Chapter 819: Giant Sea KingsAfter Satoru knocked Hody Jones back onto the Fish-Man Island Plaza ground, the New Fish-Man Pirates were completely defeated.Although Hody Jones was said to be the boss of the Fish-Man Island instance, the noah Ark actually fit the description better.At this moment, the crisis involving the noah Ark had not yet been resolved.And the solution Luffy came up with was to smash the noah Ark to pieces!!!...Others didn't know, but Little Bai was very clear: the noah couldn't be smashed. This was because the noah's keel was crafted from one whole adam tree, combined with the efforts of ninety-nine shipwrights who were the most skilled technicians of the time. Its hardness was not much weaker than Sea Stone. Even if other parts were smashed, the keel would remain, and the result of the impact would be the same."How much longer do we have to pull, Little Little Bai?"Little Bai communicated with Satoru through consciousness. They naturally possessed this ability; don't forget that Little Bai had always been deep within Satoru's consciousness before returning from Hell, though for some unknown reason, it had maintained a human form ever since."The noah Ark chains really taste awful."A complaint from Little Bai."Wait a little longer. It should be soon.""You be careful too."Little Bai felt a warmth in its heart, sensing Satoru's thoughtfulness.But what Satoru meant was, "Be careful not to actually let the noah fall."Little Bai: "..."...As Little Bai continued its act, the noah slowly descended. Those looking up from within Fish-Man Island saw the massive silhouette of the noahlooming overhead, like a meteor strike.It was too late to escape now.Luffy continued to strike the noah relentlessly. The Fishmen and humans could only pin their hopes on Luffy."Smash the noah!!""Stop it!!""straw hat!""straw hat!!""straw hat!!!"The name straw hat echoed through the crowd, representing their support for Luffy.Driven by this faith and his own promise, Luffypersisted, even as blood continuously spurted from his shoulder.Normally, Hody Jones's biting strength shouldn't have affected Luffy this badly, and Luffy's self-healing and resilience are also very strong. The worsening shoulder wound now likely meant Hody Jones had consumed too many drugs, causing even his teeth to carry poison. The Frenzy Drug could increase combat power, but the cost was the rapid dissipation of life force throughout the body after the effects wore off."Stop!!"A shout to stop rang in Luffy's ears. Luffy paused and asked loudly."Who is it!!"Not only Luffy, but Little Bai also heard it—or rather, it finally didn't have to bite onto the noah's chains anymore.Not just the two of them, but Satoru heard it too, and his heart seemed to stir. Satoru felt a strange sense of familiarity.Satoru could see that Giant Sea Kings, considerably larger than Little Bai, had appeared and were biting onto the remaining noah Ark chains.Little Bai stated: It's not that they are bigger than me, it's that I haven't fully revealed my size!!Luffy received no answer and continued striking the noah until Shirahoshi appeared before him."Mr. Luffy!! Please stop!!!""Cowardly Shirahoshi, move aside!! If I don't smash it, the island will be destroyed!! Everyone is still on the island!!"Luffy's tone was heavy; after all, this was a moment of crisis."It's already... fine, Mr. Luffy..."Shirahoshi said this with tears in her eyes, but she failed to state the crucial point, making Satoruanxious enough to step forward and grab Luffy's shoulder himself.Satoru approached Luffy. The Bubble Coating came together, and Satoru patted Luffy's shoulder to calm him down."Look up, Luffy."Satoru's voice always had a calming effect on Luffy. Without hesitation, Luffy looked up instinctively.Behind Little Bai were even larger, differently shaped Giant Sea Kings pulling the noah's chains. The noah had been stabilized and was no longer falling."Hoo-ah... Hoo-ah...""Why would the Sea Kings..."Confusion filled Luffy's eyes.Shirahoshi wept profusely, "Mr. Luffy is angry, woo woo woo!!""In any case, it's good that it stopped."Satoru said."Huh? Ah!! Satoru, when did you get here?!""...Just now.""But, Satoru, you're right about the ship... uh..."Mid-sentence, Luffy clutched the wound on his shoulder and staggered. Satoru quickly supported him."Luffy!""Mr. Luffy!""I'm fine. The ship stopped, and everyone is safe... that's good..."After saying that, Luffy fainted. Fortunately, Satoruwas holding him."You, you're always like this."Satoru picked Luffy up, preparing to return below to let Chopper treat him.Looking up, he saw Little Bai chatting with the Sea Kings."You possess a... feeling similar to our King?""Who are you?"These Sea Kings showed respect toward Little Bai.A look of nostalgia flashed in Little Bai's eyes. "An old friend, I suppose.""An old friend?""If you are an old friend of the King, then you must also be a person of noble status. No wonder we feel fear and respect upon seeing you. We must pull the noah, please forgive us for being unable to bow."The Sea Kings replied.Little Bai shook its head, indicating that such formalities were unnecessary. These Sea Kingsbefore it were not the ones it knew; they were likely descendants and probably unaware of the events of the past.Just as the Sea Kings were wondering what noble person Little Bai was, Satoru called out."Let's go, Little Bai.""Got it!"Little Bai immediately replied, then cheerfully transformed back into its human form and scurried toward Satoru.The Sea Kings: "..."That was quite the contrast."I'll leave this place to you, Princess Shirahoshi. I'm taking Luffy down first."Satoru said.Shirahoshi nodded. "Okay, I'll do my best! Mr. Luffyis more important!"Satoru nodded in response without speaking, carrying Luffy back down into Fish-Man Island.The Sea Kings watched Satoru's retreating figure, feeling puzzled."Did that human wearing the straw hat hear us talking just now?""Did he?! But, it seems like this has happened before.""Also... on the human who called away the respected Mr. Bai (referring to Little Bai) the moment he spoke, didn't you feel the same aura as the King and Mr. Bai?!""...""Although it's hard to believe, it is true!""That is truly incredible.""It seems that with the awakening of the King's power, great changes are about to happen in the world!!"
Chapter 820: Be My Comrade!!"What is everyone saying?"This was Shirahoshi's voice, directed at the Sea Kings pulling noah.She could hear the Sea Kings' conversations, but she had been worried Luffy hadn't heard, so now that she had, she asked.The Sea Kings explained to Shirahoshi that for some unknown reason, every hundred years, their king would be born in the form of a Mermaid Princess. Therefore, Shirahoshi was their king, and it was Shirahoshi's strong desire to help Luffy that had summoned them.Suddenly becoming a king was something that the innocent Princess Shirahoshi couldn't adapt to yet.But the Sea Kings declared that no matter when, if their king needed them, they would come.Then they pulled the damaged noah away.They muttered, "Can noah still be used? After all, we still bear our promise, the promise that we need to pull noah.""Hopefully, it can still be used after repairs, so they pulled the ship to the Sea Forest, to be repaired by Franky's younger brother—oh no, Franky's master's younger brother... As the Sea Kings appeared and Shirahoshi conversed with them, on the other side of the world, in the Underworld, Davy Jones, the God of Death, felt this power, the power of Poseidon, the Sea God!!""Ho ha ha ha!!""Good!""The Sea God's power has also awakened!!""Plus the Moon God's power within that damned Satoru's body!!""And that Uranus fellow!""Now only the sun god is left!! That simple fellow!! Ho ha ha ha!!""The future!!""The power of the Five Gods!!""The world!!""I'm looking forward to it!!!"..."The Sea Kings were afraid Mr. Luffy would destroy noah.""So that's how they protected it!""Is noah very important to them?""No matter what, the noah crisis is resolved, Fish-Man Island is saved!!!"The above was the declaration from the RyuguPalace Royal Guard.And the people on Fish-Man Island, seeing the shadow of noah gradually move away, also understood and became excited."noah stopped descending! The giant Sea Kingspulled noah away!""We're saved!! We're saved!! Fish-Man Island is saved!!!""That's great."The Straw Hat Pirates also breathed a sigh of relief. Luffy and Satoru had never disappointed them. Everyone gathered in front of the thousand sunny to rest, waiting for Luffy and Satoru to return.Although Chopper could transform into his monster form with his consciousness intact, he would still be fatigued and weak for 2 to 3 hours afterward.Robin let him rest his head on her lap, which made Sanji so envious that he immediately "collapsed" on the spot."Sister Robin, I'm also too tired to stand. Let me rest my head on your lap too!!"No sooner had Sanji spoken than Satoru's voice came over."Do you want Sister Ivankov's lap?"Everyone looked up as Satoru and Xiao Bai descended from the air and returned.Sanji stood up in anger and shouted."How dare you say that!! Satoru!!""You always make me recall fragments of hell in paradise!!!""You bas..."Mid-curse, Sanji saw Luffy, whom Satoru was carrying, bleeding profusely, and immediately stopped."He's so badly injured?"Satoru nodded."My dereliction of duty.""Chopper, I'm counting on you."Satoru gently placed Luffy on the ground."Mr. Luffy!!!"At this moment, Shirahoshi and Ryuboshi also returned.Everyone was present, except for the Van der Decken family who had fled.But Chopper, due to his overall weakness, collapsed as soon as he stood up."Oh no! Robin, there's hemostatic agent in my backpack!!"Usopp was very worried, "Future battles are truly unsettling!! Doctor!!"Robin grabbed Chopper's face and lifted him, seemingly very interested in this."I'll handle the moving."In response, Satoru single-handedly picked up Chopper, and with his other hand, repeatedly punched him.Satoru wasn't crazy.This was a replication of Crocus's medical technique, used for fatigue-relieving