Red-Haired Shanks: I'm Not One of the Four Emperors Anymore

[Bite!]

[Side quest completed: Hawk-Eye Shichibukai]

[Quest Reward: Pirate Gloves (Perfect Version)]

Ye Zhuo rubbed his eyes.

He was sleeping and didn't expect to be woken up by the system notification sound.

[Main quest unlocked: After a week's rest, travel to the Future Kingdom, invite Vegapunk II Lilith and Vegapunk VI York to become new crew members, and assign them positions.]

[Quest Reward: Copy Powder) ]

One Lilith, representing evil, and the other is York, representing eating, drinking, and defecating.

Vegapunk's six clones share a single brain, and their experiences and knowledge are synchronized.

What are you bringing?

Was he Vegapunk's surveillance camera?

Ye Zhuo thought that if bringing them back didn't solve the problem, he would send these two people to guard the gate.

Exhausted, Ye Zhuo then looked at the mission rewards.

By replicating powder, one can increase their own numbers and thus their strength.

This thing is essentially an Infinity Dao fighting force.

What's more, it was the wrong version that Tama configured.

However, it is ultimately just medicine powder, and it can be used up.

Nami approached Ye Zhuo carrying a stack of newspapers.

"Hey, don't you even say hello when you come in?"

Ye Zhuo was helpless; what was wrong with his crew?

Should we remove all the doors to his bedroom?

Whoosh!

Rows of long, slender hands grew directly from the blanket!

It grew out!

The newspaper that Nami was holding was also passed to her.

Robin?

Ye Zhuo looked around, his Observation Haki in place.

It turns out that Violet was using the Glint-Glint Fruit in combination with Robin.

"Captain, the New World has changed."

"What important matter is it?"

Ye Zhuo first picked up the bounty poster and took a look.

Wow!

The Demon King Pirates' bounties have been increased by 200 million Beli.

He himself has surpassed 4.78 billion Beli!

Moreover, Dracule Mihawk, who was already wanted by Ye Zhuo, has once again earned the title of Pirate Hunter.

Hawk-Eye also has a bounty on his head from the Navy.

They received the same 3.59 billion Beli!

"They've set sail?"

Ye Zhuo tossed aside the bounty poster and flipped through the newspaper.

"Dracule Mihawk sets sail again, resigning from the Shichibukai!"

"Major news! The Shichibukai merely nominal; insiders reveal they may be recruiting again!"

"Red-Haired Shanks declares he is no longer the Emperor of the Sea!"

"Shanks' territory has been completely transformed with the Demon King's Grand Fleet's One Piece flag; the secrets behind this are still being uncovered..."

Ye Zhuo, who was ahead, had already anticipated this.

After all, the mission rewards were sent to the system's inventory.

To his surprise, Shanks also stopped vying for dominance over the seas.

Ye Zhuo picked up a second newspaper.

"The New World is a three-way power struggle: Kaido, Newgate of Whitebeard, Ye Zhuo, the Demon King. Who is the World's Strongest?!"

"Sources have revealed that the Demon King has apparently landed on a deserted island to confront the Red Hair Pirates and Dracule Mihawk!"

"Breaking news! The news is false. There is no evidence that the Demon King's Grand Fleet left Hive Island that day!"

"Further revelations: A mysterious insider has provided definitive information, confirming that he is the one who was attacked!"

Ye Zhuo picked up the third newspaper.

"Sengoku of the Navy publicly announced that he will conduct World Military Draft, expanding the Three Admirals to Admiral, and once again summoning the Shichibukai!"

"Lucky Roux has announced that he was beaten, and that's true. He hopes this newspaper won't be ungrateful!"

"Thank you for the invitation. Our newspaper's head, Morgans, has already paid Lucky Roux's fee, which is perfectly legal and justified."

"Shanks confirms with his own autograph: I'm no longer one of the Four Emperors!"

Speechless.

Ye Zhuo glanced at the newspaper; all of this had actually been printed overnight.

Morgans printed three versions in one night just to make money off Beli!

That's incredibly dedicated.

"Glug glug glug!"

