In the year 1517 of the Haiyuan calendar, ten years had passed since Rocks and Whitebeard's meeting.
After that encounter, the Whitebeard Pirates completely withdrew from the New World and headed for the first half of the Grand Line and adventures throughout the four seas.
After the Whitebeard Pirates completely withdrew from the New World, the Rocks Pirates launched a fierce attack on all the pirates in the New World.
Countless pirates became history under the attack of the Rocks Pirates.
There were also many pirates who were afraid of the Rocks Pirates and chose to surrender, and many pirates chose to withdraw from the New World and head to the first half of the Grand Line and the Four Seas.
After those pirates withdrew from the New World, the first half of the Grand Line and the Four Seas became chaotic.
They wantonly started wars in the first half of the Grand Line and in all corners of the world, causing misery for the people of all countries.
The entire navy was exhausted as a result.
After two years of the Time War, the Rocks Pirates completely controlled all the seas except the Wano Country.
During these two years, there were constant frictions between the Rocks Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.
Under the leadership of Barrett, the Rocks Pirates launched wars against the Beasts Pirates in Wano Country several times. However, relying on the huge natural defenses of Wano Country, the Rocks Pirates returned empty-handed after several attacks.
After several years of wrangling, the Rocks Pirates finally gave up attacking the Beasts Pirates and reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement.
The Beasts Pirates and the Rocks Pirates have completely become allied pirate groups.
During these ten years, the Rocks Pirates and the Beasts Pirates have grown rapidly and have become powerful enough to compete with the World Government.
In a certain sea area in the new world, a huge ship is sailing leisurely on the sea.
"Hey Ares, where are we going next?"
On the boat, a girl with white hair with blue ends, a pair of red horns on her head, a white kimono on the upper body, a red hakama on the lower body, and wooden clogs on her feet asked Ares with a smile on her face.
The girl's name is Yamato, and she is the daughter of Kaido, the admiral of the Beasts Pirates.
The two met when Rocks took Ares to Wano Country.
The two had a fight over some food at a banquet, but eventually they became good friends.
When Ares went out to sea, he invited Yamato to join him as a partner.
"Tsk, didn't I tell you that this young master's voyage has no destination. Wherever I drift to, that's where I'll be."
Ares scratched his ear and said to Yamato in annoyance.
The girl had been chattering in his ear for most of the day.
"Yamato, come here quickly, I recently discovered a great skin care product."
Louise greeted Yamato happily, holding a box of beautifully packaged skin care products in her hand.
"Oh, really? Hahaha, let me see it!"
When Yamato heard Louis' words, he ran over excitedly.
Although she knows nothing about skin care products, it does not stop her from being happy.
"Humph, what two idiots."
Perona was floating in the air, holding a hideous rag doll and looking at the two of them with contempt.
"Hey, Perona, stop being so awkward. If you want to be with them, just go openly."
Spike said sarcastically while fishing.
"Asshole! Negative ghost!"
As if Spike had hit upon her thoughts, Perona, infuriated and embarrassed, directly attacked him with the Negative Ghost.
Spike, whose body was penetrated by the negative ghost, lay on the ground with a melancholy look on his face and shed sad tears.
"Hey! Look! The newcomer in the navy has killed another group of pirates with a bounty of over 200 million!"
"Damn it! Why is there so little coverage of me even though I'm also a super newcomer?"
A man wearing a cowboy hat with fur trimmings, with golden curly hair covering his shoulders, handsome, elegant, and dressed like an aristocrat, with a white cape behind him, a white shirt on his upper body, dark blue 7-point pants on his lower body, and brown Martin boots on his feet. Cavendish, who was wearing the famous sword "Durandel" on his waist, walked over with a newspaper in his hand, looking unhappy.
Cavendish was someone Ares met during a journey. At night, he transformed into Rommel's sickle-weasel and attacked Ares who was wandering around. As a result, he was severely beaten. Later, when Ares discovered the interesting thing about him, which was that he had a dual personality, he directly pulled him onto his boat.
Ares took the newspaper from Cavendish and started to handcuff it.
"Let's go, that Fire Fist Ace has really done a lot of great things recently. In just one year, he has become a colonel in the Marine Headquarters."
Rocks said with a smile as he looked at the news about Fire Fist Ace in the newspaper.
Fire Fist Ace is a super rookie who just joined the navy in the past year.
I heard that he is the grandson of the navy hero Iron Fist Garp, so he received a lot of attention right after joining the navy.
And he lived up to everyone's expectations. With his strong physical skills, he quickly stood out from the Naval Academy and became another proud disciple of Zefa.
Moreover, during a pursuit of pirates, he ate the Natural-type Flame-Flame Fruit, which further increased his strength and he soon became the leader of the new generation of the navy.
During this year, Ace of the Fire Fist continued to capture pirates, many of whom had bounties exceeding 100 million. As a result, his position rose rapidly, and in just one year, he became a colonel in the Marine Headquarters.
Everyone on the sea believed that he would definitely become an admiral of the Navy Headquarters in the future.
In addition to Fire Fist Ace, his two brothers who joined the navy were also named Sabo and Monkey D. Luffy.
The three of them almost became the iron triangle of the new generation of the navy.
Looking at the report about Fire Fist Ace, Ares laughed excitedly.
"Hey, guys, let's go! We can't lose to those navy guys!"
"Urouge, go to the nearest pirate with a bounty of over 200 million. I'm going to kill him!"
Urouge, who was at the helm, responded with a laugh, then quickly turned the rudder and rushed towards the pirates closest to them.
"Hahaha! Ares, you wanna fight? Count me in!"
When Yamato heard that Ares was going to cause trouble for other pirates, he shouted excitedly and threw himself on Ares' back.
"Yamato, you bastard, keep poking me with your horns!"
"Tsk, those two idiots are really embarrassing."
In the distance, a woman with long black hair, a pair of golden snake-shaped earrings, a tall, slender and plump figure, and an extremely beautiful face snorted and said disdainfully.
The girl's name is Boa Hancock. She was brought back from human traffickers by Rocks several years ago and eventually joined Ares' pirate group. She also ate the Thunder Fruit given to her by Rocks.
Under Rocks' training, her strength is almost as strong as that of the pirate group's cadres.
"Okay, sister, is this Ares' personality? Hehe, you should be used to it by now."
"That's right, and you have been asked by Mr. Rocks to treat Ares well."
"Hmph, you're so long-winded!"
