One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

Beside the man in the purple kimono stood a wild man with sunglasses perched on his nose, long, unruly hair, and a floral shirt with the words "Shikawa Shinju" embroidered on his chest. The man had his arms crossed in front of him, looking at the blind man beside him with a puzzled expression, and asked.

Upon hearing this, the blind middle-aged man slurping noodles put down his bowl, turned to the side, looked at the unruly man beside him who dressed like a thug, and said softly, "No! The knife in my hand is what scarred my face! The world that took my eyes away is so ugly that I can't bear to look at it!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Really? Really? I see!"

"Truly worthy of being called the legendary blind swordsman Yixiao (Life)!"

"Truly living up to its reputation! I am truly impressed..."

In response, the unrestrained man looked at the blind swordsman beside him and laughed heartily.

"Ha ha……"

"Huang Mu, your name is well-known to this old man!"

In response, Yixiao stared intently at Huangmu beside him with his white eyes and spoke in a slightly cold voice.

"Hahaha! I never expected my name to become so famous! Amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Mu continued to laugh loudly.

"However, not all the things I've heard about you are good news! There are some things that I simply cannot bear to see..."

"Let me make this clear from the start: I don't care whether you are as righteous or evil as the rumors suggest, I don't care at all! But if you dare to do anything out of line in front of me, I will show absolutely no mercy."

As Yixiao finished speaking, he placed his hand on the cane beside him and slowly drew an extremely sharp knife from it.

"Hey! Stop messing around..."

"I'm not in the mood to fight you right now!"

"I came here to see that person..."

"I didn't come here to fight you! If I had known it was going to be a fight, I wouldn't have come."

Upon seeing Yixiao draw his sword, Huangmu immediately and frantically raised his hand above his head.

At this moment, Huang Mu once again revealed his French nationality! *cough cough*

"You guy..."

Yi Xiao's eyes twitched slightly after sensing Huang Mu's movement.

To be honest, Yi Xiao could sense the immense power within Huang Mu, a power that was in no way inferior to his own! If he were to engage in a life-or-death battle with Huang Mu, Yi Xiao wouldn't dare say he could definitely win...

However, Yi Xiao was speechless at Huang Mu's behavior of surrendering before even fighting. He really didn't know how Huang Mu, who had a personality that preferred to retreat when facing strong opponents, could possess such powerful strength!

"Ha ha……"

Huang Mu simply smiled at this. He never cared what others thought of him; he simply didn't want to fight battles he wasn't sure he could win!

In Huang Mu's view, every move must be fatal, and victory must be assured. Anyone who fights knowing that they will fail or that there will be no result is a bunch of fools.

"never mind……"

After a long while, Yixiao put the samurai sword back in his hand.

"Hahaha……"

"I apologize for keeping you both waiting!"

Just as I smiled and sheathed my sword...

With a soft laugh, Char, dressed in a close-fitting white knight's uniform (referencing the Sternritter), entered Makino's tavern.

Behind Char stood Douglas Barrett, CP0's strongest fighter, known as CP0's strongest shield and the successor to the devil!

Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, currently the head instructor of the Marine Training Camp, a hero active in the God Valley Incident, and the legendary hero Garp who repeatedly cornered the "Pirate King" Gol D. Roger.

At this moment, Barrett and Garp, like Char's two generals, stood guard over him from both sides, protecting him at all times. Although both Barrett and Garp felt that Char didn't need anyone's protection, that he himself was the most dangerous person...

Besides Barrett and Garp, there was another man who completely surprised everyone present! No one expected this person to appear in East Sea Windmill Village…

The man had short, dark purple hair and incredibly strong muscles. At this moment, he was staring intently at Yixiao and Huangmu, who were resting in the tavern, with his sharp eyes, as keen as those of the Twelve Gods of the Upper Realm.

"not bad!"

A moment later, the man with short purple hair smiled.

"Oh?! It seems they passed your review? Zephyr..."

Upon hearing the words of the purple-haired man beside him, Garp laughed in surprise.

