Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Kalifa asked with some concern,

"Boss, are you feeling alright?"

Qianhe gave her a reassuring smile and said,

"Don't worry, it's more than enough."

Ace and Yamato's eyes immediately turned into stars. The person opposite them was no ordinary cat or dog, but one of the Four Emperors, Shanks the Red-Haired!

Master Chiga (elder brother) is so calm and composed; he is truly a formidable man!

Especially Yamato, who witnessed Chiga defeat her father Kaido in the entire process, and now she can witness his battle with Shanks. For her, who has just gained her freedom, this is extremely exciting.

Now the number one man in her heart is about to change hands. Yamato is even considering changing her title. This time, she won't change it to her master's full name. She will call herself Uchiha Yamato from now on!

Chika was unaware that the dwindling Uchiha clan had acquired a remarkable woman who stood 2.6 meters tall. He looked at Shanks and said...

"As one of the Four Emperors, Shanks the Red-Haired has actually come to this little windmill village. You certainly have a lot of leisure time."

Shanks replied with a forced smile.

"I'm just here to visit a friend. Doesn't Lieutenant General Zilin have his own friends here too?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Makino behind Chiga. She had said she was going to call someone "very, very powerful," but he hadn't paid much attention. Didn't he know what the situation was like in the East Blue? He didn't believe that Makino could bring Garp over with just one phone call.

Even if she did find Garp, how long would it take to get here from headquarters? By the time Garp arrives, she would have already headed home, and might even be able to go and spar with Hawkeye on the way.

But what he never expected was that Makino actually brought together a heavyweight figure, Uchiha Chika. How did the two of them get together?

This is truly an eye-opener – a small knife pulling out a big mess!

There was no point in saying anything now. Shanks drew his sword, knowing that a battle was inevitable.

However, he wasn't too panicked. In his opinion, the island was unlikely to withstand a battle of his and Chiga's caliber. He figured they wouldn't go all out and would stop after a couple of exchanges.

Chiga then opened the doorway again to let the others slip inside. Ace didn't forget to carry Luffy inside, and Shanks didn't interfere either, knowing it was a form of protection.

He will indeed reduce his strength, but it will be almost impossible to save this forest.

Now that everything was ready, Chika and Shanks exchanged a glance, and almost at the same time, their Conqueror's Haki erupted. Two streams of Conqueror's Haki, one red and one purple, collided fiercely between them.

A dark rift has been torn open above the clash of Conqueror's Haki. This is the opening ceremony of a battle between Emperor-level powerhouses, and few can withstand such terrifying pressure.

At this moment, there was no intact land to be seen around them; the dense cracks made the ground look as if it would collapse at any moment.

This kind of Conqueror's Haki, which causes substantial damage, is not just enough to stun the weak; ordinary people would die instantly under its influence, not even lasting a second.

The two Conqueror's Hakis were locked in a stalemate for a while, but in the end, the purple Conqueror's Haki gained the upper hand, and the red Conqueror's Haki was already retreating step by step.

Shanks looked grim. He was the only one of the Four Emperors who hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit. He became an Emperor because of his unparalleled mastery of Conqueror's Haki. Now, his proudest achievement had been defeated, which was hard for him to accept.

Seeing that he had lost the battle of momentum, a red and black light flashed in Shanks' eyes, and his sword trembled, with red and black Conqueror's Haki wrapping around it.

With a flash, Shanks appeared above Chihiro in the next second, his sword crackling with scattered red and black lightning. He said in a deep voice,

"

"Gods, beware!"

Hearing the familiar name of the move, Chiga thought to himself that as expected of Roger's crew, this move was indeed passed down from him.

A black staff crackling with purplish-black lightning appeared in Qianhe's hand. He swung it at the descending Divine Shield, letting out a rather wicked shout.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

Shanks' lips twitched in mid-air, but his grip didn't loosen. If he dared to be distracted at a time like this, his fate would be dire.

boom!

A jet-black energy sphere formed between the two weapons, emanating terrifying energy fluctuations. The ground could no longer withstand it and collapsed entirely.

At this moment, the surrounding terrain was completely destroyed, all the trees fell to the ground, and the collapsed ground had become a basin.

With a forceful swing, Shanks broke the stalemate and used the momentum to retreat back to his original position.

Upon landing, Shanks glanced at his surroundings out of the corner of his eye and was speechless. The intensity of the battle had exceeded his expectations, and if this continued, it would be difficult to end the situation.

Shanks opened his mouth, wanting to try a truce; he really didn't want to fight anymore.

However, when he looked at Chiga, his expression changed drastically.

At this moment, Chiga's Rinnegan had transformed into two dazzling purple bolts of lightning. He raised his elemental arm and unleashed a thick bolt of lightning into the sky.

Lightning struck the clouds, and thunderclouds instantly filled the entire sky, with occasional booming thunder.

The strange phenomenon in the sky made Shanks tense. He knew that Chiga possessed the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and that this top-tier Logia-type fruit, in the hands of a strong person like Chiga, would have its power increased exponentially.

Although he doesn't eat Devil Fruits, he doesn't deny that a powerful Devil Fruit can amplify one's strength.

The commotion in the sky gradually subsided, and everything seemed to return to silence, with only the occasional flickering purple arcs of electricity seemingly foreshadowing something.

Shanks gripped his sword tightly, his Observation Haki frantically issuing warnings. He sensed that he had been locked onto by an unknown danger, and the source of this feeling was in the sky.

The lightning in Chiga's eyes dissipated, revealing a meaningful smile. He raised his hand and made a downward gesture, saying softly,

"Five Hundred Million Volts Purple Scale".

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge purple Qilin head appeared in the thunderclouds. It seemed to have its own intelligence and stared intently at Shanks below as soon as it appeared.

