One Piece: Reborn in Ohara

Rumbling

The sky was shaking, the hurricane was howling, and the impact of the confrontation was raging, as if there was a feeling of doom!

Shanks, at this moment, was trying his best to gain even a slight advantage in his first attack, and a little bit was enough.

However--

Rob's figure was still tall and straight, and his whole body had a calm and immovable momentum. The Shinto in his hand resisted all of Shanks' strength without moving, showing a state of ease!

"The power is unshakable, the Haki is unfathomable, the sword is the pinnacle... and the top Devil Fruit ability."

While maintaining the maximum power output, Shanks roared loudly:

"Is this the 'strongest' you're after? But I don't believe that the distance between me and the 'world's strongest' can be so far away!!! Dahahaha..."

Bang!

Accompanied by the roar, Shanks seemed to be in a state of supernormal performance. The strength in his hands skyrocketed, and the aura on his body exploded again, climbing to an even more violent level!

At the same time, what also became larger and more terrifying was the huge and terrifying "Asura-like Conqueror's Haki" released by Shanks' extraordinary performance.

Rumbling

The even more frightening Conqueror's Haki's infusion impact was released again, the earth cracked, mountains and seas shook, and the sky split open again. The violent impact seemed to have the terrifying power to swallow everything!

"Rob! Let me see your full strength!!"

The roaring Shanks had already reached his limit.

Hearing the roar of Shanks and feeling the terrifying power transmitted from the blade of Shinto, Rob's expression was still serious, but there was a trace of determination in his eyes!

Looking at Shanks, who had reached the limit of his extraordinary performance, Rob let out a breath, his eyes suddenly sharp:

"As you wish!"

Bang——

The blue veins on his arm bulged, the muscles seemed to swell a circle, and the strength exploded to the ultimate, which also completely released his own Conqueror's Haki. The Conqueror's Haki wrapped around Shinto reached the ultimate!

Zheng!

Shinto groaned softly.

Immediately afterward, Rob directly suppressed and broke through Shanks' haki wrapped around the black sword almost instantly. Shinto slashed out, wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, and struck fiercely at Shanks' body.

Puff——

The slash tore apart the flesh, and then the berserk force poured out, directly acting on Shanks' body, hitting him like a cannonball, and sending him flying back towards the Red Hair Pirates' camp!

As fast as he had come, he was sent back even faster!

Rumble——

Accompanied by a cloud of mushroom-like dust rushing into the air, the temporary camp set up by the Red Hair Pirates turned into ruins. The crew members were all stumbling around, feeling a little unstable for a while!

After the hurricane subsided, some couldn't help exclaiming:

"It's really strong! It's the first time I've seen the boss being beaten out directly, and in such a tough, absolutely crushed way!"

"He really deserves to be able to defeat that Whitebeard, who is said to be more terrifying than all pirates, and claim the 'Strongest Throne'! Boss, are you alright?"

"Don't worry! At most, he's just disemboweled with a few broken ribs. It's nothing serious!"

"You call that 'no big deal'? Are you out of your mind!"

As a hurricane blew past and all the smoke and dust were blown away, the scene in the broken camp once again appeared in everyone's eyes.

Naturally, the camp could no longer be used. At the rear of the camp, there was another huge pothole in the mountain.

And in the center of the pit, their boss, Shanks, was lying in a small pit with a large font, the wound slashed from his left shoulder to his right waist, blood gurgling and flowing!

"Yeah, yay—

After a while, Shanks' body moved, then he got up from the human-shaped pit with a smile on his face.

He opened his mouth and said:

"It seems that my growth is far from enough! I lost to Rob in one move! Dahaha..."

The red-haired Shanks laughed loudly, paying no attention to the blood gurgling from his body.

After sheathing his sword, Shanks looked forward with determination.

thump

A series of footsteps sounded, and Rob walked over under the awe-inspiring eyes of the Red Hair Pirates.

"You have become stronger!" 

Looking at Shanks, Rob praised him from the bottom of his heart:

"Shanks!"

