June, 1525, Haiyuan calendar.
According to newspaper reports, Red Hair and Luffy had a great battle on an unknown uninhabited island, and Luffy narrowly won in the end.
At this point, Luffy officially earned the title of "Adventure King" and became the second greatest world legend after Vivian.
As for why it is "Adventure King" instead of "Pirate King", it is because of Vivian.
Because Vivian had said before that adventurer was a more suitable title for Luffy and his crew than pirates, Gordon and Fitzgerald kept it in mind, and naturally replaced the three words in the report when they published the newspaper.
Because of this, Luffy, who got the newspaper and read the news, felt depressed for a while.
After all, he had been shouting that he was going to be the Pirate King since he set sail. Now that his title had suddenly changed, it was really hard for him to accept.
But Vivian didn't have time to care about this guy's feelings right now.
At this moment, he was following the large army led by Mori to rob the treasury of the 64 kingdoms.
...
New World, Taro Kingdom.
According to rumors, this seems to be the headquarters of the Sixty-Four Nation Alliance, and the leader hidden behind the scenes should live in this place.
Of course, these are all speculations by civilians outside. No one knows who initiated all this, except... Vivian and his group.
"Hey, did you find anything?"
Below the ground, Vivian was smoking a cigar. In front of him were the busy Mori and a group of Revolutionary Army members. Behind him were Smoker, Tashigi, and a number of naval soldiers.
Yes, after a year, Vivian and Dashigi finally met again.
Thinking back to when he had just joined the navy, he was once targeted by local naval colleagues at the Rogue Town base because of Dashiqi. Now, times have changed and he has become the commander-in-chief of the new government. Thinking back to the past days, it really makes one feel a little sad.
Similarly, compared to the way she got along with Vivian at the beginning, Tashigi now doesn't even dare to talk to Vivian, let alone make eye contact with Vivian.
I don’t know if it’s because I felt unfamiliar with Vivian, but in any case, the atmosphere was really awkward when the two of them were in the same space.
Of course, Smoker couldn't see it.
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, why did you bring her here?" Vivian pointed at Dashigi behind Smoker.
Smoker heard this and said, "Didn't you ask me to bring some trustworthy and strong subordinates? Tashigi is one of them."
He thought, not only did Dashigi hold the rank of colonel, his sword skills had also reached the level of a swordsman. Would there be any problem in bringing such a subordinate with him when he went out on a mission
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say, wasn't she transferred back to the East China Sea? Why is she back again?"
Do you remember Papanov in the town of Rogge
Ever since Smoker took the initiative to lead the team to hunt Luffy into the Grand Line three years ago, Papanov naturally took on the position of leader of the Rogue Town base. Three years have passed in a flash, and without the absolute justice of Smoker, life has been going well.
Until two months ago, not only the collapsed area of the Red Earth Continent, but even the Upside-Down Mountain was well guarded by Couto and others. The pirates from all over the world were unable to enter the Grand Line, so they could only stay in their own waters, quietly waiting for an opportunity.
Look, most of the pirates in the East China Sea have gathered in Rogue Town.
There is no way, because this place is close to the Red Earth Continent and is prosperous and rich in resources.
If there hadn't been a naval branch in the town, this place would have been looted by pirates long ago, becoming an ownerless land where pirates could live.
But even so, Rogue Town, which was guarded by the navy, still suffered repeated attacks from pirates.
Without Smoker and Tashigi, let alone Vivian and Fujitora, and with Garp having long since returned to the Grand Line from the East China Sea, Papanov, without any backing, was at a loss what to do. His own strength was mediocre, and he couldn't even beat an ordinary sergeant in the headquarters. How could he dare to take action when faced with such a situation
So, not long after the pirates invaded the town, seeing that his soldiers seemed unable to resist, he was the first to board a boat and slip away from the dock behind the town.
After the headquarters learned about this, they sent out support and wiped out the pirates in Rogue Town one by one. Among these headquarters navy troops was Tashigi.
Vivian remembered it clearly. At that time, his assistant brought Donghai's information and asked him to review the new base chief of Rogue Town. He took a quick glance and his eyes fell directly on Dashiqi's profile photo, so he directly let this girl go to Donghai to be the base chief. Why is she suddenly back now
In this regard, Smoker explained: "Now that our new government is facing a war, we naturally need to summon back the high-end combat forces scattered across the four seas. This will greatly increase our chances of winning and reduce casualties, right?"
Vivian: “…”
"Well, what you said makes sense."
Blowing out a puff of smoke, Vivian couldn't find any reason to refute for a moment.
"Hey, it would be great if we could get the people of these kingdoms to evacuate ahead of time. Then, we can directly launch Pluto to sink the island."
Mori, who was digging a hole, suddenly turned around and said something.
"You wish." Vivian rolled her eyes.
Even if he could use Pluto's cannon to bombard it, he might not be willing to do so. There are not many lands in One Piece. If they were all bombed, how would humans survive in the future
All running to the deep sea to build an underwater kingdom
Um..
It seems that it is not impossible.
Just chatting.
clang!
With a crisp sound, Mori immediately stopped digging.
"What's wrong?" Smoker asked.
"Have we dug to the bottom?" Vivian took two steps forward.
"Sorry, we dug up metal mines." Mori reached out and scratched the back of his head.
With the ability of his fruit, unless it is an extremely hard special material, things like stone and steel are almost like tofu in front of him and have no effect on him.
"Metal mines?"
Hearing this, Vivian quickly came forward.
"This ore... seems to be some kind of rare metal?" Vivian was a little surprised. She didn't expect that there would be such a good thing under the ground of the Taro Kingdom.
But right now, that doesn't seem to be the point.
"Should we be there now?"
"We're here." Morrie nodded.
"Then let's split into two groups from here."
