Bab 201: 200 Red-Hair Pirates
In the blue sky, numerous seabirds carried newspapers, flying in various directions, spreading the news and laughter across the world.
"Breaking news: The world's number one swordsman, 'Hawkeye' Dracule Mihawk, challenges Whitebeard, the Pirate King, they clash in a pure swordsmanship duel, and the outcome is revealed!"
"Hawkeye, lose!"
"Hawkeye willingly gave up the title of the world's number one swordsman, and Whitebeard has now claimed this prestigious title!"
Upon receiving these messages, the entire world erupted with excitement.
Hawkeye and Whitebeard, both world-renowned figures and top-tier masters, faced off in this epic clash.
During this period, the fame of Pirate King Whitebeard soared to new heights.
Moreover, Hawkeye's status as the world's number one swordsman had already become deeply ingrained in everyone's minds.
And the fact that Whitebeard claimed the title of the world's number one swordsman in a battle against Hawkeye is sure to create a significant impact.
The battle between Whitebeard and Hawkeye has become the talk of the town in New World, with everyone discussing it as a hot topic.
Upon hearing the news, the Red Hair Pirates, who had intended to visit Whitebeard, were swift to catch wind of the situation.
But there has been no suitable opportunity, because he has many things to arrange first, and considering that he will meet Whitebeard during this period, Red-Haired Shanks had been cautious of potentially arousing suspicion from the other Four Emperors.
Therefore, Red Hair has been delaying the matter, and now, after he heard of the battle between Hawkeye and Whitebeard, he suddenly became very interested.
"I never thought Whitebeard would outmatch Hawkeye in swordsmanship. That's quite a revelation."
Standing on the bow of the ship, the Red-Hair said with a sigh, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when he was fighting with Hawkeye in his mind.
Back then, they engaged in hearty battles, but it was all in good spirits. In those years, Hawkeye enjoyed sparring with Red Hair.
However, things changed when Red Hair lost an arm protecting Luffy. Since then, Hawkeye has never looked for him again.
Hawkeye believed that even if he emerged victorious, the victory would be somewhat hollow, and the joy of the battle would be lost.
The crew gathered behind Red Hair, and lately, they often heard Red Hair expressing his admiration for Whitebeard with a sigh.
"The most important thing is that the title of the world's number one swordsman was given by Hawkeye on his own initiative.
"It can be seen that Hawkeye has accepted his defeat."
Benn Beckman couldn't help but praise Hawkeye, and the red hair nodded.
"Of course, Hawkeye is a very arrogant guy. He has lost to Whitebeard. How could he continue to hold the title?"
"But I didn't expect Whitebeard to be so strong. During this period, news of him defeating Kizaru, Garp, and Hawkeye continued making wave in these sea"
"It makes me feel that he has returned to his prime, which is a bit weird."
Benn Beckman was a little puzzled.
"It's still too early to draw conclusions. His resurrection is already weird enough, and now his strength surpasses anything we've seen before"
Red Hair remarked, contemplating the mysterious circumstances regarding Whitebeard
"Did he be resurrected by some devil fruit power?"
Benn Beckman said suspiciously.
Although he hasn't seen it, it doesn't mean that kind of fruit doesn't exist. Even if there is a Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, no one can guarantee that there is nothing missing.
Red-hair also considers this idea as a small possibility.
"As far as I know, there's a fruit that might grant immortality and perhaps even bring people back to life" Shanks speculated.
"Are you talking about Surgeon-surgeon Fruit?"
Benn Beckman thought for a while before remembering.
The Surgeon-surgeon Fruit is a superpower fruit. Its user can create a space globally or in a hemisphere, freely cut, exchange, and splice anything within that space, even swapping two minds in different body
Moreover, the most important thing is that if the Surgeon-surgeon Fruit ability user has enough talent, he can unlock the ultimate ability of Surgeon-surgeon Fruit..
That is to give an immortal life to a human being, and perhaps it can also bring people back to life.
"But right now, Trafalgar Law, one of the supernovas, is the current owner of the Surgeon-surgeon Fruit."
"With his current strength, reaching this level doesn't seem possible"
The Red-Hair analyzed, and Benn Beckman nodded in agreement.
"True, if Trafalgar Law can truly bring back Whitebeard, using this ultimate ability might cost him his life in return."
"And since he doesn't appear to be dead, we can likely rule out this possibility"
Since the speculation was inconclusive, Red Hair didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he instructed the crew to report any recent movements of the other Four Emperors.
Red-Hair gathered that there was some activity on Big Mom's side, indicating a possible offensive in the making as she started to assemble people.
However, from the trends, he still doesn't know the exact location. Considering the involvement of the Four Emperors, it's likely not a small-scale affair.
Having this information, Shanks also plans to check it out. If it's not a particularly significant incident, he won't intervene rashly.
"Beckman, keep a close eye on Big Mom. I'll be heading to Whitebeard's territory tomorrow, and from there, everything is up to you"
Red Hair confessed to Benn Beckman, who nodded in understanding. He knows the mind of his captain very well.
Even Hawkeye took the initiative to challenge Whitebeard, and Red Hair couldn't just sit still. Of course, he wanted to face Whitebeard immediately.
Only by experiencing it personally and fighting Whitebeard in person, he can truly understand Whitebeard's current strength.
Perhaps it's simply the desire for a good fight that's pushing Red Hair, but there's also a hint of apology towards Whitebeard in his feelings.
During the summit war, his original goal was to prevent Whitebeard from wage war with the Marines. Unfortunately, he couldn't save Whitebeard in the end.
So, when Red Hair discovered that Whitebeard was still alive, he felt a sense of relief and happiness.
However, when Benn Beckman heard that Red Hair wanted to go to Whitebeard's territory alone, he too found himself deep in thought.
Benn Beckman thinks it's not suitable to let Red Hair go alone, especially considering how chaotic the situation is in the New World right now.
Allowing Red Hair to go alone might be dangerous. Even though the chance is slim, it's not something that can be overlooked.
Since they will pay attention to other Four Emperors, other Four Emperors will definitely pay attention to them as well
The information about Red Hair heading to the Whitebeard Pirates will likely reach them beforehand, and that might lead to a confrontation.
Considering that several Four Emperors might get involved, Benn Beckman thought it wise for safety reasons that they accompany Red Hair.
"Captain, if we're going, it should be an official visit. We'll go with you. It's safer that way"
Red Hair could sense that Benn Beckman and the other crew members also wished to meet Whitebeard, so he agreed to their proposal.
