"Shanks, now that you have reappeared and are so high-profile, have you already thought about how to face those people who have been looking for you?

To be honest, if you are not ready yet, it is best to leave now. Although my old bones are no longer good, there is still no problem in delaying it for you for a while. "

Riley took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

His relationship with Shanks was already very good, and although he is old, his strength has not declined too seriously.

As long as he is willing, even if Karl comes, he can delay it for a short period of time, let alone other people.

This is Pluto Rayleigh, even though he is nearly 70 years old, he is still going strong!

"Besides Rayleigh, I may be able to help, although my strength is not as strong as you monsters.

But fortunately, I was once a member of Rocks, so if Kaido or Lingling come to kill me, I can help delay it for a few minutes."

Xia Qi spoke calmly, and then placed a few bottles of wine on the surrounding tables.

Those tables are all crew members of the red-haired pirates.

They followed Shanks and came here to eat and drink, while waiting for Shanks' next order.

If Shanks said to continue hiding, they would leave here immediately without hesitation.

But Shanks didn't say anything now.

He just swallowed several glasses of wine and finally showed his trademark silly smile.

"Haha, Senior Lei Li, Senior Xia Qi, I would like to thank you in advance, but don't worry, this matter started because of me, and I need to solve it myself."

"Having said that, I still don't understand why you disclosed the information about Rafdru before.

Although I don't mean to blame you, if you do this, it will undoubtedly make the sea more turbulent.

Without Karl and his new navy, the two of us would not be able to sit here drinking and chatting so peacefully like we are today."

Having said this, Rayleigh couldn't help but sigh, and then continued to speak.

"To be honest, this is all thanks to this kid Karl, even though I dislike him very much.

But what I have to admit is that this guy is really capable, especially when these policies come out one after another, which is completely out of the mind of a young man.

Under his management, even the Supernova was compressed into four, and as for other pirates, basically very few can cross the hurdle of Demon Valley Town."

At this point, everyone present fell silent.

Because they knew exactly what Karl's new naval force had done in just a few months.

Karl's new navy, combined with the revolutionary army, wiped out almost all the trends in the four seas, returning 90% of the area to peace.

There are at least 50% of the Grand Line area where pirates, merchant ships and ordinary people will not appear, and they can sail freely in this protected area.

As for the remaining areas that have not been liberated, they either belong to the navy or some countries that have not yet been liberated.

Those countries are easier to talk about, but they belong to the territory of the navy. Karl has explicitly prohibited his people from fighting with them.

Therefore, there is a subtle tacit understanding between the New Navy and the Navy, and neither party will take the initiative.

This has led to this miraculous situation happening now.

As for the second half of the Grand Line, it is the New World.

It's more complicated here.

All the armies of the World Government and all personnel of the CP organization have been mobilized here.

Among them, the CP members whose strength exceeded that of the Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters were all forcibly transferred into the special operations group targeting the new navy.

The navy, on the other hand, protects itself within the new world and does not offend either the new navy or the world government.

They only caught pirates!

As for the four emperors today, their power is being continuously reduced, but they don't mind.

Especially the red-haired pirates.

During the period of time when he disappeared, Shanks' territory shrank sharply, down to about two-thirds.

Most of them are occupied by Marco, Kaido and Charlotte Lingling, who have been looking for Rafdru.

Now I am no longer in the mood to engage in this little game of turf war.

It's just that no one among them can decipher what Shanks meant by what he said.

"I can only say that in addition to being a monster, this guy is also a genius. Most people really can't do this."

Xia Qi took a puff of her cigarette, obviously admiring Karl for doing this at such a young age.

At this moment, the door of the bar was suddenly opened.

Carl, a sunny boy with a smile on his face, suddenly appeared in front of Xia Qi and others, and they were immediately shocked.

"Haha, I like to hear this, so here you go, today we won't fight, we will just drink, and I, Governor Carl, will pay for all the expenses! You can drink freely!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Karl laughed loudly and waved his hand very boldly. Several gold bars the size of a palm and as thick as a fist were placed at the front desk using Karl's ability.

Seeing this scene, Lei Li and Xia Qi's eyes lit up.

These gold bars are enough to cover the wine here, but now they are just used by Karl to treat guests.

Obviously, after becoming the new naval governor, Karl became more and more heroic.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Now the new navy lacks everything, not just talents, but also weapons and ships, and even territory.

But the only thing that is not lacking is money!

After all, Tezzolo was deceived by Karl, and the underground wealth he controlled was also looted by Karl.

In addition, all the wealth in the Golden Country, except for the huge golden clock, was confiscated by Karl.

So Karl is now rich and spends money lavishly and doesn't feel bad at all.

"It seems that your knowledge and color have improved again. What a monster!"

Shanks couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then took a sip of wine.

The other crew members of the Red-haired Pirates, seeing that Shanks didn't make any move, continued to eat and drink, but they remained vigilant.

As long as Shanks gives the order, they will attack Carl in groups.

But Karl didn't care, he just brought a chair over and generously placed it in the middle position between Shanks and Rayleigh.

"Lady boss, it's the same old rules!"

"I know, here I go."

Xia Qi nodded, smiled and went to open the drink.

Karl turned his attention to Shanks, and after sizing him up for a moment, he asked in a deep voice.

"Where have you been during this time? To be honest, I'm quite curious as to why you disappeared suddenly and there was no news from you.
Chapter completed!
