Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

"Sky Island? That's amazing! There really is an island in the sky?"

"Of course, I just left Sky Island, and I also got the title of 'God'~"

"Oh wow!!! That's amazing!"

In the tavern of Windmill Village, a pure white figure was leaning against the bar and talking cheerfully, while the gentle and quiet tavern proprietress was leaning on her chin and listening very seriously beside him, her half-bent waist clearly revealing her graceful figure.

Opposite Yakumo Shiro, Luffy and Uta listened with great interest with shining eyes, and were completely attracted by the wonderful sea described by Yakumo Shiro.

Such a warm and harmonious scene formed a sharp contrast with the previous hustle and bustle, and at the same time deeply "hurt" someone's "fragile heart" -

"Damn it! How come that guy suddenly took my seat!"

Outside the tavern, Shanks was leaning against the window in a strange posture, observing furtively. His strong sense of jealousy even dispelled the smell of alcohol from his body.

"Haha~ To be honest, Shanks, although we have had enough adventures, your storytelling skills are really not good~ It's just like reading words dryly. Only the girl Uta who says one thing and means another can listen to it."

At one side, Beckman leaned against the wall, with smoke rising from his mouth, and his whole body was shrouded in a mist.

"This this..."

Hearing this, Shanks was speechless for a moment, and at the same time he began to doubt himself deeply. Was his eloquence really that bad? But when he met some pirates who didn't know how to be polite, they always gave him face? It couldn't be that they were deliberately acting, right?

"Even if that's the case, what about Wuta? Wuta should have experienced many adventures, right? Why is she still interested in that guy's story?"

Shanks stared at Beckman, his wide eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement.

When Shanks asked this question, Beckman, who was smoking, stopped what he was doing. When he felt that Shanks was obviously a little anxious, he sighed and said politely,

"A warm reminder, Shanks, although we are pirates, you should pay attention to your appearance from time to time - remember to shave your beard regularly..."

"???"

"!!!"

(At this time, Red Hair was 26 years old, and was far from being as domineering and mature as the Four Emperors later on, so the description of this part may be a little more uncoordinated and impulsive...)

--------

After a long time, until the sun set in the west and the moon rose above the brows, the conversation in the tavern came to a reluctant end.

After the excitement passed, there was the irrepressible fatigue. Makino, who had been busy all day, was the first to go back to his room to rest. Then Luffy, who had just had a "battle" with Shanks during the day, fell asleep on the bar. Finally, Uta fell into Yakumo Shiro's arms vaguely.

"Brother Yakumo, you must come to my...concert in the future...I will prepare a...concert...just for you..."

The cherry-like little mouth opened and closed, and the soft and cute mumbling seemed to scratch the heart like dogtail grass. With the warm and lovely body in his arms, his lips, which were a little dry due to talking for a long time, felt a little comforted. Yakumo Shiro smiled and gently covered the girl with a "thin blanket" with his tail. Just as he was about to let out a breath, Shanks' voice sounded behind him.

"Ahem! Thank you for your hard work, Yakumo Shiro... You must be very tired after telling stories all day, right? Leave it to me now, I'll take them back to the room..."

"No need, Shanks, my tail is more comfortable than an ordinary bed. It's enough for Uta to sleep for a night. Besides, what if I wake her up? I heard that Uta is very grumpy when she wakes up!"

“(frown)(frown)(frown)!”

The dissatisfaction that had been suppressed surged up again, and Shanks immediately rushed forward and grabbed Yakumo Shiro's collar, trying to lower his voice and gritted his teeth and said,

"Hey! Don't be too pushy! At this point, you still won't tell me your real purpose! It won't do you any good to get close to Uta and Luffy! I don't believe you will waste your time playing house with the little guys in this little windmill village!"

The domineering color that could be freely controlled condensed into a point, and the almost tangible pressure came straight towards Yakumo Bai with a captivating momentum. The man who would sit firmly on the throne of the Four Emperors in the future with his domineering aura and swordsmanship alone, his current strength should not be underestimated!

"Humph!"

However, facing the sudden pressure from Shanks, Yakumo Bai just snorted coldly, and then an even stronger domineering color swept out, quickly breaking through Shanks' pressure and creating a silent wave of air in the small tavern.

"You have to think carefully about the consequences of taking action here! Shanks, you don't want the Windmill Village and everyone here to be destroyed, right?"

The playful voice sounded as both sides stepped back slightly. At this moment, Yakumo Bai no longer had the gentleness and humility he had when he was telling the story before. Instead, he was cunning and flamboyant, which was in line with the nature of a fox!

"you!!!"

Seeing this, Shanks, who was secretly surprised by the opponent's domineering color, suddenly widened his eyes, and then a look of "as expected" appeared on his face -

"So, you really have another purpose, right? Otherwise, with your identity and strength, it is impossible for you to come to the East China Sea for no reason, and what a coincidence that you came to Windmill Village?!"

Shanks said in a deep voice, his eyes full of vigilance and suspicion.

"You have an ulterior motive? Why do you have to say it so exaggeratedly?"

Yakumo Shiro chuckled and waved his hand in a helpless manner.

"Well, to be honest, a coating craftsman said that he has a very reliable junior, and that if he needs help in the future, he can ask him for help... Look, now there are marines chasing me, and in order to get out of it as soon as possible, I have no choice but to ask you for help~"

Silence, embarrassing silence. Shanks stared at Yakumo Shiro silently, as if he wanted to find some guilt in him, but unfortunately, there was none. The other party seemed to be quite confident in what he said, or rather, he was very confident that he would believe it!

"Do I look deceptive?"

Shanks silently pulled out half of the blade and said expressionlessly.

"Um... don't react so strongly. Okay, I admit it. Actually, I am planning to set up an idol girl group recently. Now we are in need of a lead singer. If nothing unexpected happens, I will choose Uta..."

"Zheng——"

A dazzling blade light flashed by, and the famous sword Griffin directly cut through the air and slashed straight towards Yakumo Shiro -

Shanks had secretly prepared to "save" Uta while the opponent was dodging. He was very confident in this knife. Although it was still far from the real "God's Evasion", the opponent could not dodge this move!

"Crackling——"

A sharp flash of lightning suddenly lit up, and Shanks's figure rushing towards Uta was suddenly stopped. At the same time, he looked at Yakumo Bai who was directly pierced by Griffin in astonishment, and an uncontrollable deep shock arose in his heart.

How is this possible? Elementalization?!

"Alas, I wanted to shine the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch.

In fact, everything I said is really true! Whether it is borrowing your power or helping Uta realize her dream... "

Pulling away from Griffin's sharp edge, Yakumo Bai embraced Uta in a princess hug, but deep darkness suddenly emerged under his feet.

“If you want to confirm whether what I said is true or not, go to Rogue Town!

Shanks, the answer will be revealed in due time...

Ghana~"
