Pirates: My crew is the heroine of the 3D zone

Even from that distance, where he couldn't see anyone clearly, Chen Yong'an felt a pressure directed at him.

The aura emanating from Shanks, one of the Four Emperors!

Not to be outdone, Chen Yong'an wrapped his arms around Uta's slender waist and kissed her deeply. At the same time, his eyes suddenly widened, and his kingly aura burst forth, colliding with the red-haired man's aura across the sea!

In the clash of their dominant colors, neither side was willing to admit defeat or be overwhelmed by the other.

Only by giving it our all!

In an instant, red lightning, symbolizing Conqueror's Haki, flashed continuously, causing the sky and earth to change color, a strong wind to rise, the sea to surge, waves to splash, and even a huge vortex to form because of the two people's Conqueror's Haki!

"That's outrageous!" Lara on the Lexington was blown back half a step by the strong wind. "It's even more terrifying than when we clashed with Big Mom's Conqueror's Haki on Whole Cake Island!"

“Red’s domineering aura is much stronger than that of the old lady,” 2B said, closing her eyes to feel the momentum emanating from the collision between the two. “But Yong’an is not weak either; he’s even stronger than before.”

"Are the two equally domineering?" Mai Shiranui asked.

“No, Yong’an is stronger,” Mona said with unprecedented certainty. “A true king is defined by ambition, strength, and the ability to lead humanity to a better future. In these respects, Yong’an is no less than anyone else!”

“That’s right,” Tifa agreed, clenching her fist. “In this idealistic world, if we can’t even compare to the Four Emperors who only know how to rule the world and don’t care about the lives of others, how can we bear the trust and expectations of everyone in the world and usher in a new era!”

"Go, Master!" Mary Rose shouted, "Put that redhead down!"

"come on!"

Seemingly encouraged by the crowd, Chen Yong'an's already terrifying Conqueror's Haki intensified, causing the heavy dark clouds to gradually retreat and dissipate before finally bursting apart under the pressure!

The wind subsided, the waves stopped, the clouds dispersed, and everything returned to its sunny state.

It's as if nothing happened. You, Lin Yongyong, are thinking of Lin Kong, or Lin Zaizai...?

"Are you alright?" Uta quickly helped Chen Yong'an, who was unsteady on his feet, with great concern.

"It's nothing," Chen Yong'an shook his head, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "It's just that I've been too exhausted. Let me catch my breath. Help me stand up straight. I can't lose in terms of momentum."

"it is good."

On the dragon-shaped prow of the Red Force, Shanks was pressed down to almost kneel on one knee, his forehead covered in sweat.

“What a disgrace,” Ben Beckman said sarcastically as he sat on the railing wiping his sidearm. “Losing to a brat in a contest of Conqueror’s Haki is truly unbelievable.”

“Hahaha, that aura, no wonder he could abduct our princess,” the ball-shaped Lucky Ru took a big bite of the roasted meat in his hand. “I advise you not to interfere in this matter. I think that kid and Uta are quite a good match.”

“Let’s go,” Shanks straightened up with a wry smile, “Let’s go and have a go at him.”

The Red Force docked at the port, and Chen Yong'an finally saw this person with his own eyes. He had a significant background, possessed the blood of a Celestial Dragon, had been an apprentice crew member of the Pirate King, and had even been a member of the Knights of God, but was rumored to be the weakest of the Four Emperors.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Chen Yong’an said, calmly extending his right hand as he shielded Uta, who was looking down and emotionally unstable, “Red-haired Shanks.”

"I've long admired your name, Chen Yong'an," Shanks said expressionlessly, extending his hand to shake hands with Chen Yong'an.

This time, Shanks didn't try to intimidate Chen Yong'an. He simply shook hands briefly, then released his grip. He turned his gaze to Uta, who was standing behind Chen Yong'an, and forced a smile, saying:

"It's been a long time since I've seen Uta. I've listened to your new song, and we all really like it. You've become an outstanding singer."

Suppressing her anger, Uta retorted, "Don't pretend to care about me! What I am like now has nothing to do with you!"

Without even looking at Shanks' reaction, Uta turned and left, returning to the Lexington.

Shanks wanted to say something upon seeing this, but in the end, it all turned into a helpless sigh as a father.

Chapter 647: The King of Adventure

Pirates, once they land, will throw a lively party, eating and drinking to relieve the loneliness of being at sea.

Even the Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors' crews, are no exception.

They occupied Gordon's castle as their temporary base, bringing the castle back to life.

Chen Yong'an was naturally invited to the banquet, and he was happy to attend.

As for the others, including Uta, they stayed behind on the Lexington to prepare for battle.

This was Chen Yong'an's second time attending a banquet hosted by one of the Four Emperors' crews. Unlike the banquet hosted by Big Mom, which was filled with pressure and the feeling that conflict could break out at any moment, the banquet hosted by the Red-Haired Pirates was completely stress-free.

