One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 812: The Arrival of CP0 and Shanks' Thoughts
That evening, when the CP0 handover personnel, who had rushed here in a hurry, saw the villagers salvaging the wreckage of the sunken ship at the dock, they knew that something big had happened.

"939, go and ask about the situation."

When they couldn't contact Deputy Z.F. halfway, they knew something must have gone wrong, so they abandoned the ship and the three CP0s hurriedly flew over using the Moon Step, but they were still too late.

"Ah."

The CP939 agent called 0 nodded and waved his hand. A small boat suddenly appeared on the water. On the boat, a middle-aged man who looked listless was numbly rowing towards the dock.

"Hey! There's someone on the sea!"

At this time, the villagers who were salvaging the wreckage of the ship at the dock looked towards the sea and saw a middle-aged man who looked like a shipwreck survivor. Upon seeing this situation, two of the enthusiastic villagers immediately rushed out in a kayak and picked up the middle-aged man.

"where is this place?"

After the middle-aged man was brought ashore, he was stunned for a while before speaking in a hoarse voice.

"This is Minnar Island. Are you shipwrecked?"

A woman handed a bowl of water to the middle-aged man and said.

"Dead, everyone is dead, all died in the monster's mouth, the ship is gone, my life is over."

The middle-aged man immediately held his head and cried, as if he wanted to cry out all his pent-up emotions, until his already hoarse voice became almost voiceless and he slowly stopped.

"Alas, another miserable person. Cry, you will feel better after crying. It was the same with those people this afternoon. I don't know how they offended those pirates. Their ship was smashed at noon. No one escaped. They were all killed and sunk in the sea. Even the ship was burned. The dock was blocked. The cleanup was not completed until the evening."

An old man, who seemed to be the village chief, looked at the middle-aged man, sighed helplessly and said, and his words made the middle-aged man stunned for a moment, but then he returned to normal and began to drink water in small sips.

At this time, 939 in the sky withdrew his gaze and told all the information he knew.

"The Red Hair Pirates! Damn it! It's them again!"

CP0 didn't know about the existence of Yamato and others, so they could only associate all the problems with the Red Hair Pirates. But that was true. The Red Hair Pirates were originally looking for the Rubber Fruit everywhere, and even without the instigation of Yamato and others, they would have gone for it eventually, so CP0 didn't really wrong them.

"Should we chase them? According to the villagers, they went north, probably towards the New World and the North Sea."

939 glanced at the middle-aged man below, thought that this puppet was no longer of any value, and stopped paying attention to him. He turned to the leading CP0 and said.

"Report it first. Don't worry about the people on Minar Island for now. Let the fleet behind take away all the salvaged items. Wait for orders for the rest."

The leader of CP0 shook his head. With just the three of them, they might not be a match for the Red Hair Pirates. Unlike the Four Emperors, they were very familiar with the intelligence of the Red Hair Pirates who roamed the four seas all day. The two characters who possessed Conqueror's Haki were definitely not ordinary people. They knew their own strengths and weaknesses. With just the three of them, it would be difficult to deal with the Red Hair Pirates. Even if they really wanted to give chase, they had to wait for manpower to be allocated from above.

While CP0 was struggling, the Red Hair Pirates and Yamato Squad, who were originally thought to be heading north, had turned their ships around and headed towards the Upside-Down Mountain in the east.

"This devil fruit looks so ordinary, and I don't feel anything special about it. Why do we have to look for it?"

Yamato looked at the rubber fruit in Shanks' hand and said, "Hehe, although it looks ordinary, this fruit is actually very different. This is a devil fruit that the World Government ordered to find. It is even more important than the legendary surgery fruit that can give people immortality, just because this fruit is the fruit that the man ate in the legend."

Shanks, who was already drunk, became a little outspoken at the moment. He leaned against the wall crookedly, holding the rubber fruit in his hand, and spoke excitedly. Maybe it was because everyone present was someone he trusted. If he was in front of outsiders, he would not say these things.

"That man? Who is he? Could it be Uncle Roger? But I heard that Uncle Roger has never eaten a devil fruit?"

Yamato still didn't understand. Isn't it just a devil fruit? Even if the Pirate King had eaten it, it wouldn't be worth it for the World Government to take it so seriously.

"No, no, no, it's not that simple. Our lovely Miss Yamato, Captain Roger has indeed never eaten any devil fruit. And even if Captain Roger has eaten a devil fruit, the World Government would not take it so seriously. Otherwise, they would not have let the crew of Roger's pirate group go."

Shanks shook his head. He was a little unable to stand and sat down against the wall. The urge to vomit after drinking too much made him feel very uncomfortable when speaking, but the excitement in his heart made him unable to help but say a few more words. After all, he finally found it. He did not disappoint Captain Roger's last wishes and he lived up to the title of a member of the Roger Pirates' crew.

"Who is that? Shanks, anyone who speaks half-heartedly will get a donkey kick."

Seeing that Shanks had been talking for a long time but couldn't get to the point, Yamato, who was impatient, became very annoyed. She now wanted to punch Shanks to sober up this drunkard. She finally understood why Lily hated Kaido drinking so much. Talking to a drunk person really wastes time.

"Don't be so anxious. I was just about to tell you. It's actually very simple. It's just the legendary liberator, Joyboy."

After Shanks finished speaking, he looked at Yamato with a smile. When Yamato heard the name, her face was immediately filled with disappointment. She thought he was some great figure, but this was the result.

"Okay, I didn't expect Uncle Roger still believed in this myth, how boring."

Yamato curled her lips and lost interest immediately. She had heard too many stories about Joyboy, and Yamato was worthy of being the child of Kaido and Lily. She had the same idea about Joyboy. A very strong guy did very powerful things. If he were alive, she would definitely meet him. But if Yamato were to worship a dead person? Forget it. No matter how powerful this person was, wouldn't he still fail? It was not like her own parents. As long as Yamato could remember, Kaido and Lily had always won, won, won, and never lost. Wouldn't it be good to believe in her own parents? At least she could see and touch them.

“Hahahaha! As expected, I guessed you would be like this, hahahaha! As expected of you being the daughter of Mr. Kaido and Madam Lily, you are simply cast from the same mold.”

After hearing Yamato's words, Shanks did not feel disappointed at all. Instead, he laughed as he had expected. He thought that Yamato would definitely not be surprised, and sure enough, he guessed right.

"Since you know we have no feelings for that Joy Boy, why are you still talking so excitedly? I thought it was something extraordinary."

Yamato looked at Shanks and rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Hahaha, don't say that. Captain Roger doesn't really believe in Joyboy. He just prefers to believe it than not. At least it's a good thing that the World Government can't get it, isn't it?"

Shanks smiled. Actually, Shanks didn't know what Roger thought of Joyboy. He certainly respected him, but did he believe in the legend of Joyboy? Sorry, he didn't know either. But he knew that Roger asked him to find this devil fruit, and he definitely didn't want the Celestial Dragons to get it.

"So what are you going to do? Are you going to eat this fruit?"

Yamato asked, still a little curious.

"Forget it, I don't want to eat it. Let's see if anyone on the ship wants to eat it. If no one wants to eat it, just leave it there. Who knows, it may find its owner in the future. After all, devil fruits will choose their own owners, right?"
