Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

Luo and Blue, however, already knew about it and did not show any surprise.

"By the way, Captain, what are the conditions for awakening Conqueror's Haki?" Bonney asked with a smile.

“You can awaken if you want to become king,” Zhang Shan replied.

"Want to be king?" Bonnie stroked her chin with her little hand, and after a few seconds, the little girl laughed loudly, "I understand!"

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the group, Bonnie's aura underwent a dramatic change, her body transforming from a loli into a mature woman!

The next second, an overwhelming aura erupted from Bonnie.

"From today onwards, you must call me Queen!"

numb.

Whether it's Zhang Shan or the other three.

They had only two words for Bonnie's fruit: awesome!

Zhang Shan, in particular, suddenly remembered that before he traveled through time, his teacher had asked the students to write down what they wanted to do in the future.

Some are about scientists, some are about doctors, police officers, lawyers, astronauts, and so on.

If these things were applied to Bonnie, she could become the corresponding future in the next second.

"Ah, those were my lost youth!"

As he was reflecting on this, Zhang Shan suddenly paused, realizing that Habach possessed some kind of ability.

Choosing the one that is advantageous to oneself from countless futures—isn't that somewhat similar to Bonnie's annual harvest?

Just as Zhang Shan was about to continue his wild ideas, Bonnie suddenly appeared in front of him. Upon getting close, the subtle fragrance emanating from Bonnie brought Zhang Shan back to his senses.

Looking at the beautiful woman so close to him, Zhang Shan asked, "Who let you come here? Sit back down!"

After being scolded, Bonnie reverted to her little girl form, sitting on the ground looking pitiful.

Zhang Shan continued, "As for the advancement of Conqueror's Haki, it's rather magical. Only when one's belief is strong enough to control the Ten-Tails can one successfully advance to the next level."

"What's this Ten-Tails...?" Law said helplessly.

"That's not the point. The point is unwavering faith!" Blue said with piercing eyes, "Captain! Please help me awaken Conqueror's Haki!"

duang~

Withdrawing his fist, Zhang Shan said speechlessly, "You didn't listen to a word I said! I already told you, only those who want to become kings can awaken Conqueror's Haki. I'm asking you, what kind of king do you want to be?"

Before Blue could speak, Luffy blurted out, "I'm going to become the Pirate King!"

"It's even called Xizhilang! Don't interrupt!"

Blue sat on the ground for a while, then laughed and said, "I have absolutely no idea what kind of king I want to be..."

Zhang Shan and the others didn't mind and laughed, "You don't have to force Conqueror's Haki. Maybe one day you'll suddenly understand and awaken it naturally. Now, let's continue talking about Observation Haki and Armament Haki! Well, Armament Haki isn't too difficult. You'll remember it after experiencing it twice with your bodies. The main thing is Observation Haki."

So, to the horror of the group, Zhang Shan transformed into his Asura form and began his pursuit.

Somewhere, Hill and Gray picked some fruit and looked at Zhang Shan, who was happily chasing after several people. Hill said, "Why did Luo and Blue join in too? Weren't they saying that Zhang Shan's training method was too cruel and that they were going to train with Klin?"

"Who knows, maybe he suddenly had a change of heart."

"But, Uncle, aren't you planning to train them? I remember you seemed quite happy when you coached Zhang Shan before."

“A bunch of idiots, they haven’t even mastered advanced Armament Haki in half a year. Teaching them is an insult to my life experience!” At this point, Gray looked at Hill and said, “You haven’t trained in a long time either. Aren’t you planning to get stronger along with me?”

"I'm not interested. My man will protect me."

Meanwhile, on the ship.

Klin sat cross-legged on the watchtower, contemplating the way of the sword.

"The real chaos is about to begin, and I can't hold the captain back!"

Time flies, and the day Luffy and his crew promised to meet has arrived.

On the shore, Luffy, carrying a bundle even bigger than himself, bowed and smiled at the people behind him, saying, "Thank you all for taking care of me during this time. After I reunite with my crew, I will come to the New World as soon as possible. The title of Pirate King will definitely belong to me!"

"Yes, yes, you will definitely become the Pirate King." Zhang Shan nodded: "Just don't forget to help me find pure gold."

"Don't worry, Nami remembers!"

Watching Luffy set off into the distance, Hill couldn't help but worry, "Will that guy really make it to Sabaody Archipelago safely?"

"Whatever, I won't die anyway."

"That's true, after all, his transformation a couple of days ago was just too outrageous..."

Chapter 136 Goodbye Ace

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku has stepped down to the second line, and former Admiral Akainu has taken over the position of Fleet Admiral."

Today's newspaper articles are absolutely mind-blowing. The change of Fleet Admiral is already a major event that will shake the seas, but Akainu's next move will completely ignite this already turbulent sea!

"The Navy has declared war on the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Zhang Shan was shocked when he saw the news in the newspaper.

"No, how dare Akainu?" Zhang Shan asked, puzzled. "Given the current state of their navy—one admiral, one fleet admiral, and a few incompetent vice admirals—how can they possibly fight Whitebeard?"

