Shirou's clones number 30 million

"how is this possible?"

Although the rebuttal was decisive, the people of Tianlong knew that they were right.

It's all about yourself. Shake hands, and all your thoughts will be crystal clear. There's absolutely no room for lying.

Black Dragon Shirou has Fairy Tail companions, Tohsaka Shirou has Rin and Sakura by his side, Mizukage Shirou is already married, Gary Shirou has Nero, and Slime Shirou also has goblins as companions.

There is no one I can completely trust but myself.

Even the old butler Hyman could be asked to do things, but he couldn't be trusted completely.

The most obvious difference is that they all have someone to watch the stars with, while they are all alone.

At this moment, Slime Shirou suddenly spoke:

"Thanks to the supplies you sent, my territory is almost fully established. It's not good to keep taking things for free, so I won't take your things for nothing."

"In exchange, I've left some of the recovery potions I made in the treasury. You can take them and use them."

"Recovery potions should be very attractive to your soon-to-be-established Adventurers' Guild."

"Oh... As expected of me, you really know what I'm doing," Shirou said with a smile.

Although I already knew when we shook hands, it was still nice to hear him say it again in person.

Even if your hands or feet are broken, as long as the broken parts are intact and the time has not been long, you can recover completely with rehabilitation medicine.

This medicine is truly very useful for those who venture out to sea.

"I also need some recovery medicine," Black Dragon Shirou suddenly said. "But I don't have any treasure. The only thing I can use to trade is some gold coins from the Fairy Tail world."

Slime Shirou quickly said:

"These items don't need to be traded. Everyone has their own, so feel free to take and use them. However, the quantity is limited. Small quantities are fine, but for larger quantities, you'll need to pre-order."

"By the way, you all know what herbs look like, so go and look for them in your own worlds."

"As long as you can find herbs, you can turn into slimes and synthesize your own healing potions."

indeed.

Shirou nodded slightly; that was a good idea.

However, it seems that there are no herbs of that appearance in the One Piece world.

Even so, I can try turning into a slime and experiment with herbs from the One Piece world to see what I can synthesize.

"Although we have your predator abilities, we haven't shared the Great Sage's abilities, so we can't determine the effects of the potions we create."

"You can leave the potions you make here. When I have time, I will come in and use the Great Sage to help you identify them."

"Thank you, then it's settled."

"Don't be so polite, we're all just friends, what's mine is yours..."

……

One Piece world.

That morning, the sun had just risen, the temperature had not yet reached its peak, and a gentle breeze was blowing on my face, which was very pleasant.

On this beautiful day, a grand opening ceremony is being held on Island 31 of the Sabaody Archipelago.

"...I hereby declare the Adventurers' Guild officially established!"

Shirou's clone, Acnologia, was standing in front of the guild gate, emanating a faint aura of power.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of former slaves that Shirou had arranged in advance rushed over impatiently.

"I want to sign up!"

"Excuse me, can becoming an adventurer really get your wanted level removed?"

"I need to issue a quest and request an escort to the Water Seven!"

Among the group of shills were also some people who were genuinely attracted by the benefits advertised by the guild.

On the third floor of the building opposite the Adventurers' Guild, Shirou and Hyman sat across from each other, drinking tea and looking down at the bustling street below.

"Were these all planted by you, Hyman?"

"No, I did not make the decision on my own without the young master's instructions."

"It seems like we've got off to a good start. Once we recruit a few more people, we can try opening branches in other places. However, I'm having trouble managing too many branches."

Temporary clones are fine, but if you want a clone to stay in the guild long-term, you'll need to allocate at least one-third of your chakra.

In this way, given the clone's normal rate of chakra reduction, maintaining this state for three to five years should not be a problem.

Of course, battles do significantly reduce chakra; after a major battle, chakra is quickly depleted.

The problem is that chakra is only a part of one's strength, and even if one doesn't use chakra to fight, it doesn't affect one's strength.

"If I calculate it this way, if I can maintain a clone for a year, I can probably create 15 clones."

