What Robin cared about most, however, was the Poneglyph with its clear handwriting.
Standing here, Robin can already see what's displayed above!
Her pupils suddenly contracted! So that's how it is!
Laugh Tale is not a fixed island! No wonder Saul, who has deciphered most of the Poneglyphs, could only give a general location!
Rather than a perfectly precise flight path! But now, combining the two, Robin knows everything!!
The giant king Groot was not surprised at all and greeted Shanks with a hearty laugh!
Clearly, they not only know each other, but also have a very good relationship!
"Shanks!!" Luffy called out as he walked towards Shanks!
"Now you've become an excellent pirate, Luffy!! But what lies ahead? You should be prepared, shouldn't you?" Shanks smiled knowingly, but drew his famous sword, Griffin, from his waist!
"Of course!! I will definitely surpass you all and become the Pirate King!" Luffy shouted, raising his arms wide!
But before he could finish speaking, a terrifying burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from the red-haired man!
This place is located very deep underground, so even if you unleash your full power, the people above won't notice!
The space here was large enough that the red-haired sword was instantly imbued with Conqueror's Haki! With full power, it swept its sword mercilessly towards Luffy!!
"Shanks..." Luffy's expression changed upon seeing this, and he immediately entered Gear Fifth!
Zoro, Sanji, Jinbe, and the others immediately tensed up!
They know each other, aren't they on good terms? How could they launch such a terrifying attack right from the start?!
"Rubber White Fist!!"
Boom! The fist collided with the blade, and powerful energy surged outwards!
"Want to fight?!" Zoro drew his three swords without hesitation!
"Zoro, wait! This is our promise! I will definitely surpass Shanks!" But Luffy reached out to stop Zoro and the others!
Beckman and the others never drew their weapons; they simply watched calmly.
"A duel between men!"
"It's been so many years since we last saw them!" Brogy and Dorry said nostalgically, then sat down at a distance, watching Luffy and Shanks with curiosity!
"I thought that with Nico Robin's help, Luffy would eventually come here no matter where they escaped to, but I didn't expect there to be so many people here. Vegapunk, Law from the Worst Generation, Bonney, even Crocodile is here... This lineup is a bit strange!" Rachel said curiously after gnawing on a piece of meat with bones and looking at everyone.
"You'll get used to it. Didn't that guy with the barrier shout that he'd clear the way for Luffy? He's one of the Four Emperors now, so it's not surprising that he has some helpers around him!"
"Who's Straw Hat Boy's helper?! We're not!!" Law and Crocodile quickly denied upon hearing this.
Helper!? That means subordinates? Of course they wouldn't admit to that...
"Luffy, you're a pirate, and so am I. Logically speaking, we're competitors. I can't just hand over the One Piece to you for nothing! At least... you have to show me your true strength!! If you can't even handle me, you won't be able to make it through the rest of the journey! Then let's stop here!" Shanks was like a mentor, guiding Luffy from a young age!
Now, their reunion marks the moment Luffy graduates from his training!
If Luffy's strength is really much weaker than mine, then... there's no need to let Luffy take risks on the road ahead!
He can do it himself!
At that moment, everyone could hear the seriousness in the red hair's words!
"What does it matter? Didn't you bring Luffy onto the path of piracy? Didn't you have high hopes for Luffy? Why fight? Just let Luffy keep going..." Nami was interrupted by Luffy before she could finish speaking!
"Nami! No need to say anything!! I know! I will definitely defeat you!!" Luffy said, and his incredibly powerful Conqueror's Haki erupted!
He reached up and adjusted the brim of his straw hat, his expression becoming incredibly serious! Zoro and the others immediately understood!
Luffy is serious now! He's serious about defeating Shanks! Three!

Whoosh...
Boom boom boom...
Two streaks of light refracted back and forth in this spacious area; it was spacious enough!
But for the two of them, it only takes a few seconds to get from one end to the other!
