Chapter 115 Kidd Challenges Red Hair (Ch 115)

On an island somewhere, Kidd was holding the latest issue of a newspaper and said unhappily, “Has the Whitebeard Pirates’ territory been officially taken over by Durant? The Four Emperors…”
“Humph! Durant has been in the spotlight lately. We have to speed up, Kira. The next island we’re heading to will be the Red Hair Pirates’ territory.”
“Yes, this is currently the nearest island to the sea where the Red Hair Pirates are located.” Kira responded while sitting aside and drinking.
Kidd picked up the bottle and drank it in big gulps. After he finished, he said, “Boys, are you ready? We are going to seize the throne of the Four Emperors.”
“Boss Kidd!”
“Boss Kidd!”
Dozens of pirates in the Kidd Pirates were very excited. After their boss Kidd successfully seized the throne of the Four Emperors, they would be members of the Four Emperors Pirates. Just thinking about it made them excited.
“Everyone, be quiet. Boss Kid has something to say.” Killer shouted to the noisy pirate brothers.
Hearing Kira’s shout, the pirates quieted down and looked at Kidd who was standing on a high place.
Kidd looked at the pirate brothers below and said loudly: “Little ones, we will enter the territory of the Red Hair Pirates next. This is a difficult battle, but as long as we unite as one, we will be able to defeat them and seize the throne of the Four Emperors.”
After hearing this, the pirate brothers cheered and expressed their willingness to follow Kidd to fight.
Kidd smiled with satisfaction and continued, “Although the Red Hair Pirates are powerful, we are not pushovers. We have firm beliefs and courage, and we will definitely win.”
The cheers of the pirate brothers rose one after another, one wave higher than the other, as if they were going to overturn the entire sea. Their enthusiasm was like a burning flame, hot and strong.
However, compared to the lively pirates, the three leaders of the Kidd Pirates seemed relatively calm.
It was the number two figure, Kira, and two cadres, Hit and Vaye.
Hitt shouted excitedly: “Listen everyone, we are about to have a fierce battle with the Four Emperors Red Hair Pirates. This is a great opportunity for us to become famous and dominate the world!”
Waye on the side also echoed excitedly: “That’s right! We have absolute trust in Boss Kidd and firmly believe that he will definitely ascend to the throne of Pirate King!”
“Yes!” Killer responded immediately: “Along the way, all those who looked down on Boss Kidd’s potential to become the Pirate King were killed by Boss Kidd without exception. Therefore, Boss Kidd will definitely become the Pirate King!”
At this time, Kidd stood up suddenly, raised his arms high, and roared: “Guys, let’s go! Those old four emperors should have stepped down long ago!”
Following Kidd’s order, the Kidd Pirates quickly set sail and headed at full speed towards the sea where the Red Hair Pirates were.
Kidd was full of confidence in the upcoming fierce battle with the Red Hair Pirates. He thought to himself, if Durant could become one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, why couldn’t he?
He wants to prove to the world through practical actions that he not only has the ambition to become one of the Four Emperors, but also has the strength to match it.
He wants to use his actions to tell the world that he is the king who can reach the top, the overlord who can dominate this ocean!
At the same time, the Red Hair Pirates were holding a grand and joyful banquet on an island. The long table was filled with delicious food and wine, and the music and laughter were intertwined. The atmosphere was so warm that it seemed to light up the entire island.
At this moment, a pirate from the Red Hair Pirates came running over in a hurry. He had an anxious look on his face, like an ant on a hot pot. He reported to Red Hair Shanks loudly, “Boss, we detected a pirate ship heading towards our territory. The other party is the Kidd Pirates, one of the supernovas.”
Upon hearing this news, the Red Hair Pirates’ leaders stopped what they were doing, and the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became tense, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them. They put down their wine glasses together and focused their eyes on the Red Hair, like a group of hungry wolves staring at their prey.
Jesus Bu carried a sniper rifle, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a serious tone: “This generation of supernovas seems to be evaluated as the most evil generation!”
Officer Bendik Snake stood up and asked, “Why don’t you let me handle it! Although he is a newcomer, if we let him rush into our territory so recklessly, it might be misunderstood by the outside world, and people might think that the Red Hair Pirates can intrude into their territory at will.”
The cadre Hongo also stepped forward and said with a smile: “I’ll go with you! It’s a good opportunity to learn from these so-called newcomers and see how capable they are.”
The red-haired man looked at the scene in front of him, smiled confidently, and nodded in agreement. Then, Bendik Snake and Hongo were ready to take action.
The deputy captain, Ben Beckman, was like an elegant gentleman. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, turned on the lighter skillfully, lit the cigarette butt, and took a deep breath. He exhaled the smoke and looked at the sea in the distance, his eyes firm and calm, like a calm lion.
“In that case, the two of you come with me to intercept the Kidd Pirates. I haven’t exercised for a long time, and it’s time to warm up my body to avoid rusting.” He said in a calm tone, as if giving an order that could not be questioned.
“Hahaha~~” Red-haired Shanks laughed heartily upon hearing this, his eyes sparkling with excitement, like two bright stars. “With our vice-captain in person, this matter will be foolproof. We can continue to drink in peace!”
“The boss is absolutely right! Our deputy captain is extremely capable, there will be absolutely no problem!” Lakilu echoed while eating the barbecue in his hand. His voice was like a huge bell, echoing in the air.
Red-haired Shanks’ expression gradually became serious. He looked at Beckman and said solemnly: “Beckman, everything is left to you.” His eyes were full of trust and expectation, as if Beckman was his closest comrade-in-arms.
