As Tushan, with all attributes maxed out, his Conqueror's Haki had naturally reached its peak!
The obstruction from this group of ants in front of him was truly vexing for Tushan.
He was about to unleash his Conqueror's Haki to deal with them all.
However, just as Tushan was about to make his move, another voice rang out from the crowd.
"Heh, it seems the title of Navy Hero doesn't intimidate you."
"But what if I told you that Miss Makino is the girlfriend of the current Four Emperors' Red-Haired Shanks? Do you still want to cause trouble?"
"That guy is different from the Navy, you know. Pirates are ruthless killers!"
The villager shouted loudly, clearly trying to use the name of the Four Emperors to suppress this 'madman' Tushan.
Before Tushan could respond, Makino's face changed. She pulled her hand from Tushan's grip and muttered, "Don't say such things. At most, we're just friends!"
"Hahaha, Miss Makino, even if you're just friends, I doubt he'd let this guy take you away."
The villager scratched his head and smiled, then looked at Tushan.
Since they had brought up the name of the Four Emperors, Tushan, if he had any sense, should end this farce.
However, Tushan merely raised an eyebrow.
"Shanks?"
"Tell him to come find me, and we'll see if I beat him up."
"Uh..."
The villagers exchanged glances at Tushan's reaction.
If the Navy didn't care about such trivial matters, Tushan could ignore it, but Shanks was a bona fide super pirate!
Yet even someone like that couldn't intimidate Tushan...
"Madman."
"He's truly a madman!"
The villagers shook their heads, clearly having labeled Tushan as such.
Makino, standing nearby, was also displeased upon hearing Tushan's dismissive attitude toward Shanks.
It wasn't that she liked Shanks.
It was just that she was familiar with Shanks and knew his strength.
This unknown guy, who didn't take anyone seriously, was indeed the braggart everyone said he was...
With this thought, Makino finally lost her patience.
"Alright, Tushan, I understand your intentions."
"But the tavern has many things that need my help. As for your proposal... maybe I'll consider it when you defeat the King of the Near Sea."
Makino looked at Tushan calmly.
"The King of the Near Sea... Heh, isn't that just a refusal?"
"The King of the Near Sea is a major overlord of these waters. Anyone who can defeat such a monster is a renowned powerhouse!"
"Letting this guy go defeat the King of the Near Sea is like sending him to be fish food, hahaha!"
"But I wonder if this madman dares to go?"
"..."
The villagers knew that Makino had essentially refused.
She had even given Tushan a way out.
If Tushan didn't have the strength to defeat the King of the Near Sea, he should leave now to save face...
As for Tushan actually being able to kill the King of the Near Sea... no one present believed it!
If he truly had that strength, he would have understood Shanks and Garp's power better and wouldn't have uttered such laughable nonsense earlier.
All eyes were on Tushan, seemingly waiting for his response.
Of course, many of those eyes regarded Tushan as a fool.
No matter how tough his words were earlier, asking Tushan to deal with such a monster would surely put this braggart in a difficult position.
Most people thought this way.
After Makino finished speaking, Tushan paused, then asked, "Really? Makino, if I defeat the King of the Near Sea, you'll be with me."
"I said consider."
"Alright, then you cheer up. I have to go now, bye."
Makino said helplessly, then turned and walked into the tavern, no longer entangled with Tushan.
Watching her departing figure, Tushan paused for a few seconds, then expressionlessly walked away amidst the surrounding chuckles.
"Hahaha! Who knows where that guy wandered off to."
"Otherwise, do you really expect him to defeat the King of the Near Sea?"
"Miss Makino is so kind, letting such a madman retreat gracefully..."
"But that guy earlier was hilarious, wanting to teach the Four Emperors' Shanks a lesson and dismissing Mr. Garp. What a fool!"
"Hahaha! Alright, alright, let's disperse. There's definitely no follow-up."
"You can't expect that idiot to really come back after defeating the King of the Near Sea, right?"
"Hahaha..."
The previously noisy tavern entrance quickly returned to normal.
Clearly, no one took the earlier farce seriously.
...
However.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Suddenly, a violent rumbling erupted in front of the peaceful tavern!
It was as if a meteor had crashed at the entrance, causing the entire tavern to shake violently.
The patrons inside the tavern immediately stopped what they were doing and rushed outside to see what had happened.
However, as soon as they stepped out, a dozen figures froze in place!
Accompanied by the sound of bottles dropping to the ground.
The scene seemed eerily silent!
In front of the tavern, five massive Sea Kings were piled together, resembling a towering mountain!
And at the peak of that mountain.
A figure stood with arms crossed.
His gaze looked down toward the tavern.
He spoke softly, "Excuse me, could you heat up some food for me?"
"..."
"Tu... Tushan!!"
"That guy!! It's that madman!"
"No way, did he really deal with the King of the Near Sea?!"
"And five of them!!"
"No, the point is, how did he bring five Sea Kings here?!"
"This guy..."
Finally, someone recognized the figure as Tushan, the protagonist of the earlier small farce!
However, this time, Tushan's appearance immediately sparked a wave of astonishment!
The sight before them was simply too shocking!
At the tavern entrance.
Makino also quickly walked out.
Upon seeing the five different Sea Kings ahead, she covered her mouth in shock.
Then her gaze moved upward, meeting the eyes of the handsome young man at the top, who was smiling.
Before she could speak, Tushan spoke first, "I was delayed a bit."
"Because I guessed you might like pink more, but pink Sea Kings are really hard to find..."
"Heh, can you consider it now?"
