General Lanlin of One Piece

New World, Rocky Harbor Sea.

The Redforth sailed against the wind and waves on the vast ocean, moving forward at a high speed.

At the bow, Shanks frowned as he watched the live video of the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

In the video, a grand ceremony is being held on a bustling and lively island. Countless people are waving their hands and cheering on the huge stands. A girl with headphones is holding a microphone, dancing dynamically and humming a moving song.

Behind the stage, there was a majestic figure like a mountain, with one hand supporting his chin with a fist. He was also wearing headphones and had his eyes closed, as if enjoying the girl's ethereal singing.

In his other hand, he was playing with an eternal record pointer.

In Shanks' eyes, there was only the figure of that girl.

His voice was hoarse and filled with the depression of impending storm.

“Can anyone tell me why Uta is in Barrett’s place?”

"Maybe it's a normal business cooperation. Uta is the most popular idol singer among young people in recent years. The World Expo celebration organized by Buena Festa is extremely grand. Inviting Uta to go, I think it's a normal thing. Shanks, don't worry too much."

Jesus knew very well how important Uta was to Shanks. The girl's background was exactly the same as Shanks's when he was a child, and Shanks treated her completely as a girl.

If it weren't for that incident, Uta should be staying with the Red Hair Pirates now and become the favorite of their pirate group.

Hearing Jesus' words of comfort, Beckman shook his head.

"You're too optimistic, Jesus. If it was just a Buenafesta, I would agree with the idea of ​​business cooperation. But the problem is that there is also that extremely dangerous guy Barrett."

"You all saw what happened in Songruan last time. Barrett used some unknown method to eat Teach and rob him of his fruit ability."

Beckman's face became solemn and serious, and he pointed out a possibility that everyone present knew but did not dare to think about.

"Uta's power may be enough to destroy this world. That demon... What if Barrett wants to..."

"Okay, Beckman, you're exaggerating a bit." Jesus interrupted Beckman quickly as he looked at Shanks' increasingly gloomy face.

But Beckman continued.

"I think we should prepare for the worst, Shanks."

Shanks was silent for a long time before he stood up, stood at the bow and looked forward.

"Is Uta... in danger? Uncle Beckman."

From behind, Luffy's nervous voice could be heard.

Beckman turned sideways and saw Luffy looking at the live broadcast of Den Den Mushi with worry in his eyes.

Behind him, Yixiao, Marco, Bist and others also formed a strong lineup.

"The above are just my personal guesses. No matter what Barrett wants to do, I think there is no need to worry before the Expo officially starts. What we have to do now is to rush over as soon as possible."

Luffy nodded slowly and clenched his fists, "No matter what, I will never let anyone hurt Uta, no matter who it is!"

The atmosphere on the boat was somewhat depressing.

After a while, the fishman Gabu, who was acting as a lookout, suddenly shouted in a deep voice and issued a reminder.

"Attention! A large number of naval fleets have been spotted ahead."

"Navy? Those guys must be going to Wanbo Island as well, right? Gabu, can you see who's leading the team?"

Shanks asked as he finally came back to his senses from the silence and looked up in the direction Gabu was pointing.

Gabu held up the telescope and observed carefully for a moment, his expression becoming very solemn.

"What's wrong? Is it Lan Lin who came?" Seeing Gabu's serious expression, everyone on the deck felt heavy-hearted.

"General Lanlin?" I really don't want to see him at all, Shanks! We still have time to turn back. That guy... is scarier than Barrett!"

Just hearing the word Lanlin, Buggy was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.

"Not Lanlin!"

But Gabu shook his head.

But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Gabu say again: "The leader is not Lanlin, but the navy hero Garp, Admiral Kizaru, and I also saw Magellan, the warden of Impel Down, and CP0 of the World Government."

"Hero Garp, Admiral Kizaru, Warden Magellan, and CP0?"

After hearing Gabu's words, everyone's faces turned serious.

"They are all big shots. This is going to be interesting." Beckman lit a cigarette for himself and said lightly.

"Is grandpa here?" Luffy rushed to the bow of the ship and looked.

On the sea at the end of the sight, the outlines of a large number of warships began to emerge, and judging from their sailing direction, they were actually coming straight towards this side.

Buggy was shaking with fear and screamed, "Oh no! They are coming! Shanks! Let's run!"

"Escape?" Shanks regained his usual calmness and looked at the fleet approaching. "Baki, did you make a mistake?"

“What?” Bucky was stunned.

Shanks held the hilt of the sword, and an aura as heavy as the sky rose from his not-so-tall body. Just the burst of aura created a strong wind on the sea and dispersed the dark clouds above his head.

"We are the Red Hair Pirates."

Shanks' calm words contained an extremely powerful confidence, which instantly made the crew members excited.

"That's right! We are the Red Hair Pirates!"

"It's not us who are running away! It's the navy!"

"You think you can deal with us with just this little force? The navy is really naive!"

