The Trash Station of Naruto

Ren chuckled. "Not bad... Red-Hair knows a lot, but he's never talked about it. He and his people have kept this world's secrets to themselves. We have to get to the bottom of it! Keep an eye on Teach, too!"

Ren had overheard something too shocking to ignore, so he would keep listening in on Red-Hair. He would watch Teach as well. After all, who knew Teach had such a remarkable background?

Bing Jieke nodded. "Yes, Captain!"

Ren looked around the palace. Everyone ate quietly, waiting for his orders.

He turned to World. "Keep in contact with Doflamingo. That cast-off Celestial Dragon should know plenty! You can also go a few rounds with Kaido when you have time. Many of his people have eaten Zoan Fruits, so they'll be useful to you!"

World nodded. "Yes, Captain!"

Shiryu smiled as he ate his steak, looking forward to the weapon Ren was forging.

A moment later, crisp footsteps sounded. Robin was approaching.
