From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

At this time, the battlefield had been divided. Sakaski led the main force of the fleet and blocked the Straw Hat Pirates led by Beckman outside.

Diarmait's armed merchant ship also slowly anchored in the natural deep-water harbor of the uninhabited island.

Diarmait had already changed into the uniform of a navy admiral. He wore a cloak of justice with admiral's epaulettes, which fluttered in the wind. He wore a white short-sleeved shirt on the upper body and black trousers on the lower body. His trouser legs were tucked into his high-top military boots, making him look heroic.

At the same time, the demon sword Heart Crossing, which was originally held in Tina's arms, was now hanging around his waist.

As soon as he stepped on the ground, Diarmait looked at the figure walking out of the jungle in the distance.

He was wearing a familiar straw hat, and under the brim was burgundy short hair. He looked a little sloppy, wearing a captain's coat, but wearing large patterned shorts, and a pair of flip-flops on his feet.

The only thing that caught his eye was the sword at his waist: it was a Western-style sword, the Griffin, one of the most famous swords.

There is no doubt that this person is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Straw Hat... Shanks.

Compared to when they met in the East China Sea a few years ago, Shanks looked much more mature and less immature. For example, he had some stubble.

"Red-haired..." Diarmait said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shanks's face turned a little unhappy and he said, "At this point, you still call me Red Hair?"

Shanks knew very well that he had originally sailed under the name of "Red Hair", but was forced to become a Straw Hat by the Navy. Who was responsible for this? It was this Diarmuid.

But after seeing me, this bastard still called me "Red Hair" in a hypocritical way. What's the point of that? Isn't that disgusting?

Diarmait laughed when he heard that, and said, "Hahahahahaha, yes, now I should call you Straw Hat Boy. Do you remember what I told you before?" Shanks was very unhappy to hear the name "Straw Hat Boy", and he was also a little confused by Diarmait's words, what did you say to me before?

Seeing Shanks's puzzled expression, Diarmait smiled again and said, "Sure enough, you don't remember. Back in the East Sea, I warned you that if you dared to become a pirate again, I would burn your straw hat the next time we meet. Now it seems that you have forgotten my advice..."

"Hey, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're a navy admiral!" Shanks suddenly said.

"Tsk..." Diarmuid smacked his lips, then placed his hand on the hilt of the Xindu sword at his waist and said, "Do you want to surrender, or do you want to fight?"

Without waiting for Shanks to speak, Diarmuid continued, "If you surrender, I can at least give you some dignity. If you attack me, I will not show mercy." "What a coincidence! I won't show mercy either!" Shanks said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, Diarmait did not speak, and Shanks stopped talking. The two just looked at each other for about ten seconds. When a gust of sea breeze blew, the cloak of justice behind Diarmait swayed.

Diarmait moved. He took a step forward and suddenly lost his weight. His figure suddenly disappeared from Shanks' sight.

Shanks couldn't see Diarmait, but he was a veteran of countless battles, having followed Roger since childhood. He instinctively drew his Griffin and slashed forward.

The next moment, an obscure, dark, and curse-like aura came towards him. Then, he exerted force in his hands, and the flip-flops on his feet sank into the ground.

The muscles on his arms flexed as Diarmait's sword, Heart Crossing, slashed at his griffin.

"Tiger's roar..." Diarmait said with a light sigh.

Before Shanks could react, an extremely strong gravitational pressure suddenly erupted from the heart ferry, turning into the roar of a tiger, directly wrapping up Shanks and knocking him away in an instant.

Shanks's figure was very agile. He rolled several times in the air, raised his hand and slashed out, flying towards Diarmait. Diarmait also took the opportunity to adjust his posture and landed safely. He did not suffer any serious injuries, but just felt a slight heaviness in his chest.

On the other hand, Diarmait just casually raised his hand and swung it, and the blade of Xindu pressed against the slash, slid outward, and deflected the slash.

After just one fight, Shanks' expression became very serious. After this test, both sides had some understanding.

Diarmait could clearly feel that Shanks' strength was much worse than his own.

