"Okay, wait a moment, sit here."
Maybe he was worried that Noah would be scared away by Shanks, so he said this specifically.
"Mr. Shanks is a good man, you don't have to worry about the guest. And you are so lucky, there is only one bottle of wine left here."
Then he turned back to the bar to get a drink.
Shanks then looked up and glanced at the visitor. Hmm? He looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. But why was he looking at the kid with such a strange look?
Noah was really observing the kid at this time. The black hair, the scar under the eye socket, the kid who looked a little silly for no reason, this was Luffy.
It seems that this is the period before he eats the fruit. Interesting, if Luffy doesn't eat the fruit in the end, will the One Piece world end directly? Or will Red Hair find the will of the next D and pass on freedom?
"Hey, Beckman, this guy looks familiar. Have we seen him somewhere before?"
The red-haired man looked more and more familiar, so he asked his most reliable mate. Because he was not bragging, the guy he remembered or found familiar should not appear on this island.
Ben Beckman looked at his stupid captain calmly. He didn't even take such a dangerous person seriously?
"I've seen him in the newspaper. He's from the Revolutionary Army. He's the enemy of the world, Noah. He's worth 50 billion Baileys."
"Oh~, interesting, I wonder how this person got here?"
As he spoke, the red-haired man pressed down the straw hat on his head, and became a little alert. He was just careless, not really stupid. An extremely dangerous person came to the tavern in Windmill Village, and he thought of the thing he had snatched from CP9 some time ago. It seems that he is not a good person.
The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became tense. Ever since Beckman revealed Noah's identity, the crew of the Red Hair Pirates had been ready for a fight.
Every fighter in the tavern had red light in his eyes, which was a sign of the full activation of his Observation Haki. As a result, there was no one around who was capable of fighting. This was not right. According to internal information, the Revolutionary Army's Deng Huo was an extremely cunning young man who had no martial ethics.
If you can fight in a group, you will never fight alone. If you can use strategy, you will not rush blindly. The navy's Sakaski fell to him twice. Some details of the battle were disclosed and spread all over the sea. Those who are unhappy with the Revolutionary Army and Akainu will all share this information.
This changed Noah's reputation on the sea from a madman to a scheming madman.
Ben Beckman's Observation Haki didn't sense anything either, which made him even more alert. Although his impression of Noah was not as good as the gossip, it was not very good either. This was because the Revolutionary Army itself represented huge troubles and reckless madness.
"Here is your wine, sir."
Makino, who didn't understand the atmosphere, calmly served Noah a bottle of wine and a warm smile, perhaps trying to prevent Noah from being scared by the other guests in the tavern.
"Thank you. I'm a new traveler here. I didn't buy a newspaper on the way. Do you have any here?"
"Yes, I'll get you one right away."
After that, Noah really took the newspaper and started reading.
This... The red-haired crew is all ready to start the film, but you are reading the newspaper?
As the most prestigious man, how could Red Hair let others ignore him? He avoided Luffy's entanglement and walked over leisurely and sat down.
"Brother, you look familiar, what's your name?"
Chapter 129 Headshot Four Emperors
"Noah, from O'Hara."
"What is O'Hara?"
This question was not asked by Red Hair, how could he not know O'Hara, so it was Luffy who asked it. Luffy crawled over from the ground and showed his little head. Makino behind the bar also pricked up his ears. The biggest advantage of running a tavern is that you can hear some interesting things.
O'Hara? Makino thought about it and thought it didn't sound like a place name in the East China Sea.
Time is so ruthless. The destruction of O'Hara by the Demon Killing Order caused a sensation in the world, but not many people still remember it now.
Shanks was also helpless about Luffy's approach. No child of his age would be obedient, and of course Luffy would not be obedient in the future. He would maintain the peak of wisdom from now until he became the Pirate King.
The Revolutionary Army has a good reputation among civilians, and the purpose of their actions is not concealed at all, which is to help ordinary people live a good life. So in Red Hair's view, Luffy and Makino are still very safe.
"O'Hara, a place full of knowledge. There is a tree of all-knowing, very big and magnificent."
After thinking about it, I guess Luffy didn't understand this sentence, so I added another sentence.
“It’s a place with lots of books.”
"Oh, I don't like it."
Children are so direct. Just one word, "I don't like it", made Red Hair break out in a cold sweat. How could they say bad things about someone's hometown in front of others? Why is this naughty child so fond of seeking his own death? Who taught him to do that?
"Hahaha, kids are ignorant and talk nonsense. Mr. Noah, what are you doing in Windmill Village? Are you here to see me?"
The red-haired man quickly changed the subject, thinking he was smart, and asked the question directly.
"Captain! How are you better than Luffy? You hit me in the face!"
The capable officers of the Red Hair Pirate Ship in the tavern felt a little ashamed, thinking that their captain was only slightly better than a child.
