New world, unknown waters.
A huge pirate ship sailed on the sea. The rough shape, simple colors and the eight-character ox-horned pirate flag declared the pirate ship's ownership.
"Lord Jhin, the Redfors has been spotted ahead!"
"oh?"
Standing on the deck, wearing black clothes, a pair of black feather wings on his back, and black gloves, without leaving an inch of skin exposed, the Beast Pirates' signature sign, "Fire Calamity" Jhin silently raised his head.
"What is he doing here? This is not his red-haired territory."
"I don't know, but the other party has no intention of starting a war."
The pirate quickly replied: "They are parked on the sea, and 'Red-haired' Shanks seems to be waiting for us to pass by."
"Then go over and have a look! How dare a little brat block the way of our beasts?!"
"yes!"
Wow!
The pirate ship suddenly accelerated and broke through the white waves on the sea. A few minutes later, two large ships, one on the left and one on the right, slowly approached.
Jhin came to the side of the deck, separated from the guardrail and the sea water, crossed his arms and looked forward.
"Redhead, what do you want to do?!"
In terms of strength, Jhin knew that he was not necessarily the red-haired opponent.
There is no simple guy who can secure the throne of the Four Emperors among the millions of pirates in the New World. He can despise his opponents strategically, but he must pay attention to them tactically.
"I… "
Hearing this, Shanks, who was sitting on the guardrail, put down the wine gourd with one hand and turned to look in the direction they came from.
"Is it just you? Yan Disaster... Kaido didn't come? Didn't Plague come either?"
"What's the meaning?"
Jin frowned, not knowing what was going on.
"I mean you guys are so brave... Hiccup!"
Shanks took a sip of wine and let out a long burp.
"Ahead is Big Mom's original territory of Totland, which is now the Navy's G11 branch... You alone dare to appear here?"
"What a joke!!"
In response, Jhin roared angrily, and a group of pirates behind him set up their weapons and aimed at Shanks.
Not to be outdone, the crew of the Redfors, led by Jesus, who had a broken arm, pushed out the cannon and aimed it at the opponent's ship, face to face.
"I heard that you won the battle with Canglong and stole the pure gold... This seems to make you feel invincible, right?!"
"Pure gold...?"
An inexplicable smile appeared on Shanks' lips and he shook his head. He looked at the muskets pointed at him and said calmly: "Calm down, I'm not here to fight."
"I just heard about your sightings and came here to see what Kaido was planning to do."
"But since Kaido is not here, I guess you can't make any big noise just by yourself."
"Bye!"
After saying that, Shanks turned around and landed on the ground, waving his hands and preparing to leave.
"you wanna die!"
boom!
A ball of dazzling and scorching flames suddenly rose from Jhin's body. He slowly pulled out his nodachi. As the blade wrapped around the flames, an astonishing heat wave erupted, causing the temperature to rise rapidly.
However, Shanks was unmoved by this scene. He tilted his head and said, "I mean, if you have the skills to attack me, you might as well get rid of those tails behind you first."
"Stupidity must have a limit."
"What?!"
Jhin's eyes widened for a moment and he looked back.
Sure enough, the moment he looked back, a dark thing swished back into the water hundreds of meters away.
"Don't even think about running away!"
Jhin's eyes widened, he turned around with his sword and struck it down with one strike.
Cremation, burning mountains and boiling seas!
Uh-huh!
The sword light roared out, accompanied by the crackling and grunting sounds of burning flames. A large amount of white smoke and water vapor instantly rose from the sea wherever it went. The orange fire illuminated the sea, turning the world into a flaming hell.
It's obviously not a natural type, but the flames that burst out from this sword are shockingly powerful!
Bang... bang!
The orange flames turned into a long line, covering a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, and submerged into the sea water.
A mushroom cloud was suddenly exploded on the sea surface, and tons of seawater turned into white waves and splashed away. Even if they were far away, people could feel the scorching heat wave.
However…
"Tch, did they escape?!"
Jhin stared at the sea carefully, waiting for the white smoke to dissipate, but he could not see a trace of wreckage. This proved that the opponent's position was deeper than he imagined, and neither the explosion nor the flying slash could reach that depth.
After all, it is not a natural type. Although its power cannot be underestimated, in terms of attack range, Jin is inevitably weaker than a normal burning fruit.
Five to six hundred meters is already his limit, and he needs to determine his position, but he is hiding under the water and wants to change positions easily.
"These are just spies, Yan Calamity."
Seeing this scene, Shanks said with steady eyes: "Your traces have been discovered by the navy, so you can take care of yourself."
After that, the Redfors no longer stopped, pulled up the sails, and sailed into the distance.
"Sir, should we..."
A member of the Beast Pirates dressed as a Viking approached cautiously and asked.
"No need!"
In response, Jin sheathed his sword and the flames on his body gradually extinguished.
He glanced at the Redfors, which was gradually moving away from here, and then turned to look in the direction of his and others' goals: "Since the navy has discovered it, let's attack it openly!"
"Notify everyone and be ready for battle at all times!"
"yes!"
…
New World, Dressrosa, Royal Palace.
Returning to his room, Ron rubbed his numb facial muscles and frowned silently.
It's a physically demanding job trying to maintain a calm appearance.
"I didn't expect it to be like this."
Even though he was a Celestial Dragon, Doflamingo didn't know everything. He just discovered certain things through some coincidences and accidents.
In fact, Ron deeply suspected that the only one who really knew everything was Im among the flowers.
What Doflamingo knows is not related to the century-old history. He just knows what the plan the government has been completing for 800 years is. Indeed, as he said, it is a plan that can subvert the world and pull the Celestial Dragons off the "god" altar. s things.
Deep among the flowers in the holy land, there is an unknown "national treasure".
I couldn't see what exactly it was because the curtain was covering it, but the words written on the red curtain outside clearly stated it.
"This thing belongs to the God of All Spirits, and it must be returned!"
"We mortals, please keep this in mind to avoid disaster!"
Surrounding the words are the emblems of each of the twenty royal families who created the world government.
This is a flag.
A flag he had never seen or heard of!
Very funny, isn't it
The Celestial Dragons who claim to be "descendants of the Creation God" actually admitted on this flag that they were "mortal"
Of course they are human, there is no doubt about that.
But this is a complete denial of their identity as "descendants of God"! Or the denial from one’s own people!
This makes people a little confused.
What's more shocking to Doflamingo is that since the Celestial Dragons are "mortals", who is the "god of all spirits" referred to here
Is he really a "god"
Then what kind of god is he/she/it
What is the so-called return thing
Before he could find any more clues, a voice came from outside. He knew that such top secrets were not something he could know, so he quickly left through the secret passage.
At that time, Doflamingo was just a kid of a few years old. This matter existed in his mind for a few days, and then it went away.
What happened next is well known...
His father, Ancient Sage Huo Ming, seemed unable to accept everything he knew, and chose to give up his identity as a Celestial Dragon and demoted himself to a commoner, which led to the monster "Tian Yaksha".
When Doflamingo was sorting out the remaining belongings at home, he accidentally discovered the box left by the ancient saint Huo Ming. It was a treasure that the man refused to leave behind even after abandoning everything.
After opening it, Doflamingo discovered that it was a last message.
After seeing the hatred of ordinary people towards the Tianlong people, Huo Minggu foresaw his own death and finally chose to keep the secret.
Through the narration in his last words, the previously dusty memories gradually awakened.
Only then did he know why his father gave up his life as a Celestial Dragon. This was a secret that only every generation of Clan Leaders of the Celestial Dragon family was qualified to know, and he officially mentioned the name of the plan...
Its name is: God Returns!
