----------
Akainu's magma fist slammed onto the table, melting a charred hole: "Then ban all assassins! Leave him with no heroes to use!"
"Arara~ That's useless~" Kizaru leaned back lazily in his chair, his fingertips flashing with golden light as he scrolled on his phone. "Last time when I was beaten by Katakuri from Whole Cake Island..."
He brought up a battle replay. "The opponent used this 'scoundrel lineup'."
The screen clearly showed:
-Katakuri (Liang)
-Cracker (Donghuang )
-Smoothie (Fuzi)
-Perospero (Mozi)
-Daifuku (Kui)
"I was controlled to death the whole time~" Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses. "I couldn't even press Flash~"
Aokiji's frost spread at his feet: "So tomorrow we must grab at least two hard controls."
Staff Officer Tsuru suddenly jumped in: "Latest information, the Red Hair Pirates secretly trained for five hours this afternoon." She brought up footage from a drone's hidden camera. "Beckman is practicing Shouyue hard, and Yasopp has specialized in Sun Bin."
"Damn it!" Sengoku slammed his fist on the tactical board. "They are going for a four-protect-one strategy! Shanks attracts firepower, and the others output from a distance!"
Garp chewed on a senbei, mumbling: "How about I play Zhong Kui? One hook, one little friend~"
"No!" Akainu interrupted sharply. "We must ensure the control chain is unbroken! I propose:"
"Ban Zhang Liang, Donghuang, and Fuzi"
"First pick Mozi"
"Kizaru takes Zhao Yun in the jungle position"
"Aokiji takes Wang Zhaojun in the mid lane"
"I play Bai Qi as support"
Everyone: ???? Can you play? And you're making suggestions now.
The meeting lasted until the early morning, the tactical board already filled with various arrows and traps.
Sengoku took off his glasses and rubbed his temples tiredly:
"Everyone, this is not just a game." His eyes swept over everyone. "The glory of the Marines rests on this battle!"
Kizaru stretched and walked toward the door: "Arara~ So troublesome~ I need to catch up on my beauty sleep~"
Akainu's magma erupted behind him: "Borsalino! Be serious!"
At the end of the corridor, Kizaru's sunglasses reflected the morning light: "Don't worry~" His fingertips danced with dangerous golden light. "After all... I also really want to know, which is faster, the speed of light or seeing the future~"
...
In the early morning, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Meanwhile, Red-Haired Shanks and his crew were also discussing tactics.
Red-Haired Shanks's brow furrowed slightly, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes. He looked at Kizaru's fluid movements on the projection screen, his fingers unconsciously stroking the hilt of Gryphon.
"Beckman..." he said in a low voice, with a rare seriousness. "Kizaru's speed is even more troublesome than we thought."
Beckman breathed out a smoke ring, narrowing his eyes: "Indeed. A Glint-Glint Fruit user in the jungle, that cheating level movement speed and attack speed..." He brought up the recent match replay. "Look here, he even dodged Wang Zhaojun's freeze with invincibility frames."
Yasopp leaned over, his eyes behind the sniper scope wide: "Captain, can your Observation Haki predict his movements?"
Shanks gently shook his head, his red short hair fluttering in the sea breeze: "Seeing the future isn't enough..." He smiled bitterly and held up his empty left sleeve. "And single-handed operation has its limits after all."
Just then,
Lucky Roux suddenly poked his head out of the kitchen, a chicken leg still in his mouth: "Captain! I have an idea!" His greasy fingers gestured on the screen. "Look at this Donghuang and Liang combo..."
Shanks's eyes lit up, but then he showed hesitation: "But in that case..."
Yasopp suddenly slapped his thigh: "Boss, use your foot! You still have your foot!"
The entire place fell silent instantly.
Everyone stared at Shanks's left foot.
A few black lines appeared on Shanks's forehead, but his eyes gradually became firm. He took a deep breath, suddenly placed his phone on the deck, and took off his left shoe.
"Gurarararara!" Whitebeard's loud laughter came from a distance. "Are you going perform acrobatics?"
The atmosphere inside the ship instantly became solid, everyone watching Shanks's actions in shock. This Four Emperor actually placed his phone on the table, pressed the skill buttons with his right hand, flexibly clicked the normal attack button with his left foot, and could even occasionally drink leisurely with his right hand!
"Gurarararara!" Whitebeard slapped his thigh, laughing so hard he doubled over, shaking the entire Moby Dick. "Brat! You're going to create a new school of disabled esports!"
Marco laughed so hard his blue flames flickered wildly, phoenix feathers falling all over the place: "Captain Shanks... You... Hahaha... That's too crazy..."
Vista's two swords clattered onto the deck. The elegant swordsman was now laughing so hard he couldn't stand straight: "Shanks... Your toes... are more flexible than my swords..."
Seeing this scene, Ron also had a strange expression, holding back his laughter as he kicked the drunken Morgans awake.
The News Coo, still groggy and about to curse, suddenly saw this epic scene, and all its feathers puffed up like dandelions:
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
Morgans's beak opened wide enough to fit an ostrich egg. "A Four Emperor playing Honor of Kings with his foot?! If I film this, it could support ten news agencies!"
He fumbled to adjust his phone, the camera almost shoved into Shanks's toes.
This kind of scene must be filmed properly, otherwise, it would be too unworthy of his title as the News King!
Shanks, however, calmly took a sip of wine, his left big toe performing a precise slide—Li Bai's "Bring the Wine" three-segment movement followed by his ultimate, perfectly diving the tower to kill the enemy mid laner!
"How's that?" Red Hair proudly wiggled his foot. "Back on Roger's ship, Mr. Rayleigh taught me the principle of 'the whole body is a weapon'."
Beckman covered his face and sighed: "Captain, are you sure it's not because Yasopp said last time that you were 'at a disadvantage playing games with one arm'...?"
"Uh--" Shanks blinked. "Look at this play!" His toes danced, Li Bai quickly changed equipment after stealing the dominant monster in the dragon pit, used Golden Body to dodge fatal control, the whole sequence of operations was smooth as flowing water.
Morgans had gone mad, half his feathers falling off in excitement: "Buddies! Witness history! Red-Haired Shanks creates the 'Toe Style' gameplay! If you think it'll be popular, spam 6!"
And at this moment, the live stream room was already stunned by Shanks's operation. They never expected Honor of Kings could be played like this?
The comments instantly exploded:
[I'm going to get an amputation and practice!]
[With this toe flexibility, I recommend opening a massage parlor]
[@Kizaru, learn this quickly!]
[...]
Just as everyone was laughing uncontrollably,
Jozu's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he saw something amazing. He quickly reached out and pressed down on Morgans's shaking camera:
"Wait! Look at the sole of Shanks's foot!"
