And Shanks...
He openly stated that he would help Sakaki summon Saint Lord, this demon lord!
What is he thinking?
Doesn't he know that what he's doing is ultimate evil?
After Sakaki left, Shanks faced Mihawk's questioning and said with a wry smile, "A demon lord will definitely descend seventeen years from now. If
"In this situation... using evil to defeat evil, I don't think that is evil."
Mihawk frowned. He didn't quite understand Shanks' approach, but frankly, he didn't even know why a demon lord would descend seventeen years from now.
The disaster that occurred in Wano Country in the past, although it has spread with the opening of Wano Country to the outside world, the specific events of the final battle could not have been spread.
They only knew that the final battle involved the Pirate King Roger, The Black Order Fleet Admiral Makima, and Wano Country's great swordsman Himura Kenshin, and that they finally defeated the evil demon Kozuki Oden.
But they didn't know what exactly happened in that final battle.
So, of course, they couldn't know the prophecy that Makima said at that time, nor did they know that the demon who possessed Kozuki Oden would definitely return, and that the time was seventeen years from now.
If people knew that a demon lord would definitely descend in the future, who knows how much panic it would cause.
The destruction caused by Aatrox in the past was truly unforgettable. The blood on the Ait Wall sea area has not dried to this day. The sea has remained red for so many years. That is all human blood, and it is the ruins that best represent the terror of a demon lord.
Now, that sea area has even been developed into a tourist attraction, a tourist attraction that awakens the fear in people's hearts.
Shanks began from the beginning, talking about the Wano Country incident. When he spoke of the prophecy left by Makima in the end, he said
"My captain didn't understand Makima's approach at first, but now, I understand it a little."
Mihawk asked, "What do you understand?"
"Since we know that the matter will definitely happen, then why not let him be under our control?" Shanks slowly raised his head, looking at the blazing sun. The sunlight shone down, as if trying to melt the ice on his crew members.
He said, "Makima knew that Tunfo would definitely secretly plan a plan to bring back the demon lord, so she took the initiative to put the demon lord's return location and time all in her hands. My conversation with Sakaki just now is the same principle."
"Before, there was only Little Demon Dragon. His strength was insufficient, and his threat was far less than Tunfo's. Therefore, even though he has wanted to summon Saint Lord for so many years, he has not been regarded as a huge threat by all parties. But now Sakaki has reappeared. Sakaki's strength, plus Little Demon Dragon, the two of them are a threat no less than Tunfo."
"If the two of them are planning in the dark, who knows when they will let Saint Lord descend? So, why can't Saint Lord's return become known? And... we can also use them to deal with Tunfo. Although this is very risky, it is indeed the only way."
What Makima said to Roger in the past had a great impact on Shanks. He believed that Makima's words made sense. Bringing the enemy from the dark to the open may speed up their success, but it is less of a threat than if they act in secret.
Mihawk crossed his arms. He didn't quite agree with Shanks' idea, but he didn't say much, because this was Shanks' own choice. Although his choice may make all of humanity bear the price, it is better than not being able to think of a way to let things develop.
"I hope you can understand that the choice you made may cause who knows how many people to die." Mihawk said slowly, "Let's skip the wine today. When we have a chance in the future, let's drink after we finish today's competition."
After experiencing the Sakaki incident, Mihawk was no longer in the mood to drink. He left Shanks' ship directly.
Shanks' expression was even more bitter, but he didn't say anything. He also knew that his idea would definitely not be recognized by others, but...
He really didn't just have the purpose of letting Sakaki help them deal with Kozuki Oden.
Their understanding of demons is really too little, which is deadly to humans.
It's not that there are no people among humans who understand demons, such as Makima, such as Aquina of the Back, who are all people who came from that era, but they have never made the information about demons public, which makes other forces always suffer when facing demons.
Information...
Is very important.
Shanks believes that after cooperating with Sakaki, he can get a lot of information about demons from them.
As for the clues to summon Saint Lord...
Shanks wasn't lying either.
He does have clues.
This clue was actually left to him by Captain Roger.
The crew members were frozen, waiting for time to naturally melt the ice. Mihawk and Sakaki had also left. Shanks sighed, sat next to the frozen crew member, and took out a box.
A box?
That's right, it was the box that the Roger Pirates found in the ruins in the past, which recorded information about demons.
However, neither Roger nor Mumei could find more information from the box afterward. It wasn't until the Roger Pirates disbanded that Shanks left with the box that he discovered the secrets contained in the box.
As Shanks' power poured into the treasure box, the treasure box suddenly underwent a change, as if machinery was being reassembled. On one side of the octahedron, the side representing 'fire' emitted light.
Then, the light shot out and reflected on the deck, revealing a huge...
Dragon!
A coiled dragon statue!
There were twelve gaps in this dragon statue, and Shanks knew that the direction pointed by this light had Shikon Jewel fragments that could fill these gaps.
The Shikon Jewel fragment that was previously mentioned to Mirror was actually a location pointed to by this treasure box.
And there are a total of twelve such Shikon Jewel fragments, which are the fragments containing Saint Lord's soul. As long as the twelve soul fragments of Saint Lord are found, and this statue is found, and the fragments are fused with the statue, the strong gravity generated from the present world can attract Saint Lord from hell.
At that time, this demon lord Saint Lord, who represents fire, will come to the human world.
This is the confidence that Shanks will use to trade with Sakaki next. As long as they still want to summon Saint Lord, then they cannot refuse him!