Because right after Akainu took over, Garp also retired and is now focused on training new Marines and cleaning up the new pirates in Paradise.

As a result, there are no Supernovas among the pirates this year; they were all eliminated by that old man Garp.

Obviously, if Akainu and Whitebeard were to go to war, Garp would not be involved.

It's possible that the Warring States period would follow, but getting the old man to put in the effort would be a bit difficult, after all, he's already retired!

I looked at other news and saw some information about the Straw Hat crew. It said that they were going to reunite in the Sabaody Archipelago and were even recruiting soldiers to take down the Four Emperors.

Zhang Shan and the others didn't believe it. After all, given Luffy's personality, he might still be adrift at sea, so how could he possibly be recruiting soldiers in the Sabaody Archipelago?

"The Navy will be fighting the Whitebeard Pirates in ten days. Should we go watch the spectacle?"

“No! I want to go to Egghead Island to find my dad!” Bonnie said.

Zhang Shan didn't bother with what was going on with Whitebeard. Since Bonney was going to Egghead Island, he decided to take the opportunity to visit Wano Country and see what Hades was all about.

"Alright! Let's go! To Wano Country!"

Why Wano Country?

"Because I want to go!"

……

The climate in the New World is even more chaotic, making it somewhat difficult to reach Wano Country safely.

They are currently near Dressrosa, the closest of the Four Emperors to them is Big Mom, and Wano Country is still quite far away.

Meanwhile, on Luffy's side...

He arrived at the town beneath the Red Line carrying a huge bundle bigger than himself. After learning that he needed to ride a bubble into the sea to reach the Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy decisively chose another path.

"Hey! You have to pay extra to take the elevator with that big bag!"

"Hehehe! Got it!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, Luffy took out a piece of gold from his bundle.

This is the travel money Bonnie gave him; I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Using the official elevator, Luffy successfully crossed the Red Line and arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago on a sightseeing boat.

At this moment, Zoro had already arrived at Rayleigh's place first. After learning that he was the first person to arrive, Zoro was speechless.

"Seriously, have all these guys gotten lost?"

"Forget it, I'll go find some fun first, and wait for these guys while I'm at it."

Both Rayleigh and Aunt Xia were trying not to laugh.

Zoro had just stepped outside when he saw Luffy carrying a small backpack. The two smiled at each other and went fishing together for some leisure time.

A few days later, the navy officially set sail!

Legend has it that Fleet Admiral Akainu, along with Admiral Kizaru and 100,000 elite Marines, set out for Whitebeard's territory.

The war was not broadcast live, and no one knew exactly what happened. The outcome of the war was not reported to the world until three days later through newspapers.

"Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, was killed on the spot by the Navy. More than a dozen division commanders suffered heavy casualties. Among the few surviving commanders, Fire Fist Ace is now leading the charge and vows to take revenge on the Navy."

Looking at the contents of the newspaper, Zhang Shan laughed and said, "This 'vow to take revenge' part must have been added by the news outlet itself."

“Whoever said it, I think Ace must hate the Navy to death right now.” Hill pushed up her glasses, which had no prescription, and said, “Should we go find Ace? After all, we met once.”

They had met Ace once when they killed Blackbeard, and Ace had left a pretty good impression on Hill. Now that Ace was facing a major life-changing event, it was only natural for them to visit him.

Taking out the Life Paper Ace had given them, and amidst Bonney's slight dissatisfaction, the group finally found Ace and his crew after a week of arduous travel.

At this point, the original Four Emperors pirate crew was reduced to just a few members.

Ace, Marco, Foil, and Diamond Joe.

The Four Emperors' crew, which originally had more than a dozen captains, is now reduced to just four.

Oh, Ace is now the captain of the second Whitebeard Pirates, which means they only have three captains left, as well as some weak underlings.

Zhang Shan's arrival made Ace very nervous.

After all, even though they are almost wiped out now, they are still nominally one of the Four Emperors. As long as they are killed, and given Zhang Shan's current reputation, becoming the new Four Emperors is a sure thing.

Zhang Shan, who was walking at the front, sat cross-legged on the ground and smiled at Ace, saying, "Long time no see, Luffy's big brother."

"Luffy?" Ace was stunned for a moment, then couldn't suppress a smile: "You've met Luffy?!"

“Yes, I’ve been teaching him all year,” Zhang Shan nodded and said with a smile.

"I see. Thank you so much for protecting Luffy!" Ace thanked him sincerely. During the year Luffy disappeared, Ace was extremely worried and even trained hard for a while, planning to cause trouble for Kizaru.

Unfortunately, Kizaru's strength is among the best of the Admirals, and Ace, who didn't even have the ability to foresee the future, was no match for Kizaru.

If Marco hadn't risked his life to help him escape, Ace would probably have gone with Whitebeard.

Now that they know Luffy has been taken care of by Zhang Shan for the past year, and considering what happened with Blackbeard, Ace's gratitude towards Zhang Shan has deepened even further.

Moreover, judging from Zhang Shan's appearance, he didn't seem to be there to cause trouble, which relieved Ace.
