I, a Celestial Dragon!

For more than ten seconds, Shanks used more than ten thousand ways to avoid the ubiquitous metal and mud that covered him mercilessly.

But no matter whether he hid in the sea or even rushed into the sky tens of thousands of meters high.

He was still being closely pressed by the mud and metal that kept gathering into a size close to that of an island!

Although he couldn't see the final future, Shanks knew that he must have been positioned by some kind of energy!

Could that energy be Gawain's heart web, the kind of fine lightning that occasionally flickers in the air and is everywhere?

As he thought about it, Shanks tried his best to strengthen his Haki.

After wrapping himself tightly with countless layers of Armament Haki.

Shanks even pushed his observation Haki to the extreme!

After Captain Roger's death, Shanks himself became the most skilled person in observation Haki on this ocean.

Many people say that he is the best in the world in terms of domineering aura.

What a joke!

What truly makes him the best in the world is his observation Haki!

However, even if he opened fire at full power, he still couldn't stop the mud and water from tracking him!

So, what on earth is targeting me?

Also, why does this damn skill last so long!

Although my ability to foresee the future is invincible, I cannot use this ability to fight against the future that I cannot see clearly!

While constantly looking for a way to break the deadlock, Shanks held the Griffin and tried his best to smash the first batch of materials that approached.

But after just a few seconds, Shanks knew it was no use.

No matter how hard he tried to smash those substances, he could not stop more substances from rushing towards him!

The various substances that Gawain continuously gathered were simply endless. At the beginning, the torrents were still small.

But in the future that he saw, when the duration of this skill increased to nearly twenty-five seconds!

Actually, fragments of the Red Earth Continent began to rush towards him!

I can indeed cut off a mountain, but how can I slowly cut the whole world into pieces?

Thinking of this, Shanks gritted his teeth.

Some things that have been hidden for too long seem to no longer be able to be hidden!

Or rather, he had never hidden those abilities!

He just... seldom uses the power that comes from bloodline and family that he doesn't like!!!

Some people may ask, is Shanks really not a devil fruit user?

Judging from most of the clues, Shanks does not seem to be the user of the fruit ability.

After all, he has never shown his devil fruit ability.

But in fact, until now, Shanks seems to have never shown anything except the occasional sword and the blooming of domineering color.

Whether he is a devil fruit user is really debatable.

If he is not a devil fruit user.

There is actually a lot of plausible evidence to support this.

For example, Shanks trusts Roger very much and regards Roger as a guide in life.

He not only inherited Roger's ideals and the straw hat, but also his swordsmanship. His magical evasion move clearly showed the same feeling as Roger's.

At the same time, even though Shanks had obtained the Rubber Fruit, which is the mythical beast Nika Fruit, he did not eat it!

From this point of view, it seems that Shanks really does not have a devil fruit.

But if, I mean if.

What if we assume from the beginning that Shanks has already eaten the devil fruit?

As we all know, Shanks is a child of the Celestial Dragon Feigarand family.

The former Valley of Gods was the territory of the Feigarand family!

When the Figalland family led their men back to the Valley of the Gods to worship their ancestors, Rocks suddenly attacked and directly defeated the Figalland family's defensive forces.

As a last resort, Shanks' father had to put the newborn baby in a treasure chest, trying to give the young child a chance to survive.

So……

Is the Feigaland family stupid?

Would they really let their children drift on the sea without any protection?

In other words, you possess the terrifying power of the Celestial Dragons and even have considerable strength.

Would you let your child drift away alone without giving him/her the best protection?

Theoretically speaking, that shouldn't be the case.

Therefore, considering all that Shanks has done, we have to make a hypothesis.

That is……

Perhaps Shanks had already eaten an extremely excellent devil fruit from the very beginning!

If we assume this perspective, many things can be explained.

In particular, why did Shanks, who fell into the sea, have to pay the price of an arm in exchange for Luffy's safety?

That's just a king of the near sea, a piece of trash sea king that can be easily dealt with by anyone with a bounty of several million.

As a result, Shanks, who already had a scar on his face and had fought with the extremely hidden Teach, actually had one of his arms taken away by that sea beast!

At the same time, why Shanks found the Nika Fruit but didn't eat it!

Some people may think that it is because Shanks doesn't like devil fruits, just like Roger.

But put yourself in his shoes. What if Shanks left the Nikka fruit uneaten because he had already eaten one?

At the same time, there is another clue worth exploring.

