Chapter 263 The Red-Haired Pirates' Dire Situation

After the live stream ended.

Not to mention the widespread panic and severe crisis of trust within the navy.

Even in the territory of Shanks, one of the Five Emperors, a major disturbance has broken out.

Some captains of affiliated pirate crews within the Red-Haired Grand Fleet never expected that their leader would actually be a Celestial Dragon!

Moreover, he is the biological son of the current Five Elders.

What kind of nonsense is this?

If they encountered the pirate crews affiliated with the other five Emperors, they would probably be laughed to death.

These pirates are actually subordinates of the Celestial Dragons.

This identity is such a disgrace to pirates.

Even though they deeply respect Shanks, the Emperor, they cannot accept being the Celestial Dragons' lackeys.

In a short time, some of the affiliated pirate crews under the Red-Haired Pirates left the Red-Haired Pirates.

They would rather not have Shanks' protection than be labeled as subordinates of the Celestial Dragons.

In a certain sea area of ​​the New World.

On a pirate ship with a red dragon head.

The crew members of the Red-Haired Pirates had all fallen silent.

Ben Beckman silently smoked, the smoke swirling around him. Yasopp lowered his head, expressionlessly wiping his sniper rifle. Raki Lu had meat in his mouth, chewing stiffly, but it tasted completely different from before.

Dozens of Den Den Mushi on the Redford were ringing incessantly.

There were captains asking about the truth, and there were captains wanting to leave the Red-Haired Pirates...

Navigator Bendick Snake, musician Benk Bingge, ship's doctor Hongo, combatant Lyme Jones, Roaring Gabu...

Everyone was on the phone, and their expressions grew increasingly grim.

The furious Gabu had already started cursing at the Den Den Mushi.

Red-haired Shanks gripped the famous sword Griffin tightly, his eyes filled with rage.

That bastard Luo Ji, why did he have to betray him?!

Now that Shanks' true identity has been revealed, countless pirate crews are likely to try and bring down this Yonko who only reigned as Emperor of the Sea for four years.

Perhaps soon, the Five Emperors system will return to the era of the Four Emperors.

"Does Luo Ji want to expand into the New World and has his eye on our territory?"

After much thought, Shanks wondered what else Luo Ji might be after besides coveting the territory of a Yonko.

They seem to have never clashed with Luo Ji World Group, nor have any conflicts broken out between them.

The Luo Ji World Crew may be able to dethrone the Red-Haired Pirates and restore the Four Emperors of the New World.

"Perhaps this is his first step toward becoming the ruler of the new world. Not only us, but the other four emperors are also his targets."

Beckman let out a deep breath; his Red-Haired Pirates had already been served the first dish by Luo Ji.

The thought of the terrifying lineup of Luo Ji World Group sent chills down his spine.

I've heard that the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates have officially formed an alliance to fight against the World Government and the Luo Ji World Pirates.

Furthermore, Kaido of the Beasts and Yamato of the Luo Ji World Pirates also have a father-daughter relationship.

The Red-Haired Pirates also considered forming an alliance with Whitebeard, but Whitebeard directly rejected the offer.

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Luo Ji World Pirates have some connection, so they don't seem worried about Luo Ji attacking them.

Right now, the Red-Haired Pirates are indeed the most suitable target and prey for the Luo Ji World Crew.

"What's there to be afraid of! We can always fight them to the death!"

"If the Red-Haired Pirates want to devour our crew, the Luo Ji World Crew will have to lose a few teeth!"

After angrily slamming down a Den Den Mushi, Gabu yelled, then furiously picked up another constantly ringing Den Den Mushi and continued his tirade.

"Does Luo Ji intend to dominate the new world?"

Shanks's expression was serious; it seemed it was time for Luffy to set sail as well.

But given such a harsh environment, it's uncertain whether he can grow up successfully.

The Luo Ji World Crew is too strong, so strong that even the Red-Haired Pirates have to give way.

Moreover, the World Government is now fully committed to its power, and even the Four Emperors dare not leave the New World easily.

They were terrified of being besieged by the Five Elders and the Knights of God.

"Perhaps we should give up those territories and affiliated pirate crews, and return to the free and unfettered voyages of yesteryear."

"If only Shanks could successfully recruit Hawkeye Mihawk into our pirate crew!"

Beckman thought for a long time. Since most of the affiliated pirate crews did not want to stay under the Red-Haired Pirates, he decided to give them all up, since they were all old, weak, sick and disabled pirate crews anyway.

He took them in initially only because he pitied them and also to enhance his prestige as the new Yonko.

"Tell them the truth: those who want to leave, let them go. It's dangerous for them to stay with us."

Red-haired Shanks instructed the people who were still on the phone, saying that he never forced anyone.

After making his choice, he felt much better.

At worst, I can go back to the days before I became one of the Four Emperors; that's not unacceptable.

"As for Mihawk, I also wanted to recruit him, but he simply refused."

Red-Haired Shanks shrugged. It wasn't that he hadn't tried to recruit Mihawk; he had even invited Marco.

"Since Shanks has made his decision, let's just be like Hawkeye Mihawk and become a free and unrestrained Five Emperors pirate crew."

After Shanks and Beckman's moods improved, Yasopp also became more open-minded.

In any case, they didn't care much about their affiliated pirate crews and territories.

If the Luo Ji World Group wants to take it, then let's just give it to them.

"Haha, four years of hard work have been wasted in one day. Let's just stick to traveling the world."

Let's watch Uta's concert and wait for Luffy to grow.

Raki Lu laughed just as heartlessly, and the meat in his mouth tasted delicious.

Other officers who were on the phone dealt with their subordinate captains even faster.

Despite feeling somewhat unwilling and annoyed, he had no choice but to carry out Shanks' will.

"Forget it, forget about the territory. Let's go to Elbaf and have some fun for a few months."

Red-Haired Shanks forced a smile; he truly didn't want to confront the aggressive Luo Ji World Group head-on.

Now that the Luo Ji World Group has successively captured Impel Down and Enies Lobby, it is estimated that they will soon enter the New World, seize and control a territory, and confront the World Government in a full-scale conflict.

If Luo Ji really wants to dominate the New World, the free and unrestrained Red-Haired Pirates would actually be safer.

The Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates, who have their own bases, will probably be in an even worse situation, constantly worried about an invasion by the Luo Ji World Pirates.

The Red-Haired Pirates' officers could only console themselves with this thought.

The force of Elbaf is very powerful, and Shanks doesn't want to give up on it, so he wants to communicate with them frequently and maintain a friendly relationship.

Four years ago, he helped the giants defeat Prince Loki, who had caused chaos at sea, and brought him back to Elbaf, thus gaining the giants' friendship.

At that time, Loki's bounty had already reached 26 billion Berries.

This battle played a significant role in Shanks's ability to maintain his position as one of the Four Emperors.
