"Grandpa!"
The moment the young man shouted, all the people around him turned their gaze in surprise, especially the man with gray hair, who continued to smoke a cigar.
"Grandpa? Do you know Vice Admiral Garp, Luffy?"
Yes, after Luffy and his group came to Loguetown, Luffy quickly invited Smoker, which Smoker agreed to as he could see that they weren't bad.
If it was before, Smoker might have caught Luffy, but now?
Yet, watching Masa's power, Smoker couldn't help but frown and clench his fists, wondering how he could catch up, especially when he had lost his Devil Fruit.
It was also the same case with Zoro and Sanji. Watching how powerful Masa was and how many beautiful women were by Masa's side made Sanji so jealous to death, but Zoro frowned when he saw a familiar woman by Masa's side, acting chummily, which made him slightly uncomfortable. But as he saw that woman happy, he remained in silence and sighed in relief inside.
Regardless, no one doubted how powerful Masa was, and this made Zoro and Sanji wonder how they could even run away.
Meanwhile, Usopp, well, he was just like he was, didn't think too much and just sighed in relief that all of them could escape.
Yet, when Luffy's angry shout echoed, all of them looked at him in confusion.
"That's my grandpa."
Luffy looked at the Den Den Mushi screen worriedly, wondering whether his grandfather was okay.
"Grandpa?!" 4x
Sanji, Zoro, Usopp, and Smoker were dumbfounded.
Yet, at this moment, Masa's face was already registered on Luffy's small mind as he thought of revenge, especially for what Masa had done to his family and also to Nami.
However, Luffy wasn't the only grandson who was angry; a young man with a freckled face also cried when he saw Garp was hurt.
"Granpa!"
The young man was enraged and then thought of Masa's identity before he prepared for his revenge!
Yet, what this young man didn't know was that he was already targeted by a certain someone.
Still, watching Masa's strength, everyone had their own reactions, especially those who stood above.
If Masa was just a simple king, then it would have been all okay, but if he had such strength with both a sword and Devil Fruit?
"Father!"
The man with an immense body drank alcohol in a big gulp as he looked at Masa with a frown, thinking of the unnatural and instant speed of sword drawing ability.
"Mamamama!"
"Worororo!"
The other two famous people within the sea could feel the sea wouldn't be in peace anymore and a huge storm was about to happen, but even so, so what?
All of them were the Four Emperors, and they had never been afraid of a challenge, except for one person.
"This person has to be disappeared."
"Shanks?"
Shanks, who looked at Masa's power and act, couldn't help but feel an intense hatred and disgust, thinking that the balance that he had protected for so long was broken by this young man. He might not have the evidence, but he could tell that it was this young man, which made him feel annoyed and angry as everything hadn't gone his way.
"Do you think that he might be related to Mihawk?"
"Mihawk?"
When Shanks thought of this friend of his, his expression once again turned solemn, especially after seeing Masa's swordsmanship. 'Along with that Devil Fruit?'
No, he couldn't let Masa become an admiral!
"Let's go!"
"Huh? Where are we going?"
"I need to talk with someone."
With his identity, Shanks knew those people would give him a face.
Still, whatever their reactions were, the Admiral War didn't stop, and all the fights continued as those participants showed their power one after another, causing many people to be in a daze, watching how powerful they were, especially those from the Marines, as their power had exceeded what they could imagine.
"By the way, is that Tashigi?"
"Now, that you mention it."
"Hina thought that she was just dreaming, but... that was really Tashigi."
Those who were close to Smoker or knew him knew about Tashigi, the one who had always helped this lawless guy, but unfortunately, when they thought of what had happened to Smoker, all of them turned ugly. Still, they felt that the truth was far from simple and that everything was hidden.
Smoker was just a victim of the power play of those who stood above him.
Turning their gaze to Masa, who lay on Kalifa's lap, all of them couldn't help but frown, thinking that this young man... was too bizarre.
"Hina, you are going to fight him, right?"
"Can you win?"
"You should just give up."
Hina frowned, but when she thought of Masa's power and the women by his side, she remained silent for a moment and said, "No, Hina will fight."
"...." Everyone.
Still, those who had a crush on Hina weren't sure, but they felt a strange palpitation and tightness in their chest, which made them unable to breathe.
Nevertheless, Masa and his group never paid attention to the weak.
As for the beautiful woman, Masa only glanced for a moment before his head was pulled by Perona and Tashigi.
While it was unexpected, Tashigi decided to help Perona despite knowing how useless her attempt would be. But thinking of all of the good women in this place, she knew that she had to protect them from Masa's evil claws.
"...what are you doing?"
Masa was speechless, but Tashigi asked, "By the way, Masa, are there really no Marines that can match those people that you mentioned?"
Their previous conversation had made them know which opponents Masa thought as powerful, but even so, none of those he mentioned were members of the Marines, which made Tashigi feel quite disappointed.
"No, they are all too weak."
"...." Everyone.
"Is that what you truly think, Your Majesty?"
Masa turned his gaze and looked at the elderly man, who appeared muscular despite his advanced age and metallic prosthetic arm. "Are you going to pick a fight, Zephyr?"
"I am sorry if my words might sound rude, but I think that it is too early for you to think that no Marines are weak."
Masa smiled and didn't raise his body, just laid his head on Nami's lap, who was looking at Zephyr curiously.
"...who is this Masa?"
"A good guy."
"Good guy?"
"Even if he knew his family, students, and everything were killed by pirates, he didn't resent those pirates nor did they kill them. Just beat them and put them in jail, the instructor of the Marines, and former admiral of the Marines, Zephyr."
While Masa's words caused anger in those who followed Zephyr, no one dared to say anything, especially when they had seen how cruel Masa was.
Despite killing Elizabello and his followers, no one touched Masa, and he could get away with ease even after he almost killed Garp, which showed that if they messed up with them, even if they had the protection of Zephyr, they would be killed instantly and instead of having Zephyr to save them, they might even endanger Zephyr's life.
"Then, do you think the pirates should all be killed? Is that what you think, Your Majesty?"
"No."
"No?"
At first, Zephyr frowned, but then he felt confused by Masa's answer.
"I will turn them into slaves and make them work until they die."
"..." Everyone.
Masa looked at Zephyr and asked, "So, what are you doing here? Do you want to talk about a philosophy about justice and evil? Do it somewhere else." It was meaningless to talk about those things, he thought, since as long as one was powerful, even a stupid sentence would become a quote that would be abid by many people.
"No, I just want to know you better, after all."
"Really?"
"Yes." Zephyr nodded and said, "Since I know that you will become the admiral."
"Zephyr-san!"
Those who followed Zephyr looked at him in surprise at his bold declaration and said that Masa would become the admiral.
Masa looked at Zephyr and asked, "Do you want to follow me after I become an admiral?"
"If you can erase all the pirates, then I will think about it."
"Sit over there. My followers sit on that side."
By then, Masa no longer paid attention to Zephyr, but Zephyr looked at Masa for a moment before he sat on the side where Masa's followers sat.
"Hello~! Nice to meet you~! I am Brook~! Masa-sama's first male follower~! Ah, even if I don't have that, I am still a male, okay?"
"....." Zephyr and everyone.
"Still, by the way, that beautiful lady, what is the color of your panties?"
"...." Ains.
Taking a deep breath, Ains looked at her teacher and asked, "Do we have to follow that young king, Zephyr-sensei?" Watching how many beautiful women by Masa's side, she could tell that this guy was a scumbag!
"He is powerful."
"..." Ains.
Yet, watching Zephyr, who directly joined Masa's side without hesitation and even made all of his followers follow this young king, no one could stay calm anymore.
