Chapter 207 Simple Chat (Subscription Request)

Conqueror's Haki is a qualification that only kings have.

Its aura is so strong that it can cause people to faint, be intimidated, and other mental states just like actual damage. Even people with fragile minds may be frightened to death when facing the impact of Conqueror's Haki.

This mysterious aura is a top-level ability that can only be understood and cannot be trained through ordinary methods such as words and books.

There are only a few strong people with Conqueror's Haki.

Among these people who are unlikely to be found, Red-haired Shanks is one of them.

Moreover, he has comprehended Conqueror's Haki for many years and is a top-level strong man who can freely display it.

Although Shanks did not fully release his aura in order to save their lives and get more information about this world from them, he was still a little surprised when he saw the old cat rushing again after just a slight pause.

"An animal-type devil fruit, and a mythical beast, plus the iron block from the Six Styles."

Raising a palm to block in front of him, Shanks' face was full of doubts, "Are you from the navy?"

But the cat-man opposite him did not answer his question, as if he did not hear it.

Amid the roar,

An extremely strong impact force pierced into his palm from the front and passed to his arm, and then to every part of his body,

Shanks' body was pushed back several steps by this huge force,

But he only took several steps back and steadily blocked the giant cat-man in front of him.

Then,

The building under their feet could not withstand the noise they made after only two collisions, and collapsed directly.

Boom boom boom——

Pieces of rubble fell from a high place and hit the ground, and the small stones splashed scratched many passers-by.

"Run!"

In the sluggish crowd, someone shouted.

Then, cries for help, curses, and shouts poured out from the chaotic crowd. The dense crowd that had not yet reacted began to evacuate to the end of the street or the intersection like an ant colony.

Although they didn't know what happened, their instincts of survival and fear of the strong made them evacuate.

"What a big noise..."

Shanks' helpless voice sounded.

At the moment the ground collapsed, he had already jumped flexibly and stood on a relatively stable foothold.

On the other side, the huge body of the old cat fell directly to the ground with a dull sound.

Even the ground made a wailing tremor because of his fall.

The broken roof had no place to support his weight.

One punch was useless. The old cat raised his head angrily and looked at the red-haired warrior in the distance, intending to punch again.

"Kitten, you ate the devil fruit, right."

But suddenly, the old cat, who was immersed in a strong fighting spirit, heard a familiar word.

Devil fruit?

The battle had just begun, and the old cat, who had not been too deeply influenced by the god of battle, had a glimmer of clarity in his eyes, and stopped raising his fist, "What you just said... was the devil fruit, right?"

He repeated it again.

"Well... Actually, we can sit down and have a good talk."

Seeing the old cat stop moving, Shanks fell from the roof, but always kept a certain distance to avoid getting too close and making the other party too emotional. "You know the devil fruit, so you should be from our world, or have been in contact with people from our world, right?"

"You must know who I am and where I come from. I need to exchange some information with you, under the condition that both of us can accept it."

The smile on his face was as kind as always, even though they had some small-scale friction just now.

"You..."

The old cat hesitated a little, and his huge body seemed a little at a loss in front of this "little" person.

He didn't know what to say.

In this mission, the work of negotiating with people from other worlds was not his responsibility.

He was just a fighter, a fighter with some level of physical skills.

As for other aspects, including the process of deciding the task, it was not for him to judge.

If Teacher Xingcai could wake up, she could lead the discussion.

"Can you wake up my companions? If... you are willing to sit down and have a good talk."

What he thought in his heart, the old cat expressed it truthfully.

Anyway, judging from the current situation, he should not be able to beat him.

Although he can get rid of negative emotions that are not conducive to fighting in this huge orc state after transformation, it does not mean that he is fearless, does not think, and has no brain.

From the simple two punches, the red-haired warrior's combat power is obviously much stronger than his. Even if he enters a deeper combat state and fights unconsciously under the influence of the fighting god, he probably has no chance.

