The war in the New World finally ended with the four emperors voluntarily retreating, amidst the din of artillery fire.
Everyone in Dahai once believed that with the rise of the navy, the times would lead to a situation that pirates would be unable to contend with.
But this war made everyone realize that even in the face of despair, there are still people who are unwilling to give up and will stand up and work hard for the future.
Whitebeard's words became the headline of the newspaper.
"Because we are all pirates!" 》
It has become the most powerful slogan of this era.
"Big News" Morgans wrote personally and wrote a comment: "No era will last forever. The wheel of history repeats itself, and no matter how glorious the past is, it will be lost one day."
"But before that day comes, Whitebeard clearly knows that he is a pirate."
The last word "White Beard" limits the scope to White Beard alone. It can be said that he has a strong desire to survive!
But he was still inevitably frightened by a call from Wulaoxing and was so sick that he stayed home and did not dare to go out to see guests for three months.
Even Morgans, who has always been objective and close to the government, could not restrain himself from publishing such inspiring remarks in the World Economic Times, let alone elsewhere in the Grand Line, in the four seas, and in the Red Earth Continent.
The little sign of the "Great Pirate Age" that had just been extinguished was instantly reawakened by this surging enthusiasm and sense of mission, and became more and more intense.
Kaido lost the bet, but the pirates won back their dignity.
For this reason, the Warring States Period had to order the suspension of infiltration into the new world and make every effort to stabilize the new world base camp of "Wanguo--g5--g1".
It is worth mentioning that for the first time, those middle and lower-level navy soldiers who were crazy about meritorious service did not express any opinions on this order. They cooperated with the work honestly and began to stabilize the rear.
Therefore, Ron was very suspicious that Seng Guo had known that this would happen and took the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
We have a traitor in our midst (sure)!
But now he has no time to deal with such trivial matters.
"The assassination unit has seriously neglected its duties and needs to make corrections within a time limit!"
These are the original words from Wulaoxing, but they have gone through the Warring States process.
It is understandable that a traitor would appear within a reorganized army, but the consequences almost forced the Five Old Stars to declare war on the New World, and Ron could not escape the blame.
During this time, he was forced to travel around the world with information, personally investigating and reviewing each intelligence point.
Of course, the lowest level intelligence officers do not need to be involved, only the middle and senior intelligence officials need to be personally responsible for them.
But even so, in the grand scope of "the whole world", Ron is still busy.
Apart from Whitebeard, the second most eye-catching person in this battle is undoubtedly Akainu.
It was he who won the bet at the last moment and left the last fig leaf for the navy.
Everyone knows that it is a fig leaf, but having it and not having it are two completely different concepts for a government that wants to save face.
The transfer of the Shichibukai soon became known to everyone. Except for Kaido, it is estimated that no one would want to start an all-out war with the government, so the battle would be over at that point. It was just a matter of who retreated first and who took the blame.
Those who witnessed it saw with their own eyes that Akainu had been seriously injured before the gambling fight began. However, even so, Akainu still took over the gambling battle and showed the momentum of the navy.
In the end, he won the victory, which also gave the navy confidence!
The Five Old Stars knew this very well, and instead of blaming the navy, they praised him.
The "g11" branch, which has not been approved for a long time, has now been put on the agenda, but the issue of candidates is quite contradictory.
The land area occupied by all nations is huge!
The territory managed by a base commander is even comparable to a large island like Alabasta.
Therefore, the issue of selection is very important and is still under consideration.
At this point, Ron discovered that when the whole incident went down, he was the only one who suffered in the end!
Not only was he denied the award, but he was also ordered to make rectifications within a time limit.
_(:3∠)_
But it's not that he didn't gain anything, he just didn't gain as much as he imagined.
"Just wait and see, I will come back!"
On a raised rock at the top of the Red Continent, Ron sniffled, holding a bowl of noodles in his hand and looking at the new world.
The intelligence chief who had received the news and rushed to join the group rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looking horrified at the man squatting on the edge of the cliff eating noodles in the cold wind.
What the hell
How could the majestic Navy Soryu become like a refugee? !
…
East China Sea, Windmill Town.
"Luffy, are you sure you want to use... this ship to go to sea?"
On the shore, Maginot said worriedly.
Calling it a boat is an understatement, but its true body is just a bunch of wooden boards haphazardly put together... a basin
The rivets were exposed in a mess, and some places were not even closed, sticking to a piece of wood like a bandage to prevent water from entering.
A short and lively young man wearing a red mantle, canvas shorts and a yellow straw hat on his head actually brought the waterline to the edge of the boat!
Luffy himself certainly disagrees with this statement.
"What is this ship? This is the future... One Piece's first ship, and its name is Luffy!"
"Wow! No, water is coming in!"
Just as he was talking, a water column shot up from one part of the ship's hull. The cold touch and "crack" sound startled Luffy, and he quickly took out nails and planks with a hammer and began to knock them.
That’s right!
Because the old village chief thought it was a great shame that pirates appeared in the village, no one was willing to sell the boat to Luffy to help him go to sea.
As a last resort, Luffy had to learn how to build a ship...let's call it shipbuilding technology. By doing it himself, he could have enough food and clothing.
but…
That's not the point, okay? !
The corners of Maginot's mouth twitched slightly, and her delicate face was speechless.
Watching Luffy busy repairing the holes, after a moment of silence, Maginot smiled and said: "Luffy..."
"Okay, I get it."
Luffy interrupted her with a smile: "I have to leave quickly. The old bastard went to the palace to handle official business. He might be back soon."
"Goodbye, Maginot, I'll miss you."
"Next time we meet, I'll tell you my thrilling story on the sea!"
"Well, I believe it will be very thrilling."
"after all… "
Maginot emphasized the word "thrilling", then covered her forehead with a speechless expression, and pointed her other hand at Luffy's feet: "Didn't you realize that you have already sunk?"
Luffy:"… "
Plop!
"Wow! Help, I can't swim!"
"Just stand up, it's only half a meter deep here!"
"Ah? Really?"
(°°)!
Sighing feebly, Maginot pointed to the distance and said, "I've hidden a small boat behind the tree over there. It has a week's worth of food and water for you. Go quickly."
The dejected Luffy's eyes lit up and he looked at her with tears in his eyes.
"Sister Maginot!"
"Okay, stop being so hypocritical."
Rubbing her arms with disgust on her face, Maginot waved her hand and said impatiently.
Destiny boy Straw Hat Luffy's trip to the sea ended in such a rush. After the boat Luffy was on disappeared into the horizon, the village chief of Upslap led his people to the shore and asked breathlessly.
"Mackino, where is Luffy?"
"Let's go!"
"What? Why didn't you stop him! Do you know how dangerous it is to go out to sea and become a pirate now?"
To this question, Maginot did not answer. Instead, she looked back at the sea, her face full of tenderness, and she smiled to herself.
"Yeah, why?"
"Maybe..."
"Maybe what?"
"I don't know either."
With a bright smile on her face, Maginot hooked her hands behind her back and skipped toward the tavern like a little girl.
When she walked away, a villager asked in a low voice: "Village chief, what should we do? Do we still want to catch up with her?"
"Fuck you! Let's go!"
"Where to go?"
the villager asked in confusion.
"Go to the tavern, I'll treat you today!"