massage. After Crocusbecame a member of Roger's crew, he was often extremely tired, so he invented this massage method, allowing him to massage himself."Fully revived!!"Chopper struck a pose.Usopp, full of energy, exclaimed, "That's too amazing!""Luffy's condition is urgent!!""Damn it, the bleeding has stopped, but he lost too much blood!! Not enough blood!!""Is anyone's blood type F?"Franky helped shout, "No one here is type F except Luffy!"Sanji, with a cigarette in his mouth, said, "With so many people in the plaza, someone must be type F." He knew there were, but whether they were willing was another matter.Zoro was already prepared, if no one agreed, he would first ask who it was, then directly cut them.The Fishmen and mermaids on the edge of the plaza knew that Luffy was the hero who saved Fish-Man Island, and they also knew they were type F, but no one dared to step forward."The law of this country does not allow blood transfusions to humans."Satoru said. This time Sanji didn't spurt blood, so everyone didn't know."Eh?! What kind of law is that? It's too much!!"Nami and Usopp were indignant."My blood won't work? My blood is red too!!"Shirahoshi said anxiously, she didn't even know her own blood type.They couldn't drag this out any longer!Zoro had already locked onto those who had wavered earlier and was about to draw his sword when someone finally stepped forward."Use my blood.""I'm [F], use as much as you need!""Boss Jinbe!!"The Fishmen exclaimed.Chopper also worried, "But the law?"Jinbe stated, "I am a pirate." Indeed, pirates are inherently forbidden by law, so why should a pirate follow the law?"Boss Jinbe!!"The Fishmen cheered.The Right Minister, that old-fashioned man, was about to speak, but fortunately, Neptune was open-minded."Isn't this good?""Outdated laws are also a [curse]..."...Whether harming others or being harmed by others, crimson blood must flow.Although it can hardly be called a path, it is these slender and narrow blood vessels that can eliminate mutual fear and prejudice, ending the war of blood for blood... Easily wiping away the past, it is a more certain path to the [sun] than any imagined fantasy.This may not apply to other races or within the human race, but for the Fish-Man Race at this time, the blood transfusion between Luffy and Jinbe was building a path to the sun (land) for the Fish-Man Race, eliminating the law that prohibited blood transfusions to humans, which began with the Tigerincident.Luffy will not forget this kindness, and neither will the Straw Hat Pirates.Just as Luffy said to the shark earlier.Friends.If the future of Fish-Man Island needs friends, Luffywill not hesitate; this is his way of doing things."Jinbe..."Luffy regained consciousness.Everyone from the Straw Hat Pirates, the Neptunefamily, and the onlookers were all happy for him.Jinbe was also, "What? You've regained consciousness."Luffy showed his signature smile. On the way to Fish-Man Island, Satoru had already mentioned inviting Jinbe to join them.But due to many things, Luffy hadn't had time to say it. Of course, it wasn't that he forgot, and Ace had also clearly told them that Jinbe had joined the Big Mom Pirates, but Luffy's personality didn't care about any of that."Hey, Jinbe...""Be my comrade!!!"
Chapter 821: Just RightAfter the great victory came the banquet.Everyone from the Straw Hat Pirates experienced a wonderful and joyful banquet at the underwater Ryugu Palace.There is no need to elaborate here.Ace and the others were naturally present. Although they didn't exert any effort, as the older brother of Luffy and Satoru, they got to enjoy the benefits.Ace surviving also proved that fate could be changed.The events that transpired on Fish-Man Island were quite different from the original development.Many coincidences no longer lined up.As an insider, Satoru chose to manually connect these coincidences.After all, Sanji was bound to be targeted by Big Mom in the future. Regardless of the circumstances, the Straw Hat Pirates could not possibly befriend the BIG MOM Pirates. It was better to address the issue of Fish-Man Island now... the Ryugu Treasury had been stolen.No need to doubt, Caribou did it, instructed by Satoru.The original words were: if you want to live, go steal the Ryugu's treasure, but don't lay a finger on the mermaid ladies, or I'll mix you with concrete and pour you in a mold.Caribou obediently complied.At this moment, the banquet was coming to an end.Robin went to the Sea Forest to view the poneglyph. She was going to find Neptune to learn more.The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates gathered at the main gate of the Ryugu Palace to rest.Zoro was sleeping, Nami was sobering up, and Usopp was digesting.Sanji had seen too many beautiful mermaids, while Chopper was dutifully observing Sanji's condition with a portrait of Ivankov in hand.Jinbe was also here.Brook was exchanging music with the most skilled singer on Fish-Man Island.Franky went to check on the thousand sunny.It could be said that everyone's actions were perfectly aligned with their personalities.Luffy, Satoru, Ace, the three brothers, and Xiao Bai arrived at the gate last, completing the small gathering of the Straw Hat Pirates.Jinbe explained to everyone who was currently in charge of the Marine, and also detailed how the Blackbeard Pirates were both fighting the Whitebeard Pirates and growing stronger through their Ability User Hunting plan.Upon hearing this, Ace's expression became serious."Yes, Blackbeard has gained the ability to acquire a Devil Fruit Ability after killing the ability user.""This is a very serious problem, but I will definitely kill him to avenge Pops!!"Ace clenched his fists.Satoru patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, Blackbeard won't have the last laugh. I am his nemesis."Ace smiled back, but the bitter thought in his heart—'But you didn't come to help me'—remained unspoken."That's right. Although the Blackbeard Pirates are constrained by Ace and his brothers, Blackbeard is not yet considered one of the Four Emperors. Therefore, the structure of the New World is a Triumvirate of Three Emperors, coupled with the constant clashes between the White and Black Dual Crews.""Brother Ace, you must be extra careful in the future. Blackbeard is not a simple man.""Brothers Luffy and Satoru, your fate is deeply intertwined with Blackbeard. Now is not the time, and you are not yet suited to...""Brother Luffy!! Brother Ace!! Are you even listening to me?!"Jinbe was almost done speaking when he realized Luffy and Ace were too busy eating meat to pay attention to him."It's alright, Jinbe. We're listening."Sanji said.Chopper stated with a look of innocent simplicity, "Isn't the Captain the one who doesn't have to listen?""A Captain is someone who must bear the lives of everyone on the ship!!"Luffy replied while eating, "It's fine, relax. I like meeting opponents and then fighting them to the finish."Ace agreed, "Luffy isn't entirely wrong, and what you said, Jinbe, is also correct. I will be careful, but if I encounter anyone from the Blackbeard Pirates at sea, I will absolutely not let them go!!"Jinbe gave up on the two brothers. Satoru was still the most rational."Yeah, Blackbeard doesn't have three heads and six arms now, does he? If we see him in the New World, we must chop him down to one head and two arms."Jinbe: "..."...Let's temporarily shift our attention to Caribou.He eavesdropped on the conversation between Robin and Neptune.Then he remembered what Satoru had said.Not allowed to harm the mermaid ladies?But he didn't say anything about not harming the Mermaid Princess!!He was quick to interpret things and bold. SatoruClone, who was secretly monitoring him from the bullet in Ace's hand, was speechless when he saw him target Shirahoshi. How dare you!"It seems you really want to turn into concrete."As Ai Baiyun spoke, Caribou immediately stopped. While stopping Caribou, Ai Baiyun didn't forget to connect with the Main Body Consciousness to tell Luffy and the others to come over... "Ah!!!!"This was Caribou's wail as he was thrown down from the Ryugu Palace."Satoru!!"Luffy was already used to seeing two, three, or four Satorus appear simultaneously, and so was everyone else.Sanji was currently even more envious that Ai Baiyun was being held in Shirahoshi's arms. Why wasn't this good opportunity his!!"Sister Satoru... oh, no! Sir!! Thank you!!"Ai Baiyun and the arriving Satoru felt a little guilty; the fact that the guy tried to harm her was partly their responsibility.However, upon hearing Shirahoshi call him'Sister' again, that guilt immediately vanished."Eh, there are two Sister Satoru... Sirs?"Shirahoshi thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes, but there were still two.Satoru announced, "This is a magical trick." He extended his hand, and Ai Baiyun flew over, changing back into a bullet in his palm."That's amazing!!"Shirahoshi was very supportive.Satoru smiled in response and handed the bullet back to Ace.Hearing that Shirahoshi was in danger, the Minister of the Left and Neptune immediately rushed over.Nami wasn't interested in the Minister of the Left's words of thanks, but upon hearing about the RyuguTreasury, her ears reflexively perked up."What? The treasury's wealth was completely looted?!"Then, under Neptune's guarantee that all the treasure would be gifted to them, Luffy, Satoru, Zoro, and Sanji were kicked off the Ryugu Palace by Nami to find Caribou. Internal Haoshoku, terrifying indeed.Ace also followed them down. He had planned to leave anyway, so it was a good time to go together.They quickly found Caribou, who was still unconscious from the fall. Zoro picked him up and shook him like a sack, causing gold, silver, and jewels to spill out of Caribou's body.After packing everything up and preparing to leave, Satoru directed them so that they "just so happened" to pass by Fish-Man Island's Sweets Factory, and "just so happened" to run into members of the BIG MOM Pirates.The first encounter between the Straw Hat Piratesand the BIG MOM Pirates happened right here.
