The Fifth Emperor? I'm the Demon King

[Ding!]

[Side Mission Completed: Dominate Dressrosa and establish the Demon King's Grand Fleet]

[Mission Reward: Shadowkhan · Alien Shadowkhan]

The banquet was exceptionally lively.

Ye Zhuo raised his cup and drank heartily.

[Side Mission Activated: Momousagi has appeared in Gold City. Defeat her and bring her to sea.]

[Mission Prompt: The next time she appears in Gold City will be six years from now. Please head there as soon as possible.]

[Mission Reward: Shadowkhan · Mantis Shadowkhan]

The Shadowkhan known as the strongest.

More importantly.

With this, Ye Zhuo had truly gathered every type of Shadowkhan!

At the banquet.

Ye Zhuo was in an excellent mood.

King Riku, Kyros, and the chief of the Tontatta Tribe were all asking what they should do from now on.

Ye Zhuo could not be bothered to manage them and told them to decide for themselves, as long as they did not listen to the Reverie.

And they absolutely could not hand over the Heavenly Tribute.

After hearing this, the three of them were completely bewildered.

"Then how often do I need to pay protection money?"

"Just give me all the arena ticket revenue."

Ye Zhuo yawned. He was getting sleepy.

Only then did the three prepare to leave. They had more or less understood that Ye Zhuo was someone who simply did not follow logic.

"Wait, Kyros.

Sell more chilled cola and popcorn whenever you can.

Of course, that money belongs to me too."

Ye Zhuo pointed a finger at Kyros, healing his damaged leg in passing.

"My leg!"

Seeing that a new leg had actually healed in such a manner, Kyros was overjoyed.

"What's there to be happy about?"

Ye Zhuo waved them away.

Through his sleepy haze.

Ye Zhuo, who had not opened his character panel in quite some time, finally tapped it.

Momousagi had not even become an admiral candidate yet?

What could she do if she came aboard?

His ambition had already begun searching for a position for her.

He had heard that Momousagi often infiltrated places disguised as a geisha to complete various missions.

She was probably quite skilled at performing.

Then she could become a dancer.

The next day.

When Ye Zhuo woke from his sleep.

Rebecca, Violet, and Baby 5 had already been waiting for a long time.

"Let's go. Prepare to set sail."

After boarding the Demon King.

Ye Zhuo casually tossed out two Devil Fruits.

He gave the Warp-Warp Fruit to Tashigi and the Smooth-Smooth Fruit to Sadi.

"One of you is my guard swordswoman.

The other is my beast tamer.

These two Devil Fruits suit you perfectly, so develop them well."

As for the Target-Target Fruit.

Ye Zhuo planned to give it to a sniper on the ship, though he did not have anyone with that talent yet.

For a lookout, they had Violet, a Glint-Glint Fruit user who was practically a lie detector.

The head maid was Baby 5, a Weapon-Weapon Fruit user, and she was only responsible for taking care of Ye Zhuo.

Rebecca's invisibility and Tashigi's teleportation made them perfect guards.

Seeing this pirate crew tailored to perfection.

Ye Zhuo felt considerably more satisfied.

"Damn it, it tastes awful! Did you do that on purpose?"

Tashigi took a bite of the Warp-Warp Fruit.

"Call me Captain!"

Ye Zhuo glared at her, and Tashigi only managed to say two words: "Captain."

Sadi, on the other hand, felt that the worse the Smooth-Smooth Fruit tasted, the better.

Sure enough, people were different. Some were not even human.

After the Dressrosa incident.

Following Empress Hancock, Sand Crocodile Crocodile, Gecko Moria, and Jinbe the Sea Knight.

Another Shichibukai had suffered misfortune.

Heavenly Yaksha Donquixote Doflamingo had also been kicked out.

Even more astonishingly, he had been thrown directly into Impel Down, right before Magellan.

Some said it was a collaboration between the Marines and the Demon King.

At first, the rumor spread like wildfire.

But it died down before long.

Because some said that Impel Down was not under Marine jurisdiction, but within the domain of the World Government's military.

People stopped discussing it. It was perfectly normal for the World Government to do such a thing.

The Demon King was speeding in a certain direction.

Gold City was known as the liveliest place on the sea.

Celestial Dragons often went there to have fun as well.

Ye Zhuo bought a stack of newspapers and accepted a thick pile of bounty posters.

He read them with interest.

"Demon King Ye Zhuo defeats five Shichibukai, shattering the balance of the world!"

"The Fifth Emperor is born! Demon King Ye Zhuo occupies four great kingdoms!"

"Demon King Ye Zhuo declares war on the Whitebeard Pirates at Fish-Man Island!"

Boring.

Ye Zhuo no longer wanted to read. Why were all the front-page headlines about him these days?

Being at the top of the news for so long was truly boring.

He picked up a bounty poster and looked at it.

His own bounty had soared to 3.5 billion Beli.

The bounties of Empress, Kalifa, Robin, Perona, Nami, and Baby 5 had all increased considerably.

But Vivi, Tashigi, Sadi, Shirahoshi, Violet, and Rebecca did not have bounties at all.

"Damn it, my crew all willingly chose to sail with me.

Yet the Marines think I kidnapped them. What slander!"

Ye Zhuo was furious, but what angered him most was being called the Fifth Emperor.

"The Fifth Emperor? I'm the Demon King!"

The angry Ye Zhuo turned toward the horizon.

At last.

Gold City, standing atop a super battleship, entered his sight.

"We're here. Let's see whether Momousagi is around.

If she isn't, then I'll have to play here for a few days."

Ye Zhuo's Ultra-Long Distance Observation Haki, combined with Lightning Chi, had developed an effect similar to Mantra.

He could sense the entirety of Gold City from an ultra-long distance away.

"Found her!"

A gaze swept toward him. It belonged to Momousagi.

But Ye Zhuo's Conqueror's Haki could conceal his presence through "Observation Killing."

"Stop the ship. Crew, we're going to have fun for a few days!"

Ye Zhuo stepped onto Gold City.

This place was truly prosperous, with a feeling entirely different from Dressrosa.

If Dressrosa was lively.

Decorated by Donquixote Doflamingo as a land of fairy tales and romance.

Then Gold City, created by the Golden Emperor Tesoro, was an extravagantly luxurious land of gold everywhere!

Momousagi was currently carrying out a mission in Gold City, playing the role of a geisha.

At this moment.

Momousagi had yet to become an admiral candidate.

Using this opportunity, she had marked every member of a pirate crew, intending to catch them all in one sweep.

Once Ye Zhuo confirmed Momousagi's whereabouts, he stopped wasting time.

But strangely, from the moment he set foot in Gold City, the streets had been utterly deserted.

Everyone had vanished without a trace.

"Am I really that scary?"

Ye Zhuo asked himself. He was quite approachable.
