The Straw Hat officially debuted!
Shaya didn't have much expectation for them; these subordinates were too weak!
But the more chaotic the world, the more beneficial it was for him. He hoped they would cause more trouble!
"Listen up, you guys. The Lord let you out to train you. If you die out there, you'll be punished even in hell. Do you hear me?!"
Anas looked at Luffy and the others with displeasure, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
Why was the Lord so good to them, giving them money, swords, and Devil Fruit!
A bunch of little trash wanting to rise to power? Dream on!
"Next time I see you, I'll take you down in one move!"
Zoro grinned, three great swords hanging at his waist!
Aside from the Wado Ichimonji, the other two were made by Shaya himself on a whim!
Gathering Moon metals, condensed through countless collisions, they finally took shape. Their hardness, sharpness, and toughness were absolutely of top-tier great sword level, second only to Supreme Grade great swords.
"Next time I see you, I'll kick you away!"
Sanji, puffing on a cigarette, said arrogantly. Shaya had thrown him a Chinese cookbook!
"Next time I see you, you still won't be able to hit me!"
Nami proudly tilted her small head. Poor Anas still didn't know Armament Haki, and Nami had given him a good beating!
With the side-effect-free Logia-type cloud-cloud fruit, Nami's potential was still very high, after all, she had "innate Armament Haki."
"Next time I see you, I'll punch you away!"
Luffy picked his nose and said casually. Usopp silently whispered, "Next time I see you, no, please never see you again."
Shaya didn't give Luffy anything; after all, he gave a billion to Nami. Maybe Nami would be willing to buy food for Luffy, maybe.
The protagonist didn't need anything. He did give Usopp a good gun, because Shaya got annoyed seeing Usopp play with a slingshot!
A sniper playing with a slingshot all day made Shaya not even in the mood to train him.
"Hehe, hahahaha, good, good, good!"
Anas laughed hysterically, furious. These little pieces of trash were getting more and more arrogant.
"I'm going to..."
"Bye-bye, no need to see us off! Zoro, set sail, let's go!"
Nami's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled. Immediately, white clouds enveloped the Going Merry, and it vanished in the blink of an eye.
"These bastards, don't let me see you again!"
Anas roared, full of ferocity!
He prided himself as Shaya's number one subordinate, but seeing a few pieces of trash becoming stronger than him, Anas was extremely displeased!
He also wanted to become stronger, stronger than any other lackey!
... Half an hour later,
Alabasta!
A superpower in the first half of the Grand Line!
At a corner in the capital, Alubarna, an invisible small portal appeared, and three figures flashed out from it.
"A superpower, I really want to bring everyone here back!"
Arriving here, Shaya felt a scorching heat. Not far away was the desert, extremely dry.
Looking at the people on the street ahead, Shaya's heart was full of desire!
What is a superpower?
Here, it refers to land area and population!
One must know that Alabasta's capital alone had a standing army of 600,000!
During the rebellion in the story, the rebel army started with 1 million, and later increased to 2 million. This was the number of rebels!
Leaving aside the rebels, just the standing army of 600,000, calculating based on the proportion of young adults joining the army, approximately 40% of young adults over 18, with about 10% of those young adults joining the army, this implies... Alabasta's total population is no less than 15 million!
However, the proportion of young adults and the proportion of young adults joining the army were overestimated by Shaya. It's likely even lower, as this country is poor and cannot afford too many soldiers. In fact, the number of soldiers should be higher.
So, without overestimating, the total population should be no less than 30 million!
After all, Fish-Man Island alone has 5 million people. A superpower should at least be no less than 6 times that!
"If tens of millions of people all had the bright moon badge, I would truly be invincible!"
Shaya was eager for talent, and even more eager for people. Bringing Alabasta to the Moon, whether willingly or unwillingly, as long as these people submitted, Shaya would have a standing combat force of at least tens of millions!
With the power of tens of millions of people gathered in one body, Shaya could make the World Government call him daddy!
But the Moon was too barren. Before he got the right to terraform, he could only support dozens of people at most, and even then, he'd have to come down to catch fish every day, which was too much trouble.
"My Lord, you... went the wrong way... didn't you!"
Seeing Shaya stray further and further, almost walking into the desert, Anas couldn't help but remind him.
"Crocodile is ahead. Forget it, I'll spare his life for now. Let's go wander around the city."
Shaya spoke casually, as he would never admit that he was distracted and took the wrong path.
"Wuwu! My Lord is too kind!"
Anas, the number one lackey, immediately felt the benevolent radiance, wishing he could grovel.
Mihawk's eyelids twitched. Shaya ignored him and walked towards the city.
As soon as the three entered the city, they attracted everyone's attention!
Those who recognized Mihawk were filled with dread. Those who didn't recognize him were surprised by the dog-headed Anas, and then all were drawn to Shaya!
Even with his divinity restrained, Shaya still possessed a demeanor far beyond ordinary people.
That transcendent aura, distinct from ordinary people, made it impossible to look away. His eyes, like a starry river, made people dare not look directly, making them feel inferior!
And his extraordinarily handsome appearance attracted countless young ladies... In an instant, many young girls and married women had sparkling eyes, even rubbing their thighs!
"Ahhh, this man!"
"This man is so charming!"
"Get out of the way, don't block my view!"
In just a few seconds, the city streets became chaotic, instantly earning Shaya a lot of hate.
There were even reporters snapping photos, wishing they could make Shaya the number one celebrity in the Pirate World!
A few thugs, green with envy and hatred, cursed him, but before they could get close, Anas cut them to pieces. In a blink of an eye, the street was empty, everyone having fled in terror.
A few minutes later, the three entered a small tavern!
At the same time!
"Report! Hawkeye has appeared in Alabasta!"
A Marine Lieutenant looked at Hawkeye entering the tavern with pleasant surprise. The higher-ups had said that if the Straw Hat, Baratie, or Hawkeye were discovered, reporting it accurately would lead to promotion and wealth!
"Sir! Hawkeye Mihawk is here!"
Outside the tavern, a shifty-eyed man reported to Baroque Works headquarters. Crocodile needed information on any strong individuals arriving in Alabasta to prevent problems.
Within minutes of entering the city, Shaya and his companions were targeted by two factions!
