Konoha's Mission Master

After all, Marco had promised to take care of her before leaving, and even her training in physical skills and Haki was guided by Whitebeard.

The remaining two issues of the World Economic Herald did not contain much useful information.

In summary, the past two years have been chaotic. The World Government and the Revolutionary Army are at war, and pirates are constantly fighting over territory.

For Yakumo, the most important things were probably the establishment of the Judgment Organization and Shyvana's attack on the Celestial Dragons; Whitebeard's battles against his enemies were not so important.

It's hard to reason with a damned devil.

Despite repeated warnings not to trigger Hashirama's cellular will, Whitebeard simply wouldn't listen... What could Yakumo possibly do?

Yakumo estimates that the Whitebeard Pirates are probably searching the world for him now, hoping to continue repairing Whitebeard's body.

But they will never understand what the ultimate limit of life is!

Yakumo put down his newspaper, while the other two continued reading with great interest. Through these newspapers, a magnificent picture was slowly unfolding.

This was a chaotic era, where everyone set out for their own ideals, creating a great world where heroes rose up everywhere.

The World Government could not stop the Void Century from being exposed, nor could it stop the dreams of people all over the world, for the ultimate goal of the world.

The Pirate King's secret treasure!

Half an hour later, the two put down their newspapers, still somewhat reluctant to leave.

Masako Mori: "Who will reign supreme in this world?"

"Leaving aside the few of us, who do you think will become king?"

Yakumo asked Mori Masako while drinking her milk tea.

Masako Mori immediately replied, "Blackbeard Teach."

"Why not Whitebeard? After all, he was the strongest warrior in the ocean," Yakumo asked curiously.

“Didn’t you say that he’s too old and has given up his ambition to become the Pirate King?” Masako Mori replied.

"The future Pirate King is not Blackbeard, but Luffy."

"Luffy, the one who defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea? But he's not even an Emperor..."

Masako Mori asked in bewilderment.

Yakumo didn't answer any further. Instead, she finished the last sip of her milk tea and chewed the ice cubes in her mouth.

Then he explained to Masako Mori.

"Because...he carries the weight of destiny."

Before the will of Heaven, the emperors of the sea could only become mere supporting characters.

"You mean the title of Pirate King is destined to belong to Luffy... and no one else can take it away?" Masako Mori asked Yakumo in a low voice, as if she had heard the most secret truth in the world.

"That's right..."

"But we can."

Chapter 319 Proof of Hegemony: Meeting and Negotiation

Yes, we can…

Masako Mori nodded firmly, her tone resolute.

In her eyes... Yakumo is invincible.

You Gu Qianxue asked, "Master, what are you two talking about?"

"They were talking about something earth-shattering."

"I understand!"

"Oh, tell me about it?"

Yakumo asked Yukotsu Chiyuki with some curiosity.

"Of course, we should join forces to push Mary Geoise aside."

“That’s right. As expected of my disciple, but this matter still needs to be planned in detail.” Yakumo greatly admired Yukotsu Chiyuki’s courage.

"None of that matters, let's go shopping first!"

Masako Mori stood up and offered her suggestion.

"Let's go."

Yakumo got up to pay the bill and gave the World Economic Herald to the owner of the milk tea shop, receiving a discount of 999 Berries.

Yes, the boss removed 0.3 berries.

The working-class area and commercial street.

The capital of Goa has four commercial streets, each selling local specialties, food, clothing, and weapons.

Masako Mori decided to go to the food street to fill her stomach first.

The three walked for more than ten minutes before finally arriving at the food street. The roadside was lined with all sorts of restaurants, some serving barbecue, some special steaks, and others stews and rum.

These stores all share the characteristic of offering large portions to satisfy hunger, which is very suitable for the background of the One Piece world where everyone has a big appetite. With a strong physique, people will naturally consume more energy and need to replenish a lot of food.

"It's so greasy, I want to eat some light vegetables tonight."

Yakumo frowned as he looked at the restaurants on both sides of the road, which were filled with large portions of meat and fish.

"There's a salad and fruit platter shop there."

Masako Mori pointed to the end of the food street, where a restaurant stood out from the rest of the street, its decor a vibrant light green.

The shop is called: Maggie's Fruit Salad.

Masako Mori nodded, took Yakumo's hand, and walked towards the restaurant, while Chiyuki Yuuki's face was as cold as ice as she warily watched the passersby around her.

