Chapter 125

"You bastard, how did you suddenly appear behind me?" Garp looked at Vermillion solemnly. He felt that the man was much stronger than the last time he fought him!

At first, he thought he was just a strong man who relied on his physical strength, but with every encounter, he strangely showed more and more outrageous abilities. Could Devil Fruit provide such outrageous abilities?

"That's secret." Vermillion smiled as he gripped Garp's fist tightly.

From behind, Vermillion sensed a familiar figure that had just arrived. When he looked back, sure enough, one of the most powerful men in the ocean appeared!

"Ahh!"

The sound of screaming was heard; one by one, the Navy soldiers lost their consciousness.

"Huh!" Sensing a familiar aura, Garp focused his gaze on the uninvited guest.

At the same time, Zephyr, the vice admiral, as well as the World Government agents were both looking back.

"Conqueror Haki!" Garp said.

With more and more Navy soldiers fainting, the silhouette of the person who caused it came into view. A certain group of pirates walked confidently toward the war zone, and the group leader was a red-haired man.

"Red-Haired Shanks! What are you doing here?" Seeing the arrival of Shanks, the Yonkou, Garp was enraged. Besides being a pirate, he was also the man who had brainwashed his grandson, Luffy!

Since Shanks arrived at Foosha Village, his grandson kept shouting that he wanted to be a Pirate King. Garp, who wished him to be a Navy man, was angered! He even fantasized about punching this red-haired bastard in the face!

"Sorry, Garp, let's talk about that another time." Meeting Luffy's grandfather, Shanks felt a little reluctant.

"My purpose for coming here is none other than to ask you to stop the operation to arrest Marshal Blue."

"If you still insist on capturing him, then..." Drawing his sword, Shanks continued, "Then the Red Hair Pirates will be your opponents."

"Right, if you insist, don't blame me if I shoot you." Yasopp, the Red Hair Pirates' sniper, raised his weapon.

Hearing Shanks and Yasopp's threats, the Navy soldiers and World Government agents fell silent.

If they had the upper hand in this battle and managed to corner Marshal Blue, then it would have been natural for Shanks to ask them to stop the attack. However, it was clear that they were the underdogs from the start!

So, when they heard Shanks' threat, they could only remain silent.

Garp frowned, "What do you mean, what kind of relationship do the Red Hair Pirates and the Drake Pirates have?"

"Relationships? Oh, they are our benefactors, so we can't let the Navy and World Government's side capture them."

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter, and we will do our best to repay those who have shown kindness to our Red Hair Pirates."

Hearing Shanks' words, Garp fell silent. Since the sudden appearance of Artoria and Gilgamesh, no matter which one was being fought, both were equally strong. Garp even doubted whether he and his Navy colleagues could defeat Marshal Blue's entire team.

In other words, if he wanted to defeat these two new people, at least an Admiral was needed; otherwise, their side would receive heavy losses. Unfortunately, when Kizaru was about to fight Gilgamesh, he suddenly disappeared.

The sudden appearance of the two strong opponents and the disappearance of CP0 and Kizaru made Garp's heart feel heavy. If Kizaru and CP0 did not reappear, it could be said that they would lose this battle. Even if they won in the end, the cost they would need to pay would be tremendous.

And now that the Red Hair Pirates appeared, this situation made him even more hesitant.

Not only Garp, Zephyr, and the Vice Admiral, who were still conscious, both frowned.

Seeing the silence of Garp and the others, Shanks smiled as he led his friends towards Marshal Blue.

"I finally got to meet you, Marshal Blue."

"Thank you so much for saving my friend's wife, if it wasn't for you, Yasopp would have fallen into deep regret." Shanks said while expressing his gratitude.

"That's right." Yasopp bowed ninety degrees towards Vermillion.

"Without you, I would have lost the most important person in my life. With us here, you no longer have to worry about the Navy attack."

"By the way, why did your team suddenly split up?" Asked Shanks suspiciously, "With the whole team with you, I'm sure you guys won't be able to be captured by the World Government."

"When I heard the news of the split-up and the desire of the Navy and the World Government to capture you, I was shocked."

"So, in order to help you guys, we hurriedly set sail for this island. Luckily we arrived on time, hahaha!" Shanks laughed.

"First, I appreciate your good intentions, but... we don't really need help. We were the superior side in this battle from the start."

"If you hadn't come, we might have ended this battle." He said as he patted Shanks on the shoulder.

"Huh?!" Hearing that explanation, both Shanks and Yasopp were equally surprised.
