"What are you doing here?"
After chatting for a while, Rayleigh looked at White Zetsu's clone very seriously.
Taking the North Blue as Empire territory.
Making people all over the world list it as a forbidden area, one can imagine the Empire's power.
Not to mention White Zetsu has status himself, Rayleigh wouldn't provoke even a small soldier of the Empire.
"Not looking for you..."
White Zetsu's clone ignored Rayleigh and looked at Shakky wiping a wine glass: "One sentence, you and all your intelligence systems, hand them over to me to manage."
In other words.
Isn't that submitting to the Empire?
Rayleigh couldn't help clenching his fists.
He had never encountered such dominance in his life, very unaccustomed.
Shakky said calmly: "Okay, but I have a request."
Rayleigh couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although Shakky's choice was the most rational, it was hard to accept.
But he couldn't refute.
"Say it, but don't go too far..." White Zetsu's clone took a sip of wine.
He was not surprised by Shakky's choice.
According to understanding, Shakky/Shakuyaku, a pirate of the Rocks era, was chased by Vice Admiral Garp when she was young.
Looking young.
Actually quite old.
Wouldn't be ignorant like a small pirate, only knowing how to shout and act brainlessly.
"I want to stay in Sabaody."
Shakky said seriously, then pointed at Rayleigh who was drinking sullenly: "He, also wants to join the Empire."
?
Rayleigh was confused.
Dragged him into it.
"Is he useful?"
White Zetsu's clone glanced at Rayleigh. Is this the Pirate King's Vice Captain?
Now just a sloppy old man.
Wait.
White Zetsu thought of something and looked at Rayleigh: "Proficient in three types of Haki, right?"
"Good that you know!"
Rayleigh said, unwilling to show weakness.
"That's good. Have to say three types of Haki is a good ability, especially Observation Haki..."
It is said top-tier Observation Haki can predict the future. White Zetsu's clone said lazily: "So, go keep Shiki company, teach the Holy Soldiers three types of Haki together."
"Within ten days, report to the North State."
"That's it, I'm leaving."
Bang!
As the words fell.
White Zetsu's clone turned into smoke and disappeared.
"Just left like that?"
Rayleigh was in a trance for a moment, then looked at Shakky and said in a deep voice: "Let's... run away."
The Empire is too domineering. Rayleigh dared not imagine life after joining the Empire.
Definitely more constrained than the Marines at Marineford, not free.
Conflicting with Rayleigh's philosophy of freedom.
"Although he left, he definitely left a tracking ability we can't detect."
"Where can we run? In such a hurry to see Roger?"
Shakky lit a cigarette on her own and said calmly: "Don't flee like a stray dog, learn to obey."
Boom!
Conqueror's Haki erupted!
Tables, chairs, and wine bottles in the tavern shattered one after another, extremely shocking!
Rayleigh shouted angrily: "I, Silvers Rayleigh, have never suffered such grievance in my life. The Empire is even more bastardly than that bastard Roger!"
"Dark King Rayleigh, would rather die than submit!"
Truly.
A resounding man!
Reappearing the domineering style of a great pirate.
Until.
Shakky said faintly: "All wine bottles are broken, ten billion Berries, no credit allowed!"
Rayleigh: "..."
Momentum all disrupted.
But Rayleigh also understood Shakky's decision.
"Sigh..."
Rayleigh sighed and comforted himself: "To be honest, I'm quite interested in the Empire. Maybe the salary there is high, and there's wine to drink every day, right? Thinking about it this way is quite good too."
"Time to change a way of living."
Shakky smiled.
Rare for Rayleigh to be open-minded.
Not afraid of death.
But such a brilliant era, if not seen with one's own eyes, it would be too regretful.
"Roger, wish you have wine to drink in the Underworld."
"I will watch this new era for you, see how brilliant the Empire era is..."
Rayleigh poured a glass of wine towards the East Blue.
This wine.
Bidding farewell to the past.
Yearning for the future.
Underworld!
Undead Island.
Sinner Roger's Undead Tavern.
Inside the small broken tavern.
Full of people, former Marines, pirates, in the same room.
"Pfft pfft pfft, what kind of wine is this, so awful..."
Kong just took a sip of wine and spat it out immediately, almost dying again.
Rocks said disdainfully: "This new old guy is annoying even after death. Be grateful there's wine."
"I actually think Roger's wine is not bad, at least better than urine..." Unrestrained words came from Kozuki Oden's mouth.
Roger couldn't help laughing: "You guy, comparing it to urine, have you drunk it? Hahaha..."
Many people also laughed loudly.
Kozuki Oden drank a mouthful of wine, smiled arrogantly and shouted:
"Let my life be a funny story, for people to drink wine with, I ask for nothing else. Boiling oil and hot soup, what can they do to me? Thousand boilings and hundred boilings add flavor!"
Boom!
A beam of light flew over.
Directly pierced through Kozuki Oden's forehead.
Just like the scene where Oden finished shouting and was shot by Kaido before dying.
The whole place fell silent instantly.
"D-Died?"
A great pirate went up to check and found Oden breathless.
Crack!
Oden's soul glowed gray, covered with cracks like glass, and shattered on the spot.
Bits of light dissipated.
