Higuma was annoyed when he saw the red-haired young man dared to ignore him!
How could he stay quiet after this? He had to mock them again!
"I don't know what you are doing here, but you should scram before you are injured! If you dare to come any closer, I will blow a hole in your head, you good-for-nothing!"
Higuma showed mercy on the future Four Emperors!
Did you think eight million Belly bounty was a joke?
At the same time, a mountain bandit raised his gun and aimed it at Shanks' head. "I told you not to come any closer. Be careful, or your head will roll."
"Hahaha!"
All the mountain bandits laughed. They didn't even consider pirates as a threat.
The villagers were also sweating at this moment. After all, guns were very scary in their opponent. If they were shot in the head, they would instantly die.
However, Giotto believed that Shanks should've learned Haki at this point. Even if he had not made much progress in the past few years, a mere bullet would not even be able to pierce through his Color of Arms Haki's defense.
However, these small fries in East Blue obviously did not even know what Haki was!
"Since you've taken out your gun, you must risk your life!"
At this time, Shanks' tone finally changed. He became a little serious. "This thing is not a toy to scare people!"
"Bang!"
The moment Shanks finished his sentence, Lucky Roux directly appeared next to the mountain bandit and killed the mountain bandit with one shot while eating the meat chunk on his hand.
It was as if he was telling others that killing a mountain band it was an easy thing that he could do it while eating!
"What a speed! He's even faster than our elite members!" Aria could barely see Lucky Roux's movement. Of course, this was partly because she did not pay much attention. Otherwise , she would definitely be able to follow Lucky Roux's movement. After all, the level of Aria's Color of Observation Haki was very high.
Shanks' expression also became serious at this time. He immediately said, "Listen up… You can pour drinks on me, you can throw food at me… You can even spit on me. I'll just laugh that stuff off. But… Good reason or not… Nobody hurts a friend of mine!"
"Keep barking!" Higuma's face changed, but he still underestimated Shanks. After all, Lucky Roux's shot was just a despicable sneak attack in his eyes. "Kill these ignorant pirates!"
However, in the next few seconds, Ben Beckman demonstrated to everyone that these mountain bandits were no match for him.
He used his flintlock like a bat and easily killed all the mountain bandits. Then he pointed his gun at Higuma and said coldly, "Don't embarrass yourself, mountain bandits! If you want to challenge us, you have to bring a warship at the very least!"
"Giotto, can't you just end this farce in an instant? That arrogant mountain bandit almost made me die of embarrassment. Any of our men can kill him. Where did his arrogance come from?"
Aria said to Giotto.
While they were alone, she would call Giotto by his name. This way, it would be more intimate. However, in formal occasions, she would still address him as Primo.
While Aria was speaking, Higuma threw out a smoke grenade without hesitation. He then grabbed Luffy and quickly ran away.
It was definitely not that he could not beat Shanks, but... um...
A strategic retreat maybe?
Seeing Shanks and the others went to find Luffy and Higuma, Giotto secretly took out the camera Den Den Mushi he had prepared. Coming up next was the Sea King's one and only moment, so Giotto was thinking of recording it as a memento?
Just imagine how much money he could get when Giotto handed the photo where Shanks' arm was gnawed by a Sea King to Morgan once Shanks became one of the Emperors?
In other words, a huge profit for absolutely zero capital!
Wait a minute!
If that was the case, then wouldn't the photo of Higuma smashing Shanks' bottle in the pub could fetch a good price in the future?
In an instant, Giotto felt that he had found the answer to his financial problem!
"Heh heh heh heh, what are you so giddy about, Primo?"
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Giotto. Giotto turned around and noticed that it was just one of the villagers. However, this villager seemed awfully odd.
Giotto frowned and his expression turned serious. "Did Demon Spade possess him?"
That was right! This villager did not say those words out of his own will. Instead, someone controlled him. To be precise, someone possessed him and manipulated his consciousness.
However, this was not his complete possession. He simply borrowed this villager's body and appeared here, but since when?
While he was in Foosha Village, he had never sensed Demon Spade's presence!
"Hyper Intuition is really a very convenient ability, but you don't have to worry. I don't have any ill intentions for the time being. This time, I'm just here to see you. With your current strength, dominating the whole New World should be feasible, but here you are playing around with a woman..."
The villager that was possessed by Demon Spade slowly said, "As expected, no matter how long it has been, and even in different worlds, you are still hopelessly stupid. It is because of this that I am disappointed in you!"
"Demon Spade, you..."
Without giving Giotto a chance to speak, Demon Spade shook his head. "There is no need to say more. We'll both do what we have to do. We will meet again in the near future, Primo!"
As soon as he said that, the villager's consciousness returned. The villager was confused and did not have what had just happened.
At this time, there was a huge movement in the sea. The moment he turned his head, Giotto saw the scene where the Sea King bit off Shanks 'arm and then being scared away by Shanks Color of Supreme King Haki.
