One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

Chapter 286 King Shiki's Feelings

Carsen continued to eat the food in his bowl. Not long after the banquet started, most of the food on the table had already gone into Carsen's stomach.

Although it was a very elegant posture, the food on the table was consumed at a strange speed. A pair of chopsticks swept away all the food on the table like a whirlwind.

"Shiqi, your meal is gone, give me some more."

Carsent burped, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a few sips.

Different from the previous communication with Neptune, this banquet was all about chatting and doing nothing from the beginning.

Manhattan is now in charge of all Lion Kingdom affairs, with Shiki serving only as a mascot and the ultimate military deterrent.

It's similar on Carson's side. All headquarters matters are handed over to Zhiya, while matters concerning the Aegis Eternal are handled jointly by Gion and Ant.

Carson is better at analyzing problems from a big picture perspective, but he is not very good at this kind of detailed conversation.

After all, communication between countries is often very rigorous. Every sentence must be supported by a lot of data and analysis must be done here and there.

The leaders of the two countries can't just find a place to sit down and start chatting about everything under the sun.

In the end, the two sides had a cordial and friendly exchange, but in fact nothing was communicated.

So, normal meeting-style communication is not suitable for Carsen and Shiqi. Unless they exchange force, it is really difficult for them to have a serious political exchange.

"Shiki, you have been the king for half a year. What do you think of this identity as a king compared to your previous position as a pirate admiral?"

While the dishes were being changed, Carson looked around at the magnificent hall and asked casually.

"Hahahaha, to be honest, I think being a king is great. I don't have to do anything, and I can earn countless Baileys every month."

"My monthly income is now equal to the treasures I obtained during the previous two or three months of sea raiding."

"No wonder so many people like to be king."

Carsent's question seemed to open up Shiqi's chatterbox. Shiqi leaned casually on the back of his chair and started talking incessantly.

"You don't have to work so hard, and you can earn...how much is the income every month?"

Shiqi paused, and for a moment he couldn't remember clearly.

"Forget it. No matter how much the income is, the money is like running water, flowing to this king's side."

"A day like this is like a fairyland."

Since the establishment of the Lion Kingdom, Shiki felt that being a king was the most comfortable job in the world. What he was most grateful for was that he listened to Manhattan's seemingly nonsensical opinion on founding the country after the New World Naval War.

During the past six months, Shi Ji had a lot of feelings, but he couldn't tell them directly to the people around him. After all, what's the point of talking to subordinates? Of course, it's more interesting to talk to people at the same level.

At this time, the first thing that Shiki thought of was his old friends Roger and Whitebeard. However, Roger's pirate group was now in the New World and it was difficult to determine where they were, and Whitebeard was busy looking after his sons, so they had no time to listen to Shiki's bragging.

But if I take the initiative to approach him, I will seem a little cheap.

This time, Shiki invited the Navy to have a drink and a chat with his old rival, Mr. Garp. Unexpectedly, the Navy sent Carsente instead.

“Just having an ocean, or even just a quarter of the New World, is enough.”

"I dare not even think about how happy those parasites in the World Government are to own the entire ocean and cover the sky!"

"Just for this ultimate enjoyment, this king will also experience the power of the king of the world once, hahahaha!"

Shiqi's tone had reached a climax, and he smashed the delicate wine glass to the ground, causing glass shards to fly everywhere.

Feeling the domineering and heroic spirit that Shiqi exuded from the inside out, Carsent was not surprised at all.

Carsen knew that Ski was not the kind of person who would indulge in momentary enjoyment and give up long-term goals.

From the beginning to the end, Shiki has always taken the old captain Rocks as an example, attempting to fulfill the old captain's unfulfilled wish, unify the entire New World, and start a war with the World Government, and finally become the king of the entire world.

This has always been Shiki's goal, and Shiki has never forgotten it.

From the "hello" exchange between the two when they met, Carsen could clearly feel that under the prosperity and relaxation of his status as a king, Shiqi's domineering color not only did not retreat or decline in the slightest, but instead became stronger, more domineering and heroic than before.

The domineering aura of the Conqueror's Haki is the most direct manifestation of will. Will will not lie, power will not deceive people, Shi Ji's power and domineering aura have not declined at all, which means that Shi Ji's ambition has never diminished.

In other words, Shi Qi really just found that the identity of king could help him better dominate the world, rather than indulging in the luxury and enjoyment of a king.

"Shiki, you know that the World Government is not that fragile."

"At the very least, your old captain didn't even force out the true nature of the World Government that time."

Carsent swung the wine glass in his hand, seemingly casually revealing a piece of crucial information.

"I know. The legendary king Elbaf showed a power that shook the world in that battle. He also left Roger, that idiot, with a wound that will be difficult to heal for the rest of his life."

"And the three ancient weapons that are known as the King of Heaven, the King of Pluto and the King of the Sea, are still missing."

"When it comes to this issue, let's clear the field first."

Shiki said, waving his hand. All the soldiers except Manhart left.

"Okay, you guys go too, Anna can stay."

This question is indeed not suitable for too many people to know. There is no need for people like the Holy Shield to know this. Or for everyone who is still confined to the navy system, it is not suitable for them to know this.

You know, even Borsalino and Sakaski had never come across the specific description of the three ancient weapons within the navy, but only knew that such things existed.

After a while, there were only four people left in the huge banquet hall, and the spacious hall seemed a little empty.

"Hahahaha, Carsente, do you think this admiral can fight against this so-called ancient weapon?"

Seeing everyone's stance, Ski did not continue to ask further questions as Carsen had expected. Instead, he laughed out loud and asked a question that Carsen had not expected.

"Shiki, you still have your Lion Kingdom and your pirate army. No matter what, you can't rule the world by yourself, right?"
