"Hahaha!"

"This fish-man is so interesting! I decided to invite this fish-man to be my companion!"

In a tavern in a town in the East China Sea, a young man with red hair and healthy arms looked at the newspaper in his hand and kept laughing.

"Haha, Shanks, you must be kidding!"

Beside the red-haired young man, a man with a slicked back smile smiled softly.

"I'm not joking ~ Benbeck Mann, I'm serious."

Shanks turned back to the man with the slicked back hair and said seriously.

"..."

The man named Benbeck Man's face turned completely gloomy after hearing Shanks' words.

"Hahahaha... Of course I'm joking, that fishman is in the New World! How can we go to the New World now? It's far from time to go there, at least wait until I give this hat away!

"

Shanks laughed and patted Benbeck Man on the shoulder, then picked up the straw hat placed on the wine table and kept turning it.

"We have been in the East China Sea for quite some time, and we have almost gathered our companions, but I have never seen anyone worthy of this straw hat! I thought that the person who could succeed Roger in the future would definitely be

In Captain Roger's hometown."

Shanks sat at the wine table and thought quietly. He was originally active and pursued freedom. For some reason, he seemed to have some huge pressure on him, prompting him to keep looking for something.

"you are too tired!"

Benbeck Man didn't know when he had a cigarette in his mouth. He puffed out the smoke and said to Shanks.

"This is my responsibility... I haven't seen Mihawk for a long time recently. What is he doing?"

Shanks smiled slightly at Benbeck Mann, and then immediately changed the subject.

"I get angry when you say this!"

"The last time you two competed in swordsmanship, you destroyed an island. Because of this, we were chased by the navy for fifty nautical miles!"

After listening to Shanks' words, Benbeck Man changed the subject very smoothly.

"Hahaha……"

"My fault! I apologize to you!"

Shanks laughed and bowed to Benbeck Mann.

"Also! Didn't that guy Mihawk say that? If you want to become a real great swordsman in the world, how can you not go to Wano Country, one of the birthplaces of swordsmanship... Well, that place should be called Zu now.

It’s safe.”

Benbeck Man held a cigarette in his hand and recalled what Mihawk said when they met.

"What? That guy went to Zaun alone?"

"In other words, he went to the territory of Kaido, one of the emperors of the sea, who is known as the strongest creature?!"

Shanks felt extremely shocked after listening to Benbeck Man's words.

"Yes! That's right! It's just as you imagined. That guy went to Zaun, and he set out three months ago. Thinking about it now, he should be here soon, right?"

Benbeck Man nodded slightly to the red hair, and then said something that shocked the red hair even more.

"We're almost there already!?"

"But that's fine, let that guy Mihawk explore the way for me!"

When Shanks said this, his eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

"Anyway, whether it's Kaido or other sea emperors, there will definitely be a battle between us in the future!"

Shanks said as he firmly held the famous sword Griffin at his waist with his right hand.

"Yes! In the future we will eventually dethrone them all from the throne!"

Benbeck Man nodded slightly to Shanks, he was full of confidence in Shanks and the Red-Haired Pirates.

…

On the quiet and deserted sea, a man wearing a medieval knight's trench coat, a feathered hat on his head, and a carefully trimmed beard appeared on his face. At first glance, he was a very elegant man, sitting quietly.

On the raft, it floats quietly with the waves.

The man just closed his eyes and waited quietly for about five minutes. Then he used his sense of sight to check whether there was anyone around him. Then he opened his eyes and took a good look through his own eyes to make sure that he was the only one on the sea.

After other ships.

This man who exuded COOL pulled out the world's most powerful sword, Yakuza Ye, which he placed on his back, and swung out a flying slash at the sea behind him.

I saw a green flying slash rising into the sky, with an extremely powerful thrust, pushing the boat that was like a raft and a coffin under the man's feet forward.

That extremely powerful flying slash directly pushed the man's boat forward for more than ten kilometers before slowly increasing its speed and drifting forward.

After the man noticed that the boat was gradually slowing down, he quietly inserted the black knife in his hand back to its original place, and quietly sat back in his seat, as if he had never gotten up again, as if his motivation for moving forward depended entirely on the boat.

Like the waves in the sea, there is no need for a paddle at all. This is a man who has taken the word COOL deep into his bones, as if what is flowing inside him is not blood, but coolness!

"It should be arriving soon!"

After the man skillfully waved the black knife several times, he looked at the map in his hand and then at the compass on his wrist. He knew that he should have arrived near Zu'an Kingdom, and he would be able to reach the swordsmanship place in no time.

One of the places of origin.

"Zu An, I'm coming soon."

The man didn't know what happened suddenly. He stood up and shouted loudly, as if all the blood in his body was burning and his blood was boiling.

"Are you going to Zaun?"

Just when the man's blood was boiling, a blue fish-man head suddenly appeared on the originally quiet and deserted sea.

"Damn it! You're so sloppy! You forgot to observe the bottom of the sea with the color of your knowledge!"

The man whose blood was originally boiling with excitement froze in place the moment he saw the blue fish-man head.

The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.

"Hello?!"

"I am Jinbei, a fish-man tribe who is currently practicing in Zu'an. I just heard you talking to yourself, so I wanted to ask you if you want to go to Zu'an?!"

The blue fish-man Jinbei floating on the water asked the cool man in front of him.

"Cough cough cough..."

"When did you come to me?"

This cool man did not answer Jinbei's question, but asked a question.

"I was there a long time ago. I was swimming at the bottom of the sea. As soon as I came to the surface, I saw you make a beautiful slash!"

"To be honest, I haven't seen such a beautiful and perfect slash in Zaun for so long, so I wanted to ask you if you want to go to Zaun, but your speed is so fast. I didn't expect that I, a fishman, would be in the water.

I swam with all my strength, but I couldn’t catch up with you until now.”

Jinbe loudly praised the handsome man in front of him. The attack he executed at that time was indeed one of the most beautiful attacks he had ever seen in his life.

"ah……"

"That's right~"

The cool guy who heard Jinbei's words held the handle of the black sword as he spoke.
