Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Anyway, there's a sunflower shop there, and basically no one will live on that street anymore, so we might as well give it away to someone who dares to live there.

Chapter 134 General? Queen? A sudden and unexpected disturbance

After helping the number of teachers at the Terakoya increase from one to two, achieving a qualitative breakthrough, and then helping Grandpa Hassan find a place to stay, Bai Ye returned to the Dimensional Shop after doing all this.

Because he had attended a class next to the temple in the morning, the twin sisters had already prepared lunch when Bai Ye returned to the Dimensional Shop, and were just waiting for him to come back and eat.

However, before eating, Bai Ye had to deal with a historical problem – Xianglin's Wife.

Slip of the tongue, I meant the Warring States period.

“I was so stupid, really,” Sengoku raised his lifeless eyes and continued, “I only knew that Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji all had problems with their sense of justice. Akainu’s absolute justice, Aokiji’s lack of diligence, and Kizaru’s serious but not working attitude. I wanted to use the situation in Esdeath’s world to brainwash them, but I didn’t expect that world would have such a big impact on them…”

Bai Ye had an urge to kick this guy away and cancel his ID card.

"Can you just tell me what it is? Or if you're not in a hurry, you can sit here for a while until I finish dinner?"

“Uh…” Among those who can become marshals, there are quite a few who are not shrewd. Sengoku naturally saw Baiye’s impatience, so he quickly put away the resentful look on his face and told him about the situation he was in.

The whole thing started with the three lieutenant generals... now there are three generals.

After being thrashed by the Supreme Imperial Arms in Esdeath's world, the three vice admirals returned and worked hard to improve themselves. Akainu, who was already quite aggressive, was no exception, and even the two lazy ones, Aokiji and Kizaru, stopped slacking off. Not long after they returned, their strength reached the level of admirals. At this time, the World Government was pressing them hard, and after Ku was promoted to the position of World Government Commander-in-Chief, he conveniently moved Sengoku to the position of Fleet Admiral. Then, these three with sufficient strength filled the vacancies of admirals.

Sengoku originally thought that the three admirals, who had reformed their ways, could set a good example for the navy. So Sengoku took the opportunity to give all the powers that an admiral should have to them at once. But to his surprise, on their first day in office, the three admirals each took a small boat to the New World and went to find the great pirate Edward Newgate—yes, the one from the Whitebeard Pirates.

Then the three newly appointed admirals were beaten up by Whitebeard, who was at the peak of his strength at the time. This incident dominated the headlines of the newspapers for half a month. In the end, the World Government couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to suppress the matter.

Because of this, Sengoku was scolded by the Five Elders.

He had initially thought that the three admirals would have learned their lesson and become more restrained, but unexpectedly, after their injuries healed, they became even more outrageous. In less than two months, it escalated to the point where all the pirates, large and small, throughout the New World united to resist the three admirals' violence.

Fortunately, Whitebeard and his crew weren't interested in these "minor skirmishes." In addition, although the three admirals were Devil Fruit users, they were not afraid of the threat of the sea. Even if they were surrounded, they could simply jump into the water and escape. Otherwise, Sengoku would have seriously wondered if what followed would have been a melodramatic storyline where the pirate alliance killed the three admirals, breached the Marine Headquarters, overthrew the World Government's tyranny, and ushered in the "True Great Pirate Era."

So after hastily dragging the three admirals back to Marine Headquarters, Sengoku, feeling that he was about to be driven crazy by these three talents, came to the Dimensional Shop to complain.

After listening to Sengoku's account, Byakuya felt that with the three admirals causing so much trouble, the world of One Piece was basically in ruins, just like the Third Hokage who came to him a few days ago carrying a huge box of Sand Village ninjutsu scrolls to exchange for money.

So, is it true that Bai is the root of all evil?

"Although I sympathize with your situation, it's no use coming to me now. Do you expect me to go there myself, beat them half to death, and teach them a lesson?"

"I think this is a great idea!" Sengoku's eyes lit up.

"...Don't even think about it!" Bai Ye flatly refused, and incidentally sent a shiver to Esdeath, who was in another world.

A short while later, Esdeath emerged from the portal.

"Manager, is there something you need?"

"Is the war still going on your end?" Bai Ye frowned as he smelled the blood on Esdeath.

“Sometimes I really wonder if you, shopkeeper, can see what I’m like in that world.” Esdeath looked at Byakuya strangely. “Just today, I suppressed the last resistance force of the northern barbarians. Now I have to make their prince lick the soles of my shoes clean, and he has no choice but to do so.”

The twin sisters on the side exchanged a glance... like-minded people?

"Now that it's over, you should be heading back to the capital, right?"

"Yes, the minister sent word that the capital's defenses were greatly weakened due to the chaos caused by three mysterious figures. Even General Bud was injured. The revolutionary army's night raids took the opportunity to kill many nobles. So, after quelling the rebellion in the north, I will go back and deal with those little rats first."

