Chapter 67
"Okay, wait a moment, sit down here."
Maybe he was worried that Noah would be scared away by Shanks, so he said this specifically.
"Mr. Shanks is a good man. Guests, you don't have to worry. And you are so lucky, there is one last bottle of wine left here."
Then he turned back to the bar to get a drink.
Only then did Shanks raise his head and glance at the visitor, huh? It looks a bit familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere. But why was he looking at that kid with strange eyes?
Noah was really observing the kid at this time. With broken black hair, scars under his eyes, and an inexplicably naive kid, this is Luffy.
It seems that this is the time period when the fruit has not been eaten yet. Interesting, if Luffy didn't eat the fruit in the end, would the One Piece world end directly? Or will the red hair find the next D's will and pass on freedom?
"Hey, Beckman, this guy looks familiar. Have we seen him somewhere?"
The red-haired man looked more and more familiar, so he asked his most reliable mate. Because it was not his boast, anyone he remembered or felt familiar should not appear on this island.
Ben Beckman looked at his idiot captain calmly. Such a dangerous person wouldn't even remember it seriously?
"I've seen it in the newspaper. The man from the Revolutionary Army, Noah, the enemy of the world, has 5 billion beli."
"Oh~, interesting. I wonder how this person got here?"
As he spoke, the red-haired man pressed the straw hat on his head, feeling a little alert. He is just careless, not really stupid. An extremely dangerous person came to the tavern in Windmill Village and thought of the thing he snatched from CP9 some time ago. It seems that the visitor is not a good person.
The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became tense. Ever since Beckman revealed Noah's identity, the crew of the red-haired pirate ship had been ready for a fight.
Every combatant in the tavern had a red light in his eyes, which was a sign that the power of seeing and hearing was fully activated. As a result, there was not a single combatant around, which shouldn't be the case. According to internal information, the leader of the Revolutionary Army is an extremely cunning young man with no martial ethics.
If you can fight in a group, you will never fight alone. If you can use strategies, you will never be reckless. The naval Sakaski fell twice into his hands, and some details of the battle were revealed and spread across the sea. Those who are unhappy with the Revolutionary Army and those who are unhappy with Akainu should all use this information to the fullest.
This changed Noah's reputation on the sea from a madman to a maniac who was capable of conspiracy.
Ben Beckman didn't feel anything from what he saw and heard, which made him more vigilant. Although his impression of Noah was not like what he heard from the gossip, it was not very good either. Because the revolutionary army itself represents huge trouble and unscrupulous madness.
"Guest, this is your wine."
Maginot, who didn't understand the atmosphere, calmly gave Noah a bottle of wine and a warm smile, perhaps hoping that Noah wouldn't be intimidated by other guests in the pub.
"Thank you. I'm a new traveler here. I didn't buy a newspaper on the way. Are there any newspapers here?"
"Yes, I'll get you one right now."
After that, Noah really took the newspaper and started reading it.
This... The red-haired crew members are all ready to start filming, but you're reading the newspaper?
As the most honorable man, how could the red-haired man let others ignore him? Without Luffy's pestering, Shi Shiran walked over and sat down.
"Brother, you look familiar. What do you call me?"
Chapter 129 Headshot of the Four Emperors
"Noah, from O'Hara."
"Where is O'Hara?"
The red hair didn't ask this, how could he not know O'Hara, so it was Luffy who asked, and Luffy crawled over from the ground, revealing a small head. Maginot's ears behind the bar also perked up. The biggest advantage of opening a tavern is that you can hear some interesting things.
O'Hara? Maginot thought for a moment, it didn't sound like a place name in the East China Sea.
Time is so ruthless. The Demon-Slaying Order's destruction of O'Hara caused a sensation in the world, but there are really not many people who still remember it now.
Shanks was also helpless as Luffy approached. No child at this age would be obedient. Of course, Luffy would not be obedient in the future. The peak of his wisdom has been like this from now until he becomes the Pirate King. .
In other words, the Revolutionary Army has a good reputation among civilians, and the purpose of their actions is not concealed at all, which is to help ordinary people live a good life, so in the red-haired view, Luffy and Maginot are still very safe.
"O'Hara, a place full of knowledge. There is an omniscient tree, very big and spectacular."
After thinking about it, Luffy probably didn't understand this sentence, so he added.
"It's where there are a lot of books."
"Oh, I don't like it."
The child is so direct. A word of displeasure makes the red-haired man break into a cold sweat. How can he say something bad about his hometown in front of others? Why is this naughty kid so desperate? Who taught him that?
"Hahaha, the child is ignorant and talking nonsense. Mr. Noah doesn't know why he came to Windmill Village? Are you here to see me?"
The red-haired man quickly changed the subject and asked the question directly.
'captain! How are you better than Luffy? A straight shot hit my face! ’
The red-haired pirate captains in the tavern felt a little embarrassed, as their own captains were only a little better than children.
