A year has passed since the war on top.

The supernovas known as the worst era set off endless waves in the new world in this year. Countless great pirates who had been famous in the new world for a long time were pulled down by these newcomers, and after this year,

Today, someone finally plans to challenge the superior Four Emperors.

"Kid! Are you sure?"

On a deserted island in the new world, the Kidd Pirates took over and turned the island into their secret base.

"ah!"

"There is always someone who has to set an example for my companions. I will be the first to take advantage of the situation. As the man with the highest bounty in the worst era, I will fire the first shot at the Emperor of the Sea."

A man with bright red hair and an evil smile, his name is Eustace Base. He is one of the supernovas that gathered in the Chambord Islands a year ago. He is known as "Captain" Kidd. He is a man who wants to increase the reward.

A real pirate who is rich in money and fame, and even does not hesitate to attack civilians.

"So have you chosen a candidate? Currently, none of the four sea emperors are good."

"Whether it's Kaido, who is known as the strongest creature in the sea, land and air, BIGMOM Charlotte Lingling, Yamato who was originally a member of our worst era and has now become the new emperor, or the one who is said to have been in the Pirate King Gol...

None of the red-haired Shanks who stayed on D. Roger's ship was a simple person."

"Among the four of them, have you chosen Kidd?"

Next to Kidd is Kira, a member of the worst era with Kidd. He wears a mask that makes it difficult to see his face and has golden hair.

It can be said that in the entire new world, except for the dominant Sea Emperor, the Kidd pirate ship, which is composed of two members of the worst era, really has no one to fear... Therefore, the self-confidence accumulated over a long time has allowed Kidd to

De believes that he now has the qualifications to challenge the Sea Emperor.

"Hmph, let's not consider Kaido and Charlotte Lingling. The cooperation between those two monsters is too close. Provoking one is equivalent to provoking two... As for Yamato... Humph! That bastard Yamato actually

She is Kaido's daughter. This is really unexpected. In other words, in the worst case scenario, there are three emperors in this new world who are allies, right?! Then the only one we can take action on is a redhead.

Shanks?"

Kidd held in his hand the information he had collected about the four sea emperors during this period, and frowned.

"Then choose red-haired Shanks!"

Kira nodded lightly after listening to Kidd's words. To be honest, he didn't want to provoke the three sea emperors. Just imagining that feeling made his scalp numb.

"Hmph~"

"Then it's settled, challenge Red-haired Shanks!"

Kidd smiled coldly. In his eyes, the red-haired Shanks, who looked most like an ordinary person, was the coolest among the four emperors of the sea. Although he did not say that he could directly win the victory and be crowned emperor, at least he could win against the other party.

He should still have the ability to protect himself in his hands. Besides, he doesn't need to win. As long as he protects himself in the opponent's hands, even if he loses, as long as he survives, he can make a name for himself in the new world.

, which means that challenging the Four Emperors is a business that will not lose money, but will simply cost lives... At this time, Kidd still doesn't understand this truth.

After defeating countless masters in the sea, Kidd's heart gradually began to expand.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Here's to the victory we're about to get!"

After setting the goal, Kidd picked up the beer in his hand and shouted loudly to the younger brothers.

"Cheers! Cheers!"

Following Kidd's voice, the entire desert island instantly erupted in lively chatter, and everyone was celebrating their upcoming victory.

One month later...

On a certain island in the red-haired territory, the red-haired pirates are having a banquet here.

"Captain, have you heard? The pirate who lived at the same time as Luffy seems to be a guy named Eustace Kidd. He recently robbed two of our islands. Judging from his attitude, he is planning to challenge us.

Ah~"

A drunk red-haired pirate crew member sat next to Shanks and spoke to him.

"Um?"

Shanks' eyes gradually sharpened as he listened to his subordinate's voice.

"Oh?! Really? Is it time for those newcomers to prepare to challenge the Emperor of the Sea?"

Ben Beckman had a cigarette in his mouth and a glass of beer in his hand that he had not drank from the beginning to the end, puffing away smoke while preaching.

