Chapter 108 Battle with Shanks 4
Shanks' crew watched helplessly as their captain fell, their hearts filled with anxiety and worry.
Meanwhile, Luo Tian had successfully removed the aging effect imposed on Shanks.
Shanks slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the cold ground, with Griffin, which he had been clutching tightly in his hand, gently placed aside.
Immediately afterwards, a hearty laugh came from his mouth.
"Hahahaha! Looks like we've lost this battle!"
Hearing their leader admit defeat, Shanks' crew members, though unwilling, obeyed orders and stopped what they were doing.
After all, for them, Shanks' words were absolute commands.
In fact, the moment Luo Tian attacked, Shanks sensed that the other party had no intention of killing him.
Even if Hawkeye hadn't intervened, I would never have lost my life because of it.
Thinking of this, Shanks couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Luo Tian in front of him.
Seeing this, Luo Tian smiled and stepped forward, helping Shanks up from the ground, and said softly.
"Don't worry, you're fine. Besides, the rest of the Four Emperors will eventually end up like you."
However, Shanks did not look like a loser at all at this moment. His eyes were shining with curiosity as he stared straight at Luo Tianwen.
"Hey, Luo Tian, we've already fought once, can you let me see your true abilities? I'm really curious, and I feel like that wasn't your full strength just now."
Luo Tian slowly raised his hand and pointed to the other side of the deserted island.
"Elimination"
With a gentle wave of his hand, and a low rumble, half of the deserted island vanished without a trace, as if nothing had ever existed there.
However, Luo Tian did not stop there.
He raised his arm again.
"exile"
In an instant, a huge spatial rift suddenly split open in the sky, like a ferocious maw, exuding a chilling aura.
Just then, the half of the island that had just disappeared suddenly fell out of the crack and crashed into the sea like a small mountain.
With a deafening roar, towering waves surged up from the sea, crashing towards their location with overwhelming force.
The waves surged high into the clouds, as if they were about to swallow the entire world.
Faced with such a horrifying sight, Luo Tian simply snapped his fingers crisply.
A miracle occurred; the once raging waves seemed to be bound by some invisible force, instantly freezing in place.
Then, another snap of fingers rang out, and the waves vanished silently into the air like phantoms.
Shanks, who witnessed all of this, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment.
He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Wow, that's amazing! Is this all you're capable of?"
Luo Tian nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"Well, I guess you could call it part of it."
Upon hearing this, Shanks felt even more curious and admiring of Luo Tian.
Therefore, he warmly invited Luo Tian to host a banquet.
Luo Tian agreed to Shanks' request.
Seeing that their captain had stopped fighting, the group, who had been engaged in fierce combat, put down their weapons and sat together, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.
Shanks' crew brought wine and food from the ship, and Dan, along with Anna Angel, retrieved wine from the Dragon's hold.
The banquet was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
At this moment, Beckman quietly walked over and sat down next to Luo Tian.
"Luo Tian, can you tell me your real purpose for coming here? It can't be as simple as just coming to challenge our Red-Haired Pirates."
Beckman asked with a serious expression. As the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, he was not only resourceful but also experienced in many trials and tribulations and had seen countless people. However, at this moment, facing the mysterious and unpredictable Luo Tian, even he could not fathom Luo Tian's true thoughts.
Upon hearing Beckman's question, Shanks, who was standing nearby, became very curious and quickly moved closer to find out what was going on.
Luo Tian turned to look at Beckman sitting next to him, smiled slightly, and then spoke slowly.
"Actually, there's no particularly complicated reason. I just want to challenge you four emperors. After all, only in this way can the whole world know that I, Luo Tian, who had disappeared for so long, have returned to this sea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tian raised the glass of wine in his hand, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
In fact, most of Luo Tian's actions were carried out in accordance with the task instructions issued by the system, and he himself often did not have much of a clear purpose.
After hearing Luo Tian's words, Red Hair laughed loudly.
"Haha, no problem! Leave this news to me. I'm sure it won't be long before the entire ocean is buzzing with excitement because of this!"
After saying that, the red-haired man stared at Luo Tian with his sharp eyes and asked curiously.
"So, Luo Tian, can you tell me your original purpose for setting sail?"
Luo Tian smiled slightly and replied:
Does becoming the Pirate King count?
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tian looked at Shanks with a smile on his face, as if waiting for the other party's reaction.
Shanks was taken aback by these words, then threw his head back and burst into laughter, his laughter as surging and passionate as the ocean waves.
As the laughter subsided, he patted Luo Tian on the shoulder and said.
"Haha, I see! But judging from your tone, it seems you haven't even fully decided on your goal yet. Oh well, let's wait until you've decided before we talk about it. But hearing you mention this reminds me of an old friend."
Luo Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted it out.
"Luffy?"
A look of nostalgia crossed Shanks' face as he nodded and said.
"That's right, it's Luffy. Have you met him before? Isn't he an interesting guy? He's also saying he wants to become the Pirate King."
"No, I've only heard of him. My master is his grandfather, so I've heard his name before."
"Garp? We're really destined to meet. That old man insists that I led his grandson into the pirate world, and he's furious about it all the time."
Luo Tian rolled his eyes at him, said nothing, and just silently drank his wine.
"How could it not be your doing? It's already a miracle that Garp isn't chasing you every day."