The Conqueror's Haki clashed repeatedly, fists striking the famous sword, creating terrifying shockwaves!
Fortunately, there were many powerful individuals around who would step in and stop most of the aftershocks!
In this way, even if the surrounding walls are subjected to some impact, they will not collapse!
Moreover, this space was artificially created to store historical documents, and it is extremely sturdy!
After exchanging over a hundred blows, each move dangerous, especially the red-haired man's swordsmanship, which was incredibly fast and swift!
Extremely difficult to catch, it sent Luffy flying several times. Seeing this, Luffy tried to use his Observation Haki to track Shanks' attack trajectory!
However, the trajectory of Shanks was unpredictable!
"Luffy, your Observation Haki's ability to foresee the future is useless against the boss. His Conqueror's Haki is too strong; it can shatter all senses!" Beckman couldn't help but remind Luffy when he saw Luffy's bewildered expression.
"Hey, Beckman, you're not hoping I lose, are you?" the red-haired man said helplessly.
"No, but we'd be happy to see you get a good beating from Luffy!" Beckman said with a smile!
"Hahaha!!"
"That's right!!" Lazio and the others chimed in from the sidelines!
"Observation Haki is useless...?" Actually, even without Beckman's reminder, Luffy completely understood after a few collisions!
"They're fighting so fiercely, won't anyone get killed?" Usopp said worriedly from the side!
Both of them looked like they were giving it their all!
At times like these, not giving it your all is disrespectful to the other party.
But if everyone goes all out, and they can't stop their attack, they might just kill the other side!
So many people are quite worried!
This level of intense fighting is no joke!
"Rubber Monkey Gun!"
"God avoids!!"
Boom! !!! Another all-out collision, both of them sustained injuries of varying degrees!
"Red-Haired Shanks is so strong!! Luffy didn't gain any advantage at all!" Chopper was stunned!
"That's only natural, isn't it? Shanks is the most active pirate crew besides yours since the Great Pirate Era!" Crocodile said, smoking heavily. It felt like only a short time had passed since he last saw him!
Straw Hat Boy seems to have gotten even stronger!
"Luffy is really strong! Even the boss probably wouldn't be confident of winning!"
"Luffy was slightly at a disadvantage just now, but as time went on, he adapted very quickly! He truly lives up to his legendary Mythical Zoan ability!"
"Luffy, both of the boss's Conqueror's Haki are very strong. Although the boss is slightly stronger, Luffy's Devil Fruit ability can make up for that little bit!"
"Hmm, Luffy may not know swordsmanship, but his reflexes are quick. The boss's attack didn't land completely on him!"...
Watching the intense battle unfold, the two exchanged blows, each having their own chances of winning or losing!
Time passed slowly, and at first everyone was full of worry, watching intently!
But an hour passed, three hours passed, half a day passed!
Seeing that the two were still evenly matched, everyone started chatting with the people around them!
Zoro, Beckman, Lazio, and others started drinking.
Usopp was chatting happily with his father and Brogy on the side!
The others sat together, and giants brought them food and wine.
They watched the intense battle unfold while chatting and laughing!
The banquet lasted until nightfall, and Zoro, Beckman, and the others all fell asleep!
Luffy and Shanks were both panting heavily, but the fight was still undecided!
The two of them have amazing stamina. It's understandable that Luffy has the Mythical Zoan Release Drum ability!
But Shanks' stamina is also incredibly abundant!!
The two shifted their stances repeatedly during the fierce battle!
Luffy went from Gear 5 to Gear 4, Gear 3, and Gear 2.
Then it climbs from second gear to fifth gear, and repeats this process back and forth!
Shanks also went from his normal state to a state of full-power Binding and unleashing all his sword techniques!
Then it slipped from its strongest state to its normal state!
Another day and night have passed!
By the third day, some of the people who had been watching the two fight had developed dark circles under their eyes!
