At this moment, Akainu is a little bit jealous.

I hate myself for not understanding Aokiji at that time.

He can tolerate Aokiji's philosophy different from his own, but he will never tolerate this guy becoming a pirate.

This is an absolute shame for the Navy.

You know, in the past few hundred years, there has never been a precedent for a general to become a pirate.

Therefore, he must stay today!

And Li Yan was also a little surprised.

Because of his appearance, Aokiji left the navy ahead of schedule, and the black beard has not yet been sentenced to the white group.

But I didn't expect that this guy still couldn't escape and became the life of a pirate.

Judging from the constriction of the timeline, even if Aokiji went to the red-haired side, there would be a reasonable reason.

It's just that Li Yan can't figure out what the reason is for the time being.

And just when Akainu ordered to attack the red-haired pirates.

On the other side, Shanks has approached the East Sea Fleet less than 500 meters away.

Griffin was unsheathed instantly, and his right hand was raised to the sky.

Immediately, a crimson slash was swiped, heading towards a 50,000-ton battleship.

In the bridge, Ain, who had just recovered from his dazed state, held the console with his hands and watched the terrifying slash that came straight at him, but he couldn't do anything.

Not to mention her current state, even in normal state, she couldn't stop Shanks' slash at all.

After all, this guy is one of the few people who can compete with Hawkeye in swordsmanship, and it is conceivable how high his attainments in kendo are.

Perhaps in terms of swordsmanship alone, Shanks may be slightly worse than Hawkeye, but his domineering attainments are definitely far beyond Hawkeye.

Just when Ain's warship was hit, a figure flashed in his sight.

"Old Ray?"

It was a man in a navy uniform with a mask on his head that couldn't see his face.

Standing on the broadside of the warship, holding a navy's standard saber.

However, at this moment, the saber had been dyed pitch black, with a terrifying luster.

The next moment, just as Shanks' slash arrived, he moved.

The knife in his right hand directly greeted him.

boom...

"Deputy captain?"

When he first saw this figure, Shanks felt a little familiar.

At this moment, I saw his movements, coupled with his figure, and the white hair on that end.

Even with a mask, Shanks recognized who this man was.

The former vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, Raleigh the Hades.

It's just that he didn't understand why Rayleigh appeared here and why he would protect the East China Sea Fleet.

However, at the next moment, another person from the battleship came out and stood beside Rayleigh...

He finally understands!

Ace...

Ace was in the East China Sea Navy, he knew it.

And if the deputy captain knew Ace's identity, then his actions at the moment would make sense.

beat?

No problem, Shanks also has the confidence to beat today's Rayleigh without taking too much time.

However, you can't do it yourself.

Not just because Rayleigh was his co-captain, but for more reasons.

especially...

on your own character.

"Little Shanks, the East China Sea Fleet is no longer a threat, and there is no reason to continue?"

"I don't remember having taught you with the captain to kill the navy that is out of combat!"

When Shanks used the overlord color, Lei Li could stop it.

Even if it can't be completely blocked, it can block a part, but Rayleigh didn't make a shot.

After all, he and Li Yan had something to say, and they would not help him deal with the pirates.

Moreover, the overlord's color only stuns people, and will not hurt their lives.

Even the red-haired top-level overlord color can cause actual damage, but at the distance just now, it can't do it.

So, he didn't show up.

However, he thought that this was the end, but he didn't expect...

Shanks actually shot again, and as soon as he came up, there were enough slashes to destroy the battleship and kill most of the seamen above.

So, he set out.

At the same time, it also made Rayleigh suddenly feel how unfamiliar Shanks is now, and he would never have done this before.

"Deputy captain, isn't this also for insurance, after all, my entire pirate group is there."

"Shanks, based on the past relationship, let me give you a piece of advice. As for whether you listen or not, I can't control you!"

"Deputy captain, you said..."

"Maybe in your eyes, I am saving the East China Sea Fleet, but in fact, when I save them, I am also saving you!"

"What does it mean?"

Shanks couldn't understand for a moment.

What do you mean when you save them, you are also saving me?

"Don't understand?"

"Let's put it this way, maybe the destruction of the East China Sea Fleet is a huge loss for Li Yan, but if you think that the East China Sea Fleet is his strongest force, you are wrong."

"Perhaps, he has such an estimate now, and he will not reveal all his strength, but once you destroy the East China Sea Fleet, it is impossible to guarantee that he will no longer have any scruples."

"And once he lets go of all his scruples, then you..."

Speaking of which, Rayleigh participated in the battle with the Revolutionary Army to attack Mary Joa, after all, the flying island needs his control.

And a few hours ago, when Li Yan attacked bigmom with a space-based weapon, he witnessed it with his own eyes.

And is this all Li Yan's cards?

Rayleigh didn't know, but he was quite sure. Although he couldn't be sure that this was all Li Yan's methods, these methods were enough to destroy the Red Hair Pirates, and even kill Shanks.

Although the current Shanks makes Rayleigh a little strange.

But after all, he is a member of the Roger Pirates, and he has a good relationship with himself. Rayleigh reminded him.

However, Reminder, Reminder, Reilly won't tell him too much.

As he said...

I'll give you a piece of advice. I can't control you if you don't listen to me.

For Rayleigh, this is already the way he has done his best in the past.

And the redhead who heard Rayleigh's words really shrank his eyes...

He could hear it from Rayleigh's words, if Li Yan exposed all his secrets and wanted to kill himself, then he would really be killed.

Is that what you mean?

Whether it is the East China Sea Fleet, or the currently suspected Revolutionary Army air weapons, Shanks does not think that these can kill him.

But he knew Reilly well enough to know that Reilly wouldn't lie on purpose to scare himself.

That is to say, Li Yan has a more powerful and deadly weapon than the East China Sea Fleet or the Revolutionary Army air weapon?

If so...

Then it's not suitable for me to die here. Anyway, Kaido ate two fruits and didn't die, so there should be no need to worry too much.

And with Rayleigh here, he couldn't take the opportunity to destroy the East China Sea Fleet.

As such, it would be pointless to continue fighting.

"Thank you for the reminder from the deputy captain, I will withdraw first, and I will have a chance to come to you for a drink another day."

"Beckman, retreat!"
