The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

A rookie pirate crew that has been at sea for less than a year... no~

After this battle, perhaps the Straw Hat Pirates are no longer suitable for this title.

But...

A truly powerful pirate crew venturing into the New World!!

Their achievements have already surpassed their seniority, firmly placing them among the most famous and powerful pirate crews in the New World!

"It's truly unbelievable..."

An old pirate, who had experienced the rise of many heroes on the high seas, spoke there once again, his voice trembling.

"They actually managed to suppress the Four Emperors into this state..."

They understand best what the title of "Four Emperors" truly means on the high seas of the New World.

The pinnacle of terror, invincibility, monsters, and pirates.

But even such a person was almost killed by a group of young pirates.

They suddenly realized that time was passing by far too quickly.

Unbeknownst to them, they had become remnants of the old era, and with a new generation on the horizon, there was no longer a vessel to carry and accommodate them.

After the initial shock, a profound sense of desolation and regret welled up within me.

As they were filled with emotion, this news also spread to every corner of the ocean and into the hands of every strong person.

513 Shanks' reaction! The Fifth Emperor!! [Two Emperors on one ship]!!

On an island in the New World that is in autumn.

The poignant maple leaves unfold amidst the fiery red forest.

Inside the orchard, the ripe, abundant fruit constantly exudes a sweet aroma.

And under the largest tree.

"The fall of the Four Emperors? The ascension of a new Emperor? What kind of story is this?"

Shanks, with his striking red hair, was flipping through the newspaper, looking at the headlines and comments Morgans had given, and couldn't help but laugh and curse:

"What so-called new emperor? That's still a bit too far off for Luffy and his crew, isn't it?"

Shanks looked at the newspaper articles, those that praised Luffy, Link, and their Straw Hat Pirates to the skies, making them seem like the best in the world.

I couldn't help but touch the goosebumps on my body.

Well, even he himself felt his skin was starting to itch from looking at it so much.

"That's not how you say it."

Wearing a melon-shaped hat, the tall and imposing Raki Ru, with a large piece of meat in his mouth and a ripe fruit in his hand, approached with great interest.

"After all, Luffy's crew really overwhelmed Charlotte Linlin and completely gained the upper hand."

The four emperors each have their own intelligence channels, and they naturally received accurate information from Totto Land.

That's why they were so amazed.

Because what actually happened was even more extreme than what was reported in the media.

After all, since the report is intended for the world to see, the feelings of the Charlotte family must be considered, and some restraint must be exercised.

So Morgans was relatively restrained.

Indeed, reality is often more unbelievable than what is reported.

Laki Ru was also there, remarking with emotion.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Luffy's crew were stronger than us someday."

"So by then, the boss might be the next Charlotte Linlin?!"

Beside him, Yasopp stood with his arms crossed, laughing and joking.

"That's right!"

"Boss, you're almost out of touch with the times, aren't you?!"

"The new recruits these days are all incredibly strong, even Little Luffy is almost catching up to us!!"

"Who knows, maybe one day the boss might actually be dethroned by a newcomer!!"

A group of Red-Haired Pirates crew members were there, joking and teasing their captain.

This is a staple of their ship's entertainment.

"Perhaps that day will really come."

Red-Haired Shanks was a man of the joke, chuckling as he said, "But if I fall, you guys won't be having a good time either!!"

He made a face at his friends.

"Haha, then you don't need to worry about us!!"

"Exactly, take care of yourself first!!"

"When that time comes, we can always go and seek refuge with Luffy. He'll definitely accept us!!"

"That's right!! Especially Yasopp, his son is on Luffy's ship, it would be really interesting to go there."

"An old man going to live with his own son? Hahaha, that's just too lame!!! Hahaha!!"

"Hey, you bunch of bastards, what are you yelling about?! When did you say I was going to go live with my son?! Explain yourself clearly!!"

Yasopp immediately got into a fight with the crew, making a huge fuss.

Shanks grinned at the sight, then continued to focus his attention on the newspaper.

"So, Sanji, the chef on Luffy's ship, is a member of the Vinsmoke family?!"

Ben Beckman also read the newspaper carefully and thoroughly.

The causes and consequences of the incident, as well as why the Straw Hat Pirates ventured into the Whole Cake Island waters, were clearly explained.

"No wonder the wanted posters for Black Leg Sanji used to be hand-drawn and said he was either dead or alive. But after his real photo was restored, it immediately became 'capture alive only'."

Beckman's eyes gradually revealed a look of understanding.

So, what's the final conclusion?

Shanks directly asked his most capable lieutenant, who was always there for him, so he didn't have to think at all.

"After this incident, Germa will be severely weakened, and due to its dirty dealings with the Charlotte family, it will most likely be removed from its position as a member state of the World Government."