"It's nothing. I came to see you. I just broke through some time ago. I want to find a master to try the sword. I heard you are here. How about it?"
Some time ago, in the East China Sea, there was a sword soaring into the sky. It was you!
The red-haired man's eyes were full of fighting spirit. Finally, he could have a good fight. It's been a year since I came to Donghai and I still haven't found a decent opponent. I didn't expect that the opponent I was very interested in before would actually come by myself, hahahaha.
The corner of his mouth slowly opened. Beckman had stopped me before and looked at it. This was the sympathy between masters. Unknowingly, his left hand grasped the hilt of Griffin's sword.
"This gentleman, and Mr Shanks, it is not right to fight, especially when young children are present."
Maginot transformed into a ruthless guardian and asked two violent young people to stop the boring behavior of fighting. At first, Maginot thought she had heard some gossip, but it turned out to be a fight. She didn't really like men who liked to fight.
Especially after hearing the announcement of the fight, little Luffy was already excited and punching on the spot. They are really two irresponsible guys.
The red-haired man, who was easily suppressed by the gentle young lady, gave Noah a look in private, indicating that he would make an appointment later. It's so...freeing.
Noah did not leave that day, but found a hotel and stayed for one night. There is nothing urgent at the moment. You can wait for the red hair to deal with the matter before starting a fight. It is just a good time to observe Luffy's current situation.
Noah gets a break, but Ben Beckman doesn't. Returning to the Red Foss, he dug out the recent news and the information he had collected previously. After carefully analyzing the reason why Noah came to Windmill Village, he didn't believe that it was just a fight. This was only normal for Hawkeye.
Um? It is suspected that the Celestial Dragons will visit Goa Kingdom! Beckman took a breath, so it turns out that he came here half a year in advance to check out the place, and he was very thoughtful. This guy is so scary.
Looking at the major events since Noah's debut, every time he did something very purposeful, this matter was by no means simple. It's a pity that no matter how hard Ben Beckman tried, he couldn't imagine that Noah really came here to find a fight with the redhead and to be a witness.
The Tianlongren incident didn't go as far as checking in half a year in advance, and he wasn't a detail maniac. Not to mention that Beckman stayed up all night, analyzed various data, and solemnly warned the crew.
The next day, Noah came to the tavern again and grabbed the last bottle of wine. This made Shanks very unhappy. How could he grab the last bottle every time and do it with the knowledge of others?
That's right, it was done with the knowledge and sex in mind. The red-haired guys really drink a lot, and they stop when they finish drinking. This is also a helpless choice. You can't go to a tavern and drink juice or milk like Luffy, otherwise the reputation of Revolutionary Lights will go in the direction of perversion.
bang
The door of the tavern was pushed open again. The business of Maginot Bistro is also very good today.
However, this visitor doesn't seem like a nice person.
A guy who looked like a gangster walked in, followed by a few younger brothers. He has black hair, a mustache, and a shabby face. Is this the legendary figure known as the Bandit King?
Was it such a coincidence?
The plot develops normally...
"What, there's no more wine! These guys drank it all!"
Noah minimized his presence and ate melon silently.
Sure enough, Shanks generously shared the wine in his hand with Sig. Just kidding, the bandit king Sig, who has a bounty worth 8 million Baileys, can be dismissed with a bottle of wine. The famous scene is about to happen! Noah stared there intently.
boom!
Bandit King Sig blasted the Yonko's head with a bottle of wine with his backhand. His combat power was unparalleled in the world. After mocking everyone present, he left the tavern with a domineering figure.
The innocent child was so angry that he quickly asked Shanks why he didn't fight back.
Faced with Luffy's doubts, the members of the red-haired pirate group laughed together, making the child extremely angry. This was not the pirate he imagined. He was going to avenge Shanks.
Noah actually doesn’t understand this kind of laughing thing. Is it a show of openness, or is it interesting. After thinking for a while, if the bandit king Sig wanted to give him a break, he might give the bandit king a punch and hit him everywhere.
Later, during the pull, Luffy showed off his rubber fruit ability, which surprised Shanks. Will this fruit of freedom be eaten by others?
"The most free fruit was eaten by someone, D's will, straw hat, rubber fruit. Red hair, have you thought of it?"
Noah, who was on the side, said these words lightly.
The red-haired man immediately looked at Noah who said this with serious eyes.
"I think, Noah, we need to talk."
Chapter 130 The battle of swords
Another desert island.
Noah and the redhead stood opposite each other.
The redhead thought he should say hello first, so Noah should get ready.
boom!
The overlord color, the domineering red-haired Shanks among the future Yonko, and the oppressive feeling of the most domineering man, made Noah feel excited. The overlord color started, I also like it very much!
boom!
Noah's overlord color is also revealed, and the illusory figure and rich red color come to the world again. The confrontation between two overlords is a scene that can only be seen on the top battlefields in the new world.
