One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 318: Red-Haired Reinforcements!

Chen Ye followed Shanks' gaze.

His Observation Haki spread out instantly.

next second.

Chen Ye sensed a powerful aura.

What a sharp aura!

It wasn't the overwhelming aura of a conqueror.

It is a sword aura that is pure to the extreme.

A sharp edge capable of cutting through the sea breeze, sunlight, and space.

There are very few people on this sea who possess this kind of aura.

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow, his face showing interest.

"Oh? Who?"

Even though he already knew the answer in his heart, he still asked a question.

Shanks stroked the stubble on his chin, his tone filled with anticipation and a hint of mischievous schadenfreude.

"He's a swordsman too!"

……

On the sea.

A uniquely shaped small boat drifts with the current.

It looks like a coffin.

The ship had a cross-shaped mast, and the black sails were plain.

There was only one person on the boat.

The man sat with his legs crossed, his posture elegant yet aloof.

He wore a black top hat with white fur trim, a burgundy patterned shirt, and a long black overcoat.

He was wearing a cross on his chest.

The most striking thing was the knife on his back.

An exaggeratedly large black knife.

The blade was as black as ink, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

One of the twelve supreme grade swords.

night.

The world's greatest swordsman.

Jolac Mihawk.

Eagle Eye.

At this moment, Hawkeye was holding a life card, watching the island slowly become clearer in front of him.

His expression remained as cold as ice, devoid of emotion.

But deep within those eagle eyes, a hint of unconcealed doubt flashed.

"Red hair..."

Hawkeye muttered to himself, his voice cold and sharp.

"You called me to a place like this so early in the morning."

"He even used the favor from that bet."

"If you're only here to drink with me, I'll use 'Night' to slash your ship."

Eagle Eye can sense it.

An extremely terrifying aura lingers on the island ahead.

He had the scent of a white beard.

It has the aura of red hair.

There was also a... powerful yet familiar aura.

"Is he here too?"

Hawkeye's lips curled into a very faint smile.

That was the expression of someone who had discovered a formidable opponent.

They then rushed rapidly toward the Red-Haired Pirates' base.

……

shore.

The Red-Haired Pirates' officers also sensed that approaching aura.

As Yasopp was cleaning his gun, his hand trembled, and he almost discharged it accidentally.

"Feeding...this feeling gives me goosebumps..."

Yasopp looked up at the sea, his expression a little strange.

"Boss, you brought that monster over?"

Raki Lu, who was gnawing on meat, stopped and mumbled:

"Hawkeye? Isn't that guy the one who hates crowds the most?"

"Besides, isn't he one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in name only? Is there nothing wrong with him coming here?"

Ben Beckman exhaled a smoke ring, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea? That title is just a tool for that man to pass the time."

"He can throw it away anytime he wants."

"but……"

Beckman glanced at Shanks.

"The fact that you managed to call him here means you're really planning something big."

Shanks smiled but offered no explanation.

He turned to look at his mother beside him, his eyes softening.

"Mom, I'll introduce you to a friend later."

"Although he looks cold and aloof, like a stone, and speaks harshly."

"But he's a trustworthy guy."

"and……"

Shanks touched the famous sword "Griffin" at his waist.

"His swordsmanship is indeed formidable."

Shanks' mother nodded, somewhat bewildered.

She didn't know Hawkeye or the world's greatest swordsman.

But she could sense it.

The person my son is talking about must be very strong.

Anyone who can help their son is a good person.

"They're here."

Chen Ye suddenly spoke.

The voice just fell.

A black slash came from the sea without warning.

This strike was not intended to kill.

But it's extremely sharp.

It flew close to the sea surface, cutting a bottomless trench in the ocean.

The slash was aimed straight at Shanks.

Swift as lightning.

"A greeting gift? That's so typical of him."

Shanks shook his head helplessly.

He didn't draw his sword.

He didn't even move his feet.

His gaze narrowed slightly.

boom!

A burst of red and black Conqueror's Haki erupted instantly.

It was a visible shockwave.

It crashed directly into that black slash.

"Bang!!!"

The two forces collided in mid-air.

A loud bang was heard.

The air vibrated violently, and the strong winds made the coconut trees sway wildly.

The slashing wave was shattered by the domineering aura, turning into countless wind blades and disappearing.

And that coffin ship.