Suddenly, a burly man reeking of alcohol appeared in front of the three of them, staggering down the street, and everyone along the way automatically made way for him.

The burly man staggered and crashed into Mori Masako.

But someone was faster than him. You Gu Qianxue arrived from behind at an even faster speed, a blue light shining into the eyes of everyone around her.

Before everyone could react, You Gu Qianxue had already placed the blade against the burly man's neck. The latter seemed to suddenly wake up... and immediately turned around and ran wildly towards the end of the street.

"Alright, sheathe your sword." Yakumo shook his head.

"He's just an ordinary drunkard; there's no need to kill him."

"As ordered."

You Gu Qianxue sheathed her sword and returned behind the two, transforming once again into a cold and ruthless bodyguard.

"Let's go, it was just a little incident."

The three continued forward, and the onlookers who had been watching moved aside out of fear until Yakumo entered the restaurant, at which point they turned their attention away.

Welcome!

The restaurant's interior is also decorated in a light green color, which makes people feel relaxed and as if they have stepped out of the hustle and bustle and into a quiet forest, making them feel comfortable.

Behind the bar stood a rather hot young woman with a full head of long blue hair. Although there was a smile in her eyes, a closer look revealed a cold indifference that kept people at a distance. Although her body looked languid, it was very tense inside, like a female leopard ready to hunt.

Unfortunately, she only has one leg; the other is a wooden prosthesis, which, while allowing her to move, is quite inconvenient.

"What would you like to order, sir? We serve light meals with vegetables; we do not offer any meat or alcoholic beverages."

The blue-haired young woman smiled and spoke to the three of them, appearing very enthusiastic.

After Yakumo sat down, he looked around and found the restaurant completely empty, with only the three of them as customers. Clearly, the restaurant was doing very poor business.

This was to be expected, since the mainstream of the world is high-calorie foods like barbecue, and light meals are obviously out of place.

Actually… this is the Revolutionary Army's most important stronghold in the Goa Kingdom. The woman guarding the stronghold was originally a subordinate of Dragon, codenamed Blue Leopard, whose real name is Roland Macchi…

Unfortunately, he lost his left leg in the battle with the World Government.

She is the owner of the Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Spotted Leopard. After losing her left leg, her combat power was inevitably greatly weakened.

He then stepped down from the front lines to guard the logistics base, continuing to strive for his ideals. This is also the reason why Yakumo specifically chose this restaurant.

"Three parts hope, three parts ideals, and four parts enthusiasm."

When Yakumo said those words, Machi's expression suddenly changed, but she managed to control it well.

The atmosphere in the air became tense the next second.

"Let's brew some clear sake and offer it as a tribute to this murky world!"

The blue-haired young woman answered, and at the same time quickly raised her head, her hands already gripping two slender silver muskets, the barrels of which were about thirty centimeters long, and she pulled the trigger repeatedly towards Yakumo's heart.

"Die, you lackey of the World Government!!"

The gunpowder ignited without making a sound, like two silver snakes flicking their tongues—dangerous and deadly.

But Yakumo did not dodge; instead, he called out softly.

"Don't kill her!"

The moment the gunpowder was ignited, You Gu Qianxue had already begun her move. The dark blue light of her blade illuminated the room like a clear spring, and the blue blade reflected her indifferent face.

The two lead bullets were directly annihilated by the force carried by the blade, not split in two but completely turned into powder.

After annihilating the lead bullet, the blade did not stop... but instead swiftly attacked the blue-haired young woman without any mercy.

The blade came to an abrupt halt the moment Yakumo spoke.

Two strands of blue hair fell to the ground, and the blade was less than a centimeter away from Machi's throat.

Maggie was incredibly surprised. Even when she was on the front lines of battle, she had never witnessed such a sharp blade, like the Grim Reaper wielding his sword, leaving no room for desolation and despair.

But the next second, she pointed another small silver pistol at his chest. Maggie knew that the CP organization had spared her life because of the information in her brain.

That was the Revolutionary Army's entire deployment in the East China Sea after its reorganization. Not a single bit of information was allowed to be leaked, and she didn't even have time to think about where things went wrong... which led to her exposure.

Her only thought at that moment was suicide!

The Silver Serpent Twin Pistols were for slaying enemies, while the light kiss was reserved for herself.
