Nautical Highlights: Showcasing Battles Between Emperors and Shoguns

Page 36

After saying this, the bandit left with his men.

Arrogant and domineering!

After seeing this scene.

Shanks' men were still laughing loudly here!

"Hahaha, boss, how did you end up in such a mess?"

At this point, Shanks didn't even take it seriously and laughed along with them!

……

In the chat group, everyone was discussing it in shock.

Eustass Kid: Shanks actually let the bandits go in the end, huh? What a coward... wait, wait! It's that the bandits let Shanks go, right?

Charlotte Katakuri: Besides, those bandits are already gone, and they don't seem like the ones who cut off Shanks' arm...

Basil Hawkins: It looks like there are a lot more big things to come!

Trafalgar D. Law: Shanks must have had his own purpose in coming to this small place back then, right? Could it be related to this mysterious mountain bandit king?

[Kaido: In this tiny windmill village, is there a treasure comparable to One Piece, the ultimate treasure of Laugh Tale?]

[Bucky: Wow!! Really?]

[Jin: Speaking of which, we've always heard of the Pirate King, but we've never heard of a Mountain Bandit King.]

[Jack: We've been sailing at sea all this time, and we don't seem to know much about things on land. Could there really be another powerful system?]

Charlotte Smoothie: Are there even more terrifying bandits we know nothing about? Could their bandit king rival our Pirate King, Roger?

Because they couldn't understand Shanks' actions at this moment.

Therefore, everyone kept imagining what this bandit, Sig, was like.

They even imagined this small windmill village as a gathering place for top bigwigs!

It has a secret it can't be told...

Otherwise, there's no way to explain all of this!

[Quinn: There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding! It seems we really can't underestimate seemingly weak people like Bucky.]

[Buggy: Hey, hey, hey, who says you can compare anyone to me, one of the Four Emperors?]

Charlotte Katakuri: Buggy, don't be so arrogant! There are always people stronger than you. Don't be so narrow-minded. Maybe this guy is a bandit king, even more powerful than you, one of the Four Emperors!

[Kuzan: Speaking of which, Buggy, you, one of the Four Emperors, have been hiding so well, staying in the small East Blue. You must have your own purpose, right? Are you thinking the same thing as this mountain bandit king?]

[Sakazuki: Is everyone here just here to steal the treasure? Hmph, the Joker is a master of feigning ignorance!]

Bucky: Hmm...you guys are right...

Borsalino: The small East Blue is truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers dwell! First there was the Pirate King and the Marine Hero, then Buggy and Luffy, and now there's a mysterious mountain bandit king—how terrifying!

[Kaido: This really intrigues me. I'll also make a trip to the East Blue and see what I can gain from it.]

Monkey D. Luffy: ...

Shanks: ...

Chapter 43 The Terrifying Mountain Bandit King! An Even More Terrifying Coastal King!?

The video continues playing!

Shanks and his crew were unfazed by the insults hurled at them by the bandit Sig.

Only Luffy, at this moment, angrily shouted:

"Hey, Shanks! Why don't you beat him up?"

However, Shanks calmly stated:

"It's just a little bit of wine spilled on me, what's there to be angry about?"

But Luffy was still furious and didn't want to see his respected Shanks humiliated like this, so he wanted to settle the score with the bandit!

Shanks said helplessly:

"Hey Luffy, let's really forget about it!"

Shanks grabbed Luffy's arm, but Luffy kept walking forward.

His hands seemed limitless, able to stretch endlessly.

Shanks and the others were in disbelief upon seeing this scene!

"Hey, Luffy, what's going on with you?"

"How can your body be stretched out like that! Oh no! This is terrible..."

The others immediately opened a box and found that the fruit inside was gone!

"Oh no, the Gum-Gum Fruit really disappeared! Did you eat it, Luffy?"

They showed Luffy a picture of a Devil Fruit and asked if he had eaten it.

Luffy could only scratch his head, looking embarrassed.

"Yes, I ate it, and it was indeed a bit unpalatable."

The Red-Haired Pirates' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately said regretfully.

"Oh no! That means you won't be able to go swimming anymore..."

"If you eat this, you will be completely cursed by the sea and will never be able to touch seawater again."

Luffy:"???"

Hearing this, Luffy was even more devastated, thinking that his pirate dream was about to be shattered.

Finished!

Can I still become a pirate?

After that, he began to familiarize himself with the process of becoming a rubber man.

Soon after.

The red-haired people have all left the windmill village of the inner skirt and set off on another long voyage.

Seeing that Shanks wasn't there, Luffy felt very lonely and waited listlessly for Shanks to return in the tavern.

Just before this day, the bandits who came to cause trouble returned to this place.

As soon as I arrived at this place.

Luffy immediately got angry and started arguing with him.

However, Luffy, still a child, was no match for the bandit Higuma.

They were quickly tied up.

Moreover, the bandit found Luffy to be very fun.

It turned out to be a rubber man.

They wanted to sell him to a circus!

……

Upon seeing this scene, everyone was once again filled with astonishment.

[Donquixote Doflamingo: Fufufufufufu, I never expected this terrifying mountain bandit king to first silence Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, and then subdue yet another!]

Gol D. Roger: This...

[Jin: Although Luffy still looks like a child at this point, his strength should be quite impressive, right?]

Charlotte Linlin: Yes! When I was five years old, I could easily destroy a Titan.

[Shaco Crocodile: Speaking of which, why is this bandit back here? Is he still looking for Shanks to settle scores with?]

[Sengoku: Could it be that because he couldn't find an opportunity to get Shanks to make a move last time, he's still unwilling to let them go?]

Charlotte Linlin: I wonder if this bandit is truly fearless, or if he inherently possesses great strength and is trying to force Shanks to make a move for some ulterior motive?

[Sakazuki: Yes! Shanks must have some purpose in coming to this place. I need to send the Navy here immediately to check and search for any trace of this bandit. And an Admiral needs to be involved.]

Ben Beckman: ...

Shanks: ...

……

Suddenly, the scene in the video changed.

Luffy was taken to a sea area by the bandit king!

The bandit king threw him straight into the sea!

"You're no longer of any use to me. Hahahaha!!"

However, just as the bandit king was laughing wildly, a large sea monster suddenly appeared behind him!

His eyes were bloodshot!

Prepare to devour whoever is chosen!

The bandit king sensed something instantly, turned around, and saw the terrifying sea monster.

"What?! It's actually the King of the Coastal Seas?!"

The bandit Sig was so terrified that he had no courage to fight it and only wanted to flee in panic!

However, the King of the Near Seas gave the bandit Sig no chance and opened his gaping maw!

Click! !

Then he swallowed it whole.

Like a prehistoric beast, it was simply impossible to resist!

Moreover, after dealing with the bandit king, the sea monster was still unwilling to let Luffy go, and began to watch Luffy with predatory eyes, gradually approaching.

They probably intend to swallow him whole.
