Chapter 159
🕑 Added 2021-09-07 11:45:26 +0000 UTCAs the Blood Star Pirates roamed the New World carefree, the entire Grand Line was engulfed in horrific news. Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, was killed on her own territory. And she was killed by none other than the rookie pirate who recently became Yonko - James D. More, better known as the Sea Devil. Not even a few months had passed since he became a Yonko, and he had already done something similar. Many are already accustomed to his antics, but no one expected something like this at all.
Less than a few days later, Morgans described all the events in the newspaper and spread the news around the world. Even the World Government did not have time to react, as this rascal has already ruined everything to the world:
“The New Era has arrived and the Sea Devil is its brightest representative. Yonko's credibility is in question, the Balance of Power must change. Having swept across the holy ground, swept through Marineford and killed the admiral, he did not stop. Now Yonko fell at his hands. Candy Generals fell at the hands of his team. The current Big Mom pirates will no longer be able to recover.
What will happen next? What will these pirates do? Should we expect another Yonko to die? Will the Sea Devil become the next Pirate King? "
Many pirates who read this news had their eyes lit up. All those who were still thinking about piracy, all those who had different kinds of dreams, gathered overnight and threw themselves into the sea. The world is chaotic, the world is restless. It is not known what will happen next, but only in such conditions the most legendary people can be born!
***
A few days later. When the world began to calm down and when the next news from the World Government appeared, the world welcomed another wave of noise. But there were also those who did not pay much attention to this ...
In the endless sea, there was a lone ship with raised white sails and a black flag. The Jolly Roger on it belonged to the infamous Red Hair Pirate.
At that moment, the whole team greeted the guest.
A small raft moored next to the large ship. A rather famous person was sitting on it. The world's strongest swordsman is Drakul Mihawk.
The man got up and jumped onto the deck with a light movement. After greeting everyone and noticing Shanks smiling, the swordsman approached him.
Shanks patted his friend on the shoulder and said with a smile:
- How old, how many winters old man, how are you?
- Not bad ... And you I see, as usual, not busy with anything? Mihawk chuckled.
- Ha-ha, you know me ... - Shanks laughed, then waved his hand: - Let's go have a drink.
- I didn't come here to drink ...
Shanks did not let the swordsman finish and dragged him into the cabin.
- Yes, let's go, I say, I have a barrel of your beloved ...
Mihawk just sighed and followed Shanks.
When both pirates entered the cabin, Shanks sat down on the sofa and pulled out a small barrel of wine.
The cabin was fairly well maintained and well appointed. But these were not jewels or riches. These were maps, paintings, photographs. Lots of navigation tools, a few small chests piled up against the wall. In the middle of the room was a small table and a chair. And not far away was a mini-bar, next to which there was already a much larger table and a couple of armchairs with a sofa. The table was illuminated by bright sunlight passing through a window nearby. And not far away was a closet filled with all sorts of books. Directly opposite, against the far wall, was a large painting, the largest in the cabin. It showed a huge ship with red sails. It was legendary - Ora Jackson. The Roger Pirates' ship. Next to the ship, there was a large crowd of people. Each had a different mood, someone frowned, someone swore, and someone happily waved and smiled happily. The majority were happy, but those who frowned still looked happy. In the center of the photo, there was a tall, mustachioed pirate, hugging two nakamas. On the left was a blonde with glasses, with a slight smile, and on the right, a large man in a kimono and with two swords. He wore a pair of katanas on his belt and a bright smile on his face.
Not far from them, there were two Minks, a cat and a dog, respectively. And a pretty pretty girl with two small children next to her. One wore a straw hat over his red hair, and the other was blue-haired with a red nose. Both smiled brightly and looked really happy.
Glancing at the photograph, Shanks smiled warmly. Following his friend's gaze, Mihawk couldn't help but smile. He had seen this photo dozens of times already, but every time he looked at it, he felt warmth.
Pouring himself and Mihawk a drink, Shanks took a sip of wine and asked:
- So what brings you to me? Really changed his mind and decided to fight?
- First, grow your hand ... - the swordsman grinned, and then pulled out a large folded sheet of paper from his bosom and handed it to Shanks.
Looking at the sheet, Shanks immediately knew what it was. He will not confuse flyers with awards with anything. Smiling, he asked:
- What are you bringing? I have enough of mine too.
Mihawk smiled enigmatically and, placing the leaflet on the table, said:
- And you look and you will immediately understand.
Shanks became interested and immediately took the sheet ...
When he saw the one depicted there, he was not particularly surprised, but when he saw the awards for the pirate's head, he muttered in amazement:
- Damn it ... Looks like they made it one of the main targets.
Rolling up the flyer, Shanks asked grimly:
- So he killed Linlin?
Mihawk nodded, after which Shanks let out a long breath.
- I did not doubt his talent, but in order to become so strong in such a period ...
Mihawk drank his wine and asked gloomily:
"Do you think he's capable of reaching Lough Tail?"
Shanks glanced at the distant photograph and sighed.
- It is possible ... If he is able to "hear", then he has a chance. The last pointer will be difficult to find, but should be able to handle. Just...
- What's easy"?
Shanks grinned wryly.
“I suppose he will be disappointed. This whole "great secret" is a very funny thing. In addition, everything depends not on strength, but on simple luck ... I just hope that he will not do trouble if he is lucky.
- What about Monkey D. Luffy? Mihawk asked with a smile.
Shanks laughed.
- Haha, the guy has the same carefree dream as the captain. They are really very similar ... That day, in the Fusia village, I was sure that he would reach great heights. Who knows what will happen next ... Even Rocks, being so strong, died anyway. The one Lough Tale needs may not show up at all. All I can do is just be able to help someone who floats there. The dream that Joy Boy bequeathed, I want to be one of those who will see how it comes true!
Mihawk laughed.
- Whaha ha ha ha! I thought your dream was to get drunk without restraint.
Shanks laughed in response, after which the friends began to drink merrily, remembering their past and speculating about the future. About a future that has become chaotic and completely unpredictable ...
