Seeing the choices made by Yasopp and Limejuice...
"Well, now that Shanks has disbanded Red-Haired Shanks, you're all free. It's not bad for you to follow Uta."
Dark King Rayleigh sighed. He had originally planned to redeem the Red Hair Pirates' officers and then arrange for the remaining Shanks crew to continue carrying out Roger and Shanks' will.
Protect and guide Straw Hat Luffy a strongman.
But now, the Shanks remnants have become Uta's guardian knights.
Rayleigh and Gaban had no choice but to abandon this powerful force.
"Now... can we talk about our business?"
When Gloriosa saw that Wang Shi had subdued two of his fellow Shanks executives, she felt a little uneasy.
She sensed something was wrong. Would revealing such a shocking secret and the domineering Wang Shi really make them ransom Golden Lion Shiki?
"Your Wang Shi, because the Pirate Empress refused the summons to Shichibukai lost her status, and Amazon Lily Pirate Empress about to be destroyed by the World Government."
"We brought some Devil Fruit with us this time, hoping to redeem Golden Lion Shiki and relocate the island for us."
"We hope Your Majesty will show leniency!"
Shyarly, Rayleigh, Gloriosa quickly carried the Devil Fruit treasure chests onto the table.
"Releasing them is out of the question, but I can discuss with the Shiki about relocating you to another island!"
Wang Shi smiled faintly, glanced at the opened Devil Fruit treasure chests, discovered several decent Devil Fruit abilities, and then directly had Capone Bege accept these Devil Fruits.
Wang Shi's domineering and direct manner made Rayleigh and Shakky feel uneasy.
No, can Wang Shi really persuade Shiki to help him without letting him go?
Is this some kind of ploy to fool them?
They actually accepted their Devil Fruit just like that.
"Rest assured! I, Wang Shi, always keep my word. Getting paid to do something is my principle!"
"If I accept your Devil Fruit, I will definitely complete your mission."
Seeing their stiff expressions, Wang Shi smiled calmly and gave them a reassuring promise.
It's just relocating an island; there's no need to release Shiki. This way, they've gained a bunch of Devil Fruit free and even have a chance to flirt with the Pirate Empress.
It seems that plans targeting the Celestial Dragons need to be put on the agenda.
We need to find some unlucky Celestial Dragons.
These multi-pronged tactics fully demonstrate Wang Shi's greedy nature of wanting to have it all!
In conclusion, Wang Shi was very satisfied with today's secret meeting!
They made a fortune!
···
Rayleigh, Gaban, Shakky, Gloriosa exchanged glances, ultimately choosing to believe Wang Shi's words.
After all, if Wang Shi wanted to forcibly take the Devil Fruit or directly attack them, they would have no chance of resisting.
"When will Your Majesty allow the Shiki to depart?"
With a somber expression, Shakky cautiously inquired of Wang Shi.
"Don't worry! Before the new Fleet Admiral is appointed and the World Government takes action against the Amazon Lily, I will definitely make sure Shiki fulfills your relocation request!"
"You should go back and find a new secret sea area to settle the island!"
"And Rayleigh and Gaban, you two hurry up and go protect your chosen ones."
Wang Shi waved his hand casually, as if he were dealing with a trivial matter.
"All right!"
Shakky and Gloriosa spoke with resignation, while Rayleigh and Gaban's faces darkened. Were they really going to become Luffy's Straw Hat Luffy?
"By the way, Garp, you'd better go protect your grandson too."
"You three old men shall become the protectors of the Sun God Nika."
"Otherwise, if the World Government intervenes, Straw Hat Luffy won't survive."
Wang Shi chuckled. He planned to fully mobilize these powerful old men and make them easy targets for the World Government.
"Damn Red-Haired Shanks! Why did he bring that stupid Devil Fruit to Foosha Village and fool my grandson, who keeps yelling about becoming the Pirate King!!"
Fist Garp, vented all his resentment on Red-Haired Shanks, and immediately began to curse and swear.
His grandson could have been like him, a 'righteous' navy man.
It was that Red-Haired Shanks who led Luffy!
Garp's direct and explicit insults left both Roger's remaining followers and Shanks' remaining followers somewhat embarrassed.
Uta looked somewhat displeased.
Shanks is, after all, her adoptive father; if she has to scold or beat him, that's her responsibility.
She wouldn't allow Garp, an outsider, to insult Shanks.
"Alright! You can show your face in the Goa Empire for the next few days, cause a bit of a ruckus, and then you can leave!"
Wang Shi patted Uta's little head to soothe the sulky little girl and prevent her from jumping out and yelling at Garp.
"Is this to give His Majesty more excuses?"
Shakky immediately understood Wang Shi's meaning: to create a crisis in the Goa Empire, making it even more impossible for Wang Shi to leave the Goa Empire.
"A smart person!"
Wang Shi did not refute, and simply left with his men.
A large group of Baron escorted Wang Shi away, with even Yasopp and Limejuice following in the Uta Guard.
Once Shanks and Wang Shi do their part to have their bounties revoked, they can live openly and legitimately within the Goa Empire.
What Yasopp didn't know was that he had just shed his pirate identity and become an Imperial Baron, and his son had already Straw Hat Luffy to become a pirate in order to become a sea warrior.
They embarked on a perilous path to death.
With Wang Shi's large entourage gone, the Dadan Tavern returned to its quiet state.
Of course, the silence was because all the minor characters had not yet woken up from Wang Shi's Conqueror's Haki.
"Don't overthink it, just trust Wang Shi!"
Rayleigh comforted his woman, trying to reassure Shakky and prevent her from worrying too much about Amazon Lily.
"Now that things are resolved, it's time to leave. I miss my woman too."
Seeing Rayleigh and Shakky being all lovey-dovey reminded Gaban of his giant wife Ripley and his beloved son Colon.
Meanwhile, the old aunt Gloriosa's face darkened.
She's the only one here who has never had a spouse!
I've never tasted love in my entire life.
Garp is extremely agitated and is considering whether to set Luffy and capture Luffy.
Even if Luffy is captured and brought back to Foosha Village, Luffy still not be safe.
Luffy must grow stronger in order to cope with these terrible crises.
It's really numb!
His son and grandson are completely at odds with the World Government, in a fight to the death.
···
Meanwhile, the Wang Shi family returned to the Goa Imperial Palace.
They laid out Devil Fruit that Red-Haired Shanks and Shakky had offered them.
They checked each Devil Fruit's ability one by one, and even let Princess Vivi choose first.
Furthermore, two Mythical Zoan abilities are on their way from Mary Geoise.
After completely influencing and controlling Yasopp and Limejuice, Wang Shi planned to make these powerful Shanks executives Devil Fruit User to further enhance their strength.
The rule about not eating Devil Fruit is a complete fallacy!