"15 guild branches are just a drop in the ocean compared to the vast ocean."

“If the young master is short of manpower, we can transfer personnel from CP0 or the Navy,” Butler Hyman said hesitantly.

Absolutely not!

Shirou objected without hesitation.

She was going to fight against the Navy and the World Government, so how could she do that?

However, it doesn't matter if the navy personnel are retired or disabled.

……

The island where Füschelteig's fleet docked.

Upon spotting a newsbird flying overhead, the naval captain, who was discussing sending the slaves home with Tiger, suddenly said:

"Wait a minute, Mr. Tiger, I need to buy a newspaper first."

"Okay, give me one too."

After paying, the two picked up the newspaper and started reading.

The front page of the newspaper carried the news that the Adventurers' Guild was about to open.

Among them, the benefits of the Adventurers' Guild are recorded. The most attractive one is that you can go to sea without a bounty if you fly under the banner of the Adventurers' Guild.

The flag is very eye-catching, featuring a small bird perched on a tree branch.

"What kind of banner is this? A bird?"

"However, this should reduce the number of pirates."

The next moment, a wanted poster suddenly fell out of the newspaper.

Ferscherttiger, bounty of 3 million Berries.

Crime: Infiltrating Mary Geoise and murdering multiple Celestial Dragons.

As for the liberation of slaves, not a single word was mentioned.

The naval captain's expression changed, and he immediately said:

“Mr. Tiger, please leave immediately. I will pretend I didn’t see you. I will arrange for those commoners who were slaves to be sent home.”

"Thank you very much, then I'll leave it to you."

Fuschelteig nodded slightly, not refusing his offer.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Aren't you going to run away?

Section 35, Chapter Thirty-Five: Aren't you going to run away?

Boa Hancock is sixteen years old this year, and more than three years have passed since she was sold into slavery.

For the past three years, she has been living a hellish life.

They often have to fight with wild beasts and other slaves for the amusement of the Celestial Dragons.

At the same time, they also had to do odd jobs such as cleaning toilets and carrying garbage, and they were never full.

Occasionally, I also participate in some performances.

For example, if the Celestial Dragons wanted to watch a realistic theatrical performance, it would definitely include corpses, animals, and enemies, most of which would be played by slaves.

Fortunately, she was a petite woman, so she didn't have to be carried on the backs of Celestial Dragons like male slaves.

Even so, seeing the slaves around her dying day by day, her hatred for the Celestial Dragons grew stronger with each passing day.

This kind of life is truly hopeless.

She wanted to end her own life countless times, but when she thought of her two younger sisters, she could only force herself to cheer up and comfort them as she did so.

Not long ago, her family made a bet and lost to another Celestial Dragon family.

Forced to separate from her two younger sisters, she, as a slave, had no way to refuse and could only pray in her heart that they would be safe and sound.

On the fifth day after being transferred to her new location, a Celestial Dragon's servant suddenly summoned her and another girl of the same age and made them fight.

She was no stranger to this kind of thing; Celestial Dragons were all like this, doing whatever they pleased and acting on a whim.

On that very day, she met her current owner, a little boy who was eight or nine years old.

While she was carefully observing, she suddenly heard the other person say that whoever lost would have to eat the zoo caterpillar fruit.

It's a good thing that we don't have to fight to the death, but eating the Caterpillar Fruit—absolutely not!

Although she thought this way, in order to avoid revealing her origins from Amazon Lily, she neither used the Nine Snakes Secret Technique nor the Armament Haki she had secretly cultivated.

On the contrary, the opponent, once in a favorable position, is relentless and keeps fighting him to the death.

In the end, Hancock lost the match.

At that moment, she felt utterly hopeless.

However, the Celestial Dragon boy did not produce a Devil Fruit; instead, he laughed and said he was just joking.

'What a nasty kid. He'll definitely grow up to be a scumbag.'

After changing owners, life seemed unchanged, yet it also seemed quite different.