Hearing Rob's praise, Shanks froze for a moment, then the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He patted the dust off his body and walked towards Rob.

"It's okay for others to say it, but it's really weird hearing it from you, Rob... You're obviously a lot younger than me, so don't say that, alright?"

Hearing what Shanks said, Rob smiled casually, then turned around and walked towards the Angel.

"Treat yourself first! If there's anything, we'll talk later!"

Hearing these words, Shanks didn't refuse. After a quick reply, he asked the ship doctor to bandage him and told his subordinates to prepare for the banquet.

Even though he was stabbed by Rob, it was his own request. He couldn't blame Rob for hitting too hard!

This time, he was the one who invited Rob for a meeting, so he needed to prepare for the banquet.

Two hours later, still on this island—

A banquet for the Red Hair Pirates and Rob started lively.

Bandaged, Shanks filled Rob's glass with wine he brought from East Blue. They drank together, ate, chatted, and had a good time.

Soon, Rob brought up the topic of East Blue. Looking at Shanks' broken arm, he asked:

"Aren't you left-handed? So why don't you have your left hand? And your straw hat, which was your greatest treasure? Have you lost it?"

Hearing Rob's words, Shanks was stunned for a moment. He raised his hand and touched the empty left sleeve with a smile on his face.

Then he opened his mouth and said:

"I'm temporarily keeping the hat with a child I'm looking forward to! As for my left hand... I bet it on the new age!"

Rob's eyes narrowed. He didn't ask much about this one thing, just casually said:

"Say 'New Era' in front of me? Shanks, don't you know that I am now recognized by everyone in the sea as the 'pioneer of the new era' and the 'leader of the new era'?"

Hearing these words, Shanks froze for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

Looking at Rob, he said:

"A person like you still cares about this? You're not interested in this, Rob! I know you well!"

"Although I don't know if you take your sisters to sail freely on the sea because you really like to travel, or if you have other purposes, but I think you have nothing to do with promoting the 'New Era' idea!"

There was a pause.

Shanks continued:

"And even if I bet my arm on the 'New Era,' it won't affect you from becoming the 'strongest' in the new era, let alone affect your reputation!"

"You will sit firmly on the throne of 'the strongest' for a long, long time to come! Since you defeated Whitebeard, no one will deny that it is you who opened the 'New Era' prelude!"

Hearing what Shanks said, Rob nodded without denying it, obviously agreeing with his words.

However, there was one point he still wanted to explain.

Grunt.

After taking a sip of wine, Rob spoke directly:

"Strictly speaking, the battle between Whitebeard and me did not end conclusively. In the end, Whitebeard chose to cease fighting and give up the 'strongest' throne!"

"So I don't count it as winning! At least, I didn't win so clearly."

His eyes narrowed, a trace of fighting intent flashing in Rob's eyes, along with some regret.

He opened his mouth again:

"But if we fought again, I would definitely win!"

"But it's a pity—the fight with me was definitely the last time Whitebeard's body was at its peak! He should be suffering from hidden injuries by now, and he's full of wounds! I can't fight a sick and weak old man."

Hearing Rob's words, especially when he referred to Whitebeard as a sick old man, Shanks really didn't know how to respond.

After all--

In the entire sea, the only one who could directly fight Whitebeard and call him a sick old man was Rob, who was not yet twenty years old.

Even if Sengoku came, he couldn't describe Whitebeard that way!

"You have become so strong now."

Not caring about Shanks' emotions, Rob asked directly:

"This time, coming back to this sea, I think you want to do something, right? Do you want to climb to the top?"

Shanks nodded, not denying it.

Instead, he spoke directly and seriously:

"I have this plan! I have some things I want to do, and I have an agreement with Captain Roger to fulfill! So next—I will take my place in this sea!"

"Rob, I have a request - if you are not interested in promoting the arrival of the 'new era,' then please let me stabilize the end of the old era!"

While talking, Shanks stood up straight.

Snapped--

Then he directly squatted down in front of Rob, and asked loudly:

"Please! Rob!"