Chapter 822: We shouldn't have to pay to watch, right?As luck would have it, purely by coincidence, Luffy, Satoru, Xiaobai, Zoro, Sanji, and Ace, the group of six who had retrieved the Ryugu treasures, encountered Pedro, a combatant from the BIG MOM Pirates and a "terrifying" lion Mink Tribe member when angered, arguing with the Right Minister on their way to the Fish-Man Island dessert factory… "This is the dessert factory, right?!"As a foodie, after eating the special desserts of Fish-Man Island at the banquet, Luffy also fell in love with them, giving them high praise, saying they were even more delicious than meat.As the hero who saved Fish-Man Island, Luffy's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the Fishmen in front of the plaza.Satoru's attention, however, had long been on Pedroand Baron Tamago."Oh! It's Straw Hat Luffy!!""Is the banquet over? Big Brother Luffy!!"People enthusiastically greeted Luffy."Yeah, I ate until I was stuffed!! The meat was delicious, but Fish-Man Island's desserts are the best!!"His words immediately made the people opposite him and the Right Minister nervous."No! Big Brother Luffy, don't…"Pedro wasn't deaf."Desserts?""Hey, what does he mean by that?!"Pedro demanded an explanation from the Right Minister, then suddenly found Luffy familiar, pulled out a stack of wanted posters, and began to read them."Found him!""Hmm, 'Straw Hat Luffy,' that's right, he's a famous pirate!""Eh? The lion spoke!"Luffy was slightly surprised.Sanji stomped his foot."It's not that strange, we have someone similar where we're from."Pedro ignored them, his gaze sweeping over them."Hmm… and 'Fire Fist Ace'! The Captain of the New Whitebeard Pirates! (The outside world calls them the New Whitebeard Pirates, but Ace and the insiders still maintain their pirate group's name as the Whitebeard Pirates).""Why are you also wandering around here? Don't forget your promise with our Mama!" (Big Mom's subordinates all call Big Mom 'Mama').Pedro's words were directed at Ace, and the promise referred to Big Mom not occupying or attacking Fish-Man Island, but at the cost of Fish-Man Island having to provide 10 tons of special desserts every month.This was the condition for the truce.Previously, most of the Whitebeard Pirates' forces were fighting the Blackbeard Pirates. After weighing the situation, and with Neptune also agreeing to exchange this for peace, Ace accepted the condition.But before Ace could answer, he noticed Satoru next to Ace."Long Hair…""That's right!! I remember now!! The Straw Hat Pirates!!""This one, this one!! The resurrected 'Copy cat Satoru'!!""Latest bounty: 399,990,000 Berries!!"This bounty was special and newly released, so Pedro reported it without looking at the wanted poster.Because of the principle that a crew member's bounty cannot exceed the Captain's, the Marine had indeed raised Satoru's bounty to the limit where it could no longer be increased."Oh, it's actually increased to 399,990,000 Berries? Not bad, not bad. I really want to catch myself and exchange for the bounty."Satoru said with a smile, expressing his satisfaction with the bounty in such a way.Ace and Luffy understood Satoru; Satoru loved to crack such jokes.Ace played along, "Do you need my help?"Luffy was more straightforward, "Haha, congratulations, Satoru."Zoro and Sanji were not satisfied; their bounties hadn't increased! Moreover, this lion mentioned the other three but not them! Was he looking down on them?!However, it seemed Sanji was indeed the only one among the five present without a bounty over 100 million.Thinking of this, Zoro felt much better… Facing five people alone, Pedro's arrogant demeanor diminished slightly.It wasn't that he was scared, but if they didn't get the desserts, they couldn't escape Mama's accountability either.He fell silent, and Baron Tamago spoke."Resurrected… Copy cat Satoru, Mama has a lot of interest in you…""Mama always likes peculiar things like this."Baron Tamago's voice drew the five people's attention. He had been sitting on a raised rock."Hello, you half-baked pirate crews, and the Captainof the New Whitebeard Pirates, who is about to become a half-baked pirate crew. My name is Baron Tamago."No one responded to Baron Tamago's words. They knew that when it came to witty banter, they could leave it to Satoru.Satoru didn't disappoint them."Your appearance certainly proves your last statement.""Compared to peculiarity, I wouldn't dare compare myself to you.""May I ask, how do you use the restroom?""A cup of tea on your head, a nice acrobatics trick. We shouldn't have to pay to watch, right?"Baron Tamago stood up and walked over, leaning on his cane. He was a Longleg Tribe member, very tall with long, thin legs, so he was very tall, taller than Luffy and the others' legs.Zoro scoffed, "Is he a compass?""I can understand why that Blackbeard dislikes you so much, Copy cat Satoru, not a gentleman at all."These were Baron Tamago's first words after approaching.Satoru maintained his smile, "I don't think a gentleman would balance a cup of tea on his head."Baron Tamago stopped pretending, "I like it, what's it to you?!""I heard clearly just now, you, Straw Hat, you said you ate desserts at the banquet? Fish-Man Island's desserts?""Yeah, I wish there was more!"Luffy, unaware of Big Mom's character at this time, replied with a smile."It's a headache precisely because there isn't any more!""Fish-Man Island's desserts are Mama's favorite! So, just wait until tomorrow morning."Baron Tamago made the decision on his own.But that's 10 tons!! 10 tons in one night, how is that possible!! The Right Minister said it would take at least two weeks.Baron Tamago tapped his cane on the ground, "That won't do.""Hey, that rotten egg is a Four Emperor, what's wrong with waiting a bit?!""Is that kid really that narrow-minded? He's one of the Four Emperors, after all."The above were Sanji and Zoro's words.Satoru answered them in his heart: It's precisely because he's a Four Emperor that he can be unreasonable; strength is reason.And Zoro, this egg has been called 'Mama' countless times, where did you get the conclusion of 'that kid'?"What kid?! Mama is a heroic great pirate! I don't think her chest would be small!"Narrow-mindedness and chest size are two different things!!Hearing Baron Tamago's words, Sanji's face flushed slightly, "She's a lady, so what will happen if the desserts are late?"Satoru shook his head, Sanji, why are you blushing like a teapot? You'll regret it! Big Mom isn't much better than Ivankov!!Of course, except when she was young.To Sanji's question, Ace snorted, "That crazy woman is crazier than you imagine!"Baron Tamago didn't start a fight with Ace because of this; instead, he looked at Luffy."You should know the conditions for Fish-Man Island's peace, as Fire Fist Ace's brother."Baron Tamago asked Luffy, but clearly, Luffy hadn't been listening when they were discussing these things."Peace? Isn't Fish-Man Island quite peaceful now?""Hehe, it's peaceful now, but if the desserts aren't delivered when the tea party is held four days later, Mama will definitely send the warriors of the BIG MOM Pirates to destroy this island!!"
WTR-LABI'm in One Piece, I'm Luffy's Childhood FriendCh. 825 / 210539.19%WebWeb+AI#825My rules are rules!Chapter 823: My Rules Are the Only Rules!Baron Tamago stated that if the snacks couldn't be delivered in time, Mama would send people to destroy Fish-Man Island.Luffy didn't like hearing that... "Huh?! Destroy Fish-Man Island!!""Are you idiots? Destroying a whole country just for some snacks!!""This island was just saved!!"Luffy raised his defiant fist high."Buru buru buru..."Just as Baron Tamago was about to speak, the den den mushi resting on the stone he was sitting on rang.Judging by the appearance the den den mushitransformed into—long eyelashes and red lips—it was clearly Mama calling."It must be Mama. I just sent the information over."Pedro said.Mama, one of the Four Emperors, merely calling on the den den mushi was enough to astonish the surrounding Fishmen.Baron Tamago didn't dare answer. "You take it, Pedro. I don't want to get yelled at on your behalf."Pedro nervously reached out his hand, only to hear another hand reach past him, grab the receiver, and answer the call.It was Luffy, without a doubt."Hello, hello!""WHOA!!!!"The first two 'hellos' were Luffy's, and the last was the startled exclamation from Baron Tamago and Pedro, terrified by Luffy's action."You're Mama?!""WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!"Baron Tamago and Pedro were too shocked to say anything but "whoa." As the two tried to snatch the receiver from Luffy's hand, Satoru instantly flashed over."Since this is a conversation between Captains,""you should not interfere."Zoro nodded, showing his agreement.Pedro was about to speak again, but hearing Mamaalready talking on the other end, he didn't dare say anything more."Not Tamago, nor Pedro, so who are you?""I am Monkey D. Luffy! The man who will become the Pirate King!"Whenever Luffy introduces himself, that phrase after his name is essential.Mama didn't care about the three words "Pirate King." Over the years, she had seen and killed plenty of brats who were overly ambitious and didn't know their place.But she paid close attention to the surname Monkey."Monkey... ah, yes... Garp's grandson. I remember now, the brat who turned the war upside down two years ago...""And where is that Copy cat Satoru? The guy who came back from the dead!"Mama suddenly changed the subject, steering the conversation toward Satoru.But Luffy ignored her completely."There are no snacks left!!""I ate them all!!"Mama's reply at that moment sounded like a little girl whose expectations had been dashed."Is there really none left? There should have been 10 tons!"Luffy answered with absolute certainty, "All 10 tons were eaten!!"Luffy's shout and tone made the hearts of the surrounding Fishmen, Baron Tamago, and Pedroleap into their throats.Ace, as his older brother, thought Luffy's actions were perfectly normal."You foolish brat, stop lying! You're trying to cover for Fish-Man Island, aren't you!"Mama saw through Luffy's intention; Luffy wanted to draw Mama's wrath onto himself.Nami, Usopp, and Chopper weren't present, or they would have been crying on the ground again.Even though he was seen through, Luffy didn't panic."But I really did eat them!""And I didn't know they were the snacks promised to you!""Right now we have lots and lots of treasure. Take all of this as compensation for the snacks!"This is just how Luffy is.Since you had a promise, and I broke it, I will take responsibility!The world's only Pirate is like this."Treasure!! Can I eat treasure? What I want are sweet snacks!!""Wait, is that really all treasure?"Baron Tamago asked.Just as Luffy was about to answer, Satoru spoke up."May I speak, Captain?"Luffy immediately ignored Baron Tamago and handed the receiver to Satoru."You!!"Baron Tamago was furious at being ignored, but the greater concern was that if Mama got angry, he would also be implicated!However, the moment he took a step, Xiao Bai blocked his path next to Satoru."What do you want?"Although Baron Tamago was not Mama's biological child, he had achieved the rank of [Knight] within the BIG MOM Pirates. His strength was considerable, which is why he could sense Xiao Bai's aura.One word: Strong!He stopped moving and decided to listen to what Copy cat Satoru had to say.Satoru smiled back at Luffy. Regarding negotiations, it was more convenient for him to handle the specifics after Luffy had settled the major points."Hello there, Four Emperors Mama... Ma'am."Satoru was usually very polite, as impoliteness cost him luck."Who are you now?!"Mama was about to lose her temper, thinking, *Now everyone thinks they have the right to speak to me, huh.*"Montenos D. Bai Yun."Satoru introduced himself.Mama immediately became interested."Oh! You're that Copy cat Satoru who came back from the dead! The Copy cat Satoru who inherited that bastard Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit Ability!!""Most of what you said is correct, but Old Man Whitebeard is not a bastard. If one of the Four Emperors is a bastard, then you..."Ace gave a thumbs up.Satoru's words made Baron Tamago and Pedro's hearts jump into their throats. Satoru's tone was much better than Luffy's, but his actual words were far more terrifying!!!"Mamamama!!""As expected of the fellow who fooled the entire Marine organization, your words are certainly arrogant!"Mama didn't get angry; instead, she laughed."Getting back to business, Mama Ma'am..."The title sounded strange, but Satoru felt it was better than Madam Linlin."We, the Straw Hat Pirates, are a crew that follows rules. Since we ate the snacks that rightfully belonged to you, we will compensate. My Captainhas already offered treasure as compensation.""This is the only way to resolve this.""Do you really want to destroy Fish-Man Island? And never again be able to eat the snacks from Fish-Man Island?"Mama could understand Luffy's meaning, and naturally, she could also understand the meaning behind Satoru's words.Satoru implied that they were a rule-abiding pirate crew operating by the book, and if she refused to accept, she would be the one not following the rules.In response, Mama merely sneered. What kind of damn rules? My rules are the only rules!!As for the issue of having no snacks after Fish-Man Island is destroyed, Mama replied, "Heh, do you think I don't have the recipe for Fish-Man Island's snacks?!"
