CP9 Wiped Out, the Empress Becomes Vice Captain

Ye Zhuo knew he was being followed as he walked down the street.

Great. He would have been unhappy if they had not followed him.

He threw down some gold at the most luxurious hotel, feasted to his heart's content, then lay down on the bed.

If you wanted to live well at sea, you could not do without gold and Beli.

Late at night.

Ye Zhuo tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Why had CP9 not come yet?

I've been this arrogant, this outrageous!

Do you still not realize something is wrong?

At the very least, you should come verify it.

Whoosh!

Ye Zhuo had deliberately left the window open while he slept, afraid CP9 would not be able to sneak in.

The facts proved his concern was entirely unnecessary.

An Air Door opened, and every member of CP9 gathered before Ye Zhuo's little bed.

For this, Ye Zhuo had specifically placed the blueprints beside the bed.

He had gone to great lengths to make Rob Lucci even more certain.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew over, lifting a sheet of blueprints.

Rob Lucci's pupils shook!

He had never seen them before, but after flipping through just two pages, he confirmed that these were unprecedented design plans.

Even if they were not Pluton's blueprints, they were no ordinary designs.

The group exchanged glances.

They had originally planned to leave again through Bruno's Air Door.

But Rob Lucci exchanged looks with the others and instantly attacked Ye Zhuo, who was pretending to sleep.

Good!

Ye Zhuo had finally waited for this moment!

Swish!

He sprang to his feet at once and appeared beside Bruno in an instant.

He used invisibility and speed for movement.

Armament Haki and brute strength for attack.

One punch smashed into Bruno's stomach, making his eyes roll back as he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.

"Attack!"

Rob Lucci attacked. He had not expected Ye Zhuo to notice them.

"Arhat Fist!"

Ye Zhuo's fists were fierce beyond measure, coupled with his terrifying speed.

Every member of CP9 went down with a single punch.

Until he stood before Rob Lucci.

"Demon King Ye Zhuo, the man with a bounty of one billion Beli, you killed a Celestial Dragon in the Sabaody Archipelago. There is no escape for you now.

Marine Warships have surrounded Water 7!

The Buster Call can begin at any moment. You're dead!"

Before Rob Lucci could finish speaking.

Ryuo and Conqueror's Coating erupted around Ye Zhuo at the same time.

Whoosh!

One punch flew out. The expression vanished from Rob Lucci's face in an instant, and his entire face caved in.

He flew backward and could no longer rise.

CP9's leader, the strongest Six Naval Powers genius in centuries, could not endure even one punch.

Ye Zhuo picked up every sheet of blueprints.

CP9 had been completely wiped out!

Rob Lucci turned into a Leopard, while Bruno turned into an Ox.

Kaku turned into a Giraffe, while Jabra turned into a Wolf.

Kumadori turned into a Lion, while Owl naturally lived up to his name.

Under the Monkey Talisman's power, the CP9 Zoo was officially established.

Oh, there was still one left: Ye Zhuo's shipwright, Kalifa.

Under the moonlight.

When she witnessed the scene with her own eyes, she stood frozen in shock.

His strength was so overwhelming that she felt he could kill her with a single glance.

[ Ding! ]

[Main chain mission completed: Treasure Ship Plan 3, defeat CP9]

[Mission reward: Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nine-Tailed Fox form]

Holding a brand-new Devil Fruit in his hand.

Ye Zhuo glanced at the dumbfounded Kalifa and signaled for her to eat it.

[Main chain mission refreshed: Treasure Ship Plan 4, set sail after the ship is repaired, with Kalifa as shipwright and Empress as vice-captain]

[Mission reward: Disease-Disease Fruit]

This reward looked ordinary, but it was strangely not bad.

He had a feeling it would come in handy at some point.

"I should find a ship's doctor too."

Ye Zhuo thought about it. Who should he find to be his ship's doctor?

"It tastes awful.

Is this a Devil Fruit?"

Kalifa said with some disgust.

The remaining fruit fell to the ground.

Her entire body gained a completely new power.

"From now on, you're the shipwright on my pirate ship."

Ye Zhuo looked at Kalifa, but she said nothing.

Under the moonlight, she wore a black assistant's uniform, black fishnet stockings, and a pair of high heels.

"I can end my own life."

"Then I'll make you wish you were dead."

Ye Zhuo did not like negotiating terms with others.

"Hmph, even if you threaten me, I'll never agree!"

Kalifa turned her head away, her little face flushing slightly.

Ye Zhuo felt that this woman seemed to have some inexplicable fetish.

"A Buster Call? Which Admiral will come this time?"

Ye Zhuo left the hotel, with Kalifa following behind him the entire time.

When they reached the harbor, he could indeed see warships concealed in the darkness at a glance.

Click, click, click.

The sound of high heels rang out.

Ye Zhuo looked over and saw Empress rushing toward them in a cheongsam.

"I want to board your ship, Ye Zhuo. I want to become the vice-captain of your ship!"

The moonlight was bright and clear.

It accentuated Empress's aloof temperament. Amid her dark, hime-cut hair, there was a trace of shy irritation.

Kalifa engraved Ye Zhuo's name in her heart, then could not help feeling surprised that the two knew each other.

"Congratulations, you've been accepted into the Ye Zhuo Pirates!

As vice-captain, you should also meet our new crewmate.

This is our shipwright, Miss Kalifa. Her hobbies are collecting stockings and shoes."

Ye Zhuo remembered that Kalifa's Vivre Card had indeed said so.

"That's not true, seriously."

Kalifa's little face reddened. She had not expected Ye Zhuo to know her so well, and she immediately sent a flying kick at him.

Fortunately, Ye Zhuo dodged it with ease.

"Fine."

Empress had initially thought Kalifa was a rival, but she was actually a shipwright!

She immediately cast a disdainful look at her.

"Nani?"

Kalifa was greatly alarmed. Empress's eyes were mocking her!

Their gazes shone like flashes of lightning.

Ye Zhuo paid them no attention at all.

He still had to wait for Iceberg Company to finish building his pirate ship, so he could not let the Buster Call destroy Water 7.

"Everyone, no matter who you are, retreat before I set sail."

He took one step forward.

Powerful Conqueror's Haki used the entire island as its base and surged out toward the sea.

"Ye Zhuo really has Conqueror's Haki!"

Empress could not help looking at Ye Zhuo, her heart filled with joy.

The man she had chosen should be a king, one in a million!

"That isn't very polite."

A lazy voice came from the darkness.

He yawned, and a laser shot followed.

Kizaru!

Before, Ye Zhuo could only dodge or withstand it head-on.

But now, he could use offense as the best defense.

His Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki wrapped around him completely, allowing him to ignore the attack.

That eruption of Conqueror's Haki had already knocked out most of the Marines.

Only Kizaru and several other Marine Headquarters Elite Vice Admirals remained.

If his Conqueror's Haki advanced from Conqueror's Coating to the level of Observation Killing.

Not only could he conceal his presence from Observation Haki, he could even knock Vice Admirals unconscious directly.

For now, though, he was still a little short.

"Kizaru, how dare he make an enemy of my captain!"

Empress was just about to attack.

But Ye Zhuo stopped her.

"Let me handle this."

"Mm!"

Empress nodded. In her eyes, Ye Zhuo already had dozens of layers of filters, making him impossibly handsome.

Boom!

In the darkness.

Kizaru's Laser Kick collided with Ye Zhuo in midair.

"You've already awakened Armament Haki?"

"Not just Armament Haki."

This time, Ye Zhuo could handle it with ease using only his own body.
