Summoning the One Piece King

Pushing open the door to "Auntie Shao's Rip-Off Bar," Ye Dongqiang ** walks in.

"Ah... Life is hard! I never should have summoned those guys."

Xia Qi hands the sighing Ye Dongqiang a glass of liquor. Leaning on the bar with one hand, she asks curiously, "What's wrong this time, little city lord?"

Ye Dongqiang downs the drink and grumbles, looking rather annoyed.

"Would you believe it? That old Whitebeard has opened an orphanage in town! And every day, he tells the kids, 'Carry my flag and become the freest mercenaries!' Damn it, the whole city is in chaos every single day!"

"And the biggest headache is Monkey D. Luffy! That bastard actually collapsed an allied mine and freed tens of thousands of slaves. Sigh, the compensation bill's already arrived. I don't know if the treasury can afford it."

"I tried reasoning with him, damn it! The guy actually fell asleep, then woke up and kept shouting, 'I'm gonna be the King of the Mercenaries!'"