Chapter 824: I Like KatakuriMama's temper was volatile and unpredictable.The reason she was willing to chat more with Satoru and Luffy was that she felt… curious.Among the younger generation she had met, including her sons and daughters, everyone was afraid of her and respected her. Katakuri was no exception.But Luffy and Satoru were very normal, not afraid of her in the slightest.Was it ignorance, or confidence?Well, the answer was one was carefree, and the other was good at acting.That wasn't important. What was important was that it truly felt novel… "Heh, do you think I wouldn't have the recipe for Fish-Man Island's snacks?!"Satoru's lips curved slightly at Mama's words."But, one of the ingredients in the snacks seems to be a specialty only found on Fish-Man Island, right?"Mama was silent for three seconds before finally speaking."Mamamama, I didn't expect you to care about recipes either."Satoru stated, "I am also a dessert enthusiast."Mama smiled even more happily."Mamamama!!""You brat are quite good, I like you! Be my son-in-law!!"If Whitebeard was always adopting sons, then Mama was always forming alliances by taking sons-in-law. She rarely had her sons marry wives."What!!!"As soon as Mama spoke, everyone present was shocked, including Luffy, Ace, Zoro, and Sanji.Luffy and Ace certainly disagreed. Ace knew this was tantamount to becoming a tool, and if he were abandoned, Luffy naturally wouldn't want his comrades to be taken away.Little Bai was quite calm, still saying, "Little Bai is so popular."The reason he was calm was that he understood Satoru's tone indicated he didn't like Mama. How could he dislike Mama and then marry her daughter?Satoru himself was also very calm."I rely on myself to revive, not bloodline.""I am just an ordinary human, not some special race."The matter of him establishing Totto Land was not a secret, so Mama understood when Satoru said this."A special race is certainly good, but not having one is also fine.""I admire strong fellows.""You brat qualify.""And, your family is not weak!"Family, Satoru couldn't exactly say family. It should be said that the people he was connected to were Whitebeard's successor, Ace's brother, the apprentice of the Red Hair Pirates' first mate, and one of Garp's grandsons.If Satoru was brought over to her side, that would be excellent, a "weapon" that could involve these three powers!Mama wasn't foolish. She didn't like Satoru just because he said he was a dessert enthusiast. As one of the Four Emperors, how could she be so superficial? Although she would lose control and rage, everything Mama did was for food and to expand her influence.Satoru wasn't foolish either. Becoming Mama's son-in-law was not a good thing. Once he lost his use, he could be kicked out at any time."Then can I choose the person I like?"Satoru replied."Satoru?!?"Luffy and Ace couldn't help but speak up. They hadn't expected Satoru to answer like that! Are you serious?!Mama, however, was very happy, thinking Satoruwas a sensible person."Mamamama, of course!""I have many daughters, you can choose whichever one you like. Even if she's already married, if you can prove you're stronger than her original husband, it's not impossible!!"Well, to say such a thing, Mama only regarded her daughters as tools for political marriage.But Satoru's answer was truly "earth-shattering and ghost-wailing"!Suppressing a smile, Satoru said, "I like… Katakuri."Luffy, Little Bai, Zoro, and Sanji didn't know who that person was, but… was that a name a lady should have?Ace was petrified, but then immediately reacted. As expected of you, Satoru, even a Four Emperor dares to be played with.Baron Tamago and Pedro were so surprised they almost jumped up, cursing Satoru in their hearts, 'What the hell are you talking nonsense about!!!'"You…"As Mama just opened her mouth, the receiver in Satoru's hand was snatched away by Luffy."I won't let you be a son-in-law! Satoru!! I'm not afraid of her!!"To explain, Luffy meant: don't become a son-in-law just because Mama is a Four Emperor, to protect everyone!"I'm telling you!! The snacks are gone, and Satoruwon't be a son-in-law. There's only treasure!!"Luffy said firmly into the receiver.Baron Tamago and Pedro were once again on tenterhooks."Mamamama, interesting!! It's been a long time since a brat dared to speak to me like that.""Good!""As you wish, Straw Hat. This time, the target will shift from Fish-Man Island to you!""Monkey D. Luffy, Montenos D. Bai Yun, I remember you… Come on!! Come to the New World!!!"After hearing Mama's words, Luffy's tone was still the same. He didn't like Mama, first because Mamawanted to destroy Fish-Man Island just for snacks, and second because she forced Satoru to be her son-in-law!"Good!! You just wait!! I have something to find you for too!""Someone like you is too dangerous, I can't trust you!""I'm going to punch you in the New World!!""Because Fish-Man Island will be my territory from now on!!"…Let me explain here. Although Fish-Man Islandhad been peaceful for two years under the protection of Ace and his crew.However, Fish-Man Island did not continue to fly the Whitebeard Pirates' flag.Mama made a concession; she didn't want Fish-Man Island, only the snacks. However, the Whitebeard Pirates also couldn't fly their flag over Fish-Man Island. She felt that this would mean she failed to claim the island.She would not allow the word 'failure,' so the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't fly their flag. If needed, her flag could be flown over Fish-Man Island.Neptune politely declined.So, currently, Fish-Man Island was without a flag and without a designated territory.Given this, Luffy had the right to claim it, as the one who saved Fish-Man Island.But his words were also a complete declaration of war against Mama's Big Mom Pirates. Territory disputes are one of the many reasons for wars between great pirates… "What a terrifying day, met a lot of lunatics."Carrying two bags of treasure, Pedro couldn't help but complain on the way back."Pedro, be a gentleman.""However, they really are lunatics, daring to speak to Mama like that.""But… that white-haired guy, he's not simple."Baron Tamago commented on Little Bai.Pedro strongly agreed, "You think so too, right?""Facing him, I always feel an inexplicable fear.""Even if I try hard to suppress it, that inner sense of dread just won't go down.""Although it's better than facing Mama, this indeed means his strength is not weak."Baron Tamago took off his top hat, took a sip of tea, and said, "Hmm… no need to worry.""You said yourself, it's better than facing Mama.""With Mama around, we don't need to worry about these things.""Let's worry about what kind of snacks to bring back so Mama won't be so angry."Not so angry meant that Mama would be angry no matter what.
