The Chapter get Retranslated

Ye Chen sized up Shanks. Among the Four Emperors who ruled the New World, only Shanks seemed ordinary. The other Four Emperors all had extremely massive physiques, at least three or four times that of a normal person.

Shanks wore somewhat worn-out clothes and had a well-proportioned figure. There was a claw-mark scar on his eyebrow, and he carried a straw hat on his back.

If someone like Shanks were thrown outside, those who didn't know him might mistake him for a poor and down-on-his-luck young man.

As Ye Chen observed Shanks, Shanks was also observing Ye Chen.

"Oh, by the way, Ye Chen, where are your crew members? I've been wanting to meet them for a long time," Shanks said with a smile.

"They went out to take care of some things. Ulquiorra and Esdeath will be here soon," Ye Chen replied.

Shanks seemed thoughtful upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, Silvers Rayleigh glanced at Ye Chen. He was the only one who knew what Ye Chen's "taking care of things" actually meant.

To put it bluntly, it was to kill people.

On their way back, they encountered many attacks, from both pirates and bounty hunters. These people rushed towards Ye Chen like locusts, as if they would miss out if they were a moment too slow. However, their arrival only led to their deaths.

Though ants were easy to kill, it was still troublesome to deal with them.

Left with no choice, Ye Chen had sent Ulquiorra and Esdeath to kill all those who intended to treat them as prey.

And now, the two of them were probably still in the midst of their extermination mission.

"Let's not talk about that, let's drink! Since I've met you and Uncle Rayleigh, we must have a drink." Shanks smiled, then turned to Aunt Shakky and said, "Aunt Shakky, bring the wine. My treat today."

Aunt Shakky scanned the people in the bar, shook her head, and went to get the wine.

She knew that this time, Shanks and his crew would probably get utterly drunk again. This was no longer a rare occurrence.

At this moment, Silvers Rayleigh looked at Shanks and said, "Oh, right, Shanks, where have you been this time? You just got the Four Emperors title, shouldn't you stay put instead of running around everywhere?"

"I've been in the New World for too long and wanted to travel around, so I came out," Shanks smiled. "And I talked to Whitebeard and asked him to look after my territory."

"Whitebeard, huh! If it's him, I'm relieved." Silvers Rayleigh's eyes showed nostalgia upon hearing this, remembering how they and Whitebeard were once rivals.

"By the way, Ye Chen, I'm curious about how you attacked the Holy Land Mariejois. I'm quite curious about this, if you don't mind sharing," Shanks turned to Ye Chen and asked.

At these words, everyone in the Red Hair Pirates, including Silvers Rayleigh, looked at Ye Chen with great interest. Attacking the Holy Land Mariejois — no one had tried that in hundreds of years. Ye Chen and his group were the first.

And most importantly, Ye Chen and his group were able to retreat safely.

"Actually, it's nothing much," Ye Chen smiled. "The World Nobles' Edwin Family kidnapped my people."

"So you attacked them because of that?" Shanks looked at Ye Chen with a shocked expression.

Ye Chen looked at Shanks very seriously: "They are very important people to me. Whoever dares to harm them, I will make sure they pay for it."

"It's like if the World Nobles captured your crew, I think you'd do the same, wouldn't you?" Ye Chen then said.

Shanks fell silent upon hearing this. After a while, he looked up and scanned his crew, then softly said, "You are right."

Upon hearing Shanks' words, his crew members felt a warmth in their hearts. It was Shanks' charisma that made them willing to follow him.

"It seems we're the same kind of people," Shanks chuckled.

Seeing Shanks' happy expression, Ye Chen considered whether to tell the truth.

Those words just now were half-truths.

He attacked the Holy Land Mariejois just to let them experience being trampled upon, so they wouldn't think no one could control them.

However, if the World Government really dared to lay a hand on his people, he would risk his life to erase the World Government.

Anyway, he still had over sixty Devil Fruits, which he could exchange for powerful beings.

At this time, Aunt Shakky had already brought the wine. Seeing this, everyone took a drink.

"By the way, Ye Chen, what you told me earlier, you can ask Shanks. This kid should know some information," Silvers Rayleigh said softly, pointing at Shanks.

"Uh, you have something to ask me? What is it, Ye Chen?"

Shanks wiped the wine from his mouth and smiled at Ye Chen.

"I recently heard that someone in the New World is planning to kill me. I just want to know who it is, as I'm not familiar with the New World," Ye Chen said, spreading his hands.

He had only been in this world for a little over a month and didn't know much about many things.

And the information from Amazon Lily was limited to the Grand Line; they were completely unaware of matters in the New World.

"I'm not too clear about that either. I've been wandering around the Four Seas recently and don't know much about the New World's happenings. How about this: after I go back and investigate thoroughly, I'll tell you?" Shanks suggested.

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head: "That's too much trouble. Do you have any intelligence channels? I can go there and see if they have anything."

"Yes, there is, and it's right here in Sabaody Archipelago. You can go ask them, but the price might be quite high."

"Money is not an issue, I just need information."

"There are many intelligence brokers here, and Doflamingo's information is the most famous and accurate. You can go ask him," Shanks said.

Ye Chen was somewhat taken aback. Doflamingo was a man who played both sides, and he had actually forgotten about him. If Shanks hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten.

Moreover, Doflamingo still owed him Devil Fruits, so it was a good opportunity to go collect that debt.

"I'll go ask him later. Thank you, Shanks," Ye Chen said with a smile.

"It's nothing, just a small matter," Shanks waved his hand dismissively.

At this moment, the bar door suddenly swung open.

Two people walked in through the entrance, a man and a woman.

The man had a pale, expressionless face, and the woman had long, straight blue hair and wore an Imperial Army uniform.

As soon as they entered the bar, an astonishing scent of blood erupted, filling the establishment.

"Is it resolved?" Ye Chen asked the two of them.

"There were quite a lot of them, so it took some time," Ulquiorra said emotionlessly.

Ye Chen nodded upon hearing this, then turned to Shanks and said, "This is Ulquiorra, and the one next to him is Esdeath."
