I just unified the country, and you say this is sailing?

Shanks smiled faintly, "Because even without me, His Majesty will definitely agree to your request."

"Why is this?" Bodhidharma asked in confusion.

"Because your majesty is a man with foresight, he knows that the Qin Dynasty needs more talents to expand its territory and conquer the world."

Shanks explained, "Besides, I was just conveying His Majesty's words. His Majesty had already made the arrangements."

"Shanks, how do you know so much about His Majesty?~" Jones asked.

Shanks' eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, "Because I am the guardian of Daqin, and also the loyal guardian of His Majesty."

Jones and Damo looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

"What are you surprised about?" Shanks looked at the two of them and asked with a smile.

"Shanks, how did you get to know His Majesty and join Daqin?" Jones asked first.

Shanks was silent for a moment, as if recalling the distant past, "It was a coincidence, but also a necessity."

"At that time, I was taming the sea and accidentally discovered the legendary mirage."

Shanks said, "That was the first time I saw a sight like that, and I was fascinated."

"But that sea is not peaceful. I met members of the Great Qin Martial God Temple." A trace of admiration flashed in Shanks' eyes. "Their strength is so great that I am in awe."

"I lost the battle," Shanks said calmly, "but I have no complaints because I know that my strength is still lacking compared to theirs."

"They made me an offer." Shanks looked at the two with a smile, "Join Daqin and become their partner."

"I agreed." Shanks said, "From that moment on, I became a member of Daqin and the protector of His Majesty."

Jones and Daruma were silent after hearing this. They didn't expect that Shanks had such an experience.

"What do you know about His Majesty?" Bodhidharma asked, "What kind of person do you think His Majesty is?"

Shanks' eyes flashed with admiration, "Your Majesty is a man of foresight and wisdom. He has the ambition to conquer the world, but his methods are very clever."

"Brilliant?" Jones was puzzled.

"Yes." Shanks explained, "Your Majesty knows how to win people's hearts and how to make use of talents for his own benefit."

"Moreover, His Majesty knows how to utilize resources very well." Shanks added, "He is able to maximize the strengths of everyone, which is why Daqin was able to rise so quickly."

Jones and Damo admired Qin Chen even more after hearing this. They knew that anyone who could be recognized by a strong man like Shanks was definitely not an ordinary person.

"There seems to be someone ahead, ready to attack us."

A warning voice sounded on the boat, and Shanks frowned immediately. He looked intently and saw the waves rolling in the distance and a powerful aura approaching rapidly.

"Is it a pirate?" Jones and Damo looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

“No, it’s a competitor.”

Shanks' eyes flashed with a sharp light, "They may also know the secret of this sea area."

· ·········Request flowers··· ···

Jones and Damo felt nervous, as they knew this voyage was full of unknowns and dangers.

"Ready to fight."

Shanks ordered decisively, "Jones, you drive, Daruma, you assist."

The two men sprang into action, knowing that every second was crucial.

Shanks stood at the bow, the sea breeze blowing his clothes. He stared at the enemy in the distance, his heart full of determination and resolution.

He knew that the enemy this time was not an ordinary pirate, but a competitor with the same ambition and strength.

.

But he was not afraid because he had firm faith and great courage.

At the same time, Qin Chen also felt the unusual movement on the sea.

He looked at the route on the nautical chart and frowned, "It seems that this voyage is not going smoothly."

Yuan Qingxia stood aside, looking nervous, "Your Majesty, do you need to send someone to support Shanks?"

Qin Chen shook his head, "No need, I believe in Shanks' strength and wisdom."

He believes that this challenge will make Shanks stronger and more mature.

At this point, Shanks was ready to fight.

He took a deep breath and mobilized the strength in his body.

Shanks stared at the enemy in the distance, his eyes firm and resolute.

"Don't act rashly," he ordered Jones and Dharma. "Let me handle them this time."

The two nodded, knowing that Shanks had the strength and intelligence to handle any challenge.

Shanks smiled and looked at the two of them, "Do you have any ideas?"

Jones frowned and thought for a moment, "We can use fire to deal with them, so that they can be caught off guard."

Chapter 448: Suggestions [Request for full order or custom order]

Dharma also offered his own suggestion, "Or we can use the ocean current to lure them into the whirlpool."

Shanks shook his head slightly after hearing this. "Although these methods are effective, they may cause even greater trouble."

"What do you mean?" Jones asked.

A sly gleam flashed in Shanks' eyes, "We can win by using our wits."