Chapter 825: Heading to the New WorldHe handed the treasure over to Baron Tamago and Pedro, drew Big Mom's wrath upon himself, claimed Fish-Man Island as his territory, and declared war on the BIG MOM Pirates.After completing these minor tasks, Luffy led everyone back to Ryugu Palace.And Ace also bid farewell to everyone.He had no objection to Luffy claiming Fish-Man Island as his territory; in fact, he was delighted that it angered Big Mom.Due to Whitebeard's death, the Whitebeard Pirateshad to gradually concede to Big Mom regarding Fish-Man Island, which was already frustrating. Luffy helped him vent some of that frustration.However, he also knew that this significantly increased the danger of Luffy's New Worldadventure, but he believed Satoru would assist Luffy well.As the successor to his Pops' abilities... "He gave all the treasure to Big Mom!!!"When Satoru and the others returned to RyuguPalace, Nami, Neptune, and the Left Minister reacted strongly upon hearing this.Neptune and the Left Minister's eyes widened because the Left Minister had placed a bomb inside the treasure chest's jade box.Ten years ago, the jade box was stolen by Hody Jones, who took the dangerous drug from it. The Left Minister then placed a bomb in the empty jade box, intending to blow up any future thief.Unexpectedly, Luffy gave it to Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors!!!What's the difference between this and a sneak attack?!However, Satoru knew that this jade box would play a significant role later on."She said if there were no snacks, she'd destroy Fish-Man Island!! Is that person crazy?""If it were meat, it would be understandable, right?! Isn't it!!""She even wanted Satoru to be her son-in-law!! By the way, what's a son-in-law?!""So don't worry, I've completely fallen out with her!!"Luffy said with righteous indignation, trying to reassure everyone.They'd be crazy to be reassured!!!"With a Four Emperor?!!!"Usopp, Chopper, Franky, and Brook were so scared their tongues became like snakes and their eyes like snails.Robin, however, smiled, unperturbed as if the sky were falling. She understood that this was indeed something Luffy would do.But even Jinbe couldn't remain calm."He had a huge fight with Big Mom?!!""That's terrible..."Shirahoshi was very innocent; she only thought Luffy was amazing."Mr. Luffy is so incredible."Usopp complained all the way, "That's not the point!"Shirahoshi cried, "Mr. Long-Nose is so mean!"Usopp was flustered and immediately apologized.Jinbe rubbed his forehead. He had thought Satoruwould be relatively more rational, but it seemed there was a reason he could become brothers with Luffy and Ace."It seems we need to break away from Big Mom's protection before things get complicated...""In any case, you absolutely must not provoke Big Mom any further."Jinbe warned.Usopp said they'd be crazy to provoke her further, but Satoru shook his head."That's not how it works.""The New World is the territory of the Four Emperors. When we enter the New World, whether we provoke Big Mom beforehand or not, we will eventually face a Four Emperor.""It's not about us not provoking Big Mom anymore that will solve the problem, Jinbe.""It's that Big Mom won't let us off. While we might not be targeted as soon as we enter the New World, it's only a matter of time."Usopp and Chopper completely felt the world turn dark."The Four Emperors, those are the Four Emperors!! We're doomed!!!"Jinbe agreed with Satoru's words.There are two ways to survive in the New World.Either be strong enough to fight the Four Emperors.Or join a Four Emperor.Look at the people they meet later in the New World: Caesar is funded by Big Mom, Doflamingo is funded by Kaido.Zou was destroyed by Jack, the King of Disaster, just for offending Kaido."Brother Satoru is right, but for now, it's not the most suitable time for you to fight Big Mom."Satoru nodded in understanding. It's fine, they still have to go to at least three places in the New Worldbefore they meet Big Mom... Everyone either supported Luffy's actions or were scared to death.Nami praised Luffy with a gentle smile."A man should never back down, and sometimes fighting is unavoidable..."Then, the next second, her inner Haoshoku erupted."But why did you give her everything!!"Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were instantly beaten black and blue and knocked out."Is that the problem here!!"Usopp, Chopper, Franky, and Brook complained.As for Satoru, facing the incoming punch, he pulled out a small pouch."I kept a small bag."With a whoosh, the bag was snatched by Nami. She opened it and saw the glittering gold, and her mood improved significantly."Satoru is still the most thoughtful."Her expression... The Usopp quartet complained again, but dared not speak it aloud; the three lying on the ground were the best proof."Alright! Let's set off for the New World!"Luffy got up, still bruised and swollen, and announced with no morale, raising his hand.The future feels very dark... Everyone set sail again, bidding farewell to Fish-Man Island.They received an item from the Right Minister: the Three-Needle log pose.The principle is that it can point to three islands separately. The more the pointer shakes, the higher the unknown and danger of the island.Nami and Usopp immediately cried out, "No!"Unfortunately, it was too late; Luffy had heard it."The middle one is shaking the most! It looks so interesting!!"Nami and Usopp cried, feeling that the future was even darker.Finally, everyone made a pinky promise with Shirahoshi, vowing to take her to see the forest on land someday.Ace, Marco, and Jozu watched from the shadows, not coming out to see Luffy off."Aren't you going to see him off?"Marco asked.Ace shook his head, not speaking.Marco smiled and patted his shoulder... After exiting the main channel of Fish-Man Island, the thousand sunny began to surface.Luffy recalled everything they had experienced."After passing through this seabed!! It's the strongest sea in the world!"Everyone expressed their opinions.Satoru said the road ahead would be even more perilous.Zoro said that's even better; he'd cut them to shreds!Brook missed Laboon.Nami was full of confidence, saying she could take everyone wherever they wanted to go!Franky followed Nami's words,Sanji said there was no need to worry about food.Chopper also chimed in, saying if they wanted to get hurt, they should go right ahead, he would heal them!Usopp shouted that the brave warrior of the sea was with everyone.Compared to everyone's shouts, Robin just smiled faintly.After receiving everyone's responses, Luffy burst into laughter, jumping up with his arms and legs spread wide."Let's go!! Brothers!!""To the New World!!!""Woooooh!!!"
Experience"...""...""Is there something on my face, Little Xiaobai? Did you bring me here just to... stare at me like this?"Inside Satoru's room on the observation deck, Xiaobai questioned Satoru, who was staring intently at him.In response, Satoru stared at him, fixed his gaze intensely, took a sip of water, and then slowly replied."First, I didn't bring you here; you followed me yourself.""Second, why I'm staring at you, don't you understand?"The classic rhetorical question: Don't you understand?Xiaobai: "..."..."What... am I supposed to understand?""Give me a hint. With a hint, I'll have the confidence to say it."Xiaobai patted his chest.With that lifeless look, Satoru knew he was pretending."The hint is to look at yourself in a mirror.""..."Xiaobai fell silent. Was Satoru... insulting him?Satoru turned his head to look out the window. Although they were still deep underwater and everything was pitch black, he pretended there was a view to admire.""It's fine. I'll rest for a bit. Take your time thinking."...The Kamabakka Kingdom, located on Momoiro Island in the Grand Line, is beautifully known as the Second Daughter Island.It was also the place where Sanji trained for two years.Being there now, with the Okama behind him eyeing him covetously, Sa Bai Yun truly understood why Sanji called it hell.Uh... actually, besides the lack of sunlight, hell is... better than this... Why did Blackbeard not become one of the Four Emperors, and why did the Revolutionary Army still move their headquarters from Baltigo to the Kamabakka Kingdom?This seemed to be a historical change.After the Marineford War, Blackbeard offended both the Marine and the Whitebeard Pirates.On one side, he had to deal with the Marine; on the other, he was fighting Ace and the others.Having no choice, Blackbeard took a huge risk to pull the Revolutionary Army into conflict for the sake of stable development.The final result was that either all three sides targeted him, leaving him walking on thin ice.But the Marine still chose to attack the Revolutionary Army. In the eyes of the Marine, the Revolutionary Army posed a greater threat than the current Blackbeard.Just like that, under Blackbeard's interference, a major battle erupted between the Revolutionary Army and the Marine.Baltigo was destroyed, the Revolutionary Armysuffered significant losses, and they moved their headquarters to the Kamabakka Kingdom.Although Blackbeard gained a chance to breathe and develop, congratulations, he also earned the hatred of another major power on the sea.Even though Dragon knew that the greater cause came first, he constantly tripped Blackbeard up when the latter tried to expand his territory later. Therefore, even though Blackbeard obtained a second devil fruit and plundered many devil fruits for his subordinates, he still wasn't considered one of the Four Emperors."Although I despise that guy Blackbeard, I have to admit he is a man of strategy. That's precisely why I want to kill him.""It's a pity I only obtained two fragments."Sabo chuckled. Fragments? That kind of name truly was... very Satoru in style."Hee-haw!! That Blackbeard guy even tried to steal my Ability back then! I was really underestimated!!"Ivankov stomped his foot on the table, looking very angry."Sister Ivankov's Ability is very effective in terms of treatment.""Blackbeard is terrified of dying.""Let's not talk about him anymore. Thinking about him makes me nauseous.""Then what do you want to talk about, Satoru?"Dragon spoke up. He was sitting in the main seat, maintaining a constant expression."First, let's talk about why Uncle Kuma agreed to become a Pacifista? Sister Ivankov, you should know, right? But I still can't figure out this problem.""Also, let's discuss the World Government. I have some information that should be useful.""Furthermore, I have some suggestions regarding what happens after the revolution succeeds. Of course, they are just suggestions; whether they are effective or not is up to you, Uncle Dragon, to judge."Regarding Satoru's words, the three