"Wuwu ah ah ah ah..."
Red Hair's cries became even more tragic, enough to make anyone who heard them shed tears!
Buggy's heart seemed to be touched. He couldn't help but angrily scold, "Bastard! What are you crying for! So what if you're poor! So what if you can't afford food! I'll give it to you!"
Red Hair's body stiffened, and he continued to cry mournfully, "Wuwu ah ah ah, I'm not worthy, you're not anyone to me, wuwu ah..."
"Bastard!"
Buggy was completely enraged. He kicked Red Hair and said, "Have you forgotten our brotherhood! You, a dignified Four Emperors, can't even support your crew; people will look down on you!"
"Wait for me, I'll go get you some money!"
Thump, thump, thump!
Watching Buggy run into the ship's cabin, furious at his perceived failure, Red Hair and the others were all stunned!
Wow, we were just bored and putting on a show, Buggy, you're too invested, aren't you?
"Shanks, you're really finished this time. Buggy will hate you to death..."
Beckman also hadn't expected this outcome. He had originally thought Buggy truly hated Shanks, but he didn't expect him to be so loyal.
A miser actually willing to take out money, what a true brother!
"I wasn't wrong either, we are indeed poor..."
Red Hair chuckled, his eyes full of emotion, but his pirate crew was indeed the poorest among the Four Emperors, no, the poorest pirates in the entire New World.
However, taking out a few hundred million was still very easy.
Buruburuburu!
The den den mushi rang. Beckman picked it up, and a voice immediately came through.
"Mihawk has appeared, in Alabasta!"
Hearing this, Red Hair immediately perked up and quickly said, "That close? Is the news confirmed? How long ago did he arrive?"
"He just arrived not long ago. He probably won't leave there today."
"Good, thank you, Morgans. I'll head over there now!"
"Hmm, same old rules, just have someone send the money over."
"Okay, this news is very timely. Within three days at most, one hundred million will be sent..."
Red Hair happily hung up the phone. Having money certainly made things easier. Then he looked at everyone and said, "Brothers, Mihawk has been found, Alabasta, let's go!"
"Huh? What's wrong with you all?"
Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Red Hair's body stiffened, and he rigidly turned his neck... "Shanks!!!"
Buggy was seen holding a rotten wooden box, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Wild rage dyed his entire face red, and veins bulged all over his body.
What did he hear?
Shanks, who was just crying about being poor, spent a hundred million to buy a piece of news?
Buggy felt his intelligence had been insulted!
"Hey, hey, Buggy, listen to me..."
"Listen to your sister, I'm going to kill you!"
...Shaya, who was wandering around Alabasta, didn't know that two major forces were already heading towards him.
If he knew, he would definitely set up Anywhere Doors to see if he could trick everyone into them.
Shaya and the two went straight to the royal palace, because there was a Poneglyph there. Even though Shaya wasn't interested, if he encountered it, it had to be his!
"That person is..."
On the street, a blue-haired girl saw Shaya and the two.
She took a deep look at Shaya, then looked at Mihawk, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "The world's strongest swordsman? Why is he here?"
Thinking of Mihawk's Shichibukai status, the girl's eyes dimmed a little.
She had just suspected that the mastermind behind Baroque Works was Crocodile, which meant that the nation's disaster was likely brought about by Crocodile. But now, another Shichibukai had arrived.
"Are they going to... the royal palace?"
Looking at the direction Shaya and the two were heading, the girl couldn't help but become anxious. Pirates were cruel; who knew what would happen if Mihawk entered there.
Thinking of this, the girl ran towards a small path, taking a shortcut to the royal palace.
"Hmm? Is that her?"
Shaya inadvertently glanced and saw the girl's blue hair. Is it her?
"My Lord, have you taken a liking to that girl? I'll go catch her and bring her back!"
Following Shaya's gaze, Anas's eyes immediately lit up, and he instantly made a decision.
The world is my master's, and the beauties of the world are also my master's!
"No need..."
Shaya said calmly and continued walking.
That girl should be Vivi, but... she's only 16, so she needs a few more years to grow up!
Isn't the mature Robin more appealing?
Ten minutes later.
Inside the palace!
Shaya sat on the throne with his eyes closed, his expression placid!
King Cobra, along with Igaram, Pell, Chaka, and others from the guard, stood trembling with fear.
Not to mention Shaya, the aura of power emanating from Mihawk made it almost impossible for everyone to breathe, and Anas's savage gaze filled them with dread.
"Hawkeye Mihawk is here, make way!"
Upon reaching the palace gates, Mihawk's single sentence made all the guards abandon their resistance and respectfully invite the three in.
This made Shaya feel incredibly proud. He thought about how exciting it would be when a Four Emperors was clearing the way for him.
"Sirs, may I ask why you are here?"
Cobra asked cautiously. The Shichibukai held immense deterrent power, and he had noticed something unbelievable.
Among the three, Shaya was actually the one in charge, and Mihawk was just... a subordinate?
This nearly scared Cobra to death. He racked his brain but couldn't figure out who could make Mihawk his subordinate. Could it be... a high-ranking Celestial Dragon?
"Waiting for someone!"
Anas replied casually, too lazy to waste words with these people.
But seeing the empty hall, Anas narrowed his eyes and said, "Prepare a banquet, and some enjoyable entertainment, dancers, maids, and so on, understand?"
Anas knew Shaya didn't need much, but anything that could bring Shaya a little joy, he would do with all his heart.
"This guy..."
Shaya didn't know what to say, only that... he was very much to his liking!
The moon was tough!
Do you know how he spent the last five years?!
The surface was barren, and the interior was either non-humans or robots. It was no life for a human, and certainly not the life he yearned for.
Not a single young woman, it was despair-inducing!
"Ah? Yes, Sir..."
Cobra struggled but ordered his subordinates to comply. The palace was too poor, and this banquet would only worsen the already dire financial situation of the palace.
A dozen minutes later.
The empty hall began to liven up. Fine wine and delicious food filled the air, and beautiful women danced.
"Alas, what a waste..."
Cobra looked at Shaya, who was tasting wine on the throne, and Mihawk and Anas, who were standing guard, and felt a pang of distress.
With so much food, drink, and entertainment, and you're just drinking wine by yourself, isn't it all going to waste?
"Father King!"
A clear voice rang out, and everyone looked over.
A beautiful young woman in a blue crystal princess dress walked gracefully, with azure hair and delicate features. Despite her tender age, she possessed a unique charm.
They really came to the palace!
Vivi looked at Shaya, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in her heart.
Perhaps only this combination could save her country!
"Why are you here? Quickly, greet the sirs..."
Cobra immediately stood up and led the young woman to Shaya, apologizing, "Sir, this is my daughter Vivi. I apologize for disturbing you all."
"This is your daughter?"
Anas carefully looked at Cobra and Vivi, silently muttering about genetic mutation.
Then he looked at Vivi and said, "Princess of the kingdom, not bad. You are qualified to be my master's maid!"
Mihawk's eyelid twitched instantly. What a sycophant!
Shaya also raised an eyebrow!
Where could you find a subordinate like that?
Truly... well done!