"Hahaha……"

"You have only been practicing on the sea for a few years? Are you planning to challenge the Emperor of the Sea in such a short period of time? There is still a long way to go~ There is still a long way to go in all aspects..."

Red-haired Shanks smiled softly after listening to Ben Beckman's words. Even he, who had experienced several years on the Pirate King's ship, only tried to attack the throne of the Sea Emperor after arriving in the New World for a long time. These

The newcomers in what is called the worst era are a little impatient.

"Shanks, what are we going to do about the person who challenged you?"

Ben Beckman continued to smoke, his tone was unusually relaxed, as if Eustace Kidd was not a problem at all in his eyes.

"Since people have come to greet us and given us such a big gift, if we don't respond, wouldn't it be hurting the children's hearts."

Shanks compared Eustace Kidd to a child. Perhaps in his eyes, Kidd was really just like a child.

"Huh~"

"Little ones! Get ready to educate your children!"

Ben Beckman exhaled a cloud of white mist, threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and stamped it out, raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted.

"oh!!"

The deafening shouts resounded throughout the entire island, echoing in the night sky for a long time.

a week later.

"Boom~"

The sound of artillery fire echoed throughout the town. Under the leadership of Eustace Kidd, the town's garrison was soon defeated.

"Ahem..."

"You! Do you know whose territory this is? Don't you know what that pirate flag represents?"

The strongest man in the town knelt down on one knee in front of Eustace Kidd. At this time, the man was covered in blood and could no longer even pick up the sword in his hand. He gently pressed his abdomen and the bleeding continued.

wound, shouting loudly to Eustace Kidd.

"Hmph~"

"You ask me if I recognize this flag? Do you know who I am?"

Kidd punched the man in the face, sending the already seriously injured man flying, and then the anger in his heart subsided.

"Hahaha... Captain Kidd, we have captured another island. Red-haired Shanks is not vulnerable at all!"

As Kidd knocked the man away, it was announced that the town's last defense had been broken, and the entire town had been completely lost.

"Captain Kidd, we have conquered three islands, but the red-haired Shanks hasn't appeared in front of us yet. Is he scared?"

"That's right, I think he just doesn't dare to compete head-on with Captain Kidd. The Emperor of the Sea and the Four Emperors of the New World are all just trying to show off their skills... but they are actually vulnerable!"

Several crew members behind Kidd loudly praised Kidd's achievements. They had already gone from being apprehensive about attacking the red-haired Shanks' territory at the beginning to unscrupulously standing in the red-haired territory and belittling the red-haired Shanks. In one month,

The continuous victories since then have made them dizzy, forgetting the real gap in strength.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Don't let me underestimate you! Shanks."

Kidd listened to the compliments in his ears and laughed loudly. Even he was so swollen now. In addition, red-haired Shanks has not had any outstanding achievements in recent years. Kidd has long stopped using red-haired Shanks.

In the eyes.

"Kidd, what's coming to the beach?"

Just when Kidd was getting carried away, Kira, who had been standing at the dock, keenly noticed the looming shadow of the ship on the sea.

"It's the Red Forth! Here comes the redhead!"

After listening to Kira's words, a crew member immediately took a telescope and looked at the distinctive dragon-headed pirate ship and the conspicuous pirate flag. The crew member trembled and read out the name of the pirate warship.

"Red hair?"

"The Four Emperors are really here?"

"Emperor of the Sea!"

When all of Kidd's crew members heard that the red-haired man was coming in person, they all raised their heads in panic. They praised Kidd so hard before because the red-haired man was not there at the time. Now that the red-haired man has come in person, they all

I'm scared.

"Why are you panicking? Don't forget our purpose!"

"Hmph! Red-haired Shanks, are you really here? Well done, let me see how powerful the sea emperors who roam the sea are."

Kidd yelled at the crew, and at the same time a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. Although he said that he was not afraid of Shanks, he was still extremely nervous when he really wanted to fight with the opponent.

Already.
