One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 524 There are no allies among emperors!
The Red Fox slowly sailed into Beehive Bay along the straight path left by the slash.
The Red-Haired Pirates' flag was fully unfurled in the night wind.
The wrecked ship drifted to either side, making way for the newly arrived emperor.
The pirates on the island, who had scattered in all directions because of the battle between Whitebeard and Blackbeard, stopped once again.
"It's the Red-Haired Pirates!"
"Another Yonko!"
"The white-bearded man and the redhead have arrived!"
Within a short period of time, the two maritime emperors arrived at Beehive Island one after the other.
The ordinary pirates who were initially drawn by Blackbeard's declaration are now beginning to regret their decision.
They fantasized about the four emperors fighting each other and then taking the stone tablet.
But they never imagined what would happen when they were actually on the battlefield with the three emperors.
The mere aftershocks of the clash of Conqueror's Haki were enough to knock them unconscious.
On the shattered platform, the black-bearded man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled again.
"Thief, hahaha!"
"Redheads!"
"They couldn't catch me off guard off the coast of Elbaf, so now they've chased me all the way to Beehive Island?"
Shanks stood at the bow of the Red Fox.
"He's missing an arm."
"His ambitions are even greater than before."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Blackbeard's eyes, but he did not become angry.
He raised his remaining arm and turned to the pirates watching on the island, his voice carried across Beehive Island via a megaphone Den Den Mushi.
"welcome!"
"The second emperor of the world's grandest event—"
"Red-haired Shanks!"
Cheers could be heard sporadically on the island.
Redhead was not a guest at Blackbeard's coronation ceremony.
He was a competitor who came to steal the stone tablet.
In the center of the burning harbor, Whitebeard gripped Murakumogiri in one hand, coldly watching the Red Fox slowly approach the shore.
He did not lower his guard because of the Red-Haired Pirates' appearance; instead, he shifted some of his attention away from Blackbeard.
"Red hair".
"All I want today is Teach's head."
"Don't block my way."
Shanks leaped from the bow of the ship, his black cloak unfurling behind him.
He landed on the west side of the harbor, neither near the white-bearded man nor standing in the direction of the black-bearded man.
The three parties always maintained a sufficient distance to launch an attack.
"rest assured."
Shanks grasped Griffin's hand, his tone calm.
"I'm not here to help you, nor am I here to persuade you to stop."
His gaze passed over the black beard and landed on the red stone tablet behind the broken platform.
"The historical text of the fourth road sign is here."
"I came to Beehive Island because of it."
Whitebeard had no obsession with Laugh Tale, nor did he care who the stone tablet would ultimately end up in.
However, Marco, Ace, and the other captains remained on guard, and the Red-Haired Pirates' officers also did not put away their weapons.
The white-bearded man can choose not to fight over the stone tablet.
That doesn't mean his crew would allow Shanks to threaten his father in battle.
Blackbeard looked at the wary figures of the two sides, a smile appearing in his eyes.
"Thief, hahaha!"
"Redhead, haven't you always seen that straw hat as the future of a new era?"
"The Straw Hat Boy also wants this stone tablet."
He deliberately pointed to the historical text of the road sign behind the platform.
"Are you planning to snatch it and then personally deliver it to him?"
Shanks' expression remained unchanged.
"I've already met Luffy."
"He chose his own path, and so did I."
Shanks raised his eyes and looked directly at Blackbeard.
"From the moment they left Elbaf, the Red-Haired Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates have been rivals vying for the same destination."
The man with the black beard's eyes flickered slightly.
He intended to use Luffy to stir up Shanks' emotions, causing Shanks to hesitate in front of the stone tablet.
Shanks' answer was without the slightest hesitation, as if the straw hat would never affect his current choice.
"I won't give the fourth stone tablet to Luffy."
"He wants to become the Pirate King, and he'll do it through his own strength."
Beckman stood beside the Red Fosse and calmly exhaled a puff of smoke.
The other red-haired officers did not show any surprise, clearly having already accepted the captain's decision.
Blackbeard looked back at the pirates on the island, his voice even louder.
"Did you all hear that?!"
"The white-bearded guy wants to kill me, and the red-haired guy wants to steal my tombstone!"
"They're not in cahoots at all!"
He pointed to his head and then to the red stone tablet behind him.
"I only have one head, and there's only one stone tablet!"
"Even if they team up to kill me, who will ultimately lead the Poneglyphs?"
The pirates on the island, who had already been scared away by the two Yonko, stirred up a commotion again after hearing these words.
Blackbeard is right.
The three emperors who have now appeared on Beehive Island each have different purposes.
Whitebeard just wanted to clean house.
Redhead came for the last stone tablet.
Blackbeard, on the other hand, wanted to use this war to kill all his competitors.
They were not two pirate crews joining forces to attack Beehive Island.
Rather, it was three emperors who, for their own purposes, stepped onto the same battlefield.
Whitebeard can temporarily refrain from arguing over the stone tablet.
But no one can guarantee that after Blackbeard's death, the Whitebeard Pirates will allow Shanks to take away the final ticket to Laugh Tale without any hindrance.
As long as the goals are different, any so-called alliance cannot last.
Whitebeard didn't look at Shanks, nor did he respond to who the monument should ultimately belong to.
He raised the Murakumogiri again, and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit gathered along the blade, causing transparent cracks to appear in the air above the port.
"Teach".
"I have no interest in wasting your time."
The buildings on Beehive Island shook violently again, with debris falling from the already damaged platform.
