The Age of the "Four Emperors"
Coming soon.
Compared with Rob's memory, the "Four Emperors" era will come after the Sea Circle Calendar 1516, when Shanks has enough strength and power to reach the top, it is more than four years earlier!
But it's normal to think about it--
With Rob's presence, it's like having a mountain pressing down on top of Shanks.
When the goal is clear and you want to climb.
Shanks, who was able to reach the top between the ages of thirty-three and thirty-four, is now growing faster, becoming the new overlord of the sea earlier, and opening the era of "Four Emperors". A matter of course!
So--
It is almost inevitable that the era of "Four Emperors" will come ahead of schedule.
Snap!
After reading all the newspapers, Rob had a thoughtful look on his face.
He pondered:
"In other words - if we go to Wanokuni at this time, not only will we not be able to find Kaido, but we may not even be able to meet the main force of the Beasts Pirates.
He ran all the way there and jumped on an empty thing, Rob didn't want to meet it!
Moreover, Wanokuni is Kaido's base camp after all. If there is a war there, for Robin, Uta, and Makino, the degree of danger they bear is also too high.
"So-----
Rob's eyes flickered slightly.
He smiled and said:
"Next, just snipe the Beasts Pirates on the sea! It's safer and more secure! As for the poneglyph of Wanokuni...we can get it later!"
Anyway, those poneglyph can't escape!
After confirming the plan.
Rob took out his Den Den Mushi and dialed Stussy, one of the underground giants, again, planning to get information on the whereabouts of the Beasts Pirates from her!
Ten minutes later.
Satisfied, Rob hung up the phone.
He headed towards Angel and said:
"Xiaobai! Steer right! We're not going to Wanokuni."
Clatter——
As Rob's voice fell, the Angel's rudder turned on its own, and then sailed directly to the right.
Rob walked to the cabin, and with the course changed, he naturally had to have a good talk with Robin and the others!
At the same time--
In another sea area, the Red Force was sailing through the wind and waves. Sitting on a box on the deck, Shanks was holding a stack of information in his hand and was quickly flipping through the information on it.
The cadres and members of the Red Hair Pirates were eating, drinking, and having fun one by one. Some of them had bandages and other things on their bodies, carrying minor injuries from the battle, but nothing serious!
The cadres of the Red Hair Pirates were not injured at all!
The two weeks of fighting hadn't harmed this group of already quite powerful Red Hair Pirates cadres.
"Is it out? Beasts Pirates!"
There was a serious look in his eyes as he read the information he just got about Kaido leaving Wanokuni with the Beasts Pirates. Rob guessed right—
If he went to Wanokuni at this time, he would definitely not meet Kaido.
After reading all the information, Shanks stood up directly:
"Bros!"
Swish Swish Swish
The moment they heard Shanks's words, all the cadres and members of the Red Hair Pirates looked at Shanks, stopped talking, and waited for his order. In the past half month, they had fully understood the strength of their boss!
Except for Rob, it can be said that he is completely invincible. He has never met an opponent who needs him to strike twice.
Even when encountering one of the three All-Stars, the "Drought" Jack, that rather arrogant young man, it was an easy one-strike victory!
When Shanks is serious, his sense of majesty is directly full.
"The enemy is coming!"
Shanks, with a serious face, said in a deep voice:
"The main force of the Beasts Pirates has already been dispatched under the leadership of Kaidou of the Beasts! Next, we have a tough battle to fight! The latest island supplement maps are in the next ten books!"
"Let's choose a good battlefield and wait for the arrival of the Beasts Pirates! Use this battle to tell the sea's overlords that we are their opponents in the New World from now on!"
"Victory—is ours!"
After Shanks's voice fell, everyone in the Red Hair Pirates was silent for a while, then they all raised their glasses high.
Answered loudly:
"oh!"
Clatter——
The Red Force braved the wind and waves, quickly sailing toward the nearest island that could be replenished.
Shanks, who was preparing to face the Beasts Pirates, had no idea at this moment that Rob was about to cut him off and, before him, have a head-on fight with the Beasts Pirates and Kaido!
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye—
Half a month passed.
This day—
On an island with the Beasts Pirates flag in the New World, the main force of the Beasts Pirates from Wanokuni is resting and replenishing supplies in the town on this island!
