Carlo Empire, Genting Sky Garden.
Keynes stood on the balcony with a glass of red wine in his hand, breezy and relaxed.
His subordinate cadres have all gone out.
After the destruction of the Beasts Pirates, the seas and territories occupied by Kaido were vacant, all waiting for Keynes to conquer and conquer.
tszzzz
Suddenly, with a flash of electricity, Enel appeared behind Keynes.
Keynes didn't look back, but he could sense that Enel was in a bad mood.
"What? Can't find anyone?"
Keynes asked quietly.
"You guessed it, the Red Hair Pirates have escaped."
Enel picked up the red wine on the table and took a sip, and said coldly.
"The people I sent out to investigate didn't find any sign of the Red Hair Pirates, nor did they find any members of their garrison on the islands occupied by the Red Hair."
"Red Hair Pirates are completely gone."
The more he talked, the darker Enel's mood became.
He couldn't understand how such a big Red Hair Pirates could disappear without a trace.
The corners of Keynes' mouth twitched, and he smiled calmly, "It's just what I expected.
Upon learning that the Red Hair Pirates had been to Wanokuni, Keynes concluded that the Red Hair Pirates would disappear after leaving Wanokuni.
He dared to come to Wanokuni because there was Kaido there.
He probably wanted to team up with Kaido to take on Keynes.
Now most of them are dead, leaving the Red hair alone and unable to support the war.
If he meets Keynes, he will certainly die.
Redhair pirates are smart people and naturally won't sit still.
It's humiliating to flee without a fight, though, and it would ruin the reputation of the Red Hair Pirates.
But that's nothing at all for Redhair Pirates.
Shanks is a person who doesn't care about face.
(Although his face is indeed useful!)
When Luffy was a child, Shanks was indifferent to being bullied by bandits, which shows how broad-minded he is.
Dodge Keynes' edge and lose some face in exchange for the life of the Red Hair Pirates.
Smart people like Shanks will naturally choose smart ways.
"Since the red hair has retreated, let's take over his territory."
Keynes ordered calmly.
"Others voluntarily give it up, and we have no reason to refuse."
"Understood, I have asked my subordinates to do it."
Enel nodded.
The Beasts Pirates were destroyed, the Red Hair Pirates fled without a fight, and Keynes was able to take over the remnants of two Four Emperors at once.
The Red Hair Pirates escaped without a fight, and it was the beginning of Keynes' unification of the New World.
As the war in the Kingdom of Caro spreads, everyone knows that Keynes will be the only overlord of the New World soon.
While many underground kings in the New World lamented the power of Keynes, there were also countless people who scolded the cowardice of the red hair.
In their opinion, the behavior of Red Hair Pirates fleeing without a fight is timid, greedy for life and fear of death!
The newspaper headline of Morgans was written sharply, and it was a blatant insult to the Four Emperors red hair!
"Killing tyrant Keynes pointed at the red hair of the Four Emperors, and the red hair Shanks fled without fighting?"
"The Red Hair Pirates are so discredited that they dare not fight head-to-head with Keynes, the terrifying Killing tyrant. "
"The weakest Four Emperors, the red-haired Shanks? Flee before the battle, and then smile generously!"
"Killing Tyrant Keynes dominates the New World, Red Hair Pirates retreat to Grand line?"
"Red Hair Pirates disappeared, suspected of surrendering to seclusion!"
"Red Hair Pirates has quietly disbanded in fear of killing the tyrant's name?
In short, with the growing popularity of Keynes' fierce reputation, the name of the red-haired Shanks has been trampled on.
All the pirates in the world began to spurn the redhead and flee without a fight!
In their opinion, the real powerhouses should all rise to the challenge.
Fear of fighting and running away is a low-level behavior, which makes them very condescending!
New World, a remote sea area, on a desert island.
This is where the Red Hair Pirates are stationed, and the center of the island is full of laughter, apparently having a party.
In the banquet center, the red-haired Shanks looked at the newspaper in his hand and laughed out loud.
His laughter was the loudest of the crowd.
"Hey, hey, captain, your name has been trampled under the soles of your feet, does it matter?"
"Yeah yeah, Captain, we Red Hair Pirates have been looked down upon."
"It's a shame that the story of the captain fleeing without a fight has spread around the world."
"Ahahahaha."
A group of pirate younger brothers burst out laughing, and everyone was making fun of the red hair.
True, none of them were outraged or unhappy with the Morgans report.
At this moment, they were still in the mood to have a banquet and laughed at each other.
At Red Hair Pirates, no one took this report to heart.
Because Morgan was right, they were really afraid, so they avoided fighting.
But they also have confidence in their own strength.
They will not shake their pirate hearts because of the words of outsiders.
The power of Red Hair Pirates does not need others to admit, and others are not qualified to comment.
As long as they themselves know they are strong enough, that's enough!
Confidence is a power!
This is one of the reasons why the Red Hair Pirates are the most powerful individual soldiers in the Four Emperors pirates.
In the corner next to the banquet, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates sat around the fire, and the atmosphere was in stark contrast to the people from the Red Hair Pirates.
Straw hats Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and others are still bandaged and their injuries have not yet healed.
Luffy blushed with anger at all the insults and insults against the red-haired Shanks in the newspaper, but there was nothing he could do.
"That guy, sooner or later I will knock him out!!!"
Luffy put down the newspaper and said with a boxing clap.
"Hey, don't be impulsive, Luffy, we're no match for them now."
Nami came up to stop it instantly.
Thinking of the war not long ago, the weak trio would still shiver with fear.
They are too weak for that level of war.
"I hate to admit it, but Luffy, Miss Nami is right."
"It's impossible to beat Keynes with the strength we have now.
Sanji shook his head and said helplessly.
Without getting Germa's battle suit, the bloodline factor in Sanji's body was not awakened.
Therefore, Sanji's combat power has not improved too much. In the previous war, he was severely injured by Weibull.
If Beckman hadn't rescued him in time, he would be dead now.
"Hahaha, are you discouraged? Young pirates."
Shanks came over with a glass of wine and sat beside Luffy.
"Long time no see, Luffy."
"Although I really want to abide by the agreement, it is a pity that we can only meet under such circumstances."
"No, I didn't keep the promise."
Luffy shook his head, then looked at the redhead and said, "Thank you for saving my comrade, Shanks."
"Ahahahaha, what nonsense are you talking about, don't be so serious."
"Today is a banquet, be happy, be happy!!!"
Shanks kept slapping Luffy's back, thumping.
But after drinking, the red-haired face became serious.
"Your Miss Navigator is right, Luffy."
"Now you guys, it's too early to meet Keynes."
Shanks looked at Luffy and said, "No matter how hard you try to become stronger, you can't beat him in a short time."
"The strength of that man has reached an unfathomable level."
"You've played against him, so you should be able to understand?"
Luffy shuddered, recalling the scene of the fight against Keynes on Ghost Island.
With just one punch, his Haki collapsed, his arm was broken, and his internal organs were damaged in multiple places.
If it wasn't for the rubber fruit's strong fighting ability, that punch from Keynes would have directly killed him.
