Chapter 209

Hero Karp said with a grim face:

"Emperor Luo Xing! That fellow nearly killed Luffy at Sabaody, and now he has committed such heinous crimes—he is even worse than Rocks from back then!"

At God Valley,

Karp once joined forces with Luo Jie to wipe out the Rocks Pirates.

Who would have thought that forty years later, a figure even more troublesome than Rocks would rise once more.

The three Admirals, the Navy's supreme combat power.

Aokiji wore a Solemn Expression.

Kizaru tilted his mouth: "His methods and speed are terrifying indeed, Emperor Luo Xing!"

Kizaru had already dealt with Luo Xing once; he did not wish to face Luo Xing again.

Fighting to the death is bad for an old man's waist.

It is best for him to slack off during this War of the Best.

On the seat beside him, Akainu was completely different from the seasoned veteran Kizaru; he was short-tempered and upheld absolute justice.

"Damn it!"

Akainu directly turned the newspaper into ash with magma and roared in fury:

"Destroying Impel Down and releasing all those criminals—what will the world become?!"

Akainu was beyond furious.

He wished he could fly to Sabaody immediately and kill Luo Xing.

In his rage, he stood up; seeing the sailors in panic and low morale, he grew even angrier and let out a roar:

"What are you panicking about?! They are just a bunch of pirates about to die!!"

"Meteor Volcano!!"

Akainu raised both arms and fired countless magma meteors.

Sengoku's eyes lit up brightly.

At such a moment of chaotic morale, the right move was to boost morale by killing enemies.

Sengoku urgently ordered men to raise the Sea Prism Stone walls at the port, trapping the Whitebeard Pirates inside and creating a situation of closing the gate to beat the dog.

Boom, boom, boom!

The magma meteors crashed into the Whitebeard Pirates, instantly sending the pirates into chaos.

Many pirate ships were destroyed outright.

One meteor even crashed toward Bai Huzi.

Bai Huzi raised his Supreme Grade Great Sword, Murakumogiri, struck the meteor, and chuckled lowly:

"Magma brat, with power like this, you should go light candles on a birthday cake!"

Speaking of which, there are now not twelve Supreme Grade Great Swords, but thirteen.

The newest addition to the list is the Enma currently held by Luo Xing.

When Luo Xing slew Barrett, his overwhelming Haki completely turned Enma into a Black Blade, elevating its rank from Great Sword to Supreme Grade Great Sword.

It now stands alongside Bai Huzi's Murakumogiri, the Pirate King Luo Jie's sword Ace, and Mihawk's Black Blade Yoru!

With Akainu and Bai Huzi taking action, the pace of the War of the Best accelerated compared to the original story.

At the same moment in the New World.

Another war, equal in scale and lineup to the one at the summit, also erupted.

The two opposing sides were—

Kaido and the Damalian Alliance of Four Emperors versus the Red Hair Pirates, equipped with a dual-Emperor configuration!

180. War of the Four Emperors: Kaido vs. Red Hair! Bai Huzi launches a full-scale assault!

In the New World, on a certain island within Bai Huzi's territory.

Three major Four Emperor fleets faced off here.

One side was the Kaido-Damalian Alliance; the other side had only Red Hair Shanks.

Kaido slung a spiked club over his shoulder and sneered:

"Red Hair brat, you really came to stop us, exactly as my son-in-law predicted!"

Across from him, Red Hair and Benn Beckman exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of shock in each other's eyes.

Their actions had been predicted by Kaido's son-in-law?!

Could that man truly possess the ability to foresee the future?

Even Benn Beckman, renowned for his wisdom, felt a sense of inferiority at this moment.

The two took a deep breath to keep themselves calm.

Red Hair replied in a deep voice:

"Kaido, since you know I will come to stop you, are you still unwilling to halt this invasion?"

"Oh ho ho ha ha!!"

Kaido, as if hearing the greatest joke in the world, let out a thunderous laugh.

"Red Hair brat, who do you think you are? When I ruled the seas, you were just a brat on Luo Jie's ship!"

In fact,

Red Hair was not as worthless as Kaido claimed.

Back then, Red Hair was indeed a brat, serving as an intern on Luo Jie's ship alongside Buggy.

But Kaido was also an intern on Rocks' ship.

Kaido was merely ten or so years older than Red Hair and was far stronger than him at that time.

But time passed and circumstances changed; decades went by,

Shanks became one of the Four Emperors of the Sea equal to him in name, and was even hailed as possessing the world's strongest Conqueror's Haki.

In truth, their strengths were hard to distinguish; at the very least, they would have to fight for several days and nights before a victor emerged.

In the original story, facing this situation, Kaido chose to retreat, unwilling to fight Shanks to the death.

But the current situation is completely different from the original story.

Thanks to Luo Xing's foreknowledge, Kaido Already formed an alliance with Big Mom.

This time, it wasn't just the Beasts Pirates who came; the Big Mom Pirates were here too, totaling tens of thousands of troops!

Especially the Gifters of the Beasts Pirates, each having consumed an Artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruit and a Kaido Cell, their auras were fierce like wild beasts.

Individually, these people might not be a match for any single member of Shanks' crew, but if hundreds or thousands surged forward at once, they could exhaust Shanks' crew to death!

After all,

Shanks' crew has only a mere dozen or so core members.

Even though it includes two Emperor-level powerhouses like Shanks and Benn Beckman, on the Beasts Pirates side, Kaido and Big Mom alone are enough to offset them.

Furthermore,

Plague Queen and Drought Jack have also arrived; both had already consumed Dragon-level Kaido Cells and could challenge Emperors.

If they use the Fusion Earrings to fuse, they can instantly become a powerful Emperor-level combatant!

Under such a disparity in strength, how could Shanks' crew possibly hold them back?

Logically speaking, Shanks should retreat.

After all, this is not his territory; he has no need to risk his life for Whitebeard.

But this time, Shanks is not fighting for Whitebeard, but for Fire Fist Ace, for Captain Roger's son.

Let this be Shanks repaying the debt of gratitude to Captain Roger.

Shanks drew the rapier from his waist, looked at Kaido, and said in a deep voice:

"If that is the case, then we have no choice but to play with you!"

A fierce Conqueror's Haki aura radiated from his body.

Crack~

A large tree was crushed and broken by his Conqueror's Haki, which can directly cause physical damage.

His Haki overflowed, truly worthy of the title of the strongest Conqueror's Haki!

But would such a level make Kaido, the Strongest Creature, feel afraid?

Kaido slammed the spiked club on his shoulder hard onto the ground, and the ground instantly trembled.

Kaido laughed heartily and said:

"Come on, brat Shanks! Let me see just how much mettle you, who inherited Roger's will, truly possess!"
