Chapter 344: Redheaded Shanks

Yeruashi has already decided the approximate route of the trip.

This island is located at the beginning of the first half of the Grand Line, so he was swimming first to the Sabaody Archipelago, and then go to the New World and get to the back of Reverse Mountain.

It will be a trip around the world.

As to whether it would be the same as becoming the Pirate King?

Yeruashi wasn't interested in this title, he just wanted to see which of the many directions the future would flow in.

Of course, there are a number of places he wants to visit, such as Sky Island, Fishman Island and.... Navy Headquarters, as well as the Holy Land of Marijoa.

How could you not want to go to those places, once in the world of One Piece?

...

Yeruashi brought to life not only many things and parts of the ship, but also the seawater beneath it, turning it into a huge water elemental.

With the support of the living water, the ship sailed at a fairly high speed.

They sailed through two islands in less than half a month, approaching the middle of the first half of the Grand Line.

In that time.

Large waves appeared on the surface of the sea around the ship, and the sky darkened abruptly, covered with a great many clouds, among which arcs of lightning intertwined.

But Robin and Yeruashi continued to sit on the couch and chair, calmly reading books and seemingly oblivious to the impending storm.

In the cabin.

Yeruashi turned the last page of the book and closed it gently after reading the last line.

The title on the cover was Divine Spirit System.

"Well written."

Yeruashi thoughtfully evaluated the book, sending it back to the shelf with a gentle wave of his hand, after which another book rose from the shelf and fell gently into his hand.

Robin closed the book as well and thought about it, as if she was still immersed in the world of the book.

In a few seconds.

She put the book back on the shelf and spoke to Yeruashi, looking out the window with concern, "It looks like a big storm is coming, won't we have any trouble?"

"Ah... nothing will happen, you don't have to worry so much about the storm."

Yeruashi waved his hand in a relaxed manner, as if it was something insignificant.

Robin sighed and said, "I'll go cook."

Yeruashi nodded and smiled as he watched Robin leave.

In fact, he is not a fan of loli, just as they grow up, girls mostly become greedy predators, hungry for his body, and begin to resort to a variety of radical means, so Yeruashi really liked the cute behavior of girls when they were younger.

After Robin left, Yeruashi turned his head to look at the sky outside, and a golden glow shone in his eyes, in which a small clock could vaguely be seen.

"Huh?"

Initially, he wanted to look into the future to see how far this storm could grow, but the result surprised Yeruashi greatly.

It wasn't about the storm itself, but what would happen next.

...

About ten kilometers away from Yeruashi's ship.

A ship of a rather large size floated on the waves.

Suddenly, a pirate symbol in the shape of a skull was visible on its sail, with two crossed cutlasses behind the skull.

Perhaps not many people are familiar with this flag now, but ten years later it will undergo some changes: three red stripes will appear on the upper right side of the skull, similar to scars.

At that time...

Whoever sees this flag in the expanse of the sea will cry out in horror the name of this pirate team: the Redhead Pirates!

"Hey, Captain, at this rate, this storm is going to engulf us."

Yasopp, pulling on some sail ropes, looked down and shouted.

At the moment, Shanks is only in his early twenties.

He recently put together a crew in East Blue and hasn't even crossed half of the first half of the Grand Line, but he's already got a bounty of several hundred million bellie, and all because he was a cabin boy on the Pirate King's ship!

"Da-ha-ha-ha-ha, don't worry about such small things."

Shanks took the helm and laughed, showing no signs of panic.

To Shanks, as a man who had been on the Pirate King's ship and had seen the entire Grand Line, it really was a small thing, in the New World, the second half of the Grand Line, lightning can start to strike from the sky even without clouds and rain.

"But the storm is getting stronger and stronger."

Beckman grabbed his cloak, which was blown away by a strong gust of wind, and turned to Shanks, "Our ship is not capable of withstanding such a storm and may capsize, we must change course as quickly as possible! Shanks!!!"

Shanks took the helm and was about to say something.

But at that moment, Jasopp, who was at the mast, looked around the sea and noticed a small boat in the middle of the huge waves.

"Captain, a ship is on the horizon!"

"The ship is much smaller than ours, they probably won't last long."

Beckman took a cigarette, already soaked from the rain, and said thoughtfully, looking at the ship in the distance.

Shanks shook his head as he looked at Yeruashi's ship, "They've sailed much deeper, it won't be easy to help them."

The current situation did not worry Shanks, he was confident he could handle these waves, but if he got even closer to the epicenter of the storm, it would become problematic and his boat might capsize.

"Let's take care of ourselves first, Captain!"

One of the crew members exclaimed loudly.

Shanks looked at Beckman, "Give the signal, if they change course and follow us, there may be a chance of getting out of the eye of the storm!"

"Uh, well..."

Beckman sighed a little helplessly, but didn't object.

He pulled out a special pistol and launched a signal bomb into the sky.

Auge!

The bomb exploded loudly in the sky, turning into fireworks.

At the same time.

Yeruashi, who had just gotten out of the cabin and onto the deck, looked at the signal bomb that had exploded in the sky, and the Redheaded Pirate ship sailing in the middle of the raging sea.

"Signal..."

"Offer to follow them?"

Yeruashi chuckled as he watched the fireworks in the sky and gave the order with his chin raised, "Follow that ship!"

"Aye captain!"

The sails, rudder and other parts of the ship exclaimed in unison.

As the storm changed course, it began to intensify and lightning increasingly illuminated the dark sky.

The already violent storm became even more chaotic and dangerous, as if the water around it was gradually boiling.

It seemed that the ship could capsize at any moment and break apart with huge waves.

The two ships gradually began to converge, in the midst of a raging storm.