That is, why did Shanks fight and kill Teach?

Theoretically speaking, when the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates did not engage in a large-scale war, Teach and Shanks had no reason to fight, right?

Teach is a person who is so good at forbearance, how could he fight with Shanks for no reason to the point of being left with a scar on his eye?

And if Shanks has already eaten the devil fruit, then there is another possible reason for this matter!

We can boldly assume that the reason why Shanks and Teach fought was because at that stage, Shanks and Teach were both looking for ways to eat the second devil fruit!

If Shanks already had a Devil Fruit but still had a desire for the Nika Fruit, he would undoubtedly have to find a way to eat a second fruit in order to successfully use the power of Nika and Destiny.

If that's the reason, then it makes sense for the two of them to fight.

Teach had said a long time ago that he would go through countless times how to use the most powerful Dark-Dark Fruit after obtaining it.

If he can't get that fruit, he will just work peacefully in the Whitebeard Pirates until the end.

If you get...

He had already planned to use that fruit to seize another equally powerful fruit to strengthen himself!

It seems that there was no accident in their war; they were destined to be natural rivals.

And at this moment!

Faced with the Chibaku Tensei that had absolutely no chance of escaping and completely locked onto him.

Faced with the mountains and seas that are constantly gathering and becoming larger and larger as the destruction continues.

Shanks exhaled heavily and then raised his sword.

The next moment, Shanks opened his eyes and disappeared from his original place, and then appeared in front of Gawain!

At this moment, Gao Wen was slightly stunned.

Shanks was a little too fast, he just seemed to... appear out of nowhere!

After a moment of daze, Gawain flashed to 30 kilometers away. At such a distance, Shanks couldn't catch up with him instantly... ?

Something's wrong! ! !

Gawain frowned because Shanks was still in front of him!

And at a distance of thirty kilometers, no one except Kizaru and Dragon could continue to chase him so quickly!

Looking at Shanks, whose face showed a hint of anger, Gawain let out a breath and asked.

"This isn't the power of a human, so you actually..."

"Your powers are not human powers. You definitely don't have just the power of a fruit, Gawain!

Go further and I’ll have a good chat with you!

But first let me remove your ability called Chibaku Tensei!

In fact, you should think that, in some ways, causing trouble for me means causing trouble for you!

If you are like me, you should stay calm! "

After he finished speaking, Shanks stood in the void, holding a knife in one hand, looking at Gawain coldly.

Facing Shanks's silently waiting eyes, he looked at the mudslide chasing after Shanks, which was as big as three mountain ranges.

Gawain nodded slightly, then raised his right hand and slapped it hard.

"Heaven hinders the earthquake star!"

As Gawain spoke, Shanks frowned, obviously seeing something.

Noticing Shanks's gaze, Gawain frowned.

“Of course I can find a place to talk in private, but I can’t leave without knowing why.

After all, this is a battlefield. Even if it is a battlefield that serves you and me, you and I should be responsible for the battlefield.

So, I will give you a big gift and half a moon!"

After he finished speaking, Gawain turned and left.

As for Shanks.

Even if Gawain could travel thousands of miles in an instant, Shanks could actually ride the wind, or rather...wherever there is wind, there is Shanks!

This kind of mysterious ability is actually somewhat similar to Dragon!

A moment later, on a pristine island nearly 1,300 kilometers away from the battlefield.

Gawain stood at the top of a tree's crown, looking at Shanks silently.

As for Shanks, he let out a long breath and then put the Griffin back into his sheath.

brush!

Sa!

At the moment when Shanks put the sword back into the sheath, a pair of huge wings suddenly spread out behind him!

At the same time, Shanks's face actually changed a little bit. His already domineering image became more majestic, and a little bit... a little bit...

Gawain gasped as he watched Shanks stretch his wings.

This is……?

Bird-bird fruit? ! !

Gawain asked softly as he thought about it.

"Are you a devil fruit user?"

"Oh, indeed, if you know my identity, you should also know that this is the tradition of my family.

Just like your Gawain family has its own traditions, my Fegarand family is also a supporter of the Cat-Cat Fruit. My family has always dominated all the mythical beast fruits in the Cat-Cat Fruit series in the world. In my case, it is the Cat-Cat Fruit·Mythical Beast·Griffin!"

After he finished speaking, Shanks shook his wings comfortably. Ever since he lost one of his hands, these two wings felt more like his own hands.

And at the same time...
