Chapter 19 : Confrontation with Red Hair Again, Kill Yassop!

"Rear Admiral Dylan, here is today's newspaper." Dylan took the newspaper and glanced at it, his brows furrowed instantly.

"Donquixote Doflamingo becomes the king of the Dressrosa Kingdom"

Doflamingo? Isn't he Luffy's future enemy? Does this happen this year? After rubbing the space between his brows, Dylan tossed the newspaper aside.

'Forget it, in the current situation, not everything can be taken care of.'

Seeing that the marine who bring the newspaper for him hadn't gone out yet, Dylan was a little surprised, "Is there anything else?"

"And..." The marine took out another newspaper, "It's West Blue's newspaper, and it seems to be related to Mr. Shiryu and the others."

"Shiryu?"

With Shiryu's strength, there should be no opponents in West Blue, so how could it be in the newspapers?

"Red Hair Pirates landed in the Kano Country and started a battle with the mysterious man, the result of which is unknown. "

Dylan narrowed his eyes. Red hair again? Why are they always breathing at his neck? Picking up his sword on the table and putting it on his shoulders, he lowered his head and ordered to the messenger, "Tell Tom, I will go out for a few days and let him take care of the base."

"Yes, Sir!"

·······

West Blue, Kano Country.

"Now I know why he always said we are still not strong enough. Even 'Red Hair' Shanks is still an untouchable opponent for us." Bellmere leaned against the rock, looking sluggish. Under the opposite tree trunk, Shiryu closed his eyes and ignored Bellmere.

"I'm in trouble...ahem..."

"Shut up, you idiot." Shiryu took a breath and interrupted Bellmere, "If you hadn't insisted on finding trouble with the member of Happo Navy, we would never get into this situation!"

Bellmere rubbed her head sheepishly, knowing that it is indeed his impulsiveness that bring them to this situation together, "Forget it, Our Den Den Mushi is broken now, we can only wait for little Dylan to realize that we are in crisis."

The carefree Bellmere put out her cigarette, closed her eyes, and her face was extremely pale. Shiryu raised his eyes and looked at the woman opposite.

She has to admit that although this woman is weak, but... Her courage and fearlessness in battle have earned Shiryu's respect.

'Come on, Dylan. This stupid woman can hardly hold on...'

In the woods in the distance, there was a "rustling" sound, and Shiryu forcibly raised his hand to hold his sword, ready for another ambush. But that didn't happen, as he could see two people with masks on their faces appeared in front of him.

"Don't be nervous, we are members of the CP stationed in Kano Country, and we have been ordered to search for the two of you."

After recognizing the identity of the visitor, Shiryu breathed a sigh of relief, and said to CP, "Have you brought a doctor? That woman..."

Opposite of Shiryu, Bellmere's head had fallen to the side, and her face had turned sallow.

······

"Yes, according to the report from CP agents in Kano Country, Lieutenant Commander Bellmere's injuries are very serious, and she can only barely maintain her vital signs."

Dylan hung in the air and looked at the Den Den Mushi with cold eyes, "Don't talk so much nonsense with me, you just need to tell me, can she survive?"

CP0 was silent for a moment, "Yes, but..."

"Use all the capabilities of your CP organization to send her to the Drum Kingdom as quickly as possible, and notify me when she arrives. If she dies on the way, you know the consequences."

CP0 did not dare refute, and after a slight pause, he said, "Yes, Sir."

"Also!" Lightning flashed around Dylan's body, "Where is the ship of 'Red Hair'...I want the exact location."

...

The border of Kano Country.

Red Hair Pirates ship.

"Shanks..." Benn Beckman looked at the injured Lucky Roux and at the captain with a serious face. Just yesterday, they encountered the subordinate of the Chinjao group who was being chased by "Shiryu of the Rain" on their way to Kano Country.