However, at this moment, Yixiao looked up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I think we should leave first."

The Red Hair Pirates' crew members, whose morale was boosted by Shanks' words, were stunned and looked at him with some displeasure.

"Yixiao, what do you mean? Do you think you are underestimating our Red Hair Pirates?"

A new crew member with a hedgehog head was a little unhappy and was about to say something unpleasant, but was interrupted by Beckman with a serious expression and raised his hand.

At this time, Shanks and others also looked up.

Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke. "Yixiao is right. Although we are not afraid of the navy, Uta's affairs are the most important now. There is no need to stay here. Shanks, let's go. Let Yixiao take us away to Wanbo Island."

Shanks nodded and looked at Yixiao, "Mr. Yixiao, I'm sorry to bother you."

With a smile and a nod, a circle of purple light spread from the staff sword, covering the Redfors, causing the ship to float up from the sea and quickly fly into the sky.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? Do you want to come sit with me for a while, Redhead?"

An old voice came from far away in the air.

Shanks said coldly: "I have nothing to talk to you about, Zephyr."

In the sky, a small island with a radius of several kilometers was floating, flying towards this side at a neither fast nor slow speed.

At the edge of the island, Zefa and Aokiji were standing there.

"It's... it's Black Arm Zephyr! And the former Navy Admiral Aokiji!"

Seeing the two people standing on the island, the excited pirates on the Redfors instantly fell silent.

If they were just facing the navy, they wouldn't be worried at all.

But if Zephyr and Aokiji are added, there will be no fight.

Even if they still have Luffy and his crew here, they have no chance of winning if they face the Navy and the NEO Navy at the same time.

"Uncle Yixiao! Let's go! I see grandpa chasing us!" Luffy shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cap's thunderous roar was heard over the sea.

"Luffy!! I see you! Stop right there!"

"I don't want to! I want to be the Pirate King!" Luffy shouted in response.

Cap was furious.

"What did you say? It looks like you want to taste my fist!"

"Garp, you old man still don't know how to educate your descendants." Zefa couldn't help laughing when he heard the conversation between the grandfather and grandson.

"Zefar? You old man are not dead? Hahahaha, I thought you were dead."

Garp's laughter could also be heard from afar.

In the sea breeze, you can faintly hear some excited voices of the navy.

Zefa stuffed a cigar into his mouth and grinned, "I won't die even if you die."

On the vast sea, three major forces gathered together, and the atmosphere instantly became stagnant, as if a war was about to break out.

But at this moment, a loud bang came from the direction of the distant Totland Sea, roaring and resounding across the entire New World.

When everyone looked up, they saw dazzling flashes of lightning in the distant sky. Silver-white lightning spread out on the sky like a spider web, as if the sky was torn apart by countless lightning.

In an instant, thunder and lightning roared, and the sound shook the sky, as if the entire new world was shaking in this earth-shaking sound.

The sea below was heaving.

Shanks' eyes reflected the countless lightning flashing in the sky, and he said in a low voice, "That direction... is Wano Country, right?"

"This thunderstorm... is Lanlin! It's definitely him!" Beckman took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of smoke, "He attacked Kaido. He is really decisive. He took advantage of the Expo to attract the attention of the whole world and launched an attack on the Beasts Pirates?"

Zephyr and Garp also looked in that direction.

"Rorschach..."

Garp turned around, looked at Kizaru and asked, "Borsalino, when did G5 go to trouble Kaido? How come the headquarters has no news of such a big event?"

Kizaru scratched his head in distress, spread his hands, and said innocently: "Don't ask me, Vice Admiral Garp, I don't know either. Did that guy Rorschach really lead a large army to Wano Country to defeat Kaido? Such a big event was not reported to Sakaski and the World Government. It's really terrible, Rorschach."

"What should we do now? Should we go to Wano Country to help Rorschach?" Magellan's deep voice came from behind.

Garp looked at the Redfors flying away overhead and said, "No, we have our own things to do. If what the Five Elders said is true, then we must stop that girl from doing anything!"

"Get ready, Borsalino, Magellan. This time, we might really get serious."

Magellan crossed his arms, his face stern and his eyes cold, "I can't wait any longer."

Off the coast of Wano Country, a terrible battle is in full swing.

In the sky, endless lightning roared and flashed, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.

On the sea, the waves were raging and the sea water was constantly exploding. A storm that was big enough to easily crush a ship swept across the sea, forming a huge whirlpool with a diameter of several thousand meters, like a world-destroying disaster.

The two huge figures were like war weapons that never knew fatigue, and they attacked each other madly.

Every collision of fists and feet, every clash of weapons, can cause the air to distort within a radius of several thousand meters.

The huge vibration and roar could be felt even in the New World thousands of kilometers away, not to mention Wano Country which was dozens of kilometers away.

At this moment in Wano Country, the huge deep lake was surging with waves, and the water surface was spraying out along the big hole that Kaido had crashed through.
