Achieving Nothing, I Can Only Be the Pirate King-Chapter 589 - 347: Escape

The appearance of the light pillar made not only Shanks’ face change, but everyone on the ship looked grim.

Beckman fired a shot at the descending light pillar, and the bullet infused with Haki knocked off the outer layer of wind and thunder light, but couldn’t break the gun blade concealed within the wind and thunder.

Similarly wielding a gun blade of wind and thunder, faster even than a thunderbolt, with unmatched penetrating power, it was about to strike down almost like an instant teleportation.

Boom!

At that moment, Beckman reversed the gun barrel and fiercely smashed the butt of the gun against it.

Upon contact, Beckman’s hands noticeably numbed; he clenched his teeth, forcefully lifting his hands, only then knocking away what still appeared to others as a light pillar.

Crackle!

Despite this, the power emanating from this light pillar made Beckman smack his tongue and his expression grew somber.

At the moment of contact, it felt equal to the Haki used during the attack of that natural disaster, its strength not weakened in the slightest, even with added wind and thunder power.

Even using externalized Haki couldn’t avoid the assault of wind and thunder; the body went numb in that instant.

This is just the first one...

Having just knocked away one light pillar, Beckman looked at the other incoming light pillars in a split second and tightened his grip on the gun barrel again.

Such power, he can still withstand it!

"Beckman!"

Just as he was about to continue the attack, a figure leapt out from nearby, bringing forth a glow from a blade.

"Got it, port side!"

Beckman shouted loudly.

Instructing the helmsman to turn the wheel, steering the Red Fos.

Shanks raised Gryphon with one hand, amidst the near-instantaneous flood of light pillars, the blade surged with red thunder, and swung upward.

As the blade swung, it didn’t unleash a Haki Slash but tore open the air leaving a deep fissure, under the aura of Supreme King, like a red thunder sky enveloping the ship.

Boom boom boom boom!

The light pillars in the sky struck the sky curtain, splattering streaks of wind, thunder, and electric flowers.

The light pillars like waterfalls, the red curtain like a stone wall, they poured down, lights flying!

[Four Emperors], Pirate Emperor, stood atop the countless strong from the New World and overlords like fish crossing a river; none were weak.

Kaido traversed the sea with the physique of a Mythical Beast, strong combat skills, and the strongest individual strength.

Charlotte Linlin used her Soul Power to manipulate nature, and her steel-like physique qualities to create a country.

Edward Newgate dominated the seas with the world’s greatest destructive power and a family reputed as the strongest.

Shanks wielded the top-notch physique and swordsmanship refined enough to rival the World’s Number One Great Sword Master.

The use of Supreme King, whether to screen others’ Observation or using it to intimidate enemies, or applying it in attacks, as one of the [Four Emperors], he is the pinnacle.

Whether it’s by brute force or normal swinging.

With enough volume, technique can lead to qualitative change!

Rumble...

The seawater at various places on the sea surface burgeoned into huge waves, and under these waves, the agile Red Fos maneuvered to lean outward along the waves, using some unknown piloting skill to slide along the waves, suddenly rushing out far.

No matter how the light pillar strikes, they couldn’t get close under the red sky curtain, and even the whirlpool gradually forming on the sea surface was perfectly evaded by the Red Fos, always moving far away, escaping the area where the light pillars descended.

"Whew..."

Shanks swung the blade, letting the tip face the deck, gazing at the area shrouded in black and red light ahead, even though drenched by wind and rain, sweat still dripped, deeply panting.

The expenditure of this swing was not trivial.

"We escaped," Shanks smiled.

"What’s with this guy?!"

Beckman looked ahead seriously, "That amount of Haki is completely abnormal."

Such an exaggerated amount of Haki, even stronger than Shanks, yet why is the Haki strength not very high.

"As if Haki could rapidly recover, that... huh?"

As he said this, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "Not very likely."

"Maybe that’s just how it is, there are too many special people in the world, hahaha, almost got unlucky this time."

Shanks turned around, letting the aftermath of the strong wind blow his black cloak, smiling at the crew:

"Crew, let’s retreat, for now, this is all we can do, it’s not a time for a decisive battle!"

His words initially brought silence to the ship, the atmosphere seemed somewhat oppressive.

But soon laughter erupted.

"Oh! Boss lost, hahahaha!"

"That natural disaster became famous this time, even forced the boss to retreat!"

"Hey, such power is really strong, that disaster is indeed worthy to fight Kaido and Big Mom, can’t be underestimated!"

"Hahahaha, boss, are you willing to retreat like this!"

Red Hair laughed heartily: "There’s no unwillingness, we are Pirates, not some honorable Knights; losing is normal, this time we just retreated early, plan failed, so... we retreated!"

For the Red Hair Pirates, this level of ’failure’ is nothing at all.

Because they are Pirates, the ship is fine, the people are fine... if retreating isn’t okay, then it’s not suitable for being a Pirate.

Amid the merry laughter, the Red Fos headed towards the nine affiliated Pirate crews that had retreated far before the battle began, gathering together to sail away.

Just then, the light pillars cloaking a region gradually weakened, thinning and disappearing, revealing the sullen sky and equally wild storm.

Boom!

Thunder flashed again in the clouds, but no longer was it black and red, turning into normal lightning.

Under the light of lightning were numerous whirlpools appearing in the seawater, continuously swirling inward, unable to be filled despite the sea water’s attempts, causing the sea within this area to become roaring waves, continuously pounding, even causing the surroundings to shake incessantly.

The area around this place seemed to have a sudden tsunami.

Above, electric flash and thunder rumbled, middle, wind and rain stormed, below, tsunami whirlpools spun...

It had turned into a hazardous area where no one should enter.

And at this place, Sage, riding the black clouds, gradually lost the luster in his incandescence flame-like hair, reverting to normal hair, and scattered down.

His body resumed its form.

"Phew!"

He exhaled deeply, releasing a white arrow outward, gazing from atop, at the distant, escaping Red Fos.

That gaze met Shanks’ eyes on the deck from a distance, seemingly noticing each other.

Sage sneered, "Just like your Captain, running away, but unlike, I wasn’t swallowed by the storm!"
