Dark World, Submit

"Clean up Hive Island. I'll be back soon."

Ye Zhuo drained the wine from the Life Grail in one gulp.

He picked up two Log Poses and stepped out of the palace.

He leaped into the air.

Westwood Wings gathered Lightning Chi on one side while winding Wind Demon Aura around the other.

Thunder-Wind Wings!

The Rooster Talisman and Rabbit Talisman accelerated him.

Moon Demonic Energy shattered every restraint.

Whoosh!

Ye Zhuo burst forth at full speed.

"Another countdown mission.

It's all because of you two rotten apples!

You've forced such a kind person like me to take action!"

Whoosh!

On an ordinary-looking island.

Ye Zhuo set foot on the ground and immediately confirmed the target's location with his ultra-long-range Observation Haki.

The Shipping King was hiding underground.

On the surface, he transported goods with trade ships, but in reality, he used submarines.

After receiving Kalifa's call, he had decisively refused.

Demon King Ye Zhuo?

Did he not know that all this time,

the Dark World had been controlled by Kaido and Big Mom?

There had previously also been Donquixote Doflamingo, the Heavenly Yaksha, serving as an intermediary.

Now, they had the Four Emperors behind them.

What was some Demon King supposed to be?

Did he really think Morgans' newspaper hype had made him the Fifth Emperor?

Bang!

The entire island trembled. The man hidden in the underground harbor had just exhaled a ring of smoke.

Then a towering figure appeared before him.

"You think you deserve to be called a king?"

Ye Zhuo grabbed the Shipping King by the collar.

"You're the Demon King?"

The Shipping King remembered that Ye Zhuo on the wanted poster did not look like this!

Had he known the real person was this intimidating,

he would have submitted long ago!

Bang!

One punch killed him.

Laser Vision directly destroyed even his corpse.

Ye Zhuo then said,

"From now on, the Shipping King's territory and every one of his businesses belong to me.

Also, establish global gourmet delivery

and New World ocean express shipping!"

Not only would he revitalize the original businesses.

He would also add new ones!

"There's one more."

Ye Zhuo ignored the utterly stunned gazes around him.

His eyes erupted with lasers, blasting open the island's surface.

What a temper!

New World.

Pleasure District.

As the Queen of the Pleasure District, an emperor of the Dark World, and one of its decision-makers,

Stussy had another special identity.

She was a member of CP0 and possessed a vast amount of secret intelligence.

At that moment, she was leisurely enjoying afternoon tea.

"What Demon King? He really thinks he's something special.

He doesn't even consider that every overlord capable of establishing themselves in the New World

has deep and intricate roots."

Stussy smiled and said into the Den Den Mushi,

"Linlin, that man has been putting on a show everywhere.

Yet he has never attacked any of the Four Emperors.

That proves he is merely seeking fame."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi was Charlotte Linlin.

The veteran Four Emperor known as Big Mom!

"What Demon King? He dares covet what belongs to me? Is he asking to die?"

Big Mom laughed loudly. They all said Demon King Ye Zhuo had provoked Kaido and declared war on Whitebeard.

But what about the truth?

He did not dare provoke her at all!

And now he wanted the Dark World to submit to him.

It was utterly ridiculous!

"Are you the Queen of the Pleasure District?"

A cold voice rang out.

Ye Zhuo had silently appeared behind Stussy.

"Big Mom?"

He picked up the Den Den Mushi and shouted into it.

"Once I'm done here, I'll snap that pig-fat neck of yours in half!"

"What?!"

Big Mom had been drinking afternoon tea and chatting with her friends on Cake Island in Totto Land.

The moment she heard those words, she exploded in fury.

"You brat!"

Just as she was about to retort, she discovered that Ye Zhuo had already hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"AAAAAHHHH!"

Big Mom roared wildly.

She was going to declare war on Demon King Ye Zhuo!

She would twist off his head!

Pleasure District.

Stussy swallowed and slowly turned around.

Normally, she was just talking big.

But now that she had truly met Ye Zhuo, beads of sweat poured down her forehead one after another.

This was someone who slaughtered Celestial Dragons for fun.

"Demon King, why are you here?"

Logically, no matter where someone came from in the New World, it would take at least a day to reach her.

Was Ye Zhuo even human?

Could there really be something like a Demon King in this world?

At that speed, she should have learned of his arrival beforehand and escaped in the shortest possible time.

Who could have known he would find her so quickly, leaving her no chance to flee?

"Do you know how long it took me to fly here?"

Ye Zhuo looked displeased.

He grabbed Stussy by her golden hair.

Ye Zhuo had not the slightest pity for his enemies.

Especially since Stussy was not weak.

At the tea party, she had even been able to kill Feld, one of the Dark World emperors, from a thousand meters away

with the Flying Finger Pistol.

"Demon King, this is the Pleasure District.

As the name suggests, it is a place known as paradise.

You can have anything you desire here!"

Stussy glanced at Ye Zhuo from the corner of her eye and desperately threw seductive looks at him.

"You old hag, don't think I don't know you're the same age as Big Mom!"

Ye Zhuo lifted Stussy with one hand.

Her only value was that she was a CP0 member with access to vast amounts of intelligence.

Those so-called secrets held no value to Ye Zhuo whatsoever!

"Don't be human in your next life, you pumpkin."

"No!"

When Stussy heard those words, her heart turned cold.

Just as she was about to beg for mercy,

Ye Zhuo's eyes had already erupted with dazzling golden light.

Flying Finger Pistol!

Stussy still attempted a final counterattack before death.

As someone who had grown up alongside Big Mom, she was nearly seventy yet still looked like a young beauty.

Naturally, her strength and condition were both quite impressive.

Yet this attack could not even leave a mark on Ye Zhuo's skin.

"Iron Balloon?"

As regret filled Stussy's heart,

her face had already been blasted into ashes by Laser Vision.

Ye Zhuo stood still, finally having vented his anger.

"I've been a little too brutal lately.

This demonic energy, those black shadows, and the like might affect my state of mind.

I should meditate when I get back."

The moment Ye Zhuo calmed his heart, the Tiger Talisman eliminated the turmoil within him.

[ Ding! ]

[ Side mission completed: Dominate the Dark World ]

[ Mission reward: Shivas' Bracelets: Perfect Version ]

After putting on a pair of golden bracelets,

Ye Zhuo actually grew another pair of arms.

But with a thought,

the Thunder-Wind Wings, six arms, and twin horns all disappeared.

That was the benefit of naturally mastering power.

He could use and withdraw it at any time.

[ Main chain mission activated: Destroy one of the Four Emperors: Await Big Mom's declaration of war, then attack Totto Land ]

[ Mission reward: Divine Armor: Perfect Version ]

Ye Zhuo remembered this. Even an ordinary person wearing it could apparently rival Demon Di Kui.

"Alright, I guess the next one is the Eye of Aurora, which can freely teleport to anywhere in the world."

Big Mom still dared to play the victim first?

Then he would insist on fighting her!

Three days later.

The Golden Emperor Tesoro, News King Morgans, and the various emperors of the Dark World gathered on Hive Island.

Ye Zhuo sat high upon the throne, watching the figures arriving to worship him one after another.

Every pirate ship around Hive Island was guarded by black shadows.

The sky and land were guarded with extreme vigilance.

Sea King overlords also dwelled in the waters.

A Calm Belt had been artificially created!

Even Tesoro, the Golden Emperor, swallowed hard at the sight.

"This is so exciting! I heard Big Mom is about to declare war on the Demon King!"

As Morgans and the other Dark Emperors left Hive Island, they continued discussing it excitedly.

The crueler the battlefield, the more gold they could amass!
