Konoha's task master

Pangu City, conference room.

Shanks' relaxed and lazy expression disappeared, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was transformed into a deep fear. He couldn't figure out why his overlord's haki was suppressed, but he could also tell that Yakumo was stronger than him.

Could it be that the enemy's domineering appearance is stronger than his own?

Impossible, that energy can never be overlord-colored domineering energy. I am the strongest possessor of overlord-colored domineering energy.

Shanks quickly began to stabilize his wavering will.

Only by believing in your own strength can you be invincible with your domineering power.

"What kind of deal do you want to make?"

Seeing that Shanks hadn't spoken for a long time, Long couldn't help but ask.

"Well..."

Originally, Shanks planned to cooperate with the Revolutionary Army, and the two would work together to strangle the remaining imperial forces, in order to ensure the stability of the sea area ruled by the Red Hair Pirates.

But when his strongest method was directly suppressed, he immediately knew that his conditions needed to be changed.

The current situation has changed to the need to ensure the integrity of the Red Hair Pirates.

"I plan to help the Revolutionary Army deal with the remaining imperial forces and take the initiative to send them out of the protected sea area, but Long, you must ensure that the Revolutionary Army will not liquidate the Red Hair Pirates in the future."

Shanks thought for a while in his mind, weighed the top combat power currently possessed by the Revolutionary Army, and finally came up with a new transaction condition.

"Oh, are you willing to voluntarily hand over the waters you control?"

Long took a sip of black tea and silently added some black tea to Yakumo. He smacked his tongue in surprise and narrowed his eyes slightly as if he was savoring the sweet fragrance of tea on his tongue.

At this time, he was not worried about the failure of the negotiation at all. After all, Yakumo was right next to him, and the red-haired man basically couldn't stop his attack.

"I have no interest in power rule. Since the revolutionary army can bring better living conditions to those residents, I am naturally willing to let go."

Shanks took the wine bottle from his waist and took a sip, and replied very sincerely. The air was filled with the faint aroma of wine.

"Just one more thing and I'm willing to cooperate."

In fact, before Shanks came, Long had already designed two plans against Shanks. If it was a battle, he would definitely be honest. Of course, if it was a cooperation, he would also have a plan for cooperation.

"Please say..."

Shanks immediately replied that he didn't care about many things in this world. Even if the dragon wanted the treasures harvested by the red-haired pirates over the years, he would agree without hesitation.

"After clearing away other imperial-level forces, the Red-haired Pirates need to disband on the spot and are not allowed to set sail again."

Long sat up straight and looked directly at Shanks' face and said. Yakumo next to him was still lazily holding a tea cup, not affected by the atmosphere at all.

"This is impossible!"

Anger appeared in Shanks's eyes and he immediately refused. The atmosphere between the two became tense, as if a war might start at any time.

"All the members on the ship are like my family. Nothing in this world can separate us except death."

"This is the bottom line." Long said calmly.

The two of them refused to give an inch, but they did not break into a fight of their own courage. They looked at each other fiercely, as if they wanted to eat each other alive.

"This is also my bottom line." Shanks replied.

Yakumo looked at the two people fighting each other, but what came to mind was Luffy's figure. He didn't know how far he had grown as the protagonist of this world.

"Disbanding and retiring does not mean that we will never interact with each other until death. It just means taking off the pirate flag and active in the sea as an explorer from now on. In that case, you will still be a family, but without a flag."

Seeing that the two had been in a stalemate for a long time, Yakumo took the initiative to speak. This was considered a concession on behalf of the revolutionary army.

"Then I won't agree to it either."

Shanks' expression turned cold, and he unconsciously glanced at the door not far away. Since the negotiation was no longer an option, he should get out as soon as possible.

"You should know that Yakumo defeated the strongest of the Celestial Dragons, right?"

"Then do you know what moves he used when he killed Wulaoxing?"

Dragon noticed Shanks' reaction and spoke again.

"How many moves?" Shanks asked curiously.

"one move."

Long still looked like an old god, and continued.

"You can talk to us because you came to us, but that doesn't mean you can decide the dominant position in the negotiation. You are as close as family, and you don't want your family to sacrifice for everything."

"You should know that pirates are the cause of troubled times. For the new rules that are about to be born, they must not exist."

