Chapter 153 Minos's Indifference
Alabasta.
Black Robin stood quietly by the window, holding a newspaper in his hand, his eyes revealing a mixture of expectation and confusion.
She looked at the newspaper and murmured, "When will the man in the straw hat you mentioned finally appear, Minos the Fifth Emperor? Am I really going to have to wait here forever?"
"Even if I did join the Straw Hat crew, would I really be expected to pass on information to you?"
However, when Robin saw the terrifying Minos in the newspaper, an idea immediately formed in his mind.
……
East China Sea, Windmill Town.
This is the hometown of naval hero Garp.
In Windmill Town in the East Blue, atop a towering cliff, two boys stood side by side, each holding a pirate newspaper. Shock was written on their faces.
"The summit of the ocean has actually been defeated?" One of the freckled boys stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
"Shanks is so strong, how could he possibly lose!" the boy in the straw hat shouted excitedly.
"Besides, there's Uncle Yasopp with the long nose and Uncle Ben Beckman who smokes all the time. They're both so good, I simply don't believe they can be defeated!"
As he spoke, the boy's eyes gradually reddened, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Seeing Luffy's tearful face, Ace felt a pang of heartache and quickly comforted him, "Luffy, don't worry. I'll be setting sail in a few days, and I'll definitely try to find out more about Shanks and the others for you then."
Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately looked up at Ace, his eyes filled with anticipation, and exclaimed, "Ace, you absolutely must help me find out what's going on with Shanks and the others!"
"Once I set sail, I'm going to personally beat that despicable Shadow King to a pulp!"
Looking at Luffy's unwavering gaze, Ace couldn't help but chuckle, then said, "Luffy, you might not have a chance. After I set sail, I plan to challenge that Shadow King guy."
"I want to see just how capable he is that he can defeat the top of the sea."
Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately panicked and said, "Ace, you're not allowed to go! I'll go and defeat that despicable guy myself after I set sail!"
The two boys stood on the cliff, discussing how they would defeat the Shadow King after setting sail, their voices carried on the sea breeze.
At this moment, they do not yet understand the cruelty of this world. Their so-called ignorance may only be realized after they have been severely taught a lesson by reality.
……
In the mysterious and unpredictable waters of the New World, there stands a Serbian island.
On the island, a magnificent castle stands tall, its interior decorated with gold and glitter, exuding luxury.
Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu sat steadily on the enormous and dazzling chairs, exuding a unique aura.
Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head slightly, looked at Minos beside him, and a teasing smile appeared on his face. He said, "I really didn't expect that the main body would cause such a commotion in Whitebeard's territory!"
Minos held a newspaper in his hand, his eyes focused on the contents, without looking up, and simply replied, "That old man Whitebeard is too arrogant. I just cleverly outmaneuvered him with Dragon Slayer Magic."
He paused slightly, a hint of disdain on his lips, and continued, "And his captains are utterly useless. I could easily defeat them."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu smiled faintly and echoed, "Whitebeard and the Red-Haired Pirates are just like each other, acting arrogantly and domineeringly. They really deserve to be taught a profound lesson."
However, his tone gradually became heavy as he slowly said, "Main body, have you noticed that our situation in the new world seems to be getting more and more difficult, and we feel like we can't hold on to anything alone?"
Cheng Xiaoyu frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes, and continued, "We have completely offended the Navy, pirates, civilians, nobles, as well as the Red-Haired Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates."
He emphasized, "Especially the Navy, the Red-Haired Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates. The conflict between us and them has reached a point of no return. The current situation really has a sense of impending doom!"
Upon hearing this, Minos gently put down the newspaper in his hand, slowly turned his gaze to Cheng Xiaoyu, his eyes deep and calm, and said indifferently, "What you said is indeed true. Our current situation is not very optimistic, and the road ahead seems to be completely blocked."
At this point, his tone suddenly shifted, becoming more confident and resolute: "But this isn't an economic war, and we don't plan on developing any economic projects. So, what can they do even if they cut off our supplies?"
"We possess unsolvable capabilities granted by the system, and we do not need to rely on their support or resources at all."
Minos raised his head slightly, his eyes gleaming with ambition, and continued, "We just need to wait patiently. When we break through to the King level, that will be the time for us to devour the entire world."
"At that time, whenever we encounter someone, we won't need to ask their identity; we'll just kill them! We'll wreak havoc and let the whole world know how powerful we are!"
"Those old-fashioned guys should have been eliminated long ago; they might as well become nourishment for us to devour."
"Most importantly, once we become god-level powerhouses, the vast world ahead will be ours to roam freely!"
Cheng Xiaoyu nodded to himself after hearing Minos's words. Upon reflection, it was indeed true.
Their shadow soldiers don't need to eat, giving them a natural advantage that makes them seem invincible.
However, he still had some worries in his heart and couldn't help but say, "That's true, but I'm afraid that the Red-Haired Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will join forces against us. If that happens, it will be quite troublesome."
At this point, Cheng Xiaoyu frowned slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Of course, neither you nor I will panic. At worst, we can hide in the Four Seas and come back to fight when we break through to the King level."
However, doing so would appear somewhat awkward, which is rather incongruous with our noble status as 'King'!