"That's perfect. Those three gentlemen really gave the Sengoku Grand Marshal... Sengoku Fleet Admiral quite a hard time. The root of it all is the Empire's Supreme Imperial Arm. With you and those three joining forces, even if you can't defeat the Supreme Imperial Arm one-on-one, the four of you together should be able to wear it down. After all, your Emperor..."

Can you really expect an emperor who has been turned into a puppet by his ministers to perform beyond his usual level?

“Hmm… the suggestion is not bad, but as the Great General of the Empire, why should I go against the Empire?” Esdeath pondered for a while and suddenly asked a question that left Byakuya speechless.

"So, to put it another way, don't you think 'Queen Esdeath' sounds more appealing than 'General Esdeath'?"

"...What did you just say was even more exciting?" Esdeath blinked her blue eyes, looking at Byakuya expectantly.

"Queen Esdeath."

"Hmm~ It's really good. I'll grant your request."

white night:"……"

Taking care of two worlds at once should make me very happy, so why am I not happy at all?

Kid, you've gone astray too!

Looking at the woman in front of him with a suspicious blush on her face, Bai Ye clicked his tongue.

Are you trying to trick me into calling myself Queen?

Believe it or not, I'll run to a temple and get a teacher's identity right now, and the next time we meet, you'll have to call me grandmaster!

Chapter 135 The Ultimate Weapon for Catching Sheep - Anion Light Sphere

Having gained Esdeath's approval, Sengoku returned and within two minutes brought over the berserk versions of the three generals, handing them over to Esdeath. He then hurriedly bid farewell to Byakuya and the others, indicating that he had many matters to attend to...

After all, the disappearance of the three Logia-type Admirals, the highest combat force of the Navy Headquarters, is no joke.

After Esdeath and her group left, Bai Ye shook his head speechlessly and sat down at the table.

"Master, who were those people just now...?"

"Guests, didn't I already tell you?" Bai Ye gave Saloras a strange look.

"I just feel that Queen Esdeath... um~" For some reason, Saloras, who was also given the title of queen, squeezed his legs together and rubbed them together.

"Eat your food, what nonsense are you thinking about?!"

"Oh." She touched her forehead where Bai Ye had tapped her. Although she was shoveling rice into her mouth just like Bai Ye and Black Jeanne, it was clear that the twin sisters weren't really focused on eating.

After the meal, a... or rather, a guest that surprised Bai Ye, arrived at the Dimensional Shop.

With its grey fur, patched hat, vertical scar on its right cheek, a notch on its left ear, and upright walking posture, Bai Ye thought this door was becoming increasingly adorable when choosing its customers lately…

"Grey Wolf?"

"Hey, who are you? How do you know my name, King Grey Wolf? Are you one of my admirers?" As he spoke, under the speechless gazes of Bai Ye and the others, Grey Wolf threw his head back and burst into laughter.

white night:"……"

When he finally finished laughing, his gaze fell on the Eredar twins' bodies...heads.

Horns = sheep horns = sheep... sheep?

"Hahaha, although I don't know where this is, today seems to be my lucky day, King Grey Wolf! I'll eat that purple-skinned one that looks unhealthy first, and take the rest back to my wife and kids... Slurp!" Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, Grey Wolf pounced on Saloras, who was closer to him.

Snapped!

As a high-ranking demon lord, although they are not particularly outstanding in close combat because they both chose the mage talent like Kil'jaeden, if they were the type who could easily drag a goblin into the woods and have their way with it, Kil'jaeden wouldn't have kept them for so many years, no matter how much he valued their abilities. At least when facing most of the weaker enemies, the Twins can still crush them.

Take, for example, this strange creature in front of her who mistook her race and dared to boast that he would eat her.

With a whip, Saloras knocked Grey Wolf from the air to the ground. She snorted coldly, flicked her whip, and was about to make Grey Wolf suffer again, but Bai Ye stopped her.

However, it seems that the wolf is somewhat... ungrateful?

Seeing Grey Wolf pull out a small black ball with a horizontal line drawn on it from somewhere on his body and then throw it at Saloras, Bai Ye snorted and reached out to catch it.

A tingling, numb sensation quickly spread from the hand that was holding the black ball throughout his entire body.

"This is impossible!" The once confident Grey Wolf was completely dumbfounded: "This is the ultimate sheep-catching weapon left by my great-great-great-great-grandfather. It can release a full 100,000 volts of negative ion light. No animal can withstand it!"

"No animals, then what about you?"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is..." Bai Ye weighed the small ball in his hand and casually tossed it to Grey Wolf: "Why don't you try catching it yourself, you stupid wolf who can't even listen to me properly!"

Zi~~~

……

After a series of mischievous antics, Grey Wolf, who had been electrocuted to the point of near death but was now lively again after simply shaking off the dust, finally sat down obediently in the chair.

"You're saying that I, the Great King, have actually arrived in a completely new world?" Gray Wolf looked at White Night suspiciously as he flipped through the instruction manual in his hand.

"if not?"

