On a certain stretch of sea not far from Marine Headquarters…

The flagship of the Red-Haired Pirates, the Red Force, was stationed here!!

As the reward was distributed, Shanks suddenly felt a searing pain in his left arm!!!

It was as though some ultimate, fiery essence was furiously burning at the stump where his arm had been severed!!!

"Ugh..."

Despite the excruciating pain, Shanks gritted his teeth and tried not to make a sound.

But how could the youngest of the Four Emperors embarrass himself in front of his crew?

"Boss!!"

"Shanks!!"

"Captain!!!"

The surrounding officers turned their attention toward Shanks just in time to see his agonized reaction!

They desperately wanted to rush over and check on him, but under the constraints of the viewing system, they couldn’t move violently. Their actions were limited to small, sluggish movements, like they were caught in a slow-motion wave...

"Don’t worry, I’m fine!!"

Shanks’s brows were tightly knitted, but his words reassured everyone that there was no need to panic.

He could distinctly feel the cells at the stump of his left arm rapidly regenerating!!! Each newly formed cell brimmed with intense flame energy and life force!!!

In the next moment, a fiery light illuminated the entire sea area!!!

The clouds in the sky were dyed a blazing orange!

To the astonishment of the Red-Haired Pirates’ officers, Shanks’s left arm was visibly regenerating and repairing itself at an incredible speed!!!

When the flames finally subsided, a blazing, fiery arm appeared on Shanks’s body!!

Through the fading firelight, everyone could clearly see a vivid Fire Kirin pattern etched onto the arm!!!

The chatroom erupted with activity:

Gol D. Roger: "Little Shanks, do you now have three arms?"

Shanks: "... Captain, my left arm was severed ten years ago. Now that I’ve received the Kirin Arm, I still only have two..."

Gol D. Roger: "Ah~ That’s too bad! If you had three arms, your strength would reach new heights!"

Kozuki Oden: "Hahaha! Roger, I think two arms suit him better—three would look strange!"

Kaido: "Shanks, is that Kirin Arm really as amazing as it sounds? How does its defense compare to mine?"

Shanks: "We’ll have to test it to find out! But... this Kirin Arm is overflowing with power, and it can even produce Kirin Flames. I feel like I’ve gotten a free Mera Mera no Mi~"

Dracule Mihawk: "After the Marineford War, Shanks, come find me on Karikari Island. You now have the qualifications to spar with me again."

Shanks: "Haha! No problem! But I feel like with my left hand wielding a sword, I can beat you into a dog~~~"

Onigashima Spider: "Impervious to heat and cold, indestructible against blades and bullets... Is this Kirin Arm really that exaggerated???"

Borsalino: "Troublesome… A Yonko-level pirate gaining something like this is truly headache-inducing..."

Sengoku: "Don’t overthink it. The viewing continues! As long as we get chances to answer questions, the Marines will surely receive rewards too!"

Shiki: "With your rotten luck, you won’t get anything! Once I’m revived, I’ll tear down Marine Headquarters and settle the score for that one arrow!"

Sengoku: "Shut up! I don’t have time to waste words with a dead man!!"

The video continued playing…

[Day after day, Luffy trained tirelessly from dawn till dusk.]

[Two years later, Luffy was now nine years old.]

[In the mountains, Luffy was training his Observation Haki while being surrounded by a hundred wild beasts.]

[Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of dominance radiated from Luffy, spreading throughout the forest in an instant!!!]

[All the beasts present immediately collapsed, legs flailing, foaming at the mouths, and convulsing uncontrollably...]

[Some even defecated and urinated simultaneously—it was a horrifying sight...]

Holy crap!!!

Seeing this scene, the strong ones in the chatroom felt their scalps tingle...

Dobberman: "That’s... Co... Conqueror’s Haki???!!!"

Kuzan: "No need to doubt it—that’s definitely Conqueror’s Haki!!!"

Tsuru: "Garp, your grandson truly lives up to expectations! Awakening Conqueror’s Haki at age nine is an extremely rare talent even in the New World!"

Monkey D. Garp: "Stop talking! The more you say, the worse I feel!!! Compared to that Red-Luffy, I increasingly feel like my eldest grandson is nothing but trash..."

Monkey D. Luffy: "(⊙o⊙)…"

Nico Robin: "Hehe, Grandpa Garp strikes again with his harsh criticism~"

Roronoa Zoro: "So we’re adventuring under the leadership of trash...?"

Franky: "Hahaha! Stop it, it’s too painful. Hmm, super~~~!"

Charlotte Katakuri: "This kid’s talent really is insane..."

Marco: "Both Straw Hats likely share the same potential. It’s just that the other Luffy dedicated all his time to training, which is why he awakened Conqueror’s Haki early. In theory, this Luffy must also have royal potential—he just hasn’t awakened it yet."

Monkey D. Luffy: "Eh? Can I awaken Conqueror’s Haki too?"

Monkey D. Garp: "You idiot! How dare you ask that! The other Luffy awakened Conqueror’s Haki at nine! And you? You haven’t awakened it yet—aren’t you ashamed?!?"

Boa Hancock: "Grandpa, stop scolding Luffy-kun. Luffy-kun has already awakened Conqueror’s Haki—I can vouch for it!"

Back when Luffy was on Amazon Lily Island, seeing Marguerite and the others’ lives threatened in a dire situation caused him to unconsciously awaken his Conqueror’s Haki!

Though Luffy didn’t understand what had happened, Hancock did.

Now, seeing Luffy criticized by his grandfather, she couldn’t bear it and quickly stepped in to defend him.

Monkey D. Garp: "Shut up! Don’t call me ‘Grandpa’ so casually! Your relationship with Luffy is none of my business—don’t drag me into it!"

Thinking about how Luffy had completely wasted his potential infuriated Garp beyond measure!!!

Damn it, Luffy’s current state was utterly ruined!!!

Garp now wished he could dive into the red-framed screen and switch places with the other Garp on the other side~

Meanwhile, the Luffy in the video continued training…

[Day after day, year after year…]

[Another five years passed in the blink of an eye…]

[Luffy was now fourteen!]

[Two months after Ace set sail, Luffy followed suit and embarked on his own journey!]

At this point, the glowing red-framed screen dimmed, signaling the end of the scene.