people present didn't find it strange. Although Satoru was young, he was... a very mysterious person who always did the unexpected.Regarding Bartholomew Kuma's matter, Dragon and Ivankov both looked at Sabo.Sabo: "...""Let me tell you, Satoru. Uncle Kuma... did it to protect his homeland, and also for his daughter, Bonney.""Bonney...""That name... Glutton Bonney?!! The one who was one of the Supernovas two years ago?!"Satoru was a little surprised.As for the original story progression, he had only seen up to the Wano Country arc and didn't know what happened afterward.Holy cow, so Bonney was Uncle Kuma's daughter!"This matter is very complicated."Sabo replied, his eyes filled with pity.Pity? Satoru didn't quite understand, but he didn't speak. Sabo then continued to tell Satoru about Bartholomew Kuma's half-life experience, which he himself had learned from Dragon and Ivankov... Forty-seven years ago, Bartholomew Kuma was born in the Sorbet Kingdom in the South Blue. His father, Krap, was a member of the buccaneer tribe, a race possessing Giant Race blood who had committed great sins against the World Government, and whom the Celestial Dragonsconsidered a race of born slaves.Therefore, from birth, Bartholomew Kuma was a slave.Thirty-eight years ago, when Bartholomew Kuma was nine years old, he was captured and taken to God Valley, where he, along with other slaves, the indigenous people of God Valley, Ivankov, and Ginny, became prey for the Celestial Dragons' Human Hunting Tournament.And that was when the Rocks Pirates, the Roger Pirates, and Garp had their decisive battle.Hearing that the Celestial Dragons were present now, it seemed there was a lot of hidden information.The Celestial Dragons were generous; they treated Devil Fruit as objects for casual experimentation. They disdained eating the Devil Fruit but were curious about their Abilities. At the Human Hunting Tournament, two Devil Fruit appeared as prizes: the Paw-Paw Fruit and the Azure Dragon Fruit.Bartholomew Kuma, Ivankov, and Ginny arrived at the hidden location of the devil fruit according to their original plan, but Charlotte Linlin suddenly appeared and snatched the Azure Dragon Fruit. To protect everyone, Bartholomew Kuma decisively ate the Paw-Paw Fruit and used his Devil Fruit Abilityto rescue over 500 people.Hearing this, Satoru thought "Mama mia!" internally. Was God Valley that lively back then?Sister Ivankov was also born a slave? He didn't know Ginny, but he could guess she was related to Bonney. Was she Bonney's mother?After escaping God Valley, Bartholomew Kuma and Ginny returned to his homeland, the Sorbet Kingdom, and grew up there. Thirty years ago, when he was 17, he became a Priest, using his Devil Fruit Ability to eliminate sickness and fatigue for the elderly in the kingdom.But the pain that was repelled didn't disappear; Bartholomew Kuma himself experienced it bit by bit, week after week.What a... kind person. Too kind.This was Satoru's assessment upon hearing this.Twenty-five years ago, Ginny proposed marriage to Bartholomew Kuma, but Bartholomew Kuma refused due to issues with his own bloodline.Twenty-two years ago, the King of the Sorbet Kingdom issued a new policy, dividing the country into two halves to reduce the Heavenly Tribute. This meant abandoning the other half of the territory, declaring externally that it was not part of their country or an affiliated nation's land, and thus not under his jurisdiction. However, despite saying this, the people in that half of the land were still required to pay money to raise the Heavenly Tribute.The kingdom's castle was in the North, so naturally, the King couldn't abandon the North. Thus, the South, where Bartholomew Kuma was located, was abandoned. Bartholomew Kuma was arrested for defying the King's order, but he did so voluntarily to protect the other residents, otherwise, all the Soldiers in the entire kingdom combined wouldn't have been able to handle him.Later, Dragon and Ivankov led the Freedom Fighters to attack the Sorbet Kingdom. Bartholomew Kuma and Ginny joined the Freedom Fighters from then on, and Bartholomew Kuma also became the new King of the Sorbet Kingdom.Because of the buccaneer tribe bloodline issue, the World Government pinned the tyranny of the former King onto Bartholomew Kuma. Hence, Bartholomew Kuma's title is: [Tyrant].After that, the Freedom Fighters evolved into the Revolutionary Army, and Bartholomew Kuma became one of the Army Commanders.Twelve years ago, which was when Satoru first met them, the East Blue Unconfirmed Terminal Burning Incident occurred.At this time, Bartholomew Kuma was 35 years old."And ever since Uncle Kuma and Ms. Ginny became members of the Revolutionary Army, they separated to participate in revolutionary activities across the world.""And shortly after I joined the Revolutionary Army, news suddenly arrived that Ms. Ginny had been captured and abducted by a Celestial Dragon to be his wife...""Pfft...""What?!!"Hearing this, Sa Bai Yun nearly choked himself to death on a mouthful of black tea.
Chapter 827: A Terrible ExperienceThe Revolutionary Army's headquarters moved from Baltigo to the Kama Kingdom.In the conference room, which was the kingdom's castle hall, Satoru's clone, Sa Bai Yun, sat with the three current high-ranking officials of the Revolutionary Army.Sa Bai Yun proactively brought up the reason why Kuma voluntarily underwent modification.Sabo stated that the matter was very complex and proceeded to tell Satoru about Kuma's life story, the beginning of which was quite normal.Sa Bai Yun learned that Kuma was a kind person who had risen from hardship.It was also because of his excessive kindness that he did not accept Ginny's marriage proposal.Then Ginny was abducted by the Celestial Dragonsto be their wife.Upon hearing this, Satoru had a complete 'black man asking why' face:????This plot twist almost broke his waist... "Huh? Wait a minute, what do you mean Ms. Ginny was abducted by Celestial Dragons to be their wife?"Satoru asked again in disbelief.Sabo looked at Dragon's and Ivankov's reactions; Dragon still had a stern face, and Ivankov wasn't as emotionally volatile as usual.Finally, Sabo nodded affirmatively."Then Bonney is...?"Satoru pressed.Sabo lowered his head slightly, "She is Ms. Ginny's daughter...""No?"Satoru asked cautiously.As brothers, Sabo understood his meaning and, instead of answering, shook his head.Satoru meant, was Bonney not Kuma's biological daughter?Sabo's shake of the head indicated the answer to the question.Satoru's worldview was shattered, but not completely broken; in his previous life, he had seen many worldview-shattering news online, shattering and mending, mending and shattering, so his worldview was quite resilient now.He just didn't expect that Kuma, the ShichibukaiTyrant Kuma!What kind of terrible experience is this?!"So, when Ginny was captured, why didn't you save her?"After a moment of thought, Satoru still asked this impolite question.This was not something Sabo could answer; he was just a child when he joined the Revolutionary Armyat that time.The scene fell silent."For the greater good?"Satoru said with a slightly helpless tone.Dragon spoke."At that time, only the news of Ginny's capture came through.""Kuma wanted to save her, even if it meant going alone, but I persuaded him not to. Ginny was captured, not killed, so the World Governmentprobably intended to use her as a bargaining chip.""But after waiting for three days, we only received Ginny's suicide note. In the letter, she said that she chose to commit suicide so as not to be used as a bargaining chip by the World Government to threaten us, and that we shouldn't mourn her.""Kuma was lost for a year because of this, and just when he had finally recovered a year later, Ginny, who had supposedly died two years ago, sent another letter.""Hmm?"Satoru uttered a confused sound.Sabo continued where Dragon left off."At that time, Ms. Ginny sent a message explaining that she had been forced to marry a Celestial Dragon.""She felt she had wronged Uncle Kuma and dared not return to face him, fearing that he would risk his life for her, so she lied to everyone that she had committed suicide.""But now she was abandoned by the Celestial Dragons because she contracted a strange illness, and she hoped Uncle Kuma would not come looking for her."Satoru: "..."She hoped he wouldn't look for her, so why send a letter... "But Uncle Kuma guessed that Ms. Ginny would definitely return to the Sorbet Kingdom, to the church where they used to live.""Indeed, when Uncle Kuma arrived at the church, he saw Ms. Ginny, covered in stone and on her last breath.""And by Ms. Ginny's side was her daughter, Bonney.""Uncle Kuma sorrowfully bid farewell to Ms. Ginny, promising her to take care of Bonney, and spent the following days shuttling between caring for Bonneyand fighting battles.""But later he discovered that Bonney had inherited the same illness as Ms. Ginny, so he withdrew from the Revolutionary Army to care for Bonney. Later, he learned from a doctor that this disease was called Sapphire Scale, and patients would eventually turn into stone, inside and out, and die.""Infants with this disease cannot live past 10 years old and cannot walk under the sun, as sunlight exposure accelerates the onset of symptoms.""This is a terminal illness, with no cure."Satoru sighed, "Poor Uncle Kuma.""Now, let me guess?""An incurable terminal illness, yet Bonney is still alive and was freely walking in the sunlight on Sabaody Archipelago two years ago.""Why?""Because Uncle Kuma used his Paw-Paw Fruit Ability to repel Bonney's illness.""He bore the disease in her place..."Sabo also sighed and nodded."That's right. Knowing he didn't have much time left, Uncle Kuma returned to the Revolutionary Armywith Bonney.""He hoped that in his remaining days, he would become a Shichibukai, an undercover agent, and finally contribute to the Revolutionary Army."Ivankov suddenly interjected."That scoundrel! He only told Dragon about his terminal illness at the time, not even me! What did he take me for?!"Sabo continued from his words, "We only heard about the terminal illness from Uncle Dragon two years ago.""But unexpectedly, an incurable terminal illness could be treated through modification.""Uncle Kuma met Dr. Vegapunk in the Marine, and the doctor stated that Uncle Kuma's body could be modified into a machine to treat Sapphire Scale.""And the doctor himself was under the World Government's surveillance.""Naturally, the World Government discovered the modification.""To survive, and to prevent Bonney's identity from being exposed, Uncle Kuma chose to be modified, becoming the first experimental subject of the Pacifista.""And it was a modification that erased memories..."
