After Ace burned the flag Neptune army appeared and surround us but didn't try to engage with us weird they were standing in their position as if waiting for someone .
The wait didn't last long the muscler merman i saw before when i left the palace with Shirahoshi from the way the soldiers greated him he was someone important .
The crowd : Prince Fukaboshi is here those troublemakers are done for .
So he really was Shirahoshi older brother they are only similar in their clothing style .
Fukaboshi : what is the meaning of this , are you declaring war on the Ryugu kingdom .
Ace : we don't want anything to do with your kingdom or your people we are just declaring war on the Yonko who owns this territory and we already done here .
Fukaboshi : leave our kingdom immediately .
We were going to leave anyway but i still wanted to say goodbye to Camie and Pappag just forget it it's not like this will be the last time seeing each other but i still wanted to tell Fukaboshi to deliver a massage for Shirahoshi for me .
Ace : let's continue our journey , guys .
Ace i have something to say to the prince i will follow you in a minute , he just nodded and told me to not be late .
I also nodded and began waking in the prince direction but the soldiers were dismayed at my bold action as they pointed their trident towards me in a threatening manner i looked at the prince and said .
Fukaboshi san mind if we talked about something alone .
The guards : what do you intend to do to our prince , pirate ? .
Fukaboshi : what talk could possibly be between us .
You see i was the one at the tube and i wasn't alone at that time so i couldn't stop .
All the parties around us were confused wondering what i meant by that but Fukaboshi realized what i was talking about .
Fukaboshi : leave us alone at once , he said and mentioned for the guards to leave .
The guards : but your highness it isn't safe to talk to a pirate like this alone .
Fukaboshi : don't worry i'm more than capable enough to repell him if necessary , leave us and calm the agitated citizens .
A few minutes the field was empty but i was able to see that the guards were still there watching from a distance at least now i know that they are very loyal to the Royal family .
Fukaboshi : Mind telling me why you were snooping around the palace what was your objective really ? .
Fukaboshi san i wasn't snooping around on anything i saw a flying axe and decided to see where it was flying too and something led to another and i met your sister princess Shirahoshi and at the time when you saw me at the tube we both were heading to The Forest Of The Sea , i was telling Fukaboshi about most of the things that happened as he needed to know about our encounter with Vander Decken why i told him all this it was because i wanted him to believe that i really know his sister and i'm not faking anything for ulterior motives .
A few minutes later he bowed and cupped his hands saying : you have my deepest gratitude Ryuu kun for both granting my little sister wish and for you saving her life you said you wanted to talk to me about something what is it if it's in my power i will do it wholeheartedly .
Don't be like this prince Fukaboshi i told you that we are already became friends as for the thing i wanted to ask of you it's really simple i wanted you to deliver a massage for her to tell her i said hi or goodbye and tell her to do more research on the question she asked me before to not create a misunderstanding .
Fukaboshi : I hope your journey will go well, i would deliver your massage but what is that question you said that she asked you , at the last part he looked at me weirdly .
Sorry prince Fukaboshi if i told you that question i might not be able to set sail peacefully , i began to walk away .
One last thing Ryuu were you the one responsible for what happened to Hody Jones before .
Oh , yes sorry for that too but i really didn't like that dude , see you later prince , i then increased my speed to reach the ship as it was already getting ready to set sail up to the New World unaware of the complex mode i left Prince Fukaboshi and the two brothers of his that arrived just shortly after i left .
Ace : are all the preparation done Wallace ? .
Wallace : everything is ready we are only waiting for your orders captain .
I then landed on the ship and Banshee handed me a cup of orange juice i looked at her then the cup bewildered .
Ace : OhRyuu you finally came so does everyone has a cup in hands Wallace , pull up the anchor we are making a toast to our new adventures in the second half of our journey through the Grand Line ... Set Sail To The New World Cheeers .
The crowd : cheers .
I looked at the Fish-man Island one last time and wondered how many years will it be before i can come back here .
