Sailing: The crew members are all top-notch talents!

"It's the Red-Haired Pirates! Even they've come to join the fun?!"

The people on the island quickly recognized the newcomer.

Whitebeard, Rayleigh, and Hawkeye all frowned when they saw Shanks.

This guy just had to come at this exact moment.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shanks led his crew to the Marine Headquarters.

When he saw the four Sengoku members bound, the tragically deceased Garp and Kong, and the island whose majority had been destroyed by some terrifying force, his expression became more solemn than ever before.

Shanks walked straight up to Renault, looked him up and down for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice:

"Renault, end this fight. Stop the killing."

"Do you really intend to slaughter all these navy soldiers?!"

Renault glanced at the self-absorbed fellow and smiled knowingly:

"Shanks, where did you get the idea that I'm going to kill all these marines?!"

"I want to kill all the Celestial Dragons, including Im!!"

Shanks's furrowed brows relaxed, and he glanced upwards, hesitatingly saying:

"Renault, that's enough. Although this sea is often turbulent, it is generally peaceful."

"Even if you were a match for that person, what difference would it make if you killed her?!"

"In the next few years, the sea will be completely plunged into darkness, and countless civilians will suffer. Give me some face and stop."

"If you stop now, it's not too late!!"

No one would believe that a pirate could become the ruler of the sea.

Then the sea will erupt in turmoil again, and countless civilians will be displaced.

This is not what he wants to see.

"Face?! Who do you think you are? I have to give you (your good) face?!"

Renault's eyes suddenly turned cold. He was too lazy to explain to Shanks. Did Shanks really think he was some great person?

"Renault, is there really no room for negotiation?!"

Shanks' eyes widened, and he looked coldly at Renault.

Dark red lightning bolts shot out from his body, darting about wildly like venomous snakes.

"I was already in a bad mood, and you just came here looking for trouble!!"

Seeing that Shanks was getting murderous, Renault didn't bother to say anything more to him.

"Kaido, Barrett, Brogy, Dorry, Sora, Crocodile, Gecko Moria, Shakky, Hancock, Yasopp."

"Boss!"

"Boss!!"

"Captain, I'm here!!"

“…”

The people whose names were called by Renault immediately stepped forward.

"Shanks, aren't you trying to save face?!"

"I've already given you enough face by having so many skilled fighters take you all out, haven't I?!"

Renault looked at Shanks, whose face was gloomy, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"The Shanks Pirates, leave no one alive!!"

"Ura ra ra ra... I didn't get to fight properly just now, boss, Shanks is mine!!" Kaido, wielding his spiked club, immediately charged towards Shanks.

"I've heard that the Red-Haired Pirates' vice-captain, Ben Beckman, is just as strong as Shanks. Let me experience that for myself."

Barrett grinned and slowly walked towards Ben Beckman.

The others also found opponents and engaged in fierce battles with them.

"Golden Lion, Redfield, Jess, Halding, Fireflower!!"

"captain!!"

"Boss!!"

"You all stay here and keep watch. Anyone who tries to leave or anyone who wants to help the Red-Haired Pirates will be killed without mercy!!"

As he spoke, Reno's gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally toward Whitebeard, Rayleigh, and Hawkeye.

These three guys have some connection to Shanks, so we have to be careful.

"Don't worry, boss!!"

"Captain, just go and do your job!"

Redfield and the others immediately patted their chests and assured him.

148. A mighty river, slaying Im!!

Golden Lion, Redfield, Jess, Hajrudin, and Flameflower immediately understood.

A powerful aura erupted, locking firmly onto Whitebeard and his two companions.

They will act immediately if they make any unusual moves.

After explaining everything, Renault summoned the Golden Ark and threw Sengoku, Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru onto it.

"Lingling, let's go!!"

"Here you are, brother."

Without further hesitation, Renault 852104278 piloted [Linglong] and the Golden Ark, carrying Lingling and the other five, immediately flew to the Holy Land.

