One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons.

There is a saying that Crocodile even thinks that tickets should be sold for this scene!

[Red Hair]'s sword is something you can't just see.

The famous sword "Griffin"——

Rumor has it that the red-haired man once held that sword and competed with the world's greatest swordsman [Hawkeye] Joracol Mihawk!

If an ordinary swordsman even takes a look at this level of swordsmanship, he will have no regrets in his life.

What's more, there are other "bonus desserts" for you to taste one by one.

[Devil], knight sword, heavy fruits.

Each one has its own merits and unique skills, which are enough to give the spectators a complete surprise!

……

"Hehehehe..."

Crocodile used a golden hook to hang up the pirate leader's hair, his right hand condensed into a gravel scimitar, and he patted the pirate's face.

"Hey, don't pretend to be dead, or I'll take it seriously."

"what?!"

When the pirate leader heard this, he immediately opened his closed eyes.

He is also a person who assesses situations.

The group of people in front of me...

Do not!

These "monsters"!

The reason why they spared his life was not out of mercy, but entirely to gather information.

But if he did, "those people" wouldn't let him go!

"me……"

The pirate leader murmured, watching the gravel scimitar gradually approach his neck, and immediately shouted in a daze: "I said it, I said it!"

Crocodile then recovered his right hand and waited for the next step.

"I only know that they come from the Grand Line, and they promised to give us lots of rewards in the future!"

Crocodile frowned slightly, "So, what's the purpose?"

"It's those kids!"

The pirate leader quickly looked not far away.

The children who were kidnapped by them have now been released by Lindsay and others.

"Musicians are very valuable in the slave market, and the price of Elegian musicians can triple!"

"Normally, we don't dare to provoke the participating countries, but now some people say that they can circumvent the surveillance of the world government and help us smuggle our children out!"

"Big...brothers, everything I know is useless.

Only halfway through the next word, the pirate leader suddenly rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, and passed out.

At this moment, everyone has no intention to care about irrelevant things.

Whether it was Crocodile, Fujitora, Jorian, or even Lindsay, their expressions had stiffened at this moment.

The most serious one is Nicole Robin.

This girl, who had been in the underground world for a long time, had faced countless bloody and cruel fights, but at this moment she was trembling with fear.

The black and blue pupils trembled violently, almost turning up and passing out!

rumbling rumbling...

The vibrations, like a violent heartbeat, spread, tearing apart everyone's nerves.

Even the stone bricks on the ground couldn't withstand such terrifying pressure, and they cracked one after another!

The cracks spread one after another to the soles of the man's feet.

what is that?

That is the strongest, most terrifying, and the most advanced overlord-colored domineering energy in this sea!

Its owner is [Red-haired] Shanks!

Its oppressive power is enough to shake the heavens and the earth. Just passing by can make a battle-hardened general fall to the ground!

——Of course, these are things for later.

At this moment, Shanks' arms are intact and he has not experienced many major events in the future.

Although he has great strength, he is not yet the "absolute hegemon with both mind and body".

But there was one key point that was enough to make Shanks' emotions go crazy.

she was--

Uta.

"How dare you interrupt my daughter's concert..."

Shanks' pupils tightened, anger welled up in his heart, and he gritted his teeth.

He doesn't care about the contempt or humiliation of others, but he can't stand the danger of the people he cares about.

"Gather the young ones together."

"Yes, let them help, we must uproot this group of people!"

"..."

As the saying goes, "care leads to chaos."

Regarding Uta's dream, Shanks thought too much for a while and couldn't calm down.

Snapped!

At this moment, a big hand suddenly placed on Shanks' shoulder.

Overlord's domineering aura spread subconsciously, but it seemed to have touched an abnormal and terrifying invisible giant beast.

The giant beast opened its scarlet eyes, opened its sharp fangs, and let out a silent but deafening roar!

"Roar!"

At this moment, Shanks came back to his senses, and his overlord color and domineering energy shrank inward, eliminating this short-term but terrifying influence.

He looked back and saw Alvin Lindsay.

Lindsay's face faintly overlapped with the "invisible giant beast", and he grinned: "This is really exciting..."

"what!"

Shanks realized his mistake and waved his hands quickly: "Sorry, sorry, are you okay? I'm so immature..."

"..."

"Oh oh oh..."

Fujitora rubbed his head, his sense of knowledge was violently disrupted, and the images in his mind were spinning.

"Is this [Red Hair]? What a terrifying power!"

"..."

"Are you all right?"

Jorian's vision was still blurry, but he held on and went over to pat Robin gently.

There was only one little girl among the people present, so the knight naturally had to take care of her.

"..."

