One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 169 Desperate Red-Haired Shanks

At this moment, on the island of Serbia, the battle between the Red-Haired Pirates and the Shadow Legion is gradually coming to a conclusion.

Under the leadership of Puppet Number Four, the pirate crew under the command of the Red-Haired Pirates' executives appeared surprisingly vulnerable.

On the battlefield, shouts of battle and screams of agony mingled together as the Shadow Legion swept in like a surging tide, and the pirates under the Red-Haired Pirates fell one after another under this fierce offensive.

As time went by, all the pirates under the Red-Haired Pirates had perished on this bloody battlefield, and now only relatively strong members such as Yasopp were still struggling to hold on.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and the pungent stench of blood was almost nauseating. Everywhere was filled with an atmosphere of despair, the despair of the Red-Haired Pirates facing a hopeless situation.

In fact, from the moment this war began, the outcome seemed to have been predetermined.

Facing an opponent of overwhelming strength, the Red-Haired Pirates seemed to be trapped in an inescapable web of death, doomed to perish.

In the center of the battlefield, Minos stood quietly, a flash of red light in his eyes, and the situation of various battlefields on the Serbian island instantly came into his view.

The situation on the battlefield was exactly as he had expected. The "king against king, general against general" situation seemed balanced, but he had an overwhelming advantage.

With a mid-level puppet general and five skilled puppet generals, the Shadow Legion would find it difficult to lose.

The Shadow Legion originally had more than 5,000 Shadow Soldiers. Now, with the help of these powerful puppets, dealing with the Red-Haired Pirates on this battlefield would be as easy as killing chickens.

Watching all this, Minos's lips curled up slightly, a smug smile appearing on his face.

Initially, he planned to keep Puppet No. 1, Puppet No. 2, and Puppet No. 3 on standby, ready to catch the Red-Haired Pirates off guard at a crucial moment.

However, judging from the current situation, such worries are obviously unnecessary. Once Puppet No. 4 has cleared out the pirates under the Red-Haired Pirates, the next target will be Rayleigh and his crew.

Upon thinking of Rayleigh, Minos's gaze instantly turned icy cold.

The fact that that old man Rayleigh managed to escape from him in the Sabaody Archipelago has been a thorn in his side ever since.

Now that this old guy dares to come to my door, then don't blame me for being impolite. I'm going to send Rayleigh and that stupid woman Shakky to hell together.

Meanwhile, Shanks was anxiously using his Observation Haki to sense every movement on the battlefield.

However, the battle situation that came into his perception made his heart clench, and a huge fear surged into his heart.

Not far away, Beckman was being brutally beaten by a dark purple, demonic figure. Each attack caused Beckman to spit out blood, and he was swaying precariously, clearly on the verge of collapse.

Meanwhile, Rayleigh was tightly bound by Puppet Number Five and unable to break free, so he couldn't lend a helping hand to the others.

Hawkeye's battlefield situation was also not optimistic. The Shadow General was very powerful and fought Hawkeye to a standstill, with the outcome uncertain for a time.

Most fatally, the pirate crew led by Yasopp and others has been swept away by the Shadow Legion.

To be precise, they were utterly defeated by a puppet with the strength of Puppet Number Five, who was on par with Puppet Number Five and led five puppets with the strength of quasi-generals.

Now, Yasopp and his group are in grave danger, and could be mercilessly killed by Puppet Number Four at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Shanks' eyes instantly turned red, filled with despair.

He knew very well that once Yasopp and the others fell, the Shadow Legion and those powerful puppets would have no qualms about intervening.

At that time, they will inevitably be besieged and trapped, and death will be all that awaits them.

Thinking of this, Shanks' eyes widened in fury, his face contorted with rage as he roared at Minos, who was grinning maliciously: "Minos, you bastard, you will surely die a horrible death! One day, you too will be surrounded and killed, just like you are now!"

At that moment, Minos was watching with great interest the massacre of Yasopp and the others, feeling extremely pleased. Unexpectedly, Shanks, the red-haired man, seemed to have suddenly gone mad, hurling insults at him for no apparent reason. (Curse)

"Tsk, what a lack of manners." Minos thought to himself with disdain, slightly raising his head and glancing indifferently at Shanks.

In that instant, Minos saw Shanks, the red-haired man, possessed by a demon, roaring madly at him, his appearance almost insane. In that instant, Minos understood.

"Hmph, I suppose that redhead is simply unable to bear their current crushing defeat."

Minos sneered inwardly. Losers are always like this, habitually using wailing and unfounded accusations to cover up their incompetence and embarrassment.

Minos curled his lips into a mocking smile and sneered at Shanks, who was going berserk in Capcom, "If you hadn't come looking for trouble, you could have lived for another three to five years."

After saying that, he threw his head back and burst into loud laughter, the laughter echoing freely in the air, full of undisguised mockery and unbridled pleasure.

Minos's original plan was to target the Beasts Pirates, but Shanks actually walked right into his trap and came to his death.

Since that's the case, then we can't blame him; we can only send the red-haired guy to that endless hell.

The laughter subsided, and Minos's gaze turned icy as he stared directly at Shanks, speaking slowly and deliberately: "Shanks, no need for further words, prepare to die!"

Before he finished speaking, Minos's aura suddenly erupted, and an incomparably powerful aura spread wildly outwards from him.

At the same time, a dense, dark purple magical energy swept across the entire battlefield like a surging tide, enveloping everything in a strange and dangerous atmosphere.

Minos gripped the demonic sword tightly with his right hand. In an instant, dark purple magic, like nimble lightning, coiled around the dark red demonic sword.

In the blink of an eye, the original dark red blade was completely transformed by this terrifying dragon-slaying magic, turning into a black-purple energy blade exuding a terrifying aura.

At the same time, dark purple lightning, like nimble snakes, leaped and flashed around the blade, spreading wildly in all directions.

The dark purple energy lightning appeared dazzling and captivating, yet it seemed like a death warrant from hell, each bolt carrying endless danger of death.

Minos's gaze was piercing, fixed on Shanks, and he uttered in a low, cold voice: "Second Form, Purple Serpent!"

With that roar, he swung his longsword, crackling with black and purple lightning, with all his might towards Shanks's location.
