Chapter 173 Suppressing Red Hair and Hawkeye (Ch 173)

Durant looked at Beckman with disdain and said in a cold tone: “What a stupid guy, he doesn’t even know his own weight.”

Just as Durant finished saying this, an incomparable and terrifying gravity suddenly descended on Beckman like a mountain pressing down on his head.

The force was so strong that Beckman didn’t even have time to react before he was pressed to the ground. Beckman, who was already seriously injured, became even more seriously injured under this heavy pressure and was almost unable to move.

However, despite his body being on the verge of collapse, Beckman still held his breath. No matter what, he had to buy more time for Shanks and the others. Even if it cost him his life, he would not hesitate.

Durant looked coldly at Beckman who was still struggling desperately, with a mocking smile on his face: “Are you still holding on? If so, then you can’t blame me. Soon, I will send you to hell.”

As he spoke, Durant suddenly raised his hand, quickly grabbed Beckman’s neck, and easily lifted Beckman up.

“Go to hell!” Durant roared in a low voice, and a layer of black armed color domineering was instantly covered on his palm. As he squeezed hard, Beckman’s throat made a crisp sound, and the last breath was abruptly twisted off.

Durant threw Beckman’s body to the ground beside him as if he was throwing away a worthless piece of trash.

At this time, Red-haired Shanks’ eyes widened, his face full of disbelief and despair. His heart completely collapsed, unable to accept what was happening before his eyes.

At this moment, Hawkeye Mihawk had no desire to fight anymore. He was like a defeated rooster and could only allow Durant to slaughter him mercilessly.

In the past, he always defeated his opponents with absolute advantage and played his enemies around at his fingertips.

However, now, the role has changed dramatically – he has become the object that Durant can manipulate at will.

This huge gap made Hawkeye Mihawk feel extremely frustrated and lost.

In all the long years that have passed, Hawkeye Mihawk never thought that there would be such a day.

He always believed that his strength was unmatched, but reality dealt him a heavy blow.

Faced with such a powerful Durant, he knew that it would be futile to continue fighting, so he decisively chose to give up.

Hawkeye Mihawk said to Durant with a determined look on his face: “Captain Durant, I give up. I lost this battle.” After that, he sighed deeply, as if he accepted the arrangement of fate.

Hearing this, the red-haired Shanks on the side widened his eyes with disbelief on his face.

He couldn’t believe his ears. Hawkeye Mihawk actually chose to give up at the critical moment! This sudden change caught Red-Haired Shanks off guard, and he didn’t know how to deal with it for a while.

Although he was very anxious, Red-Haired Shanks knew clearly that he could not influence Hawkeye Mihawk’s decision.

After all, the choice of the duel always lies in Hawkeye Mihawk’s hands, and Red-haired Shanks has no right to interfere with his decision-making.

Durant crossed his arms over his chest with a faint smile on his lips, looking at Hawkeye Mihawk with a playful look, seeming to be full of confidence and control over the negotiation.

“Hawkeye Mihawk, since you have chosen to resist me, you should understand that surrender is not something that can be done with just a few words!!” Durant’s voice carried an unquestionable majesty, as if everything was under his control.

Hawkeye Mihawk took a deep breath, his eyes firm and calm, and responded: “I understand. Then, Captain Durant, you can put forward any conditions, as long as I, Hawkeye Mihawk, can do it.” He was mentally prepared and willing to pay the price in exchange for freedom, but at the same time he remained vigilant.

Durant nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. He put away his arm, stretched out two fingers, and slowly said: “First, either you join the Death Pirates and become my subordinate; second, I will send you directly to hell. There are only these two choices, you decide! ! ” His tone was calm, but the murderous intent contained in it was chilling.

Hawkeye Mihawk frowned and sighed inwardly, “As expected. He knew that the other party would not let him go easily, and these two choices were undoubtedly difficult choices.”

He was silent for a moment, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said: “Captain Durant, if I choose the first path and join the Death Pirates, what kind of treatment will I receive?” He needed to know more about this organization and how they treated new members.

Durant laughed, and there was a sinister aura in his laughter: “Hahahaha… If you choose to join our Death Pirates, you will be my subordinate and must obey my orders. Of course, in return, you will have endless wealth, power and glory. But if you betray me or disobey my orders, you will bear the consequences at your own risk.”

There was an irresistible majesty in his words.

Hawkeye Mihawk was silent for a long time, thinking about his future. He knew that joining the Death Pirates meant losing his freedom, but maybe it would save his life.

However, there was always a kind of pride in his heart that made him unwilling to submit to others.

Finally, he raised his head, a determined light flashing in his eyes, and said slowly: “Captain Durant, if I join your army, can you let Shanks go? This is my only request.”

This was the final decision Hawkeye Mihawk felt he could make. After all, Shanks was his only friend, and Durant was too powerful to be defeated. So if he could get Shanks away from here safely, then he would join the Death Pirates.

“Hawkeye Mihawk, you!” When Red-Haired Shanks heard this, he was deeply moved. The relationship between them could be considered as that between enemies and friends.

“Hmph, you want to run? None of you can escape.” Durant looked at Shanks and Hawkeye Mihawk with a disdainful smile on his face.

“Captain Durant, I have agreed to join your army. Please let Shanks go.” Hawkeye Mihawk said anxiously.

“Hahahahahaha…” Durant suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter was deafening and creepy.

“Originally, I still had a little patience, but I don’t like people making conditions with me.” Durant’s voice was cold and ruthless, as if it came from hell.

Hawkeye Mihawk knew that trouble was coming. He knew Durant’s terrifying strength, so he immediately shouted: “Shanks, get out of here immediately, I will hold Durant back!”

