How Many People in the World Want to Enslave Him

"Hahaha~"

"The Golden Emperor is just a minor figure, why the fuss?"

"That guy Koryu is a disgrace, getting killed by a pirate with a bounty of 123 million. As a fleet captain, he's an embarrassment to our status."

"Trakka, the Golden Emperor's bounty is now 567 million."

"567 million? Is that a lot?"

"Alright, enough arguing!"

The entire banquet hall was noisy. A fierce voice suddenly boomed from the third row. A hideous woman with a centipede-like scar on her face, a plump build, and a height of seven meters, glared at everyone with narrowed, cold eyes, instantly silencing the clamoring crowd.

Captain of the 3rd Fleet, Empress Kehila, Paramecia-type, Bone-Bone Fruit ability user, with a bounty of 1.61 billion.

Despite her fierce and ugly appearance, her combat power ranked third among the 20 fleet captains of the Flying Pirates.

There were two empty seats in front of Kehila.

It was likely the seats of the 1st Fleet Captain Predator Axios and the 2nd Fleet Captain Narwhal King Rubit, as the banquet seating was arranged by rank.

"Gulp! Gulp!"

Kehila picked up her wine bowl, drained it in one go, and exhaled.

How crude!

"I'll capture the Golden Emperor myself."

While Kehila appeared crude and fierce on the surface, she wasn't a mindless fool.

She knew what the Golden Lion wanted.

The Golden Emperor's ability was very important to them; anyone with a brain could see that.

"It's just one Golden Emperor, you don't need to mobilize yourself!"

From the fifth seat, Charming Idol Groot spoke up.

He was a man with smooth, golden hair, dressed in noble attire, exceptionally handsome and refined.

One could hardly tell he was a notorious pirate with a bounty of 1.556 billion.

"The Golden Emperor is quite handsome, and I am worthy of him!"

From the 11th seat, a woman with flowing, colorful hair, wearing a short jacket and shorts, propped up her perfect face with one hand, her bright eyes blinking. Her cherry-like lips curved into a lazy smile, making her look like a captivating demoness.

Consort Jessica, Captain of the 11th Fleet, was a veritable beauty pirate.

Her bounty was 1.193 billion, and she was a Paramecia-type, Bubble-Bubble Fruit ability user.

Her catchphrase: "I."

Despite her beauty, her personality was extremely unrestrained and ruthless.

She had a penchant for handsome men, and after a night of passion, all the men would be killed.

The Flying Pirates had a total of 20 fleet captains, and there were five female pirates among them.

Captain of the 3rd Fleet: Empress Kehila.

Captain of the 8th Fleet: Black Widow Eliza.

Captain of the 9th Fleet: Jelly Queen Annie.

Captain of the 10th Fleet: Witch Roria.

Captain of the 11th Fleet: Consort Jessica.

Captain of the 12th Fleet: Cruel Queen Christos.

From this ranking, it was clear that these six female pirates were among the higher-ranked members of the Flying Pirates.

They belonged to the upper-middle tier.

However, only four of them were present in the hall right now!

"Jiehahahaha~"

"No need to argue, the Golden Emperor will be yours, Spand. You have ten days. I want to see the Golden Emperor here, and remember, alive!"

The Golden Lion took a puff of his cigar, exhaled the smoke, and looked at the 15th Fleet Captain, Lone Wolf Spand.

"Yes, Admiral!"

Spand, who had only one eye, stood up, downed the strong liquor in his bowl in one gulp, and strode out of the hall. In his opinion, capturing the Golden Emperor was a piece of cake.

Grand Line, a snowy island.

In a town's tavern, a man in a dark green cloak, whose face was obscured, sat in a corner.

He was reading a newspaper.

"Golden Emperor, Gold-Gold Fruit!"

A hint of excitement could be heard in his self-talk. Under the dim light, one could inadvertently see that the man had no eyebrows, giving him a somewhat fierce appearance.

A slight breeze stirred the newspaper, and the next second, the man vanished.

At almost the same moment, many people around the world were holding newspapers.

As for the protagonist, Chaos, he was currently in the mangrove area of Sabaody Archipelago, number 66.

The area from 66 to 69 had a Marine garrison and government entry points.

It was considered the most peaceful and safe area in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Yet, Chaos was now on the rooftop of a tavern, lounging casually in a chair, drinking coffee and reading a newspaper.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

So after escaping last time, Chaos had carefully changed direction and returned to the Sabaody Archipelago. Fortunately, Garp didn't take him seriously at all; as soon as the warship's coating was done, he was eager to head to Fish-Man Island to pursue the Roger Pirates.

Upon closer inspection, Chaos's complexion was still a bit pale, clearly not yet recovered from his injuries.

"When did I ever say I wanted to take the Golden Lion's head?"

"567 million, very reasonable!"

Chaos looked at the newspaper in his hand, the news reported inside made him curl his lips.

He felt a strong sense of malice!

The Marines' malice towards him.

Not only did they dig up all his information, but they were also setting him up for a fall.

He knew without a doubt that many people were now targeting him.

Something about how controlling the Golden Emperor would make one the richest person in the world.

And taking the Golden Lion's head.

No matter how you looked at it, this news was designed to attract hatred; the Marines were trying to use a borrowed knife to kill him!

Chaos unconsciously pinched his chin. He actually didn't dislike this kind of news.

From another perspective, he was now a hot commodity, known almost everywhere on the seas.

Fame, he definitely had.

Next, he would have to deal with all sorts of pursuits, with the difficulty mode directly escalating to hell mode.

He had, after all, embarked on the path of an emperor who was an enemy to the world.

Then let the storm come even more fiercely!

After finishing the newspaper, Chaos leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and took sips of his coffee while looking at the bustling street in the distance, his mind buzzing with various thoughts.

This brief encounter with Garp made Chaos realize the gap between himself and top-tier powerhouses.

Especially the Armament Haki used by Garp.

It almost effortlessly destroyed his attacks and defenses. Compared to the Armament Haki of the two, Chaos's was simply unbearable to look at.

"I need to improve my Haki as soon as possible, or awaken Life Return and the Gold-Gold Fruit."

Chaos felt a sense of urgency, especially now that he was almost an enemy to the entire world!

Who knew how many people worldwide wanted to enslave him.

This time, he had caused a bit too much of a stir.

He had certainly drawn attention.

And the accompanying trouble was not small.

But it was thrilling!

And exhilarating.

For the next two days, Chaos kept a very low profile, even disguising himself when he went out!

But once his injuries healed, things would be different.

He felt like he was back in top form.

Mangrove area number 5 was mainly for human trafficking shops, auction houses, and lawless zones!

A bubble car drove slowly down the street. Chaos was wearing a white shirt unbuttoned at the chest, revealing his firm and powerful eight-pack abs, and colorful beach shorts on his lower half.

He wore small golden sword earrings on both ears and had dyed his spiky hair gold.

He also wore sunglasses and held a cigar in his mouth.

At first glance, he did look somewhat different from the photo on the wanted poster.

For example, the earrings were changed from small knives to small swords, and the black spiky hair was simpler; just a slight partial Goldenization, with a slightly lighter color, was equivalent to a perm.

Sunglasses were common everywhere, and cigars were something Chaos had learned in the past two days.

In his previous life, he actually smoked, but his addiction wasn't very strong.

These past two days, he had resumed his old habit, upgrading from the regular cigarettes he smoked in his previous life to cigars.

With this appearance, he looked quite like a nouveau riche, a big shot.

His aura was top-notch!

It was vulgar.

But combined with Chaos's handsome face, his golden-ratio physique, and his arrogant, disdainful demeanor, it was no longer vulgar.
