Chapter 676: Research on the truth behind Shanks’ tragic defeat at the hands of the King of Offshore
Adrian looked up at the sky.
He had just arrived in a hurry, so most of his attention was focused on the fierce battle between the Redfors and the treasure ship in the sky, so that he subconsciously thought that the scene of rolling dark clouds in the sky was a paradise. normal meteorological changes during the period.
But actually...
Adrian narrowed his eyes slightly and used the talent [Disaster Power] derived from Nidhogg, the Dragon of the End, and then very clearly perceived the indescribable power that filled the sky. The "smell of doom" everywhere!
That’s right!
This celestial phenomenon of dark clouds looming over the city is an artificially created advantage of timing created by CP0's deputy commander Huang Jiu using his "Superman Type·Doom Fruit"!
'It's really a devil fruit with terrifying abilities... Moreover, the Arid Eagle has developed it to a very high degree. It can extend the power of misfortune from living organisms to the natural environment, and can indirectly control the misfortunes that exist in nature... …'
Adrian lowered his eyebrows and turned his attention back to the battle between Shanks and the Eagle.
‘This level of fruit ability can already be seen as extending its development to other dimensions! Just like the original ghost fruit, after the [ghost control] ability is upgraded to LV9, it can extend the ghost ability to other dimensions...'
‘In addition, judging from the attack transfer scene just now, the ‘fruit of misfortune’ of the eagle has already involved... thoughts? cause and effect? Or...fate? ’
Under Adrian's silent gaze, the intensity of the battle between Shanks and the Eagle continued to increase.
But as time goes by, Shanks is gradually falling into a disadvantage, and it seems a bit difficult to connect with the Abandoned Eagle's attack.
The reason is simple.
Although the battle on this sea is mainly based on the philosophical battle between physical monsters and muscular men...
However, due to the existence of various devil fruits with strange abilities, many battles also require the support of sufficiently advanced combat literacy and ability intelligence to proceed normally!
This situation is particularly obvious in the battles between Superman-type Devil Fruit users.
The most famous example is the "Superman Straw Fruit" of Hawkins and Huo Banxian, one of the most evil generations! (Well, Huo Banxian is really not a tarot card fruit user)
The ability of the straw fruit allows Hawkins to create a secret scarecrow hidden inside the body as a substitute. When attacked by others, the scarecrow substitute can withstand any damage suffered by Hawkins himself and transfer all the damage to other people. !
This extremely weird ability can be called "unsolvable" until it is completely discovered by others!
Even if the enemy sees through the straw fruit's substitute ability, there is no good way to solve it!
Of course...
Many people also know Huo Banxian's final result...
The substitute BUG of the straw fruit was solved by Kira in the form of a bug... (Note)
Just... quite outrageous...
Shanks' strength is indeed very superb. Whether it is his domineering aura or his swordsmanship, he is enough to rank among the top in the sea, not to mention that he even teamed up with Katakuri to kill the resurrected Charlotte Lingling!
But the hard power of Huangjiu is also very superb. As the deputy commander of CP0 and the strongest second shield of the Tianlong people, its strength level is also above LV100!
The most terrible thing is that Shanks knows very little about the abilities of the Abandoned Eagle.
The latter used the World Government's internal intelligence to collect Shanks's combat capabilities!
There is already a gap between the two sides in terms of hard power. Coupled with the strange and incomprehensible Fruit of Doom, it is understandable that Shanks is at a disadvantage.
Adrian had no doubt that Shanks would eventually defeat the Ara Eagle.
Fight...Be beaten...Explode...Jedi's counterattack...
This is the normal treatment that a Straw Hat boy should have.
If it were Straw Hat Luffy more than ten years later, he might have to repeat this situation several times, such as the battle with Master Kai from Wano Country. The rubber guy who couldn't be beaten to death or beaten was nothing more than that. ……
cough! Back to business.
Adrian believed that Shanks would be able to defeat the Araji in the end, but he also believed that he would pay a very heavy price.
As for the reasons, there are several aspects.
Putting aside the strength gap between Shanks and the Eagle, as well as the interference of the Doom Fruit, etc.
Through his prophetic intelligence ability, Adrian knew that the final result of this battle between the red-haired pirates and the guards of the treasure ship in the sky would be that Shanks would take away the rubber fruit and Fozzie Fu would be thrown into prison (later Escape and join the Beast Pirates)!
But...
After successfully taking away the rubber fruit, Shanks' trajectory became very suspicious...
