"Wo~Wa!!!"
As Wang Shi's voice slowly faded away.
A deafening cheer erupted in an instant!!
The roar of over a million people shook the clouds and caused the waves to surge...
This is a hundred times louder than when Gol D. Pirate King Roger, shouted "ONE PIECE: The One Piece!"
"Your Majesty! I love you!!"
"Long live Your Majesty!!"
"Your Majesty, you will always be our hero!!"
···
Countless citizens cheered enthusiastically, and some teenagers shouted until their faces turned red and their veins bulged, determined to overwhelm those around them with their shouts.
To prove that I shouted the loudest, to prove that I admired Wang Shi the most.
Some girls even fainted from screaming, making them ten or a hundred times more fanatical than celebrity worshippers.
At this moment, a continuous barrage of cannon fire erupted from the defensive cannons of the Goa Imperial Palace, scattering confetti and ribbons across the sky, bringing the atmosphere to its peak.
The voices of the million subjects grew even more fervent, with countless people excitedly waving Goa flags and posters and titles of support from various Baron.
"The glory of the empire belongs to us! And even more so to every citizen!!"
"Imperial glory, with you all!"
Wang Shi raised a Goa Empire flag, roared to the sky, and his voice, accompanied by Conqueror's Haki, resounded throughout the Goa Imperial City and the entire coastal waters.
"Wo~Wa!!!"
"Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!!"
Countless fanatical citizens roared hysterically in response to their heroic emperor.
The cheers continued unabated, refusing to subside for a long time...
···
In a CP branch in Goa Imperial City.
"To be honest, I'm a little jealous of Wang Shi's popularity~"
When Shamrock looked at the Wang Shi was worshipped and cheered by countless people, his tone was a little sour, and he even had a little desire to take his place and descend before millions of ants as a god.
"Playing with people's hearts!"
Gunko spoke coldly, his heterochromatic eyes, as still as a deep well, seemingly devoid of human emotion.
"..."
Shanks clenched his fists, staring intently at the domineering yet eerie dragon beneath Wang Shi's feet, his gaze shifting between light and shadow, his thoughts unreadable.
Finally, his gaze fell upon a beautiful figure perched atop the high walls of the palace.
Uta had no idea that her adoptive father was watching her.
At this moment, she was deeply captivated by the deafening cheers and deeply attracted by Wang Shi's domineering demeanor.
Her large eyes held a look of adoration, as if she were seeing an idol.
This world-renowned diva, loved by countless people around the globe, now has her own idol.
Handsome! Powerful! Wise! Just! Mighty! Loving the people!...
This is simply the perfect hero in a utopian world!
On the other side of the Goa Imperial City.
Several mysterious figures dressed in green robes stood behind the frenzied crowd.
"So handsome~"
East Army Commander Bello Belo Betty looked at Wang Shi's figure, his eyes flickering, and his heart skipped a beat.
"What a stunning welcome ceremony!!"
Ivankov danced wildly, unable to believe that this man, who had appeared so cold and ruthless in Impel Down, was so beloved by the people.
"Eva, move aside, you're blocking my view!"
Bello Belo Betty shoved away the dancing Ivankov, just as Roger had shoved Gloriosa to go see the most beautiful Shakky.
"Don't hold back your domineering Haki, the divine dragon of the Wang Shi is extremely strange!"
Dragon reminded everyone that he had noticed the aura of this divine dragon was very similar to that of the strange Demon Sword in Wang Shi's hand.
He suspected that the divine dragon was the strange Demon Sword!
"Belo Betty was simply attracted to Wang Shi!"
Union Army Commander Karasu Karasu, looking at Bello Belo Betty who was practically drooling, coldly made a sarcastic remark.
"The Emperor and his Martial Merit Idol Group of the Goa Empire are even more popular than the Pirate Empress and the Kuja Pirates."
Confederate General Lindbergh took a deep breath and recovered from the shock.
"Forty years ago, the Kuja Pirates were a world-famous girl group!"
"Even more famous than the Kuja Pirates led by the current Pirate Empress."
The West Army Commander Morley, a giant who had lived longer, spoke very gently, his movements somewhat hesitant.
He wasn't interested in those women; instead, he greatly admired Wang Shi.
After all, deep down, he's surrounded by adorable girls.
"..."
Dragon was speechless. He was just reminding everyone not to be influenced by the strange dragon of the Wang Shi. Why did he have to turn the topic to such trivial matters as who is more popular and idol groups?
But Belo Betty, were you really not influenced by the Wang Shi?
Why do my eyes and the area around me seem to be filled with pink hearts?
···
In the New Town of Mt. Colubo, near the Foosha Village.
A group of old men were on the roof of the tavern at Dadan's House, each holding a pair of binoculars.
"Shakky, this Wang Shi is even more popular than you were back then?"
Granny Nyon Gloriosa continued to hold up her binoculars, staring intently at the handsome figure atop the dragon's head, even licking her lips involuntarily.
This is even more Haki than Roger was back in the day!
Back in the day, Gloriosa and Shakky were the two beauties of the Kuja Pirates, and they had countless enthusiastic fans around the world.
However, when Gloriosa thought about Shakky, the first mate, received a hundred times more fan letters than she, the captain, did.
Even now, when Gloriosa thinks back on it, she still feels a little jealous.
Most importantly, the entire Roger Pirates liked Shakky.
Even Roger, Gloriosa's favorite, also liked Shakky, which made Gloriosa feel heartbroken.
Shakky eventually lived happily ever after with Rayleigh, the man she loved. Nourished by love, Shakky, now 62 years old, still has a head of black hair and elastic skin.
Charlotte Linlin, who was also a world-class beauty back then, was only 4 years older than Shakky, but now at 66, she has become a fat and old woman.
Gloriosa herself was in an even worse situation.
After Roger's death, Gloriosa, who lost her crush, not only became old and ugly, but also shrunk drastically, turning into a little old woman.
Fortunately, that wretched woman, Buckingham Stussy, shrank even more than her.
Gloriosa could only feel less withdrawn by comparing herself to Miss Bakkin.
···
"You were actually peeping at Wang Shi?! You old hag!"
"Don't forget, we came here for Shiki and Benn Beckman!"
Gaban was truly fed up with that old woman, Gloriosa.
Even at a time like this, I still have the mood to look at handsome young men.
However, back then, the gold, silver, and bronze team were all famously handsome.
This Wang Shi does indeed have some of their former handsomeness, tsk tsk...
"Can we really redeem Benn Beckman and the others from Wang Shi?"
Yasopp, a man from the East Blue, was feeling very down. Looking at the Wang Shi who was loved by all the people, he felt a strange feeling in his heart for some reason.
His hometown, Syrup Village, was located in the Moonlight Kingdom, which has long since become the Moonlight Province of the Goa Empire.
In fact, he is now considered a citizen of the Goa Empire.
If I joined Wang Shi's forces, I might immediately become Marquess or Duke...
"The captain said he would rescue Benn Beckman and the others..."
In fact, Limejuice believed more that Shanks could redeem Shanks from Wang Shi, since Wang Shi would never give face to pirates like them.
Could it be that Fist Garp's grumpy face is the key!?
