Chapter 253: The Four Emperors in Action

New World, Moby Dick.

"Shanks? Gurararara, what a nostalgic name. Is this a handwritten letter from Shanks?"

"Yes. The content seems very important, which is why he instructed me to deliver it no matter what."

The speaker had a red afro, a red neckerchief tied around his shirt, and a long sword at his waist. He was a new recruit to the Red Hair Pirates, Rockstar, with a bounty of 94 million Berries.

With such a bounty, he could be considered a small fry, yet on the Red Hair's ship, such a person was merely a courier.

It’s no wonder it’s a Four Emperors pirate crew! Their appeal to pirates is extraordinary.

With this kind of strength, wouldn't it be better to be an overlord in the East Blue?

Whitebeard said calmly, "Is that so? Then you’ve worked hard."

"Not at all, not at all. I’m a newcomer to the Red Hair Pirates; this is what I should do." Rockstar scratched his head.

"However..."

"I used to do this kind of work, and I was even somewhat famous. Hey, I’m asking you, you must have heard of Rockstar, right?"

The few lackeys asked shook their heads: "No, never even heard of you."

This attitude immediately made Rockstar feel looked down upon. Just as he was about to flare up, Whitebeard ripped Shanks's handwritten letter into shreds with a *tear*.

"Hey! What are you doing!!!"

"To think he’d send someone to deliver a letter to me. Since when did that brat get so arrogant?" Whitebeard scattered the fragments into the sky, where they fell all over the ground.

"Wait a minute! Our boss said this was an important letter! My boss is Red-Haired Shanks! Have you lost your mind?"

Whitebeard said disdainfully, "I am Whitebeard." He then began to drink heavily, even though he was wrapped in bandages and hooked up to an IV drip.

The blonde nurse beside Whitebeard quickly reminded him, "Captain, you cannot drink alcohol in your current condition!"

"Who says? Drink today, be drunk today. This little bit of alcohol won't ruin my body."

Rockstar shouted at Whitebeard, unwilling to give up: "Our boss said there is an urgent matter in that letter! He told you that you must read it!"

In truth, Whitebeard could roughly guess the content. After all, he wasn't a brute; it was nothing more than the matter of Ace and Tiqi.

"Go tell Red Hair that if he has something to discuss with me, he should bring a jug of good wine and come see me in person!"

"If you’ve heard me, get back! I don’t want to talk to a brat who’s still wiping his nose; it’s a waste of my energy."

After leaving the Moby Dick, Rockstar immediately called Shanks.

"Ahahaha, that old guy really hasn't changed at all!"

"This isn't a laughing matter, Boss!"

"I knew it would be Move Move Like this long ago. Forget it, it doesn't matter."

"Boss, please give me a little more time. This is the first time in my life I’ve suffered such a humiliating insult."

Shanks was speechless. What, do you want to go and kill Whitebeard?

"Hey, hey, what are you trying to do? Don't do anything reckless. You’ve worked hard, come back immediately now!"

"Bu-but if I do that, where will I put my face?"

Shanks naturally knew the importance of face, but Whitebeard’s face was much bigger than yours.

"Is face more important, or is your life more important? This isn't a problem you can solve right now. No need to say more, come back quickly, don't create extra trouble!"

After hanging up the phone, Lucky Roux, who was eating meat, asked, "What should we do now?"

"Prepare to set sail!"

"To Whitebeard's place?"

"Yes, that's right."

Beckman rubbed his chin: "However, if we take action, the World Government won't just stand by and watch. If things go wrong, it might draw that guy Karl over, and then we'll be in trouble!"

"The situation is very complicated now, I can't worry about that much anymore. If Karl comes to intervene, then I'll fight him! In any case, I won't just sit here and be captured."

Sky Island, Daughter Island.

"Phew, finally back! Darling, are you going back to Marine Headquarters now?"

Karl shook his head: "I was originally going to go clean up those Supernova pirates, but Fleet Admiral Sengoku suddenly told me to stand by. Sigh, it doesn't matter."

In truth, it was because of the Red Hair Pirates. After the Seven Warlords meeting ended, Sengoku said he received news that the Red Hair Pirates had already sent someone to contact the Whitebeard Pirates, which naturally drew the attention of the World Government.

"That's great, then you can stay here and keep me company for a while. It just so happens that the stock of Holy Light Shells and Holy Healing Shells is running low. If you have time, you can make some more, otherwise the Revolutionary Army keeps urging us."

"Eh, I remember the stock of Light Shells was already used up! How come, are there more Light Shells?"

"Mm, Gan Fall said the next batch of Light Shells will mature soon, and they will be sent to the warehouse one after another in the next few days."

"I thought so. Alright, I'll go take a look in a few days. By the way, there's something I need to tell you."

Estimating the time, the Straw Hat crew should be arriving at the Sky Island soon, though their trip to the Sky Island might not be as exciting this time, since the biggest boss of the Sky Island had already been replaced.

Blue Sea, Jaya Island.

The Straw Hat crew had experienced a lot here. First, they were mocked and beaten by Bellamy's crew in Mock Town, then they stood up for the chestnut-headed uncle, encountered Tiqi by chance, modified the Going Merry...

Having experienced so much, they were finally able to set off for the Sky Island.

"Everyone! Let's go!"

"Yeah!" "Understood, Nami!"

Retracting the anchor and hoisting the sails, the chicken-headed Going Merry moved forward slowly.

The chestnut-headed man waved at the Straw Hat crew on the Going Merry: "Little brothers, let's say goodbye here!"

Luffy shouted: "Yeah! Got it!"

"The Sky Island and the Golden Bell do indeed exist. The Shandians in the forest can prove this; it's just that those people in Mock Town don't believe it."

"But no matter what, I sincerely hope you can find the legendary Sky Island and find the Golden Bell!"

In the nearby sea, a ship pieced together from several huge logs was sailing on the ocean. The pirate flag consisted of three skulls; this was Tiqi's Blackbeard Pirates.
