Nobody Dared Cause Trouble Again

However.

Just as Roya had said.

It was true that he would go after Blackbeard Teach.

Just not now!

However.

After hearing Roya's explanation.

Red-Haired Shanks was relieved.

After all, Roya's answer was exactly what he had wanted to hear.

"Good!"

"Mr. Roya!"

"An alliance with you may not be possible!"

"But if you need our help while dealing with Blackbeard Teach."

"I, Shanks, will certainly not refuse!"

Red-Haired Shanks spoke with equal righteousness.

"Mm."

"We'll see!"

Roya's answer was not so clear. He neither agreed nor refused.

How should he put it?

Although Roya was very powerful now, since Red-Haired Shanks intended to befriend him, there was naturally no need for him to offend the other man.

"Good!"

"Then my purpose in coming here has been fulfilled!"

"In that case, we won't disturb you any longer!"

Red-Haired Shanks promptly rose to say goodbye.

"Wait!"

"Red-Haired Shanks!"

"Perhaps there's something you can help me with!"

Roya called out to stop Red-Haired Shanks.

"Mm, no problem!"

"Mr. Roya, tell me!"

Red-Haired Shanks did not refuse. Before even learning what Roya needed, he agreed first.

After all, as one of the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks had no trouble handling ordinary favors. As long as Roya did not ask him to destroy Marine Headquarters or blow up the World Government outright, he could generally manage it. Even if Roya asked him to deal with another of the Four Emperors, he might agree without hesitation.

After all, he was already irreconcilably opposed to those other two Four Emperors.

Of course.

Roya was not about to ask Red-Haired Shanks to help him deal with the other two Four Emperors. It was not as if he lacked that strength himself.

"Actually, it's just a small matter!"

"It's mainly about the whereabouts of Marco and the others!"
