The spatial coordinates did not fall, but Kevin launched Flying Thunder God the moment the other party noticed it.

A strong sense of fatality came over him, and Shanks felt all the hair on his body stand up. That was the visual warning of his Observation Haki.

retreat!

After a sudden retreat, Shanks instantly pulled out his Griffin to protect himself.

Two seconds later, the domineering aura between the two dissipated.

Shanks' breathing was a little disordered.

At that moment, he really felt that he would be cut in half. This fatal feeling made him understand the gap between them.

But it was also obvious that the other party had no real intention to kill him even though he knew his past.

and many more!

The ability to suddenly disappear and reappear just now is definitely not a manifestation of speed!

That's teleportation!

In an instant, Shanks knew Kevin's identity.

Yes, only the high-ranking cloaked man in the Revolutionary Army who can change his appearance can be so unknown and yet so terrifyingly powerful.

Unlike other pirates, Shanks's information channel is not just Newsbird's newspaper.

Three celestial dragons were killed in the Sabaody Archipelago, and the last time he killed one of CP's top fighters, and made the navy's candidate admiral, the user of the Pika Pika Nomi, dare not land.

According to the intelligence, the two had a grudge against each other due to their backgrounds.

I just don’t know if the other party understands it.

The thoughts in his mind flashed by, Shanks sheathed his sword, smiled and said calmly: "I lost."

Kevin didn't say anything, still looking at him.

At this time, all the students in the dojo had been cleared out and moved to the beds by Koshiro. Except for one or two newcomers who had fainted, the Red Hair Pirates were surrounded by Beckman and others.

This time they did not tease their captain, but looked at Kevin with extreme caution.

Jesus Bu found a shooting point not far away and swallowed.

What was that just now?
How can there be someone with such speed?

Even though he didn't see it clearly, it was behind the captain in an instant.

When the master of the dojo was moving the students, his attention was completely focused on that guy. How did he do that?
Unlike Jesus Bu who had just joined, Beckman walked to Shanks' side and looked at Kevin carefully. From the demonstration of his ability just now, he also guessed Kevin's identity as the cloaked man.

"I'm wondering...whether I should leave all of you here."

As soon as Kevin's words came out, the atmosphere at the entrance of the dojo froze instantly.

Only Shanks said awkwardly: "Your Excellency did not intend to kill just now, right? And my crew members are not the kind of people who talk nonsense."

Beckman said in a deep voice: "The fundamental reason why we came to this island is that we also don't want any major incidents to happen in the East China Sea."

"call……"

Kevin exhaled.

It is obvious that Shanks is a smart man, and his deputy captain Beckman is also a smart man.

They both understood what they meant.

Shimotsuki Village is the location of Koshiro's dojo. It has been many years since Koshiro left Wano Country and settled here. There is no reason for him to move away for his own reasons.

If the World Government knew about his relationship with Shimotsuki Dojo, this would be a perfect place for a trap.

In order to wipe themselves out, those five old immortals that Mary Joa scolded last year might really attack here directly.

After thinking for a moment, Kevin looked at Shanks and said, "If this place is discovered, you will be my first suspect."

Shanks raised his hands and smiled, "No, no. We are pirates, there is no way we will get involved with the World Government, right?"

Kevin met his smiling face and also showed an exaggerated smile: "That's hard to say, Shanks. We should be the same age."

(○Д○)

Just this one sentence made Shanks confused.

He knows, he really knows!
How can it be? !
Even though he only knew about what happened in the Valley of the Gods because Captain Roger told him, he was just a baby at that time, so how could he have any memory?

Shanks was stunned for only a moment, then he scratched his head: "Although I know a little about you from the bounty notice, I didn't know we were the same age. For this, how about we have a party?"

He laughed it off and tried to get away with it.

Seeing that the tense atmosphere had disappeared, the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates also started to make a fuss.

Seeing the scene become joyful, Jesus Bu also ran back.

He touched Lakilu and said, "What's going on? No fight, no acquaintance?"

Lakilu took a bite of the bone in his hand and whispered, "This is the first time that the boss has given in. But it's not too embarrassing to face this guy."

Jesus Bu was puzzled. "Who is this person? I didn't even notice the speed just now."

Lakilu, who was gnawing on the meat, was very good at observing the situation. He raised the bone and meat in his hand and joined in the fun of having a feast.

As for Jesus Bu's doubts, we will not mention anything that can be guessed here. This is what the boss just promised.

And with the current strength of the pirate group, it is still too early to go head-on with a guy with such a record.

In addition, the guy opposite is not alone, and the power behind him is not just the strength of a simple pirate group.

"Party! Party..."

At this time, Koshiro, who had just settled all the students, came out and asked Kevin with narrowed eyes, "Are you friends now? I thought you had already solved it."

Kevin turned his head and looked at him: "The other side has more people. If a fight breaks out and I get my people here, I guess you won't be able to run this dojo anymore."

Koshiro shook his head slightly: "It's true that the business can't continue, but you don't need to call for help. You've changed so much since more than a year ago."

"With such terrifying basic strength, even a simple swing of the sword can form a slashing attack. I don't even think you are a human being."

→_→

Kevin looked unhappy: "If you don't know how to talk, then say less. How come envy becomes an insult when it comes to your mouth? Do you believe that I can trick your daughter into joining the Revolutionary Army, and I will leave this dojo to you for your retirement."

This made Koshiro decide to shut up.

The conversation between the two made Shanks feel relieved, and then the members of the Red Hair Pirates went to the town to buy wine and meat.

Koshiro was quite straightforward and gave seven or eight barrels of wine, but he declined Shanks' invitation.

Shimotsuki Village is just an ordinary village and cannot be associated with pirates, but it can be secretly associated with the Revolutionary Army.

……

[Note: Jesus Bu joined when Usopp was two years old, and Usopp is the same age as Luffy. In addition, Uta is two years older than Luffy, and was a baby when the treasure chest was discovered by Shanks. There are also Lagiru and Beckman in the picture, and a wavy figure with a back is suspected to be Jesus Bu, but the time of joining does not match. ]

[There are also claims that Jesus joined a few years after Roger was executed, but this does not match Usopp's timeline.]

[This last point is not the time when Shanks stayed in Windmill Village, but considering the time when Jesus joined, the Red Hair Pirates were in the East China Sea at this point, so it is likely that he came to take a look. ]

[Also, Red Hair became one of the Four Emperors six years before the original time point, which is still a long time ago. Conqueror Haki is a natural talent, but if they fight, he should not be as good as Kaido at this moment. ]
