Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 929: Shanks’ surrender shocked the world!

The Red Hair Pirates disbanded, and the "Four Emperors" Shanks surrendered himself!

While Aokiji was still busy making ice to force out Poseidon, the sea, which had just begun to clear of the smoke of gunpowder, was immediately shocked by this earth-shaking news.

Countless pirates screamed incomprehensible sounds and took to the streets to vent their anger, accusing Shanks of being unworthy of being a pirate, but they could not change the fact that the "Four Emperors" had become a thing of the past.

On a deserted island, Kaido, who was living a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood, looked at the newspaper in astonishment, then crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the bonfire.

"Tsk, that kid got a bargain!"

If he doesn't disband the pirate group, Shanks's action would only represent a personal admission of defeat.

But precisely because he had previously disbanded the pirate group, Shanks' subsequent surrender represented that the new world dominated by pirates had completely surrendered to the authority of the Holy Land.

To quote the words of the great intellectual Dahai, the first half of the Grand Line is called "Paradise" and the second half is the "New World".

It is hard to say whether the name of the great pirate who appeared in the first half will be remembered in the second half.

The huge difference in strength and quality of pirates has created an extremely lofty status for the New World in the hearts of pirates.

This has not changed in hundreds of years!
But now, it’s gone.

In short…

The pirate's backbone is broken!

It was broken by their own people!
No one knows what will happen in the future, but in this era, pirates no longer have any room for resistance.

Compared to the madness of the pirates, the navy and ordinary people cheered for this.

Even if they didn't understand the significance of Shanks' surrender, they understood it after the Newspaper spared no effort in distributing free leaflets for publicity.

This was not just one or two isolated victories on the battlefield, but a victory over the entire battle situation.

For a time, the crowd was excited.

The cheers and curses of countless people rose and fell, making the sea boil and noisy.

Shanks, the protagonist of this incident, was currently sitting opposite Ron in the bright office in Pangu City, drinking tea.

The noise from the outside world did not affect the two people who were high up on the holy land at all. Everything here was so peaceful and harmonious.

Ding Ding!

Putting down the stirring silver spoon with a crisp knocking sound, Ron picked up the milk tea and took a sip under the gaze of Shanks, whose mouth was twitching wildly.

"The milk produced by Beihai cows is really good, fragrant and not greasy."

Shanks: "..."

I understand the reason, but why is it milk tea? !

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, then he picked up the cup and tasted it.

Mm, too sweet.

"Actually, I usually drink tea or black tea..."

Ron put down his teacup and said, "But considering that I need to use my brain today, it is very important to replenish sugar, so I changed to drink something."

coming!

Shanks' expression gradually calmed down and he looked at him seriously.

As expected, Ron then added: "By the way, should I call you Nibelungen Shanks? Or should I call you Shanks Rocks?"

Shanks' name is very intriguing. When he was still on Roger's ship, the original name on the bounty order was "SHANKS ROUX". Later, after Roger disbanded the pirate group and he set out from the West Sea to form the Red Hair Pirates, only "SHANKS" was left.

This doesn't seem to be a problem. After all, the government's bounty order must keep pace with the times. Everyone calls him "Shanks", so the "ROUX" at the end is naturally unimportant and can be removed.

But the problem is that what is removed is "ROUX", Rocks! !

"Just call me Shanks!"

Thinking of the absurd things in the past, Shanks smiled and replied: "When I was a child, I was not proud of being his son. This is also the reason why I put my name 'Shanks' before 'Rocks'..."

Just like Ace, he also disagreed with his father Roger, so Portgas D. Ace was born.

"But later, as you know, the Five Elders found me and asked me to make a choice, but I refused... So, in order not to arouse suspicion from those with ulterior motives, they asked me to remove 'ROUX' and live alone as 'SHANKS'."

"As for the Nibelungen..."

Shanks looked Ron in the eyes, "If I cared, do you think I would agree to their proposal?"

After all, he is of Celestial Dragon descent. If Shanks wants wealth and glory, the Five Elders have plenty of ways to arrange for him to enter the Holy Land.

But he didn't want it. He would rather give up the privileges that were within his reach and live freely under his own name.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Ron couldn't help but applaud.

"Great! If I put myself in your shoes, I don't think I could be as carefree as you."

If he were to be reborn as a celestial dragon in this life, Ron felt that he would not stop. That would be a terribly high starting point for what he wanted to do.

But then again, if I were to travel through time and space and become a Celestial Dragon, would I still think of rebellion because I am tired of the endless tests of loyalty?
The answer depends on one's own opinion.

"Just like you disbanded the pirate group so freely."

Suddenly, Ron changed the subject.

"Aren't you afraid that I will send someone to kill them?"

"Not afraid!"

Shanks shook his head: "Because doing so won't do any good except letting you vent your anger."

"On the contrary, if I don't kill them, I will be the one to bear all the bad reputation."

For example, spreading the news that the Celestial Dragons have been exterminated and the real location of ONE PIECE, etc., if Ron were to do it, there would be endless trouble. But it was pirates who did it, it was none of Ron's business!
It sounds incredible, but it is true.

To solve the pirates' admiration for "ONE PIECE" is actually that simple, just unveil her mysterious veil.

Even Yim was put on the hunting list. Ron really didn't care about the so-called historical taboos.

Ron, standing on the shoulders of giants, knew that when people spent a hundred or eighty yuan to run around the Forbidden City until their legs ached, their awe of the imperial power would disappear completely.

All worship originates from the unknown. Once known and familiar, even the gods high above will get used to it and treat it with a normal attitude.

So Ron really had this plan.

However, the initiative is now in Shanks' hands.

After a moment of silence, Ron nodded: "Indeed, I cannot have any stain on me."

"But the news of the extermination of the Celestial Dragons cannot be announced now."

"I know."

At this point, Shanks was relieved: "I only told Jesus Bu and Lachi Lu that until you completely stabilize the situation, those suspicions will always be just suspicions."

"There's nothing I can do about Raftel...Everyone knows that I followed the captain there. Even if they say they don't know, no one will believe them."

"I underestimated you..."

Ron glanced at him and said, "But don't you know how many of them will die if this happens?"

"so what?!"

Shanks had no awareness of being a prisoner at all, and smiled faintly: "Don't underestimate the awareness of pirates, Canglong!"

Did Roger think about this question when he disbanded the pirate group?
Thought about it.

Did Shanks think about this question when he disbanded the pirate group?

I've thought about it too.

Did Kaido think about this question when he disbanded the pirate group?
Uh… not necessarily.

All in all, they still did it.

This is the awareness of a pirate!

Joining a pirate group is not like joining a merchant association to seek shelter and stability. These sea warriors know better than anyone what pirates are.

Plundering, fighting, slaughtering, chasing dreams, and writing courage with blood and death, this is pirates.

They are not noble, but they are not lowly either.

The biggest difference between them and ordinary people is that they are all a group of desperadoes.

But that's all.

will die?

Isn't it true that being a pirate doesn't kill people?
If anyone betrays Shanks's will for this reason, the navy will definitely agree with it wholeheartedly.

Pirates would regard it as a shame, because it is not just betrayal, but a rejection of the dignity of being a pirate.

In a nutshell, you have no shame, but we do.

Sorry for being late, it’s too hot and I can’t muster the energy!
