Pirates: Improving your strength depends entirely on watching the fun!

He led his men to guard an island that must be passed through to reach De Clifton.

"Hey, Shanks, it shouldn't be such a big fuss. It's just Xia's guess." Lu asked while eating a large piece of meat.

"It would be fine if it was just a guess, but the vice-captain was able to find us." Shanks said, raising his eyebrows.

"Why do you say that?"

"When he left, he said that he was truly retiring and didn't plan to get involved in anything anymore, but in this case, he took action."

Thinking back to the past, Shanks was also very emotional. Things that Rayleigh had to take action on must be of great importance.

Lu looked at Beckman, who shrugged and said, "It is indeed worrying. The war between the Celestial Dragons and Xia seems to be about to start in full swing."

Jesus Bu on the side said with a smile: "Anyway, I support Xia. So far, they have only targeted the Tianlong people. What about you?"

"It's because they only attack the Celestial Dragons, so it's strange. Why would Xia, who is so mobile, hate the Celestial Dragons so much? And I don't know why, but I always feel that Xia has other purposes." Shanks said.

"Shanks, do you know something?" Beckman also looked at Shanks, this guy who seemed to take nothing seriously and had been a little nervous recently.

Shanks didn't say anything. He had tried to rob Xia in the New World before, but failed. This became a thorn in his heart. He always felt that he seemed to have missed something important.

And Xia, now that he has obtained such a thing, who knows what kind of impact it will bring.

This was probably why he had been so uneasy lately.

And now, the Celestial Dragons have gotten involved again and are targeting Xia. Could it be that they have discovered something?

But now he had no idea at all, which made Shanks feel very uncomfortable.

"So this time, we must do everything we can to find out what they are trying to do."

Shanks started to get serious, and this feeling also affected the other team members.

Beckman and the others looked at Shanks and cheered themselves up. This time, they were definitely not going to just fight and then leave.

On the other side, Saint Zhijis's ship was heading towards Deklizhi Island, and they did not receive the news that the front had been blocked by Red Hair.

However, Xia Zheteng had a premonition that he seemed to be targeted by something, which was quite a headache.

Is something really going to happen?

Chapter 280 Red Hair is Coming

The calmness of the sea was broken. When it seemed that they would reach De Clifton Island in half a day, several warships appeared in front of them. The bow and the skull and crossbones flag of the leading ship indicated that it was Red Hair's ship.

Standing on the bow deck were the Red Hair Pirates' leader Shanks and many of their officers.

Xia Zheteng and his companions also quickly arrived at the bow of the ship.

In fact, when he met Red Hair, Xia Zheteng was still very happy. This guy would have no problem stopping him, but the other people on his ship might not be a match for the other members of the Red Hair Group.

"Is that a pirate? This is the first time I see one. Who is he?" Zhi Jisisheng pretended to know nothing and acted very innocent.

"Red-haired Shanks is a troublesome guy." Xia Zheteng also drew out his sword, looked ahead, and said, "The opponent is fighting with a whole group. I am no match for him alone, so be prepared to escape."

"Okay, no problem." Looking at Xia Zheteng's back, Zhi Jisisheng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.

Xia Zheteng felt a chill on his back and felt as if he was being stared at.

What’s more important is that behind Xia Zheteng, there is only Zhi Jisisheng. The others are already standing under the bow deck, ready to fight.

Xia Zheteng did not look back, but he became more certain of one thing in his heart: the person behind him wanted to harm him.

"We meet again." Shanks took a step forward.

Before Xia Zheteng could speak, Zhi Jisisheng behind him suddenly said, "It's you, how is it possible?"

Xia Zheteng just sneered. As expected, Zhi Jisisheng must have seen something.

After all, Red Hair was a baby of the Celestial Dragons who was taken away during the battle in God Valley. Jigisei should know something about it.

But this has nothing to do with the present. Xia Zheteng stepped forward and said, "Shanks, I advise you to leave. You should know that you can't stop the Celestial Dragons' ship just because you want to. Don't bring trouble upon yourself."

