So, apart from Jabba, Shanks brought a total of five people with him this time. Ben Beckman, as Shanks' first mate, is very strong and can at least go toe-to-toe with Robert.
Lucky Roux and Yasopp are not only strong fighters, but also old acquaintances of Robert. Even if they fall into his hands, he won't kill them out of consideration for their relationship.
The ship's doctor, Hongo, came along to prevent Cologne from being affected by the fighting, so they could provide immediate medical assistance.
Finally, there's the navigator Bendick Snake. Sailing the Grand Line, navigators are indispensable; they're essential personnel for any voyage.
After Shanks landed, Yasopp also went ashore on the Sabaody Archipelago. His mission was to find a secluded high point and use his Observation Haki, which allows him to monitor the local situation from an extremely long distance, while the others stayed on the ship to wait for backup.
Shanks initially thought Robert had captured Yasopp and snatched the Den Den Mushi from him, but to his surprise, Robert said he had searched his own ship.
"Stop beating around the bush. I did bring the person, but I didn't leave them on the ship. You have a backup plan, and so do I. I will absolutely not bring the person out before I see Cologne."
Robert said in a light voice, "You'll see Cologne soon. After all, that kid is much stronger than the average person, and you don't need to worry about his safety. Even if the Sabaody Archipelago is in chaos, he won't be in danger."
Jabba finally lost his composure: "Where did you hide my son?!"
Robert sneered, "Now you're getting anxious? If I were you, I wouldn't have gambled my son's safety in the first place to play some kind of trickery with a madman!"
The call was unilaterally ended, and the three men looked at each other in bewilderment. If Robert had made some clear demands, things would have been easier for them. What they feared most was the situation like this, where they couldn't even see his people and could only be led by the nose.
“This can’t go on. We need to at least confirm that Cologne is on the island.”
As soon as Rayleigh finished speaking, Jabba's eyes were fixed on one direction: "Cologne!"
A fleet of naval bubble cars sped up, carrying two arrogant Celestial Dragons.
Since chaos broke out on the island, the Navy stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago began to bring the Celestial Dragons to the base for unified protection, so that they could suppress pirates without hesitation.
Among the two Celestial Dragons this time, there was an arrogant man with golden hair and beard, who was calmly riding on the shoulders of a giant child, surveying the scenery along the way from his elevated position.
Who else could the giant child be but Jabba's son, Collon?
In an instant, several world-renowned pirates were enraged. That bastard Robert actually handed Cologne over to the Celestial Dragons!
Jabba finally broke down and charged forward without saying goodbye to anyone. As soon as Jabba moved, Shanks and Rayleigh naturally couldn't stand idly by and followed closely behind.
Robert watched the three men's actions with a smile, then said to the girl beside him, "Plan complete, we should proceed with the next performance."
Jabba heard an ethereal humming in his ear, almost inaudible in the howling wind, but then the scenery in front of him suddenly changed, and his son Colon turned into a tall man covered in tatters!
"This is... a Tyrant Bear!"
The Navy's bullets had already started firing as they charged. Jabba was at the forefront, his body shrouded in Conqueror's Haki. Some of the less resilient Navy soldiers had already fainted, and the Celestial Dragons were even worse off, some of them so frightened that they wet their pants.
A large number of reinforcements poured out from the nearby naval base. The three veteran pirates immediately realized that they had been tricked. The Celestial Dragon was riding Coron, who was Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. They had unknowingly fallen under some kind of illusion!
"go!"
Rayleigh reacted the fastest. Now was definitely not the time to clash with the Navy again. All three of them were wearing cloaks and hoods and their identities had not yet been revealed. There was still time to leave.
Shanks also reacted, and together with Rayleigh, they stepped forward and lifted Jabba up from the left and right. The three Conqueror's Haki combined and exploded to their maximum extent, and none of the Marines present were spared, and they all finally lost consciousness.
Even though Shanks tried to avoid it, the attack on the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago still happened, and the Navy's deployment of admirals was inevitable.
What's most infuriating is that they themselves were the ones who attacked the Celestial Dragons!