The craw partied for a few hours then all went to do what he wants Mihar went to his reading and Skull was trying to convince Banshee to play cards with him they were gambling ofcourse as the ship was already flowing up with Wallace looking as if searching for something in this dark abyss i asked and he told me that we are looking for the closest underwater current to the island we are trying to reach a Winter island i asked about the weird naming but Wallace told me that's how the New World is and began to explain more of what he heard when we were in Fish-man Island .
Ryuu while the first half of the Grand Line possesses highly volatile and unpredictable weather conditions, the New World is even more chaotic and random , while certain islands likes of winter island where we heading for an example are relatively simple in terms of weather and climate, such as the snowy Yukiryu Island and the rainy island , other portions of the ocean defy every common sense and nature by themselves an examples i heard people talking about the lightning rain on Raijin Island, some pirates maybe even be drawn toward a giant black sphere floating in the sky in the middle of the sea that says nothing but doom to those that get sucked in it so it would require much more experienced navigator to get to where you want peacefully .
So how can we know our next destination in this chaotic part of the sea i asked Wallace and he pointed at Ace's wrist and said : lookat the captain wrist that's your answer .
I saw that instead of the long pose he had on before now there was a long pose with three needles two of them were moving like crazy and one was still i wanted to ask about that but as if Wallace know that i would ask he began explaining that to safely navigate through the New World, a crew needs to have a Log Pose with three needles, each of these needle records the magnetism of one of three different islands simultaneously, as opposed to the Paradise Log Pose, which only records the magnetic waves of one island at a time , This way, if we lost the magnetism of one island, we still had two backup options or for our case one .
You see the stability of the needle reflects the stability of the island's magnetic field so if the needle is displaying erratic movement, it means that the island's magnetism is unstable people use this as a warning but there are no guarantees in these waters, but as a rule of thumb, this likely means that there is something dangerous on the island, as disturbances in magnetism can be caused by abnormalities on the islands in the New World .
You are quite knowledgeable about the mechanism of sailing in the New World Wallace san .
Don't mention it i just asked those who adventured there their entire life most of them have even lived in these waters for quite sometimes , yeah that current will do you better hang to something you guys the trip back to the surface will be much rougher , he yelled then everyone began to focus after feeling the impact of the ship landing on the current that Wallace chose the whole shop shock uncontrollably .
I have no doubts about Wallace steering skills but i can already tell how difficult to steer a ship riding pressurized current like the one we are on the ship just landed and was being launched as if it weighted absolutely nothing at the speed we are currently going with everything around us was blurry at least for the normal eye but i was able to see some huge Sea kings with my clairvoyance huge like if one of them decided to attack our ship it won't be difficult to drawn us by the waves their huge bodies create when they moved but luckily they weren't interested in us but still it was a scene that left me with wide eyes while wondering at how old are those huge creatures and if they get their size as they age or as they eat .
Wallace san when will we approximately reach the surface ? .
Wallace :At This speed and if there no accident with the current we will reach the New World in about 3 to 4 hours approximately .
Thank you for your hard work .
I then went to Ace to hear about the most important question in my mind right now since we are fighting one of the four Yonkos Whitebeard so why are we going to meet with Red haired Shanks who is also a Yonko .
Hey Ace , why are we going to a winter island ? .
Ace : I'm going to show my gratitude and do my duty as a big brother to the Yonko Red Haired Shanks who saved Luffy's life a few years ago and as a younger brother you too will need to show your gratitude .
I nodded but wanted more details so i asked how did he save Luffy's life .
Luffy told me that shanks had saved him from getting eaten by the local sea monster that lived in Dawn Island, near Foosha Village after being tossed in the sea by some bandits losing one of his arm in the process .
Luffy did ?! .
Smack .
It was shanks who lost one of his arms trying to save Luffy .
There was no need for you to smack me like this though but he lost an arm yet he was still able to keep his position as a Yonko so how strong is he really to be able to do that .