Robin covered his head, closed his eyes tightly, and waved his hands gently.

"fine……"

……

"Hey?"

Crocodile kicked the pirate leader on the ground.

"Hey!"

"..."

"Tsk, I'm so faint."

Crocodile frowned, lit a cigar for himself, and then looked back at Shanks and the others.

Seeing them still sorting out their thoughts, I felt happy and immediately gave the answer:

"A slave trader."

"what?"

"They are slave traders from the Grand Line, and they are very powerful."

Crocodile recalled many clues and said slowly:

"The slave traders from the Grand Line have their eyes on the musicians of Elegia, so they plan to take advantage of the chaos during the music festival and kidnap a large number of children to make a fortune!"

"..."

The crowd fell into contemplation.

Lindsay asked casually: "How did you analyze it?"

"Oh, someone asked me for a partnership before and planned to do a similar business in another country. I felt embarrassed and could only make quick money, so I was too lazy to agree."

"..."

"What are you all looking at me for?"

"..."

Everyone was still speechless, but they all showed sharp eyes.

……

Except for Crocodile, everyone present hated slave traders.

What about Crocodile?

He simply looked down upon them and disdained their company.

Selling slaves is just making money at most, and it depends on the face of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government. They are making money on their knees!

What Crocodile is pursuing is not petty profit, but a greater "ambition"!

……

There wasn’t much deliberation.

Shanks decided to take everyone directly to find his friend Gordon, the king of Elegia.

On the other hand, he will also contact the scattered members of the red-haired pirates to assist the king's army in protecting children while investigating clues about the "slave traders".

Working separately is the most efficient!

……

Everyone walked along the road and headed straight towards the castle at the end.

It is a beautiful music palace, and it is also the residence of the royal family and many musical families.

In the reception hall, everyone successfully met Gordon.

Wearing a white orchestra conductor's uniform, he has a long forehead and a curved double chin. He doesn't look handsome, but he exudes an elegant temperament.

He is the king of Iregia and a world-renowned outstanding musician!

"Ah, Shanks, I have received news from the King's Army!"

Gordon was prepared.

He had already received news from the king's army that pirates were causing trouble.

There will be a grand concert the day after tomorrow as the highlight of the festival.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth holding of the concert, they must resolve this turmoil before this time!

"These are all helpers? That's really great..."

Gordon quickly took out the map and began to analyze the current situation with Shanks.

Gordon knew the character of the red-haired pirates, so he was not afraid of their evil intentions.

While the two were discussing, a small head suddenly emerged from the side.

It's a beautiful little girl.

She has bright purple eyes and long red and light pink hair, tied into two braids.

Wearing headphones on her head, she was wearing a beige skirt.

She looked at the people around her curiously, and finally landed on Shanks, whom she was most familiar with.

The girl's name is "Uta".

It was the "daughter" that Shanks found among the trophies during a robbery of a slave ship.

At a young age, he showed amazing musical talent.

Now, she has followed the red-haired pirates to Elegia and is preparing for the grand concert in two days.

Uta is not the kind of child who is ignorant.

She listened to the conversation between Shanks and Gordon and realized that there were pirates causing trouble in Elegia, and she couldn't help but feel worried.

"Shanks, will everyone be fine? The people of Eregia..."

"Do not worry!"

Shanks smiled and rubbed Uta's head.

Shen said:

"I assure you that everyone will be fine and the concert will be held as scheduled!"

……

Everyone looked at this scene without any special feeling.

It's just an ordinary "father and daughter".

Except she—

Nicole Robin.

She felt the warmth of family affection and couldn't help but recall everyone in O'Hara.

The Demon-Slaying Order destroyed everything!

My family is all gone...

Robin pressed the brim of his hat, suppressing the pain in his heart.

At this moment, a big hand suddenly touched her head and rubbed it slowly.

She looked up and saw that it was Alvin Lindsay, who seemed to be comforting her.

"I do not……"

She had experienced so many dark and painful things that she was subconsciously afraid of this sudden concern.

He was about to shake off Lindsay's hand, but looking at that face, the familiar feeling from before came back to him again.

Robin was startled, as if he recalled something.

"..."

That was a past event that happened in O'Hara, and it was also the source of the "feeling of familiarity."

In the library of the Tree of Omniscientity.

Robin was reading a book, and Grandpa Dr. Clover beside her was gently stroking her head.

The two of them were like a pair of grandfather and grandson, enjoying each other happily.

And not far away, he——

No, it!

An ancient sculpture is placed next to many bookshelves, watching everything that comes and goes!

The sculpture looks like a "person".

Who?

The [Devil] right before our eyes—Evan Lindsay!