Oh~ This strange Overlord color scene opened Shanks's eyes. It turns out that Overlord color has such a way to play. I'm really, really excited! Take the intensity up another level.
Dark red lightning appeared at the junction of the domineering battle, and bursts of roaring sounds were heard in the void. The dark clouds in the sky were also divided into two camps by the domineering colors of the two, rushing and sweeping each other across the sky.
The rocks around the two of them have been crushed into pieces, the earth is cracked, torrents caused by strong winds are raging on the island, and the forest closest to them has been crushed. This is the ultimate battle for dominance.
As the confrontation gradually escalated, the scope became larger and larger. Combined with the rolling dark clouds and lightning in the sky, it looked like a natural disaster.
In the distance, everyone on the Red Foss looked at the strange scene on the island, and they were all secretly surprised. This was the first time they saw a domineering figure that could rival the captain.
"No, in terms of color, Noah is stronger!" The cold captain expressed his judgment.
"This, how is this possible!" The crew members received a violent shock.
"There is nothing impossible. If Shanks has the upper hand, he will take the initiative to withdraw his Haki, so that it will not affect the subsequent kendo battle. But now that Shanks is still releasing his Overlord color, that can only It shows that the opponent is extremely domineering!”
"Then this doesn't mean that the captain has lost."
"Look at the sky. The direction of the dark clouds has shifted towards Shanks. The captain is also a human being. The showdown between great swordsmen is ultimately about swordsmanship. The starting hand does not mean anything."
That's what he said, but when he saw Noah's outrageous overlord color, Beckman silently made a note in his heart: The overlord color is different from ordinary people, and the intensity is also abnormally high. He can try super long-distance containment to create a better future. A sure-kill opportunity.
Although Shanks would not adopt this suggestion, he still had to have a plan. He was such a worried first officer.
On the battlefield, Shanks' fighting spirit was completely ignited after he felt that his domineering look was slightly inferior to Noah's. This was how it felt. The feeling of oppression from the opponent!
The two looked at each other in tacit understanding, and at the same time withdrew their domineering aura. At this time, the entire island was in a mess, with trees flying everywhere.
The sound of two swords being unsheathed echoed across the island. The chilling atmosphere was far more dangerous than before.
The two walked towards each other slowly, faster and faster, then trotted, then accelerated again, and started running rapidly.
"Noah, don't die!"
"The same to you."
The two of them jumped up at the same time, Griffin slashed down with a determined and armed look, while Noah let the word "Hedao" turn into plain moonlight, showing a halo-like trajectory, and steadily took the shot. A sword.
Ding!
The sound of the two swords clashing spread throughout the island and to the far reaches of the sea. Level 12 strong winds burst out from the collision point of the swords again, sweeping across the entire island instantly. This time, the plants on the island suffered a devastating disaster and were destroyed. Uprooted. Waves also rose on the sea in the distance, sweeping towards the depths of the sea in a circular shape.
The two warring parties did not care about this impact and were still in a stalemate. This sword cannot be retreated! Both sides looked at the unyielding fighting spirit in each other's pupils, and couldn't help but use greater strength again, pressing their opponents with their swords.
Then, the intersection of power could not withstand such an impact. After continuing to exert great energy, it exploded directly, pushing away the two guys who were unwilling to take a step back.
A strong shock wave spread from the center, shattering the earth into pieces.
The two people who were temporarily pushed back by the shock wave waved their weapons to attack each other again. This time it was a duel between swordsmanship. In the hands of the two great swordsmen, the basic swordsmanship turned rotten into magical displays that ordinary people could not imagine. The power and sword speed are getting faster and faster, and then they will fight with their top-notch Haki and swordsman's intuition.
Wisdom and color can be deceived by moves, and sometimes intuition can be used, so there is experience to assist. When it comes to experience, Shanks is far stronger than Noah, so on the second day, Noah slowly fell into a disadvantage.
Ben Beckman in the distant sea once again smashed the waves with a punch. He didn't expect that he could be affected from such a distance. The two people on the island were indeed strong men standing on the top of the sea. Shanks has always been very strong, but he didn't expect that the one from the Revolutionary Army was also very strong. In the intelligence, it has never been recorded that Noah has such strength.
Either he has been hiding, or he is making rapid progress. Judging from next year, the latter is more likely. What a terrible person.
The red-haired man on the island was not only excited but also a little bit surprised. On the second day, with his rich fighting experience, he had actually slightly suppressed his opponent, but his opponent's learning ability was terrifying, and he quickly made up for his own weaknesses in one day.
The same mistake will only be made once, and there are some unconventional tricks to restore the situation. The more intense the battle, the greater the opponent's progress. What a genius.
Since he officially set sail, the name of genius has been attached to his head. He lived up to this reputation and grew up at an extremely fast speed. From a trainee crew member on the Pirate King's ship, he became the top pirate with the best chance of becoming the overlord of the sea.