"Is this what you asked as a negotiating party?"

Shanks smiled heartily, "Okay, I accept your request, so... now let's change the environment for communication?"

As he said that, he opened his arms and motioned Old Cat to look at the chaotic scene and crowd around him, "I don't think this is suitable as a place for serious information exchange. We need to change to a suitable place."

But Old Cat shook his head and was unwilling to go somewhere else with him, "Let's wait until my companions wake up."

Seeing that the big guy showed his distrust of him so bluntly, Shanks spread his hands helplessly, but did not force it.

Ignoring the horrified eyes of others, the two slowly came to the tea stall just now, waiting for Hinata Xingcai and others to wake up.

But after all, this Saki City is the most important city in the Land of Fire besides Kyoto City,

and it is only one street away from the Saki family's mansion, so the chaotic movement here still attracted the attention of the Saki family.

Upon hearing that the distinguished guest was in trouble,

Nozomi Sasaki, the current head of the Sasaki family, directly sent a large number of retainers to rush over.

The retainers, dressed in uniform samurai uniforms, and even some ninjas, surrounded the entire street at Nozomi Sasaki's command.

Even Nozomi Sasaki's son, the next head of the Sasaki family, Sasaki Yu, was present in person.

"Mr. Shanks, what are you doing..."

Saki Yu looked at the huge old cat with some doubts, and then looked at the people lying on the tea table.

Then, his eyes condensed,

From the faces slightly exposed by the black clothes and hats, he couldn't tell who these people were,

But from the ninja bags on their waists, it can be seen that these people are undoubtedly ninjas.

"Mr. Shanks, can I search their belongings to confirm whether they are spies sent by other countries."

Saki Yu asked.

Although he could have ignored Shanks and sent people to search these ninjas of unknown origin, he still asked Shanks for his opinion out of courtesy, after all, he was the one who caught them.

For this distinguished guest, the Saki family showed absolute respect.

And next to him, the old cat's body tensed up.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Saki Yu."

Sensing the old cat's abnormality, Shanks raised his hand to signal him to rest assured, and turned to look at Saki Yu, "I don't want to ruin the opportunity to communicate with them, so can you please leave first?"

After a pause, he added: "I promise to restrain these people. No matter where they come from, I will not let them destroy the peace of this country."

Saki Yu did not speak, but turned his head and stared at the people under the black robe.

After a long time, he sighed helplessly, "Of course, you are our honored guest. As long as you can fulfill your promise, our Saki family and the entire Fire Country will give you corresponding trust in return."

Shanks nodded politely and thanked him, "Thank you."

Saki Xiong also nodded kindly, and then looked at the others, "Collect the team, and by the way, temporarily notify the people that this street is temporarily under maintenance and is closed to traffic."

As he said, he silently said goodbye to Shanks and gave him the space of the entire street.

Soon, only Lao Mao and Shanks were left on this street, as well as a few people lying on the tea stall.

"...They are very polite to you."

Lao Mao was a little surprised, "The power of the Saki family in the Fire Country is not simple, and you can make them so obedient."

He saw the conversation between Shanks and the person in charge of the Saki family just now.

The performance of the Saki family disappointed him. He didn't expect how powerful the ordinary people who needed to be vigilant in the words of Teacher Xingcai could be. He didn't expect it to be like this.

"Be obedient?"

Shanks shook his head, "They just need my help."

As he said that, he looked at the team leaving, frowning slightly, "It's really tiring to talk to these people..."

On the other side,

Zako, who was directing the team to retreat from East Street, stopped and his face darkened, "Find a way to find out the origins of these people, where they came from, when they entered the city, and what identities they disguised as!"

"Yes!"

The man who looked like an adjutant beside him nodded respectfully and led the order to leave.

"Alas..."

Zako looked back at East Street behind him,

At the intersection, there were a lot of residents who lived there but were temporarily driven out, "No matter where the ninjas are, I just hope they are not from Konoha..."