This is a threat, but Shanks knows that he will not threaten with lies, which means that Yakumo does have the terrifying combat power to kill an emperor-level powerhouse in an instant.

But how could he be willing to give up the flag he had guarded for twenty years?

The atmosphere in the conference room became so quiet that you could almost hear a needle drop. After a brief hesitation, Long had already made his choice.

If Shanks refuses, then Mary Joa will have to be his burial place. Although the two were once considered friends, if he blocks the path of the revolutionary army, Long will definitely take action.

On this road of longing for a bright future, Long has lost many important things, even his relatives and close friends... He has no way out.

After about three minutes, Shanks made his decision.

"I can promise you, but only after two years."

His clarity and firmness seemed to exude brilliance. When the king truly made a judgment, his will would not change.

"good."

Long immediately agreed. After all, Yakumo would leave in a few days and he was about to lose his strongest trump card. Cooperation would actually be of great benefit to the revolutionary army, but on the surface he could not show weakness.

Only by being tough can people avoid suspicion.

"Then it's settled."

Shanks stood up and planned to leave directly. Although cooperation between the two parties was finally established, the process was not very pleasant.

"I'll give it to you."

Long stood up and made a gesture of invitation with his right arm.

"I'll send it off, it's just on my way."

Yakumo stood up and said, slowly grabbing Shanks' right shoulder with his right hand. His movement was very sudden.

But Shanks reacted almost instantly, and his legs suddenly exerted force to pull away from him and Yakumo, but... his body did not move at all, and was fixed in place like a puppet.

Yakumo's soul energy combined with the body's inherent position suppressed all Shanks' resistance, and neither Haki nor Taijutsu could motivate him.

"So fragile."

Yakumo sighed softly. At this moment, he suddenly understood why most powerful people didn't care about ordinary people's lives, because they were too insignificant.

Finally, the palm fell on his shoulder, and the two people disappeared from the conference room with swaying light and shadow. Long looked at the place where the two disappeared and remained silent for a long time.

Although he knew that Yakumo's move was to intimidate Shanks, and that what he heard was false, but what he saw must be true. Having had such an experience, Shanks naturally fully believed that Yakumo was stronger than the Emperor.

But Shanks wasn't the only one who was shocked.

Yakumo can take away Shanks in an instant, so he can also take away Ryu.

In front of the wooden house on the desert island, Yakumo appeared alone.

When Yakumo returned, he sent Shanks back to the pirate ship, and they had a brief conversation. He finally figured out Shanks' future plans, and he also had ambitions for the legendary great secret treasure.

Shanks' character is very similar to that of Luffy, a pure explorer, so he doesn't care about power, money and other external things.

Unfortunately, Yakumo knew that without his intervention, the final secret treasure would definitely belong to Luffy, and Shanks had basically no chance of success.

Because Luffy is the protagonist of this world.

A few days later, the revolutionary army, with the cooperation of the red-haired pirates, tore apart the coalition of two imperial forces. Long personally rushed to the battlefield and united with many strong men to strangle the two forces.

The battle lasted for three days and three nights. In the end, the Whitebeard Pirates and the All Nations Pirates were defeated head-on. Especially... the new Yonkou Katakuri was successfully captured, and the All Nations Pirates were disbanded on the spot.

The Whitebeard Pirates chose to retire and promised not to go to sea again.

The Revolutionary Army's march into the New World is no longer blocked. In the next period of time, all pirates in the entire New World will become the targets of the Revolutionary Army's elimination.

Huge chaos enveloped the entire sea. After being driven into despair, many pirates began to carry out crazy suicidal revenge. The losses of the revolutionary army became serious.

Yakumo sent five shadow clones to cooperate with the suppression, and most of the pirates in the New World were suppressed in a short period of time. Only a few big pirates who were heading to the Final Island were not affected.

During the series of battles, Yakumo felt a little regretful.

If he submits the task of Proof of Overlord now, then the final progress will definitely be pushed to 700%. At the beginning, he swore that he would never have another chance to obtain the task progress.

It's a pity... there is no regret medicine in the world. What he killed was not the pirate, but the past that was destined to be irreversible.

Yakumo's body received metals provided by the Revolutionary Army, some of which can be used as the main materials for forging the Supreme Knife. This is already the top weapon-making material in the pirate world...

The sun is shining brightly and the breeze is pleasant.