Just as the three left, a large mound suddenly rose from the ground, and a blond youth emerged from it.
"Comrade Bartholomew Xiong! We've come to take you home!"
Taking leave at noon
A few relatives came over unexpectedly, so we had a family dinner. I'll post this chapter at noon and the one in the evening together.
Chapter 5: I have the unorthodox script, how are you guys, the hardcore players, going to beat me?
The blond youth was none other than Sabo, and the one who dug his way to this place was also an old acquaintance of Robert's, the giant transvestite and the Western Army commander Mori.
Robert never forgot the deal he made with Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
Rescuing the bear seemed incredibly easy to Robert; what was so difficult about taking away a mindless robot? The real challenge lay with Vegapunk.
Kuma was created by Vegapunk. His last request after sealing his memories was to guard the Thousand Sunny for Luffy and his crew for two years. If any member of the Straw Hat crew returned, Kuma would be completely erased of his last bit of self-awareness and become a machine that could be controlled by anyone.
If after all that effort, Bonney's illness is cured, Luffy's ship is secured, and it's time for Kuma to completely surrender, but he gets rescued by the Revolutionary Army, how will Vegapunk explain that?
So Robert wanted to pin the blame for rescuing the bear on Red Hair, and the method he used was, of course, his good daughter Uta.
Robert chose Brooke's concert as the location for the hostage exchange in order to use Brooke's singing to mask Uta's singing!
Actually, when the red-haired guys gathered around the concert area, Uta started secretly singing next to them.
Jabba was the first to be hypnotized, followed by Rayleigh who arrived late, and finally Shanks, who was constantly surrounded by various Haki defenses.
Uta's hypnosis this time was only targeted at the three of them, and the singing world she constructed was a one-to-one replica of the real world. As for their bodies in the real world, Uta controlled them to go to Tree Island No. 66.
The only difference between the world in the song and the real world is that Bartholomew Kuma, who was originally sent by Robert to the Celestial Dragons to become their mount, has been replaced in the other world with the image of Jabba's son!
When the three began to attack the Navy, Uta immediately released his control over them under Robert's command, returning their consciousness to their original bodies.
Robert had been holding back a grudge. The reason he loved the world of One Piece was always its boundless imagination, where the Devil Fruits had all sorts of amazing abilities.
The idea that one can be so domineering as to be above everything is utter nonsense!
Robert began to learn to trust his companions, these friends he had spent so much effort gathering around him. Each of them was capable of standing on their own, so why did he keep them hidden away in the safe rear and not use them?
Robert has an extraordinary number of cards at his disposal, many of which are bug-level abilities. The chemical reaction they create when put together is simply invincible.
Shanks and his two companions have only managed to guess Sugar's card so far, but they never expected that it was Uta's Devil Fruit ability that hypnotized them.
Just as the three old pirates were quickly shaking off the Navy and considering their next move, Uta's song had already lured Jesus, who thought he was well hidden, into the world of song.
When the Den Den Mushi next to him rang, his attention was momentarily distracted by the ringing sound, but before he knew it, Uta had pulled him into the environment.
"Abandon all plans and evacuate immediately!"
Before Yasopp could understand why Shanks would issue such a strange order, he felt a chilling power in the center of the archipelago.
He subconsciously extended his Observation Haki, and before he could even realize what was happening, his eyes gave him the answer directly.
Five enormous figures appeared on the island, shrouded in dark smoke.
Yasopp, with his extensive knowledge, immediately recognized them as five awakened Zoan-type Mythical Beasts!
Immediately afterwards, demonic monsters began to appear all over the Sabaody Archipelago. The Sabaody Archipelago was already in chaos, and now the appearance of these monsters turned it into a living hell.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yasopp leaped down from the tall tree and sped toward Tree Island No. 13.
He kept dialing his companion's Den Den Mushi along the way, but now the island was filled with an aura of destruction, and the Den Den Mushi trembled and couldn't get through at all.
Yasopp burst into Shakky's extortion bar, yelling, "Boss lady! Something terrible has happened on the island! Has Redfield come yet?!"