"I knew it! I've never seen such a strange-looking sheep before on the Green Green Grassland." After glancing up and down at the twin sisters, Grey Wolf ultimately decided that it was their horns that won him the upper hand.

"...I'll emphasize one last time, those two are definitely not sheep."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I think they're sheep." Grey Wolf jumped off the chair, waving the instruction manual in his hand. "Don't you have anything like a shopping list here? It says you can sell anything, but how am I supposed to know what you have?"

"As long as your request isn't too outrageous, I can meet it."

"Then...where are the sheep?"

"Do you want it alive, or already cooked and plated?"

"Really?" Grey Wolf's voice instantly rose several notches.

"Hmm~"

"Then give me two live ones first..." Thinking of the flock of dead sheep on the Green Green Grassland that made his liver ache, Grey Wolf smirked: "Forget it, give me some cooked ones first."

If even a cooked sheep can run away like Pleasant Goat and the others, then King Grey Wolf will have to become a vegetarian!

Under Grey Wolf's gaze that looked at him like he was a god, Bai Ye reached out and pulled out a thick menu with illustrations. "I didn't give you a list before because there were too many things. You might not be able to finish reading it even after decades. Now that it's specific to cooked sheep, it's much simpler. Which one do you want?"

He snatched the menu and drooled as he looked at the delicious dishes that only existed in his childhood memories.

"This king wants stir-fried mutton with scallions, roasted lamb chops, mutton soup, hot pot mutton, braised mutton... Hey, don't take it away! Even just let this king see it and feast his eyes."

"..." Letting the wolf king, who was probably the most miserable one, snatch the recipe, Bai Ye casually grabbed a handful of lamb skewers that had already been sprinkled with chili powder and coated with cumin, and gave some to Black Jeanne and the twin sisters.

Although we had just eaten dinner, this amount of lamb skewers was still fine.

"As for mutton, you can have as much as you want, 2.4, no problem. But you've read the instructions, and I'm not a charity here. You have to give me something in return, right?"

The wolf, who had just been eyeing the lamb skewers in Bai Ye's hand, froze instantly: "But I don't have any money QAQ"

"Who wants your Green Green Grassland's money!" Bai Ye's lips twitched, and he pointed to the anion orb on the table: "I accept everything except money. For example, how about your ultimate sheep-catching weapon, a thousand sheep?"

"one thousand?!!"

"Is that too little? Then... two thousand?"

"..."

"not enough?"

"Enough, enough, that's enough!" Without another word, Grey Wolf picked up the anion orb and handed it to Bai Ye: "Now it's yours, but where's my sheep?"

Chapter 136 Bai Ye, the Manager of the Scrap Metal Recycling Station

Strictly speaking, the Dimensional Shop grants Bai Ye, the shopkeeper, the ability to seal items into cards. The items that can be sealed include, but are not limited to, energy, attacks, weapons, one-time projections of high-end weapons, and even everyday necessities like rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea...

It excludes living creatures.

So, after obtaining his consent, Bai Ye replaced the two thousand sheep that Grey Wolf obtained from selling the anion light sphere with two thousand frozen sheep—in fact, this was exactly what Grey Wolf wanted, as he was worried that the live sheep would turn into silly sheep like Happy Sheep after arriving at the Wolf Castle.

Clutching a stack of cards, Grey Wolf reappeared in Wolf Castle, in his private laboratory, after passing through the portal.

"Wife, wife—"

"What are you yelling about in the middle of the day? Can't the wolf take a beauty nap?" A spinning frying pan flew towards him in an arc through the air. Grey Wolf quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the iron pan that could kill a wolf.

"You dare to hide?!"

This time, the flying frying pan turned into three, perfectly blocking all of Grey Wolf's escape routes. After three clanging sounds, a big bump appeared on Grey Wolf's head, and only when Red Wolf saw this result did she stop.

"No, honey, this time we've really struck it rich!"

Shaking his head and tossing a few frying pans aside, Grey Wolf excitedly pulled a card from his pocket and broke it into pieces in front of Red Wolf.

A series of tiny specks of light drifted by, forming in front of the two wolves a whole sheep that had already been processed and frozen solid.

Even though he had already seen similar scenes in the Dimensional Shop, Grey Wolf still jumped up with joy—he, the Great King Grey Wolf, still had a full 1999 such cards in his possession!

Even at a rate of one sheep per meal, that would be enough for the three wolves to eat... eat... eat for over a year!

"This is... a sheep?"

After rubbing her eyes hard, Red Wolf finally realized that what she was seeing was not a hallucination. It really was the sheep that she could occasionally eat at her mother's house when she was a child!

"Honey, where did this sheep come from?"

"Hehehe, honey, let me tell you, this time I met a really powerful and incredibly generous rich guy..." After chuckling smugly for a while, Grey Wolf leaned close to Red Wolf's ear and whispered about the Dimensional Shop. This was probably the first time, besides Sengoku, that one of the many customers White Night had met so readily told anyone about the Dimensional Shop... a wolf?
