Chapter 202 The Golden Lion Comes with the Storm

"Damn it, this storm is coming too fast, isn't it? It doesn't even give people time to react!!!"

"This is the fucking Grand Line!"

"We were so unlucky that we didn't give any signs. I've only encountered this situation once before."

"Hey, you bastards, why don't you come over and help me when you have time to chat."

I don’t know whether to call it bad luck or the navigators’ incompetence. The sudden storm caught everyone off guard. The navigators didn’t notice any signs of the storm coming, so they faced the natural storm from heaven and earth without any precautions. A mighty blow.

The storm is roaring,

The waves are roaring,

The majestic warship is as weak as fluff in the face of the natural power of storms and waves.

"What are you doing?"

"Are you so unlucky?"

Elus was sitting on the sofa, constantly adjusting the angle of his right hand according to the bumps of the battleship to prevent the coffee milk in the cup from spilling. To be honest, this was a very boring and tiring job, even if he wanted to You have to drink the coffee milk in one gulp, but it is freshly heated and very hot!

"Flan, how far is it to Whiskey Peak?"

"Probably less than half a day's flight!"

"...Half a day? It's really unlucky, we can't come later due to the damn weather."

Elvus cursed the weather.

The most annoying thing about wandering at sea is this kind of bad weather without any warning. The only people who can predict this kind of weather in advance are talented navigators like a certain orange girl. Unfortunately, such talents are really rare. There are four pirate emperors! And if one dies, the next one will be replaced immediately.

In comparison, there are really only a handful of talented navigators. The navigators under Eleus are definitely among the best in the New World, but they still cannot predict the moody climate changes of the Grand Line. .

After leaving Drum Island, Elus did not choose to return to Alabasta, but prepared to see the famous Upside Down Mountain.

Recording pointers are of no use when traveling against the Great Line. Fortunately, Elus has enough permanent pointers in his hands. There are merchants who specialize in the production and sale of permanent pointers. Except for some inaccessible places, most of the islands have permanent pointers. Pointers can be bought for money.

As one of the seven bridgeheads into the Grand Line, Whiskey Peak's permanent pointer is easy to get.

"Your Highness!"

Fran suddenly reminded her. She raised her head, her eyes seemed to want to penetrate the ceiling and look at the cloudy sky.

"I noticed."

Elus licked his lips, "I really don't know which god I bumped into before I met Blackbeard... Now I met a big shot again, my latest luck... ···It doesn’t feel bad! Hahahahahahaha!!!”

Happy laughter echoed in the bridge,

He stood up, put the cup into Fran's hand, opened the door and walked out of the bridge, and came to the bow deck.

At this moment,

A small chaos occurred among the busy sailors.

The chaos was not due to the appearance of Elus. They had followed Elus from the New World to Paradise. During the long journey, they had become accustomed to facing His Highness the Prince. They would not have been confused when they saw Elus. The reason for the confusion was It's a huge shadow that appears in the sky.

"What it is?"

"An island flying in the sky? An island in the sky?"

"Idiot, that doesn't look like an island, does it? It's a ship, a spaceship. Didn't you see there's a sail on it?"

The sailors argued endlessly, but at least no one dared to ignore the work at hand. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the battleship finally escaped from the center of the storm before being destroyed by the storm and waves, and headed for a safe place. .

The huge spaceship in the sky chose the same route and escaped from the storm.

At this moment,

With the sunshine, we can finally see the true appearance of the huge thing in the sky above. It is indeed a ship, and it looks a bit weird, but the huge sail is the best proof, and there are many people who have seen it. After seeing a big and scary monster like the terrifying three-masted sailing ship, it's not that I can't accept this... spaceship in front of me.

"Ah! I saw the skull and crossbones flag. It's a pirate... Is this a pirate ship?"

A sailor took out his telescope and looked at the spacecraft in the sky.

"The Lion and Skull Flag...it feels like where have you heard it before?"

"Hey, look, the bow of that lion boat is shining with gold. There's such a big piece of gold...it's so awesome!"

"Idiot, how could it be real gold? It's gold-plated! It's definitely gold-plated! It's not the Golden Emperor... No, wait, the lion head and skull flag... This is, no no, It shouldn’t be! Hasn’t he been arrested by the World Government a long time ago? This is impossible!”

The second officer, who was nearly fifty years old, had a rare look of fear on his face.