Robert's voice drifted from beside me: "So you've been hiding Master here. No wonder I couldn't find him even after scanning the whole island with Observation Haki."
The chaos around him seemed to burst like bubbles. To his surprise, Yasopp found himself still standing motionless at the top of that tall tree, and the island was still bustling with activity, except for some minor disturbances caused by a small group of pirates.
He immediately realized he'd been tricked, and hurriedly pulled out his Den Den Mushi, reporting dejectedly, "Something's happened, boss! I... I fell for that kid's trick... I exposed Boss Xiaqi..."
A furious curse came from the other end of the phone: "I knew agreeing to help you wouldn't end well!"
Jabba said dejectedly, "Now look what's happened. I've lost my son, and you've lost your wife."
Shanks said helplessly to the Den Den Mushi, "Let's go back to the ship, we'll take care of things over there."
-----------------
Robert sat at the bar, and the proprietress, Xia Qi, poured him a drink with a helpless expression: "Actually, they had already guessed that you would come to see me."
Robert nodded without surprise: "I'm not one to stir up trouble, but Shanks is a shady character."
“Since I can kidnap Jabba’s son, I can naturally kidnap you too. Since he already guessed that I have no bottom line, he shouldn’t have let Rayleigh get involved.”
Xia Qi shook her head helplessly: "Even if Rayleigh doesn't agree to help them, do you think you'll let us old folks go?"
Robert revealed an embarrassed expression as his little trick was exposed: "Oh, that's true. Simply kidnapping Shanks's people won't threaten him. I can only drag a few of his predecessors who were kind to him back then into this mess. So even if Rayleigh doesn't agree, I'll still find a way to kidnap you."
"But I'm not here to tie people up now. The game is over, and I'm the winner."
Xia Qi shrugged: "Then let's wait. Those losers will be here soon."
Robert quickly waved his hand: "You must be joking. Do you think I could leave if those three big men came?"
Although Shakky was old and her beauty had faded, her smile as she turned to Robert was still full of charm: "But I've already been kidnapped by you, and you're using me to threaten them~"
Robert's Observation Haki had already scanned the bar inside and out, but he still couldn't find his master. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, since Yasopp had clearly said that his master was here.
Robert sighed, "Stop wasting time. I've already found out that Master is here. Why force me to be so undignified?"
Xia Qi looked utterly astonished: "Hey, hey, hey, we've known each other for a long time, you're not really going to do something to me, are you?"
Robert nodded seriously, while Xia Qi said with a helpless expression:
"Alright, alright, let me tell you the truth. Even if you kill Shanks, he still won't be able to hand over your master."
"Because of your master..."
"They ran away long ago!"
Chapter 6: I hadn't even finished using my skills and you guys already surrendered.
Robert was taken aback: "What do you mean, 'ran away'?"
Shakky said with a relaxed expression, "It means exactly what it says. You have no idea how strong Redfield is. I heard from Jabba that if it weren't for covering your little lover's escape, he and Shanks would never have been able to catch your master."
"In order to keep Shanks from personally pursuing your little lover, your master has exhausted too much energy and can no longer maintain his youthful state. He was dragged down by Shanks' youthful body."
"Then he was sent to Impel Down, but a few days later you went to Elbaf and demanded that Redfield be exchanged for Jabba's son."
"Shanks is a sentimental person. He took your master with him to Impel Down hoping to bring him out again, but your master had already escaped."
At this point, Shakky burst into laughter: "Speaking of which, they really don't learn their lesson. Redfield has lived in Impel Down for over twenty years. Sending him to Impel Down is like sending him back to his own home."
Robert was speechless. Right, Impel Down couldn't even hold the Golden Lion, how could it possibly hold his own master?
"But why did the Red-Haired Pirates say that Master is with you?"
Shaki handed Robert a cocktail she had carefully mixed over half a day: "He said he would come to find me. Speaking of which, you two are really exactly alike."
"When you heard that your master had been arrested, your first thought was to kidnap Jaba's son and drag him down with you."
"That bastard Redfield doesn't even think about getting revenge on Shanks, but instead he's making threats to capture me and drag Raleigh into this mess."
