Chapter 298 The conflict ends
Seeing this scene, Zefa knew that it would be difficult to achieve his goal today. It was not that the students' lives were in the hands of pirates and were threatened and he could not take action.
But the red-haired crew member did not kill the trainees, and even ignored those who fainted on the ground, which made Zefa owe him a big favor.
Even if he were asked to kill Shanks now, it would be difficult for him to do so. Moreover, Shanks' current strength is not weak and it will take time to defeat him.
"Forget it! Even if he grows up, so what? There have always been guys like him on the sea. With the nature of this red-haired kid, it should be a blessing for the civilians of the New World in the future. At least he is much stronger than Charlotte Linlin!"
Zephyr sighed in his heart and walked away from the battlefield. After returning to the foot of Upside-Down Mountain, he grabbed the unconscious student and threw him onto the boat. Shanks' crew members all returned behind Beckman and did not try to stop him.
Beckman reached out and took the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep breath, then threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke.
He breathed a sigh of relief. If he had met a general who didn't care about the lives of his subordinates, the outcome of the battle would not have ended like this. There might have been a lot of casualties on both sides.
"Sail!" said Zefa to the people on standby on the ship. These people were professionals arranged on the ship, specially prepared for sailing and would not participate in the battle. They were all awakened by Zefa.
At this time, Red Hair also returned to his companions, and they all stood on the shore watching the warship launch.
Shanks also gained a lot this time. He knew what level he was at at sea.
Moreover, he knows where the road ahead lies. He grew up on the ship of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger. He knows exactly what is waiting for him ahead. He is going back to the New World now to hone himself!
"Red-haired boy! Remember what you said. I don't want you to become a person who will do anything to achieve your goals!" Zephyr stood at the bow of the ship, looked at Shanks and said a parting word.
Shanks didn't reply, holding the sheathed Griffin in his hand, and his expression didn't even change. No one knew what he was thinking.
Beckman and others stood on Shanks' left and right, watching the warship slowly moving away. After Zefa finished speaking, he stared at Shanks deeply, then turned his head and ignored him.
He had not thought about what to do with the Red Hair Pirates at first. It would be difficult to achieve anything with so many trainee recruits. Many times, these recruits would become a burden or even hostages in the hands of the enemy.
He brought Shanks here because he understood his personality and ways of dealing with people. One reason was to let these students see the pirates in the New World. Don't be careless just because they didn't encounter any opponents in the first half.
The second is that he still has to obey the orders of the Admiral, but the result will depend on the situation on the spot.
His decision to kill Shanks was a temporary one after he met Shanks in person. However, he couldn't kill Shanks in a short time now because Shanks had grown up.
In the end, all the students fell to the ground, which was the last straw that dispelled his desire to kill. The final result was also very different from what it was before he came here.
However, the situation that Vic was worried about did not happen. Shanks' strength also improved a lot during this period. After all, he was one of the youngest four emperors ten years later, and his talent was absolutely top-notch.
Seeing Zefa stop, Rebecca also breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Zefa would not give up and Vic would still have an obsession in his heart. Now this result is a happy ending for everyone.
Rebecca held the two little girls in her arms and flew to Shanks using the Moon Step, then handed Uta over to her.
"Your domineering style is not good enough! You don't even let your own people go!"
Rebecca teased Shanks and said that Vic had told her that the Conqueror's Haki can be precisely controlled to a certain extent, instead of causing indiscriminate damage.
"Sorry! I was a little out of control with my emotions just now, which led to the release of Conqueror's Haki!" Shanks took over Uta and said apologetically. He had already been able to accurately control the Conqueror's Haki, and now all he needed to do was learn the Conqueror's Haki entanglement.
"You're lucky this time! If Vic had come, you would have to go to Impel Down. Vic is stronger than you now!"
Rebecca smiled and made a joke, but what she said was true. She drew the conclusion from the comparison between the two and Zefa's fights.
"Oh! Is Vic so strong now? I'm really looking forward to meeting him again!"
Shanks did not refute, he knew Rebecca would not speak without a purpose. He was surprised at Vic's growth during this period. You know, the last time Vic fought him, his domineering was not as good as his. But he surpassed him in such a short time. He was also surprised by this talent.
"Haha, Vic said the same thing as you, he's also looking forward to seeing you again! Let's go!"
Rebecca recalled the regretful expression on Vic's face when he couldn't come to stop Shanks. After saying this, Rebecca stepped on the moon step and chased after the warship.
While they were talking, the warship had already gone far away, and Zefa was not at all worried that Rebecca would not be able to return.
"Tell Vic that I'm waiting for him in the New World!"
Shanks shouted at Rebecca's flying back and a smile appeared on his face. Rebecca didn't look back, but stretched out her free hand and waved.
"Boss! Is this little girl bragging? The last time you fought with Vic was only half a year ago. We have seen your growth. Why would Vic, a trainee recruit, be so arrogant?"
Lakilu swallowed the meat in his mouth and said unconvincedly that he was also present at the last battle between Vic and Shanks.
"Fighting is the fastest way to increase your combat power. Vic has fought Kaido before. If he wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't have survived.
Moreover, this little girl is now quite strong. Except for not awakening her Armament Haki, everything else is excellent. This is also the growth she has achieved in the past six months.
This also shows some of Vic's strength. Rebecca doesn't need to exaggerate on this matter. We are going to set off back to the New World and regain our position. The next step is the outbreak of our strength!"
After analyzing the situation, Shanks replied seriously that he had fought Rebecca before and he could tell where Rebecca's foundation was as soon as they fought.
The difference in this fight is too great, and he can feel that Rebecca did not use her full strength, and her armament color also showed signs of awakening. It has only been a short time, and her growth is really amazing. It makes sense that Vic's growth is even faster.
Shanks did not leave immediately, but had a drink and a party with Crocus before leaving Twin Capes. During this time, Uta woke up and looked everywhere for Ein and the red-haired sister, but she was destined not to find them now.
Rebecca brought the unconscious Ian back to the warship, glanced at Barnett and Fredek in the crowd, said hello to Zefa, then sent Ian back to the dormitory. After she put Ian on her bed, she returned to the deck.
