Chapter 973

For the Yuhai Army's hero Captain Kapu, Red-Haired Shanks instinctively felt fear and unease.

He had been psychologically scarred in the early days.

In later years…

Even if his strength rivaled that of the Four Emperors.

Red-Haired Shanks still could not avoid feeling immense fear and wariness toward Captain Kapu.

And why was that?

It was simple.

Captain Kapu's strength!

Captain Kapu's terrifying power made Red-Haired Shanks feel a constant pang of dread.

"Thankfully, I barely escaped with my life this time."

"From now on…"

"I'll never set foot in the East Blue again."

"The East Blue is an absolute forbidden zone for the Red-Haired Pirates!"

Red-Haired Shanks silently resolved in his heart.

No matter what,

he would never again set foot in the East Blue.

This place was simply too terrifying.

Even he, a Four Emperor-level powerhouse, had been driven into frantic flight.

"The villagers of Windmill Village…"

"This time, I, Shanks, truly owe you all an apology."

Suddenly thinking of the simple villagers of Windmill Village filled Red-Haired Shanks with deep guilt.

Even without the immense threat of Captain Kapu,

he would never dare return to Windmill Village as a guest again.

Simply because…

To escape Captain Kapu's pursuit,

to hinder him,

the Red-Haired Pirates had committed an evil act!

They unleashed artillery fire upon Windmill Village!

Although not a single scratch had been left on Windmill Village throughout the entire incident,

the act he had committed,

was already a betrayal of conscience!

Even with his thick skin, Red-Haired Shanks had no courage to ever return to Windmill Village as a guest.

·· ·········求鲜花··· ·····

"Let Windmill Village become my memory!"

Red-Haired Shanks sighed helplessly.

If that old man Captain Kapu hadn't been so strong,

they wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure.

But he could not deny…

They were pirates!

Their actions would naturally be extreme!

They were never anything good.

"Boss, are we preparing to return to the New World?"

The helmsman ran up to Red-Haired Shanks and asked.

"Mm."

"Get everyone ready."

"Prepare to return to the New World!"

"It's time to start preparing…"

"for seizing the Emperor's throne!"

"Even though I lost an arm, the Emperor's throne is absolutely not to be missed."

Red-Haired Shanks gripped his empty left arm, his gaze growing deep and serious.

So what if he lost an arm?

The Emperor…

He would become one!

He had to admit.

This time, coming specifically to Windmill Village in the East Blue, the Red-Haired Pirates indeed suffered heavy losses.

"Not only did we fail to take Little Lufei,

we also lost an arm to that monster, the Fist Demon!"

Red-Haired Shanks sighed deeply.

He was not overly angry.

After the initial fury, his heart gradually grew calm.

He lost his left arm…

He did not blame heaven or resent others.

It was only his own fault,

that he was not strong enough!

Otherwise,

he would not have lost an arm.

"The Fist Demon…"

"This little brat is truly incredible!"

"At only five years old, he severed one of my arms."

"Though that was because I was already injured."

"But his actions alone are enough to stir up a great storm across this sea!"

Red-Hair had a premonition.

As news of his lost arm spread across the East Sea back to the New World,

surely…

this news would completely overturn the entire New World!

Who is Red-Hair?

A mighty powerhouse of the Four Emperors level!

No less formidable than Kaido or Xia Luote Lingling.

Yet it was a powerhouse of this very level

who lost an arm in the East Sea, universally regarded as the weakest sea region.

Who could believe it?!

Even more terrifying is…

that the one who caused Red-Hair to lose his arm

was not the legendary hero Captain Kapu of the Marines.

But merely a boy of only five years old!

One could well imagine.

This outcome would inevitably cause a powerful shock in everyone's heart.

Therefore,

Red-Hair already had a premonition.
