In a blink of an eye, more than half a year later.
Haiyuan calendar year 1526.
Because the pirates in all major seas were mostly wiped out under the vigorous crackdown of the new government, and groups like the Straw Hat Pirates and the Three Emperors-level groups voluntarily abandoned the title of "pirates" and called themselves adventure groups, the Great Pirate Era officially came to an end at this moment.
"Now there are only a large number of member countries left that we need to sort out."
“Hiss~~Hoo!”
Standing on the top of the tallest building on Korsa Island, holding a cigar in his mouth, looking at the big screen in the square below, which was broadcasting live scenes of islands under development and construction around the world, Vivian couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and her mood seemed very good.
"Yes, it has been a long time since you killed Zero and officially took over the 64 non-member countries."
The person standing behind Vivian and speaking was naturally Smoker.
For more than half a year, Smoker has almost always been active on the front line, following Vivian around and helping her deal with all matters big and small.
Vivian, who saw all this, couldn't help but come up with the idea of passing the position to Smoker immediately after he had had enough of it for a while.
Of course, it’s not right now.
"By the way, are the royal nobles of the member states still resisting the reform system we have notified?"
"Um."
Smoker nodded. "Led by the Kingdom of Kolben, a total of more than 30 countries have shown extremely strong resistance to our reform system. I am afraid that if this continues...it may cause war again."
"War is inevitable." Vivian said, "But you don't have to worry too much. Although there may be a lot of casualties in the short term, from a long-term perspective, everything we do now is extremely worthwhile."
Without the bravery and heroic deeds of the revolutionary martyrs, how could there be stability and prosperity for future generations
But now, it is their turn to play the role of martyrs.
"Pass the order down and give them another week to adapt. If they still refuse to accept the reforms after a week, I will personally lead the troops to the island to greet them."
"clear."
Smoker saluted.
It can be seen that although he is very familiar with Vivian and can be regarded as Vivian's elder, he also respects her very much.
After all, he had seen Vivian's concern for the people and all the efforts she had made to build a harmonious world over the past six months.
"By the way, the sea train project from Korsa Island to Kensanmia Island has been completely completed. Do you want to take some time to go there and take a look?"
"Oh? It's done already?"
Vivian was a little surprised when she heard this.
He wondered, the construction of that thing seemed to have just started three or four months ago, how come it was completed in such a short time
"Yes. Because the Straw Hat Pirates... ahem, Franky from the Straw Hat Adventure Group volunteered to participate, which made our project progress three to four times faster."
"Frankie?"
That guy wants to fulfill his master's last wish, so he wants to build a sea train that can reach every place in the world, right
It is a very grand and meaningful dream.
"What about the other members of the Straw Hat Adventure Group? Have you paid attention to their movements?" Vivian asked.
“Well, there really is one.”
Although Vivian had not instructed him, Smoker was worried that the existence of the Three Emperors would still pose a threat to the new government, so he had the headquarters' intelligence personnel keep a close eye on the movements of the three adventure groups.
"It seems that because they found One Piece and became pirates... ahem, became the King of Adventure, the Straw Hat Pirates are now almost in a semi-disbanded state. Blackfoot Sanji returned to the East China Sea and opened a restaurant on the sea, forming a competitive relationship with his master Redfoot Zeff..."
"It's funny to say that, the master and his apprentice found a chain to tie the two boats together, and sailed them side by side on the sea every day, so that the guests who came to eat could choose for themselves, so as to compete for the sales of the day."
"Compared to sales?" Vivian laughed when she heard that.
Sanji has indeed returned to the East Sea to open a shop. I wonder if he has found allblue during this time, and whether he has chased the goddess he has been dreaming of..
Oh, by the way, Brin, the daughter of the BIG MOM family, should be eighteen years old this year, right
I wonder if the little girl chased Sanji to the East China Sea
"There are also Nami and Robin from the Straw Hat Pirates. The former also returned to her hometown and used the money she earned from her adventures over the years to purchase dozens of mountain villages around Cocoa Village, forming a large-scale orange grove. The latter took Raftel as a starting point and began to travel around the world, seemingly wanting to explore ancient ruins around the world." Smoker continued.
Vivian nodded when he heard this, thinking that these two women were not unexpected to him.
It was just that he had finally traveled through time, but he didn't have too many interactions with the two main female characters in the original novel, which made him feel a little regretful.
"Sniper King Usopp opened a shooting range in the Grand Line three months ago. He has been staying there for some time to teach some children how to use slingshots and guns. However, he seemed to have received a letter from the East China Sea a week ago. He has now boarded a ship and returned to his hometown."
"A letter from the East Sea?"
Then it must have been sent by Kaya from Xiluobu Village, right
I don't know if Usopp is interested in that beautiful and gentle lady.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly reacted.
If it was really boring, why would he travel thousands of miles back to the East China Sea as soon as he received the letter
"There is also a pet Chopper. He is also on the island where Usopp opened the shooting range. He opened a clinic nearby and specializes in treating local civilians."
"Pet Chopper..."
In the end, is Chopper still just a pet in the Straw Hat Pirates
He couldn't help but shook his head in amusement.
Brook started a concert tour around the world with the title of "Soul King", and after defeating Hawkeye, Zoro traveled around the New World to continue challenging swordsmen, in order to make full preparations for challenging Vivian in the future.
Only very peaceful..
This man who was supposed to be a member of the Straw Hat Adventure Group, slept forever in the dark soil.
"Calculating it, in a few days, it should be Jinbe's death anniversary, right?"
Vivian blew out another puff of smoke and said with a nostalgic expression, "It's time to pay respect to his grave."
