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

So generally speaking, the Four Emperors can often resolve issues through intimidation, but today, things don't seem to be going well.

The two overlords confronted each other in the air, and the domineering waves continued to spread around.

Xia Zheteng and Red Hair's boats were both damaged by the impact of these two domineering energies.

"Hey, hey, we're not really going to fight here, are we?" Beckman said in a deep voice.

"Shanks, I have to tell you, Raftel, I will definitely go. At the same time, I also have to tell you that you can't stop me. If you really want to stop me, then you must be prepared to sacrifice your life."

Xia Zheteng's voice was cold, giving people the feeling that he was not lying.

Even if a red-haired man stood in front of him, he would kill him and continue moving forward.

Shanks snorted, gripped the hilt tightly, and said, "At least not now."

"No one can stop me, whether it's the Celestial Dragons or the Four Emperors, Shanks, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Shanks' heart suddenly moved, and he only found out later that he was a Celestial Dragon.

The question is, how did Xia Zheteng know this?

Xia Zheteng’s words were very clear. No matter if he stood in front as a Celestial Dragon or as one of the Four Emperors, he could not stop Xia Zheteng from going to Raftel.

This is a problem. Looking at the situation in front of him, Shanks also understood that if he really stopped him like this, a battle with Xia Zheteng would be inevitable.

Red Hair's face has always been very useful, but I didn't expect to lose face here. People ignore you. How to deal with this?

"Shanks, it's best not to fight. We may not be able to withstand Xia's full strength."

Beckman is still very sober. Although there are only three Xias here, with Xia Zheteng in the team, their combat effectiveness will not be too weak.

It is easy to defeat the opponent, but it is almost impossible to kill Xia Zheteng and the other three.

If we let these three of them escape, then the next time they come, it is very likely that all members of Xia's team will be here.

By then, even the Red Hair Pirates may not be able to withstand it.

Xia’s fighting power is too high. If any one of the Four Emperors were to be picked out alone, I’m afraid he would not be a match for Xia.

After hearing what Beckman said, the red-haired man narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering whether he should retreat.

Blackbeard is the most sinister of the Four Emperors. Although he is looked down upon by the other three emperors, it must be said that he is a very strong existence both in terms of combat power and strength.

Red Hair also didn't want his pirate group to be exposed because of the battle with Xia Zheteng.

Moreover, Xia Zheteng's momentum was becoming stronger and stronger, so strong that even he was afraid of it.

"Come on, let's fight it out one-on-one on the island." Shanks thought about it and finally adopted a compromise method.

In a one-on-one situation, even if he was injured, he still had the trump cards to deal with the other four emperors. But if the entire group fought hard with the opponent, it would be hard to say.

Xia Zheteng and Shanks flew up and headed towards the island.

"This is the best outcome." Beckman looked at Ace standing on the boat and said quietly.

He was aware of Ace's combat capability. If it was a full team battle, Ace could be a general.

Xia Zheteng and Shanks quickly landed on the shore.

Shanks extended his hand, and Criffin pulled it out, pointing it at Xia Zheteng: "In the last battle, we didn't win or lose, but this time, I must do my best to stop you. Raftel is not something you should covet."

"Don't make it sound like Raftel is yours, Shanks. Your plan is your business, and I want to go to Raftel because I have something to do. No one can stop me."

"Then the outcome will be decided by physical combat." Shanks also smiled slightly, and then his momentum increased again.

For a moment, the island was filled with domineering energy, blowing the surrounding trees, and the entire island seemed to be shaking.

At this time, Xia Zheteng opened his own panel.

Watching Luffy and the others fighting on Fishman Island, my own excitement level also increased a lot.

Now it is added on top of the divine avoidance.

In the complete state of divine avoidance, Xia Zheteng raised the black knife in his hand and pressed his domineering aura into the black knife.

In other words, the current black sword can still withstand such domineering power. If it were an ordinary sword, it would have been shattered into pieces long ago.

Even if there is a big sword, it is estimated that with such strong domineering power, it will be difficult to use the sword after the battle.

The supreme sword is not only sharp, but also has something to do with the amount of domineering power it can withstand.

Shanks also acted in the same way. The two looked at each other for a long time, and then suddenly moved together and rushed towards each other.

"God avoids."

This was the first time two people used Divine Rescue at the same time.

The two knives collided with each other, a loud roar was heard, and the force brought by the divine avoidance knocked both people away.

Shanks rushed into the forest, constantly breaking trees with his body. He stopped only after knocking down more than a dozen trees.

There seemed to be several cuts on his body, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth, but he still insisted on standing up, and after shaking a few times, he finally stood firm.

Then he slowly walked forward.

Xia Zheteng on the other side was also knocked away, but he headed towards the sea.

Boom! The sea water stirred up huge waves several meters high, and Xia Zheteng's men disappeared directly on the sea level.

This is equivalent to being blocked by all your strength on the concrete ground. If you don't die, you will be seriously injured.

Beckman glanced at Xia Zheteng's boat and said, "Your captain has fallen into the water, aren't you going to rescue him?"

"No need, he will come up by himself." Tiger was the one who was most familiar with Xia Zheteng. He knew that although that guy had a devil fruit, he would not be restrained by sea water, which was also a very strange phenomenon.

Sure enough, the sea water exploded violently.

Xia Zheteng stepped out of the sea and jumped out of the sea using the Moon Step.

Standing in the air, he then quickly rushed to the island again.

This time, all the members of the Red Hair Pirates were dumbfounded.

"As I remember, he should be a devil fruit user, right?" Lu said.

"That's why we're in trouble." Beckman said dimly. This situation was indeed something they had not imagined.

Chapter 417 Red Hair Retreat

Xia Zheteng returned to the island, and Shanks stood up at that moment. The two looked at each other, and Shanks was a little confused.

