Stepping on Pirate King

Red Hair Pirates was an elite crew, just like the Roger Pirates. Their number was much less compared to Whitebeard Pirates, Beast Pirates, and Big Mom Pirates, but each of their officer was outstanding. 

Putting Shanks aside, Ben Beckman should be the strongest among the Four Emperor's first mate in the future, and he had a very high IQ. It was safe to say that he was both a capable combatant and strategist.

Then there was the nearly invincible sharpshooter, Yasopp. He was definitely one of the best sharpshooter in the world, even though he wasn't as good as Colonello.

There was also Lucky Roux. Although he was fat, he was not less agile to his comrades in battle, and he was extremely decisive. It could be seen that the meaning of the battle was extraordinary.

Giotto chatted with Shanks for some time until suddenly…

"Vongola Primo… it should be no problem to call you that, right?" At this time, Ben Beckman suddenly opened his mouth, "How does the current New World look like to you?"

Hearing this question, Giotto knew that Red Hair Pirates intended to march into the New World, but they were waiting for an opportunity, or in other words, waiting for their chief to make up his mind.

Although he was still waiting, as the vice-captain, Ben Beckman had already begun to think about the future.

"I am not that knowledgeable about the situation." After all, most of the reports are handled by Robin, and Aria would handle it. The Family's development is taken care by Shoichi Irie and G, so I don't have that much to work on. I almost look like a figurehead at this point, but there is one thing I can tell you...

Giotto shrugged. In the past two years, Family-related affairs had been taken care of, so he did not need to worry about anything. "The New World is very big, and there is definitely a room for you!"

Yes, although the New World was dominated by Primo and two Emperors, it wasn't like the whole New World was already occupied. Besides, Vongola Family's territory was basically the same as two years ago.

There is no major change in the territory. Only several small islands around Secon Island were included in their own territory.

Therefore, the New World had enough room for the pirates of the new era!

As long as the pirates who entered the New World had enough strength, they would be able to seize their own territory. It was not impossible to turn Primo and Two Emperors into Primo and Three Emperors.

And in Giotto's opinion, the one who had the highest chance of achieving this was the Red-Haired Shanks!

After all, in the original manga, Shanks was one of the Four Emperors!

"I don't care about whether there was a room for us or not. After all, we gotta pave our own path, and if we want one, we have to work hard ourselves. What I care about is that whether you see us as enemies when we enter New World. After all, even us will have a hard time against Vongola Family's might."

Beckman knew that entering wasn't an impossible feat as he believed in the strength of his captain and his comrades that still had room for growth. However, if they fought against Vongola Family that defeated even Whitebeard Pirates, there was almost no chance of winning for them.

"Well that shouldn't happen. After all, Vongola Family is a mafia, and you are pirates. As long as you leave our territory alone, there will be no problem."

Giotto didn't intend to fight against the Red Hair Pirates, and Shanks wouldn't be crazy enough to lay a hand on Vongola Family's territory.

Besides, Giotto and Shanks were buddies. There was no reason for them to be enemies.

Hey, hey, hey, Beckman, what are you talking about? Giotto and I are buddies. There's no way we will be enemies! We may have to fight with Whitebeard, Big Mom, and so on once we get to New World, but not Giotto.

At this time, Shanks suddenly turned to look at Giotto and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it is really nostalgic. In the past, you, me and Buggy stood against the powerful Whitebeard Pirates together."

How many years ago was that? They did face Whitebeard Pirates together, but that was when they were still an apprentice in Roger Pirates!

Then, Giotto chatted with Shanks for a while and left with Aria. They had rented a house in the village, so they did not stick around with Shanks.

If Giotto was by himself, he didn't mind freeloading with Shanks, but Aria was also there, so it was a bit inappropriate to stay with Shanks.

"Step, step, step!"

The sound of footsteps came from the street outside entered Giotto's ears. It was obvious that something had happened outside.

At this time, it was easy to imagine what would happen. It must've been the young Luffy who picked a fight with Higuma, the mountain bandit, but then getting beaten to a pulp by Higuma.

"I better take a look, it is the time to watch the Sea King's best moment!"

At this point, Giotto put on his coat and walked out with Aria.

By that time, Shanks had arrived with his men, and what he saw now was Luffy being stepped on by Higuma.

A mere mountain bandit had the audacity to step on the future pirate king's head?

"There is no one in the pub. I was still wondering what happened."

Shanks was calm at the moment, with a smile on his face. "If it isn't the mountain bandit from last time!"

Seeing Shanks and his men's arrival, Higuma showed no fear, and there was some disdain in his face: "You are still around? Have you been cleaning the village this whole time?"

Higuma was definitely the best when it came to mocking others and acting tough!

"Luffy, isn't your punch as powerful as a pistol?" Shanks ignored Higuma and walked toward Higuma step by step.
