Red-haired Shanks and Fire Fist Ace were standing on the deck of the ship.

They looked at the situation on Skull Island from a distance, dozens of miles apart.

I saw that the transparent protective barrier had turned into a network of cracks under the bombardment of countless artillery fire.

With a crisp sound of clicking, it completely turned into fragments, split into pieces, and turned into little crystal rays of light, floating in the air.

Immediately afterwards.

Under the command of Green Bull, the sea creatures came out in full force. Amidst the loud shouts of killing, they surged out like a tide and made an impact towards the location of the Shenlong Adventure Group.

At the same time, the battle between Li Xiao and Akainu had become very fierce, and was slowly becoming more intense.

Once the winner is determined between the two, it will be like a final word and will lock the outcome of the entire battle. Therefore, it will also tug at the hearts of many people.

Especially Fire Fist Ace.

You know, when Marinefando was at war, as a prisoner about to be executed, Ace was almost certain to die. However, with the full efforts of the Whitebeard Adventure Group, Shenlong Adventure Group, Luffy and others, he was rescued.

Next, he finally avoided death and survived successfully.

However, the result of the effort was Whitebeard's sacrifice.

Although everyone else was comforting Ace and saying that Whitebeard's death was not directly related to him, Ace had always been worried about this matter.

And as time passed, he gradually realized that regretting and distressing now was of no use. Only by reviving his spirit and inheriting Whitebeard's will could he be worthy of his spirit in heaven.

Whitebeard's biggest wish during his lifetime was to form a big family and bring everyone together to live happily.

Ace also has a wish, that is, he hopes to reunite with Luffy, Sabo and the three of them, roaming all over the world, smiling proudly, just like the dreams they made when they were children.

However, his brother Luffy was currently fighting a bloody battle on Skull Island, which was full of hardships and dangers. How could he bear to see this scene? Ace now wished he could put a pair of wings on his back and fly over to help the battle.

Fei, however, red-haired Shanks did not agree with his approach.

"Ace, at this juncture, you must not be impulsive or reckless."

Shanks patted Ace's shoulder and patiently persuaded him to calm the other man's excited emotions.

As one of the four emperors, the red-haired Shanks is not actually top-notch in strength. He does not have Devil Fruit abilities. He possesses overlord-colored domineering and swordsmanship, and he did not break an arm.

Before, his swordsmanship could be said to be on par with Hawkeye Mihawk.

However, since he lost an arm while rescuing Luffy in the Windmill Village in the East China Sea, Shanks' swordsmanship has been greatly reduced, and his overall strength has also declined.

But even so, he is still able to sit firmly on the throne of one of the Four Emperors. In fact, in the final analysis, his team has strong cohesion. Of course, his resourcefulness is also very advanced, and he can navigate complex situations.

Under the circumstances, he also calmly judges and analyzes. In this ability, he is definitely better than Ace.

Moreover, he is very knowledgeable about balance.

Shanks can deeply understand that the reason why the New World has been able to compete with each other for so many years is because of mutual checks and balances.

Prior to this, forces such as Kaijun Headquarters, Shichibukai and the Four Emperors also competed with each other and maintained a relatively stable situation like an iron triangle.

However, since Malinfando started the war, the Shichibukai has been completely destroyed, and the Kaijun headquarters has also been greatly reduced in strength, severely damaged, and will no longer be the glorious scene it once was.

On the contrary, the foundation of the Four Emperors and others was still stable and they did not suffer any big impact.

Therefore, if we want to maintain balance now, it will be a dispute between the four emperors.

When he arrived here, red-haired Shanks had already prepared for the worst, that is, Charlotte Lingling and Blackbeard might temporarily form an alliance.

In this case, if you want to deal with them, Shanks must join forces with Li Xiao. However, now there is another Haijun headquarters, so the situation has become very complicated.

For now, the effective way is to stand still and form a potential threat, thereby deterring Blackbeard and Charlotte Lingling so that they dare not act rashly and watch the battle from the side. This is what Li Xiao

The greatest support from Luffy and others!

However, Ace was a little impulsive and fiery when things happened, so he couldn't clearly see the situation on the field. At this time, the more calm red-haired Shanks was needed to point out.

"Does this really work?"

After hearing this, Ace didn't even frown slightly. He couldn't help turning his head and asked, with a hint of deep concern in his words.

"Don't worry, although I'm not Luffy's relative, I care and protect him as much as you and Sabo do!"

Facing Ace's doubts, Shanks showed a soft smile and said meaningfully.

Then, he touched the already empty sleeve of his left arm, and memories of the past emerged in his mind.