The Den Den Mushi) rang.

Ye Zhuo stood up and went to the dining room to have breakfast.

Today's breakfast was very healthy and not greasy at all.

It's insanely spicy hot pot!

Ye Zhuo the Den Den Mushi and cooked a piece of tripe in it.

"My Demon King, I am Morgans."

We made a fortune last night, and we'll be sending you Beli soon!

Demon King, are these news reports true?

Are Shanks and Hawk-Eye just trying to ride the coattails of this trend?

If so, I will immediately publish new content to refute it!

Morgans is a master at identifying trending topics.

"Don't Den Den Mushi unless it's absolutely necessary. I need to rest this morning!"

Ye Zhuo hung up the Den Den Mushi and then realized that the tripe had been overcooked.

"Captain, at least seven islands have already made contact this morning."

They were once under the protection of the Red Hair Pirates.

Now ask us how many Beli we need to pay."

Kalifa asked seriously, showing little interest in the food.

Kalifa is actually a collector, but she prefers socks and high heels.

"Send more local specialties, and it would be even better if there was some wine."

Sending Beli? Do I look like someone who needs Beli?

Whom do you look down on?

Ye Zhuo glanced at the plate of Carrot in front of Carrot.

This rabbit only knows how to gnaw on carrots; its nutrition is completely unbalanced.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Zhuo grabbed a plate of tripe and washed it all down the drain.

Tashigi wiped the Kashu and Shigure in her hands.

Now, she has become Two-Sword Style swordswoman, striving to become even stronger.

There was no surprise when I saw that the Navy was World Military Draft and was creating a fourth and fifth Admiral.

There was even a sense of surprise.

She had grown accustomed to life as a member of the Demon King Pirates.

Having only been here a short time, each of the Four Seas had its own forces pacified.

Vinsmoke had previously been rampaging and Slaughter Dao under the protection of the Reverie, has become much more subdued.

Fish-Man Island is now free of conflict and bathed in sunlight once more.

Those whose souls were taken in the Totto Land have had their lifespans restored.

The Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, have seen many members die or flee.

In contrast, the navy has never truly stepped into the New World in recent years.

Under Ye Zhuo's command, all that was needed was to hand over wine and local specialties.

Of course, Ye Zhuo has his own business and a substantial income.

Compared to the Heavenly Tribute given to the Celestial Dragons, this sense of security is like something out of a dream.

Tashigi couldn't understand why she had been blinded before.

Momousagi, Hina, and Ain shared the same thoughts, but they were also worried about Zephyr's safety.

The New World has always been a place of undercurrents and turmoil.

They were nothing more than a lone boat adrift on turbulent waves; had they not met Ye Zhuo, they would never have reached shore in their entire lives.

What are you thinking about?

Ye Zhuo casually took a plate of beef from in front of Tashigi and threw it into the hot pot.

"N-nothing..."

Tashigi blushed slightly.

"Oh, you're not thinking, 'It's so good to have me.'"

Or perhaps you're trying to steal my swordsmanship?

Ye Zhuo ate tripe and beef, and took a sip of freshly warmed wine.

"It's one thing that previous missions had countdowns."

This time, the task was delayed, and we can only go a week later.

"I'm bored. I can't just wander around aimlessly every day, can I?"

Ye Zhuo rinsed his mouth with red wine.

He appeared in the cage after a snap of his fingers.

Zephyr had just finished breakfast and was reading the newspaper when he saw Ye Zhuo and angrily said:

"You One Piece's breakfast is so spicy! How despicable! You're deliberately trying to hurt my throat!"

"Old man, you're already being kind by giving you food."

Ye Zhuo glanced at Zephyr and took a bottle of wine that he had hidden behind his back.

"You!"

Zephyr was so angry at the sight that his liver hurt.

"What do you mean 'you'? This wine is good, it's mine."

Ye Zhuo teleported away instantly.

Zephyr was left behind, his head throbbing with anger.

"Smoothie is a great beverage maker, but I still need a brewer."

Ye Zhuo gazed at the sea, already beginning to look for a winemaker.