After saying that, Hawkeye Mihawk rushed towards Durant with the black knife Night in his hand, trying to use his power to buy time for Shanks to escape.

This time, Red-Haired Shanks no longer hesitated. He turned around resolutely and started to flee the scene without hesitation.

Not only that, even his companions had no choice but to flee with Red-Haired Shanks.

At this moment, Red-Haired Shanks knew clearly that if he chose to stay, the final outcome would be death.

However, as long as he can successfully escape, he will still have the opportunity to take revenge on Durant in the future.

Red-haired Shanks made up his mind to find his true identity again.

In any case, he will be alone in the future. If he cannot regain his identity, his living space will become extremely small in this vast ocean.

Unless he chooses to remain anonymous, that is not the lifestyle that Red-Haired Shanks pursues. Red-Haired Shanks firmly believes that his companions will understand his decision.

Durant glanced at Red-haired Shanks, and as he watched him desperately flee, a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He knew very well that Red-Haired Shanks could not escape from his grasp, so he did not pay much attention to him.

After all, in his eyes, Red-Haired Shanks was just a lamb to be slaughtered and posed no threat at all.

At this time, Red-Haired Shanks was running with all his strength, his heart filled with unwillingness and anger.

He vowed to survive, even if it was just to get revenge on Durant.

He knew that only in this way could his dead companions rest in peace.

Just when Hawkeye Mihawk was about to engage in close combat, Durant suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost. This scene was completely beyond Hawkeye Mihawk’s expectations. His speed was so fast that it was difficult to see his movements and figure clearly.

Durant held the invisible barrier lightsaber in his hand and swung it violently. The powerful sword energy flashed through the space like a flash of lightning, directly breaking open the entire chest of Hawkeye Mihawk. Wherever the sword energy passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Hawkeye Mihawk’s chest was pierced, and blood gushed out instantly, staining his clothes and the surrounding ground red. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of shock and disbelief. In a short time, he was defeated and had no power to fight back.

Hawkeye Mihawk spat out a large mouthful of blood, and tried to endure the severe pain in his body to prevent himself from falling down. He stared at Durant with wide eyes, secretly marveling at his opponent’s strength.

At the same time, he also realized that although the previous attack seemed simple, it actually contained extremely terrifying power and had destructive power.

Just as Hawkeye Mihawk was trying to fight back while enduring the severe pain, Durant’s invisible barrier lightsaber was swung again.

This time, his attack was even more fierce, like a storm sweeping in. The lightsaber easily pierced through Hawkeye Mihawk’s heart, making it impossible for him to dodge.

“Why… so fast?” Hawkeye Mihawk slowly lowered his head, looking at his pierced heart, muttering to himself. His eyes gradually lost their luster, and the breath of life was quickly disappearing from him.

With Beckman’s death, Hawkeye Mihawk also fell.

Durant picked up the supreme sword, Black Knife Night, and threw it at Rain Xilu without hesitation.

Yuzhi Xilu steadily caught the supreme sword Black Blade Night thrown by Captain Durant, and after carefully examining it for a few seconds, he showed a satisfied smile and exclaimed: “It is indeed a good weapon.”

At the same time, Durant’s observation Haki continued to spread outward like ripples. One kilometer, two kilometers, three kilometers… five kilometers. When he successfully locked onto the fleeing figure of Red Hair Shanks, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

At this time, Red-Haired Shanks was running as fast as he could, without any reservation, because he knew he had to escape from here as soon as possible, otherwise even if he stayed in the New World, he would not be able to escape Durant’s pursuit.

During the escape, Red-haired Shanks always focused on using his unique skill of Observation Haki to ensure that he would not be detected by Durant’s Observation Haki. Once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

At the same time, Red-Haired Shanks is very confident in his ability to see and kill, and he firmly believes that he can block Durant’s observation Haki.

However, the next moment, Durant appeared in front of him like a ghost, which shocked Red-haired Shanks.

“This…how is this possible!” Red-haired Shanks widened his eyes, his heart full of confusion and fear.

He had run so far, but Durant was still able to lock on to him and catch up with him so quickly.

Red-haired Shanks couldn’t help but wonder, couldn’t Hawkeye Mihawk even stop it for a while?

At this moment, Red-Haired Shanks knew that the situation had become extremely difficult and he might even face the threat of death. After all, from the looks of Durant, he did not seem to be hurt at all.

Facing such an opponent, Red-Hair Shanks knew that he could not compete with him by his own strength alone and had no chance of winning.

Red-haired Shanks tightly grasped the sword in his hand, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he prayed in his heart: “I hope a miracle will happen…”

Red-haired Shanks looked at Durant firmly, held Griffin tightly in his right hand, and pulled it out violently.

Griffin flashed coldly in the air, and powerful domineering aura continued to surge out from Red-haired Shanks and quickly wrapped around Griffin.

Facing such a powerful enemy, Red-Haired Shanks knew that he might not be able to escape the fate of death, but he decided to at least leave a wound on Durant.

Therefore, he did not intend to engage in a protracted battle with Durant because he knew that he did not have enough strength to cope with such a battle.

Instead, Red-Haired Shanks prepared to go all out, gathering all his strength into one move, trying to inflict a wound on Durant.

He understood that only by doing this would he not feel too much regret when he died.

Red-haired Shanks took a deep breath and poured all the strength in his body into the Griffin in his hand without reservation.

He wanted to use this final blow to demonstrate his courage and determination.

Although he knew he would most likely fail, he was still willing to fight for it.

Red-haired Shanks’ eyes were full of determination, and he was ready to face death.

At this moment, there were no distractions in his mind, only the persistence in fighting.

He wants to compete with Durant in the most heroic way.
