Chapter 542 - On the Eve of the Big Event: Red-Haired Shanks’ Actions

Red-Haired Shanks.

The New World’s youngest Yonko(Four Emperors) personally rushed to the Whitebeard sea region and boarded Whitebeard Pirates’ flagship, Moby Dick.

At this sensitive time, when Portgas D. Ace was captured by World Government, the action of Red-Haired Shanks coming to Whitebeard Pirates was enough to shake the world.

No matter what Red-Haired Shanks wanted to say to the Whitebeard Edward Newgate, even if it were a declaration of war or an alliance, it would greatly change the direction of the world.

Moby Dick.

The moment the Red-Haired Shanks stepped on Moby Dick, he directly released his Haki. His strong Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki) made it hard for people to breathe!

The deck of the Moby Dick was also shattering inch by inch!

Shanks was not like the optimistic pirate in the past. Now his face had become serious. At this moment, Shanks finally showed the posture of a Yonko(Four Emperors)!

“Step back a little. This guy’s Haki is not someone you can deal with.”

Marco frowned and noticed the Whitebeard Pirates members who were on the verge of fainting under Shanks’ Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki).

Marco turned to look at Shanks and said coldly, “Hey, Shanks, do you want to show off here?”

“No, I just have something to talk to you about…”

Shanks’ expression gradually calmed down. He looked at Marco with a smile and said, “Speaking of which, Marco, do you want to board my ship…”

“I don’t have that kind of interest.”

Marco was too lazy to bother with Shanks’ solicitation.

Shanks was not the first person to recruit Marco.

For so many years, all of the Yonko(Four Emperors) had invited Marco, and both Big Mom and Kaido had tried to recruit him.

No matter how much the Yonko(Four Emperors) lowered their status and valued Marco, Marco would never betray Whitebeard. What these people did was always useless.

Shanks could only shake his head helplessly.

The next moment, Shanks’ gaze slowly moved and fell on Sasuke, who had his wound finished bandaging. His expression gradually became serious.

To be honest…

Shanks had never seen Sasuke in such a sorry state!

Even when Sasuke defeated Red Hair Pirates’ vice-captain, Benn Beckman, he didn’t suffer any injuries in that battle.

In the past few years, Whitebeard Pirates had some friction with the other Yonko(Four Emperors) Pirate Group. It was said that other than Beast Pirates’ Naruto, there was basically no one else in the Yonko(Four Emperors) Pirate Group that was in Sasuke’s eyes…

“Sasuke also came back…”

Shanks’ eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at the gauze on Sasuke’s body and said in a deep voice, “It seems that the enemy you encountered is more troublesome than I thought…”

Shanks was very clear about the whole story.

When Sasuke and Ace were chasing Teach, Shanks opened his mouth to send a message to Sasuke, hoping that he would be careful of Teach, but he did not stop them from chasing Teach.

In the end, there was a big incident where Ace was arrested and would even be publicly executed…

Moreover, Shanks received the news earlier than the newspaper, so he came to see Whitebeard quickly. Shanks himself had some secret channels to get some inside information about the World Government.

When Shanks received the news, he didn’t expect that… Kabuto, who made the pirates and the Revolutionary Army hate him, actually developed the CP department to such an extent and recruited an agent who could hurt Sasuke!

“You don’t have to worry.”

Sasuke looked at Shanks coldly and stretched out his hand to tighten the gauze on his body.

He slowly picked up the Kusanagi Sword beside him and said, “If you want to mock me, it’s not your turn yet…”

Facing Shanks, Sasuke would never retreat!

Even if Sasuke were injured now, he still would not feel that he was at a disadvantage because Shanks lost an arm many years ago…

Even if they fight now…

It can be considered a balance?

“Sasuke, this is not a mockery.”

Shanks shook his head slowly and said with a serious face, “After all, we are still considered friends. After we have finished chatting, I still have to go to Kaido’s sea region to visit Naruto. He has always been very concerned about you…”

“…”

Sasuke’s expression was subtle.

Although the friction between Yonko(Four Emperors) had never stopped, in the past few years, Shanks had become good friends with Naruto, who had joined Beast Pirates.

These idiots…

They seemed to be very sensitive when they found their own kind.

However, this kind of thing was also very normal.

According to Naruto’s character, facing a man with a straightforward character like Shanks. Even if they were still enemies, it did not prevent them from slowly becoming friends.

And Shanks’ attitude toward Naruto was simply extraordinarily friendly. He even hoped that Naruto could join his pirate group more than once.