"Nothing, I just came to see you. I just had a breakthrough some time ago and wanted to find an expert to test my sword. I heard you were here, how about it?"
Some time ago, in the East China Sea, there was a sword energy rising into the sky, it was you!
The red-haired man's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Finally, he could have a good fight. He had been in the East China Sea for a year, and had not had a decent opponent. He did not expect that the opponent he was very interested in before would come on his own. Hahahaha.
The corners of my mouth slowly opened. Beckman had stopped me before. Look, this is the mutual respect between masters. My left hand grasped Griffin's hilt unconsciously.
"This gentleman, and Mr. Shanks, fighting is wrong, especially when there are children present."
Makino turned into a ruthless guardian and stopped the two violent young men from fighting. Makino thought they were just gossiping, but it turned out to be a fight. She didn't like men who loved fighting.
Especially after hearing the fight announcement, little Luffy was so excited that he started punching on the spot. What irresponsible guys they are.
The redhead, who was easily suppressed by the gentle young lady, gave Noah a look in private, saying that they would meet again later. It was really...freedom.
Noah did not leave that day, but found a hotel and stayed overnight. There was no urgent matter for the time being, so he could wait for Red Hair to finish his business before fighting, and he could observe Luffy's current situation more.
Noah rested, but Ben Beckman didn't. Back on the Red Force, he looked up the recent news and the information he had collected before. After carefully analyzing why Noah came to Windmill Village, he didn't believe that it was just for a fight. This was normal for Hawkeye.
Hmm? It seems that the Celestial Dragons will go to the Kingdom of Goa for fun! Beckman took a breath of cold air. So that's it. He came here half a year in advance to check the place out. He is so meticulous. This guy is so terrifying.
Looking at the major events since Noah debuted, each time he did things with a purpose, this matter was definitely not simple. Unfortunately, no matter how hard Ben Beckman thought, he could not imagine that Noah really came here to fight with Red Hair and to be a witness.
The matter of the Celestial Dragons was not to the extent of scouting the area six months in advance, and he was not a detail-obsessed person. Not to mention that Beckman had not slept all night, analyzing various materials, and solemnly warning the crew.
The next day, Noah came to the tavern again and grabbed the last bottle of wine. This made Shanks very unhappy. How could he grab the last bottle every time? And did he do it with his Observation Haki?
That's right, he used his Observation Haki to rob it. The red-haired guys really don't know how to count when they drink, and they stop when they finish. This is also a helpless choice. You can't go to the tavern and drink juice or milk like Luffy, otherwise the reputation of the Revolution Light will go in the direction of perversion.
bang
The door of the tavern was pushed open again. The business of Makino Tavern was also very good today.
However, this visitor doesn't seem like a good person at all.
A gangster-like guy walked in, followed by a few younger brothers. Black hair, a mustache, and a gloomy face. Is this the legendary figure known as the Bandit King?
Is it such a coincidence?
The story is developing normally...
"What? There's no more wine! These guys drank it all!"
Noah reduced his presence to a minimum and watched the show quietly on the side.
Sure enough, Shanks generously shared the wine in his hand with Sig. Just kidding, Sig, the bandit king with a bounty of 800 million berries, can't be dealt with with just a bottle of wine. The famous scene is about to happen! Noah stared at that place intently.
boom!
The bandit king Sig smashed the Four Emperors' head with a wine bottle. His fighting power was unparalleled in the world. After mocking everyone present, he left the tavern with a domineering back.
The innocent child was so angry that he quickly asked Shanks why he didn't fight back.
Faced with Luffy's questioning, the members of the Red Hair Pirates laughed together, which made the kid very angry. This was not the pirate he imagined, and he wanted to avenge Shanks.
Noah actually didn't understand the reason for laughing so hard. Was he showing off his generosity or was he just finding it funny? After thinking for a while, if the bandit king Sig wanted to hit him, he would probably punch him and beat him to the ground.
Later, during the struggle, Luffy showed his ability of the Rubber Fruit, which surprised Shanks. Can this fruit of freedom also be eaten by people?
"The freest fruit, eaten by someone, D's will, straw hat, rubber fruit. Red hair, have you thought about it?"
Noah, who was standing aside, said this lightly.
The red-haired girl immediately looked at Noah with a serious look when he said this.
"I think, Noah, we need to talk."
Chapter 130: The Battle of Swords
Another deserted island.
Noah and the redhead stood opposite each other.
The red-haired man thought he should say hello first, so Noah should get ready.
boom!
The domineering color, the domineering power of Red Hair Shanks, one of the future Four Emperors, and the oppressive feeling of the most domineering man made Noah feel excited. He started with the domineering color, and I also like it!
boom!
Noah's Dominant Haki also appeared, and an illusory figure, rich red, descended upon the world again. The clash between the two Dominant Haki was a scene that could only be seen on top battlefields in the New World.
