Chapter 179 The Situation is Turbulent
Cheng Xiaoyu approached Minos and silently made contact with him in his mind.
"My true form, what should I do now?" Cheng Xiaoyu's inner voice echoed.
When Minos heard Cheng Xiaoyu's questioning voice in his mind, he showed no surprise and calmly said, "Later, you can simply transform the shadows of the dead members of the Red-Haired Pirates into the Shadow Army."
Minos paused slightly, then said, "As for other matters, you don't need to worry about them; leave them to me."
After hearing Minos's words in his mind, Cheng Xiaoyu nodded slightly and replied, "Okay. I'll transform Beckman and the other Red-Haired Pirates' corpses into the Shadow Army in a bit."
Meanwhile, on the Whitebeard Pirates' side, Hawkeye and Rayleigh finally managed to reach Shanks.
They looked extremely disheveled. Their bodies were covered with sword wounds, and blood was constantly gushing from the wounds, soaking their clothes.
If the Whitebeard Pirates hadn't arrived in time, Rayleigh and Mihawk would probably have lost their lives soon.
Shanks, the Red-Haired, had a solemn and complicated expression. He slowly raised his head, looked at Whitebeard, and said in a voice filled with endless loneliness, "Whitebeard, you've come."
Hawkeye and Rayleigh also looked at Whitebeard with complicated expressions. If it weren't for the Whitebeard Pirates' miraculous intervention at that critical moment, they would probably be stuck on this Serbian island forever.
The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at Shanks, who was now all alone and utterly dejected, and couldn't help but show a sense of shared sorrow.
Just a month ago, they also nearly lost their lives at Minos's hands, but were lucky enough to escape.
Unlike Shanks, whose entire crew perished in battle, leaving him as the lone captain, Shanks' fate was far more tragic.
Whitebeard's gaze was deep as he carefully examined Shanks, Rayleigh, and Mihawk, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, "It hasn't been that long since we last met, and you've all gotten yourselves into this state. It's truly a sorry sight."
Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, Shanks raised his head with difficulty, glanced at Whitebeard with a low and dim gaze, and said with a dejected expression, "Yes, it was indeed a sorry sight."
"Who would have thought that we would be utterly defeated in just half a day?"
At this point, a bitter smile appeared on Shanks' face as he continued, "If you hadn't arrived in time, we might all be dead at the hands of that Minos guy."
Whitebeard looked at the dejected Shanks, his gaze suddenly sharpening. His expression turned serious and earnest as he said in a deep voice, "Red-haired brat, perk up! We haven't gotten justice for that wretched Minos yet!"
Whitebeard paused slightly, then roared, "I am Whitebeard! On this vast ocean, I cannot be defeated!"
At Whitebeard's booming shout, the Whitebeard Pirates' morale surged like a tidal wave.
The entire pirate crew seemed to be infused with an invisible, powerful force, and a burning fighting spirit ignited in the eyes of every member.
At this exciting moment, a blazing blue flame suddenly erupted from Marco's body, the flames swirling around him like agile sprites.
In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into the phoenix form of the mythical beast species, flapping his wings and soaring into the sky.
Marco stood tall and shouted, "Dad is the strongest man in the world! How could he possibly lose!" His voice pierced the sky, filled with boundless determination and trust.
Hearing Marco's powerful shout from the sky, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates seemed to have their blood boil, and they all roared in unison, "Dad is the strongest in the world, he can never lose!"
"Dad is the strongest man in the world, he will never lose!"
"Dad..."
The shouts rose and fell, intertwining like a stirring battle song, echoing across the battlefield.
Thus, inspired by Whitebeard and Marco, the entire Whitebeard Pirates' morale soared to an almost frenzied state.
Its momentum was like a surging tsunami, or a turbulent wave, rolling in unstoppable.
If someone with a weaker mind were to be in this place, they would probably be instantly overwhelmed by this incredibly powerful aura and unable to move.
Infected by this overwhelming and powerful aura, Shanks gradually regained his long-lost confidence.
His eyes, which had previously been confused and downcast, became firm and bright.
At this moment, Shanks looked at Whitebeard with gratitude and said sincerely, "Whitebeard, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have sunk deeper and deeper into the mire of despair and been unable to extricate myself."
Whitebeard looked at Shanks, who had regained his confidence, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. After chuckling, he said, "Red-haired brat, the upcoming battle is the most important. Don't let me down at the crucial moment!"
Red-Haired Shanks stared intently at Whitebeard, his expression grave and resolute as he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry! I absolutely won't! Because today I'm determined to completely eliminate that bastard Minos!"
Just as Whitebeard was about to continue his conversation with Shanks, a wild and unrestrained laugh suddenly resounded through the sky.
The laughter was full of mockery and disdain, like sharp needles piercing straight into everyone's ears, making them feel uneasy.
Whitebeard, Shanks, and the others instinctively looked up in the direction of the sound.
Then I saw...
For some reason, Minos was standing there laughing wildly and unrestrainedly, looking extremely arrogant.
Whitebeard frowned deeply, his gaze sharp as he stared intently at Minos. Then, with a cold snort, he spoke with a tone full of authority and accusation: "Minos brat, what are you laughing at?"
"Could it be that he went mad because he knew he was about to die?"
Minos gradually stopped laughing after hearing Whitebeard's words.
A slight smirk played on his lips as he glanced at Shanks, who was fighting alongside Whitebeard, then surveyed the arrogant pirates under Whitebeard's command. He then said calmly, "Old man Whitebeard, you don't naively think that your Whitebeard Pirates plus Shanks can defeat me today, do you?"
Before he could finish speaking, Minos slowly looked around, his eyes filled with provocation and arrogance. He spoke softly but clearly, "Anyone else who wants to gang up on me, Minos? Then come at me all at once!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the already tense battlefield situation changed once again.
Then I saw...
A colossal mammoth figure, with heavy and powerful strides, led hundreds of pirates like a tidal wave surging into the battlefield from the flank of the Whitebeard Pirates.
When everyone's eyes fell on this suddenly appearing figure, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Someone exclaimed in a low voice, "Isn't that Jack the Drought from the Beasts Pirates? Is Kaido going to get involved in this mess too?"
……
P.S.: A major battle is imminent. (◣_◢)