The missing arm was the left arm that Shanks had broken off when he saved Luffy from the Neptunes in Windmill Village.

The explanation given by Shanks was that he bet that arm on the new world, and at the same time it was blocking Luffy's body.

He had foreseen that Luffy possessed immense energy, and perhaps he could change the entire new world. Therefore, Shanks placed infinite hope on Luffy, so what?

Maybe watch something happen to him?

After listening to Shanks' words, Ace looked slightly stunned. After a while, he finally came to his senses, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. It seemed that he gradually understood Shanks' behavior.

I understood the purpose of doing it, so I no longer objected.

Then, his burning gaze was cast on Skull Island not far away.

Although he decided to follow Shanks's advice, if there was really an emergency over there, Ace would go there alone regardless of the other party's obstruction. No matter what, he would not let anything happen to Luffy and Li Xiao! Ace's

His eyes glowed with fiery energy, he clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart.

…

…

On the other side, as the focus of everyone's attention, Li Xiao and Akainu were still confronting each other. A strong murderous intention was brewing in the air around them, as if they were about to become tense at any time.

"Li Xiao, I will never let you off lightly!"

Akainu gritted his teeth, his eyes bursting with viciousness, and said in a cold tone.

In his opinion, Li Xiao was like a thorn in his side. If he was not removed, he would never be able to live in peace.

Therefore, no matter what, he must eradicate the opponent.

After hearing this, Li Xiao couldn't help but shrugged his shoulders, raised the corners of his mouth, and said jokingly: "I have to say, you are good at speaking harshly, but I personally prefer to use strength.

You see, everything else is nonsense!"

As soon as these words came out, Akainu was about to explode, his face was distorted due to excessive anger.

"I want you and Skull Island behind you to be buried here forever!"

Akainu's legs tightened into a lunge, and then, the huge iron fist hit the ground hard. The entire ground was dented, forming cracks, spreading in all directions, and

At the same time, with the help of the huge rebound force, he suddenly jumped up and reached the mid-air.

At the same time, his arm had also turned into lava, and blazing and scorching rolling flames were already attached to his arm. The magma was surging endlessly, and flames were rising into the sky.

Because it was so hot, even the air was distorted by it, and the smell of black smoke and burnt smell filled the air, which was enough to show how amazing his momentum was.

"Big fire-breathing!"

Then, Akainu lightly scolded, and a huge fist transformed from lava suddenly appeared in the air. From a long distance away, it turned into a fist amidst the sharp and whistling sound of breaking through the air.

Like a burning comet, it blasted forward through the air!

Seeing this situation, Li Xiao showed no fear on his face, and even smiled lightly. At the same time, he stretched out his hands, palms facing each other, and slowly shrank them around his waist, forming a

The shape of the calyx.

Immediately, along with the buzzing and roaring sound, an energy ball suddenly appeared in the middle of his palms, and as time passed, it kept jumping and flickering, and finally condensed into an energy ball the size of a football, radiating out

The light emitted illuminated the sky, seeming to contain majestic power.

"Three points of return to vitality!"

Seeing that Akainu's big fire breath was about to come towards him.

Li Xiao took a deep breath, and after accumulating strength, a condensed shock wave beam containing sacred power suddenly shot out through the air, and bombarded forward with the help of a long flame.

The two energies of the giant lava fist and the three-point returning vitality exploded in the air as soon as they touched each other, setting off a shocking wave of air that spread out in all directions like a world-destroying storm.

The vegetation and gravel were crushed into pieces and fluttered in the wind. From time to time, there was a dense sound of breaking through the air. Being affected by this huge shock wave, even the entire Skeleton Island was shaking faintly, and even the surroundings were shaking.

The sea water is boiling rapidly, the water is splashing, and the scene is shocking.

There were also many marines and soldiers who were severely injured. They flew upside down amidst the screams and wailings of pain. They all looked very miserable.

"The fighting power of these two people is too terrifying."

"That's right, and after Li Xiao's breakthrough, every move he makes becomes more powerful. It seems that he can generate huge power with just a single movement of his hands and feet."

"I want to escape from here right now, otherwise if I am affected, I will die without knowing it."

"That's right, it's really scary here. Not only do you have to take huge risks, but you also have to be careful not to get involved in the storm caused by Li Xiao and Akainu when they fight."

"Now I can confirm that if Akainu is really angered, he will be as fierce as a mad dog. Now I finally understand why, when facing Akainu, even the five old stars must

I’m a little scared, so that’s how it is.”

"Li Xiao is not weak at all. Look, he can actually float in the air in the violent airflow and remain motionless. It is obvious that both his combat effectiveness and defense are at the top level.
