Chapter 174 Fear!
Chapter 174 Fear!
Meanwhile, in another prosperous yet fraught with danger region of the New World, the old lady sat upright in her chair.
At that moment, she stared intently at the screen on the live Den Den Mushi, her eyes filled with disbelief.
If someone were to observe closely, they would discover that deep within that unbelievable abyss lurks a barely perceptible fear.
Indeed, this middle-aged woman, who had roamed the New World for many years and struck fear into the hearts of countless people, was now genuinely feeling afraid.
It's important to know that the Red-Haired Pirates are no ordinary crew. In addition to the powerful Shanks and the brilliant Beckman, they also have the legendary Rayleigh and the legendary Hawkeye, known as the "world's greatest swordsman."
However, the scene now shows Beckman lying down, and the others struggling on the brink of life and death, as if they will follow in Beckman's footsteps at any moment.
Every time she thought of this, the woman's body trembled slightly, and the fear on her face became more and more obvious.
Suddenly, she turned her fierce gaze to her children standing below, her eyes flashing with malice, and then roared, "Call Katakuri right now and tell him to come back right now!"
"Stop meddling in Minos's and the others' battle." Her voice echoed in the palace, carrying an undeniable authority.
"Did you hear that!" the woman roared again, her voice revealing a hint of anxiety and panic.
The children below trembled at the sight of their mother's fierce appearance. They quickly regained their senses and replied, "We understand. We'll call Katakuri right away."
For a moment, a panicked, solemn, and fearful atmosphere filled the Big Mom Pirates.
Every member felt the gravity of the situation, as if a massive storm was about to sweep in, and they were powerless to resist it.
……
At the remote headquarters of the revolutionary army, there was a mysterious base filled with hope and ideals.
Dragon, the leader of the revolutionary army, sat heavily in his chair at that moment.
His face was grave, and his shock was clearly visible. Large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead and slid down his cheeks.
The harrowing battle that took place on the Serbian islands was like a nightmare that reverberated through his mind.
The changes in this great battle were far beyond his imagination and completely exceeded his expectations.
From the moment two powerful figures with the strength of generals suddenly appeared in the battle, the entire situation changed dramatically.
The dragon remained silent for a long time, as if time had frozen at that moment.
Finally, he slowly raised his head, his gaze deep and complex, and said in a low voice, "Minos, you are too terrifying."
Although the dragon's voice was not loud, it sounded particularly heavy in the quiet room, as if it carried countless thoughts.
At this moment, the headquarters of the revolutionary army was also shrouded in a complex emotion.
Some members were shocked, some were worried, and some fell into deep thought.
Everyone knows that this world, perhaps because of the appearance of Minos and others, is about to undergo an unprecedented transformation.
……
Meanwhile, in every corner of the world, there is varying degrees of noise.
The crowd stared intently at the live Den Den Mushi. The terrifying power and trump cards displayed by Minos on screen were like a bombshell, creating a huge uproar in everyone's hearts, leaving them utterly shocked and even filled with fear.
Who could believe that the renowned Red-Haired Pirates were almost wiped out! They were a force to be reckoned with on the high seas.
Even more unbelievable is that even powerful figures like Rayleigh and Hawkeye could not escape the fate of death.
Such a shocking scene was beyond everyone's imagination.
While people around the world were amazed, their hearts were filled with deep fear.
In their eyes, Minos had become a huge threat, like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.
They eagerly hoped that a strong person would step forward and eliminate this terrible "demon," restoring peace to the sea.
……
Meanwhile, in the tranquil windmill town of the distant East China Sea, a group of villagers have gathered in an unassuming teahouse, their eyes glued to the live stream broadcast on their Den Den Mushi (snail phone).
At this moment, the villagers of Windmill Town looked extremely grim, and everyone felt incredibly heavy-hearted.
After all, Shanks and his crew had lived in Windmill Village for a while and got along well with the villagers, treating them quite well.
Now, watching helplessly as Shanks and the others are about to die, the villagers are filled with mixed feelings, a complex mix of emotions and sadness.
Among the crowd, one unique boy stood out. He wore a signature straw hat, shorts, and casually flip-flops.
He was none other than Luffy, the future chosen one. However, at this moment, the silly, bright smile that used to grace Luffy's face was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, his face was filled with sadness, fear, and confusion. A variety of complex emotions surged through him like waves.
At this moment, Luffy appeared utterly helpless. He never imagined that Shanks, whom he had always admired, would die like this!
They had made a promise: Luffy would wait until he became strong enough, and Shanks promised to meet him again.
Those beautiful promises still seem to echo in my ears, but reality is so cruel. How could Shanks be coming to the end of his life?
At that moment, Luffy seemed to have suddenly grown up. For the first time, he realized that the world of pirates was far from as beautiful and romantic as he had imagined.
The dying Shanks in Den Den Mushi is undoubtedly the most vivid and tragic example.
After a long period of sadness and silence, Luffy's gaze gradually hardened. He stared intently at Minos's image on the live Den Den Mushi screen, as if trying to etch every detail of this enemy into his heart.
He secretly vowed that when he set sail in the future, he would definitely seek justice from Minos and avenge the Red-Haired Pirates and Shanks!
However, no one noticed, not even Luffy himself, that his eyes were undergoing a subtle change.
Those once innocent eyes were gradually shrouded in a layer of coldness and cruelty.
Moreover, and more importantly, a faint white light flashed deep within his eyes.
The light flashed by like a shooting star, moving at an extremely fast speed, and was almost imperceptible without careful observation.
……
The scene shifts to the New World, to the spacious and brightly lit room at the News Agency headquarters. Morgans sits leisurely in a chair, watching the live broadcast from his Den Den Mushi, then suddenly throws his head back and bursts into maniacal laughter: "Minos, as expected of you! Your actions are practically an attempt to rule over everything in this vast ocean!"
After the laughter subsided, his eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation as he murmured to himself, "Then let the madness of the sea rage even more fiercely!"
……
P.S.: So tired. (◣_◢)
