"Alright, take Stella and leave. Pack your things and make a life card before coming back here. Remember, I will contact you when needed. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, then contact me. Don't bother me with trivial matters." Ye Shi, feeling reassured after adding a layer of insurance, let Tesoro leave with the gold.
Rayleigh was somewhat curious: "With so many people, why did you choose him? Are you certain he can grow with the funds and devil fruit you gave him, rather than being swallowed whole by those people in the Underworld?"
Ye Shi nodded and spoke with a bit of a mystical air: "I have seen his possible future. Don't worry, he will become an emperor of the Underworld and manage an immense fortune in the future."
Rayleigh shook his head and said no more.
Ye Shi turned to ask Fujitora: "What are your plans, Mr. Fujitora? After this incident, it won't be easy to keep a low profile even if you want to. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Fujitora shook his head: "I plan to continue wandering for a while. I haven't decided where to go yet."
Hearing that Fujitora had no plans, Ye Shi suggested: "Why not try joining the Marine? With my recommendation and your strength, while I can't guarantee Admiral, you should at least be a Vice Admiral or an Admiral Candidate."
Fujitora was somewhat tempted, but after thinking of something, he still shook his head: "The current Marine doesn't need one more of me, does it?"
Hearing this, Ye Shi didn't try to persuade him further, but simply gave him a transponder snail: "There will come a day when the Marine's Three Admirals become Two Admirals. When that time comes, I hope you can come to fill that position."
Fujitora took the transponder snail without saying anything.
Rayleigh, standing nearby, remarked: "First you recruit a subordinate to make money, and now you're winning over an Admiral-level powerhouse. You've got quite the grand goals, little one."
Ye Shi was also curious upon hearing this and asked Rayleigh: "What are your plans next? You'll have to lie low for a while after something like this, right?"
Rayleigh nodded: "Although I don't think the Marine or the World Government will do much to me, it's good to avoid the spotlight. I need to find Captain Roger's sword; Ace should return to Ace's hands."
Ye Shi nodded: "Then you'd better move fast. Don't wait until Ace refuses to acknowledge Roger and instead takes Whitebeard as his father."
Rayleigh's aura suddenly faltered, and he gave a bitter smile: "Now that you say it, I feel it's really possible. I'd better find Ace himself first."
The Empress walked out after hearing the commotion: "Since that's the case, how about I give you a ride?"
Rayleigh nodded.
Seeing Ye Shi there, the Empress lunged forward and hugged her: "The little one is here too. Let me see if you're injured anywhere." As she spoke, she began to fuss over Ye Shi, checking her all over.
Ye Shi struggled in the Empress's embrace and could only manage: "If that fellow Tesoro comes, give him a ride too. Leave here quickly; this place is currently the eye of the storm. Be careful when you leave."
After saying that, she hurriedly pushed the Empress away and vanished in a flash.
The Empress, hearing Ye Shi's words, was immersed in Ye Shi's concern. Her mind was already filled with thoughts of life after marriage, and she slumped onto a chair as pink bubbles rose from her head.
Shakky sighed at the Empress's appearance, seemingly alarmed for the future of the Amazon Lily Kingdom.
After leaving Shakky's tavern, Ye Shi teleported to the seaside where the Celestial Dragons' ship was. From a distance, she saw the destroyed vessel. After hearing Fujitora's description, she knew Kuma must have been here. After scanning the area with Observation Haki and finding no one, she left.
With another flash, Ye Shi arrived at the front lines of the slave shop cleanup.
The shop owner across from her, seeing a Headquarters Lieutenant Commander arrive, hurriedly ran over: "Is there some misunderstanding here? Many people from the World Government have patronized my shop, and the Celestial Dragons even said they would come here. How can the Marine shut us down?"
Ye Shi nodded. Seeing this, the owner quickly brought over a stack of Berries.
Ye Shi turned and said to the Marines: "The Celestial Dragons died at the hands of slave traders. How can just shutting them down be enough? Seize their assets and see if there are any clues."
Then she turned back to the slave trader: "Oh, you said the Celestial Dragons have been here? Then you are also very suspicious. Did some conflict occur that made you hold a grudge?"
The slave trader's vision went dark when he heard that Celestial Dragons had died. After hearing Ye Shi's words, he couldn't even stand up. The nearby CP0 members immediately seized the man, preparing to interrogate him.
Ye Shi continued to instruct the Marines on the scene: "All these slave traders are suspects. Seize all their assets. Hand over anyone who resists to CP0; they must be resisting because they were involved or know something. Take all the slaves to the Marine Base first."