With this force, it came to a steady stop at the dock.

Hawkeye slowly stood up.

He didn't look at the red-haired regiment cadres around him who were on high alert.

I didn't even look at that mysterious Chen Ye.

His gaze fell directly on Shanks.

then.

It was transferred to Shanks' mother, who was standing next to Shanks.

For the first time, a clear look of surprise appeared in those eagle eyes that had remained unchanged for millennia.

He glanced at Shanks' mother's signature red hair.

Let's look at Shanks again.

Then look at Shanks' mother's excessively young face.

Hawkeye fell silent.

A full three seconds.

He slowly opened his mouth, his tone carrying a hint of absurdity:

"Red hair".

"You summoned me here in such a hurry..."

"So you just wanted me to see your... illegitimate daughter?"

The entire room fell silent.

"puff!"

Chen Ye couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yasopp and Raki Luke were so trying not to laugh that their faces turned purple.

Even Ben Beckman's lips twitched.

Shanks' smile froze instantly.

Several veins bulged on his forehead as he gritted his teeth and roared:

"Mihawk! Are you blind?!"

"This is my mom! My own mom!!!"

Hawkeye was stunned.

He then looked more closely at Shanks' mother.

indeed.

The expression in his eyes and brows is exactly like Shanks'.

but……

At this age...

"you……"

Hawkeye seemed to want to say something but didn't.

Finally, he sighed and pulled down the brim of his hat.

"It seems this sea has truly gone mad."

"Even you're starting to talk nonsense."

Shanks was so angry he almost drew his sword.

"Chen Ye! You explain yourself! This guy is completely unreasonable!"

Chen Ye smiled and stepped forward.

He looked at Hawkeye, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

The world's greatest swordsman.

This is excellent research material.

It is also an extremely strong fighting force.

"It's nice to see you again, Hawkeye Mihawk."

Chen Ye stretched out his hand, holding the gold coin between his fingertips.

"It may sound outrageous, but Shanks isn't crazy."

"This is his mother."

"As for why he's so young..."

Chen Ye pointed to himself.

"Because I brought her from thirty-eight years ago to the present."

Hawkeye's gaze instantly sharpened like a knife, locking onto Chen Ye.

As a powerful being standing at the pinnacle of the world.

He instantly understood the weight of those words.

Playing with time.

Reversing life and death.

"I see."

Since she is the red-haired woman's mother, this request for help makes sense.

He stepped off the small boat.

He walked up to Shanks.

Looking at this arch-rival and friend who has lost an arm but still stands at the top.

"Since she is your mother..."

"Then it's not just a family matter anymore."

"The world government will not allow this 'paradox' to exist."

Hawkeye's voice was still cold, but the meaning behind his words was clear.

he came.

They won't just watch and ignore it.

Shanks breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to his face.

"Ah, that's why we need you."

"How about it? Interested in going crazy with me?"

"The opponent is the Knights of God, or even... that place."

Shanks pointed in the direction of the Red Line.

Hawkeye followed his finger.

A fighting spirit ignited in his golden pupils.

He drew the black sword "Night" from behind him.

With a gentle wave.

A sharp whistling sound echoed through the air.

"snort."

"I've been living a boring life for too long."

"Occasionally, a few so-called 'gods' are cut down..."

"It seems pretty good."

Hawkeye sheathed the black knife back behind his back.

He turned to look at Fiona, gave a slight bow, and performed a standard gentleman's greeting.

"Excuse me, madam."

Fiona was a little flattered and quickly waved her hand in return.

Shanks watched this scene and laughed like a fool.

Chen Ye stood aside, watching this incongruous yet harmonious scene.

The Red-Haired Pirates.

The world's greatest swordsman.

In addition, there's the "variable" of oneself, who controls time and space.

This lineup.

Even if the Five Elders came, they would have to think twice.

"The cast is all here."

Chen Ye tossed the gold coins in his hand high into the air.

This time.

He didn't answer.

Let the gold coins fall into the sea, splashing up a small wave.

"Next."

"It's just a matter of waiting for the curtain to rise."

"Karin-sei..."

"I hope you like the 'big gift' I sent you."

Chen Ye gazed in the direction of the Red Earth Continent, a devilish smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

A sea breeze is beginning to rise.

The breeze rippled the surface of the spring water.

It also stirred up the towering waves that were about to crash on this vast sea.