Although the reason was not stated, Shanks could guess what happened and immediately went to the rescue of the leader of the Happo Navy, Don Chinjao. During the fight between the two sides, Lucky Roux was hit by Shiryu's slash and was seriously injured, and Shiryu himself was also severely injured by Shanks.

As for the woman, she was severely injured by Yasopp, who was enraged by his partner's injury. But what he should think right now is the retaliation from the Marines. Shiryu of the Rain... It turned out to be that man's subordinate.

And that woman...

After learning the news through special channels that Dylan would depart toward their direction, Shanks fell silent. Looking at the unconscious Lucky Roux in the cabin, Shanks' eyes flashed in determination. No matter what, he can't give up his companions!

However.....

"Damn! What is that?!"

The shout of his crews suddenly snapped Shanks from his thought. On the mast, the lookout's voice trembled. Shanks and Benn Beckman also seemed to sense something, looking seriously into the distance. On the distant sea, endless dark clouds wrapped in violent thunder pressed towards the position of Red Force.

The catastrophic scene left everyone on board dumbfounded.

When the dark clouds covered the entire sky, an emotionless voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"Who injured my subordinate?"

The members of the Red Hair Pirates looked at the figure slowly descending from the thundercloud, and some crew members with poor physical fitness had fainted uncontrollably.

"Gu~"

The cadres swallowed their saliva, this momentum... is even more terrifying than before.

"Is there no answer?" Dylan pulled out Shura, and just as the scarlet red blade was exposed to the air, the bloody smell spread across the entire sea.

*BOOOM!*

Yasopp raised his spear. The bullet covering Armament Haki flew toward Dylan's forehead in an instant.

"It's me, what can you do about it, marine bastard?"

Shanks opened his mouth slightly, smiled wryly, and then drew his sword, the Griffin.

"Get ready to fight, go all out!"

The bullet flew less than one meter away from Dylan's eyes, as if being held by an invisible hand, and then fell into the sea.

"Very good…."

Dylan, who was suspended in the air, looked at the Red Hair Pirates on the sea. The thundercloud rolled, and thunderbolts as thick as buckets entangled and intertwined in the clouds. Even though the Red Hair Pirates tried their best to release Armament Haki, they still felt the hair on their bodies trembling and their skin numb slightly.

"Logia awakening..." Shanks' face darkened, and the black Conqueror's Haki instantly covered Griffin.

"Dodge his attack!!"

A huge slash shot up into the sky, flying towards Dylan. In the face of Shanks' powerful Conqueror's Haki, Dylan did not take it lightly

"Damnit!"

His haki, which is slightly different from the red hair, is wrapped around Shura's blade, and Haki's slash with a strong smell of blood erupts from Shura's blade. The moment the slashes collided, the thundercloud in the sky was split into two.

Both Shanks on the ship and Dylan in the air pour power into it with their respective weapons in their hands.

bang bang!

Two shots were fired from afar. It was a long shot from Yasopp and a shot from Benn Beckman's pistol. Yasopp's bullet was ignored by Dylan easily. Unfortunately, Benn Beckman's bullet was wrapped around a strong armament Haki. Not enough to hurt him, but enough to distract him and create an opportunity for Shanks to attack.

"Son of a bitch!" Dylan gritted his teeth, held Shura's hands and pressed them. The two stalemate slashes in the air erupted, and the surrounding sea surged instantly as if being cut off from all directions.

Then, Dylan's figure flashed and disappeared instantly.

"He is gone!?" A cadre looked shocked. Shanks, Benn Beckman, and Yasopp looked at each other with serious expressions.

"No, no..."

The dark clouds that had been cut off by the slash before suddenly gathered again, even giving people the illusion that they had solidified. And the thunder among them has become even more astonishing. Violent thunder kept hitting the sea. The red hair pirates are like a helpless leaf fluttering in the thunder.

"Be careful!"

Shanks' pupils shrank suddenly. In the sky, a giant thunderstorm figure with only one foot emerged, with Dylan on top of that, raising his sword to the sky. When he dropped his sword toward the red hair's ship, the thunder jumped down from the thundercloud, as if it had life.

