Chapter 379: The Fall of the Red Hair Pirates
Shanks' head banged against the rocks several times, leaving three long stone cracks on the deck. Only then did Shadow stop, grab his neck and lift him up high.
"Once the Haki is cultivated to a very strong level, you will immediately sense when a strong person approaches." Shanks said to the humanoid shadow in front of him with an incredible look on his face, blood flowing down his left cheek.
"Why can't I detect you, Senior Arthur?"
Finally, under his shocked and surprised gaze, the other four shadows that had just besieged him merged into the shadow that was pinching him.
The shadows overlapped, gradually returning to Arthur's distinctive appearance, wearing light cloth and holding a black knife.
Shanks felt the endless murderous intent on that cold face, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Arthur looked at Shanks in his hand and saw that he seemed to be fine. He said to him:
"The reason is, I'm better than you, kid."
This is an obvious fact that Shanks is not surprised at all.
The next second, he felt dizzy and his body was smashed into the petrified stone of the warship by Arthur like a meteorite.
“Ugh…!” Shanks vomited blood, his expression was extremely uncomfortable, and his eyes rolled back.
If he was not one of the world's top strong men, this blow would have cost him his life on the spot.
boom--!
Under Arthur's enormous force, the ship split in the middle, split into two halves and began to sink into the sea.
The Red Hair Pirates, known as the most balanced iron-walled pirate group in the world, were completely defeated without any resistance.
The pirates, officers, deputy captains and others on the ship all turned into stone and sank into the sea along with the warship.
Only Shanks was still held tightly in Arthur's hand, not letting go for a moment.
A moment later, Hancock carried Yana back to the tail section which had not yet sunk to the bottom of the sea.
"Are you okay?" She comforted Yana softly, and observed that she seemed to be fine.
But Hancock could sense that she was very tired, and the bruises on her face looked like she had been tortured.
His hands, feet, and neck were all tightly locked with seastone shackles.
Yana looked up at Hancock wearily, with blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, and asked, "Third Mom! Your presence means Dad is here too, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the petrified warship under Hancock's feet sink completely into the sea.
The moment the sea water touched Hancock's high heels, a chill instantly froze the entire nearby sea into a glacier.
Ding! Arthur stuck the black blade ice dragon upright on the glacier, with the tip of the blade just touching the glacier, standing about 30 meters away from Yana's field of vision.
The moment Hancock heard Yana call her "Third Mom", her cold expression disappeared instantly, and her face turned red as she put Yana down.
She turned her head and looked at Arthur who was walking behind her, and said, "We want to have a well-behaved daughter like this in the future... dear."
He was holding Shanks' hair and walking towards this side step by step.
"Dad!" Yana's eyes were filled with tears. She knelt weakly on the ice and looked at Arthur.
From the day when she was captured by Arthur's enemies, she finally understood that except for the people and affairs that her father cared about, he was full of anger and murderous intent towards almost everyone except this scarred and story-filled father.
She felt the extent of the world's hatred for Arthur from the torture of the Red Hair Pirates, and almost everyone wanted to kill him.
It is exactly the same as the facts made public by the navy’s top brass.
Arthur moved closer to Yana and squinted his eyes to observe her appearance.
He was lightly dressed, with his limbs wrapped in cloth, as if he had made some preparations before the battle.
"Girls should keep their hair long. If you cut it this short, you'll look like a boy." Arthur smiled gently at Yana and said softly, "But, it looks a bit like Gion."
He pinched Shanks, who looked dazed, with his right hand, leaned down, and stretched out his left hand to stroke Yana's head.
Yana felt Arthur's fatherly love and said with tears in her eyes, "You are suffering so much... but you still have to show this expression to comfort me."
"It's been two years. Why are you still so crybaby?" Arthur wiped the tears from the corners of Yana's eyes and said.
"How can I not cry? The marshal announced all of your experiences and experiences to all the senior officials." Yana suppressed her emotions and said to Arthur.
Hearing the news, Arthur stood up, and seven or eight soul chains emerged from the air around his body, locked Shanks tightly, and then pulled him into the soul cage.
He looked serious and thought, "Ah... that guy did something unnecessary, even though he knew that what I did was irreversible."
"All those things are true, right?" Yana wanted to know the truth very much, and asked Arthur:
"Dad, you were hysterical and wanted to explain everything, but no one believed you."
Such words made Arthur's face turn cold in an instant.
A memory that was one of the reasons why he was jealous and hated the world came to his mind.
Arthur checked Yana's body and found that she was not humiliated by the red-haired girl, so he changed the subject:
"Xiao Na, I will stay in G12 for a few days and spend some time with you."
"Really?!" Yana was ecstatic to hear the news and quickly confirmed with Arthur again.
"I..." Arthur covered his bangs with a somewhat uncomfortable expression, and whispered to her: "I have been a little mentally unstable recently. Perhaps only Cooper can calm me down. I want to go to his grave to see him."
Arthur fell too deep into darkness and needed to be healed at all times.
The strength that others see is actually the result of endless suffering and pain.
"If you are not in a hurry to do your thing, then go ahead! Dad!" Yana hugged Arthur tightly and said, "My brother is there too. Let's have a good family gathering!"
Hancock listened quietly beside them. It seemed that both Yana and Yaluo attached great importance to their family and the people around them.
Nothing is more important than family.
"Let's go." Faced with his daughter's invitation, Arthur agreed immediately without hesitation.
after one day--
morning.
A shocking daily newspaper once again resounded throughout the world.
New World, deck of the Flaming Lion.
Robin stands in the foggy morning, paying a seagull for the daily newspaper.
Newspaper headlines:
The Red Hair Pirates were defeated, the captain is missing, and all crew members and their fleets are missing.
"Arthur has taken action!" Robin ran into the cabin in shock, holding a newspaper.
Early in the morning, the entire Straw Hat Pirates gathered in the cabin to hold a group meeting to decide on the next itinerary and plan.
"Robin, what's wrong?"
"Has there been any shocking news?"
"The Red Hair Pirates were defeated by Arthur!"
