I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 53 Boarding the Ship of the Four Emperors

The red-haired man chuckled, unconcerned, and added, "This drink is on me. Remember, go home as soon as you finish it."

"Captain Shanks, kids will hate you if you keep nagging!" Lucky Roux grinned as he devoured meat, his fat undulating like waves, making him look quite comical.

Shanks laughed and scolded, "You should mind your own business, Lucky. You're always the one who talks the most."

Afterwards, Makino took a glass of rum and walked back to the bar, pushing it towards Chu Yang in front of her.

Chu Yang took the drink and toasted Shanks. Shanks also raised his glass in return. Chu Yang drank it all in one gulp before saying, "You're wrong about one thing. Even if I finish this drink, I still won't be able to go home."

Shanks' smile suddenly faded, and he frowned.

Chu Yang explained, "I was a slave. I only recently managed to escape. The word 'go home' is a luxury for me."

After saying that, Chu Yang pulled his clothes down a little, revealing a faint scar on his chest. Although it was very faint, Shanks could tell from its shape that it was a very serious and fatal wound.

The tavern gradually quieted down, and the Red-Haired Pirates crew members all focused their attention on Chu Yang. For a child to calmly utter such words was undoubtedly a powerful shock.

Upon hearing Chu Yang's tragic story, Shanks suddenly recalled the arson attack that occurred in Mary Geoise a few months ago, when many Celestial Dragon slaves escaped from Mary Geoise.

Shanks instantly understood Chu Yang's identity, and his eyes naturally revealed sympathy.

If slaves in the world can be divided into classes, then the slaves of the Celestial Dragons are undoubtedly the most miserable!

The capricious Celestial Dragons are quite adept at torturing slaves, and they can easily inflict all sorts of punishments that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Chu Yang's words, along with his injuries, brought tears to Makino's eyes, but she didn't know what to say to comfort him.

Only little Luffy was still fooling around in the tavern, completely carefree.

However, thanks to him, the tavern, which had been quiet for a while, became lively again.

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, Shanks handed Chu Yang another glass of wine, but this time he didn't bring up the nonsense about "going home after drinking."

After going through so much, no matter how old we are, we all need the comfort of alcohol.

The two clinked glasses and smiled at each other.

"Luffy! What did you eat?!"

The panicked shouts immediately attracted the attention of Chu Yang and Shanks.

Shanks' expression changed abruptly upon seeing the treasure chest beside him being opened.

He grabbed Luffy's foot, turned him upside down, and shook him violently.

They were trying to shake out what Luffy had eaten.

In his panic, Luffy not only failed to spit out what he had eaten, but instead swallowed it whole.

Haw!

Little Luffy was like a stretched-out rubber band stuck to the floor, his legs still in Shanks' hands.

This scene terrified everyone, and the tavern erupted in chaos, except for Chu Yang, who calmly continued drinking.

As night fell, Makino's tavern closed, and the pirates returned to their ships in the port to sleep. Chu Yang followed the crowd back to his own small boat.

As Shanks was about to board the ship, he happened to see Chu Yang's small boat, drifting alone on the sea like a piece of duckweed.

Beckman, standing beside Shanks, observed his every move and chuckled, "If you can't bear it, bring the child aboard. Would you really feel comfortable leaving him to drift on the open sea like this?"

"What a nuisance." Shanks grumbled, but his body betrayed him as he walked toward Chu Yang, stopping in front of Chu Yang's small boat.

Chu Yang was sitting upright, meditating.

"Hey kid, come with me. Your boat doesn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain!"

The following day, Chu Yang became the youngest trainee crew member in the Red-Haired Pirates and began his pirate career of further learning Haki.

Naruto World.

Compared to Chu Yang in the One Piece world, who successfully joined one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, Chu Yang here did not have a smooth teaching career.

The Third Hokage's shyness and timidity during his childhood were all an act. Once he became familiar with his surroundings, he was incredibly mischievous, even more so than Naruto was as a child.

The school was thrown into chaos shortly after the start of the semester!

Using his three-body tricks to prank teachers has become a daily routine for him.

Add to that the seemingly honest but actually cunning Danzo Shimura, and the two of them work together to keep the teachers at the ninja academy in a state of confusion and chaos.

The two, one working inside and the other outside, cooperated seamlessly, subtly revealing the prototype of their future management of Konoha.

The teachers at the school had no way to deal with them, mainly because of the Sarutobi clan behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Aside from Hiruzen Sarutobi, the other children from prominent families at the school were in a similar situation; when they made mistakes, the teachers mostly chose to let it go.

At this time, Konoha had just been established, and the open and covert struggles between the various clans were extremely fierce. The Ninja Academy was also a special place, and if things were not handled properly, it could cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

For example, if the young master of one family beats up the young master of another family, the school's stance on either side could be misinterpreted by the other side as the school sending a certain signal.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Tobirama Senju, as the principal, would not personally punish students, even if they had committed serious violations of school rules.

But Chu Yang felt that things couldn't continue like this.

If the excessive behavior of people like Hiruzen Sarutobi or other members of powerful families is always tolerated and rarely punished, then one day they will become increasingly outrageous and easily cross the line.

The most serious situation is that the children of these powerful families unite to oppress the children of ordinary people.

Once class status takes root in schools, it can have a devastating impact on students' growth, especially considering that nearly half of the students come from ordinary backgrounds.

Having shared the memories of the magical Chu Yang, the Chu Yang of the Naruto world was well aware of the dangers of tacitly accepting the existence of this bloodline theory.

He didn't want a ninja school to become an organization similar to Slytherin.

So Chu Yang went to Tobirama Senju that very night and explained his thoughts to him.

As a fellow member of the same clan, Tobirama Senju was somewhat blinded by his own limited perspective on this matter, which is understandable given his inability to connect it to this aspect.

If Chu Yang hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have realized the seriousness of the problem for a long time.

Having just finished dealing with official business, Tobirama Senju fell into deep thought after listening to Chu Yang's report. He then couldn't help but sigh, "In this regard, you are just as sensitive as your elder brother. If the school's attitude is not clear and firm enough, it will inevitably encourage this kind of unhealthy trend."

"But who will handle this is another question. Ordinary teachers would probably be very wary of the pressure from those families."

Chu Yang smiled and said, "I am the best candidate. Officially, I am your teacher; personally, I am also your disciple, the Hokage, and a member of the Senju clan. I can withstand the pressure."