Oh~ This strange Conqueror Haki sight opened Shanks' eyes. It turns out that Conqueror Haki has such a way to play. Really, so exciting! The strength is raised to another level.
Dark red lightning appeared at the junction of the domineering confrontation, bursts of roars were heard in the void, and the dark clouds in the sky were divided into two camps by the domineering colors of the two people, rushing and sweeping against each other in the sky.
The rocks around the two people have been crushed into pieces, the ground has cracked, and the torrents formed by the strong winds are raging on the island. Even the forest closest to them has been crushed. This is the highest level of domineering color battle.
As the confrontation gradually escalated, the scope became larger and larger, and with the rolling dark clouds and lightning in the sky, it looked like a natural disaster.
In the distance, the people on the Red Force were looking at the strange scene on the island and were secretly surprised. This was the first time they saw a domineering aura that was comparable to that of the captain.
"No, in terms of domineering Haki, Noah is stronger!" The cold first officer expressed his judgment.
"This, how is this possible!" The crew members were severely shocked.
"Nothing is impossible. If Shanks has the upper hand, he will take the initiative to withdraw his Haki, so that it will not affect the subsequent kendo competition. But now Shanks is still continuously releasing the Conqueror's Haki, which can only mean that the opponent's Haki is extremely strong!"
"That doesn't mean the captain lost."
"Look at the sky. The dark clouds are moving in the direction of Shanks. The captain is also a human being. In a duel between great swordsmen, swordsmanship is ultimately what counts. The first move doesn't mean anything."
Having said that, but seeing Noah's incredible Domineering Haki, Beckman silently made a note in his heart: Domineering Haki is different from that of ordinary people, and its strength is abnormally high. He can try to contain him from a super long distance to create a chance to kill in the future.
Although Shanks would not adopt this suggestion, he still had to have a contingency plan. He is truly a worried first officer.
On the battlefield, after Shanks realized that his Conqueror Haki was slightly inferior to Noah's, his fighting spirit was completely ignited. This is the feeling that comes from the pressure from the opponent!
The two looked at each other in tacit understanding, and retracted their Conqueror Haki at the same time. At this time, the entire island was in ruins, with trees flying everywhere.
The sound of two swords being unsheathed echoed across the island. The atmosphere was far more dangerous than before.
The two of them slowly walked towards each other, faster and faster, then jogging, and then speeding up again, and finally running rapidly.
"Noah, don't die!"
"You too."
The two men jumped up at the same time. Griffin slashed down fiercely with a resolute armed color, while Noah transformed the Wado Ichimonji into plain moonlight, showing a halo-like trajectory, and steadily took the sword.
Ding!
The sound of the two swords clashing spread across the island and to the far reaches of the sea. A force twelve gale once again erupted from the point where the swords collided, sweeping across the island in an instant. This time, the plants on the island suffered a devastating disaster and were uprooted. Waves also rose on the sea surface in the distance, sweeping towards the depths of the sea in a circular shape.
The two sides in the battle did not care about this influence and remained in a stalemate. This sword, can not retreat! The two sides looked at the unyielding fighting spirit in each other's pupils, and could not help but use more strength again, pressing the opponent with the sword.
Afterwards, the intersection of the forces could not withstand such an impact. After continuing to exert huge energy, it exploded directly, pushing away the two guys who were unwilling to take a step back.
A strong shock wave spread out from the center, shattering the earth into pieces.
The two people who were temporarily pushed back by the shock wave once again swung their weapons at each other. This time it was a duel between swordsmanship. The basic sword style was transformed into magic in the hands of the two great swordsmen, showing a power that ordinary people could not imagine. The speed of the sword became faster and faster. After that, they fought with their respective top-level observation Haki and the intuition of swordsmen.
Observation Haki can be deceived by moves, and sometimes intuition can be exploited, so experience can help. In terms of experience, Shanks is far stronger than Noah, so on the second day, Noah slowly fell into a disadvantage.
Ben Beckman in the distant sea once again smashed the waves with one punch. I didn't expect that it could still be affected from such a distance. The two on the island are indeed strong men standing on the top of the sea. Shanks has always been very strong, but I didn't expect that the one from the Revolutionary Army is also very strong. In the intelligence, there has never been a record of Noah having such strength.
Either he has been hiding, or he is making rapid progress. Judging from next year, the latter is more likely. What a scary person.
The red-haired man on the island was not only excited, but also a little surprised. On the second day, he had used his rich experience in fighting to suppress his opponent, but his opponent's learning ability was terrifying, and he made up for his weaknesses in just one day.
He only makes the same mistake once, and even has some fantastic tricks to reverse the situation. The more intense the battle, the greater the improvement of the opponent. What a genius.
Since he officially set sail, he was known as a genius. He lived up to the reputation and grew up at a very fast speed. From an apprentice crew member on the Pirate King's ship, he became the top pirate with the best chance of becoming the overlord of the sea.
