Chapter 604 Don't Be Stupid
Oboro used a blitzkrieg to kill all the Red Hair Pirates in one minute.
And it didn't even take him one minute to beat Red Hair to the point where he lost his ability to resist.
Without weapons and an arm, Shanks was completely beaten by Oboro in a pure physical battle.
He beat the Four Emperors like a sandbag.
The members of the Hell Pirates on the shore all had different expressions.
Barrett and Waldo laughed mockingly.
Enelu looked bored.
Dom and Yurivich seemed very calm. Even though their opponents were the Four Emperors, this scene was quite reasonable in their eyes because of their admiration and worship for Oboro.
The only one who looked moved was a 'little character' like Dolans. Although Lucci was not calm, he was able to control his expression... You know, the person being beaten was a real Four Emperors.
As for Rayleigh, he had closed his eyes and couldn't bear to watch any more.
The sky was already filled with the gloom of the night...
On the sea, there were constant explosions and roars in the air. A certain object was just like Garp a few days ago, being hit back and forth like a ball, and even fell into the sea, causing huge waves. But Shanks' situation was undoubtedly more tragic than Garp's.
Even if it sank into the sea, a huge hole would appear on the sea surface as if it had been hit by a meteorite...Oboro's figure would then pierce the sea surface, hitting the "toy" that had fallen to the bottom of the sea back into the sky, breaking through the water.
Just like this...after a few rounds.
When Oboro appeared again, he was already standing in front of the crew, standing on the beach.
And what he was holding in one hand was the red-haired Four Emperors, Shanks, who was completely unrecognizable and bleeding.
"Shanks..."
Seeing Shanks' appearance, even Rayleigh couldn't help but shed tears in the corners of his eyes.
In a trance, he seemed to see the lively little boy on the ship... and the treasure chest that he and Roger and others picked up at that time, and the baby lying inside after opening it.
Shanks is not dead.
He is still conscious, but his injuries are particularly serious.
This is also the result of Oboro's deliberate restraint.
"This is..."
Shanks just looked at Rayleigh, and the next second, his mind went blank.
Because he saw the row of crosses on the shore.
Hanging on them... are corpses.
Among them are figures that he is very familiar with.
These corpses have been rotten after being exposed to the sun, and the stench is overwhelming.
Navy hero Garp, Straw Hat Boy Luffy, Shichibukai Queen Boa Hancock, and the Amazon Lily Warriors and the two army commanders of the Revolutionary Army.
"Luffy..."
Shanks spoke in grief.
Really dead...
He also saw the straw hat that he personally handed to Luffy, which was also hanging above the cross where Luffy was nailed.
In addition to these corpses, there are many empty crosses on the shore.
Red Hair knows without thinking that one of them belongs to ‘him’.
“Oboro, let him go… Considering that I helped you in the past, I promise you that not only him, but also I… from now on, I will not cause you any trouble. We will find a very remote place to spend the rest of our lives.” Rayleigh looked at Oboro, took a deep breath, and said sincerely.
He was serious.
“If it doesn’t work, use my life in exchange… His pirate group has been destroyed, and he is the only one left…”
Rayleigh wanted to say something else, but Oboro suddenly interrupted, “Rayleigh… You should know that he is a Celestial Dragon.”
“…”
“If he doesn’t oppose me, I don’t have any thoughts about him.”
Oboro let go of his hand, and Shanks, who was beaten to pieces, fell to the ground and couldn’t move.
"Even if the war on the top happened, I can regard it as his momentary confusion... I will let bygones be bygones. Because my target from the beginning to the end was Marijoa, the Celestial Dragons... But afterwards, Shanks, together with the Five Elders, Kaido and Big Mom, continued to target me. This clearly shows that they want to be my enemy, and I never show mercy to my enemies." Oboro laughed softly, and when he saw Rayleigh was about to say something, his eyes fixed, "Don't be naive, we are all pirates."
"This is a sea world where it's either you die or I die... With his personality, even if you let him go, your promise can only bind you, not him..."
"He is the same as Roger. Once he decides on something, he will do it to the end. I have no doubt about that."
"Because... I am the same."
Oboro's words made Rayleigh speechless.
"As for your kindness, I have repaid you more than once, including not killing you this time..." Long smiled, "When we were in Shabaodi, you knew that Luffy had great potential, so you stood up for him and blocked my killing intent at that time... In fact, what you want, what you hope for... is to give Luffy enough time to grow up, so that he can stop me or even kill me one day in the future? Right? Because you have already noticed the hidden dangers I may bring..."
"..."
Rayleigh stopped talking.
"You or him... are the same kind of people." Long glanced at Shanks and said to Rayleigh.
"No one is right or wrong, just different positions... Generally speaking, I won't say so much, but based on the earliest communication in Shabaodi, this is... the last respect I leave for you."
"Hehe..."
"Hahahahaha."
Suddenly, Shanks, who was lying on the ground, laughed.
He seemed very happy, knowing that he was going to die.
Bang.
The laughter just started, and then it stopped.
Because a foot stepped hard on his head.
It was Dom.
"Shut up."
Dom scolded coldly.
"It's okay, don't worry about me."
Shanks half of his face was stuck to the mud and sand, and he said weakly, "I just feel a little sorry that I can't follow the captain's footsteps..."
He said this to Rayleigh.
The captain he was talking about was undoubtedly Roger.
He stopped talking halfway.
"You can't win."
Then, the red-haired man changed the subject and stared at Long.
"In addition to the World Government, you have also offended the Revolutionary Army... First Big Mom, then me... Who is next? Kaido? After I die, he will definitely react and prepare... Moreover, you can't hide what happened in Ruskena. Soon, the whole world will know your "evil deeds"... Everyone will be afraid of you, and you will be the enemy of the whole world. Including those supernovas who awakened themselves because of Luffy's death... Everything you did is just to further intensify the contradictions and sense of separation between the Hell Pirates and the whole world. All forces will make it their biggest goal to get rid of you, the scourge first."
"I failed... It doesn't mean that no one will defeat you in the future."
Shanks said firmly.
Oboro also smiled suddenly.
"You are right... But have you ever thought that what you are referring to... is exactly what I want?"
"..."
Shanks, who was originally a little proud, was stunned.
"The Celestial Dragons are just individuals. Overthrowing the world is our goal."
"I just said that the Celestial Dragons are trash that I want to kill, but I never said that after killing them, the mission of the Hell Pirates will be over..."
The smile of the long smile was a little weird.
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
Around, Barrett, Shiryu and others also laughed.
The faces and eyes looked at the Four Emperors with extreme ridicule.
Thinking of Shanks' stupidity.
The red-haired eyes changed.
"Come on, the Four Emperors full of justice, Red-haired Shanks... choose a position you like."
Dom bent down, grabbed Shanks' hair, raised his head, aimed at the empty spaces of the crosses, and sneered in a cold tone.