Naruto was backed by Akatsuki Organization and naturally refused.

As their friendship deepened, Shanks gradually found Naruto’s characteristics. He thought that Naruto had a charm similar to that of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger.

This charm will surely attract many people to be with him.

Shanks even mentioned to Kaido and in front of many people that if Kaido were willing to let Naruto leave Beast Pirates, Naruto would definitely be able to become a captain who was on par with the Pirate King Gol D. Roger!

Although Shanks always thought that what he said was the truth…

But when these words came out, there was always the suspicion of sowing discord between Beast Pirates. After all, there was no one who could defeat Naruto…

Obviously, Shanks was playing tricks.

The hostility of the entire Beast Pirates toward Shanks was getting heavier and heavier.

However, as the most respected Yonko(Four Emperors) and the freest pirate group on this sea, Shanks naturally did as he pleased and did not care about what others thought about him.

On the Moby Dick.

Shanks still did not change his opinion. After Shanks mentioned Naruto, he could not help but continue to say, “Come to think of it, Sasuke, weren’t you and Naruto companions in the past? If the two of you can form a pirate group…”

“Shut up.”

Sasuke interrupted Shanks and coldly said, “You don’t have to worry about him and me!”

“What a pity…”

Shanks shook his head and sighed regretfully. He was really optimistic about the combination of Naruto and Sasuke.

“Alright, red-haired brat.”

Whitebeard interrupted their conversation and said in a low voice, “What are you here for? We don’t have time to receive guests…”

Because of Ace’s arrest, the atmosphere in Moby Dick was a little low. Whitebeard still wanted to discuss with his sons about saving Ace.

Now, Whitebeard was not in the mood to entertain anyone.

“Sorry, please allow me to explain the purpose of my visit.”

Shanks walked to Whitebeard, and his face gradually became serious, “I came here to help you rescue Portgas D. Ace.”

“No need.”

Whitebeard lowered his head in displeasure and looked at Shanks coldly, “Ace is my son. I will save him. I don’t need anyone else to intervene!”

“No, only this time may be an exception…”

Shanks shook his head and said in a deep voice, “I know I should not interfere in this matter. Although Ace is Captain Roger’s son. After he joined Whitebeard Pirates, everything should be decided by you, the Captain…”

Speaking up to this point, Shanks’ tone changed, and his expression became more serious, “I’m sorry, but this time is an exception. I got definite news that Ace’s arrest this time was premeditated…”

Shanks raised his head and looked at Whitebeard. His voice suddenly became heavy, “This is a conspiracy against the world… It came from Marshall D. Teach, or perhaps it was from Blackbeard!”

According to the news Shanks got, the arrest of Portgas D. Ace was indeed Marshall D. Teach’s plot. The purpose was to provoke a war between Whitebeard Pirates and the marine.

Of course…

Teach’s plot was just a coincidence.

Because the World Government also had a plan to deal with Yonko(Four Emperors), this matter was fully handled by the Chief Inspector of the Marine Headquarters and the highest commander of the CP department, Yakushi Kabuto.

Kabuto’s main purpose was to target the Revolutionary Army. At the same time, he wanted to lure a powerful force out to make the weak Revolutionary Army take the initiative to enter the game. Coincidentally, Teach found Kabuto and said that he wanted to help the marine capture Ace.

Teach’s shadow was everywhere in this matter.

The secret version of the World Government was also the same. Kabuto had not thought about which pirate group to choose to carry out his own conspiracy plan. As a result, Marshall D. Teach took the initiative to come to his door, forcing Kabuto to send the CP department to deal with Ace.

After the marine caught Ace, the World Government had to urge Kabuto to push the big event forward step by step. The marine was also mobilizing thier troops to prepare for the war.

“Oh.”

The expression on Whitebeard’s face didn’t change at all.

This matter, Whitebeard had already thought about it. But no matter who it was, he didn’t care. Even if this plot was targeted at him, what could he do?

Or perhaps, Whitebeard had no other choice!

Moreover, Whitebeard definitely wouldn’t have any other choice. No matter what, he would definitely save Ace. How could a father ignore his son, who was in deep distress?

“If you save Ace, you will definitely fall into Teach’s plot. I don’t know what he wants to do, but I know he must be hiding in the darkness and hiding his fangs…”

Shanks looked at Whitebeard and slowly made his request, “In order to avoid a war that can destroy the world, I hope you can hold back for the time being, lest the situation gets worse…”

When Shanks said this, his speech speed gradually became faster, “Before Ace is publicly executed, I will find a way to help you bring Ace back.”
