Chapter 97 Arrival at Shampoo Land [VIP]
"It's hard to understand." Yale gave his own evaluation.
He looked at Hongyi, the child who had grown up in the starship and had grown old. "You are indeed a very emotional child, Hongyi."
Hongyi laughed and nodded in agreement with the captain's statement.
"Yeah, I'm a more emotional type. Luckily, I have a processor now, so I don't get stuck on certain things."
"What's the matter?" Yale asked curiously.
He generally does not explore the thoughts of the crew members. This is both trust and self-confidence. He believes that the crew members will not betray him.
Hongyi certainly would not have the idea of betraying Yale.
In fact, if Yale did not hate gods and the distinction between superiors and subordinates, he would definitely kneel down when talking to Yale, and look up to his god with the most humble, respectful, and humble attitude.
Unlike now, he could only stand sideways next to the metal chair, keeping a slightly bent posture, which did not reflect the supreme status of Yale in his heart at all.
"Hmm... just some philosophical questions." Red Shift smiled wryly. "Will I still be myself after my consciousness is uploaded? Is a human a combination of body and spirit, or is the body merely a vessel for the spirit?"
He stopped there, because Yale really hated such meaningless questions.
"You are you," Yale concluded. "Redshift, unlike digital life extracted from other people's impressions, you are made up of your own memories and emotional data. Like a glass of water poured into another glass, it remains water."
"Yes, of course, it's definitely me." Hongyi quickly comforted.
"Captain, you look really nice this time, especially this beautiful red hair."
"Yeah, I think so too." Yale's attention was immediately diverted.
Compared to those boring questions, he actually prefers the new game skin.

The atmosphere between the captain and the crew over there became harmonious again, but the atmosphere in the government here, which was conducting a global conscription, was extremely serious.
The Beasts Pirates are definitely gone.
The warships sent there only found a deep sea pit, and even the Wano Country was completely gone.
If I have to say, this is actually good news.
Kaido the King of Beasts is well-known for wanting to start a world-class war, and this war with aliens can be considered a major war.
Given the other person's personality, he might make preparations for both scenarios.
Although the government has decided to fight to the death with Yale, it does not want to be attacked from both sides and is always on guard against backstabs from its own people from behind.
And the other good news is that the world conscription is going smoothly.
Since the live broadcast began, there has been a continuous flow of people signing up.
In particular, some member states that had done something wrong in the past increased funding and recommended a lot of talents to the navy.
There is a constant stream of people signing up in the Chagos Archipelago.
Most of them are people from member states. Under the strong propaganda of their own country, they regard Yale as a monster that will invade them sooner or later.
They have family, friends, and stable jobs, and they can't let that madman Yale ruin them.
Looking at this lively scene, the Straw Hat Pirates who had just arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago all showed surprised expressions.
However, Nami, Sanji and others were surprised by the teams that signed up, while Luffy and Chopper were even more surprised by the special bubble culture of the Sabaody Archipelago.
"It's amazing." Franky poked the bubble rising from his feet, marveling at its unique toughness.
Luffy had already entered a bubble and was carried into the sky by it, and then fell back to the ground as the bubble burst.
"Hahaha, this is so fun, these bubbles are magical!"
He stood up, holding his straw hat with one hand, and turned his head left and right like a rattle, and found another bubble that had just seeped out from the tree roots.
However, just as he was about to rush over to experience the feeling of bubbles rising into the air again, Nami punched him on the head.
"Okay, we still have work to do! Let's go to Shampooland and find Dadan and the others."
As early as in Alabasta, they asked Dadan, who had returned to the Sabaody Archipelago, to help find Pluto Rayleigh.
Dadan agreed readily and promised to find her in paradise when they arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.
She would be waiting there for them, taking them straight to Rayleigh.
Nami couldn't wait any longer.
Despite the living example of Dadan, she still worries about the safety of her family and friends.
The same goes for everyone else. Except for Brook and Robin, everyone else has family on the island controlled by Yale.
Speaking of which, they were able to arrive at the Sabaody Archipelago safely thanks to the mermaid Miss Kimi they met at sea.
If they hadn't summoned the fish to show them the way, it would have been unlikely for them to find the Sabaody Archipelago, which couldn't be navigated with a compass.
At the entrance of Shabaody Land, the Straw Hat Pirates successfully found a group of bandits who were selling barbecue.
Luffy was immediately hungry and grabbed the skewers and stuffed them into his mouth without hesitation, greeting them vaguely while eating.
Seeing how energetic he was, Dadan felt relieved.
Fortunately, Luffy and his friends arrived here safely.
