"Even in the situation of all your companions dying yet, you can still maintain such rationality, as expected of someone with the highest IQ in the world!"
El, who had returned to the shallower part of the sea, looked in the direction of Shanks and Benn Beckman, and speak with admiration.
Just like Ben Beckman's guess, El sneaked deep into the sea area where he couldn't even see his fingers in front of him in advance because he wanted to take advantage of the dark environment and the strong water pressure, to easily kill the Red-haired Pirates who are taking the elite route. At the same time, he also wants to use this opportunity to bait Shanks and Benn Beckman deep into the sea and use this opportunity to truly wipe out the almost fifth emperor pirate group in the new world.
After all, as a traveler, El is also very clear about the truth of cutting the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will blow again. It is a pity that Benn Beckman deserves to be the one with the highest IQ in the world.
Just feeling the change in the sea current, he immediately took out the burning Vivre card, guessed that not only did something happen to his companions, but they were also wiped out and that El was hiding deep in the sea, trying to ambush him and Shanks who might lose their minds.
Hearing from Carina through the Den Mushi Mushi that the plan failed, El could only change his plan temporarily and flew toward the shallow part of the sea at an extremely fast speed while also deliberately flying at the edge of Shanks and Benn Beckman Observation haki, which is just enough for them to perceive him because he won't give Shanks and Benn Beckman time to grieve and cry.
To be precise, it's that he can't give Shanks and Benn Beckman a chance to recover their stamina and Haki. Otherwise, in the face of two Pirate Emperors in their heyday, let alone El, even Kaido, the strongest creature in the world, and Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, can't beat them.
However, he was even more reluctant to give up this opportunity and let them cause trouble in the future and the reason why he dropped eight meteors, it's to exhaust their stamina and Haki.
To this end, El specially prepared a gift consisting of sixteen meteors for the Red-Haired Pirates. Although the result was not what he expected, Benn Beckman did not stay on the surface and fight along with Shanks.
He drops eight meteors even though only three of them were resolved by Shanks, he still consumed an extremely large amount of conqueror haki.
As someone with the most conqueror haki in the manga, Shanks, who lost his arm in East Blue, his swordsmanship that is indistinguishable from Hawkeye's has long been one level lower than Hawkeyes. Otherwise, Hawkeye wouldn't be disdainful of dueling with him.
Yes... Hawkeyes really disdains dueling with Shanks, just like Shiki, the number one swordsman from the previous era, after cutting off his own legs, his swordsmanship was also severely affected.
If one of the two greatest swordsmen in the world loses a limb, then the handicapped side will lose 100% this time, unless the other side uses a special ability to bridge this gap.
Fighting Shanks, who lacked an arm, was not a battle of swordsmanship at all, but a battle of Haki.
The reason why Shanks in the manga become the youngest Pirate Emperor was entirely because of his companions, and his extremely powerful three types of haki.
Consuming Shanks Haki is equivalent to weakening his strength. So, now that Shanks's strength has suffered greatly if he gives up this chance to kill him, then his life in the future will not be easy.
Even if he could use Yasopp's son to threaten Shanks and Benn Beckman so that they wouldn't dare to do anything about him for the time being. However, after they arranged their companion's family, it will be the revenge of two people at the level of the Pirate Emperor.
At that time, even if El will hide in the sky above 10,000 meters, these two guys will haunt him like evil spirits. So this battle of life and death between them is inevitable and his opponent is not just the weakened Shanks, but also Benn Beckman whos almost in his heyday.
Maybe this is the legacy from fate!
After he seizes the Devil Fruit of Shiki, he will be like him, as he is about to challenge the alliance of the two powerhouses. (Shiki Vs Garp and Sengoku)
Thinking of this, El's heart was not heavy at all, but his blood boiled with excitement and it did not take a long time for him to fly out of the sea. As the bubble burst sounded, El look at the blue sea where the whirlpools had long since disappeared and after a while, two crisp cracking sounds just sounded.
"Why are you showing an expression like that..." Looking at Shanks full of hatred on his face, El smiled condescendingly. "I saw a very interesting scene in your companion's memory."
"A few years ago, you were in the Foosha Village of the Goa Kingdom in the East Blue, your deputy commander once said a sentence to a group of bandits that I very much approve."
"There is nothing despicable in the world of pirates... Do you think, that the one standing in front of you is a saint? Pirates are not a game... They have to risk their own lives!"
"And now, I also say this sentence to you." With a slight pause in his tone, El said with a calm expression. "Your former vice-captain, Silvers Rayleigh, was originally just a personal grudge, his former savior occupied my companion's hometown and I help my companion kill his savior, and he wanted to avenge his savior, so there was a battle on Sabaody Archipelago where he risks his own life."
"This battle was originally just a battle between me and him, you, the former intern of the Roger Pirates, should never have gone into this muddy water and destroyed my most important thing. "
"Since you chose to break the rules first.... that means you are ready to risk your life"
"So, why are you showing such expression." As another question fell, El sneered. "Didn't you bring this result on your own?"
Hearing this, Shanks and Benn Beckman, who had a look of hatred on their face and wished to use their haki to rise into the sky immediately, could not help but fall into silence.
At this moment, El completed the lore of killing their will and hearts even before the true battle started.