After enjoying a few beers and some delicious barbecue together, some cadres came up and put their arms around Chen Yong'an's shoulders, chatting about Uta's childhood and praising the world-shaking things Chen Yong'an had done before.

Chen Yong'an didn't put on airs with them; he chatted with them and joined in the conversation.

In contrast to Chen Yong'an, Shanks, the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, walked to the side alone, sat on the window, and drank alone.

He glanced at Chen Yong'an every now and then.

Shanks' feelings were quite complicated at this moment. After all, when he met his daughter again after many years, the most important man in her life had become another man. No father could easily accept that.

“Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. There is no such thing as an insurmountable obstacle,” the first mate Beckman walked over. “No matter who the other person is, what matters most is that Uta likes them.”

“I can’t accept it,” Shanks said, taking a swig of his drink. “Did you see those girls on his ship? They’re even more unrestrained than the Celestial Dragons. How can I entrust Uta to someone like that?”

“As long as they get along well,” Beckman leaned against the wall, looking at the Lexington docked in the distance. “Look at the Uta Group band, they’re having a good time.”

"Hey, hey, hey," Shanks said, looking at Beckman with displeasure, "whose side are you on anyway?"

“I just don’t want you to get stuck on this. You can change Uta’s life, but you can’t change Uta’s heart.”

"Do you think I don't know?!"

Shanks threw down his wine bowl and grabbed Beckman's collar. "This is what I'm annoyed about! When I came here, I was thinking that if Uta was forced, at least I could... But now, I really..."

Shanks' voice grew weaker and weaker. Beckman sighed, patted Shanks on the shoulder, brushed away Shanks' hand that was gripping his collar, and returned to the banquet.

This is the result of Shanks's initial choice; he can only blame himself.

The father-daughter relationship they have now cannot be changed by force alone.

After drinking several rounds with the others, Chen Yong'an took two bottles of chilled rum and headed towards Shanks.

"Want to have a drink with me?"

Shanks caught the bottle Chen Yong'an threw at him steadily, bit off the cap with his teeth, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and said, "I'm in a hurry right now, so get to the point."

Chen Yong'an also tilted his head back and took a big gulp, saying, "Then I'll be frank. I want to form an alliance with you and change this world together."

"I'm sorry, I have absolutely no interest in your career."

Chen Yong'an didn't expect to convince Shanks with just a few words, nor did he ask him why he wasn't interested. He continued to say to himself, "In this world, some people choose to go to sea in pursuit of freedom, adventure, and exploration of this vast and magical world."

But some people choose to go to sea to compete for power, to commit rape and plunder, or to become more famous, more powerful, and more feared by others, in order to be on the wanted list.

And both of these are called pirates? Don't you think that's absurd?

“That’s just how the world works,” Shanks said matter-of-factly. “Society needs to follow rules to function, and a country needs residents to maintain itself. Going to sea for freedom and breaking the rules to become a wanted pirate is the price you pay.”

"Why follow the rules they set when you can do better?"

Chen Yong'an continued, "I can tell you something that most people outside don't know. In my Alabasta, if anyone wants to go to sea, they only need to register with the Adventurers' Guild, have a team and their own legal ship, and they can legally go to sea. If they encounter danger, they can also ask the navy for help. As long as they don't kill or do evil, they won't become wanted pirates."

I plan to promote this approach in various countries around the world, strictly distinguishing between free adventurers and evil pirates. Of course, you might say that this will lead to population loss or affect tax revenue, but that's another matter. There's always a solution to every problem, and it will be improved step by step.

Therefore, in order to better promote the Adventurers' Guild to the world, I need an Adventurer King who can carry the banner and has enough adventure experience, an Adventurer King who can be recorded in history, whose experiences and stories are written into books, made into movies, and whose magnificent statue is erected at the entrance to the Grand Line.

So what do you think of my suggestion? Shanks, the Red-Haired, who once traveled the world with Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, and has a wealth of adventure experience.

As Chen Yong'an was describing his ideals, the rest of the Red-Haired Pirates had already gathered around, listening quietly to his story. After Chen Yong'an finished speaking, they all stared intently at the silent Shanks.

“To be honest, no one can refuse this offer,” Beckman, the ship’s strategist, lit the cigarette in his mouth. “With this title, one can gain worldwide fame, and countless riches will come knocking on one’s door.”

"I am a pirate," Shanks said expressionlessly to Chen Yong'an. "Freedom is what pirates pursue, and these empty titles will only become stumbling blocks for me."

Whether you live a free life or not depends entirely on your choices, and has nothing to do with these empty titles.