The inspiration for this move comes from Sasuke's Kirin in Naruto, but Chiga's Purple Kirin is much more powerful than Kirin, and it doesn't need to consider the weather conditions or release Fire Release in advance.

More importantly, this attack is extremely fast. Without special abilities, it is almost impossible to dodge it with the naked body. In the original work, Sasuke used this move to force Itachi to use his Susanoo.

Shanks was also startled by the power of this attack and broke out in a cold sweat. He activated his Haki to the fullest extent, knowing that if he didn't use his full strength, he would really die this time.

However, before he was fully prepared, the purple unicorn in the sky had already fallen at supersonic speed, swallowing up everything that could be seen on the ground.

The area where the two fought was no longer visible; only the blinding lightning that filled the entire space remained. After the lightning subsided, everything returned to silence, leaving behind only a scorched earth.

Chapter 136 Shanks Loses an Arm, Im Makes His Move

Chiga stood there with his arms crossed. He had been within the range of "Purple Scale's" attack, but as a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, lightning was an integral part of his body, making it impossible for him to be harmed by his own attack.

On the other hand, Shanks is in a much worse state right now; in fact, he could be described as looking disheveled.

His once smooth red hair was now a mix of red and black, all the strands curled up by the lightning strike. His upper body clothes had completely disappeared, and even his shorts had one leg blown off, almost reaching his thigh.

However, the most noticeable change in Shanks is his missing arm.

His left arm was gone, and charred wounds could be seen at the break. He was kneeling on the ground, supporting himself with his sword with his remaining arm, his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Chiga wasn't about to let Shanks just stand there as some kind of "thinker." He lowered his arms and walked towards Shanks, his body instantly covered in Destruction Armor, ready to deliver the final blow to Shanks.

Shanks, who was kneeling on the ground, also sensed the approaching danger. He suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were flashing with an eerie red light.

"Um?"

Chika stopped in his tracks. The aura emanating from Shanks gave him a very familiar feeling, just like the one he had felt in Mary Geoise.

The red light in Shanks' eyes shone for a moment and then gradually went out. He got up from the ground and looked at Chika with an icy expression.

He was truly furious, because he had almost died from that Purple Scale attack. Although he managed to block the attack by pouring all his strength into his left arm at the last moment, he paid the price of losing his left arm, a price that was undeniably heavy.

Chiga certainly didn't care about Shanks' feelings. In his opinion, Shanks with both arms intact looked awkward no matter how you looked at him, but now that he had lost an arm, he looked much more pleasing to the eye.

However, recalling the unusual thing she had sensed from Shanks earlier, Chika casually remarked...

"Red-Haired Shanks, what kind of relationship do you have with the World Government?"

Upon hearing this, Shanks' pupils contracted. He had indeed maintained contact with the World Government, but it was an extremely secretive matter. How did Uchiha Chika know about it?

This matter is of utmost importance, and he absolutely cannot allow it to become a reality. Thinking this, Shanks said sternly.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Oh? It seems I guessed wrong. Well then, I was thinking you were from the World Government, but since you're not, I'm relieved."

What are you worried about?

"I'll take care of you without worry."

After saying that, Chika disappeared from Shanks' sight and reappeared above him in the next second.

Shanks' pupils contracted as he realized what was happening, and he was about to swing his sword to strike. However, Chiga was faster. At this moment, his right leg had already transformed into an elemental form, turning into a purple lightning bolt that struck Shanks' severed arm from above.

boom!

Purple lightning bolts erupted from beneath Chiga's feet, causing the ground to collapse once more. Shanks, unable to withstand the attack any longer, finally collapsed to the ground.

Stepping on Shanks' chest, Chiga didn't intend to say anything to him this time. Instead, she raised her hand and slammed it down hard on Shanks' chest.

Suddenly, a black hole appeared where Shanks was lying, swallowing his body but excluding Chika.

Shanks' body disappeared, and Chiga's attack missed its mark, with poor Daichi once again bearing the brunt of the punch.

Chiga stared blankly at the spot where Shanks had disappeared, his face expressionless, as if talking to himself.

"Yomihirasaka? This is getting more and more interesting. Are you finally about to lose your temper?"

Mary Geoise, Among the Flowers

A figure sat upright on the throne; it was Im, the true mastermind behind the World Government.

His figure was still hidden in the shadows, with only his red eyes with strange patterns visible, as he looked down at the ground.

A black hole appeared on the ground without warning, like a black plate that served Shanks before disappearing.

Shanks struggled to his feet. Although he had been saved by the black hole, there was no surprise or joy on his face. As soon as he stood up, he stared intently at Im.

Im was also looking at Shanks, but his gaze was so cold, as if he were looking at an ant.

Shanks and Im stared at each other for a moment, then Shanks revealed a mocking smile and shouted at Im.

"What's wrong? The usually mysterious Lord Im actually stepped in to save a lowly pirate like me? Is he reluctant to let me die?"

The moment Shanks finished speaking, his expression suddenly turned extremely painful, and he knelt down again, facing Im on the high platform in a kneeling posture.

This posture made Shanks feel incredibly humiliated, but even more so, a deep sense of powerlessness. He lowered his head, as if resigning himself to his fate.

Seeing that Shanks had calmed down, Im, sitting on the throne, slowly spoke.

"I remember I already told you about the danger of Uchiha Chika, why didn't you listen to my advice and still insisted on fighting him?"

"This was an accident. I never expected him to suddenly appear in a small windmill village."

“Nothing is unexpected. He has similar abilities to me, and he can also teleport. Distance is not very important to him. The reason you were beaten up like this is entirely because of your arrogance. You actually dared to go to the East China Sea alone.”
