That's the legendary pirate Shiki the Golden Lion, who escaped from Impel Down a few years ago and had a grudge against Wood!
After escaping from Impel Down, Shiki fought a fierce battle with Wood, and by the time he left, he had exhausted his body to its limit.
He was eventually rescued by a monkey on a deserted island, and now that monkey is a member of his newly formed "Flying Pirates".
Because of the grudge he had with Wood, Skeeter had always wanted to get revenge, but he couldn't find Wood's whereabouts.
Having learned of Wood's exact whereabouts, Shiki, who had some grudge against him, naturally couldn't help but get involved.
Shiki had no reason to miss out on this opportunity: he could avenge the loss of the Seastone pistol from years ago, steal a large sum of Berries, and expand his pirate crew.
Out of caution, Shiki had been watching from the clouds, but the appearance of the Red-Haired Pirates, coupled with Shanks' words, finally made him unable to hold back and show up.
"Back then, I wouldn't even give a second glance to those brats in Roger's crew, and now they can talk so arrogantly."
"You want to protect this brat from the navy, is that it? Then let me see if you have the ability!"
The Golden Lion's severed legs have now been replaced by two great swords, "Sakura Ju" and "Kureki".
As it floated off the ship, its feet unleashed a series of slashing attacks in the air, attempting to cut the Rod Voss into several pieces!
The current Golden Lion is quite different from the weakened state he was in when he first escaped Impel Down. Although he is definitely much weaker now that both his legs are broken compared to his prime.
However, every strike he unleashed at this moment possessed the power of a great swordsman!
Shiki's strength far surpasses that of Chinjao, so Shanks didn't take it lightly and drew his Griffin to meet him head-on.
The clash between the two instantly created huge waves on the sea, and the sword energy that spread everywhere easily cut down the pirate ships of those pirate crews that wanted to take advantage of the chaos.
Although Wood didn't understand why Shanks would help him, it was clearly inappropriate for him, as the center of the storm, to stand by and watch.
But just as Wood was using Moonwalk to join Shanks' battle with Shiki and help Shanks defeat Shiki, a bullet shot at Wood's position at an extremely tricky angle, directly interrupting his attack.
Although firearms exist in the world of One Piece, due to the backwardness of the era, neither cannons nor spears generally have much deterrent effect on strong individuals.
However, the bullet that had just been fired at Wood was anything but ordinary. Not only did it accurately predict Wood's movements with its extremely strong Observation Haki, but it was also covered with Armament Haki.
Ordinary users of Armament Haki use it to harden parts of their body to increase their attack and defense capabilities.
However, this is not the only way to use Armament Haki; it can also be used to enhance certain objects.
Although the hardening effect cannot be retained when separated from the body, the Haki attached to it still has the effect of increasing the power of the attack.
Of course, mastering the use of this domineering aura is not something just anyone can do; it requires a certain level of proficiency in it.
"What do you mean, sir? Isn't Shanks your captain?"
If it had been someone else who attacked Wood, he would have retaliated, but the fact that the person who shot him was from the Rod Voss puzzled him.
He wanted to help Shanks, but the members of the "Red-Haired Pirates" stopped him.
Moreover, the person who stopped him was none other than Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the "Red-Haired Pirates".
A guy with a scar on his face who looks very low-key and ordinary, but rumors say that his strength is not much weaker than Shanks'.
"Since our captain wants to help you, then our 'Red-Haired Pirates' will naturally do our best."
"Staying here will only attract more enemies. You'd be better off leaving the New World as soon as possible. As for the guys here, the Red-Haired Pirates will take care of them all."
As Beckman spoke, he raised his two guns again and fired one shot each in different directions.
One shot forced back Green Pepper, who was trying to charge forward, while the other shot headshot a guy whose bounty had already exceeded 200 million Berries!
Seeing the astonishing strength Beckman displayed, and then glancing at Shanks and Shiki the Golden Lion, who were locked in a fierce battle on an island, Wood hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to accept Beckman's suggestion and use Moonwalk to turn around and leave.
Just as Beckman said, most of the pirate crews here are after him, and if he stays here, he'll only get more and more trouble.
The Red-Haired Pirates are one of the future "Four Emperors," so even if they face Shiki the Golden Lion, they shouldn't have any problems.
"Although I don't know why you're helping me, I, Wood, will remember this favor that the Red-Haired Pirates owe Shanks!"
With his "Moonwalk" ability, Wood moved through the air as if it were flat ground. At the speed of a pirate ship, they couldn't even see his taillights.
Once he returns to the first half of the Grand Line via the Red Line, the vast ocean will make it extremely difficult for pirate crews to find Wood and Robin again.
Of course, when Wood was about to leave, some pirate crews were unwilling to let him go, but without a doubt, in the end, all of these pirate crews were buried at the bottom of the sea by Wood.
After returning to the Grand Line, Wood quickly found Robin and the others, guided by the Life Paper.
The next day, a major news story broke out on the entire high seas.
The Red-Haired Pirates, along with the Marine traitor Wood at the entrance to the New World, fought against more than fifty pirate crews before finally retreating unscathed.
