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

The reason why Judge led the Germa fleet to cross the Red Earth Continent to the New World was naturally to conceal the truth, or to do superficial work.

After all, Germa is still a member of the World Government. If it does not choose the route to the Red Earth Continent but chooses the more dangerous route to Fishman Island, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Moreover, Germa is also a mercenary kingdom with strong military power. If Shiro Yakumo does not "slightly explain" the purpose of going to the New World to the government, he will probably be under attention and surveillance. If he wants to continue to stay on Germa's ship, there will naturally be risks.

But as long as you arrive in the New World, you will find that this sea is now a veritable sea of ​​chaos. Although the Four Emperors' structure has not yet been fully formed, the Whitebeard Pirates and the BIG-MOM Pirates already seem to have the momentum to dominate the world.

As for... Red-Haired Shanks, that guy is still drifting around the world. I believe that in a few years, he will drag one arm into the New World with absolutely powerful strength and seize the throne of the Four Emperors!

Kaido's Beasts Pirates will also join the battle once they have digested everything in Wano Country! By then, it will be the moment when Yakumo Shiro will truly step onto the stage!

It can be said that the entire New World is now in the midst of a fierce war. The government and the navy are very happy to see the pirates fall into endless infighting. At this time, their garrison forces and influence in the New World are also not strong.

As for Germa's entry into the New World, is it possible for him to cooperate with the pirates?

The World Government may have such concerns, but they also know that the status of a member country has great strategic significance for Germa. With this identity, Germa can develop artificial human technology safely and send mercenaries everywhere to make a fortune from war.

Today, Germa and the World Government, one provides a huge amount of heavenly gold, and the other gives the other party a legal and formal identity. Both get what they need, and such a balance and interest relationship will be difficult to break in a short period of time.

Therefore, the risk of letting Jiazhi lead his fleet across the Red Earth Continent is insignificant compared to the benefits it brings.

"Well, I'm just a little curious about the scenery of Fishman Island. If you think about it carefully, aren't mermaids a kind of monster girl? Maybe I can take the opportunity to invite a mermaid lady to Wano Country.

After all, Fishman Island and Wano Country were allies eight hundred years ago, right?"

Yakumo Shiro thought as a matter of course, unable to hide his anticipation.

"Besides, with Tiger's relationship here, maybe we can get some unexpected gains~"

While thinking about future plans, Yakumo walked towards a closed cabin. He thought that it would be better to deal with the small tail that was left behind before reaching the Sabaody Archipelago?

Like...some "scary" demon sheriff?

After taking out a toy seastone chain from the dark space he carried with him and wrapping it tightly around the doll that Lafayette had transformed into, Yakumo Shiro released his ability and asked Lafayette, who looked dazed and had a dim look in his eyes.

"Huh...huh..."

A violent gasp came from the mouth of the elegant sheriff in front of him, who was wearing a formal dress. His white shirt was already wet with sweat. Lafayette frowned tightly and covered his brain. The tingling feeling of waking up from a dream was really burning his nerves.

Although he was turned into a doll for only a few days, his consciousness was still clear. The feeling of powerlessness and out-of-control of his body was alright, but the despair in the darkness left a deep shadow in Lafayette's soul.

His five senses were almost completely taken away, and his only remaining sight was filled with endless darkness. Having lost control of his body, Lafayette almost felt like he was in hell, his body and mind completely dead!

Fortunately, an excellent hypnotist must first have an indestructible will. My father had already gone through a similar "experience" when he was training me and teaching me hypnosis - living in a completely closed room with only one bed for two and a half years with sufficient supplies...

Although it sounds simple, only those who have truly experienced it understand that the further you go in the process, the more tormented it becomes. The spiritual emptiness is far more terrifying than physical damage and hunger. It is unspeakable torture!

If I hadn't eaten the fruit in private and had a higher resistance to this kind of mental "attack", I might have committed suicide in that empty room...

Of course, the experience of being turned into a doll and thrown into a dark space was far more difficult to endure than the experience in his youth. Even Lafayette could only barely hold on after using hypnosis with enhanced abilities to give himself hints.

All of this is a temporary illusion, and I will soon be able to see the light again. Before that, I just need to calm down and wait quietly. Things will soon turn around. I still have value to the other party, and it is not time for him to give up...

It sounds like words of self-consolation, but under the effect of the fruit's ability, it temporarily deceives one's brain, preventing oneself from falling too deeply into that state of despair~

Hehe~ Apart from that, there is nothing I can do about the current situation...

"This sir... huhuhu... you are finally so kind as to show mercy.

Hoohoo...is there anything I can do for you?"

Suppressing his heavy breathing and stiff body, Lafayette tried hard to control his body and made a gentleman's salute to Yakumo Bai, and asked respectfully, "He who knows the times is a hero, and only wise people can live longer, and only when you are alive can you talk about the future!"

Lafayette's expression at this moment naturally fell into Yakumo Shira's eyes. To be honest, the scene in front of him was really beyond Yakumo Shira's expectations. He didn't expect that the dark space would have such an effect?

Interesting~ It seems that I won’t be bored anymore~

"Haha~ Actually it's nothing, Mr. Lafayette. I'm just a little curious, what exactly is your fruit ability?"

"..."

Lafayette was speechless for a moment at Yakumo Bai's curious look. Although he was the one who attacked first and it was understandable that he fell into the other party's hands, but... because of this kind of question? Wouldn't it be better to ask directly at the beginning? As for imprisoning him for so long? !

Although he felt helpless, he had to bow his head under the eaves. Lafayette still suppressed his dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice,

“From what I understand, my devil fruit is undoubtedly an animal type… but I haven’t seen a devil fruit encyclopedia, so I don’t know what kind of creature it is… but it looks like it should be very rare.

Hmm... maybe the description is not accurate. How about you untie the chains first? I will show you in person.

——After all, you defeated me easily before, so my ability should be nothing to you, right?"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Yakumo Shiro narrowed his eyes. Lafayette’s performance was perfect, and there was nothing unusual on his face, as if he had indeed completely surrendered, but... was it really so?

With a barely perceptible arc on his lips, Yakumo Bai went straight forward and did a little "trick" to Lafayette's heart before removing the other's chain, and said lightly,

"Okay~ Mr. Lafayette, please, show me~"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lafayette did not expect the other party to have such a method. He immediately gave up the desire to fight back.

"Okay, sir, I'll follow your instructions."

As he spoke, the familiar white wings rose again from behind Lafayette. As the broad wings flapped, Lafayette's body gradually changed. As the feathers fell, a brand new look suddenly fell into Yakumo Shiro's eyes.

Seeing such a strange creature, even Yakumo Bai couldn't help but be surprised and murmured in a low voice,

"Is this... a Siren?"
