"Could he know my identity?"
Hearing Mr. Nox's words, Shanks was extremely shocked.
He only found out his identity two years ago when the Celestial Dragons came to find him. Hearing Mr. Nox's words, it was clear that he also knew about him being a Celestial Dragon.
"Mr. Nox, please rest assured. I, Shanks, am a famous Pirate. I was adopted by Captain Roger from a young age and grew up on a pirate ship. Naturally, I will not attach myself to the World Government. I still have to inherit Captain Roger's will and sail the World!"
Shanks said firmly.
He had already rejected the World Government before, so it was naturally impossible for him to admit that he was a Celestial Dragon now!
"Hahahaha, it seems Roger didn't misjudge you!"
"Since that's the case, let's talk about the second matter. As you know, all the Pirate Crew in the New World have formed an alliance to jointly fight against the World Government and the Marine. Only your Red Hair Pirates haven't joined this alliance yet!"
"Now, on behalf of the Limitless Pirates, I invite your Red Hair Pirates to join the Pirate Alliance and fight against the World Government with us!"
Mr. Nox said with a smile.
"As expected..."
Hearing Mr. Nox's invitation, the hearts of the Red Hair Pirates couldn't help but sink. Did this choice finally arrive?
"Mr. Nox, I'd like to ask, what will this Pirate Alliance do next?"
Shanks asked seriously.
"You haven't agreed to join the Pirate Alliance yet, so naturally, I won't tell you."
"However, I also know that your Red Hair Pirates are very similar to the former Roger Pirates and aren't interested in territory."
"So I can tell you in advance, if you join the Pirate Alliance, your task will be to block the Marine at Marineford and prevent them from leaving Marineford. You don't need to participate in other matters."
"After everything is over, you will also receive a generous reward!"
"Of course, other Pirate Crew will go with you for this task, so your Red Hair Pirates won't have to complete it alone."
Mr. Nox said with a smile....
Hearing Mr. Nox's words, the entire Red Hair Pirates fell silent, contemplating what Mr. Nox said.
"Okay, our Red Hair Pirates agree!"
After ten seconds of thought, Shanks agreed.
In fact, Mr. Nox had already made a concession. If their Red Hair Pirates were still ignorant of what was good for them, they would be disrespecting Mr. Nox.
Facing the incredibly powerful Mr. Nox, their Red Hair Pirates had no choice but to agree. The situation was stronger than them, there was nothing they could do!
"Hahahaha, welcome to the Pirate Alliance. This is our Limitless Pirates' special den den mushi. I will contact you with this then."
Mr. Nox handed over a large mobile phone to the Red Hair Pirates, and then left with Esdeath and the others.
"Father, since the Red Hair Pirates might side with the World Government, why not just destroy them directly? That way, there won't be any hidden dangers!"
Esdeath asked in confusion.
"There is no one in the World without hidden dangers. Even those Pirates in the current Pirate Alliance have hidden dangers. Destroying them is not the best solution. The best solution is to make them useful to oneself!"
Drake said indifferently.
Hearing Drake refute her words, Esdeath couldn't help but glare at her brother. Back then, her brother never dared to refute her, but she didn't expect that after so many years, her brother's wings had hardened! Facing Esdeath's glare, Drake was not flustered at all, as steady as an old dog. He was no longer the brother who was often oppressed by his older sister.
"Hahahaha, Esdeath, don't always like fighting and killing. In this World, just as Drake said, as long as he can be used for oneself, it's fine. Anyway, the Red Hair Pirates can't stir up any big waves."
Mr. Nox said with a smile.
"But Father, didn't you also prepare to 'destroy the Red Hair Pirates if they didn't agree'?"
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought us with you. After all, the Red Hair Pirates are no match for Father. It's easy for Father to defeat them."
"But to completely destroy them and not leave them any chance to escape, we need our help."
Esdeath pouted and said.
"Sister, Father's plan is Father's secret plan. Since it hasn't happened, you shouldn't have said it in front of Father. This will make Father feel very awkward."
Rhea couldn't help but interject.
"It's not awkward for Esdeath to say it, what's awkward is that Rhea, you directly pointed out my awkwardness!"
Listening to his two daughters, Mr. Nox couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Rhea, I heard you want to build the largest gourmet island in the New World. I feel that the Limitless Pirates' funds are a bit tight recently. That gourmet island project, let's suspend it, it's not very useful anyway."
Mr. Nox looked at Rhea with a half-smile.
"Ah, Father, no, that gourmet island is something I begged Mama for a long time to agree to build for me. How can it be stopped just like that!"
"Father, I was wrong!!"
Hearing Mr. Nox's words, Rhea's face instantly changed. She immediately grabbed Mr. Nox's arm and acted spoiled like when she was a child.
That was a gourmet island! She planned to invite all the best gourmet chefs in the New World to open shops there. At that time, she would be able to eat all kinds of the most top-notch gourmet food from all over the World just on the gourmet island. What a beautiful island that would be! She couldn't let this gourmet island project be stopped, otherwise, if she couldn't travel around the World, wouldn't she miss a lot of gourmet food in the World?
"Little devil, I can't handle you?"
Looking at Rhea's spoiled look, Mr. Nox couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
"Alas, it seems we still can't escape!"
Beckman couldn't help but sigh as he watched the Hades leave.
"Well, don't be so pessimistic. Anyway, our task is just to block Marineford. With two more New World Pirate Crew joining forces with us, the task won't be that difficult."
Yasopp said optimistically.
"That's true, but this feeling of being threatened is really uncomfortable. In the end, it's because we are too weak. When we become as strong as the Limitless Pirates, we won't need to care about the Limitless Pirates at all. At that time, we can roam freely on the Sea!"
Shanks said.
"I say, Captain, your ideal is very great. First of all, as the Captain, you should at least have the ability not to be defeated by Mr. Nox, not to mention defeating him!"
Beckman couldn't help but discourage Shanks.
"Hahahaha, that's really not easy, but I believe that in the future, I won't be worse than him!"
Shanks said confidently.