There was , your question reminded me of Luffy and who knows maybe we will figure how strong is he after we meet him .
But you were telling a story Luffy told you so you must had being reminded .
Yeah you have a point .
So i get to smack you back .
Are you becoming rebellious !! You even want to smack your older brother , little brother .
(Ouch) Smack at incomprehensible speed .
~ Whistle ~ whistle ~ whistle ~ .
You didn't have to use Haki too i didn't use Haki when i dealt mine .
I don't know what you are talking about ~ whistle ~ whistle ~ whistle .
Come here youuuu , Ace began dashing after me but he was only able to catch my afterimages the chase continued around the ships with Skull again setting a gamble on for how long would i be able to escape Ace's pursuit i was easily able to join as Ace was catching his breath after such a long run and put a few thousand berries on never gonna happen as the only reaction the crew had now was that they started to laugh menacingly and i used my Observation Haki and readied myself as my fellow crew mates joined the fun with only Wallace being the exception he was the only one who took my bet of never being caught seriously and add his money on me wining the bet while Skull was announcing the new game of gambling of who would be able to catch me even the sleepy Kotatsu woke up and joined the fun .
Money can really turn allies to enemies not that with their joining they'll able to catch me any way but my bounty on the ship is increasing by the moment it's already 80 thousands berries and it's still increasing i was beginning to use Soru and the itself was already speeding but now with us constantly moving we felt as if the ship was constantly jumping too but Wallace didn't say anything to stop this foolishness game of ours even with all of that is happening Wallace is still steering the ship skilfully and steadily Fishmen steering skills are really something else not like i saw other people steering skills but still other than a few shocks here and there the ship is sailing perfectly fine .
~ Hop ~ sorry Deuce san not happening i'm going to be the richest man in the ship if i win today , the price on my head had increased to 100 thousands berries i was currently avoiding the desperate tries of my crew mates they were even using their weapons .
Even Skull joined the game and Ace came dashing towards me even faster than before : since you all are getting serious i will get a bit more serious myself , i told them and enhanced my strength by 20 and entered the Over Limit By 40 Mode the name i came up with for my blood pumping mode my skin turned red but with my skin tone it became more pink than red .
But there was unexpected problem you see in this mode i'm releasing hot steam and with the amount of hot steam that i was releasing was able to cover the whole bubble we are in instantly and i also turned my power off immediately as even the composed Wallace tensed at the cloud of whiteness that the ship turned into with some of the guys coughing and other blindly believing that they found me so they begin hitting each other the scene was quite comical i was laughing so hard that my stomach began to hurt .
I then enlarged my size and sniffed a big amount of steam to at least to make sure the bubble won't burst before we reach the New World and that made Wallace regain his composure once again .
I looked at the scene and enhanced my healing so it can keep up with my laughing most of the guys were bruised and poor Kotatsu was being bitten by Saber and 4 other guys how did that even happen but the most hilarious thing was two voices that kept on shouting that they have found me while chocking each other to the point of unconsciousness they were Ducky Bree and Deuce they comically looked at each other and both passed out .
The others joined me in laughter that scene was really entertaining Ace was even tearing up from laughing with few others as well even Kotatsu was licking his wounds while laughing .
You joining us really lightened up the ship mood a bit more , Ryuu .
Ace said getting the nods and the agreement of the whole crew the conscious ones at least .
I felt really happy for some reason at his words , was this the feeling of belonging .
Say should we try to wake them up ?! .
Leave them be it isn't their first time like this .
Skull san i want to cash out my bet, i told the moving gamble den and saw that even the mask can't hide the disappointment of losing money hehe .
It's all here i was just safekeeping it for you .
Thanks for your trouble .
Wallace : Ready up yourselves we will be shortly ascending to the surface soon be wary not to lean on the coating bubble it's at its limit thanks to someone .
I'm really really sorry for what happened before Wallace san .
