Chapter 554 - Red-Haired Shanks, Arrested
Judicial Island Enies Lobby.
The broken port area.
Madara led his wooden clones to charge at the entire Red Hair Pirates, and challenged this Yonko(Four Emperors) Pirate Group with his own strength!
“Just in time…”
Shanks held his sword forward proudly, ignoring the number of wooden clones and the powerful aura emitted by each of them!
They were just a bunch of clones that could not even withstand a single blow!
The Red Hair Pirates had once encountered a crowd of clones that Naruto had created. In that battle, the entire Red Hair Pirates had been beaten back by Naruto’s shadow clone army.
However, the Red Hair Pirates’ members learned about the weakness of the shadow clone because of that battle…
But the next moment…
Dozens of wooden clones used Susanoo at the same time!
This scene made the complexion of all the pirates suddenly change!
The ground collapsed in an instant, and a group of blue Susanoo flew up, waving the huge sword in its hand toward Shanks and Red Hair Pirates!
In an instant, this battlefield turned into ruins, and everyone was looking at a group of blue Susanoo brazenly killing the Red Hair Pirates!
Shanks’ expression was unsightly as he brandished his sword to meet Madara’s true body, and a hint of heaviness flashed in his eyes, “Another… one man army monster?”
One person…
Could directly transform into a powerful army!
The entire Red Hair Pirates instantly fell into a bitter battle. Usually, a single Susanoo would require these pirates to deal with it at the same time. These Susanoo were abnormally agile. They were obviously a group of giants, but they had the agility of a human!
“Don’t panic…”
Benn Beckman wrinkled his brows, dodged the slash of a huge sword, raised his flintlock, and shot out a pitch-black bullet. That bullet instantly penetrated Susanoo’s body!
The bullet directly hit the s.p.a.ce between the eyebrows of the wooden clone inside Susanoo’s body!
Then the huge Susanoo instantly disintegrated, and the wooden clone also turned into a piece of wood!
“Cover me!”
Yasopp quickly dodged Susanoo’s slash. At the moment when a group of pirates helped lead Susanoo away, he pulled out his musket, aimed at the wooden clone inside Susanoo’s body, and shot it!
A bullet covered with Haki pierced through the Susanoo, and also pierced through the wood clone protected by Susanoo!
However, this was all they could do…
A group of Susanoo quickly gathered together, brandished their swords, and chopped toward the Red Hair Pirates. The overwhelming shock wave instantly overturned the battlefield!
The Red Hair Pirates’ entire formation instantly collapsed!
Benn Beckman led the officer to meet the attack while commanding the pirates to withdraw to the lifeboat on the sea, “Don’t fight, the officer cover, the others retreat!”
The pirate finally returned to the sea and boarded the last lifeboat of the Red Force. However, a Susanoo suddenly smashed the pirates and the lifeboat directly!
Blood instantly dyed the sea red…
Madara wanted to cut off their path of retreat!
A wooden clone already makes the Red Hair Pirates somewhat unable to bear, even with Benn Beckman and Red Hair Pirates’ officers, they were still unable to defeat a wooden clone with Susanoo in a short period of time…
“Katon, Goka Mekkyaku(Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation)!”
One of the wooden clones stood within the Susanoo, opened its mouth, and spat out a flame toward the sea surface. The earth-shattering flames evaporated the sea water, and clouds of mist began to spread out…
All the lifeboats were hit by the flames without exception…
Even the marine warships that were originally docked were destroyed by the flames!
Even the pirates who were originally in the lifeboats responsible for the rescue could only take the members of the Straw Hat Pirates to hide in the sea in a hurry… Only when the flames dissipated that they slowly came out of the sea.
“Is this… trying to kill everyone?”
Nico Robin soaked in the sea said weakly and found a wooden plank to support her to float. Her eyebrows could not help but wrinkle.
“Now you have no way out!”
A slightly ferocious smile appeared on Madara’s face. His Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki) burst out with all his strength, “Then stay on this island and let me enjoy the long-lost pleasure!”
“As long as there is still a piece of wood…”
Shanks frowned as if he was fighting for his life. He ran close to Madara and stabbed his sword into Madara’s chest. His eyes were still determined, “No one can stop a man from stepping into the sea…”
“Is that so?”
Madara was not afraid. He dodged Shanks’ sword and kicked him in the chest, sending this Yonko(Four Emperors) flying!
Shanks’ figure under a set of steps, but in an instant, he got up again and slashed at Madara!
The two of them were in a fierce battle again!
On the other side.
There was no way for Red Hair Pirates to retreat.
This Yonko(Four Emperors) Pirate Group who were forced to return to the battlefield burst out with powerful strength. Under the leadership of Benn Beckman, they completely dealt with the wooden clones after a few hours of fierce battle!