"Defend with all your strength!!!"

*BOOOOMMM!!!*

The sea collapses, burying the crew of the Red Hair Pirates who tried to unleash their Haki to fend off the beasts of the sky.

"Ugh~"

As the cadres fell to the ground, Shanks' hands began to shake. Such power... At such a young age... Will he really become the thorn in his plan?

Just when Shanks' strength was about to run out, the thunder finally dimmed.

"Huh ... Huh ..." Shanks was panting and just spoke. A cadre who hadn't fallen to the ground screamed, "Yasopp!? Bastard Marine! How dare you..."

Yasopp, who was standing with everyone, suddenly disappeared just to appear once again in Dylan's hand. In the sky, Dylan pinched Yasopp's neck, and under the blessing of Armament Haki, the huge force pinched Yassop's throat with a simple slash.

In the red hair's ship, Shanks who saw the execution of his sniper leashed out another wild conqueror haki.

"Adams Dylan, how dare you!"

However, Dylan just looked at Shanks lazily and said, "Yes I dare. And just like he said before, what can you do about it, pirate bastard?"

Snapped!

Yassop's neck bone was broken, and his body hung limply.

"Yasopp!!!"

"Yasopp!!!!"

Dylan threw Yasopp's body into the sea, and before anyone could catch the body, a thunderbolt fell, and the body floating on the sea was instantly reduced to pieces.

"You..." Shanks gasped, eyes burning. But what Dylan said next sends a shiver through his spine.

"You think, you can go and do anything you want without any consequence, redhead? Is this your so-called freedom?"

The thunderclouds in the sky didn't seem to dissipate in the slightest, and even the roar of beasts in the thunderclouds could be vaguely heard.

Puru~Puru~Puru~

The blue Den Den Mushi suddenly buzzer rang and Dylan hung up irritably.

"Oh shit!"

Dylan looked at the blond Five Elders after answering.

"Adams Dylan, stop. You have already executed the person who attacked your subordinate, so let's stop here. The man with red hair can't die now, balance..."

"We have survived in the era between the death of Roger and before this bastard raised his power and became an emperor, so, what kind of bullshit balance here are you talking about? After killing him, it will naturally be balanced!"

Dylan stared at the Den Den Mushi, refusing to back down.

"You know in your heart that this is not the case. And this man is different from other great pirates. Adams Dylan, this is what Master Im said."

The other party didn't hide it, and directly said the name of "Im". Dylan stared at the Den Den Mushi for a moment, thinking about what the other party just said.

What does it mean!?

Is that some sort of warning?

Does he know that I know about his existence?

How does he know? Does that mean his identity as a transmigrator has been exposed?

"As compensation, Mariejois will grant you an additional Vice Admiral rank and compensate you with a Devil Fruit. As you know, the fruits of Mariejois are all those legendary varieties."

Dylan could only watch the Den Den Mushi with a dissatisfied look. But when he finally managed to calm down, a sense of crisis suddenly welled up in his heart, and Dylan's heart trembled.

NO!

Although his observation haki can't predict the future like Katakuri, however, under Sky Island's unique training method, it is absolutely impossible to hide the movement within a few kilometers or even more than ten kilometers around.

How the hell did the Five Elders know they'd already killed Yasopp, and just in time to call?

Is that him?

Im?

"Alright.." Dylan looked at the Den Den Mushi, finally backed down. Just as Mariejois breathed a sigh of relief, Dylan's voice sounded again.

"It's even this time, but only this time." The Five Elders were silent and seemed to acquiesce to this statement. Looking at the broken Red Force on the sea, Dylan's eyes flashed fiercely.

Just for the sake of the unknown powerful party, he finally backed down from annihilating the red-hair pirates right now. But that doesn't mean he could accept it. When he thinks about the man behind all of this shenanigan, he couldn't help but wonder….

Im...

Who the hell is this guy?!