The crew : woaah that money shark have a polite side are you sure he is your brother captain .
Shut up i can be polite too if i want .
Wallace : never mind just keep your distance from it and the same goes for all of you .
I nod and head to a corner with Ace so that we could continue our taking but he told me that he was taught by Makino san a kind hearted tavern owner back at dawn island how to say his thanks as politely as possible just so that he can thank Shanks for saving Luffy's life one of the duties he had to do being an older brother .
Ace !!! .
Huh, what do you need something ?.
Thank you for being my older brother , he again smacked me .
Ouch what was that for ? .
You shouldn't be saying such things as thanks between brothers and it should be thank you for being my eldest brother if Luffy was here he would have punched you directly and his punches are like pistols hehe .
I would have started this game again if i wasn't aware that i swallowed all the money they had so i will let it pass eldest brother hehehe .
We were engrossed in our conversation and didn't notice that the background was becoming lighter and i was ready to finally ask Ace about the question that kept bothering me Since my encounter with prince Fukaboshi .
Hey Ace, I want to ask you about something .
Surface we finally arrived back to the surface horray , the cheering of the crowd went off as i asked the now unprepared Ace
Ace, what is love ? . ( Unknown to our mc the same question was being asked by a mermaid princess to her brothers and father and their reaction were the same as Ace but they are able to breathe underwater ) .
Splash
Ace !!! Splash×2
Damn it i can't swim too it was my second time feeling that weakened a feeling i didn't like before and i absolutely hate now even more but i was trying to help Ace i have no regrets but are we really done for i closed my eyes as if i was already accepting my fate .
Slap hey wake up already hey ~slap ~ i woke up and it was Wallace i first asked about Ace and he was right behind me not unconscious but just sleeping .
You two idiots brothers will really be my end what were you thinking diving behind him when you are a devil fruit user just like him .
I didn't cough cough .
You didn't what ?! .
I didn't think i just acted out of instinct he is my brother .
Okay okay leave me out of your emotional crap just don't be so impulsive next time , you sure you are okay kid .
I enhanced my healing and went to Over Limit mode to dry myself and asked why Ace was sleeping .
He tends to sleep whenever he fall to the Sea saying because he don't want to see the ugly face of death and i see you two brothers have that in common .
Haha ~slap~ haha my fins you only joined us for 3 days and you already want to die, keep dreaming you are stuck with us now .
Hahaha ~slap ~ did i say something funny!?
No Wallace san, i'm sorry for the inconvenience .
Luckily you are sensible if not...what the heck is that .
I looked behind me and there it was the black sphere of doom that Wallace san told me about earlier .
A black sphere appeared on the surface simultaneously with us as if it was waiting for us up here and currently it was sucking us towards it , what is now Wallace san .
Hey you stupid guys did you bring those powder kegs like i told you .
Yes we will bring them right away .
What are you going to do Wallace san ? .
See that sphere in the center of it lay the core that is responsible for its ability to pull us towards it we will be using explosives trying to disrupt and remove its influence on our ship or at least that's the best outcome .
So we only need to remove its influence from our ship ? , yesthat's the plan .
All of them are set Wallace san .
Wake up captain i knew you are already up for quite some time it isn't the first time i pulled you out of the water .
I was discovered , Ryuu throw those powder kegs around the black sphere .
Okay , Thinker Mode is on and enhance my strength with 5 times .
I was throwing the barrels with an accurate amount of strength or else they would just explode before they get near their target .
All set Ace .
He made a pistol with his hand and began shooting flames like bullets at the barrels floating in the water first one to explode lit the others up as well it was a sea of flames now but this is still didn't work .
Bring more right away .
But they were all that we were able to find in the storage .
There is only one solution now use the oars .
I think i can be of help here we only need something to push us a way from its influence right .
Don't do anything reckless kid you are strong but this a natural phenomena you can't be possibly suggesting that you are stronger than it .
