Red-Haired Shanks!!
Seeing this figure, Teach didn't know why, but he suddenly let out a breath of relief, yet his face was still covered in cold sweat, and he forced a smile as he said,
"Zehahahaha... you're here?"
"This is really interesting. Former comrades from Roger's ship, and now you've reached the point of drawing weapons against each other. So who will come out on top in the end?"
"Will it be the one known as the strongest Conqueror's Haki user in the world, whose strength rivals that of Whitebeard in his youth — Red-Haired Shanks?"
"Or will it be the one who has frequently vanished from the seas over the past few decades, once hailed as having absolute dominance over the strong and never having been defeated — Black Gun Orin?"
"Zehahahahaha... this really makes one curious!!!"
In the distance, Kizaru was also sighing with emotion.
"So scary even Red-Haired has shown up"
A beam of laser light gathered at his fingertip, but it was interrupted by the sound of a gun being cocked,
"Don't move, Kizaru."
Beckman appeared atop the sail, a cigarette clenched in his mouth as he aimed his gun at Kizaru.
"So scary, Ben Beckman~"
Despite saying that, not a single drop of cold sweat flowed, after all, not just anyone was qualified to threaten the life of a Marine Admiral with a gun.
On the other side,
Mihawk, who was also watching the battlefield, disengaged from his fight with Kuzan, his sharp eyes locking onto Blackbeard.
"Dare to fan the flames again, and I'll cut you down."
To be honest, his relationship with both of them was quite good.
During all those days when Orin wasn't around, many times he had used Shanks as a sparring partner to practice swordsmanship.
If possible, he didn't want to see the two of them fight.
Of course...
If they really had to fight, he would definitely stand on Orin's side.
At this moment on the battlefield,
Orin maintained his raised-leg posture, his kick blocked by Shanks's sword.
A moment of carelessness, so he didn't notice it?
The power of Observation Killing, huh...
But it wasn't important anyway.
With a deep, shadowed expression, Orin calmly looked at Shanks's grave and earnest face, then couldn't help the corner of his mouth curling upward.
When a person is utterly speechless, they can't help but laugh a little.
"Interesting..."
Then Orin slightly pulled his leg back, and as if gathering strength, kicked out fiercely once more.
A swift and powerful kick that even produced a sonic boom as it shot out, and Shanks's always composed, cool, and showy expression instantly changed at this moment. He responded with even greater force,
"Crack crack crack crack crack crack..."
Black-and-red lightning born from the collision of their Conqueror's Haki spread out in a spiderweb pattern from the point where they clashed, countless pirates and Marines instantly rolled their eyes back and collapsed to their knees with thuds.
"Fufufufufu..."
Sensing that both of them intended to get serious, Doflamingo's face was filled with excitement as he burst into uncontrollable laughter,
"Both are monsters believed to be standing at the pinnacle of Conqueror's Haki in this era, and now they're actually getting serious against each other... This really makes one curious — who exactly is the answer of this age?!"
Roger felt the seriousness of the two forces as well, and a hint of shock appeared on his face.
"Shanks... Orin..."
No matter what, he could feel it.
These two kids who once followed behind him — in terms of Conqueror's Haki alone, they were probably no longer beneath him.
"Shanks!!! You bastard!!! You suddenly show up and start opposing Orin — what the hell are you trying to do?!"
Among everyone watching, the only one without a grave expression was probably Buggy.
His body split into pieces as he angrily cursed at Shanks.
What the hell is Shanks doing?!
He's actually helping the Marines deal with Orin!!!
Under the tightly furrowed gazes of everyone present, the boundless Haki grew stronger and stronger, spreading outward from the center of the clash.
It started with the foot soldiers, then the officers and cadres, and in the end even some division commanders and Marine Vice Admirals couldn't withstand it, half-kneeling with extremely ugly expressions.
That Conqueror's Haki collision, which began as red spiderweb lightning, gradually turned into thunder, then developed into a thunderstorm, left countless people in agony, and even Emperor-level figures now had several drops of cold sweat on their faces.
"Stop it, Orin. The war can't be allowed to expand any further!!!"
At the center of the thunderstorm, Shanks continued to plead earnestly, and his expression was growing increasingly strained.
As the Conqueror's Haki kept increasing, he had already begun to feel the pressure, but in contrast, Orin, still holding his leg raised with a calm expression, seemed as if he hadn't used his full strength yet.
That terrifying, demon-god-like Conqueror's Haki was still pouring out and growing stronger!!!
"As long as I'm here, things won't spiral out of control. But you, Shanks..."
A crimson light burst from Orin's pupils as he narrowed his eyes.
"It seems you've forgotten the battles from when we were kids."
"..."
Hearing those words, several drops of cold sweat finally appeared on Shanks's face.
He had originally thought that after many years apart, with his current strength rivaling Captain Roger's, he wouldn't be this overwhelmed when facing Orin.
But the gap now...
As Orin continued to exert force, Conqueror's Haki wrapped around his leg and had already begun to suppress Shanks.
This scene caused the expressions of countless onlookers to change drastically.
The cigarette in Beckman's mouth had fallen to the ground at some point, but he could only stare at Orin in shock.
"How could something like this be possible..."
Garp, his face covered in blood, stared with his mouth open and trembling pupils.
"This level of Conqueror's Haki — only that man ever reached such a realm!!!"
Even Kaido, a madman for war, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when facing the suppression of this Conqueror's Haki.
"That's right... this is it..."
"In every era, there will only be one monster who possesses Haki even stronger than the lords of the seas."
As time passed, Orin's gaze grew more and more dangerous, and Shanks's blade even began to tremble.
The endless black-and-red thunderstorm now completely overwhelmed the other side.
Although it hadn't reached the point of spreading across the entire world, it was still like a natural disaster, crossing the ocean and spreading across the heavens, stretching endlessly, even shrouding the sky above the Red Line.
The master of the Flower Room was awakened, his ringed pupils instantly widening, and even the Elders of the World Government were drenched in cold sweat.
The entire world seemed to be left with only one figure, that black figure whose eyes shone with crimson light.
"So tell me then — what do you have?"
Orin's Conqueror's-Haki-infused kick instantly shattered space itself as it smashed fiercely into Shanks.
His entire body immediately flew out while vomiting blood, his pupils beginning to lose focus.
"I'm the kind of person..."
Orin slowly walked forward, his gaze indifferent.
The pitch-black power of space around his body twisted everything, and the black-and-red Conqueror's thunderstorm spread tens of thousands of miles, like a king suppressing the world.
He gently raised his foot.
The fleeing king, his face smeared with tears and snot, already unconscious, still couldn't escape the fate of being blown apart by a single kick.
"...who really hates being interrupted when I'm in the mood."
