One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

According to Makino, running a tavern is her hobby and enjoyment, nothing else matters. No matter how hard it is or how much money she loses, she will continue to do it...

Under Makino's insistence, Char had no choice but to agree. He could only come to the tavern more often to support his sister-in-law's business!

Even his private conversation with Aramu, which ended with a good laugh, was scheduled to take place in this tavern...

One is to continue supporting Macintosh's business so that Macintosh can have a better life!

Secondly, because everyone here is a fellow countryman, and the entire tavern is equipped with outdated facilities, with very few metal items, the possibility of being eavesdropped on is reduced.

"No need to be so polite~"

Makino smiled at Char, then picked up her plate and left.

"Ha! Fine wine! It looks like it's been aged for quite a while."

As soon as the wine was served, Aramaki began to drink it in large gulps. Because of his Devil Fruit ability, he was not afraid of being poisoned at all.

After Huang Mu downed a large glass of wine, he immediately showed a refreshed expression and laughed heartily at the people in front of him.

"Hehe! I'm glad you like it!"

Char Aznable simply smiled at this.

"Your Highness Xia, let's get straight to the point!"

"What exactly is the purpose of summoning us here today?!"

Compared to the alcoholic Aramaki, Ikko seemed much calmer. He calmly placed the wine in front of him beside him and smiled at Xia.

"I intend to recruit you into the World Government..."

Seeing this, Xia Ya seemed too lazy to continue beating around the bush and spoke frankly to Yi Xiao and Huang Mu in front of him.

"Join the World Government?!"

Upon hearing this, both Yi Xiao and Huang Mu were taken aback.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a mixture of surprise and composure.

Yes, although Char's recruitment of them was somewhat unexpected, everything seemed to make sense!

If Char wasn't trying to recruit the two, it seems completely unnecessary to spend so much time just to gather them here...

"You two don't seem surprised at all?!"

Xia smiled and asked Yixiao and Huangmu.

“Surprised! But we are surprised by…”

Upon hearing this, Huang Mu nodded first.

"I'm amazed by His Highness Xia's candor!"

"I thought His Highness Xia would at least beat around the bush a few times before speaking..."

"I never expected His Highness Xia to be so straightforward!"

"This is something we didn't expect."

Before Huang Mu could speak, Yi Xiao continued.

"Since I intend to recruit the two of you, I'm too lazy to beat around the bush any longer!"

"You are all powerful figures at sea, some of you renowned for your chivalry! If I were to engage in any more roundabout methods, it would be disrespectful to you both..."

Xia looked at Aramaki and smiled, answering truthfully.

"Since His Highness Xia is being so frank, then we'll be frank too!"

After thinking about this for a while, Yixiao and Huangmu seemed to have a solution!

This time, the one who spoke directly to Xia was still 'Blind Swordsman' Yixiao. After thinking for a long time, he opened his pale eyes and stared intently at Huang Mu's face, as if he intended to directly project Huang Mu's face into his brain. At the same time, he said coldly, "Your Highness Xia, please allow us to refuse your recruitment!"

"boom!!"

It was precisely the moment Huang Mu finished speaking.

Barrett, Garp, and Zephyr, who had been sitting behind Aramu, immediately stood up! Their dark, domineering aura instantly filled the entire tavern!

Huang Mu and Yi Xiao were no pushovers either; their domineering auras surged forth from their bodies at that moment, colliding with those of Barrett and the others...

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

In the instant that the two sides clashed with such domineering power, all the bottles on the walls of the Makino Tavern shattered!

The crystal-clear wine droplets, carrying a rich aroma, instantly pierced the air...

Makino was only momentarily lost in thought, and when she regained consciousness, Gion, Kake, and Dol were already standing in front of her!

As for the tavern's vice admirals, apart from Char who remained firmly seated, Barrett, Garp, Zephyr, Aramaki, and Issho all stood up from their seats. The chairs beneath them had been shattered by their powerful aura.

"You want to fight?!"

The usually timid and cowardly Huang Mu, who was terrified of everyone, suddenly changed his demeanor, his eyes becoming sharp...

He was the first person present to switch from alert mode to combat mode, ready to strike first and seize the initiative at the slightest sign of trouble.

All I can say is that this guy truly lives up to his reputation as the Navy's most efficient guy.

Oh, speaking of which, the most efficient pirate is actually Blackbeard, who seems the most cowardly.

All I can say is that the two seemingly most cowardly individuals from the two major factions silently reaped the kills of the losers and earned the MVP title.

"What's the rush, everyone!"

Just then, the atmosphere in the tavern plummeted to its lowest point!

The group of people in the tavern were about to start a fight over a minor disagreement! It seemed that the entire Windmill Village, and even the entire Dong Island, was about to be destroyed because of this.

Xia suddenly spoke up. Looking at the shattered bottles scattered on the ground, a helpless expression crossed his face. He said softly, "What are you doing? Such good wine! It's such a waste to just throw it away like this..."

"Magino, the World Government will be responsible for all the losses incurred by the tavern today! Once you've tallied up the losses, just give it to Kake. Remember to tally up a lot, you know what I mean..."

Then, Char looked at Makino and spoke magnanimously.

"it is good!"

Makino nodded slightly in agreement.

"Huh?! Why are you giving me the bill?"

Jiaji was completely baffled by this.

"Now that the tavern matter is settled, let's talk about your business!"

Xia turned around again and looked at Yixiao and Huangmu.

"Can you tell me why you disagree?!"

"I think there always needs to be a reason for this, right?"

"Besides, if you intended to disagree from the beginning, why did you even come to this banquet?"

"Aren't you afraid this is a trap (there is no such thing as a trap in this world, but there are similar stories, just like Akainu can say 'when it rains, it pours'), and in the end you won't be able to leave?"

"Don't tell me you trust me! To be honest, I don't even trust myself. I'm the kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve my goals..."

As Char spoke, he gave a look to CP0 outside the tavern, who immediately offered him a cigar.

"call……"

Char Aznable puffed on his cigarette while waiting for Issho and Aramaki's reply.

"We never said we wouldn't join the World Government!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xiao shook his head at Xia Ya.

"We just don't plan to join the World Government right now..."

Then, Huang Mu continued, following Yi Xiao's words.

"Oh?! What do you mean by this?"

Xia was taken aback, and continued to ask.

"To be precise, our joining the World Government comes with conditions..."

After thinking for a moment, Yixiao addressed Xia.

"How dare you! You dare to negotiate after being personally invited by His Highness Xia Ya! You're a bunch of ignorant fools! Do you know how many people in the entire world can be personally invited by His Highness Xia Ya?!"

Upon hearing this, the CP0 member responsible for lighting Char's cigarette angrily addressed Aramaki and Ichisho.

"Hey! Let them talk..."

In response, Char patted the CP0 member next to him, signaling him to shut up.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Ya extended his hand to Issho and Aramaki, and said generously, "State your conditions! If even I cannot meet your conditions, then I'm afraid there is no one else in this world who can."

"Forehead……"

Seeing Xia's extravagant wealth, Yixiao and Huangmu were initially taken aback. Then, after exchanging a glance and a brief silence, they said almost in unison, "We want to become Marine Admirals! Can you make that happen for us?!"

"..."

Char's face darkened at this.

"Pfft hahaha..."