Actually Wallace san even i don't know how strong i am watch this i used Geppo and transformed into my hybrid form and enlarged my size to almost 11 meters and enhanced my strength by 40 and stood in a punching stance and coated my fist with Armament Haki this a first time experience with this move i thought of it in Thinker Mode but didn't know how far would it go or what kind of damage it will do but one thing was certain we all are going to find out .
I punched in the direction of that black sphere from very far of course nothing happened at first but then a red shockwave bubble appeared and i began to concentrate with Observation Haki i can tell that my link with that bubble is as long as the distance between us isn't more than Three meters due to how much power compressed in that shockwave bubble right now .
I waited for the right moment and i tried to detonate the shockwave bubble intentionally and from a far distance i'm so excited to see the outcome the bubble reached enough distance i sent a signal and the bubble shock suddenly and burst .
Buzzzzz × zzzzzzzzzz ( the clash between the shockwave and the black sphere ) .
Crack that black sphere cracked as if it was a mirror of some sort and from its center a rock the size of a fist appeared accompanied by the rest of the shockwaves created by my bubble the whole diameter of 15 meters of water kept shocking as if a tsunami would be appearing suddenly any time soon the waves kept clashing harshly that even with Wallace san fine control the ship kept being pushed backwards from just the waves created from the shock i sprinted towards that black rock that i saw earlier and headed back to the ship .
At the ship i returned to my normal size but kept my strength at 40 all the same why it was that stone it was so heavy that i felt if i was to drop it from my hands it would sank the ship directly, back on deck they all just looked at me as if i'm some kind of a Sea king or some monster similar , all with an opened mouths and wide eyes except for Ace and Wallace one already know how powerful i'm the other already suspected that i'm powerful enough from the first time he saw my wanted poster but he was still shocked at how easy was it for me to deal such a blow to a natural disaster .
The whole crew was speechless and then they began to cheer saying that with me Whitebeard might surrender quietly some even begun to yell we are the strongest .
What is that you are holding , Ryuu ? .
A rock or a metal like something that fell from the cracked black sphere from before and it's quite heavy .
Let me see it .
I increased my strength to 50 and was able to move more freely with it and i put it in front of Ace face for him to see i have no doubt that if he try to hold in his hand it might be directly broken .
The fist sized rock was black with a few sparkling lights coming from its cavities it looked beautiful but it was so heavy that it was able to slower the speed of our ship just by holding it in my hands .
It does look beautiful but i can from the disturbance effect it has on the wind around it that quite heavy isn't cutting it what exactly are you planning to do with it ? .
I don't know i found it in the heart of that black sphere so i grabbed it out of curiosity but maybe i will train my body with it or maybe even turn it into a necklace with its sparkling lights it would look awesome .
If you were able to somehow split it i wanted a tiny piece of it if possible .
Sure it's so big anyway .
So about the question you asked before i tell you my answer mind telling me what brought this question up ? .
I then began to tell him about my adventure with the Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi and our encounter with Vander Decken and the confusion and misunderstanding that happened when she asked me about what does lover mean ? .
Ace listen with a peculiar smile on his face that i wasn't able to really discern but the only thing that i knew was that he was amused , he waited for me to finish talking then said with a smile .
That's a way to go little brother you not only charmed ensign Isuka like Deu said but also charmed a mermaid princess that rumors circled about her beauty even on the surface , it would be difficult to tell what is love exactly but you weren't wrong when you told her that it was related to liking someone but just liking someone isn't Love in my opinion love is about you wanting to protect that someone you feel he's dear and precious to you and you always want to make sure he is okey and well it's like you share the same senses and being able to tell if that person is having a problem or in danger so it's related to liking but it isn't only liking quite strange at least that's the only type of love i was able to interact with for all those years .
Quite a peculiar understanding Ace is really resembling a wise old man wait what do you mean charmed Isuka san i didn't do such a thing and i told you Shirahoshi was just misunderstanding .