Chapter 828: That's Because I Trust You"And it's a modification that erases memories and self-awareness.""And so, Uncle Kuma survived, but he became a robot without self-awareness, a Pacifista PX0.""When Bonney was ten, because Uncle Kuma never returned and even became a Shichibukai, she didn't understand. After coincidentally eating the Age-Age devil fruit, she secretly ran away to sea and became a pirate.""Satoru should know what happened next."At this point, Sabo finished recounting Bartholomew Kuma's life story of the past 47 years.Sa Bai Yun could only sigh with one word: miserable.Heaven truly hated him.Born a slave in childhood, he finally escaped that identity and gained a new life, only to be forced to resist under national oppression. The person he loved was forced to marry someone else, leaving him with only one child after her death. It must be said, his love was truly profound. But in the end, his child also contracted a terminal illness, and he bore the illness for his child. Although he didn't die, he became a robot without self-awareness... A figure in the ranks of top masters was ridden like a slave for fun... This is practically a melodrama!!The kind of super bad movie!!!...Sa Bai Yun fell silent.Sabo glanced at Dragon, his eyes questioning, and Dragon imperceptibly nodded.Sabo then told Satoru, "We have always planned to rescue Uncle Kuma and are looking for a suitable time."Sa Bai Yun nodded, "I should be staying here for a long time in the coming period, if you don't mind and no accidents occur.""Regarding the plan to rescue Uncle Kuma, please feel free to command me if I can be of any help."Sabo returned a smile.Ivankov said, "Hmph hmph, then we would be very happy, Satoru boy, you are the man who broke into Impel Down and successfully escaped."Sa Bai Yun said not to praise him, as he would get shy."This body of mine is just a clone, don't expect too much from me to play a major role."Dragon spoke again, "It's good enough that you have this intention. I thank you on behalf of Kuma."Then, Dragon stood up."I'm going to get some fresh air; you all continue chatting."...5000 meters deep underwater, the thousand sunny was still surfacing.Satoru, who had been resting with closed eyes, opened them and spoke before Xiao Bai could."When I dealt with Vander Decken I on Fish-Man Island, he summoned a helper from hell, Davy Jones' butler, Old Ghost.""We had a good relationship; after a friendly exchange, he returned.""Vander Decken I's mission was twofold: first, to capture the Mermaid Princess for Davy Jones, and second, to collect sunken treasures from the seabed.""To prevent me from killing Vander Decken I, Davy Jones personally spoke out to stop me and told me some things.""As for what it was, you can guess."After speaking, Satoru closed his eyes again... On the balcony of the third-floor council hall in KamaKingdom.Dragon left the table and walked there, saying he was going to get some fresh air.There was no wind outside, but the moment Dragon stepped out, a breeze began to blow.Dragon told Sa Bai Yun, Sabo, and Ivankov to continue chatting, but Sa Bai Yun chose to follow him to the balcony."My next question is very presumptuous.""Uncle Dragon, regarding Ms. Ginny being captured and forced to marry a Celestial Dragon back then, did you... know about it from the beginning?"As Sa Bai Yun uttered these words, the breeze grew stronger, rustling his hair."Back then, Ginny exchanged herself for the lives of her comrades.""They all told me that the Celestial Dragons took a liking to Ginny, and Ginny sacrificed herself in exchange for their survival, so they weren't all killed.""That's why, three days after the news arrived, they were able to return with the farewell letter Ginny wrote.""It was I... who was incompetent. Kuma and Ginny were veterans of the Revolutionary Army, yet I couldn't do anything for them."Sa Bai Yun walked to Dragon's side and looked into the distance."Why didn't you send troops to rescue Ms. Ginny at that time?"Sa Bai Yun directly went for the kill."The Revolutionary Army's development back then was far from what it is now. If we had sent troops to Mary Geoise, we would have certainly lost.""Sending Kuma alone would also be suicide.""Ginny also left a letter for me, asking me to hold Kuma back.""Do you think... my decision back then was wrong? Do you think I was heartless?"Dragon asked the young man beside him, who was decades his junior."Let me tell you a story, Uncle Dragon.""Legend has it that in a certain era, there were three powerful figures who brought chaos to the world. They continuously developed, eventually becoming the three strongest forces of their time, establishing three kingdoms. However, there could only be one emperor, and the three constantly fought battles. The strategies involved were incredibly brilliant, so much so that I cannot describe them in detail.""What I want to talk about is one of these kings whose second brother, while defending a city, was defeated due to... various reasons. He was eventually captured by an enemy state but preferred death over surrender. Whether by suicide or murder, he ultimately died in battle.""To avenge his second brother, the king disregarded numerous dissuasions, thinking what use was a vast empire if it couldn't avenge his brother.""He gathered all his forces and launched a full-scale attack on the enemy state that killed his second brother, but unfortunately, he was ultimately defeated by the enemy's fire strategy.""From then on, his country's power declined, becoming the first of the three kingdoms to perish.""But despite his failure, this king's benevolence and brotherly affection live on for eternity."At this point, Sa Bai Yun finished his story."He was a true hero with genuine emotions.""If he were in power in this world today, I think the Revolutionary Army wouldn't even need to exist."This was Dragon's evaluation of the king who avenged his brother in Satoru's story."However, it's different, Satoru. The rulers of this world today are like rotten roots; if they are not severed, the entire world will eventually rot.""I chose this path, and I must be cautious. I cannot afford to be impulsive.""What I want is change, not eternal glory. Even if I die bearing infamy, if I can change this world, I will have no regrets."Sa Bai Yun smiled. During the Marineford War, he had said that Dragon was a born leader, possessing great love, but this great love was destined to be ruthless towards those close to him."I understand, Uncle Dragon.""I only have one question.""What if it's Luffy!""If he falls into the hands of the World Government, facing certain death, in critical danger, what... would you choose?"Sa Bai Yun turned to face Dragon, his eyes firm as he asked.Dragon also turned, meeting the young man's gaze."I... choose revolution!"Dragon made his decision.Satoru wasn't disappointed; instead, he smiled.This meant that Dragon treated everyone equally, which was the mark of a great leader.Dragon saw Sa Bai Yun smile and found it somewhat incredible."You're not disappointed? As a father, I said such words."Sa Bai Yun explained his understanding, telling Dragon that this was how he treated everyone equally, the sign of a great leader.Dragon suddenly felt as if he was being taught by this young man."No, I still can't achieve what I once was.""When I told you I'd choose revolution.""It's because I think the Revolutionary Army is no longer what it once was. I would choose a new leader, leave behind the sparks, and then go alone to rescue Luffy. The outcome would depend on fate.""Or, if Luffy... dies on the spot, I would abandon everything and fully commit to the revolution. If the revolution continues into my old age, I would still go alone and personally avenge him with all my might."Sa Bai Yun wasn't surprised by Dragon's answer."If the first answer was the mark of a great leader, then this second answer is your expression as a father, Uncle Dragon.""To forget emotions, to have a clear mind, that is something only a sage can achieve.""I'm very glad, Uncle Dragon, that you still have human emotions."Hearing this, Dragon smiled, the biggest emotional fluctuation Sa Bai Yun had ever seen from him."So, you always thought I was heartless before?"Satoru returned a smile, "Sort of. For example, during the Marineford War, you only sent Sabo to help. I'm still very sad about that."Dragon said, "That's because I trust you."