Inside the huge camp encircled by the Beasts Pirates,
With a height of seven meters one, wearing his purple cloak, shirtless and with a horned head, he is currently recognized by the whole world as "the strongest creature in the world" and one of the three overlords of the New World, Kaido, the King of Beasts, sits casually on the main seat in the middle!
There is a strong sense of majesty exuding from his body without anger.
And above Kaido's starting position——
Dressed in a black punk style, with a mask on his head and a long sword hanging from his waist, he has a pair of big black wings, one of the three All-Stars, King the Conflagration, and Jack the Drought.
And other smaller cadres, all gathered here.
"Red Hair Pirates, haven't they been found yet?"
Kaido, drinking from a small bowl, doesn't have a good look on his face.
"It's been half a month! We can't stay out for too long, you know?"
Hearing Kaido's inquiry, King's tone is serious:
"Just now, some subordinates have sent news that they can locate the Red Hair Pirates in just one more day."
Gulp
Taking a sip of sake, Kaido spoke again:
"Really? Hurry up!"
King nodded.
When he was about to answer Kaido, a small boss of the Beasts Pirates ran to the camp in a panic:
"Master Kaido! Something is wrong!"
Hearing the words of this little boss, Kaido looked at him with extremely oppressive eyes:
"Huh? What happened? What's the fuss about?"
Meeting Kaido's gaze, the little boss quickly said, trembling:
"Master Kaido, that 'World's Strongest' - Rob's ship is approaching this island, the other side should have spotted us, but there is no sign of leaving!"
Swish Swish Swish——
A pair of gazes with various emotions were all directed at this little boss.
King's eyes were very serious, understanding that encountering Rob on the sea at this moment would definitely not be a good thing. The name of a person, his shadow like a big tree, and Rob's strength are recognized by the sea!
Jack's eyes were full of eagerness, with an expression of hatred on his face. The memory of being instantly defeated by Rob when they took the boat together was the first time in his life that Jack suffered a disastrous defeat. One can imagine his hatred for Rob.
As for Kaido, when he heard Rob's name, his eyes lit up, and his face showed a mixture of surprise and excitement.
Then he laughed out loud:
"Rob? Is that the brat? Wororororo!"
While talking, Kaido stood up directly and lifted the Hassaikai that was at hand.
With a look of war, he opened his mouth:
"I didn't find the Red Hair Pirates, but that Rob came to my door! If that's the case, then it's time—years ago, Jack was injured by him, and it should be settled!"
Hearing that Kaido wants to avenge him, Jack standing next to him immediately asked:
"Mr. Kaido, let me go!"
Hearing Jack's initiative to ask for a job, King on one side said in a deep voice:
"Shut up, Jack! Are you trying to die? And Mr. Kaido is still here; Rob will be Mr. Kaido's prey!"
Hearing King's words, Jack was taken aback for a moment and then bowed his head to admit his mistake:
"Sorry, Mr. Kaido!"
Hearing the conversation between Jack and King, Kaido had a casual look on his face and smiled, saying:
"It doesn't matter! If you are confident and want to give it a try, then go for it! Worororo... Just let me see where that brat got the courage to take the initiative to come to the door!"
For Rob's arrival, Kaido couldn't believe that it was a chance meeting. Who didn't know that this island is Beasts Pirates territory?
So, Rob coming over even knowing it just means—
Rob came to the door on his own initiative!
Hearing Kaido's words, a look of surprise appeared on Jack's face:
"I got it! Mr. Kaido!"
While talking, Jack turned and left the camp, heading to the shore, ready to face the approaching Rob.
At the same time, King's eyes flashed:
"Mr. Kaido, is there really no problem with this? Jack shouldn't be Rob's opponent!"
After hearing King's words, Kaido lifted the barrel of sake next to him:
"It doesn't matter! Let Jack feel the power of 'Apex'! With me here, he can't die!"
As long as he doesn't die—
Then there's no big problem.
While talking, Kaido walked toward the shore, continuously pouring sake into his mouth.
And behind him, King followed without saying a word. As Kaido's deputy, it was naturally impossible for him to be absent in the upcoming scene!