He explained his plan, and Jones and Dharma smiled.

Jones and Damo looked at each other, and there was a glimmer of eagerness in their eyes.

"Shanks, even though we are new members, we hope you can do something for us." Jones spoke first.

Shanks looked at the two of them, smiled and nodded, "I understand how you feel, but this time the enemy is not an ordinary one, I hope you can understand."

"We are not afraid." Daruma said firmly, "Shanks, give us a chance to prove our worth."

Shanks was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Well, since you insist so much, I'll give you a mission."

"Mission?" Jones and Daruma looked at Shanks in confusion.

"Yes, go and create some chaos to attract the enemy's attention."

Shanks explained, "I will take advantage of this opportunity to attack and defeat them in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, both of them smiled and said, "I understand. We will try our best."

Shanks smiled slightly, watching the two people leaving, his heart full of anticipation.

He knew that this test was very important for the two of them, and he believed that they would succeed.

At the same time, the enemy in the distance was getting closer and closer.

They obviously noticed the movement on the big ship and sped up towards this side.

Shanks stood at the bow, staring at the enemy in the distance, mentally ready for battle.

He took a deep breath and mobilized the strength in his body.

He knew this battle would be difficult, but he was ready.

Jones and Damore also prepared their own tasks.

They know that they have a heavy responsibility and cannot relax at all.

They began to act according to the plan.

Jones steered the boat forward quickly, while Dharma lit torches and threw them at the enemy.

The torch drew a graceful arc in the air and landed accurately on the enemy ship.

The enemy was caught off guard by the sudden attack and fell into chaos for a moment.

Shanks' eyes were fixed on the enemy in the distance, his heartbeat was accelerating, but his mind was unusually calm.

He knew that this was an important test on his road to becoming the Pirate King.

"Stop attacking," Shanks ordered.

Jones and Daruma stopped immediately, knowing that Shanks' decision could not be questioned.

"why?"

Jones asked, "We have a chance to beat them."

"Yes, but now is not the time."

Shanks replied, "We need to know more about them."

Damo frowned, "But we can't just wait like this."

“We don’t have to wait.”

Shanks smiled and said, "Jones, go and load the ship's cannons with shells."

Jones nodded and immediately went to carry out the order.

Shanks continued to observe the enemy, and he already had a plan in mind.

Shanks looked at the two of them, smiled and said, "Yes, I think we need to exercise our strength. ......"

He knew very well that in this world, strength was the only thing that mattered.

Only with strong strength can we cope with various challenges and protect ourselves and our partners.

Jones and Damore were overjoyed upon hearing this; they had always longed to become stronger.

"Shanks, are you saying that we can also use energy like Zhang Sanfeng?" Jones asked excitedly.

Shanks nodded, "Yes, I have passed on Zhang Sanfeng's power to you. Now that you have mastered the Qi, we can experiment together."

Jones and Damo were very excited after hearing this, as they had always longed to master this powerful force.

"Then let's start now!" Damo said impatiently.

Shanks smiled and shook his head, "No hurry, we need to understand the enemy's situation first."

He stared at the enemy in the distance, his eyes firm and sharp.

He could feel the powerful aura emanating from the enemy, and he knew that this enemy was no ordinary creature.

Xiang 3.3x frowned slightly, looking at the enemy in the distance, and a feeling of doubt arose in his heart.

He knew very well that the power of the Qin Dynasty was strong enough to dominate the world, but who on earth was that daring enough to be the enemy of the Qin Dynasty?

Shanks decided to find out for himself.

He summoned his ship and led Jones and Dharma towards the enemy.

When approaching the enemy, Shanks ordered the ship to stop and decided to observe the enemy's situation first.

Jones and Dharma also followed Shanks onto the boat. They knew that the enemy this time was no small matter and they needed to be extra careful.

Shanks stared at his enemy, his eyes sharp and determined.

Chapter 449: Attack

He could feel the powerful aura emanating from the enemy, but he was not afraid.

Jones and Dharma also felt the strength of the enemy, but they did not retreat.

They know this is their chance to show their strength.

Shanks took a deep breath and mobilized the strength in his body.

He knew that facing such a powerful enemy, he needed to give it his all.

Jones and Damore also prepared their strength, knowing that they had a heavy responsibility.

Before the battle, Shanks decided to get to know his enemy first.

He believed that only by knowing both oneself and the enemy can one win every battle.

Jones and Daruma also agreed with Shanks' decision, hoping to learn something from their enemy.
