Chapter 596: Shanks's Purpose

"Since you know that, I won't beat around the bush."

After stating his position, Shanks continued, "Although what you did in Saint Mary Joa was very satisfying, you must not underestimate the Celestial Dragons. The reason you were able to escape from there this time was because they never thought that anyone would dare to cause trouble there or even kill Celestial Dragons... just like Fisher Tiger who liberated the slaves."

"The Knights of God? I have heard those Celestial Dragons mention it."

"That's right." Shanks nodded, "With the resources occupied by the Celestial Dragons, how could they all be a group of extravagant wastes? The real Celestial Dragon elites are all in the Knights of God, and their power is much greater than that of ordinary Celestial Dragons. The Five Elders who hold the highest power in the World Government are selected from the Knights of God."

"I came to you this time mainly to remind you not to underestimate the Celestial Dragons, especially the Knights of God, because of what happened before."

"Ah..."

Xie Wen scratched his cheek in surprise.

Originally, he thought that Shanks came to him to promote the idea of ​​"maintaining the stability of the sea". He had deliberately played tricks on him before, and didn't need Luffy and Ace to build a relationship with Red Hair. In addition to being unhappy after his whereabouts were exposed, another reason was that Xie Wen didn't really approve of the other party's so-called "maintaining stability".

But now...

Doesn't it seem that I don't know what's good for me?

So now it's Xie Wen's turn to be embarrassed.

"But you don't have to worry too much," seeing Xie Wen's "difficult look", Shanks comforted him again: "With your current strength, as long as you are not careless, it is not difficult to deal with them, and the Knights of God generally will not take action easily, you mainly have to deal with the admirals of the navy."

"The admirals of the navy are already very troublesome..." Xie Wen couldn't help but complain: "Especially that guy Akainu, he is just like his nickname, like a mad dog."

"Hahaha," Shanks, who also didn't like Akainu very much, laughed, "If it doesn't work, just run, I don't think there should be a ship that can catch up with you now."

As he said, he looked at the Toot Toot on the shore with some envy.

Although his Red Verse is also great, if he can have a super pirate ship like the Toot Toot that can go to the sky and into the earth, even Shanks can't refuse it.

Xie Wen pursed his lips without comment. It was fine if he tried to avoid the navy because he was afraid of trouble, but if Akainu really came to him, he would not run away. He would at least cut off the other leg of that guy!

After Shanks withdrew his gaze from the Toot Toot, he looked at Xie Wen again, "Next, it's the second thing..."

He put his remaining right hand on the hilt of his sword "Griffin", his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"I heard from Mihawk that your swordsmanship is very interesting. Can I see it?"

"Oh?" Xie Wen was stunned for a moment, and took out the fresh sword Shiragi with the same fighting spirit. "In fact, even if you don't say it, I want to fight with you...Except for Whitebeard who is in poor health, I have fought with the other two Four Emperors. It's a good opportunity for me to see what the difference is between you four emperors."

"Hahahaha! I think I won't let you down!"

Shanks laughed loudly, and the domineering color that felt slightly better than Whitebeard once again pressed towards Xie Wen with overwhelming force...

Then Xie Wen slowly took the two kittens off his shoulders and asked them to step aside.

"Come on, Brother Xie Wen, meow!"

(=`=)

"Hmph! If you get hurt, I will definitely use Satan Potion to treat you, meow!"

(=`へ=)

After Klee and Haibara cheered Xie Wen up in their own ways, they ran obediently to the other cats.

Shanks looked at the two kittens who were completely unaffected with some confusion.

It was expected that Xie Wen could withstand his Conqueror Haki, but these two cats who looked like children did not react at all, which was a bit incredible. You know, he just pressed most of the Conqueror Haki on Xie Wen. In this case, even the admiral of the navy might not be able to handle it as if nothing had happened...

If Baby-5 and the weaker members of the Red Hair Pirates had not been stunned by the Conqueror Haki just now, Shanks would have doubted whether there was something wrong with his proud Conqueror Haki.

Good opportunity!

Just when Shanks was distracted, Xie Wen's eyes lit up and he immediately launched a righteous sneak attack.

Link time, go!

Monster Hunter Style·Empty Soul Possession!

Monster Hunter Style·Hunting Skill·Demon Sword Rakshasa!

Monster Hunter Style·Secret Skill·Crimson Dragon Blade!

Facing the Four Emperors, Xie Wen naturally had no intention of holding back. In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Shanks, raised the fresh sword·Shiraki in his hand, and chopped down on the opponent's head!

"Clang——!"

At this critical moment, Shanks still reacted in time. He held up Griffin with one hand to block in front of himself and took Xie Wen's attack.

However, Shanks was short of time to prepare, so although he blocked Xie Wen's Crimson Dragon Blade, he was chopped away directly because of insufficient preparation.

"Oh oh oh! Brother Xie Wen is the best!"

(=＞＜=)

Kelimiao, the chief cheerleader of the El Cat Investigation Team, jumped up immediately, dancing and cheering on the sidelines.

As for the red-haired pirates, they didn’t show any surprised expressions...

After all, Xie Wen's bounty can be said to be only lower than that of the Four Emperors, so it is not surprising to have such a performance.

So instead of being surprised, they made fun of their captain loudly as usual.

"Hahahaha! Captain, you are so embarrassed!"

"Is it because you didn't have lunch?"

"I think it's because I didn't drink?"

"Come on Xie Wen! Give our captain a serious lesson!"

Jesus praised this man who had just received the grace of thanksgiving, and in turn cheered him up.

"You, the Four Emperors... don't seem to have any majesty?"

Although Blue Star also has little status in the investigation team, the cats are still very considerate at this time and are cheering for him, so Xie Wen has the confidence to make fun of Shanks in front of him.

"You bastards! Shut up!"

Shanks first yelled at his group of booing subordinates with a dark face, and then said to Xie Wen with excitement: "Mihawk is right, your swordsmanship is really special!"

He lowered his body slightly, made a movement to prepare for a sprint, and reminded seriously: "Next, let you also experience my swordsmanship... Be careful, otherwise you will die..."

"God avoids!"
