Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 274

Shanks' expression turned slightly serious: "Two things."

"The first thing is that I once sensed a very deep and terrifying aura in Mary Geoise, which was even more powerful than the Five Elders."

Ron's expression hardened slightly.

Im...

"The second thing."

Shanks stared intently at Ron and said, "I want to remind you that the Celestial Dragons may very well possess Uranus, one of the three Ancient Weapons. If you really want to start this war, you'd better have the power to contend with it."

"You mean... you want me to extract Hades?"

"Pluto might not be able to contend with Uranus. It would be best to master Poseidon's power. You should have already been to Fishman Island, right?"

Ron's eyes flickered slightly: "What are you trying to say?"

Shanks stared intently at Ron and said, "I hope you can postpone this war for a few more years, until that mermaid princess awakens her power and the person who bears the fate of the D clan grows up. Only then will the time truly be ripe."

"Perhaps you are right."

Ron downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, then stood up and said to Shanks:

"But I'm sorry, I don't have your patience. If you think the chances of winning this war are slim, you don't have to participate."

After saying that, he turned and left.

They hadn't walked more than a few steps.

A powerful aura of domineering power suddenly erupted from behind him, causing the heavens and earth to change color!

Ron glanced at her sideways.

Shanks, having lost an arm, finished his drink in one gulp, stood up, and used his remaining arm to draw the longsword 'Griffin,' which he had obtained from Roger. With a domineering look in his eyes, he pointed the sword at Ron and said, "Fight me, Ron the Traveler. Let me see your strength with my own eyes. If even I can't win, then while there's still time, give up on starting this war now."

Ron glanced at him sideways, reached into the ripple-like void in front of him, grasped the hilt of a crystal-clear blood-red blade, and slowly drew it out.

"What if I win?"

Red-Haired Shanks, sword in hand, red hair flowing, black clothes billowing, stared intently at him with a domineering and sharp gaze: "The Red-Haired Pirates are joining the battle, how about it?"

Ron, dressed in beach shorts, a floral shirt, and flip-flops, grinned when he heard this.

Blood Blade Moon was completely drawn out of the void.

The two of them stepped on the ground at the same time.

The massive reef shattered instantly.

The blood-red blade and longsword, imbued with sword pressure and domineering aura, slashed at each other in mid-air. The blades were still two feet apart when they collided, but the powerful domineering aura that the two sides had gathered to the extreme had already collided first!

The entire coastline of the small island was instantly shattered!

The once calm sea suddenly exploded!

The towering waves surged outwards, causing the Red-Haired Pirates' ship to rock violently.

The two's ultimate Conqueror's Haki clashed violently, intertwining and twisting, with golden and blood-red lightning flashing and spreading continuously.

Waves of domineering energy rippled outwards.

The sky and earth turned black one moment and red the next.

Huge cracks spread outwards in all directions from beneath the two of them.

Ron and the redhead stared intently at each other, their eyes gleaming red.

The power contained in their sword strikes grew stronger and stronger.

The two sword pressures and domineering auras, compressed to their extremes, gradually formed a color-changing, distorted sphere between the blades of the two men, which were two feet apart. It grew larger and smaller, its color constantly changing, and the internal space was twisting, from which streaks of blood-red lightning and pitch-black cracks emanated.

Finally, the sphere expanded to a diameter of 100 meters in an instant, and then exploded with a bang!

The shockwave swept across the entire island in an instant.

Endless sword winds tore through the sky, and hurricanes swept up tens of thousands of boulders and trees, howling as they soared into the heavens!

Ron and Shanks swung their swords at each other again.

Clang!

It was accompanied by a crisp sound of blades clashing.

The black and red sword light illuminated the heavens and the earth.

The terrifying sword energy tore the small, uninhabited island apart.

238, forces mobilized, stirring up the vast ocean.

time flies.

In a blink of an eye.

There are only five days left until the agreed meeting date in Punk Hazard.

Sooner or later, various forces began to make their moves.

……

New world, Dressrosa.

Led by Zephyr, Ain, Binz, and other new naval members, Zephyr sailed across the calm sea aboard five new warships built and supported by Dressrosa, heading towards the waters where Punk Hazard was located.

……

On the other side, Kaido of the Beasts, along with Jack, Queen, Yamato, the Flying Six, Gifters, Shinju, and other top Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, led the Beasts Pirates in a grand procession of over fifty large ships equipped with cannons, setting sail from Wano Country.

Wherever the Beasts Pirates' massive fleet passed.

Whether ordinary people, powerful pirates in the New World, or major forces in the underworld, everyone was terrified.

"The Beasts Pirates are really serious now."

"Gulu."

Someone swallowed.

"World war is really about to begin..."

……

Law has led the Heart Pirates to the Sabaody Archipelago and joined up with the Straw Hat crew.

…………

Empress Hancock, leading a thousand Amazon Lily warriors proficient in both types of Haki, crossed the Calm Belt aboard the Kuja Pirates' large ship and headed towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

……

Dragon led the Revolutionary Army from the four seas into the first half of the Grand Line. The fleet was vast and mighty. The members of the Revolutionary Army, wearing black cloaks, stood on the large ships, holding guns and swords, with solemn and firm expressions that inspired awe.

When the fleet passed through the waters near Water Seven.

The residents of Water Seven watched the massive, dark fleet sailing away into the distance, and they all discussed it amongst themselves, their expressions filled with unease and anxiety about the future.

The revolutionary army's fleet was passing through the densely fogged Devil's Triangle.

Dorrag used his power, and the howling wind dispersed the thick fog covering the sea, creating a clear sea route.

The thick fog was blown away, startling the ghost ship that had been hiding in it.

"So many big ships!"

Perona placed a hand on her forehead, staring in astonishment at the dark mass of ships in the distance: "Lord Moria, what are those...?!"

Moriah saw the approaching fleet and felt a chill run down his spine, cold sweat pouring down his face: "Revolutionary Army!"

"Revolutionary Army?!"

Perona's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Does that revolutionary army really have so many troops?"

"Anyway, get out of there as soon as possible."

Feeling uneasy, Moria quickly ordered his men to steer the giant ship into the thick fog, trying to avoid the fleet.

Standing on the fleet's flagship, Sabo gazed at the colossal ship, which resembled a small island. Remembering something Luffy had told him, he adjusted his hat, looked down, and chuckled.

"Moria..."

"I'll be back as soon as I go."

After saying something to Dragon beside him, Sabo's figure transformed into countless photons and disappeared from the spot.

"Ah, Sabo has acted on his own again..."

Clara, hands on her hips, watched the golden flash hurtling toward the ghost island at incredible speed and pouted, saying, "He's really getting more and more willful since he ate the Glint Fruit."

Klar looked at Dragon beside him and said, "Commander, you should talk to him more often."

Dorag nodded, gazing at the sea ahead.

"I see."

Just as Moria was about to breathe a sigh of relief after Ghost Island evaded the fleet's advance and re-entered the fog to hide,