Oh, really i'm old man now waiting for my little brother to choose who to marry so i can began to print the weeding invitations my time in this world as an old man is fading and why denied what had happened Deuce swore that ensign Isuka even kissed you .
On the forehead damnit and it was only because i was there for here and you are really began to talk like an old man now .
Deuce was there and even i was around at that time and you were the only one to get a kiss out of the three of us enough of the jokes your wise old brother will give you an advice i tried to punch out that smug face he was making but he dodged as if he was already expecting it and continue to talk now from a safe distance , anyway my advice to you istolet things go in their own accordance you might discover your own understanding of what love is and what kind of love are you looking for .
What is love and what kind of love i'm looking for , my brain kept buzzing for answers that i was even involuntarily trying to activate my Thinker Mode quite oblivious that i was holding who knows how many times the mass and weight of our ship in my hand but luckily i was able to deactivate the Thinker Mode in time before sinking myself and the ship my whole shoulder cracked and was falling down because of the weight of that thing but luckily my reflexes and healing in particular were doing their best to avoid a disaster and to alleviate the damages .
Wallace : You better throw that ticking crise if you won't be able to hold it attentively , Ryuu .
I'm really began to think about it Wallace san .
But imagine how strong would i be if i'm able to adjust my body to hold this weird stone more comfortably .
The sun rays how much did i miss basking in the sun my eyes ached a bit though i guess it's a side effect of being in the dark for a long time and Wallace san really was a great navigator i can already see the outline of what looked like a white island covered in the snows is that what a winter island looked like what about the other islands then like that lightning island the New World is really filled with wonders , dangerous but still wonders .
Ducky Bree : Ugghhh what happened did i win ? !
Deuce san not wasting anytime and seeing that he was close to me came dashing towards me still thinking that the game was on he even jumped trying to close my ways of escaping i sidestepped and the next thing that happened was him crashing into the ship's mast .
Skull : The game had already ended Deuce you and Bree were choking each other blindlyhahahathat was the most hilarious thing i have encountered in my life .
I guess they remembered what happened before passing out as they begin arguing about why they were in each other way the crew just laughed and some even began to encourage them to do it again it was only Saber but Banshee joined him as well .
I want to get some sleep before we dock at the island all those chaotic scenes was cool but some calm is always welcome i put the stone in my hand and choose a corner and closed my eyes .
Ace : Ready everything for the landing .
The crew : alright , captain .
I felt the temperature dropping and hurriedly opened my eyes and found that we already reached for our first island in the New World The winter island the weather is always bad here like that can humans really survive living for long in this place i donned my coat i wanted to test if i'm able to use my Over Limit Mode to ignore the cold but with that weird stone it's was risky move .
Saber : are the Red Haired Pirates really docking here .
I opened my clairvoyance and enhanced it so i can tell that they were here because i saw another ship docking in the other side of the island it must be theirs i then opened fiery mode and saw something weird a few signatures appeared inside some mountain's cave for only a few seconds then disappeared as if they never existed in the first place but i'm sure of i saw just now could it be the ability of a devil fruit user in their crew .
Wallace : all the informations that i collected indicate that the Red Haired Pirates and their captain Akagami No Shanks were stationed here for a 2 or 3 days .
The storm is slowing down let's use this to our favor .
There is that mountain that i believe we should check i found some weird movements there with my ability , i said and pointed to the direction of the mountain i saw earlier .
Let's move then .
The whether on this winter island was really bad no wonder that the island looked like a cone of ice from a far me and Ace we were doing fine he with his flames and i with that weird stone that increased the pressure of the air around me adding my now 60 strength i am having a feeling that i could be able to create a storm if i used my shockwave bubble right now .
A few minutes later someone came to find us a craw member of the Red Haired Pirates we guessed and asked about our business here we told him that we want to meet his captain and he told us to wait until he asks for the captain permission .