Something that never happened on the Underworld's Undead Island. Everyone looked at the tavern door.
No one present sensed the attack in advance. How terrifying.
"So noisy."
Lucian put down his hand.
Lucian won't judge Kozuki Oden as a person, but making noise here after dying once, he's sick.
Konan glanced at Kong and said indifferently: "It seems that people who die in the Blue Sea Realm can only come here if their spiritual will reaches a certain level."
"The rest of the souls can only wait for death muddledly below."
Cruel contrast.
Top-tier powerhouses, coming to the Underworld, also have a pretty good life.
Can drink and chat?
"You!"
Seeing Konan, Kong's pupils contracted, then sneered: "Didn't expect you died too. Looks like the Holy Empire was destroyed, right?"
Holy Empire?
Roger and the others were stunned.
Isn't that the country Kong has been nagging about, destroyed by a little girl?
Made everyone laugh for days.
But now there is a big problem.
That extraordinarily handsome man, exuding terrifying majesty invisibly, who is he to completely kill Kozuki Oden?
Do you really think hatred disappears after death, and a cup of wine resolves grudges for peaceful coexistence?
Stop joking. Some top pirates present wished they could hack Kong and some top powerhouses belonging to the Celestial Dragons to death on the spot.
But couldn't do it.
On Undead Island, they can't be killed at all.
The scene just now told them that Kozuki Oden was completely dead, with no chance of recovery the next day.
Boom!
Another beam of light that no one could react to pierced through Kong's forehead.
Crack!
Soul shattered.
Dissipated abruptly.
"Pathetic ants."
When Lucian's words rang out, everyone reacted, standing together on guard.
"...Not a soul body!"
Roger said in a deep voice. This sentence instantly attracted greedy eyes from almost everyone.
Not a soul body?
Then how did he come to the Underworld?
If they capture the other party, can they ask the reason, can they use this to leave the Underworld and return to the sea?
Right, capture him!
"Hahahahaha, what an exciting discovery, I'm so excited I want to cry."
Rocks laughed wildly and domineeringly, resonating with everyone.
Underworld... Hell.
Dark and sunless, full of dead silence.
Only Undead Island has some strange plants, adding some green to the Underworld.
Countless muddled souls below are waiting for death, and the strong souls on Undead Island are also waiting for death.
Because here.
There are no souls from two or three hundred years ago, meaning they can't live for three hundred years on the island either.
Few people are reconciled.
"I am a bit disappointed."
Lucian, who was originally interested, suddenly lost all interest seeing the arrogant souls one by one.
"Soul Cage!"
Lucian's Reiatsu turned into a cage, sealing every strong soul on Undead Island one by one.
The only value.
Becoming the Empire's three armies' training ground, and nourishment.
Hum!
A spatial portal opened.
"Eh? Madara, there is a spatial door here?"
"You're almost sticking to me, get away from me, idiot!"
"Marshal Hashirama, the spatial door has the Empire's emblem, it should be opened by His Majesty."
"Minato is right, His Majesty is guiding us."
On a life-bearing planet in the universe where the Ninja World is located, the Empire's Army, Navy, and Air Force, who just killed two Otsutsuki and swept the planet, all looked at the huge spatial door.
"Your Majesty? This concubine hasn't seen you for several years, miss you very much."
Kaguya blinked and rushed into the spatial door instantly.
Once inside.
Kaguya felt extremely dark, but the figure ahead was as dazzling as the sun, mesmerizing.
"Your Majesty..."
Kaguya immediately trotted over, looking up with full expectation: "Did you miss this concubine?"
"No."
Lucian said indifferently.
"Ah, this concubine is so sad..." Kaguya said, throwing herself into Konan's arms, tears falling.
Konan chuckled lightly: "Sister Kaguya, His Majesty praised you yesterday as the Empire's number one wise person."
"Really?"
Kaguya's eyes were full of surprise, then she said modestly: "No, this concubine is just a little bit smarter than others (pun on 'billion points')!"
"..."
A billion points?
Lucian smiled.
Once she opens her mouth, the whole segment collapses!
Swish swish swish swish!
Hashirama, Madara, Minato, Izuna, Sakumo, Jiraiya, Nagato, Kisame, Yahiko, Nawaki, Sasori, Terumi Mei, Lu Bu, Thor, and others arrived one after another.
"Empire's Three Armies, greet His Majesty, Emperor of the Holy Empire."
Everyone saluted and shouted in unison.
Lucian nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. Leave some clones to organize the taken life-bearing planet, main bodies rest here for a while."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
At this time, everyone looked around and was instantly delighted; such rich spirit particles.
Unfortunately.
Except for the Ninja World, the life-bearing planets found so far have no Pure Land or the like. Souls dissipate directly after death, constantly dissipating out of the world, resulting in thin spirit particles.
This world is not bad.
Nothing is more comfortable than sitting and leveling up.
Konan asked curiously: "Your Majesty, are you going into seclusion for a while too?"
Remember, His Majesty just came out of seclusion not long ago.
"Mmm, after all, the Empire has just started."
Lucian's pursuit of strength never stops. Only in this way can he live better and protect his Empire.
"Pass down the order, stabilize the North State. Transgressors will be killed without mercy."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
