Transmigrated into One Piece world with a Gift Pack
Chapter 80 - Red-Haired Shanks

A week passed since Blaize arrived at Foosha Village.

He stays in the village most of the time but at night he would return to his Marine ship to rest. In the daytime, his unit roams the sea around Dawn Island under his orders. ​​

He wants to know the next minute Shanks enters the territory of Dawn Island. He can simply wait in Foosha village for him to arrive but he can't fight Shanks here, it will only lead to destruction.

In this one week, he befriended the people in the village like Mayor Woop Slap, Makino, Luffy, and others.

Especially Luffy, the kid is too naughty, rebellious, and had no respect for others. Mostly, it's Makino and Woop Slap taking care of him.

Both Blaize and Luffy sat in Makino's bar chatting. Makino gave Luffy milk while Blaize enjoyed his wine. The six-year-old Luffy asked. "Blaize-u, you said you are a bounty hunter, right?"

"You can think so," Blaize responded.

"I am going to become a pirate in the future. If you try to catch me, I will defeat you with my punch that's as fast as a pistol." Luffy balled his tiny fist and showed a punching action.

"Oh!" Blaize looked at Luffy and simply flicked his forehead with Haki, causing him to groan in pain. "Ahhh! it hurts. How can a flick hurt so much?"

"You are thousand years too early to talk about defeating me, grow up first." Blaize snickered and gulped the remaining bottle of wine.

Observing their quarrel, Makino laughed.

Blaize learned one thing after interacting with Luffy for a week. His dreams of becoming a pirate didn't arise from Shanks, it was there in his heart but Shanks losing the arm for him seems to be the trigger.

At that moment, Blaize's Den Den Mushi suddenly rang disrupting his thoughts. He noticed the call is from Regis. Picking it up, he heard the latter's voice,

"Blaize-san, it's the pirate ship you wanted me to watch out for. Their Jolly Roger is the same as what you described; skull with a pair of crossed swords behind it and scarred left eye socket.

I can also see the Red-haired shanks in the deck along with his other members. Without a doubt, they are the Infamous Red-haired Pirates." Regis reported.

"Where are you right now?" Blaize asked, rising to his feet.

"10 Km to the north of Foosha Village."

"I am coming, don't engage them," Blaize said and ended the call.

--

On the other side,

Regis smiled bitterly. 'I won't dare to attack them!'

He knew very well about the Red-haired pirates, even though they are mostly low-key, there are times their names also resound throughout the world.

At the same time, Red-Haired pirates also noticed the Marine ship in the distance.

"Boss, should I take care of them?" Lucky Roux asked, biting a large chunk of meat.

"Leave them. They are just ordinary marines, they pose no threat to us. Besides, they aren't even attacking us after seeing the pirate flag." Shanks responded, waving his hands.

"It seems like someone on the ship recognizes our Jolly Roger!" Benn Beckman spoke, inhaling his cigarette.

"Hahaha! Our name reached even to the East Blue, the peaceful of the four seas." Yasopp laughed.

Foosha Village,

"I will see you later," Saying this, Blaize's body flickered as he utilized his soru. The next moment, his figure disappeared and reappeared outside of Makino's bar.

Makino and Luffy couldn't even react before Blaize disappeared again. Luffy's eye shone awed by Blaize's speed. "Oh! So cool! Makino, did you see? Blaize just vanished!"

"Yes,"

Blaize zoomed through the air towards the location with incredible speed. He was excited just thinking of meeting Shanks while his fighting intent soared to the sky.

The Shanks of now shouldn't be as strong as he was when he becomes an Emperor. He only becomes a Yonko around 1518.

Right now, his strength should be between the level of Yonko Commander and Admiral. It may also be the reason why he decided to take a break and made East Blue his base for over a year.

He needs time to train and improve his Haki level. But, all of these are just Blaize's guess.

Shanks and Dracule Mihawk duels were said to echo through the whole Grand Line, even before he came to East Blue. Meaning, he was already very strong.

How strong is Shanks now really? Blaize doesn't know. He can only tell after fighting him personally!

It didn't take long for Blaize to cover the 10 km distance, in a matter of seconds he arrived at the location. As soon as he spotted the Red-haired pirate ship, his Haki burst out.

On the ship, Shanks's crew immediately went into full alert sensing the powerful Haki. Shanks stepped in front of his crew and waved his hand, "You guys, get back. He's strong!"

Shanks looked the same as he was shown during the start of the series; Tall as Blaize standing close to two meters, with distinct red hair, tan complexion, and a secondary trademark: scar mark over his left eye.

He wore Roger's straw hat and decked in a simple white shirt and blue shorts while his orange waist sash held a green-hilted saber.

Sensing Blaize's fighting spirit and Haki, his hands rested on the tilt of his sword. Ready to unsheathe at any moment.

--

'Shanks!' Blaize's eyes shone. Torrents of air gusted out in every direction as Blaize's conqueror's Haki exploded. It was like his willpower triggers with his fighting spirit.

A new discovery! It can be used to control his conqueror's Haki.

Blaize didn't waste his time trying to strike a conversation, he simply clenched his fist and punched. It was a sheer punch made of physical strength and nothing more.

But it had to be noted Blaize's constitution broke past the '50' bar limit. So, his punch caused the air around him to shatter and boomed towards the Red-Haired pirate ship.

Shanks unsheathed his sword and slashed at the incoming attack. His blade shot a half-moon-shaped arc made of sharp wind current.

'Boom!'

At the moment both the forces collided, the space around them began to tremble while the sea below them parted by the sheer force of the impact.

The attacks did not immediately dissipate as both their conquerors haki took charge and clashed in mid-air; trying to win over the other.

The clash of kings!

The resulting force altered the shape of the surrounding area as visible cracks appeared in the air. Blaize's willpower took the form of golden sparks while Shanks Haki looked fiery red.

Regis and Rosinante observing the fight from a fair distance were pushed back while other marine soldiers on board were completely knocked unconscious.

On Shanks's side, his crew was able to hold the ground unaffected by the willpower as if they experienced the Haoshoku Haki countless times before.