A few seconds later he told us to follow him towards some cave some distance away and when we arrived at the entrance of the cave some of our crew members were already began to worry as the air around the cave was heavy but they remembered why we were here and gulped down their discomfort and replace it with unnatural smiles they weren't worrying but they were still nervous as for me i was more excited than nervous i'm meeting a Yonko someone was said to be one of the four most influential people in the New World people that can roam freely with no one even trying to stop or obstruct them .
We entered the cave and what came after that was something that i didn't have any way of expecting until it happened .
What are two of the super rookies doing here did you come to challenge me ?! A charismatic and rough voice came but we were about to answer when he launched His Conqueror's Haki VEEEEEEEEENNNNN and as if it was being challenged mine too was triggered ZZEEEEEEEEEENNNNNGGGG , and those two Conqueror's clashed the whole cave was shaking with most members of their crew and everyone from our crew except for Ace fall unconscious but luckily he withdraw his Overwhelming Haki at the shout of Ace declaring we aren't here for a fight we are here to show our gratitude .
I was able to withdraw as well after a few seconds i need to refine my control over my Conqueror's Haki a bit more .
He looked at me for a few seconds more and asked To show your gratitude for what ? .
You saved our brother life back at Dawn Island and we are thankful for that , you even gave him his precious treasure as he called it , Ace was the one to say it but we both bowed down to show our gratitude .
Wait Luffy !! Luffy had siblings and two at that, amazing . And the whole atmosphere in the cave shifted to that of a more cheerful one suddenly catching both me and Ace off guard as we looked at each other wanting to understand what is going on exactly .
Don't just stand there , wake up your comrades we will be having a banquet today Lucky Roux you know what to do .
Everything will be ready in a few minutes boss , Luffy's brothers you guys aren't backing away from this party .
There is really no need to do we were here to just ...… come come we will be having a great party it has been a long time since we saw Luffy , Suddenly the cave with filled with laughter and food and drinks our crew thought they were killed and went to heaven but seeing Ducky Bree they know they weren't in heaven adding to the laughter into the atmosphere .
We sat beside Shanks and introduced ourselves Shanks was a head taller than me and also a muscular man with a tan complexion True to his epithet, Shanks has distinctly red hair he had a plain dark colored eyes with a soft jawline tapering down to a small, pointy chin which adorned neatly thin connection of beard and mustache forming the beginnings of a circle beard he wore a sweeping long, sleeveless, high-collared cape of black color and beneath a simple, white shirt half-buttoned up, exposing the middle of his chest and upper abs. Additionally, Shanks was wearing pants cut below the knee, collected halfway up the shin , plain brown one with golden buttons down the outer leg sides, and a red sash around his waist to keep his shirt tucked inside and behind him was a sword in a green sheathed i guessed that was his as it have been giving me the same vibes of being unfathomable just like the vibes i was getting from Shanks .
how has Luffy been is he still going around saying he is going to be the next pirate king .
Yeah, it became his most used phrase some would be convinced to believe that it is his favorite words .
What about you Ryuu what do you think of Luffy's dream ?! .
I believed that he will be able to do it until Ace said that he wanted the title for himself .
He will cry about for a few days but he will recover haha .
Oh, tell me how would you achieve that ? .
I will show the whole world my strength by defeating the strongest man in the the seas .
Ooh, Whitebeard huh , are you sure that you have what it takes to be able to take him down , You both are strong but the rest of your crew you need to understand that Whitebeard have an entire fleet under him .
That's why i'm challenging him in a one on one match the winner take all that the loser have and more we already burned his flag in Fish-man Island so there is no backing down .
What about you Ryuu do you believe you guys can take up on a Yonko ? .
before meeting you here i was saying maybe we will be able to win but now i'm beginning to have my doubts but there's no way for retreat so we will just do our best and leave the rest to fate .
The crew : Ace come and join us for a drink .
Sure coming right up , Ace moved to drink with our crew members .
Still doing your best and leaving the rest to fate since your escape from Mary Geoise aren't you Ryuu .