The situation has changed too quickly recently. The government is about to have a decisive battle with Yale, but the Straw Hat Pirates are still nowhere to be found.
Dadan wanted to go out to sea to have a look, but fortunately she couldn't go out to sea, and Luffy and the others finally arrived here.
…
Inside Xia Qi's extortion tavern.
Holding today's "Happy Daily", Xia Qi held a lit cigarette in her mouth, looking lazy and tired.
This sea is becoming increasingly unstable. After turning over the report on the disappearance of the Beasts Pirates, she looked at the breaking news about the three sea emperors uniting with many pirate groups in the New World.
"The reason why the cooperation was able to be achieved so quickly was not only because of Yale's threat, but also because of the government's live broadcast and the disappearance of the Beasts Pirates."
Hearing this, Rayleigh, who was sitting at the bar drinking, nodded in understanding.
"If they don't unite, they will be targeted by Yale sooner or later."
A great pirate who can make a name for himself in the New World would rather die in battle than surrender without resistance.
Except for those who want to surrender to Yale, the pirates now all hope that someone can stand up and take the responsibility of uniting everyone.
"Oh, I almost want to join in." Xia Qi sighed, holding her chin and looking at her empty pub.
There haven't been any customers for several days and she can't even make any money.
Rayleigh understood her thoughts very well because it was difficult for him to make extra money recently.
This extra money refers to the money he earned by going to the auction house and falling into the trap.
Ever since the Celestial Dragons were captured and Yale conducted a live trial, the demand for slaves among the sea nobles has dropped significantly.
Even if it was just a temporary reprieve, it seriously affected the business of the slave auction house.
The slave auction houses on the Chagos Archipelago were particularly affected.
Because their biggest clients are the Celestial Dragons who rule here.
In addition to the extra income, Rayleigh's coating business was also affected.
Not to mention the red soil cracks, the disappeared islands alone have greatly reduced the enthusiasm of pirates to go to sea. Now few pirates want to go to the New World.
Just as they were thinking about it, the two people in the tavern heard the sound of the tavern door opening.
Dadan greeted enthusiastically, "Xia Qi, is Rayleigh here?"
Xia Qi raised her head, and after a hint of surprise, she smiled with understanding and gloating.
"What a coincidence! The person you're looking for is drinking here."
Rayleigh put down the bottle and turned to look at the door.
A straw hat caught his attention, and as he lowered his gaze, he met a pair of eyes that were excitedly looking around.
Luffy was still holding a skewer and chewing the food in his mouth.
After meeting his eyes, he swallowed the meat in his mouth and greeted with a smile, "Uncle, are you the vice-captain of One Piece? Teach us Haki!"
Nami patted his head and whispered through gritted teeth, "Be polite."
Luffy looked serious.
"Please teach us Haki!"
The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates followed immediately.
"Mr. Rayleigh, please teach us Haki!"
Thinking of the pit that Crocus and Buggy had dug for themselves, Rayleigh felt helpless and amused.
He originally thought that these children would realize that domineering power could not solve Yale's problem before coming to the Sabaody Archipelago, but he did not expect that they would actually come here with such a firm belief.
But there is no way around it, not many people are domineering in the first half.
The strong people that the Straw Hat Pirates came into contact with were either enemies who would not talk to them, or people who deceived them like Crocus. Vista, who was most likely to tell the truth, also chose to let it go.
After taking a sip of wine, Rayleigh asked, "Do you really think you can defeat Yale by learning Haki?"
"Whether it's possible or not, it's better than doing nothing!" Luffy said without hesitation.
After losing the ability of his fruit, learning and practicing Haki is his best choice to become stronger.
It’s always right to become stronger!
Rayleigh understood.
It’s not that they don’t guess that domineering power is useless, but they just want to become stronger.
"My tuition is very expensive."
Poor Lao Lei reminded us this.
Nami struggled for a moment, but when she thought of the villagers of Kokosia Village who were being enslaved by Yale, she became determined again.
Luffy: "We can pay with future treasure!"
Nami: "That's right!"
Rayleigh: ...
Do you really think I'm an easy person to fool?
A low laugh was heard, and Xia Qi looked at the group of children with admiration.
"You won't learn much in less than a month."
"It's better than doing nothing." Zoro said seriously.
One month later is their only chance. If they cannot defeat Yale, who knows what the world will become because of him.
Rayleigh breathed a sigh of relief. Rather than compromising, it would be more accurate to say that he had already decided to help them.
What he said just now was just a test. "Okay, let me make it clear in advance that special training is very hard."
Hearing his words, everyone's eyes lit up.
The guidance from One Piece's vice-captain sounds impressive!