Among these pirate crews, the strongest character is Shiki the Golden Lion of the Flying Pirates. Shanks fought him for hundreds of rounds and not only did he not lose, but he even suppressed and injured him.
It was for this reason that the Red-Haired Pirates made a name for themselves in the New World, and Shanks' name officially rose to become one of the top powerhouses on the New World's high seas.
Chapter 235 The simulation begins, a new world!
"It seems that Shanks is about to compete for the title of one of the Four Emperors."
The feat of one pirate crew fighting against more than fifty pirate crews earned the Red-Haired Pirates considerable fame.
Looking at today's Newsbird newspaper in his hand, Wood's expression turned somewhat dazed.
To be honest, Wood wasn't surprised that Shanks could fight Shiki the Golden Lion, but he didn't expect that Shanks could suppress Shiki and even force him to retreat.
Wood had witnessed the slash Shiki unleashed before he left, and it was far stronger than the one he had delivered when he first escaped Impel Down.
Even now, Wood's win rate against Shiki the Golden Lion is at most 50/50, and that's with the 'Heart of God' at the cost of his life.
The fact that Shanks was able to suppress Shiki the Golden Lion and even fight against multiple pirate crews for a long time afterward shows that Shanks' strength is much greater than Shiki's.
The Four Emperors are about to emerge, and the balance of power on the high seas is gradually stabilizing.
Now that I have the idea of starting a company, I must have enough strength to get a share of the pie in the new world.
Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, and even Shanks who rose to prominence later, not only possessed formidable individual strength, but their pirate crews were also incredibly powerful.
Even Doflamingo, who was defeated by Wood, had many formidable fighters under his command, the Donquixote Family.
The Nirvana Pirates had only been established for a short time, and Russ and his crew had little opportunity to train.
For now, Wood can only rely on becoming stronger to support the entire pirate crew.
"Robin, I want to lock myself away and cultivate for a while, which could be as short as three to five days, or as long as ten days to half a month."
"You'll be in charge of things on the ship during this time. Also, here are the blueprints for the ancient weapon 'Pluto.' If you have time, try translating them."
After arranging things on the ship and throwing all the blueprints for "Pluto" at Robin, Wood returned to his room, locked the door, and began his so-called ascetic practice.
In fact, he wasn't lying. His desire to cultivate and become stronger wasn't a lie. It's just that his cultivation method was somewhat special, and it wasn't even in this plane.
"Do you want to claim the reward for the quest 'Saving the Boy in Silence'?"
"Yes!"
"Consume and use the Multiverse Simulation opportunity?"
"Yes!"
After confirming twice, the space in front of Wood seemed to freeze in time, and the familiar countdown timer appeared before him.
Ding! The Multiverse Life Simulation is about to begin. This plane is about to enter a frozen state. The host will be traversing planes within five seconds. Please be prepared.
Results of this selection process: Jobless Rebirth
Countdown to transmigration begins: 5, 4, 3... 1! The multiverse simulation life begins!
In a small village in the southern part of the Kingdom of Ashura, Wood struggled to open his eyes as a gentle voice called out to him.
The first thing that caught his eye was a young man and woman with dazzling blond hair.
"Paul, isn't our child a little strange? Although this is my first time having a child, I've heard that babies are supposed to cry and scream when they are born, right?"
But look at us, our two children aren't crying or fussing at all.
The young woman who spoke was very beautiful and had a very gentle tone. However, in Wood's current view, she seemed a bit too "big".
"Seneca, don't overthink it. I've already had a check-up, and our baby is healthy."
The fact that they didn't cry or make a fuss shows that they are all strong men, just like their excellent father.
The blond man flexed his biceps, boasting that earned him a roll of the eyes from Senis.
"Alright, Ruth, and Wood, it's time for dinner."
Ruth is the older brother, so he should give way to his younger brother. That's why Wood went first.
Hearing the numerous names suddenly appear beside him, Wood was initially searching his mind for related anime series, but his attention was quickly drawn to the two mountains of flesh.
Furthermore, the other party shoved one of the "mountains of flesh" into Wood's mouth without saying a word.
It was at this moment that Wood understood why everything around him seemed unexpectedly large: he had become a newborn baby, and Paul and Senis in front of him were his parents.
This time, he was born into the Greratter family as a twin brother, whose elder brother was named Rudius Greratter, and his name was Wood Greratter.
Five years have passed, and Rudy and Wood, who were born into the Grellatt family, have grown from babies into children.
Wood had heard of the anime "Mushoku Tensei" in his previous life, but because it was a new anime at the time, his knowledge of the plot was very limited.
Therefore, he does not have the advantage of being a "prophet" in this world. To maximize the value of the Sims, Wood feels that he needs to explore this world slowly and grow while ensuring his own safety.
Based on the information Wood currently possesses, he only knows that although the Grellatt family lives in such a remote rural area, they are definitely not ordinary people.
First of all, Paul and Senis's words and actions always carried some aristocratic etiquette and habits.
