Chapter 348: Emperor of the Seas

"Gugu gu~"

Hearing that the God-Slayer Lin Yu would arrive at the Sabaody Archipelago tomorrow, Kaido poured himself another drink and said:

"I heard this fellow killed Bai Huzi during the Summit War?"

Queen laughed: "I have already investigated thoroughly; he merely succeeded in a surprise attack after Bai Huzi was severely injured by the combined efforts of Sengoku and Akainu."

Kaido waved his hand and said: "Regardless of whether it was a surprise attack, he successfully killed Bai Huzi. Therefore, I intend to bring him under my banner and educate him personally. You must keep a close watch tomorrow; the moment there is news, notify me immediately."

Queen immediately promised: "Understood, Boss."

Since the Boss had come personally, Queen decided to mobilize all his eyes and ears across the Sabaody Archipelago to monitor every port of entry and exit.

Sabaody Archipelago, a certain secret coating factory.

Shanks the Red sat inside a bar, looking at the newspaper in his hand, his brows furrowed.

The newspaper described how the Navy annihilated the Bai Huzi Pirates, yet there was not a single word about Lin Yu; clearly, the Navy had concealed it.

Of course, Shanks the Red knew that among the underworld news of the pirates, because the news of Lin Yu killing Bai Huzi had spread widely, many people secretly regarded Lin Yu as the new Emperor of the Seas.

Creak!

Benn Beckman, the second-in-command of the Red Hair Pirates, pushed open the bar door and entered, plopping down beside Shanks.

Shanks the Red poured a glass of wine and pushed it toward the other man.

"Gugu gu~" Beckman downed the beer in his hand in one gulp before speaking:

"According to rumors, the God-Slayer Lin Yu might come to the Sabaody Archipelago tomorrow."

"Of course, the source of the information cannot be traced, so it is unclear whether it is true."

Hearing this news, Shanks the Red stroked his chin and asked:

"How long will the coating take to complete?"

Beckman poured himself another glass of wine and said offhandedly: "They are already working overtime; it should take a few more hours."

Upon hearing this, Shanks the Red said in a deep voice: "Order all the hidden sentries on the island to closely monitor every ship arriving tomorrow."

"The moment you discover any trace of the God-Slayer Lin Yu, tell me immediately."

Beckman glanced at the straw hat before Shanks and said calmly: "Has Straw Hat Kid not woken up yet?"

"Yes!"

Shanks the Red casually placed the straw hat on his head and nodded: "Ivanov told me that Luffy overexerted himself too much, and combined with the massive blow he suffered, he needs several days to wake up."

"Huff!"

Beckman blew out a smoke ring and asked: "Then how do you plan to arrange things for Straw Hat Kid?"

Straw Hat Luffy has his own schedule, so he cannot stay with Shanks and the others forever.

Shanks played with the straw hat in his hand and laughed:

"I just met Lei Li; the old man's health is still good, so he should make a good teacher."

Beckman thought for a moment: "Why didn't Lei Li go to the Summit?"

Shanks waved his hand and said: "Even I only recently learned that Ace was Captain Luo Jie's son; let alone Lei Li."

"I see."

Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

The spire tower where the Five Elders reside.

"The prisoner Lin Yu's strength is growing stronger and stronger. Although it was a surprise attack, being able to seize the right moment to deliver a killing blow to Bai Huzi is not to be underestimated." The bald Five Elder, holding a demon sword in his arms, looked at the intelligence information regarding the Summit War in his hand and furrowed his brows slightly.

Although Sengoku had concealed Lin Yu's information, the Five Elders still obtained detailed materials regarding the Summit War.

"Moreover, he also attacked Impel Down, causing the deaths of a large number of prisoners; this is truly unforgivable!" the long-haired Five Elder said angrily.

Although Sengoku immediately issued a gag order to all relevant personnel regarding the matters of Impel Down and Blackbeard, the CP0 organization still found out and reported it to the Five Elders.

Sengoku, having no choice, in order to conceal the connection with Lin Yu.