Whitebeard, Rayleigh, and Hawkeye, standing in the crowd, frowned slightly as they watched Shanks' battle become a stalemate.

Of the three, Whitebeard and Hawkeye are Shanks' friends, and Rayleigh and Shanks were once in the same pirate crew.

It is inappropriate for them to remain neutral in this situation.

But with Golden Lion and Redfield and their men watching them closely, they couldn't very well make a move.

......

High in the sky, Renault unleashed its full power, accelerating towards the holy land at top speed.

Just as he took to the air, his Observation Haki suddenly detected a powerful aura ahead.

Before long, a huge, strange bird appeared in front of them.

"Itsumade?!" Lingling immediately shouted out the name of the strange bird.

This is none other than the long-bearded Five Elders who fought her just now.

Instead of staying obediently in the holy land after being rescued, they actually dared to run away.

"Renault?!"

Itsumade, who was in mid-air, stumbled and decisively turned around to escape.

Damn it, shouldn't Renault be dead?!

Why are you still alive?

We must inform Lord Im of this news as soon as possible.

"Hehehehe... Since you're here, don't leave."

Renault chuckled and swung his sword, the Sea-Slaying Blade, cleaving Itsumade in two.

Beside them, the four members of the Warring States period, huddled in a corner, unconsciously twitched their throats.

Being so close, they had a deeper understanding of Renault's strength and were increasingly wary of him.

"Renault, what are you taking us to do?!"

The Warring States period was somewhat unhappy about being confined.

He was a naval admiral, after all, but now he was like a prisoner in shackles, having lost all his dignity.

"You don't need to know the reason, just stay here quietly."

Renault did not offer much explanation for their questions.

In fact, Reno was worried that after he left, Whitebeard and the other two would change their minds and betray him, and might even forcibly remove the Seastone shackles from Sengoku's hands.

By then, Kaido and his crew will likely be unable to maintain control of the situation.

It would be better to keep the four of them by your side; as long as they're there, no one can cause trouble.

Seeing that Renault didn't want to say more, the four Sengoku people didn't ask any further questions.

However, they were equally curious about the mysterious being hidden deep within the holy land.

It remains to be seen whether he or Renault will ultimately emerge victorious.

Although they didn't want Renault to win, they also harbored deep resentment towards Im because of what had just happened.

Not long after, Renault flew to Mary Geoise.

When he stepped into the area, all the streets were deserted.

It was completely empty at first glance, like a dead city.

However, he sensed many uneasy and trembling auras.

Renault did not linger and continued to maneuver the Golden Ark to Pangaea City.

As soon as he stepped into the city, he saw the gloomy-faced blond Five Elders and the mustachioed Five Elders, along with dozens of World Government assassins beside them.

"Renault, you're still alive!!"

The blond Five Elders were furious; their back teeth were practically grinding to powder.

Following Im's orders, they waited here for Renault's arrival, and to their surprise, Renault actually came.

"You're all alive, so I definitely won't die."

Renault chuckled and jumped down with Lingling.

The Golden Ark automatically rose several thousand meters into the air.

If the four of them from the Sengoku period weren't afraid of death, they should jump off from there.

It's guaranteed to fall to the ground and turn into a meat pie.

"Brother, leave these guys to me."

Lingling held the broken blade in her hand, her eyes sharp and fierce.

She'd let them escape earlier, but now that she'd come to their stronghold, she wanted to see how they'd manage to run away this time.

"be careful."

Renault cautiously reminded her that he had great confidence in Lingling's abilities.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, these guys are no match for Lingling.

With a flash of lightning, Renault vanished from his spot.

"Renault, stay here!!!"

As the Five Old Stars with the mustache roared, they transformed into a giant wild boar and chased after Renault.

"Hehehehe... Old man, your opponent is me!!"

Lingling sneered, and with a flash, she blocked the entrance to the ancient hall.

With her here, she won't let anyone stand in Renault's way.

.......

Meanwhile, inside Pongel Castle.

Among the flowers, a tall, slender figure was resting with his eyes closed.

"Were you waiting for me?!"