Shanks frowned, feeling something was wrong. He also knew Xia Zheteng. After all, the two had been dealing with each other for many years.

This guy's tone was so harsh that it felt like he was trying to stop me from getting on the boat.

But just as he knew Xia Zheteng, Xia Zheteng also knew him. Such tough words would only arouse the red-haired man's desire to win, so he had to go on board to take a look.

So Red Hair also drew out his Griffin.

"This is our territory after all, and you are not a large-scale operation. You want to stop me? You are just a boat, but you are not qualified."

"Really? Then we'll only know after we fight." Xia Zheteng said calmly.

As he stared into Shanks' eyes, the domineering auras of the two men kept clashing, and they were surprisingly evenly matched, which surprised the red-haired crew member.

You know, in this sea, there are not many people whose domineering color can match Red Hair.

Then, Red Hair and Xia Zheteng attacked at the same time. Both of them were masters of swordsmanship, so they fought with swordsmanship.

Xia Zheteng's Xia Jiesheng collided with Shanks's Griffin, and the air around them surged.

The huge cutting force created a trench on the sea surface, and then sea water quickly filled in. This change caused the two ships to sway up and down. The crew members on the ships held on tightly to the places on the boat to avoid being thrown into the sea.

"This is such a reckless fight. These two are too strong." One of the CP0s protected Zhi Jisi Sheng and said at the same time.

"No, if they continue to attack like this, our ship won't be able to withstand it. After all, we never intended to take this ship back from the beginning." said another CP0.

"We have to retreat, but the things on this ship can only target Red Hair, do you want to..."

"No." Zhi Jisisheng immediately stopped him, "Let them take the things away, and don't activate the explosive device."

The three CP0s all looked at Zhijisisheng. This was different from the original plan.

Didn't they say that after stopping at Dekridge Island, they detonated the ship's explosive device during the evacuation?

If Xia appears at that time, he will be targeted directly. Even if Xia does not appear, the huge explosion will turn the poison on the ship into smoke and dust and float towards the island.

In this way, the entire Deklizhi Island could be infected.

At that time, these merchants will carry these viruses around without knowing it, causing the infection to spread, and maybe even cleanse some pirates from the New World.

Of course, it would be best if Xia could be cleansed here. Even if not, there would be no loss for the Celestial Dragons, only the lives of some untouchables.

But at the critical moment, Ji Sisheng still backed down.

"Follow orders. I will report this matter back. Just take the thing."

"Yes." CP0 just wanted to faithfully carry out orders, so he did not object. One of them moved on the swaying boat.

He quickly entered the boat and after a while, took out a small bag.

Zhi Jisisheng put the small bag on himself and said, "Prepare to retreat. This plan has failed."

"Yes." Three CP0s protected Zhijisisheng and retreated to the rear.

The other CP members, however, pressed forward, looking as if they were ready to fight to the death.

The other members of the Red Hair Fleet also took a few steps forward and looked at the CP members on the ship.

"Bang." After a gunshot, a CP holding a sniper rifle on the mast of the ship was killed and rolled into the sea. It was Jesus who fired the shot.

Then, both sides seemed to be activated by the gunshot and rushed towards each other.

The melee soon broke out.

Of course, Zhijisisheng is protected by three CP0s. They still have some strength, and there are so many CP8s and CP6s protecting him in front of him, so it’s not a big problem.

When Xia Zheteng got to this point, he curled his lips. That's right, Red Hair's interception came at the right time.

Moreover, the guarding force on the ship was obviously weak. In the end, he just needed to take Zhijisisheng away. As for the others, he didn't care.

If this ship is handed over to Red Hair, I think we should be able to discover something.

Thinking of this, Xia Zheteng used a powerful knife to force the red-haired man to retreat a distance to defend himself.

"Let's stop here today. I have a mission, so I won't play with you here anymore."

"Oh, you want to escape so soon? The question is, can you escape?"

"That depends on how much you value this ship."

