Chapter 520 Shanks's Intervention
Chapter 520 Shanks's Intervention
The sea breeze carries a faint smell of sea salt, gently blowing across every inch of Elbaf. It should be a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
However, due to various recent events, it has been torn to pieces.
The Red Earl's deep and magnetic voice broke the brief peace.
His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.
When everyone in the Cross Guild heard what the Red Earl said, they were all shocked, and expressions of shock and confusion appeared on their faces.
Bucky was originally sitting leisurely aside, with his legs crossed and a grass stem he got from somewhere in his mouth, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
But in an instant, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets. The expression on his face was like a Sichuan opera face-changing.
In an instant, his expression turned from leisure to astonishment, and his mouth unconsciously opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he was choked by the shock.
"Jenny. Is that guy Tren crazy? Why would he do this? Making an enemy of a giant is not a good move!"
Bucky finally found his voice, his voice became a little sharp due to excitement, and his words were full of disbelief and concern about the situation.
In his opinion, provoking a dispute with the giants is undoubtedly playing with fire, and a fire that is big enough to start a prairie fire.
If you are not careful, you will be burned to ashes.
Crocodile stood aside, his posture as tall as a cactus in the desert, his stern face as if carved by wind and sand.
He frowned slightly, the wrinkles between his brows looked like deep ravines, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, as if his gaze penetrated the heavy fog, trying to find the truth of the matter.
“It’s hard to be sure about this matter. After all, that man is not a reckless person.
There must be some purpose behind his actions, or someone is secretly manipulating them."
His voice was low and hoarse, like the friction of gravel, and every word revealed his keen insight as a veteran.
"You never know!" Luo gently waved the exquisite goblet in his hand. The bright red liquid in the goblet looked like blood, reflecting a strange light in the sunlight.
He looked through the reflection on the glass, his eyes were deep and mysterious, and he said slowly: "Back then, the Straw Hat Leader and my Straw Hat Alliance were wiped out by that horrible maid under his command!
I think you are all very clear about the situation at that time, right? After all, you were the one who brought that man here. "
When talking about the past, a barely perceptible trace of pain and resentment flashed in his eyes. It was the remembrance of past failures and the fear of the enemy.
"Hahaha, that man does have a crazy side." Barrett threw his head back and laughed, his laughter like thunder, echoing over the village.
His strong body trembled slightly, and his hands kept rubbing their fists, as if he was full of anticipation for the upcoming conflict.
It also seemed as if he was eager to show his skills in this chaos and prove his strength.
At this time, the Red Earl had obviously not recovered from the tragic scene filled with blood. His face was slightly pale, and there was still fear and excitement in his eyes.
His voice was trembling a little: "Anyway, the giants are in chaos now, we have to make plans early.
In my opinion, things are about to change in Elbaf." His words sounded like an ominous prophecy, making the gloom in everyone's hearts even heavier.
"Someone has noticed us." Hawkeye, who had been standing quietly by the side, was like a cheetah lurking in the dark, always alert.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if they could see through all the darkness. He looked suddenly in one place, and his gaze was like a materialized arrow, shooting straight at the target.
His left hand was quietly placed on the hilt of the knife, and his slender fingers lightly rested on the hilt. As long as there was any slight movement, he could draw the knife and attack in an instant.
After hearing Hawkeye's words, everyone in the Cross Guild became alert. They were like a group of frightened wild beasts, and their nerves tensed up in an instant.
Some people clenched their weapons, with vigilance in their eyes; some people slightly turned sideways, assumed a defensive posture, ready to deal with possible attacks at any time.
Bucky heard a sudden burst of noisy footsteps and shouting coming from outside the village, and stood up vigilantly like a frightened bird.
His body was trembling slightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The next second, he split his head, and the split head floated slowly towards the village entrance like a flexible balloon.
His eyes were wide open, trying to see what was happening outside.
I saw a group of giants walking angrily towards the outside of the village. They were like a group of moving hills. Every step they took made the ground shake violently, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
The leading giant was holding a huge axe in his hand, which was flashing a cold light in the sun.
It looks like the scythe of the god of death, emitting a chilling aura.
"Looks like things are really getting chaotic!" Bucky whispered, his voice like fallen leaves in the wind, with a bit of powerlessness and panic.
There was a flash of fear in his eyes, as if he had seen the end of the world. He secretly regretted in his heart how he got involved in this trouble.
Crocodile snorted coldly, like the cold wind in the desert, with a bit of disdain and coldness.
"Why are you panicking, clown? First, take a look at who discovered us." As he spoke, his right hand slowly turned into gravel, and the gravel seemed to have life.
It flowed and rolled at his fingertips, ready to sweep out like a raging sandstorm and join the battle at any time.
When Buggy heard Crocodile's words, he narrowed his eyes, like a cunning fox, trying to see through the fog.
"Besides that guy, who else could it be?" He had a vague answer in his mind, but he was not sure. He could only pretend to be calm and wait for the truth to be revealed.
Outside the West Village, just as the giants were about to step out of the West Village, a figure appeared like a god of war descending from the sky, standing between the two sides with fearlessness and courage.
Everyone looked closely and saw that it was Shanks.
He lost an arm and a leg. Although his body was disabled, he still stood as straight as a pine tree, and his innate heroic spirit was not diminished in the slightest.
The red hair is particularly dazzling in the sun, like a burning flame, giving people hope and strength.
"Stop!" Shanks shouted loudly. His voice was like a huge bell, echoing between heaven and earth, with unquestionable majesty, as if a king was giving orders.
"Everyone of the giants, I'm sure you are furious now, but please calm down and listen to me."
His eyes were firm and sincere, as if they could dispel the fear and anger in people's hearts, making people involuntarily want to listen to his advice.
When the giants saw Shanks, they were stunned for a moment. After all, Shanks still had prestige in Elbaf.
Especially when he helped the giants suppress the "Loki Incident" that year, his brave and fearless figure has long been imprinted in the hearts of the giants.
So the leading giant still roared angrily: "Shanks, get out of the way! I don't want to hurt our friendship!"
His voice was like a roaring lion. Although it was full of anger, it also revealed respect for Shanks.
Shanks shook his head slightly, like a wise elder, patiently persuading.
“I understand how you feel, but things are still unclear right now, and acting blindly will only make the situation more chaotic.
No one would do such a thing for no reason. There must be someone behind this. We should find out the truth first instead of panicking."
His words were like a timely rain, extinguishing some of the anger in the hearts of the giants and making them start to think calmly.
The giants looked at each other, their anger had subsided a little, but they still had doubts... Or rather, they were a little afraid that Shanks would stop them by force.
Because the giants in Nishimura are not really strong in combat.
"Then let's wait for Elder Scar's order! Everyone go back." The leading giant gave the order. Although his voice was still a little reluctant, it also revealed helplessness and rationality.