Adrian's slightly erratic eyes looked at Shanks, who was in the "protagonist's explosive seed accumulation period", and his eyes seemed to penetrate the future.
Shanks, the sea emperor who is full of mysteries, has encountered two peerless enemies in his life:
One is the bandit king Sig who has killed 56 sea emperors!
The second one was the King of the Offshore who tore off his left arm with just one bite!
Regardless of whether it was a joke or not, Adrian had really never been able to understand how these two things happened.
If Bandit King Sig puts a plate of food on Shanks' head, the latter doesn't feel angry at all, and can be regarded as being optimistic and generous by nature.
But the King of Offshore simply bit off Shanks' left arm, and Adrian couldn't find any reason at all.
Don't say "bet it on the new era"!
You know, the left hand is the dominant hand of the great swordsman Shanks!
Not to mention that Shanks also possesses top-notch overlord-colored Haki that can easily cause sea beasts to fall into coma!
Even in the original timeline, when Shanks was bitten off by the King of the Offshore, he directly forced back the King of the Offshore by bursting out his domineering aura!
But when he saw the vulture holding the fruit of misfortune, Adrian suddenly understood many things.
There is no doubt about it.
In the original timeline, Shanks must have defeated CP0's Wild Eagle this time and took away the rubber fruit!
But at the same time, the Awakening's Fruit of Misfortune, or other abilities, also caused serious hidden damage to Shanks!
So much so that...
Shanks, who was able to compete with Hawkeye Mihawk as the world's greatest swordsman a year ago, was unable to kill—no, [repulse] a small King of the East China Sea and the Inshore Sea a year later!
Not only that.
Adrian believes that in addition to Shanks himself, the red-haired pirates will also be seriously damaged in this operation.
The most powerful proof is that during the year he was stationed in the East China Sea, Shanks went to Xiluobu Village to recruit Jesus Bu to serve as the sniper of the Red-haired Pirates!
"Lord Shanks...you should have understood the gap between you and me by now..."
The wild eagle walked leisurely through Shanks's flying slashes. Those solid sword energy, which was enough to separate gold and jade, seemed to subconsciously avoid the man wearing a pure white mask, without causing any harm. threaten.
"For the sake of your identity, may my subordinates take you to the Holy Land of Mary Joa...and allow you to accept the trial of Lord Wulaoxing for this act of robbing heavenly gold?"
"What are some high-sounding words?"
Shanks spat, but his eyes were as bright as lights, containing a vigorous fighting spirit that was ready to go.
"I won't fall here!"
"Because you are also a man who wants to be the Pirate King?"
The magnetic voice exploded in the ears of Shanks and Huangjiu like thunder.
The howling wind carried away the noise of the battle on the nearby Redfors.
In the silence, a figure in a suit and leather shoes slowly emerged from the void. Such a strange scene made the captain of the red-haired pirate group and the deputy eldest brother of CP0 shrink their pupils and their hearts beat wildly.
"Adrian???"
"White Ghost!!?"
"It's been a while, Shanks."
Adrian first showed a friendly and kind smile towards Shanks, and then looked in the direction of the eagle, his face calm.
"As well as Mr. CP0 Vice-President, who we have met once before, I also have some questions that I would like to ask you."
Whether it was because of his status as a level 100 monster, his more than 2 billion experience points, or the requirements of the [Sea Emperor]'s killing mission above level 100, Adrian would not give up the head of the Abandoned Eagle. necessary!
Of course...Adrian will not forget Shanks' existence.
After all...
Before saying goodbye to Toriyama Island, Shanks still owed him two full Devil Fruits!
As a responsible and compassionate creditor.
Adrian feels...
One rubber fruit can completely offset the debt of two devil fruits!
Thank you very much for the 100 starting coin reward of "Why does time go by and I don't change"! !
Comment content:
The battle about Huo Banxian’s Scarecrow Fruit is roughly like this.
A battle broke out between Hawkins and Kira, but because of the existence of the Scarecrow stand-in, Hawkins transferred all the damage he suffered to Kidd. At the same time, Huo Banxian also hurt Kidd by constantly self-mutilation, and then tried to destroy Kira The desire to fight...
Then...Chapter 1029 of the comic, Tower
Kira used the reason "Kid doesn't have a left hand (it was said to be cut off by Shanks), so even if he hits Hawkins' left hand, the damage will not be transferred to Kidd", he forcibly cut off the left hand. Hawkins' left hand defeated Hawkins again...
Well...
It’s quite nonsense