After saying that, Xia Zheteng quickly retreated and came directly to CP0 and Zhi Jisisheng.

"Hurry up, this ship can't be defended."

Seeing other CP members being killed by the red-haired crew, these CP0s realized that it was time to leave, otherwise they would have to leave their lives behind.

Chapter 281 Xia Zheteng is poisoned

There is a small escape boat behind the ship.

After taking Zhijisisheng onto the boat, the three CP0s didn't wait for Xia Zheteng and sailed directly away.

Xia Zheteng blocked Red Hair's pursuit, and the battle between the two had reached the stern of the ship.

At this time, a CP0 on the boat said: "What a pity! If it explodes, everyone on the boat will become the fuse."

Zhi Jisisheng glared at the CP0, snorted coldly and said, "I told you, I will report this matter."

"I'm sorry, I spoke too much." CP0 apologized immediately. To them, the orders of the Celestial Dragons are the top priority.

On the boat, after Red Hair and Xia Zheteng fought again, Xia Zheteng had already reached the end of the stern.

"Goodbye, I'll give you this boat. I hope it will be a good treasure."

As he said that, Xia Zheteng flew back directly, took a moon step in the air, and chased after the boat.

The red-haired man also put away his sword and did not pursue. Instead, he frowned and said, "Xia mobilized so many troops to invite the Four Emperors to take action, but this side simply gave up. What's going on?"

Xia Zheteng quickly caught up with the boat, flew onto it, and looked back. It could be said that all the remaining people from the CP department had been abandoned.

But for them, this is normal. They appear to serve these dragons. They are willing to sacrifice their lives at this time.

Xia Zheteng got on the boat, looked at Zhi Jisi Sheng, and said, "The situation has changed now. I didn't expect that the Four Emperors would come here to hijack our ship."

"I really didn't expect that they would dare to take action against Lieutenant General Xia Zheteng given his reputation."

Xia Zheteng just gave a bitter smile, but he was very happy in his heart. This was what he hoped for.

"Under the current circumstances, we have to give up going to Deklige. Return? Or do you have any new ideas?"

"Let's go back. There's no point in going there. We just need to go back. I hope we can meet Xia on the way." Zhi Jisisheng suddenly smiled, and then put his arm around Xia Zheteng's shoulders. "Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant General Xia Zheteng."

Xia Zheteng ignored this and calmly shrank his shoulders, but did not shake off the hand that was around his shoulders.

The warships in the distance fell silent, and most of the CP organization's members were captured alive.

Red Hair took his cadres to the cabin, and in a warehouse at the bottom of the ship, they finally found what they were looking for.

"This is..." When Hongo saw the thing, his eyes widened.

"What? What is this?" Lu took two steps forward, but when he was about to touch the thing, Hongo spoke.

“It’s a virus.”

Although Lu was fat, he was still very agile. He quickly retreated and hid behind.

"Virus?"

Hongo nodded, pointed to a red skull logo on the box, and said, "This is the virus logo."

Then he pointed to the marks on several special wooden boxes nearby and said, "These are marks for explosives, which means...wait, could it be..."

Wow! Before he could finish, Beckman stepped forward and forcefully dismantled a wooden box containing explosives.

Afterwards, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these explosives were not activated, which meant that there would be no explosion here.

"The question is, what are they going to do with so many virus boxes and explosives?" Lu asked, still a little confused about what was going on.

Beckman narrowed his eyes and said, "If this virus is highly contagious, then if it explodes in Deklich..."

Shanks' eyes narrowed. If that happened, the entire Merchant Island would be infected with the virus.

However, as they wander around, they can infect other people.

Although, generally speaking, viruses will lose their effectiveness after spreading several times, and some large pirate groups must have ship doctors who may be able to deal with this virus.

But before that, no one knows how many people will die from this virus.

No wonder Xia wanted to change his business route, and no wonder he wanted to ask him for help.

And it was obviously aimed at Xia. If Xia had taken action, the things on the ship would have exploded long ago.
