On a desert island.

In the middle of the island.

Luo Xiu and Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, stood facing each other.

They are several tens of meters apart.

Next to the island.

Hawkeye and the rest of the Red-Haired Pirates stood watching closely as the battle between the two was about to begin.

Especially the crew members of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Their eyes were fixed on him, somewhat puzzled as to why the captain would agree to Roche's request.

After all, Luo Xiu was just a rookie pirate.

Although, this newcomer is stronger than many of the veterans.

But after all, her status is what it is.

The idea of ​​a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea) fighting a rookie pirate is outrageous and would be explosive anywhere.

That's really beneath their dignity.

Hawkeye could somewhat understand Shanks' behavior; it was a tacit understanding between top-tier experts.

Just like how he went to great lengths to seek out Shanks for a fight.

It's just a bit of a pity that I couldn't continue to fight against Luo Xiu.

However, seeing Shanks, who rarely gets to fight, in a battle makes it... less of a disappointment.

After all, Shanks couldn't be considered a sure winner in swordsmanship alone.

From Shanks' fight with Rosh, Hawkeye could roughly estimate the level of competition he would face if he were to fight Rosh...

Vice-captain Beckman shares the same idea as Hawkeye.

"Whoo~"

He held the cigar between his fingers and exhaled a puff of smoke.

The rifle that had been aimed at Roche was now tucked into his waistband.

The captain's battle, regardless of the outcome, will not allow anyone to interfere, so there's no need for firearms.

"It seems the captain values ​​Luo Xiu highly!" he said slowly.

For anyone the captain admires, the difference in social status is practically negligible.

Hawkeye glanced at him, knowing exactly what he meant.

"More than that, I'm curious about the outcome."

"Mihawk!"

"Is there anything to be curious about?" Beckman smiled at Hawkeye's words, seemingly unconvinced.

It's true that Luo Xiu is very strong, but he doesn't think he can be compared to the captain.

Even so, he injured Admiral Kizaru.

The other crew members shared the same opinion.

"The captain's strength is such that even an admiral would stand here!"

“There can only be one outcome!” Beckman continued, “Let’s see how long Roche can hold out!”

“Is that really so!” Hawkeye said, leaning against a tree, a glint of light in his eyes.

The brief exchange with Luo Xiu just now already gave us a glimpse into his abilities.

Although neither side exerted their full strength, it is still evident that Morgans' description of Roche in the newspaper was not exaggerated.

He naturally believed that Shanks was stronger.

But I still felt a little uneasy.

.......

"here we go!"

Eagle Eyes looked towards the center of the island and frowned.

On the island, the two men's momentum was steadily rising.

An atmosphere of grimness and desolation.

At the touch of a hair.

Buzz!

The trembling sound of the sword blade rang out.

Shanks drew his Griffin from his waist, held the sword in one hand, his gaze piercing through space as he looked directly at Luo Xiu, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Luo Xiu!"

"The strongest newcomer!"

"I wonder if their strength is as monstrous as the rumors say!"

"You'll find out soon enough!" Luo Xiu said slowly, his gaze meeting Shanks's.

"But fists and feet don't discriminate; they won't give you any face!"

Redhead smiled.

Suddenly I find Rochefoucauld quite interesting.

But the next moment.

A glint flashed in his eyes.

Luo Xiu wanted to challenge him, and he also wanted to see if this strongest rookie pirate truly deserved the title of Fifth Emperor.

brush!

Shanks raised his longsword high.

His black trench coat moved without any wind.

Although it was a single arm, it exuded a powerful aura.

Dust formed a circle around him and slowly rose.

The next instant.

With a single hand sweeping across the void, a sharp sword wave, carrying black sword energy, pierced through the sky and shot straight towards Luo Xiu.

"The speed is good!"

Luo Xiu's expression hardened, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

The words just fell.

He slammed his toes on the ground.

It transformed into a black lightning bolt, closing the distance between them.

In the blink of an eye, he was beside Shanks.

With one hand above and one below, they locked onto Shanks' waist and neck.

Attack their weak points first.

Shanks' eyes flashed.

He could see through Luo Xiu's thoughts.

Without dodging or evading, he swung the Griffin in his hand to the side.

hum-

Another burst of sword energy shot out.

It sliced ​​through the air, blocking Luo Xiu's attack.

.........

Chapter 76 An arrogant fool!

Luo Xiu's expression shifted slightly, his eyes fixed intently on the sword energy that was so close at hand.

next moment.

With his body in mid-air, he twisted at an uncanny angle using his waist as the point of leverage, dodging the attack accompanied by black shockwaves, and landed behind Shanks.

With a cold expression, he delivered another punch.

"when....."

Griffin was lifted up by Shanks and used as a shield behind him.

The immense force transmitted through the sword caused his arm to tremble.

"Good strength!"

Shanks' lips curled up slightly, and he flicked his wrist upwards with a sudden upward flick.

The sound of swords clashing rang out, and Luo Xiu was deflected by the blocked fist, his body flying to the side.

However, this is just the beginning.

The instant his toes touched the ground.

The magic of the Dragon Talisman is triggered.

The torrent of power coursed through the body's limbs and bones, finally converging in the arms and then being transferred to the palms.

A huge fireball was launched from the center of his hand.

Having fused with the power of origin, Luo Xiu can do more than just spew out explosive flames from his mouth.
