"Since you've become my maid, I won't mistreat you…"
Shaya smiled, then waved his hand as Vivi and Robin's eyes widened.
"Ah!!"
Vivi instantly exclaimed, and even the calm Robin couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.
Shaya had merely waved his hand, and now the spacious palace was covered in gold, with golden mountains like small hills shining exceptionally brightly under the lights.
Robin estimated it to be at least ten billion!
"Lord Shaya, I… I…"
Thinking of the empty national treasury and the impoverished citizens, Vivi's eyes instantly turned red with tears, deeply moved.
For the Alabasta Kingdom, this was wealth that saved their lives and their nation!
"These treasures are useless to me; leave them in this country."
Shaya didn't care about the gold, because there were too many precious metals inside the moon!
The moon's surface, and several kilometers beneath it, were mostly adsorbed dust and gravel, with extremely low or no gold content, but the interior held countless types of metals.
As the lord of the moon, Shaya could refine tons of precious metals at will.
"Lord Shaya, thank you."
Vivi was truly touched. Shaya's indifferent words were like refreshing rain, nourishing her parched heart, as if today was her lucky day... Seeing Vivi's eyes full of emotion, and the threads of affection weaving within them, Shaya couldn't help but shake his head.
Alas... the lives of rich people are just this simple, unadorned, boring, and uninteresting!
...Half an hour later
Outside the palace, at Shar Tavern!
More than a dozen main cadres and dozens of thugs from Baroque Works all bowed down!
Because their vice president, Miss Allsunday, told them that Crocodile, who was lying miserably unconscious on the ground, was their president, and that he had surrendered... Bones and the others had no choice but to believe it, because Hawkeye's black blade and Anas's fist, as big as a sand pot, were so obvious.
"Get up, it's time to go back..."
Looking at the sky outside, Shaya's left eye inexplicably twitched.
Damn it, it's really not safe outside. It's better to go back to the moon first.
However, the next moment, Mihawk and Shaya looked towards the door almost simultaneously...
"Oh ho ho..."
A brilliant golden light shone in the sky, like a sun. In that golden light, a figure rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed.
Then, like a golden avenue, it spread out outside the door, attracting the gaze of countless people outside, and gradually formed a human figure.
He had black curly hair and wore a yellow and white striped suit!
A circle of beard was around his facial contours, he was tall and thin, and wore the Marine's cloak of justice behind him, with golden cuffs and shoulder emblems.
Shaya narrowed his eyes slightly, and Robin almost exclaimed!
One of the World Government's highest combat powers!
"Admiral... Kizaru!"
Someone on the street cried out in surprise, instantly causing a huge commotion!
Before, there was the Shichibukai Hawkeye's arrival, and even a Shichibukai battle.
Now even a Marine Admiral had come; for many in Alabasta, this was truly a first!
"Oh my god, big news!"
Even the reporters were uncontrollably excited, desperately pushing through the crowd, snapping photos here.
For this news, let's set a small goal first: sell it for 100 million!
"Oh, has Crocodile been defeated?"
Kizaru looked at Shaya, who was calmly sitting in the main seat, and a grin spread across his lips.
He showed a look of alarm, his expression very exaggerated: "It seems you've taken in Hawkeye, and you're trying to take in Crocodile, too? You're truly..."
"So scary."
Kizaru was all smiles on the surface, but inwardly he was cursing!
This time he wasn't joking. With a Hawkeye plus an existence whose strength was unknown but possibly stronger than Hawkeye, Kizaru was extremely wary.
Damn Sengoku, he definitely needed a raise when he got back. Garp and the others should hurry and catch up!
"Borsalino, what are you doing here?"
Mihawk took a step forward, drawing his sword in readiness. He wouldn't allow anyone to disturb Shaya.
Seeing Hawkeye ready to act at any moment, Kizaru immediately raised his hands and shrugged: "I'm just passing by here; I have no intention of fighting you all."
Stall, that's the only word!
In short, don't expect Kizaru to fight two big shots alone!
"Admiral? So you are one of the strongest in this world?"
Anas looked at Kizaru with burning eyes, then turned and said respectfully, "My Lord, although this yellow-skinned monkey looks unimpressive, he is an important cadre of a major power. I think he..."
"Is qualified to be your lackey!"
What the hell!
You're the lackey!
Kizaru's eyelid twitched. He wished he could blast this dog-headed man with a Laser Beam right now. He hated nothing more than being called a monkey; your whole family are monkeys!
"Anas, you're right..."
Shaya nodded in satisfaction, looked at Kizaru, and said, "A Marine Admiral's salary isn't high, and you have to run errands every day. Life is tough. How about following me?"
Bones and the others' hearts skipped a beat. Oh my goodness!
This new boss is really ambitious. Not only did he take in a Shichibukai, but he also wants to take in an Admiral?
"Oh? How much is the salary?"
Kizaru's tone sounded as if he was intrigued. He took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of dead fish eyes, adding to his lewd appearance.
"Snap!"
Shaya didn't answer, instead snapping his fingers. To Kizaru's surprise, a giant gate suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tavern, and an extremely ancient and heavy aura emanated from within.
The giant gate was hundreds of meters wide, pushing the crowd outside away. Its height was immeasurable, as if it pierced the sky.
This astonished Kizaru. The intelligence said it was only tens of meters wide and a hundred meters tall, didn't it?
Are you kidding me!