Shanks, however, couldn't perceive Diarmait's strength as clearly as he did. After all, he was on the weaker side. But he also compared Charlotte and Lingling and felt that Diarmait might be stronger than Charlotte. Lingling?

Not daring to dwell on these thoughts any further, Shanks swung his domineering aura around him, and Griffin instantly transformed into a black blade. He stomped his flip-flops hard on the ground, his waist and horse united, and roared, "God Repel!!!"

The moment he finished speaking, he had already slashed out with his sword.

When Diarmuid saw this knife, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, because this knife was really outstanding, and he also felt that the name of this move sounded familiar.

Then he remembered, this is Roger's move! ?

It seems that this kid Shanks inherited a lot from Roger!

However, if Roger used this move, Diarmait would have to avoid it, after all, it was a divine move.

But when Shanks used it, although it felt very strong, it was not to the point where Diarmuid could not accept it.

Diarmuid suddenly clenched his hand that was holding the hilt of Xindu's sword, and the dark armed color domineering aura instantly wrapped around Xindu. At the same time, he slashed out at the flying divine avoidance attack.

"One sword style. Kill the tiger!" Diarmait said with a light sigh.

Shanks's divine shield was directly cut off by Diarmait's sword, and two sharp slashes flew out along Diarmait's side.

Shaking off his arrogance, Diarmait grinned and said, "Kid, you're still far from it!"

"You have no right to call me a brat!" Shanks shouted angrily, stomped his feet, and flew out.

His eyes and pupils were filled with anger. The griffin in his hand reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight (the king's), which was reflected on Diarmait's eyelids, causing Diarmait to close his eyes instinctively.

And at this moment, an extremely strong domineering aura flowed out from Shanks' hands, which was not the armed color domineering aura.

But it is the domineering aura of the king!

This domineering aura directly wrapped around his Griffin. When Diarmait opened his eyes, his figure had already fallen, and at the same time, he slashed with a sword!

"Ni Fang!!!" Shanks roared.

At this moment, he seemed to have become one with the Griffin in his hand, and it stabbed at Diarmait like a fang.

Diarmuid also felt the threatening power from this sword. The entanglement of the domineering aura was indeed something that could not be underestimated no matter who held it.

It was at this moment that Diarmuid became spiritually alert and his mind became clear. The dark armed color domineering in his hand also turned into an invisible force like flowing clouds. If you take a look at it, you can find that this force has the ability to shock people.

Overlord color entanglement! ?

He had no consciousness and instinctively raised his hand to chop out along with Shanks's sword.

Afterwards, the two extremely powerful domineering auras collided with each other. Then, the sky and the earth changed color, and invisible wind pressure and air waves instantly spread out from the two people. The void around them was also electrified, bringing out a black and purple light.

"Open!" Diarmait suddenly shouted.

The two forces were deadlocked for only a moment. As Diarmuid roared, Shanks was chopped off and sent flying.

"I told you, you're still far from it, Shanks!" Diarmuid laughed.

Right

Chapter 253 The Strongest Domineering Haki!?

The moment Shanks landed on the ground, the ground beneath his feet collapsed. At the same time, his eyes rolled back and he was surrounded by the domineering aura. If he hit someone, it would most likely stun them and make them faint.

But the next moment, Shanks' eyes returned to normal, and his staggering figure stood firmly on the ground.

But if you look closely, you will find blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Diarmait with a look of fear in his eyes.

At that moment just now, he could feel that Diarmait's domineering aura was very immature. He probably had not used it much, or it was very likely that he was using this kind of power for the first time.

But even so, the person who was defeated was still Shanks.

What does this mean? It means that in terms of hard power, Diarmuid is more than one level stronger than him!

In fact, Shanks has not yet reached his peak. Although Mihawk helps him with "special training", the gap in strength is still there.

In the original story, it was six years later that Shanks truly ascended to the position of the Four Emperors.

Now, as Diarmait said, he is still far away!

Diarmuid, who injured Shanks, did not take advantage of the situation to pursue him. Instead, he carefully felt the entanglement of the domineering aura that he had suddenly used for some reason.

But if you ask him to share some experience or truth, he really can't say anything.