On the high mountains of the desert island, he decided to recast the demon.

Masako Mori and Qianxue Qianxue stood not far away and watched as the props shattered in their hands, when the light of the stars gathered into the shape of the forging furnace, and when the surrounding natural forces gathered and ignited into a cyan flame.

Very high in the sky, the sun and moon appeared at the same time.

This is an extremely rare spectacle. The sun and the moon are facing each other, and both are releasing greater light. Of course, the energy of the props will not directly summon the sun and the moon.

It just creates a link, borrowing the brilliance of the sun and moon in a similar way to a space gate.

The surrounding sky became pitch black, and the sun and moonlight fell quickly from the sky like two rivers of light, illuminating the forge that gathered the power of stars.

A clear understanding arose in Yakumo's heart, and he knew that it was time to put in the main weapon. The Fumo in his hand trembled with excitement, as if the weapon himself knew that he was about to undergo an earth-shaking transformation.

The three-color flames enveloped the weapon, and the terrifying high temperature made even Yakumo feel fear. The sword of Fumo only lasted less than five seconds before it melted into a flowing golden liquid.

Whoop, whoop, whoop.

The furnace seemed to be breathing, absorbing natural energy. The temperature inside the furnace became more and more terrifying, and the impurities in the flowing liquid were burned directly into nothingness.

Before adding auxiliary materials, this forging furnace gathered by the power of the stars will remove the impurities that originally existed inside the blade, making it purer and cleaner.

The star forging furnace is about two meters long. There are three vents on it arranged in a triangle. A lot of energy enters from these three positions and is converted into three-color flames inside the furnace.

After a few minutes, all the impurities were removed, and auxiliary materials should be added. An inlet appeared on the surface of the furnace, and the volume expanded to about three meters. Only a volleyball-sized metal liquid remained in the furnace.

Yakumo threw the precious materials collected during this period, as well as the many weapons captured, into the furnace, including Yoon Mu's golden spear, the first generation of Kitetsu and several weapons that were at the level of great swords.

With a bang, the three-color flames swallowed up many materials, the temperature inside became even more terrifying, and the two rivers of light falling from the sky became even larger.

Three-color flames rolled, and a large amount of blood-colored energy emerged from the inside of the first-generation Ghost. It was cold and evil. It was the resentment it had accumulated over the years of killing creatures. A certain metal that made up this weapon could absorb and accommodate those resentments.

This is the so-called demon sword, the ominous blade.

Under the three-color flames, these bloody energies only lasted for less than five seconds before being directly burned into nothingness. Other weapons could be fused at an extremely fast speed.

In the fire room, a huge golden sphere formed.

This was composed of melted weapons, and then the three-color flame began to remove the impurities inside the golden liquid. At the same time, it belonged to the sun and moon, and the energy of the stars was slowly being injected into it.

The process of removing impurities lasted eight hours. Although the metal balls in the furnace had shrunk several times, the process of removing impurities still continued.

Masako Mori and Chiyuki Shougu had already gone to prepare dinner, but Yakumo stood in front of the shining silver forging furnace and did not dare to be distracted. Fumo accompanied him from weak to strong.

The relationship between the two can be said to be close comrades-in-arms and partners.

Yakumo didn't want any accidents to happen during the forging process, and he was going to make a somewhat crazy attempt.

Time passed, three days passed, and Yakumo did not move an inch.

The silver furnace continued to work. Within three days, Yakumo added two more auxiliary materials, one was precious metals sent by the revolutionary army, and the other was his own soul energy.

Since soul energy can be converted into weapons, and can even be fixed in a certain form forever, it means that soul energy can also be used as a material for casting weapons.

Anyway, the stove didn't produce any rejection reaction after he added it.

This also means that Yakumo's guess can be the truth. Finally, seven days have passed, and Yakumo still stands in that position without moving. In seven days, he only temporarily moved his eyes away from eating twice.

The surrounding sky for thousands of miles maintained a strange state of darkness for seven days. Some speculated that a treasure was born here. Even if the revolutionary army tried to stop it, it could not completely stop human greed.

In the past few days, many people sneaked into the island, but unfortunately they were all eliminated by Masako Mori and imprisoned in the dungeon.

Of course, some parts were killed and sank into the sea.

Finally, on the twentieth day.

The silver stove made a difference...
