Shaya, Who Should Be the Movie King

Regardless, the shock on the ship—Garp aboard the warship and Roger on the island—after they detected each other with Observation Haki was immense.

Shaya sat calmly on a four-wheeled cart (a plain carriage, much like Zhuge Liang's), gently waving a feather fan in his hand. Behind him stood his dedicated multi-functional tool—Stussy—responsible for wiping his sweat, massaging, pushing the cart, warming his bed, and serving as his RBQ.

"Vice Admiral Garp and Stussy will accompany me onto the island. Everyone else stays here and waits."

"I want to stretch my legs on the island. I don't want any of you following."

Seated on the four-wheeled cart, Shaya addressed the crowd of World Government agents and Navy soldiers behind him, issuing his command.

"Huh? Your Highness Saint Shaya, we cannot allow you to go to the island with just Vice Admiral Garp and your personal maid Stussy—only three of you!"

"This unfamiliar island is very dangerous. You have no idea how unruly these savages raised in such harsh lands can be..."

"Yes! Yes! Even though Vice Admiral Garp is strong, he doesn't follow orders! If some fool suddenly attacks you, who will take the bullet for us if we're not there?!"

As Shaya's words fell, the faces of the World Government agents all changed. They looked at Shaya and began to dissuade him one after another.

In the eyes of these government agents, Shaya taking Stussy and Garp onto the island was hardly different from him going alone...

"Oh? Are you questioning this young master's orders?"

Shaya frowned slightly at this and barked.

"No! No! No! We wouldn't dare, it's just..."

The World Government agents, seeing Shaya flare up, immediately changed expressions. They waved their hands at Shaya while explaining.

"Since you don't dare, then obediently follow this young master's orders!"

"Otherwise, watch out—I might send you all to Holy Land Mary Geoise as slaves."

Shaya glared at these World Government agents and said coldly.

It had to be said, Shaya was truly playing the part of a lawless, spoiled Celestial Dragon to perfection.

Honestly, when Shaya first realized he was a transmigrator and had just awakened his past-life memories, he was always afraid that one wrong expression would expose him...

But now, even if the Five Elders saw Shaya, they would pat him on the shoulder and say, "Shaya, you need to tone it down a bit!"

"We obey!"

Though the agents were still worried about Shaya's safety, since he insisted, they had no good options!

After all, a Celestial Dragon's orders were absolute. Even if that Celestial Dragon was determined to court death, they, as World Government agents, could only die alongside him!

That was their mission...

"Good that you understand..."

Shaya said, then gave a slight nod to Stussy behind him and Garp beside him, signaling that they could now head into the island.

"Creak, creak, creak..."

And so, accompanied by the creaking sound of wheels grinding against the ground, Stussy, Shaya, and Garp entered the island directly.

"Shaya, did you know something from the start?"

Garp followed behind Shaya and asked him tentatively.

"Know what?"

Hearing Garp's voice, Shaya didn't turn to look at him. Instead, he sat serenely and calmly on the four-wheeled cart, leaning back against Stussy's soft bosom as she pushed him. Half-closing his eyes to enjoy the soft sensation, he asked Garp beside him.

"I mean, about Roger being on this island!"

"It seems I've underestimated the World Government's intelligence network..."

Garp lowered his voice and asked Shaya quietly.

Though Garp thought his voice was low, it couldn't escape the ears of a top agent like Stussy...

"Huh?! That legendary Pirate King Roger is really on this island?"

As Garp's words fell...

Before Shaya could speak, Stussy's expression changed first.

Whether the World Government actually knew the whereabouts of Pirate King Roger—few people in the entire Holy Land knew better than Stussy, a member of CP0...

As for Shaya's earlier claim to Garp that the World Government had already found Roger's location, that was all a lie to fool others. The World Government had no idea where Roger was—that was the truth.

These lies could fool others, but they couldn't fool their own people...

