"Shanks, it's good to see you again."
Kenshin walked over, looked at Shanks, and said, "But we are destined to not walk the same path."
He used his sword to pick up a bottle of wine, then waved his hand. "Maybe we'll never meet again. Thanks for helping me out."
After speaking, he walked out the door.
Shanks said with some emotion, "Goodbye, Big Brother Kenshin. When the demon descends, I will go to Wano Country."
Upon hearing the words "demon descends," Kenshin paused slightly, then left, with his back to Shanks, so Shanks couldn't see his expression.
The so-called demon descending is the return of Kozuki Oden.
Although Kozuki Oden was killed by Himura Kenshin, and even his body was burned in the fires of the Flower Capital, those who personally participated in that war knew that Kozuki Oden would definitely return.
If we estimate the time now, it may only be seventeen years.
That is to say, in seventeen years, a world-shaking war will definitely break out in Wano Country. The scale of that war may not be less than the battle between Roger and Aatrox.
Himura Kenshin doesn't look like a swordsman who can participate in that battle anymore, but Shanks, as someone who knows about that war, will definitely go.
Thinking about it carefully, perhaps he's going to replace the former Captain Roger and all his past companions to bring an end to the demon incident in Wano Country.
No one knows how much death will be brought by facing a demon lord at that time, but Shanks will not run away.
Kenshin left, and only the Red Hair Pirates and Hawk Eyes were left in the tavern. Even the owner ran away because of the pirates' power.
Unlike the Grand Line, where pirates are a common sight, in the Four Seas, pirates are the worst of the worst, not to mention that Shanks is a great pirate from the New World.
Hawk Eyes was also amazing at this time. Before becoming a Warlord of the Sea, his code name was 'Marine Hunter.' Just hearing this name shows how arrogant he was.
Other pirates run away from the Marines, but he's different. He became a Marine Hunter, specializing in hunting Marines.
Now, two people with great reputations in the New World are about to start a war in a poor, remote place in the North Sea?
"It's a pity, I can't feel any fighting spirit from a master like Himura Kenshin."
Hawk Eyes said with some regret
Shanks smiled. "Everyone has their own experiences. It's better not to judge other people's choices."
Hawk Eyes shook his head and said, "The fall of a strong person is always a pity."
"Then let's write the story of strong people's progress."
Shanks stood up from his seat. He didn't expect that he just wanted to come to the tavern for supplies, but he happened to meet Himura Kenshin and then met the Marine Hunter.
It seems that this meal is not to be eaten.
Hawk Eyes also stood up. The moment he stood up, a very strong aura burst out from his body, making him look like a sharp sword.
"You really are busy."
Beckman complained beside Shanks
Shanks laughed. He didn't want to be so busy either. The good reunion with Himura Kenshin was messed up by this guy Hawk Eyes, and he had some anger in his stomach.
But perhaps he wasn't that angry.
Because he really didn't want to see the once high-spirited Himura Kenshin now looking so disappointed and depressed...
Perhaps, as Kenshin said, they are no longer on the same path. Since they are not on the same path, seeing each other again will only add to the sadness.
"There are too many people on this small island. Let's go somewhere else."
Walking out of the tavern, Shanks looked at the entire town, which had become panicked because of their arrival. He couldn't help but shrug at Hawk Eyes. "Besides, with this situation, the Marines might come later."
"Indeed, there's no need for them to ruin things. Let's go somewhere else." Hawk Eyes also agreed.
Although they are opponents who will fight all out next, the two are calm at this moment, almost like old friends who have known each other for many years and just want to have a simple match.
They each took a boat and searched for an uninhabited island on the sea, and finally found a primitive island about three kilometers away from here.
The moment they got off the boat, the auras on their bodies suddenly changed!
!
Almost instantly, the figures of the two disappeared, and they rushed towards the center of the island at high speed.
"What, are we just waiting here?"
Yasopp leaned on the boat and said to the vice-captain Beckman
Beckman stood on the bow of the boat, looked at the two people moving towards the center, and said calmly: "If you want to see, go and see, if you don't want to be affected by their battle."
"Then never mind."
Yasopp said, "Anyway, I can probably see clearly from here."
"Yeah, you're a sniper, you can definitely see clearly."
The Red Hair Pirates didn't seem anxious at all, as if Shanks' opponent in the battle wasn't the powerful Hawk Eyes, but just an ordinary pirate.
They have a high degree of trust in Shanks' strength!
And the fact is indeed the case, in the previous battles, Shanks had never let them down.
Just because...
"What fast speed."
Hawk Eyes arrived in the center of the island, looked at Shanks, and couldn't help but praise him.
That's right, Shanks is very fast, very fast!
They set off at the same time, but by the time he arrived in the center, Shanks seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and his face didn't change at all, as if using that kind of speed didn't require any effort at all.
"Recently on the sea, I seem to have another title, 'Red Lightning'." Shanks smiled.
Facing Hawk Eyes, he didn't dare to be careless, and directly used the magic power of the Drive card.
"However, speed is only part of strength." Hawk Eyes said in a deep voice, "If you think speed is everything, you will lose!"
"Is that so, but unfortunately, I also agree that speed is not everything." Shanks' pupils widened, and the next moment, a huge amount of Conqueror's Haki poured out!
Conqueror's Haki directly shocked the entire island. Hawk Eyes felt the powerful Conqueror's Haki and finally knew that Shanks was indeed a powerful enemy. He couldn't help but get excited, and the blood in his body began to boil.
So strong, he might be the strongest enemy he has encountered since his debut!
In an instant, two people holding swords moved.
One has the speed magic of the Drive card, and the other has the sword enhancement of the Sword card. Two people who are stronger than themselves on the original world line have launched a battle of fate.
And this battle quickly spread and attracted the attention of many strong people.
