After speaking, Shanks looked up at the Golden Ark above and continued solemnly, "I hope that before the World Government and the Navy arrive at Sky Island, Lord Senju Hashirama can end this hunting game..."
Shanks is a man who commands respect.
All the pirates or navy on the sea would give him face, even the Navy Admiral sometimes had to open a convenient door for him.
Of course.
There are also many people who do not give him face.
For instance, Edward Newgate, Whitebeard, or the Konoha Pirates crew.
Senju Hashirama, captain of the Konoha Pirates seemed somewhat helplessly sighed, he couldn't even make decisions for his own affairs, where does he have the authority to end the hunting game?
The vice-captain of the Konoha Pirates, Uchiha Madara's face directly drooped down, just a mere Red-haired Shanks dares to shout loudly here!
Uchiha Madara's body soared into the air, leaping directly down from the deck of the Golden Ark, his body landed steadily on the altar!
"Hey..."
"It's not up to you to give orders here..."
Uchiha Madara with disheveled hair revealed a pair of scarlet eyes, and a surge of Supreme King Haki instantly erupted from him!
This burst of Haki stirred up a storm on Sky Island, countless clouds were blown away by this Haki, even the forest's trees tipped to one side!
"Uchiha... Madara!"
"The vice-captain of the Konoha Pirates..."
Seeing Uchiha Madara suddenly appear, Shanks' expression became solemn, and the Supreme King Haki inside him suddenly roared and surged!
The two surges of Haki quickly began to clash!
The two streams of Haki in the sky continuously gathered towards the center like flowing clouds, black and red Haki arcs constantly flickered in the sky, the two streams of Haki endlessly compressed each other's space, as if the sky was torn into two halves!
Everyone on Sky Island trembled under the clash of the Supreme King Haki from both sides, one by one the Heavenly Celestial Dragons who were prey fell unconscious from the sweeping impact of Supreme King Haki...
The Blackbeard Pirates group were also trembling, only Blackbeard Teach watched this scene with eyes full of resentment, the Red-haired kid he once couldn't solve, actually grew to this level!
This level of Supreme King Haki collision, even Donflamingo who also possesses Supreme King Haki instinctively found a spot to hide away!
"Four Emperors Level Supreme King Haki..."
Donflamingo stood under a tree, looking up at the clouds in the sky gathered by Supreme King Haki colliding with one another, his teeth couldn't help but clench tightly!
He's not a match...
Neither Shanks nor Uchiha Madara, his Supreme King Haki is far inferior to theirs, Donflamingo can most directly feel the gap between them!
However...
Nearby, there are quite a few people who also possess Supreme King Haki...
Charlotte Lingling and Hundred Beasts Kaido floating around the skies of Sky Island watched Shanks and Uchiha Madara's Supreme King clash, clearly feeling the terror from both sides!
"Ma ma ma ma..."
Charlotte Lingling clenched her fist, suppressing the urge to release her Supreme King Haki: "Such a terrifying Supreme King Haki... It's making it hard for me to resist the impulse to want to fight with them..."
"Even a deputy has this level of Haki..."
Hundred Beasts Kaido snorted coldly, his dragon body flashed with black and red arcs wanting to try a clash with Shanks and Uchiha Madara!
"Kaido..."
Charlotte Lingling interrupted Hundred Beasts Kaido, giggled and said: "We're not here to fight... Even if you want to fight them, we'll have to wait until we find out the whereabouts of Pluto and Poseidon, don't delay my important matters..."
"Hmph... You're still the same as always!"
Hundred Beasts Kaido snorted coldly with dissatisfaction, yet he gave up the plan to continue, he doesn't mind giving the old woman face over small matters.
Above the Golden Ark.
Senju Tobirama watched the collision of the two Haki streams, his expression particularly serious: "This level of Haki, the opponent isn't to be underestimated either, the Supreme King Haki is wielded very skillfully..."
"Indeed, quite formidable..."
Senju Hashirama also nodded, unreserved in his praise, even a smile on his face: "Madara has Charkra that can adapt and merge with Supreme King Haki, helped him refine this magical power to such a degree, that red-haired young man merely trained Supreme King Haki to reach this level..."
"..."
Orochimaru and Red Sand Sasori looked at the Supreme King Haki clouds in the sky, their thoughts were identical, it's the power they lack and desperately want!
On the Red Force.
The group of Red Hair Pirates were somewhat shocked.
"Hey hey hey..."
"This is a bit too frightening..."
Yasopp, the sniper of the Red Hair Pirates felt somewhat uneasy, his hand reached for his sniper gun: "To actually contend with Shanks' Supreme King..."
"Should not be beyond our expectations..."
Ben Beckman didn't really care, he had expected such a thing, he could clearly feel the gap between himself and Uchiha Madara.
However...
A vice-captain's Supreme King Haki reaching such a level...
Ben Beckman looked up at the Golden Ark in the sky, his vigilance gradually heightened, surely the captain Senju Hashirama would not be much inferior!
"Mr. Madara... truly terrifying!"
Red-haired Shanks smirked lightly praising, attentively staring at Uchiha Madara opposite him, his palms slowly grasped onto the Western sword's hilt.
"Your Haki is also strong."
"Even Hashirama isn't much better than you..."
Uchiha Madara opened his palm, also unreserved in his praise for Red-haired Shanks: "Even though I've seen many strong people with Supreme King Haki, and might see many more in the future, you at least have a place..."
"That's really... thanks for the praise..."
Red-haired Shanks seemed a bit amused.
Red-haired Shanks had always been renowned for his exceptionally strong Supreme King Haki and Kenjutsu, even after Whitebeard's age gradually resulted in fewer actions, Shanks faintly holds the title of strongest Supreme King in the New World, unexpectedly praised to only have 'a place' one day...
Yet...
He wasn't exactly lying.
Because Red-haired Shanks knows very well, Uchiha Madara and the Navy Admiral's party have fought, broke through Holy Land Mary Geoise, have seen plenty of strong individuals, surely knows the difference between Supreme King Haki...
"But..."
"Your Supreme King also proves one thing..."
"Letting you join this hunting game is Konoha's mercy to the world..."
Uchiha Madara wasn't tall, yet displayed an air of disdain over the world, his sneer deeply cold: "Even with this level of Haki, don't be ungrateful, just accept Konoha's arrangements obediently..."
"Truly arrogant..."
Red-haired Shanks couldn't help but sigh.
The faces of the Red Hair Pirates subtly changed.
Arrogance...
So clearly and directly present within one person!
The thin line between human arrogance and confidence, sometimes indistinguishable, but all can see Uchiha Madara's arrogance!
"This is not good."
Red-haired Shanks shook his head, lifted the Western Sword Gryphon in his hand, his steps slightly paused: "Pirates are the freest men on the sea..."
"I dislike others arranging what to do, especially if these things interfere with our freedom, I prefer my fate in my own hands."
Pirates...
Do what they want to do...
Not accept someone's arrangements!
This is the philosophy Shanks embraced from a young age!
"Then let's fight!"
Uchiha Madara's body suddenly stepped on the clouds charging towards the Red Force!
"Just in time..."
"That's what I was thinking too!"
Red-haired Shanks' gaze flickered!
Shanks' steps leveraged off the deck, his silhouette suddenly rushed towards Uchiha Madara, the western sword in his hand passed in an arc!
A fierce slash accompanied by robust Supreme King Haki swung together at Uchiha Madara, seemingly to cut him in two with one stroke!