Yes, this man, who looks more than ten years younger than Garp and doesn't seem to be from the same generation, is Zeff, who has undergone Char's genetic modification!

In fact, with Char's technique, Zephyr could have looked even younger, but he couldn't accept that he looked like a young man, so he used his Devil Fruit ability to make him look like a middle-aged man.

"Of course it passed!"

"If we can't even get past monsters like this..."

"I'm afraid there's no one in the world who can get past this!"

"Oh! Unless Roger can be brought back to life..."

Zefa crossed his arms in front of him and began to preach.

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing this, Garp couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Apart from Zephyr, Garp, and Barrett, outside Makino's tavern, three Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals—Gion, Kake, and Doll—could only stand outside, regrettably.

For these monsters, Makino's tavern was too small; if they all went inside, it would be too crowded...

"Hey! This is no joke!"

"Naval hero Garp! Former Navy Admiral, now Field Marshal Zephyr! And the devil's heir, Douglas Barrett, as well as three Vice Admirals from Navy Headquarters..."

"Most importantly, His Highness Prince Figarand Char, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the World Government's Armed Forces, has actually come in person! I am truly flattered!"

Huang Mu, being quite tactful, stood up from his seat and nodded to Xia Ya and the group of powerful figures behind him, as if to say hello.

"So! Your Highness, Lord Xia, went to great lengths to send CP0 agents to contact us! And then you summoned us here, and gathered so many experts to ambush us in this small tavern. What is the purpose of all this?! Perhaps you see that I and Aramu are too carefree these days, so you intend to give us a break?!"

As Yixiao finished speaking, he had already drawn his katana a section, the blinding cold light reflecting on the faces of everyone in the tavern.

"Huh? What are you talking about, Yixiao?"

"There are so many powerful individuals here, how could the two of us possibly win?!"

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'A wise man submits to circumstances'?"

Upon seeing Yixiao's actions, Huangmu's expression immediately turned panicked!

Unlike Ikkō, he had no intention of fighting with Char and the others!

Xia's side has six or seven strong fighters. If they fight the two of them, wouldn't it be a one-sided, brutal beating?!

"Your Highness Xia, don't listen to this old blind man. We came with sincerity and have no intention of fighting you or the powerful figures behind you..."

Huang Mu waved his hand repeatedly at Xia Ya, his face showing some sincerity.

However, whether this sincerity was an act by Huang Mu or truly came from his heart, only he himself probably knows...

"If it really comes down to taking action, I'm willing to do it all for you..."

"To be honest, I could subdue this old blind man next to me all by myself!"

As Huang Mu finished speaking, he leaned closer to Xia Ya and winked at him.

"I heard you! You treacherous bastard..."

In response, I smiled and retorted to Aramaki.

"Shut up, I'm saving you!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Mu turned his head, glared at him, and roared.

"Ha ha……"

As for Xia Ya, he couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the two powerful figures from the high seas who seemed to be putting on a charade. As for who was stronger, Huang Mu or Yi Xiao, Xia Ya couldn't really say.

However, Aramaki could indeed beat Yixiao's head so badly that Yixiao had to wrap white bandages around his head.

"Please, both of you, do not be impatient!"

"I am sincerely grateful for your arrival! And I have no ill intentions whatsoever..."

"The reason I asked the CP0s to bring you two here is because I have something I'd like to discuss with you in detail!"

As Xia spoke, he had already sat down in a chair. He nodded to Makino, who was working at the bar, signaling her to serve drinks to everyone.

"Come on, everyone, have a drink..."

Upon receiving Char's signal, Makino immediately brought out the finest drinks and served them to Char, Issho, Aramaki, Garp, Zephyr, and Barrett.

"Thank you!"

Upon seeing this, Xia thanked Makino politely.

Ultimately, Makino is Char's sister-in-law, so he should still be grateful...

In fact, Char had already told Makino that as the wife of the Figarand family, she no longer needed to run the tavern; she already had endless wealth and luxury laid out before her! The annual allowance for a Celestial Dragon's wife was enough for Makino to live a carefree life for the rest of her days.

Unfortunately, Char was rejected by Makino...
