After the war,
In an unknown water in the New World, on the slightly worn Oro Jackson.
The sky was especially clear after the rain. As soon as the weather improved, Roger began to call for a new round of banquets.
Reason... just think of one.
Let's celebrate for escaping Garp's pursuit once again!
"The party is about to begin!!!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
As the captain raised his glass loudly, the rest of the crew responded with laughter, and the deck was filled with a lively and heroic atmosphere.
"Bang—"
In this lively atmosphere, the sound of a door opening suddenly did not seem surprising. No one even noticed that a red-haired kid with a big bump on the back of his head was looking around with gritted teeth.
The straw hat on the kid's head was tilted because of the big bag, which made him look a little funny, causing the crew members who saw him nearby to laugh at him.
"Did your head get injured in the previous sea battle, Shanks?"
Roger, who was drinking enthusiastically while holding a bottle of wine, saw him, this promising young man of the new era whom he was very optimistic about. He walked up to him, touched his head, and asked with a smile,
"No...where is Ronan?"
Shanks seemed reluctant to mention the bump on his head and changed the subject with an awkward look on his face.
After he woke up, he grabbed Buggy and asked him what was going on with the bump on his head. Buggy was also an ungrateful person. In order to divert the wrath, he sold Ronan at the speed of light.
It is true that Shanks thought he was a very easygoing person, but when his friend hit him with a club, which knocked him unconscious and left him with a big bump, he felt a little embarrassed.
Everyone knows that what Shanks values most, besides his partners, is his own face.
After nine years of debut, this is the first time I have encountered such a disrespectful guy.
So, the young Shanks, who had been smooth sailing for so many years, became popular.
He wanted to prove himself, or to avenge this bag.
Walking through the lively banquet, Shanks kept scanning the surroundings, looking for traces of Ronan.
Finally, he was found among a group of strong men.
This guy is eating barbecue.
He is still the type who eats big bone sticks and drinks crazily. He looks relaxed and relieved. In the original world, he is the top eater.
"Oh? Shanks, why are you staring at me? Do you want to eat barbecue too?"
"Why are you holding a knife? This is already cut. There's meat all over the bone."
"What? A fight between men? I'm too hungry now. Wait until I'm full. You don't want to win unfairly, do you?"
"I'm so full, you can understand, let me digest it for a while."
"...Wait a minute, I've digested it, but I ate too much just now. I need to poop now. Do you want to come with me?"
"Are you done yet? You have to wait outside the door even when you're taking a shit. You insist on a duel, right?"
"Well, look at me mopping up shit!"
Shanks knew about Ronan's natural strength and abnormal Observation Haki, so when faced with this weapon with "magic damage", he chose to retreat temporarily.
There is no other way. He is not afraid of a real fight. Even if he loses, it doesn't matter. At most, he will have to lie down for a few days with a bandage wrapped around his waist.
But he is really scared of the mop being stained with shit!
However, because of this incident, Shanks kept staring at Ronan in the next few days, which made him very uncomfortable.
Forget it, a kid is a kid, let him fight.
Ronan shook his head, took out an ordinary long sword from the storage room, and threw it to Shanks who was still angry.
He caught it in a panic, only to see Ronan hook his index finger at him with a cynical smile on his face.
"You bastard!"
Shanks was a little excited, because he saw that Ronan was finally willing to fight him. He immediately held the knife in one hand and was ready to strike. Seeing that Ronan was standing there without moving, he was not going to endure it anymore.
"Are you going to use the gun on your back? I won't give you a chance to shoot."
He admitted that Ronan's spear skills were indeed powerful, but he was not afraid of close combat.
Seeing Ronan's expression, Shanks was a little dissatisfied. He kicked his feet and chopped towards Ronan.
The swordsmanship he learned from Rayleigh and Roger is indeed brilliant and powerful.
But even though they were taught by the same master, they obviously couldn't break Ronan's moves.
"Whoosh—"
"Whoosh—"
"Whoosh—"
Ronan closed his eyes and didn't attack. He just kept tilting his head, turning around, and tightening his abdomen...
"You bastard Ronan! Are you planning to keep hiding like this?"
Shanks blushed, he felt like he was being tricked.
"...Since you want me to use a weapon, fine."
Ronan opened his eyes. He wanted to practice his Observation Haki skills, but he had no choice but to take out the knife he had taken from Buggy.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have a smaller knife than this."
"What a joke!"
Facts have proved that the strength of peers with and without Haki is completely unequal, even if this person is Red Hair Shanks,
However, at the age of nine, he could only use his swordsmanship to fight against Ronan, but every blow was accurately blocked by Ronan with his knife as if it was a joke.
Vibrating knife×N
However, the full-strength chop was obviously unable to shake Ronan's extraordinary strength, and he could only be forced to retreat again and again.
"Shanks, he was completely suppressed by Ronan."
There were many crew members watching the show around, including Roger, Rayleigh and Scopper Gaban. Looking at this situation, Rayleigh shook his head and sighed,
Although it seemed to them that it was just a fight between weaklings, Ronan was now firmly overpowering Shanks with his Observation Haki and super strength.
And in their experience, these natural monsters almost without exception have the qualifications of a king.
"With these little guys here, the future will definitely be exciting!" Roger laughed.
Apart from these three, the rest are some lively guys who love to watch the fun. After all, they are pirates, and what they like most is to watch the fun.
Ronan's master, Petermoo, even took the opportunity to open a betting odds.
Ronan: One to One
Shanks: Ten to one
Tie: 5 to 1
This move even attracted Roger to excitedly take out his treasure to place a bet.
"Aus, well done, you won the victory in one go!"
"Hey! Shanks, don't give up so easily!"
"Huh??? What are you talking about? No matter how you look at it, Shanks can't win."
"What if? That's ten to one."
"Gamblers will not die well!"
The crew members were arguing heatedly, and Roger also placed a bet, cheering for Shanks, who had little support.
Although he could see that Shanks had almost no chance of winning, he still had to support him since he was a child.
Anyway, the treasures used for betting were snatched not long ago, and he couldn't use them himself.
Just when everyone was excitedly cheering for the battle,
Ronan's Observation Haki suddenly seemed to sense something, a strange feeling, and then a voice sounded in his ears.
"It's a draw, Ronan."
"Uncle Petermoo?"
(This kind of Observation Haki was used in the movie Red. Yasopp and Usopp were in two different dimensions, but they could communicate and listen with Observation Haki)
