Red Force, Red Hair Pirates.
They also received the news that Kaido was defeated by Caelan.
"Kaido has become a joke. He just declared war on Caelan two days ago, and he was defeated so quickly. Hahahaha!"
Yasopp laughed loudly.
"That's right. He was the one who declared war, but he was beaten at home."
"That's so funny, haha!"
On the deck, everyone was laughing and discussing.
It was obvious that Kaido wanted to cause trouble for Caelan, but instead he was attacked by Caelan and defeated within a day.
As one of the Yonko, this was really too embarrassing.
"You are actually mocking a Yonko? His defeat at the hands of Caelan only proves that Caelan is too powerful. It does not mean Kaido is weak."
"They defeated the entire Beasts Pirates in such a short time. If they came to fight us, how long could we last?"
Beckman said calmly, holding his pipe.
The Red Hair Pirates take the elite route, and each crew member has very high quality.
But compared to the Beasts Pirates, they are not much stronger.
If Caelan had won a hard-fought battle against the Beasts Pirates, he still believed they could defeat Caelan.
However, the Beasts Pirates were defeated too easily and fell into Caelan's hands in just one day.
Even when the Beasts Pirates were fighting on home soil, with all the advantages of time and place, they were still defeated so easily.
This meant that there was a huge gap between the Yonko and Caelan, one that was nearly insurmountable.
All of a sudden, everyone who had been laughing could no longer laugh.
Beckman had a point.
The reason Kaido was defeated quickly was not because he was too weak, but because Caelan was too strong.
They could not stop a Caelan like that.
"Didn't we meet that guy once in the East Blue? I think he is quite friendly."
"Besides, with Uta by his side, he should not attack us, right?"
Yasopp said with a smile.
"What Yasopp said makes sense."
Lucky Roux and the others echoed.
When they met in the East Blue, the God Slayer was drinking and chatting with them. Moreover, the princess of the Red Hair Pirates was still with Caelan.
No matter how you looked at it, they would not have to fight Caelan.
"Too naive. If Caelan were a pirate, or even a bounty hunter, you would be right." Beckman smoked his pipe, his gaze distant. "But he is the commander-in-chief of the Neo Navy, a great man who wants to change the world."
"The one we met in the East Blue had not yet established the Neo Navy. For a man with a dream, friendship over drinks is just a way to soften the blow. When the dream is to change the world, friendship over drinks counts even less."
"And Uta, she hates pirates to the core. She will not kill us, but she can put us in jail, right?"
Caelan, who established the Neo Navy, is naturally opposed to pirates, and it is almost impossible for the two to coexist.
Even if they were good pirates under the banner of freedom, they would inevitably confront Caelan.
As for Uta, although she and Shanks reconciled, her hatred for pirates had not diminished at all. Maybe Uta would be the one to urge Caelan to lock them all up.
"Ah… this?"
Yasopp and the others were a little panicked.
They were a little panicked at the thought of facing Caelan, who could take out the Beasts Pirates in one day.
The Neo Navy had become a powerful force that surpassed the Yonko.
As the commander-in-chief of the Neo Navy, Caelan was extremely tough and terrifying.
Kaido provoked him, and on the third day he reached Wano, and the Beasts Pirates became history.
If the Red Hair Pirates blocked Caelan's way, it would not be impossible for him to attack them one day.
They laughed at Kaido, but when the Red Hair Pirates faced Caelan, how much stronger could they be than the Beasts Pirates?
"Shanks, what do you think?"
Beckman looked at Shanks.
Lucky Roux, Yasopp, and the others all looked at Shanks.
Shanks had remained silent since hearing the news.
"If Caelan wants to fight, then fight." Shanks said calmly, with great dominance. "At worst, die."
"Well…"
Everyone was speechless.
This resolve was indeed domineering.
"Shanks, you are the most powerful man in the world. Do you not have confidence?"
Yasopp asked in surprise.
In the past, Shanks had always been confident, no matter the situation.
"I am not afraid of fighting Caelan, but if I say I have the confidence to defeat someone who defeated Kaido in one day, then I am not the most domineering man. I would be the most arrogant fool."
Shanks freely admitted that he had no confidence.
Defeating Kaido, another Yonko, within one day was something Shanks could not do, not even close.
Being domineering at this time would not be dominance, it would be stupidity.
"However, no matter how powerful Caelan is, it has nothing to do with us for the time being."
Shanks said calmly, "What I have to do now is go to Marine Headquarters to rescue Captain Roger's son."
After saying this, Shanks ignored everyone's reactions and leaned on the railing to think.
Before the Whitebeard Pirates were defeated at Marine Headquarters, the Beasts Pirates were gone first.
During this month, the world had changed dramatically. Two of the once high-ranking Yonko were about to perish, and the Pirate King's bloodline was also about to come to an end.
It seemed that the era of pirates was coming to an end.
According to Captain Roger's will, this era should have been the era of pirates.
Nika was not the protagonist of the era, nor was Captain Roger's bloodline.
No matter how you looked at it, this era seemed like Caelan's one-man show, like his era alone.
To be honest, he was a little confused about this great pirate era.
Shanks looked out at the sea, confusion in his eyes.
(To be continued.)
