The most courageous pirate hunter

That man is ruthless. He's only been around for a short time and he's already started attacking the Four Emperors, and what's more, he succeeded!

Chapter 144 [The Troublemaker: Shanks]

"Shanks, you need to take a look at this newspaper!"

The Red Fosse.

The vehicle of Shanks, one of the Four Emperors.

Is there any big news?

Shanks, who was drinking, sat in his chair rather unceremoniously, looking at Beckman with some curiosity, since it wasn't easy to get Beckman to change his expression.

He then took the newspaper that Beckman handed him.

At first, I didn't take it seriously, but as I looked at it, things started to change.

"sure?"

"I'm sure. There's another video here, and I've examined it carefully; it's genuine."

Beckman lit a cigarette and turned on a video Den Den Mushi.

"This is indeed Kaido himself, and Charlotte Cracker. This Monarch organization and the King of Hunters is truly unexpected."

Beckman was shocked when he first saw the news.

Kaido actually failed.

Even if Shanks were to take action in a one-on-one situation, he wouldn't be absolutely certain of being able to capture Kaido, let alone capture him alive.

"Has this King of Hunters been in the news before?"

The red-haired man frowned.

I vaguely remember hearing the title of the King of Hunters somewhere.

"His first appearance was in the battle against the Shichibukai Doflamingo, then he captured Charlotte Smoothie, followed by Queen, Ulti, and others, as well as the Marine Doberman..."

Beckman remembers it very clearly.

He reads almost all the latest news reports, as it helps him understand the current world situation and analyze many things.

"I remembered."

Beckman's mention of it reminded Shanks of it too.

Then his expression grew increasingly serious.

Looking at the deeds of this King of Hunters, they all seem to be quite extraordinary.

"In the early days, the King of Hunters was a pirate hunter, but his battle with Katakuri on Heartland Island caused a volcanic eruption, which displaced a large number of civilians, leading to the Navy's bounty of 1.25 billion Berries."

As expected, Kaido and Cracker will eventually fall into the hands of the Navy.

Charlotte Linlin and the Beasts Pirates certainly won't stand idly by, so it's highly likely they'll attack the Navy, or even join forces.

It must be said that Beckman's intelligence allowed him to quickly analyze the general direction of the situation.

"If that's the case, the Navy will definitely send an admiral to escort them, and it might not be just one. Garp might even get involved. If the Navy really goes to war with the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, it will definitely affect the balance of power on the high seas."

The two pirate crews are also highly likely to suffer heavy losses. If both the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates are severely damaged, the New World will once again descend into a battle for the title of Yonko.

Shanks took a swig of wine, as if he could already see the chaotic new world. Although the new world has always been chaotic, since the birth of the Four Emperors, this chaos has not completely spiraled out of control, and in some ways it has remained relatively stable.

But as soon as the Four Emperors show a weakness, countless wolves will rush to tear them apart, and it is easy to imagine that there will be widespread devastation and rivers of blood.

The new world will once again be embroiled in a struggle for hegemony, which will benefit no one.

"So what do you mean?"

Beckman twitched his lips, a hint of helplessness in his expression.

"The current situation at sea cannot be allowed to get out of control; I'm betting on the future, which hasn't even begun yet."

The redhead looked towards the horizon with a meaningful gaze.

"lets go!"

"There's really nothing I can do against you!"

Beckman sighed; sometimes he couldn't understand this man either.

But to outsiders, Shanks is nothing more than a troublemaker among the Four Emperors, meddling in everything and always wanting to get involved. If it weren't for his immense strength, he would probably be someone everyone hates.

There is no innocent person on this ocean; they are all ruthless bastards who devour people without spitting out their bones.

same moment.

Moby Dick.

The pirate ship carrying Edward Newgate, the world's strongest man, is shaped like a giant whale.

"Dad, something big is about to happen!"

Marco, holding the newspaper, rushed to Whitebeard's side. Seeing that Whitebeard was still drinking, he couldn't help but scold him, "Dad, the doctor said to drink less."

"Kula la~"

"I don't care too much. What did you mean by the big deal you just mentioned?"

Whitebeard successfully changed the subject.

"Dad, see for yourself!"

Marco, somewhat helpless, handed over the newspaper and continued, "Kaido and Charlotte Cracker have both been captured by the same person."

"Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters?"

"They captured Lingling's daughter and that chubby little guy under Kaido?"

Whitebeard glanced at the news and remembered the name Hermes Jormungandr; after all, it was constantly trending on social media at the time, making it hard to miss.

"Yes, I don't know what method this guy used, but he actually managed to capture Kaido alive!"

Marco was initially incredulous.

"It's not surprising. Times have changed. Today's young people are all monsters. You'll suffer if you underestimate them."

Whitebeard gulped down a mouthful of wine. Roger should rest in peace now. This era, as he wished, was gradually producing many powerful figures. He knew that his old bones might be dragged off the stage at any time.

"As long as my father is alive, this era will be called Whitebeard."

Marco didn't have so many thoughts. As long as his father was alive, the Whitebeard Pirates were invincible, a fact universally acknowledged on the high seas.

"Kula la~"

Whitebeard just smiled, though he felt a mix of melancholy and helplessness inside.

"Any news about Ace?"

Whitebeard casually tossed aside the newspaper; he wasn't interested in such things as Shanks, who was always meddling and causing trouble. All he cared about was his family.

"No."

Marco shook his head.

"I always have a bad feeling about this."

Ever since Ace went to investigate Teach, he had been feeling uneasy.

"With Ace's strength, nothing should happen to him!"

Marco couldn't really say for sure. Ever since that incident, they all realized that they had never truly known Teach; that guy was hiding too much.

Including strength.

"Hopefully!"

The white-bearded man gazed into the distance and continued drinking.

The Grand Line.

Islands in a certain sea area.

"Hehehe~"

"This is truly remarkable news."

A campfire was burning, with an unknown animal sitting on it, dripping oil from the flames, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat.

"I never expected Kaido to fall to a newcomer."

"Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters, is not to be underestimated."

Beside the campfire, four figures were looking at the news. The leader was none other than Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, who had betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates, along with his recruited subordinates Laffitte, Van Augur, Doc Q, and Doc Q's horse named Strong.

They may not be famous now, but they will all be big figures in the future.

Originally, Burgess was also in this group, but Hermes poached him beforehand.

"Capturing Kaido won't be that easy."

Blackbeard stared intently at Hermes in the newspaper, somewhat alarmed.