"The Charlotte family, needless to say, has had its reputation completely ruined, and has even become a stepping stone for Luffy and his crew."

"In the short term, Charlotte Linlin's reputation will plummet and she will become a laughing stock."

"In the long run, this is actually something the World Government would quite like to see. After all, with the Four Emperors weakened, more pirates will inevitably flock to challenge her."

"This would intensify the conflict between pirates, which would be more advantageous to their situation..."

"However~~~"

A rare hint of doubt appeared on Beckman's usually serious, scarred face:

"The report here says that the Straw Hat Pirates' attack on Whole Cake Island was orchestrated by the World Government..."

"It's not that I look down on those guys, but apart from Sengoku and Tsuru, do any of the people in the World Government really have the ability to devise and execute such a plan?"

"I don't recall such a person ever existing..."

Beckman also looked completely puzzled.

Yes, in the newspapers, Morgans also followed Link's orders, temporarily pointing the finger at the World Government as the scapegoat for the attack on Whole Cake Island.

·· ·····Requesting flowers· ······

Of course, it wasn't completely locked in place, otherwise it would have been easy to create a flaw.

Like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, the reports, bit by bit, gradually lead readers to accept the fact, thus perfectly sealing the blame for the world government's actions.

Morgans is an expert in the tactics of public opinion and the news industry, and naturally knows how to do it.

"Who knows what kind of formidable figure might emerge from some hidden corner of this vast ocean?"

Shanks also stretched there.

"After all, we never imagined that Luffy would cause such a huge commotion, getting to where he is today in just a few short years~~~"

"On this vast ocean, I wouldn't be surprised by anything that happens..."

He glanced at the newspaper reports about the so-called "new emperor".

"Even if Luffy and his first mate are both given the title of 'Emperor of the Sea,' I wouldn't be surprised at all!!"

On the newspaper's "New Emperor" page, there was a huge headline!

"【Two Emperors on One Ship】!!!"

On one ship, two sea emperors!!!

Such high praise is simply incredible!

Morgans, however, bestowed the title of "Emperor" upon both Luffy and Link!

In this battle, Link led his team and, although he didn't show it, easily defeated the Charlotte family, which convinced Morgans that Link possessed the strength of a king.

That's why he was given the title of Emperor of the Sea.

For Luffy, he is Link's captain and the leader of the entire Straw Hat Pirates.

Since he was the first mate, he was given the title of "Emperor of the Sea".

Naturally, Luffy, as the captain, also holds the title of the new emperor.

The two have different titles of emperor. Link's title is based on strength, while Luffy's title is based on status, which is why the "two emperors on one ship" was born.

Furthermore, thanks to Link's well-intentioned reminder, Morgans's choice of the title of Emperor for Luffy was quite simple and easy to understand.

"The Fifth Emperor!!"

Yes, those reports and titles that once shocked the world in the original version, now...

It also reappeared in this world, under different circumstances and conditions, in another way.

[I was busy with meetings all day today, and tomorrow is the college entrance exam and our monthly exam. I didn't get home until after 8 pm again. My writing today was indeed a bit poor, I'm really sorry. I need to get back into the flow. That's all for today's three updates. Tomorrow is also a full day of exams, I'll update again when I get home tonight. The Wano Country arc will start soon! I apologize again to everyone!!]

514 Will you return the straw hat on your head to me? Only the dead Four Emperors are the good Four Emperors!

"The Fifth Emperor~~~"

Redhead drew out the title, his smile mingling with a hint of amazement, seemingly lost in thought.

However, most of the meaning is still in the form of teasing.

The so-called title of emperor is of no concern to Shanks whatsoever.

After all, he once held the title of "Pirate King's Crew Member".

Don't you see, Buggy has been living off the seas for so long with this title, and he even earned the title of Shichibukai?

Shanks, who was already used to it, had absolutely no interest in such titles.

All he cared about was Luffy's growth and improvement in strength, which made him very gratified.

"It seems that when Luffy ate that Devil Fruit, it wasn't just a coincidence, but more likely that the Devil Fruit chose you..."

Shanks recalled the so-called "Rubber Fruit" he had stolen years ago, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

When he stole this Devil Fruit, he didn't know its true abilities or name, and he was somewhat suspicious of its name, "907" [Rubber Fruit].

However, because he felt that this Devil Fruit was very important, he deliberately snatched it from CP9, who was known as the most talentless person in history.

Then, by some twist of fate, he was eaten by Luffy.

But now, Shanks had a vague feeling that things weren't as simple as he thought.

"Never mind, these questions will be answered once Luffy comes to me."

Shanks shook his head, putting those doubts out of his mind.