He did that on purpose.

That’s right, in his opinion, if it was just a contest of swordsmanship, physical skills or domineering, he might not be Xia Zheteng’s opponent.

Although Red Hair has always been very confident and is indeed very strong, perhaps due to the influence of his defeat to Xia Zheteng a long time ago, he still does not think that he would be Xia Zheteng's opponent.

So, he thought of a more clever way.

When both sides fight against each other, both sides will certainly get hurt, but because of the mutual fight, they can choose the direction in which the other side falls.

After reaching the island, Shanks deliberately stood facing the sea. In his opinion, with just one strike, he could knock Xia Zheteng into the sea.

Although Xia Zheteng's injuries would be less severe than his, as long as he entered the sea, the user of the fruit ability would be powerless.

Shanks felt that he would definitely win if he fought like this.

Unfortunately, when Shanks saw Xia Zheteng, who was soaked in water, standing opposite him, his eyes widened.

"how is this possible?"

"Don't use your cleverness anymore. Do you think I'll be defeated if I fall into the sea? It sounds reasonable that fruit users are afraid of sea water, but in fact, there are many fruit users who can control sea water."

Xia Zheteng swung the black knife in his hand, and just used a simple sword attack to attack Shanks.

Shanks had no choice but to dodge the attack.

"That's true, but as I remember, you have the Thunder Fruit. I really don't know how this fruit can restrain seawater."

If you are talking about the Ice-Ice Fruit, that's easy. Just freeze the sea and then you can walk or ride a bike on it. But I've never heard of thunder controlling sea water.

Shanks couldn't imagine how Xia Zheteng did it.

"This is my secret. Now, do you still have the confidence to stop me?"

"Damn it, I made a mistake." Shanks was very depressed.

Because his injury was more serious than Xia Zheteng's, he was clearly at a disadvantage in the subsequent attacks.

At this time, Xia Zheteng also used the ability of the Thunder Fruit. His whole body felt like lightning. Holding the black knife high in his hand, Xia Zheteng suddenly flew up.

"Lei Ying."

Even for Enelu, he needs the help of the Ship's Maxim to perform this move, but Xia Zheteng doesn't need that. With the fully awakened Thunder Fruit, he can do this.

A huge bolt of lightning, a bolt of lightning that could destroy a town, struck towards the restored Kes.

"No, it's hard to defend against him alone. Let's go." Beckman reacted instantly.

Shanks is very strong, but now he is injured. It is really difficult to defend against Raikage with such strong domineering aura.

"superior."

Bang bang, Jesus Bu's gun shot at Xia Zheteng, but the bullet only hit Xia Zheteng's side and was covered by the huge lightning, with no way to go any further.

The other members of the Red Hair Pirates also rushed out. The cadres of the Three Musketeers and the Three Gunslingers all showed their full domineering power and rushed to Shanks' side.

Boom! A huge explosion sounded. On one side of the island, Tiger was rocking on the sea in a small boat.

The impact on the island caused huge waves in the sea.

If Tiger hadn't had good boat skills, the boat might have capsized.

The red-haired ship was not in a good condition either, but the sailors on it still tried their best to right the ship, thus stabilizing the situation.

The sea surface slowly calmed down, and looking at the island again, half of it had been blown up.

Half the island's trees were on fire, and a huge plane appeared from the coastline.

That was the ground flattened by Lei Ying.

The surrounding mountains also have smooth facades, and the main members of the Red Hair Pirates are located in the center.

They used all their strength to withstand Xia Zheteng's attack. The red-haired man stood in the middle of the team with a surprised look on his face.

He never expected that he would be defeated so badly by the opponent's attack.

After all, they were all against one person, and even so, they only managed to defend against the power of the opponent's sword moves and failed to counterattack.

This means that only with the combined efforts of all members can we tie with the opponent. How is this possible?

Xia Zheteng also landed on the ground, swung the black knife in his hand, and looked forward: "Not bad, at least I blocked it. Shanks, do you think you can still stop me like this?"

Red-haired Shanks clenched his teeth and his expression became serious.

Why stop them? The other party can easily defeat them.

This is just Xia Zheteng. If other members of Xia came, the effect would be even more different.

"Let's go." After taking a look at the current situation, Shanks had to retreat first. He knew that he couldn't afford to continue wasting time like this.

Seeing Shanks and his men boarding the boat, Xia Zheteng smiled slightly. But then again, the reason why he succeeded in one move this time was because Red Hair had been thinking of taking shortcuts from the very beginning.

You have to know that if you don't do it right, the other party will have the opportunity to take advantage of you.

Another thing is that Shanks was not well prepared. He just wanted to stop Xia Zheteng and did not think that Xia Zheteng would try his best.

So, when Xia Zheteng attacked with all his strength, the red-haired guy's face was shattered.

Watching the red-haired man's boat leave, Xia Zheteng put away his black knife and flew onto his own boat.

"You are really strong. In fact, even if Shanks doesn't underestimate you, you should have a chance of winning in a one-on-one situation, right?" Ace made a rough comparison.

If I were to face Shanks, my current winning rate would be 40:60, but if Xia Zheteng were to face Shanks, it would probably be 70:30.

"We will definitely win, but the Four Emperors will probably keep some in reserve, so it will be difficult to destroy them."

To be honest, Xia Zheteng felt that Kaido and Big Mom were defeated by Luffy more because of the protagonist's halo rather than just being unable to beat him.

People do a few sit-ups to replenish their energy. How can this be justified?

Ace then smiled and said, "I see. It seems that we are one step closer to our goal. Should we continue moving forward?"

"We're all here now, what do you think?"

Ace just smiled and said nothing, while Tiger had already rowed the boat and continued to move forward.