If Whitebeard were to unleash another strike of that level, the entire harbor could be overturned by the force of the impact.
The man with the black beard didn't dodge; instead, he stood at the edge of the crack with his arms outstretched.
Come on!
"Whitebeard!"
"Use your world-destroying power to shatter the entire Beehive Island!"
The white-bearded man's eyes darkened slightly.
Blackbeard acted far too arrogantly.
Just then, he felt a slight tremor beneath his feet.
The man with the black beard stomped heavily on the ground.
"Pizarro!"
Rumble—!
The entire port shook violently.
The ground between Whitebeard and Shanks slowly cracked open, revealing a deep abyss tens of meters wide before them.
This time, the crevice didn't contain a rock trap that could swallow enemies.
Instead, it is a vast space hidden layer upon layer inside the Beehive Island.
The dimly lit cage was crowded with people wearing chains.
Among them were marines who had been defeated by the Blackbeard Pirates.
There were also artisans, merchants, and slaves plundered from the world and other islands.
Deeper inside, there are even small pirate crews that were attracted by the world's grand event, but suddenly disappeared after landing on the island.
The moment the ground cracked open, countless terrified cries came from underground.
"Help!"
"Don't destroy the island!"
"We're still down here!"
"Navy! Whitebeard! Anyone, please save us!"
The vibrations on the white-bearded blade gradually subsided.
He can use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to destroy ports and even tear the entire Beehive Island apart.
But this force can also cause the underground space to collapse completely.
Before Blackbeard was killed, those imprisoned deep inside would be crushed into mincemeat by the rock strata.
Seeing that the white-bearded man had restrained his power, the black-bearded man laughed even more wildly.
"Why did you stop?"
"Weren't you going to chop off my head?"
"Keep shaking!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to Shanks, his gaze falling on Griffin.
"Redhead, you can also cleave Beehive Island in two with a single strike, just like you did before!"
"But before you encounter me, these people below will be buried alive!"
On the distant mountainside, Pizarro's enormous face smiled.
Blackbeard never cared about the lives of prisoners.
These people were left behind to serve as a shield to limit large-scale attacks once Whitebeard, Red-haired, or the Navy arrived.
Shanks stared down into the crack, the warmth in his eyes gradually fading.
"That's what you just said."
"A citizen of a pirate nation?"
The man with the black beard grinned, seemingly unconcerned.
"They are already more valuable to the emperor than they were in the past, as they are able to serve him."
"A nation needs people to work, people to fight, and people to sacrifice their lives in critical moments!"
"Thief, hahaha!"
Not long ago, he declared to the world that Beehive Island was a free country belonging to pirates.
Now he admits that everyone in this country is just a tool that can be sacrificed at will.
The crown did not make Blackbeard a true emperor.
It only gave his greed and cruelty an even more absurd name.
Ben Beckman stood at the bow of the ship, observing the changing terrain, and quickly made a judgment.
"The hostages are not just below the port."
"There should be similar underground spaces throughout the entire Beehive Island."
If Whitebeard were to unleash the Tremor-Tremor Fruit on a large scale, a large number of underground prisoners would die.
Shanks' slashes would also damage the island's structure, making the hostages the first to be sacrificed.
This did not stop the two emperors from taking action, but it was enough to force them to restrain their power.
Shanks slowly pulled out Griffin.
A dark, domineering aura flowed forward along the blade, while red lightning flashed around it.
The white-bearded man glanced at him.
"Red-haired brat."
"I don't need your help."
"I know."
Shanks pointed his blade at Blackbeard on the broken platform.
"I won't steal your enemy either."
"But I want the fourth stone tablet."
Upon hearing this, Blackbeard suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Thief, hahaha!"
"In the end, they still just want what's mine!"
"Now that's more like a pirate!"
Ben Beckman, Yasopp, Raki Luke, and other core members landed one after another, occupying the buildings and roads on the west side of the port.
The Whitebeard Pirates gathered on the east side, and although the two sides did not get close, they both put pressure on the Blackbeard Pirates.
Whitebeard stood on the east side.
Shanks stood on the west side.
Blackbeard is located in the center of the platform leading to the historical inscription of the road sign.
The three emperors' domineering auras clashed in the sky above the port, and black and red lightning kept exploding.
The cries of the hostages could still be heard from below the harbor.
Blackbeard stood at the edge of the crack.
He knew he couldn't defeat both the whitebeard and the redhead head-on at the same time.
However, they also knew that neither of them could destroy Hive Island without any scruples.
As long as the battle continues, the death toll will keep rising.
The Soul-Soul Fruit allows one to obtain more and more corpses and souls.
If we continue to stall for time, more fleets will arrive at Beehive Island, and the Navy, the Straw Hat Pirates, and the World Government will all take the initiative to enter the island.
Blackbeard looked up at the open sea, his smile widening once more.
"Whitebeard is here."
"Redhead has arrived too."
"The Navy will not be absent."
"The rest of them are on their way too."
He stretched out his remaining arm as if he were still sitting on that broken throne.
"Don't rush."
"The real guest—"
"Not all of them have arrived yet."
Shanks gripped Griffin tightly.
His gaze passed over the black beard and landed on the red stone monument standing at the highest point of the island.
"Then before they arrive—"
"First, I'll get you off that throne."
boom!
The Conqueror's Lightning exploded along Griffin with a deafening roar.
The ground on the west side of Beehive Island instantly cracked open, and Shanks' figure disappeared from the spot.