Benn Beckman then said in a low voice, “Hey, go with several people and bring Luffy and others to the sh.o.r.e! The others rushed up with me, and together with our captain, captured the island!”
Benn Beckman took a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He then continued in a cold voice, “Since they don’t want us to go, then let’s put the flag of our Red Hair Pirates on this Judicial Island!”
“Yes!”
A group of pirates with b.l.o.o.d.y wounds agreed in unison. They licked the blood on the corners of their mouths and gathered around Benn Beckman!
It was easy to say…
However, it was extremely difficult to do so.
This war was even more troublesome than when they fought for the last position of Yonko(Four Emperors) among the big pirate group. Now they had to face the thousands of CP agents who were eyeing them covetously!
“Beckman, there’s a ship coming!”
Just at this time, the pirates on the sh.o.r.e suddenly pointed to the sea and shouted, “There is a pirate ship heading toward Enies Lobby!”
No one knew when, but a sheep’s head boat suddenly appeared on the sea.
This boat slowly swam toward Enies Lobby. On the sail of the boat was the Straw Hat Pirates flag which was shaking with the sea breeze…
The Going Merry.
The ship of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Although this ship was very small, it became the only ship on the Enies Lobby sea. As long as they could ride this ship and stop the enemy from chasing them, even the CP agents would not be able to chase them!
The only problem was…
The Going Merry was too small. It can’t hold too many people. Even if there were only two or three hundred pirates left, it was impossible for all of them to board the ship…
Benn Beckman immediately made a decision and shouted, “Yasopp, Lucky Roux, you two bring your team and Luffy to the boat together… The others will come with me, stay and prepare to help Shanks!”
“There is no need!”
A bright smile appeared on Yasopp’s lips. He played with his musket and said with a smile, “Hey, Beckman, I already have a son. Let me take care of Shanks!”
Before Benn Beckman had any objections, Yasopp reached out and stopped him from saying what he wanted to say. He then explained softly, “Don’t say silly things, and I’m not doing it for you, but for those young guys like Usopp and Luffy…”
Yasopp raised his head and looked at the sea. The smile on his face was a little nostalgic, “Ever since Usopp was born, I haven’t done anything to my son yet…”
For so many years, the time that Yasopp and Usopp spent together was actually not as long as the two of them spent time with Luffy together…
In Yasopp’s line of sight…
The Going Merry stopped on the sea, and the people of the Straw Hat Pirates and Red Hair Pirates boarded the ship. There was Usopp, who was still in a coma…
Perhaps this was the last time the father and son would meet?
“Hey, Beckman.”
Lucky Roux looked at Benn Beckman and grinned, “I’ll stay behind to help the boss! If I’m locked up in Impel Down Prison or a place like Enies Lobby, don’t forget to find an opportunity to save me!”
“Ah!”
Yasopp took his musket and knocked on the head of Raj Road. He laughed and said, “Have some confidence in our boss! We are just staying here to wait for Shanks!”
“…”
Benn Beckman fell into silence.
A moment later, the vice-captain of Red Hair Pirates slowly lit up the cigarette in his hand and whispered, “All those who want to stay then stay, if you won’t then follow with me…”
The Red Hair Pirates really doesn’t have any hypocritical pirates…
Perhaps they had already guessed that one day the entire pirate group would fall into a difficult situation, and the pirates divided themselves into two camps in an orderly manner.
One camp has fewer people, and these pirates were obviously younger. Even the injuries on their bodies were very light, and their physical strength was preserved well. The other camp was slightly older, and most of them were covered in wounds…
The older pirates patted the shoulder of the young pirates and told them to leave with Benn Beckman. The young pirates also responded with a smile…
Until the moment of separation, they were still smiling.
Except for Benn Beckman, almost all the pirates in Red Hair Pirates were smiling, whether they wanted to leave or stay…
They clearly knew…
If they stayed, it would be more dangerous.
Benn Beckman brought his men to board the Going Merry. He turned to look at Shanks, who was still fighting with Madara. He then grabbed Yasopp’s shoulder and whispered, “Wait for me to pick you up… I will be back soon!”
“Beckman?”
A trace of doubt flashed across Yasopp’s face.
“How can a pirate abandon his captain…”
Beckman shook his head and slowly released Yasopp’s shoulder. After that, he rode the Going Merry and left Enies Lobby with Red Hair Pirates’ remnants and Straw Hat Pirates.
The CP agents who originally wanted to chase after the Going Merry was stopped by Yasopp and others. They could only watch as the Going Merry gradually disappeared.
An hour later.
Not long after the Going Merry left, the headquarters’ Three Admirals arrived at Enies Lobby. After three days and three nights of fierce battle, they finally captured the remaining pirates on Enies Lobby’s side.
One of them was the Yonko(Four Emperors) Red-Haired Shanks.