That feeling can only be understood, not expressed in words.

After thinking for a while, Diarmait stopped thinking about it and instead looked at the Redforth and the navy's armed merchant fleet fighting on the sea in the distance.

The magma of Sakaski has begun to erupt everywhere. Not only can the Redfors not break in, but it is also fleeing in a panic.

After considering the situation, Diarmait decided to suspend the offensive and see if he could swallow the entire Straw Hat Pirates in one bite.

If he killed Shanks quickly and efficiently, then maybe Beckman would just grit his teeth, stomp his feet, turn around and run away with his men?

There was a doldrums ahead, and the Redvers's performance was indeed better than that of an armed merchant ship. Without any scruples, they would flee madly, and who knows, they might really escape.

Therefore, Diarmait planned to wait for a while and drag Shanks along. As long as Shanks was not killed, the Straw Hat Pirates would never give up their captain like that, right?

This will keep them in suspense, giving Sakaski enough time to arrange the Redfors.

Shanks was originally waiting seriously, expecting Diarmait to make a move.

However, he found that Diarmait ignored him and instead stared at the naval battle in the distance, feeling somewhat confused.

But he soon reacted. Although he was not as smart as Beckman, Shanks was not a fool. Diarmait's plan was too obvious and he noticed it immediately.

But now that things have come to this, there is actually no good way for him to break the deadlock.

Therefore, Shanks only thought about it for a moment, and a determined look flashed in his eyes.

QQ search skirt 779764826 must go all out and attack Diarmuid regardless of the consequences. If we can defeat him by chance, we will seize this ship and attack the naval fleet over there from both sides.

He took advantage of the situation to meet up with Beckman and the others, and then quickly hid in the doldrums.

Of course, this is the best outcome. If Diarmaitre is still unable to be defeated by the strong attack, then there is no other way. The situation is already a dead end. He will force Diarmaitre to end the battle as soon as possible, sacrifice himself, and warn Beckman and others to ignore Shanks and run away quickly!

Although his own end may be miserable, at least the Straw Hat Pirates can be saved. Maybe there will be a turning point in the future?

Shanks is also a decisive person and a courageous person. Once he makes up his mind, he will no longer hesitate.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his arm again, Shanks took a deep breath, his aura becoming stronger and stronger. He looked at Diarmait and said, "Don't... underestimate me!" As soon as he finished speaking, a ruthless look flashed in Shanks' eyes. The moment he lowered his body, he rushed towards Diarmait like a rabbit.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Diarmait's eyes. He knew that this boy had seen through his thoughts.

But it doesn't matter. In fact, as long as Shanks is killed, the Straw Hat Pirates will be in trouble. Although Beckman is strong and has a high IQ, he lacks some of Shanks's personal charm. Without Shanks, this group of people is actually not a concern.

Thinking of this, Diarmait no longer hesitated. He swung out the knife in his hand and shouted, "Gravity Knife. Tiger!" Many years ago, this move was considered his main attack move. Now, it can only be said to be not much different from a normal attack.

The powerful gravity broke out of the sword, but Shanks completely ignored it. He slashed down with the sword, cutting some gaps, and plunged directly into it. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Diarmait.

"Eagle cry!" Shanks growled and followed with a knife.

Diarmait swung his sword back, blocking the blow. At that moment, Shanks's grip loosened, and the famous sword, Griffin, flew out of his hand. At the same time, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and a domineering aura like flowing water instantly attached to his hands, slashing towards Diarmait's heart.

It was as if he was trying to grab Diarmait's heart.

Diarmuid had never fought with Shanks, but in his impression, Shanks was a man who made a living by relying on his domineering aura and sword. Therefore, for a moment, he really couldn't react and wondered why this guy suddenly gave up the sword.

Why does this move look so familiar? Isn't this the Black Tiger Heart-Ripping Technique?

"Griffin!" Shanks shouted angrily, and his palms turned into sharp claws like a griffin, grabbing Diarmait's heart.

At this moment, the Heart Ferry in Diarmait's hand fell to the ground. The sharp tip of the blade pierced the ground directly, supporting the blade and inserting it into the ground.