Chapter 829: I Need to Borrow Your Life"That's because I trust you.""Stop it."Sa Bai Yun's response to Dragon's praise was anything but polite.Dragon paused, then laughed loudly.Ivankov and Sabo, who were peeking from behind, were startled."It's my first time seeing Uncle Dragon laugh so happily."Sabo said.Ivankov covered his surprised mouth, though his hand couldn't fully cover his large mouth."It's not just you; I've known Dragon for decades and have never seen him like this.""Satoru boy is truly an amazing man~""Looking at the two of them, one might mistake them for father and son. Both have long hair, but the difference is that Satoru boy is more approachable and smiles often, while Dragon always has a stern face."...The laughter gradually faded until it stopped, and Dragon stated seriously,"I truly believe in you.""I believe you can help Luffy.""I had a premonition when I met you with Sabo, and it was confirmed in Loguetown."Dragon's words reminded Sa Bai Yun of past events.Indeed, he had made a bet with Dragon in Loguetown, wagering his life on Luffy.If Luffy needed it, he would give it."I don't boast.""I can only say that I will try my best to prove my words. Of course, it's best not to die, although... I've already died once."Sa Bai Yun meant that he would do his utmost to help Luffy achieve his dream. If it ultimately required his life, then so be it. Of course, it would be best if it didn't come to that."I'm glad Luffy has comrades like you."Dragon replied.Sa Bai Yun, however, shook his head, "It's fortunate that Luffy has comrades like me and others."Hearing this, Dragon smiled without speaking. Sa Bai Yun then asked, "Is the wind done blowing? How about we continue our discussion?"Dragon's lips curved slightly, "You're the first person to rush me while I was enjoying the breeze.""So?""So, let's go. It's indeed done blowing."...Sabaody Archipelago - Rip-off Bar.The people who had been knocked out gradually woke up."What happened? Drunk silly? I didn't drink that much..."Their minds were hazy; they only knew they'd passed out while drinking.When they sobered up, they saw an old man and a young man sitting at the bar. The old man wore a hood, and the wrinkles on his hand holding a wine bottle showed his age.The younger one had hair that was neither long nor short, with the back covering half his neck, enough to tie a small braid.His bangs slanted to the left, covering his eye, and he wore an eye patch over his left eye with a skull pattern on it.His hair was red, dyed.He had a simple, rectangular ear cuff on his right ear.He wore a grey short-sleeved T-shirt with black long leather pants, combat boots, and two guns tucked into his waist.Satoru didn't know how to comment on the outfit Shakky had chosen for him, and he refused her offer to apply black lipstick on him.In any case, it really wasn't his style; he even felt a little disoriented looking at the person in the mirror.Who are you?!It must be a good disguise for hiding his identity.As the sobered-up patrons could tell."Hey, kid, you weren't here just now, were you?""What happened to us?"Military Bai Yun turned to show them his face, "You were already lying down when I arrived. It seems the boss's liquor has a strong kick today."The effect was good; these people didn't recognize Satoru's identity."Isn't this liquor the same as usual?"These people were confused.Shakky said, "This brother is right; this liquor is specially made and three times more expensive than usual.""Three times!!""We only wanted regular liquor; we didn't ask for this!"These people grew anxious.Shakky still smiled, "But you've already drunk it."With Shakky saying that, they dared not refute. The outlaws of Sabaody Archipelago all knew how formidable this bar was; if they caused trouble, they wouldn't see tomorrow's sun.Either annihilated or captured.Now you know how the Rip-off Bar got its name, right?"Forget it! Forget it!!""Bad luck, just pay."The outlaws obediently paid, which was uncommon.Military Bai Yun gave Shakky a thumbs-up.Until a swordsman came to the bar to pay, Military Bai Yun instantly reached out and grabbed his arm.The swordsman's face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent."Something wrong?"Military Bai Yun returned a smile, released his hand, and bent down to pick up a Berry note the swordsman had dropped."You dropped your money."The swordsman glanced at the money, then at Military Bai Yun. Just as he was about to reach for the money, Military Bai Yun instantly drew the pistol from his waist with his other hand, pressing the muzzle against the swordsman's chin. Carlo's reaction was also swift; he drew the sword from his left hip and placed it against Military Bai Yun's neck."What do you mean?"The swordsman asked, still appearing quite calm."The bounty criminal Carlo, who massacred a village last month, now has a bounty of 106 million Berries.""I want to join the Marine, and I need to borrow your life."Carlo laughed, a confident and arrogant laugh."Do you think ordinary bullets can kill me? Even with Armament Haki, they can't, unless you fire three consecutive shots. Do you think your three shots are faster, or my sword?""You can try to see who's faster. If I win, you die; if you win, I die. It's a simple principle."Stopped🔊
Chapter 830: No Need to Praise My GenerosityInside Shakky's Rip-off Bar on Sabaody Archipelago.Military Bai Yun, a transformed Clone Bai Yun, was in a standoff with Carlo, the bloodthirsty swordsman with a bounty of 106 million Berries.The two faced each other, with Rayleigh behind Military Bai Yun.Military Bai Yun held a gun in his right hand, the muzzle pressed against Carlo's chin.Carlo held a sword in his right hand, his arm angled, the blade resting against Military Bai Yun's neck in a half-swinging posture.Carlo was confident that Satoru's bullet, even if hardened with Armament Haki, couldn't kill him.Military Bai Yun declared there was no need for idle talk, just act. Whoever was slower would die... whoever was slower would die.Next, it was a test of their respective skills.The other patrons in the bar watched this scene with great interest.Who would win?If it weren't for the suddenness of the event, they would have already started betting.Compared to Carlo's intense focus, Military Bai Yunstill had a smile on his lips.The entire bar was quiet, watching with bated breath.Suddenly, a customer who was about to pay but was interrupted by this sudden event, too focused on Military Bai Yun and Carlo, dropped a coin-shaped Berry worth "one Chopper" onto the floor.In the silence, only a "clang~" was heard, the sound of the coin hitting the wooden floor.It was like a signal to act.A murderous intent flashed in Carlo's eyes. He forcefully swung his sword down, the blade sinking several centimeters into Military Bai Yun's neck.Seeing this, Carlo smiled; he had won!But before his joy lasted half a second, he heard another sound:"Clang~"Carlo hadn't cut Military Bai Yun's neck; he had only cut the afterimage left by Military Bai Yun's swift dodge.Military Bai Yun's dodging method was simple: he just turned his body. He turned his body, but Rayleigh was right behind him. Facing the incoming blade, Rayleigh simply extended an index finger to block it, which was the origin of the second "clang."Carlo's eyes widened. First, he was surprised that his sword was caught by a single finger! Second, Military Bai Yun's speed was incredibly fast!And although Military Bai Yun had turned his body, his right hand hadn't moved at all, still pressed against Carlo's neck.Carlo reacted, immediately concentrating all his Armament Haki to harden his chin.Then, a "bang!" the sound of a bullet leaving the chamber.But it wasn't the pistol in Military Bai Yun's right hand, which was pressed against Carlo's neck; it was the one in Military Bai Yun's left hand. As mentioned before, Military Bai Yun had two guns tucked into his waist.Carlo hardened his chin with Armament Haki, and Military Bai Yun seemed to say, "I never said I was going to shoot your chin."Military Bai Yun held the gun in his left hand, the muzzle angled upwards. The bullet flew out, passing over his right arm, accurately hitting Carlo's sword-wielding arm. The bullet embedded itself in the flesh but didn't penetrate through.Carlo cried out in pain and loosened his grip on the sword hilt.Seeing this, as if rehearsed, Military Bai Yun moved swiftly. He tossed the pistol with his left hand, the pistol spinning into the air, while his left hand reached up and grabbed the hilt of Carlo's loosened sword.While his left hand moved, Military Bai Yun still didn't fire the gun in his right hand. Instead, he kicked Carlo, sending him stumbling backward.At the same time, both hands moved. The angled muzzle of his right-hand gun pointed forward, and his left hand, gripping Carlo's sword hilt above his right arm, swung horizontally. Facing Carlo, this horizontal swing naturally struck with the blunt side of the blade.When his palms were aligned one above the other, Military Bai Yun finally pulled the trigger of the pistol in his right hand.Watching this in slow motion, Military Bai Yun's left-hand sword slid over the bullet. When the bullet exceeded the length of the sword, it was perfectly aligned with the sword tip, and this alignment was precisely where Military Bai Yun intended the bullet to strike.From Carlo's perspective.As he retreated, the image in Carlo's eyes magnified. He saw the muzzle of Military Bai Yun's right-hand gun pointing at him, at his forehead!Carlo's strength was decent, and he once again concentrated Armament Haki to harden his entire head.How foolish, he fell for it once and still believed it.With a bang, Military Bai Yun adjusted the muzzle extremely quickly half a second before firing. The bullet flew out, accurately hitting Carlo's heart. It embedded itself in the flesh but did not penetrate through.Carlo's strength was considerable. As he said during their initial standoff, with his physical toughness and Armament Haki, Clone Bai Yun's single shot might not necessarily kill him.Yet, even so, he was outplayed by Military Bai Yun, dying from a direct shot to the heart... Carlo's eyes widened, and the vitality in his entire body rapidly dissipated.While he still had consciousness, he saw that the moment Military Bai Yun's bullet hit him, his left hand, after swinging, immediately flung the blade to the ground. The blade diagonally pierced the floor, and then he raised his arm and caught the pistol he had thrown up earlier.Carlo wanted to curse, "So cool, you really know how to show off!" but he could no longer speak. He fell straight forward, blood pooling on the floor.Carlo was dead.The entire place remained silent.Although described at length above, the entire process took no more than three seconds.From the sound of the coin dropping to Satorucatching the pistol he had thrown up with his left hand, only three seconds had passed.Carlo's sword swing blocked by Rayleigh's finger, half a second.Military Bai Yun shooting Carlo's wrist, half a second.Military Bai Yun throwing up the pistol with his left hand, half a second.Grabbing Carlo's loosened sword hilt and simultaneously kicking Carlo, half a second.Finally, swinging the sword with his left hand, firing the gun with his right, discarding the sword, and catching the gun—all of this took one second. Of that, firing the gun and swinging the sword happened simultaneously, taking half a second, and the last half second was used to catch the falling pistol.Exactly three seconds, no more, no less.Anyone in the room with weaker strength couldn't see it clearly. They just heard a clang, then two tight bangs, and Carlo fell dead.Others might not have seen it clearly, but Rayleighand Shakky did.Shakky wore an appreciative expression.Rayleigh's lips curved slightly as he raised a silver flask and took a sip... "He's dead!""What happened? Did you see clearly?""I only heard two bangs!"Silence was followed by an outburst of confusion."Shhh."Military Bai Yun shushed them. With Carlo as an example, everyone in the room quieted down again."Don't make noise. You all continue to pay, just pretend nothing happened."Everyone: "..."A corpse is lying there! Blood is still flowing! Pretend nothing happened?! Are you saying we're blind?!"Alright!"Everyone obediently continued to pay.They might pretend nothing happened, but Shakkycouldn't."For the floor stabbed by the sword and the blood-soaked floor, I'll charge you, little brother, 1 million Berries for repair and cleaning fees."The Rip-off Bar lived up to its name.Military Bai Yun didn't answer. Instead, he walked over to Carlo, carefully stepping around the blood, and unfastened the money pouch from his waist. He opened it and looked inside.There was a wad of 10,000 Berry notes.Military Bai Yun took out the money. Seeing this, Shakky thought she had asked for too little.Military Bai Yun cheerfully pulled out eighty notes and put them back in the money pouch. He took the remaining 108 notes, walked back to the bar, and placed them on the counter."The extra eight notes are a tip. No need to praise my generosity."Before Shakky could react, Military Bai Yun went back, grabbed one of Carlo's feet, and dragged him away.He smeared the blood evenly, leaving a trail of bloodstains.Shakky regretted even more that she had asked for too little for the cleaning fee, but she still said,"Thank you for your patronage."Her answer was Military Bai Yun raising and waving his hand.
