People are pirates, modeling kings

"You are the only royal palace I have seen that does not use walls to isolate the common people."

After seeing the palace not far away, Shanks spoke.

"I don't need that thing here. Although we are separated by a wall, what separates us are two worlds. If things go on like this, the world inside does not understand the world outside. People in the outside world hate the people in the world inside. Do you think this world can be different? Big mess?"

Chaldea said with a smile.

These words shocked Ben Beckman, and then Ben Beckman said:

"It seems that you are also very knowledgeable about kingdom governance."

No wonder this man can be admired by so many people in Xihai. It seems that benevolence and righteousness are widespread in the country he governs.

Along the way, he could see that Chaldea managed the Kingdom of Dis in an orderly manner, and the smiles on the people's faces were not fake.

"I just try my best to make people's lives better."

Chaldea chuckled, and then the three of them walked towards the main hall.

This is his true intention. Although he is also a bastard who does all kinds of evil, and is involved in illegal industries such as arms, drugs, and pornography, he has never actively harmed civilians.

And he also tried his best to make the lives of civilians as good as possible within the sphere of influence he ruled.

The guards greeted Chaldea and turned their attention to Shanks and Ben Beckman.

Now the two of them are not well-known, and no one knows them.

"How's it going? Isn't it nice here?"

After a while, Chaldea led the two of them into the kingdom hall, and then said with a smile.

"Who would have thought that the guy I met three years ago would become a big shot in the West China Sea three years later."

Shanks said with a smile, then looked at Chaldea: "But I am very interested in your identity as the Dark Emperor of the West Sea."

Although he learned about Chaldea's deeds over the years from Degas, he was more interested in how Chaldea unified the dark world of the West Sea.

"Really want to know?"

Chaldea chuckled and looked at Shanks.

"Of course." Shanks nodded.

"Many things in the dark world are secrets. If you want me to tell you, then you have to stay with me for a few years."

This is the first time Chaldea has extended an invitation to the redhead.

"Uh……"

"You know, I'm only interested in being a pirate."

"I like free sea adventure. I am not interested in any commercial industry or kingdom government."

Shanks is a man with a free and easy personality. Of course, such a man will not be interested in the industry created by Chaldea.

"Men should run to the sea, Chaldea, you won't always stay in the Western Sea, right?"

Shanks asked again.

"Of course I won't stay here forever, but it's not time to leave yet."

Chaldea smiled and said, of course the Grand Line will go, and it will also go to the New World, but the industry in the Western Sea is not yet fully mature.

After the Xihai industry matures, he can shift the focus of his business to the New World.

As for when to wait, although Chaldea cannot be precise, it should not be long.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you to my chamber of commerce headquarters."

Not long after that, Chaldea brought red-haired Shanks and Ben Beckman to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

After the visit, Chaldea set up a dinner to entertain the two of them.

After three rounds of drinking, all three of them were drunk.

Shanks told Chaldea his experiences in the past three years. After leaving the East China Sea, he began to look for companions everywhere. After finally searching the East China Sea, he tried his best to go to the North Sea and met Ben Beckman behind his back.

Ben Beckman was the first person to join the Red Hair Pirates. At that time, Red Hair invited the famous sniper Jesus Bu in the East China Sea, but Jesus Bu refused due to family reasons.

This is what he heard from the redhead.

At this time, the sky was completely dark.

"Chaldea, let's have a test and see if your strength has improved much in the past three years."

Shanks said suddenly, then stood up and held the Western sword Griffin in his right hand.

"I also want to see how your strength has progressed in the past three years."

Chaldea said with a smile.

Ben Beckman was also curious about the specific strength of the man praised by Shanks.

So the three of them came to the courtyard of the headquarters.

Shanks clenched the hilt of the sword with his wrist, then drew out the Western sword and rushed towards Chaldea.

He slashed with his sword, and there was a strong sound of breaking through the air around the blade.

Chaldea made a move with his right hand, and a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

Shanks knew that long sword, it was a weapon made by Chaldea using the fruit's power.

The sword collided with Griffin.

boom!

The moment the swords clashed, a spark exploded, and then Chaldea felt a strong force coming from the palm holding the sword.

"Yes, my strength has increased a lot."

Shanks said with a smile, and then he exerted force on his arm and pressed the Western sword down hard.

Chaldea's sword swung to the right, and the two swords immediately separated.

Bang bang bang!

Immediately afterwards, the weapons of the two people continued to slash, and there was a violent collision in the night sky, and the splashing fire was like stars twinkling.

At this time, Shanks' body retreated impressively, and then the Western sword in his hand suddenly swung in the air, and a surging slash flew towards Chaldea.

After seeing this, Chaldea showed no signs of evading and used the weapon shape again.

A huge shield suddenly appeared in his left hand.

The shield was held in front of him, and the slash was directly blocked.

He has a long sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand. At this time, offense and defense are integrated. The long sword cuts through the air, and a sword light appears and shoots away.

After seeing this sword light, Shanks was slightly stunned. He could feel the terrifying impact and sharp cutting power contained in the sword light.

Shanks raised his Western sword and blocked it.

After a bang, the sword light was completely blocked.

But just when he was about to fight back, he found that a metal chain had arrived in front of him.

In desperation, he raised his Western sword to block the triangular cone-head chain, and then jumped up and down.

But what surprised him even more was that the metal chain suddenly grew in size and rushed toward him like a metal snake.

At this time, the shield in Chaldea's hand had disappeared.

clang clang...

A strong metal collision sounded, and then after Shanks finally got rid of the metal chain, he realized that Chaldea had rushed two meters in front of him.

"So fast!"

Shanks was surprised to see that the sword in Chaldea's right hand had turned into a metal spear.

The barrel of the gun shook loudly in the night sky, and then the head of the gun crashed down with a violent whistling sound.

Shanks turned around and dodged the attack.

With a bang, the ground was shattered by the gun head.

"Your fruit abilities are getting better and better!"

Shanks laughed, and then the evading body rushed in front of Chaldea and slashed out with a sword.

"You're good too."

Chaldea smiled, then the spear in his hand disappeared, and a huge hammer appeared, swinging it towards Shanks.

Shanks' pupils shrank slightly, feeling the terrifying power contained in the hammer. He didn't dare to take it hard, but it was already too late to avoid it at this time.

He held the Western sword gently in front of his chest, and all the power was concentrated into the hilt.

boom……

The next second, the sound of impact broke out, and the surrounding area was surrounded by violent air waves.