“Yes!” Beckman nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. He turned around and led Hongo and Bendik Snake onto a small boat, heading towards the Kidd Pirates. His back was firm and upright, like an unshakable mountain.
Their figures gradually went farther and farther, disappearing into the vast ocean. Red-haired Shanks looked at the direction they left, his heart full of trust and expectation. He knew that as long as Beckman was there, any difficulties would be solved.
Red-haired Shanks and the remaining cadres continued to hold banquets and drink, and psychologically, they did not take the so-called supernova Kidd Pirates seriously at all.
They felt that these newcomers were just youngsters just starting out and were not worth mentioning at all.
On a small island, Beckman and his two companions finally met the Kidd Pirates.
Kidd raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an arrogant smile, and said, “Where is your captain, Red-haired Shanks?” His eyes were full of provocation and disdain, as if declaring his invincibility to the world.
Hongo looked at the arrogant Kidd in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: “The newcomers nowadays are really arrogant!” However, he was not surprised at all. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, arrogant people often pay the price, and usually die miserably.
Kidd continued arrogantly: “Just three people! I want to let Red-Haired Shanks know how powerful our Kidd Pirate Group is.” His words were full of confidence, as if he was the master of this sea.
As Kidd gave the order, the pirates behind him responded one after another. Among them, Kira, Hit, and Vaye were the first to rush out, holding weapons and rushing towards Beckman and the other two with murderous intent. They were so aggressive that they seemed like three ferocious beasts, ready to tear the enemy into pieces.
Beckman’s eyes were cold. He calmly lit a cigarette for himself and said slowly, “Let me take care of these people! There’s no need for the three of us to deal with a group of newcomers together.”
After saying that, he took a deep puff of cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, his eyes were cold and firm, as if declaring his determination.
Hongo and Bendik Sneak looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They were confident in Beckman’s ability and believed that he could easily handle the situation.
As soon as he finished speaking, Beckman disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the leaders of the Kidd Pirates.
He just kicked up and kicked Vaye, a cadre of Kidd Pirates, hard, kicking him away like a ball.
At the same time, his palm tightly grasped another cadre Hitt like an iron clamp, and slammed him to the ground, as if he was smashing a ripe watermelon, making a dull sound.
Kira was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, watching everything in front of him in disbelief. The other party’s move was so fast that he didn’t even have time to react.
Kidd’s face also became extremely gloomy, he stared at Beckman with wide eyes. The man’s movements just now were so fast that Kidd could only see a flashing shadow and it was difficult to catch his movements.
He couldn’t believe how huge the gap between himself and the other party was.
The pirates of Kidd’s Pirate Group were also frightened. They were all stunned and stood there at a loss as to what to do.
The originally noisy battlefield suddenly became silent. Everyone’s eyes were focused on Beckman, and a deep fear surged in their hearts.
Kira saw that the situation was not good, and thought to himself that it was not good. He hurriedly tried to distance himself, but it was too late. Beckman was as fast as lightning and was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Beckman exuded an extremely terrifying armed color domineering aura, and the black aura was like a burning flame, which made people shudder.
Beckman raised his knee and hit Kira’s stomach hard. “Ah!” Kira screamed in pain and almost vomited the food he had eaten yesterday. The power of this blow was so great that Kira felt as if his body was about to fall apart.
Kira stared at Beckman with his eyes wide open in disbelief. He could never have imagined that this man who was not the captain of the Four Emperors Pirate Group actually possessed such terrifying strength! At this moment, Kira’s heart was filled with doubts and fear.
This scene instantly reminded Kira of the time when he faced Admiral Kizaru of the Navy Headquarters in the Sabaody Archipelago. At that time, he also felt deeply powerless and unable to resist Kizaru’s attack. Now, facing Beckman, this feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart again, making him almost desperate.
However, Beckman did not give Kira a chance to breathe. He raised his left leg and kicked Kira again, sending him flying far away.
“Kira! Damn bastard, die!” Seeing his companions injured, Kidd was furious. He directly activated the power of the magnetic fruit, constantly attracting all weapons, swords, guns and other items in the surrounding area, forming a powerful metal storm.
Bendik Snake said with a smile: “Hongo, our vice-captain’s strength is very close to that of the boss. These newcomers are not strong enough to beat Beckman.”
“Yes! Even if the general from the Navy Headquarters comes, Vice Captain Beckman is fully capable of handling it alone.” Hongo also responded with a smile.
His words revealed his confidence in the ability of Vice Captain Beckman.
After Kidd formed two giant mechanical arms, he roared, “You three guys, go to hell!”
Along with his roar, the two giant mechanical arms slapped towards Beckman and the other two at an extremely fast speed, causing a whistling sound and a huge momentum.
However, facing this seemingly powerful attack, Beckman seemed unusually calm. He slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealed a disdainful smile, and said softly: “Fancy attack, flashy, without any real attack power, just a paper tiger! Newcomer.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura burst out from Beckman’s body. His arms flashed with black light, and he had obviously used Armament Haki. Then, he gently waved his arms and used the powerful Armament Haki to deflect the two mechanical arms that came over.
With two loud bangs, the two giant mechanical arms were easily bounced away by Beckman. After rolling several times in the air, they fell heavily to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
Beckman’s eyes were like cold stars, cold and sharp, as if they could penetrate everything. His smile was like a devil, full of ridicule and disdain, which made people shudder.
