One Piece: The Human-Human Fruit, it makes sense to be an admiral

"Is it related to Shanks? I've never heard him talk about it."

"..."

The cadres around Shanks were all confused.

Among the crowd, only Beckman's expression was unusually solemn.

He was the first crew member Shanks encountered.

He is also the one who knows the most about Shanks's life and past experiences.

The Valley of Gods incident!

It is inextricably linked to Shanks' life.

Shanks is a heartless man, but Beckman is not.

After learning the whole situation, he warned Shanks.

If you don't want to cause trouble for those around you, don't say anything about the Valley of the Gods after meeting new crew members.

The members who joined the Red Hair Pirates later had no idea about the God Valley incident and Shanks's origins.

Looking at Shanks' shocked expression, Ian felt very comfortable in his heart. This was the result he wanted.

"Captain Shanks, should we talk somewhere else, or continue our conversation here?"

"I don't mind, but I'm not sure if you want more people to hear about what happened back then."

Ian said this deliberately to put pressure on the leaders of the Red Hair Pirates.

At least let them all know that they hold an incredible secret in their hands.

Moreover, this matter is directly related to Shanks.

"Just saying right here, there's no one else here, these are all my family."

"I want to confirm one thing first. This happens every three years... Is it your turn to participate this time?"

Shanks directly pointed out the important key.

After so many years of understanding, others don’t know what every three years means.

Shanks dared to say that Ian, who came to find him, would most likely understand what it meant.

Ian nodded noncommittally:

"This time the location is Wano Country!"

"Everyone present here may be confused by what you heard. You can understand that in a few days, Wano Country will disappear from this world."

This statement came out.

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

Wano Country has existed for so many years and is surrounded by natural dangers such as waterfalls.

Now suddenly someone says that Wano Country should disappear from the world?

It sounds like a fairy tale!

is it possible?

Is this kind of thing really possible?

Shanks's expression turned completely serious.

His reaction indirectly confirmed Ian's statement.

"I have plenty of time today, so I don't mind chatting with you all for a while."

"I also believe that everyone is more interested in hearing the inside story."

Ian continued, beginning to talk about the various information he had learned.

A story that has been told many times does not require any thinking or hesitation, and can be told clearly and quickly.

The expressions of the people on the beach changed slightly.

From being on high alert towards Ian at the beginning to being gradually shocked by the truth about the school trip.

This transformation is what Ian wants to see.

The most important thing to convince Shanks to join this battle is to get his companions to accept it.

If only Shanks himself felt the same way and no one else felt it at all, Shanks would most likely refuse.

After listening to the story, the Red Hair Pirates' leaders began to question again:

"You, aren't you a vice admiral of the navy? Isn't it your responsibility to protect the World Government and the navy? Why..."

"That's right. Why should we help Wano Country? Why should we do something that will destroy our own future?"

"But if he was lying and deliberately trying to trick us, that would be even more unreasonable."

"So, are these things true? Hey, Shanks, you've known about the Celestial Dragons for a long time, but you never told us?"

"..."

Mihawk had already sheathed his black knife.

Based on his understanding of Shanks and judging by Shanks's reaction.

Ian is probably telling the truth.

Otherwise, with so many opportunities to raise questions, he should have said something long ago.

Nothing is said now, but it is enough to explain everything.

Mihawk said sarcastically:

"He's the one who can attack even Kaido and Charlotte Linlin without any scruples."

"They probably wouldn't care about your Red Hair Pirates, or whether they have any strength, right?"

"If he just wanted to attack you, or attack me, there's no need to make up any stories."

"On the day Kaido was destroyed, Charlotte Linlin also escaped from Wano Country."

"Under such circumstances, there are still people in Wano Country who can hold on and not be conquered by the World Government."

"If this is what he said, then everything will make sense."

Mihawk has his own opinion on the situation on the sea.

He believed that Shanks was the same as him.

It seemed that all the questions that had been bothering me now had complete answers.

It's not surprising that Ian would do these things based on the navy and his so-called "justice".

"Don't make me sound so great, I'm just an ordinary person."

"I just can't stand the Celestial Dragons' actions. They're completely contrary to my principles."

"If the Navy exists to protect scum like this, it doesn't matter if I shed this layer of skin."

"The Revolutionary Army is pretty much what I'm going to do. I have a better relationship with Big Bear."

"He also helped me contact the members of the Revolutionary Army, and they became my temporary allies."

"In an all-out war with the Navy and the World Government, I don't want too many casualties among my subordinates and the cadres the Revolutionary Army is willing to trust."

"All we can do is find as many people as possible to join this war."

"We don't need to have the same goals. You can use your own goals, as long as the enemy is the same."

Ian didn't care what Shanks's purpose was, whether he would cooperate with Ian or act alone.

Being able to trick him onto the battlefield would be the greatest success.

Now that was all Ian was thinking about.

Big Bear stayed by Ian's side throughout the whole process, never saying a word.

He admired Ian's boldness.

Two of the Four Emperors were defeated by him one after another.

The strong ones at the level of the Four Emperors must be quite wary of him.

In this situation, he actually dared to come to Shanks' territory.

Moreover, he was not worried at all that Shanks would suddenly attack him.

This kind of magnanimity and courage is definitely not something that ordinary people possess.

So, what Big Bear has to do is very simple.

No matter what happens, Ian must be protected.

If necessary, we will not hesitate to confront the Four Emperors head-on and send them flying one by one!

"Mr. Jock Ian, if I continue to call you Lieutenant General Jock Ian, I will feel a little disrespectful to you."

"I really had no idea what you said before."

"It seems that my judgment of your character is still too narrow."

"In the navy...there really are people like you who fight for pure justice for ordinary people!"

Shanks couldn't help but sigh.

I still feel shocked inside.

The sudden situation required him to do a lot of thinking.

According to Ian, there are only five days left before Wano Country is cleansed.

The time left for him to think was almost zero.

What's more, Ian has come in person.

It seems that they are preparing to get an explanation today so that the confusion can be resolved.

As Shanks expected, Ian expressed his positive expectations:

"Captain Shanks, I need you to give me an answer as to whether or not you want to participate in this operation."