Yet now, Garp was saying that Shaya had actually found Roger?

For a moment, Stussy thought of many things...

From whether Shaya had some intelligence network she didn't know about...

To whether the Celestial Dragons had other, nearly unknown, independent intelligence agents separate from the government departments—agents even she, as a CP0 member, knew little about...

One thought after another ran through Stussy's mind.

Then, Stussy recalled what Shaya had once said to her...

Stussy remembered that Shaya had claimed to be omniscient and omnipotent.

"Could it be that Young Master Shaya really can know anything in this world he wants to?! Is there truly something special about the Celestial Dragons that we ordinary people don't understand?"

Stussy looked at Shaya with doubt, speaking to herself in her heart.

"What? That Pirate King Roger is actually on this island?"

But just as Stussy began to suspect Shaya...

The boy sitting on the four-wheeled cart suddenly spoke with extreme shock.

"What? Could it be that Shaya doesn't know either?!"

"Was it really just a blind stroke of luck?"

As Shaya's words fell, both Stussy and Garp were taken aback.

Then, they both thought—no matter how you looked at it, Shaya was just a kid of ten-something years old! What depth could he have, what could he possibly know?!

Though Stussy still harbored some suspicion that Shaya might possess unknown abilities, the thick-headed Garp had already set aside his doubts and misgivings.

To be precise, Garp didn't care about any of that...

"Looks like it was just a coincidence..."

Garp muttered to himself, then turned his sharp gaze toward the distance.

"But no matter the reason..."

"Whether it's coincidence or your World Government really has some intel!"

"That bastard Roger is definitely on this island right now!"

"Let this old man take that bastard Roger down!"

"This time, he won't escape..."

The moment Garp's words ended, he shot forward like a cannonball, straight toward a certain spot on the island! At that moment, Garp radiated Conqueror's Haki, his fighting spirit blazing.

"So fast..."

Stussy's pupils trembled sharply as she watched Garp vanish.

There was no denying it—Garp's strength was overwhelming, crushing hers!

If Garp wanted to make a move against her, she would have absolutely no power to resist.

"Young Master Shaya, since Roger really is on this island, we should report to the World Government at once and have them dispatch warships!"

"For now, we'd better leave this island quickly..."

"After all, given the threat Pirate King Roger poses to the world, the World Government will likely send ten, or even over a hundred warships to surround the entire island and launch a Buster Call! Staying here will be very dangerous..."

Stussy said to Shaya in a low voice.

"Roger's on this island? Who said that?"

Shaya asked in return after hearing Stussy's words.

"Huh? Naturally, Garp..."

Stussy's expression froze in surprise as she answered.

"Did you see him?"

Shaya pressed on, not giving Stussy time to overthink.

"Well... no, I didn't..."

Stussy admitted honestly.

"Since you didn't see him, how can you be sure Roger's really on the island?"

Shaya's tone carried a hint of meaning as he spoke.

"This..."

Stussy was stunned, left speechless by Shaya's question.

"Then we..."

After a long pause, Stussy looked at Shaya, at a loss.

"Follow him!"

Shaya answered plainly.

"Huh?"

Stussy hadn't expected Shaya to actually intend to follow Garp and meet Roger!

After all, that was the infamous Pirate King—going over there was truly dangerous! If the Pirate King went berserk, she had no confidence she could stop him...

"Who do you think I am? Push the cart over there!"

Shaya put on the face of a boat-king, speaking to Stussy in a low, firm tone.

"As... as you command."

Stussy had no choice but to push Shaya onward, continuing in the direction Garp had gone.

"Heh."

But in the brief moment Shaya turned around, leaning back into Stussy's softness and reclining, the fierce and savage expression on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by silence and the glint of wisdom in his eyes.

If Shaya's ability to switch expressions so freely were seen in his past life, it would have shocked Yimou no fewer than eight hundred times. His acting was simply too strong—he deserved to be called the Movie King.
