At the beginning, I summoned Li Jing, who is very cold, and I will fight against Hawkeye!

Chapter 521 Five Emperors Gathered

The sea breeze, carrying a strong smell of gunpowder, whistled across the land of Elbaf, making everyone's clothes rustle.

Shanks relied on his prestige and courage to temporarily stabilize the giants whose emotions were almost out of control.

Those eyes that were originally burning with anger still had some embers in them, but there was no longer the urge to erupt into an immediate conflict.

Shanks breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look in the direction where Buggy and the others were hiding.

His eyes are like sharp eagle eyes, penetrating layers of fog and obstacles.

Then, he walked forward steadily, taking each step firmly and powerfully, until he reached a certain distance.

He stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "Bucky, tell me honestly, does this have anything to do with you?"

His voice was low and magnetic, yet it carried a certain unquestionable majesty, floating in the wind and reaching everyone's ears.

Looking at Shanks standing not far away, Buggy's eyes rolled around, and the next second, his head flew out strangely.

He floated in the air, curled his lips, and shouted with a wronged look: "Shanks, please don't wrongly accuse me!

Although I usually like to stir up trouble and make trouble everywhere, I dare not do something so big as to break the world.

We came here purely to watch the fun and get some benefits, but we didn't expect things to turn out like this.

And isn't all this because of you?

It’s the one you posted…”

"That news was not released by me. Someone pretended to be me." Shanks interrupted coldly without hesitation.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of annoyance and anger flashed in his eyes. He was obviously extremely annoyed about being impersonated.

"Isn't it you..." Although Buggy said this, he nodded in agreement.

But his slightly narrowed eyes revealed that he did not completely believe Shanks' words.

He wondered in his heart, is this really that simple? Is Shanks hiding something?

Shanks also looked closely at Buggy's eyes, as if he could see through all the lies and disguises.

After a long while, after making sure that it was not him who did it, he nodded slightly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now according to my guess, in addition to the Four Emperors, there should be another force plotting among us.

And that guy is probably the culprit of all this!"

Shanks' tone became more serious, his eyes flashing with wisdom and alertness, and he was keenly aware of the danger hidden in the dark.

"If you can, would you help me, Bucky?" His voice was filled with a hint of expectation, but also a hint of helplessness.

After all, in this complicated situation, one more helper means a better chance of winning.

"Hehe. Hey, Red Hair!" At this time, Crocodile led the people of the Cross Guild.

It was like a group of ghosts quietly emerging from the darkness and slowly walking out from a hidden corner.

He took big steps, his black windbreaker fluttering in the wind, and sneered at the side with an innate dominance.

"That's easy to say, the chaos in Elbaf was not caused by us.

If there really is a mastermind behind this as you said, then he is in the dark and we are in the light, so why waste our time?

Isn't it fine for us to just sit back and watch and reap the benefits?"

His words were like a cold dagger, piercing Shanks' proposal.

His eyes were full of mockery and disdain, as if he was mocking Shanks' naivety.

Shanks looked at Crocodile with a hint of sincerity in his eyes, and that look seemed to be able to melt the ice.

"Crocodile, I know you have your own ideas, but now is not the time to worry about personal gains and losses.

If Elbaf is destroyed, it will benefit no one.

It will be in all our interests if we all work together to find the person behind this and put an end to this chaos.”

His voice was neither hurried nor slow, but every word was meaningful, trying to convince this stubborn strong man to see the current situation clearly.

"Then can we participate in this kind of thing?" At this moment, a disgusting voice suddenly came out.

I saw Blackbeard laughing wildly. His laughter sounded like the cry of an owl at night, with a bit of pride and madness.

He swaggered over with his men, saying as he walked, "Hahaha, this Elbaf is really lively!

Shanks, I didn't expect you to be alive!"

His eyes were full of teasing and provocation, like a wolf eyeing its prey and waiting for its chance to strike.

Shanks' eyes flashed as if cold stars were twinkling, and he subconsciously clenched the Griffin in his hand. The knuckles of his clenched fingers turned white, showing his inner vigilance.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring at Blackbeard intently, and he said coldly: "Blackbeard, Teach."

"You are alone now! Shanks." Blackbeard sneered, and that smile was like frozen frost, revealing a bone-chilling chill.

But his laughter had not yet completely subsided, and had not yet had time to rise and fall.

Another strange yet familiar voice came from afar.

"Who said Shanks is alone?" The Straw Hat Pirates, under the energetic and passionate leadership of Luffy, came to Shanks in a hurry.

Luffy is like a golden ray of sunshine, with endless enthusiasm and courage, standing side by side with Shanks without hesitation.

His iconic straw hat gleamed in the sun, as if symbolizing their determination to work together at this moment.

"Straw Hat Boy..." Blackbeard narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he instantly returned to his arrogant and fearless look, not afraid of the situation in front of him at all.

Instead, he looked at Red Hair and Buggy with interest. For a moment, the three parties stood in three distinct positions facing each other.

The Blackbeard Pirates are like a group of villains from the dark abyss, exuding a strange atmosphere.

The members of the Cross Guild were indifferent, but they were also scheming.

The Straw Hat Pirates are like a group of rising suns, full of vigor and vitality but never backing down.

The situation suddenly became tense, and a storm seemed about to rise again on the land of Elbaf.