Chen Yong'an stared at Shanks, their gazes meeting. "So what if you call yourself a pirate? I said I would end this Great Pirate Era. It won't be long before even your wanted poster is removed, and you'll be stripped of your 'Four Emperors' title." (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

Chen Yong'an's words carried no murderous intent. Everyone could tell that when he said he was withdrawing the wanted poster and taking away the title of one of the Four Emperors, he did not mean defeating or annihilating the Red-Haired Pirates.

Rather, it was on a political level that the Red-Haired Pirates were "legitimized".

"Hmph, see if you can do it," the redhead said, closing his eyes. "Beckman, show him out."

"I'm sorry, but my captain does not agree with your proposal. Please leave."

"Then think it over some more. I'll visit you again tomorrow. Goodbye."

Without lingering, Chen Yong'an jumped out of the window and returned to his Lexington.

Only after Chen Yong'an had walked away did the red-haired man sitting on the windowsill continue, "What do you think are the chances of him actually doing what he just said?"

“One hundred percent,” Beckman said with certainty. “His ideas are incredible. With his strength and influence, making those things happen is no problem at all. That’s what a world king should be like.”

"King of the World... This is the first time I've ever seen you give someone such high praise."

"After all, having strength but only knowing how to rule the world by force is nothing more than a brute who will perish with time, leave nothing behind, and be forgotten by the world. He is not a qualified king at all."

Chapter 648: Replacing Unhappiness with Happiness

Back on the Lexington, Chen Yong'an briefly explained Shanks' reaction to everyone before heading straight to the bathroom.

You have to understand that in this era, taking a bath on a ship was an extremely luxurious thing.

Not only for bathing, but even the drinking water was replaced with barrelled rum, which can be stored for a long time, because they were worried that it would spoil due to the long sailing time.

Even the Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, are no exception to this.

Therefore, the banquet just now, and the arm-in-arms with the Red-Haired Pirates' officers, inevitably left Chen Yong'an with an unpleasant aura.

This made Chen Yong'an, who was used to taking a shower every day to keep himself clean and fresh, feel uncomfortable.

This also indirectly highlights Mona's importance on the ship.

A navigator who can provide an unlimited supply of fresh water is simply fantastic.

As soon as I got into the bathroom and wet myself, I heard a commotion coming from the washroom outside.

It wasn't Mary Rose, the little maid who usually served Chen Yong'an during his baths, nor was it anyone else on the ship; it was Uta.

“Let me help you,” Uta said, pressing her soft body against Chen Yong’an’s back and taking over the task of washing his hair.

Chen Yong'an nodded, letting Uta, who had never washed anyone else's hair before, ruffle his hair and use the bubbles to create various styles.

"Don't you have anything you want to ask?"

Uta's silence prompted Chen Yong'an to ask a question.

“I don’t know what to ask,” Uta said dejectedly. “After all, it’s been so long since we last saw each other. Even if they were standing in front of me, I wouldn’t know what to say.”

"I see..."

Chen Yong'an didn't ask any more questions. What he and his daughter needed most was an apology.

Shanks' automatic apology.

As an outsider, he couldn't interfere too much in this matter.

All he could do was let Uta relax and use happiness to kick out his unhappiness.

Uta thought so too, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Mary Rose to give her the opportunity to serve Chen Yong'an during his bath.

So the two, who had the same idea, naturally embraced and kissed after a quick wash.

Uta took the initiative, and Chen Yong'an filled her legs, twisting her slender waist.

After these days of learning, Uta's skills, which already had a background in dance, have improved by leaps and bounds.

With each twist, lift, and smash, Uta manages to keep his upper body still while experiencing immense pleasure.

This time, Uta twisted her waist much more vigorously than before, in order to let pleasure take over her mind more quickly and forget the unpleasant things.

Chen Yong'an understood Uta's thoughts. While holding Uta's round and perky little ball and helping her run happily, he quietly looked for the poetic sunflower.

The shy touch of the sunflower made Uta tremble violently, instantly disrupting her rhythm.

"No!" Uta exclaimed hastily. "How can you do such a thing in a place like this?"

“Can’t I?” Chen Yong’an retorted. “Didn’t you see 2B and Tian using this place to serve me? And the pleasure they got was no less.”

“I’m different,” Uta shook his head violently. “2B and the angel’s drums are just too big, much bigger than me. How can I compare to them?”

"What about Mary? Mary's drum isn't as big as yours, is it? But she's played this game countless times!"

"How is this possible!" Uta exclaimed in disbelief. "Marie is so petite and adorable, how could she even be in a place like this..."

"Don't worry," Chen Yong'an gently kissed the corner of Uta's mouth, "My experience is far richer than you can imagine, trust me."

Uta found it difficult to refute Chen Yong'an's words, after all, Chen Yong'an was a professional in this area.

In this state of simmering tension, it was difficult to refuse Chen Yong'an's request. You, Lin Yong, are busy but don't have time...

And trying out different ways of playing seems like a good idea too?