"We are ninjas from the Hyuga clan."

A tea table,

Two people sat on each side, one man and one woman.

There were many people standing behind the woman, all looking at the man opposite vigilantly.

In the middle of the table, the old cat had turned back into a cat, lying quietly and listening to their conversation.

It was not until the evening that Hinata Xingcai and the others woke up from their coma.

Fortunately, the first person to wake up was the captain, Hinata Hoshicai, so he didn't have to try to comfort his teammates and explain that he had not betrayed the team. Instead, he started a peaceful conversation directly.

"My name is Hinata Hoshicai, and I am the person in charge of this operation to investigate your identity."

Looking at the red-haired man in front of him, Hinata Hoshicai introduced herself politely.

In response to Hinata Hoshicai's straightforward explanation, Shanks, who was sitting opposite her, also kindly stated his identity. "My name is Shanks, and my identity is a pirate. I came from another world."

He didn't seem surprised. Hinata Hoshicai and the others already knew the identity of this alien.

And Shanks was the same. He had already noticed that his identity had been seen through by the other party.

"Then... let me talk about the situation on our side first."

Hinata Hoshicai nodded and was about to explain the mission this time.

But Shanks raised his hand apologetically, "Sorry, I need to ask you a question first. This question is very important to me, and it depends on how much information I can reveal to you."

After a pause, he looked at the few people seriously, "Your identity... is it a hostile relationship with the Fire Country?"

"I hope you don't lie to me. If you do, no matter what force you are in this world, in order to keep my promise, I will treat you and the forces behind you as my enemies and destroy them."

His tone was sincere, but his words were arrogant.

He didn't understand the combat power of the force he belonged to, but he said bluntly that if he violated it, he would treat it as an enemy, regardless of whether his own strength could match it. It was really arrogant.

Even if Hinata Xingcai was suppressed without even having the chance to fight after a face-to-face encounter, he was still considered to be overestimating his own abilities.

"No."

Although she felt this way, Hyuga Xingcai still explained honestly, "The force to which our Hyuga clan temporarily belongs is called Konoha, which is a military organization responsible for the external and domestic protection of the Fire Country. Do you understand my explanation?"

"Okay."

Clapping his hands, Shanks smiled again, "Since you are in the same group as the people of the Fire Country, it will be easy."

"I have cooperated with them. While they help me, I will also meet some of their requirements, such as protecting their safety, or not cooperating with the hostile forces of the Fire Country, etc..."

"The requests they put forward are all reasonable, so I did not refuse and will comply with the promise."

Hyuga Xingcai Cai nodded, not really concerned about this matter, "So now can I explain my mission and the subsequent purpose of my visit?"

Shanks nodded, "Of course, whatever you want."

"It's like this, there are actually quite a few aliens like you in this world."

Hinata Xingcai explained, "And among them, different people have different attitudes towards our world, so once we find aliens, we will try to contact them and understand their personalities and attitudes."

"If they are malicious people, we will expel, control or even eliminate them."

"And for those with good intentions, we are also willing to cooperate with Hinata."

"Understandable."

Shanks nodded again.

"We are a military organization after all, and we are relatively familiar with some domestic intelligence."

Hinata Xingcai continued, "After obtaining some unusual information, we suspected that there were people from another world in the country, so we were sent out to investigate."

"After that, it was the situation you saw. We were directly controlled by you without any temptation."

"So... what is the attitude of Konoha, or Hyuga, where you are?"

For the fact that Hinata Xingcai frequently mentioned Hyuga instead of Konoha in her words, Shanks could see that this military organization called Konoha seemed to be composed of many forces, and these forces did not seem to be united.

"I can't answer this question for you. Our team is only responsible for simple exploration and information transmission."

Hinata Xingcai shook her head, "But our master has instructed that if you are willing to sit down and talk calmly, we are happy to invite you to visit, or... you can arrange the time and place, and our master will visit as promised."
