Following them were Lucky Roux, Yasopp, ship's doctor Hongo, navigator Snake, and so on...
It was as if Chu Yang had never gone too far away and had always been by their side.
Everyone was very happy and clamored to have a banquet.
The navy's forces are gathering, but no one seems to care; they appear to be completely disregarded.
The banquet was to be held in the old Wano Country.
night.
The banquet begins.
Music and the sound of grilling meat started at the same time.
Hiyori Kozuki also led the samurai and civilians to participate.
The crowd sang and danced.
In the firelight.
Shanks and Tiger got along very well and hit it off immediately. One was a person who advocated freedom, and the other was a person who brought freedom to others.
However, Shanks and Dragon did not exchange a single word; they only communicated through simple eye contact.
Everyone knows they are not on the same path and value completely different things.
When the banquet reached its most lively moment, countless sailors stood outside watching helplessly, no one daring to make a move.
Shanks sat down next to Chu Yang, with no one else around them.
The others were either drunk or dancing and acting crazy.
Shanks smiled. "From the first day you boarded the ship, I sensed your hatred for the Celestial Dragons. At that time, I had a premonition that you would end up like this."
"In this battle, if you need me, I will be your ally."
Shanks has a close relationship with the Celestial Dragons.
The Celestial Dragon King Im has a mysterious personal guard called the Knights of God.
Members of the Knights of God hold a status far above that of ordinary Celestial Dragons, and even possess the power to judge Celestial Dragons.
Because they represent Im.
The Figarand family in the Knights of Faith is the family Shanks comes from.
The current supreme commander of the Knights of God is named Figarand Galinger Saint, who looked almost exactly like Shanks when he was young.
The two have a close relationship.
This also explains why the Five Elders' attitude towards Shanks is significantly different from that towards other pirates.
However, the Five Elders are not simple either.
The five most important departments of the World Government are known as War Gods because of their power.
The "God of Finance" Izambaron V. Nassuro, who is in charge of the finance department, has the character "V" in his name and "Nass" together to form Venus, which represents Venus.
The "God of Agriculture," Sheffield X Pitt Saint, who is in charge of the agricultural department, has the character "X" in his name and "Pitt" together to form Jupiter.
Topman Vochuli Saint, the "God of Law" in charge of the legal department, is named after Mercury.
Marcus Mars Saint, the "Environmental God" who is in charge of the environmental department, has "Mars" in his name, which means Mars.
The "God of Scientific Defense," Jaigolusia Satan, who oversees the scientific defense department, has the character "Satan" in his name, which represents Saturn.
The so-called Five Old Stars refer to the five ancient planets—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—that revolve around the sun.
By associating the term "God of War" with its function, we can see that Im himself believed in "ruling the world with powerful force."
Each of the Five Elders is a user of a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, and all of them have reached the level of "Awakening".
Among the Five Elders, Jaigolusia Satan, who is in charge of the science department, has a transformed form that resembles a bull-headed, human-bodied demon.
The other people's forms are all different.
Marcus Massan's transformed form resembles Marco's phoenix.
Sheffield X Pitt's transformed appearance resembles the spirit incarnation of an old lady.
Although the specific name of the fruit is still unknown, the group of people standing together looked like demons from hell.
Im is also a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, and his transformed form resembles a giant salamander.
Given the salamander's incredible regenerative abilities, it's possible that once this Devil Fruit awakens, the host could gain near-immortality.
In this situation, if Im were to undergo the "immortality surgery" using the fruit of the surgery, he could easily achieve eternal life.
Not to mention living for 800 years, living for 8000 years would be no problem at all.
Even now, Chu Yang still cannot determine the level of combat power of the World King Im!
Of the original twenty kings, excluding Queen Lily and Im of Alabasta, there were eighteen other kings.
These eighteen people weren't fools. Without a powerful force to deter them, how could they be willing to submit to others?
After 800 years, even if the other party was a pig, he should have become Marshal Tianpeng by now.
It's certain that Im's combat strength is higher than that of the Four Emperors and Admirals.
The question is, just how high is it?
Is it even stronger than Ryoumen Sukuna, who has five times the combat power?
Im's combat strength is a mystery. Within Pangaea City, there are also powerful weapons comparable to Hades, capable of destroying a country in an instant.
After the island was destroyed, the void left behind could not be filled, and the overflowing seawater caused sea levels to rise.
If used continuously, this weapon could even flood the world!
This is why Mary Geoise was built on the Red Line.
One day in the future, if the situation gets completely out of control, Im will unleash his weapons, flood the world, and destroy the enemy.
The Knights of God are also a mystery, possibly possessing the combat power of several generals.
There are many uncertainties...
This is also why Chu Yang insisted on finding Hades.
With Hades by his side, a large part of the pressure could be relieved.
Ultimately, it was because there wasn't enough intelligence. Chu Yang had been busy researching bloodline factors and hadn't paid attention to these matters. If there had been enough intelligence, he would have already stormed the Holy Land alone.
As for Shanks' promise, Chu Yang did not respond. If Shanks had a close relationship with the Knights of God, he had no reason to drag them into this mess.
Just like Garp's dilemma during the Marineford War, on one side was the Navy's justice, and on the other side was Ace, whom he regarded as his own son.
Faced with Shanks' sincerity, Chu Yang could only shake his head and refuse, "This is my own business."
Shanks stared at him in astonishment, clearly not expecting Chu Yang to give him that answer.
"What about them?"
Shanks glanced at Dragon and Tiger.
"The Revolutionary Army was founded with the intention of overthrowing the rule of the Celestial Dragons. You know the situation of the Fish-Men without me having to explain it. Their goal has been the same as mine from the very beginning."
Chu Yang didn't look at Shanks' face, afraid of seeing a look of disappointment on his face.
The members of the Red-Haired Pirates are like family to each other; they treat each other's affairs as their own. Chu Yang's attitude will definitely disappoint and hurt them.
As expected, Shanks hesitated, looking disappointed. As the captain, he often felt the most complicated emotions when his crew said they didn't need his help.
But as Chu Yang said, this is his business, and Shanks cannot make the decision for him.
"You want to challenge the Celestial Dragons? No problem. But before that, you have to beat me first."
Shanks said firmly.
All he can do now is confirm that Chu Yang has the ability to challenge the Knights of God.
Chu Yang smiled easily and winked at Shanks, "You've been holding back for this moment, haven't you?"
"I want to see what level my Haki is at, that it can actually defeat Kaido."
"But let me tell you first, I didn't defeat Kaido entirely because of Haki, so you have to be prepared."
Shanks said confidently, "I know your swordsmanship is strong, but my swordsmanship is not bad either, so don't be intimidated!"
Chu Yang stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and walked towards the shore.
Shanks followed.
Upon seeing this, the crew members of the Red-Haired Pirates began to whisper among themselves.
What are they doing?
"I don't know, I just saw them whispering to each other."
"What did you say?"
"You dare to lean in and listen? Aren't you afraid the captain will beat you up? I certainly wouldn't!"
"This setup looks familiar."
"No way... the banquet isn't even over yet, and they've already started again?"