He didn't care to talk nonsense with these young sailors, and rushed in front of Elus, "Your Highness!! Your Highness!!"

"If you have anything to say, please tell me slowly, don't be hasty."

"No, that, that's... that's the golden lion, that ship in the sky is that golden lion!! The legendary big pirate who is as famous as One Piece and Whitebeard, the golden lion Shiki!! !!!”

"Jie hahahaha!!"

At this time, bursts of heroic laughter came from the sky.

"I didn't expect that you would recognize my identity. For so many years, I thought I had been forgotten by the sea!"

The second officer trembled. He moved his stiff neck and looked back. The rudder was stuck on one head. His long golden hair was like a lion's mane shining in the sun. He was wearing an orange and yellow striped coat. , two sharp blades flashing with cold light were exposed from under the corners of his clothes.

Coupled with the aura of looking around, the smile as if no one else was watching, the cigar in his mouth, the ability to fall from the sky...

You can't go wrong,

Really a golden lion! ! !

"Kid, was it you who used your domineering attitude to spy on me unscrupulously?" The golden lion stared at Eleus.

"Well, it's me."

Elus nodded first, then shook his head: "But it's not about seeing and hearing Haki, it's about detecting nerves. Also, that's not called voyeurism, it's just normal surveillance after discovering the pirates."

"As long as it's your boy."

The golden lion moved the two swords that replaced his feet. The sword tips collided with the deck and made a crisp sound. The body swayed and floated up. He looked down at Elvus condescendingly and said, "Peeping casually with a domineering look." This is not a good habit! Obediently hand over all your treasures to me, and I will forgive your rude behavior this time, Jie hahahaha!!!"

treasure,

This is the true purpose of the Golden Lion.

He had already seen Elus's ship, which had also escaped from the storm, early on the ship. His pirates made a professional judgment and confirmed that the owner of this ship should be very rich and have the ability to make money. A stroke is a stroke, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still the principle of flesh.

The Golden Lion takes action personally.

no way,

The IQ research he is currently engaged in is very expensive. Many research materials cannot be guaranteed to be stably supplied by looting alone. He can only spend money to trade with merchants and collect materials with the help of merchants... He This time I came to the Grand Line just to make money.

"...Is this a robbery?"

Elus crossed his arms and asked with a smile.

"Of course it's robbery! How can a pirate get along without robbing? Idiot boy, since you know that I am the Golden Lion Shiji, hurry up and bring me all the treasures!"

"You want my treasure? Hehe, no problem, but... I have a lot of treasure! Mr. Shiji, you may not be able to hold it... Fu Zhan!!!" The words fell. In an instant, Eleus turned into a sword-drawing action, and with his right hand pulled out a long sword as beautiful as the moonlight from the empty waist.

The high-density spiritual pressure of the Moonlight Sword was compressed twice, and the sharp blade that could only exist for a moment cut through the atmosphere and slashed at the golden lion.

"Chop!!!"

The golden lion's reaction is frighteningly fast.

It was just the instinct of fighting, rather than the domineering prediction of seeing and hearing, that the Golden Lion kicked out a majestic chop.

Two opposing sword lights intertwined in the void.

The long sword cry like a dragon's roar echoed between the sea and the sky. The broken and scattered sword energy easily cut through the sea nearly a kilometer long. The battleship's sail became riddled with holes, and even the deck became tattered. ······Just a simple sword attack on each other caused a staggering loss.

"...Am I dreaming? Chabababa."

The chubby owl had a ghostly expression on its face, and Kaku, Gabra, and Zefa rushed over from different locations.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Suddenly I feel so weak... pitiful."

Seeing the destruction caused by Elus and the Golden Lion, Kaku and the others' confidence suffered a heavy blow, but...Lucci's eyes were burning with fire, and how motivated he was to become stronger. A few points.

Not to mention the changes in the mood of the bystanders.

The golden lion looked at Elus, the man who dared to use his sword against him and successfully shattered his chopper... The smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "Hey, boy, tell me your name. , you are qualified to die in the hands of my golden lion Shiji."

"Death? I never thought about going to Underworld to report so early. Although I am very interested in what kind of existence Underworld is... However, my name is Soccachio Elus. At present, His occupation is prince, first in line of succession, and his employment company is the Kingdom of Exmundo in the New World... So it should be clear, right?"

Eleus waved his moonlight sword.

"Elus... I haven't heard of it, but it doesn't matter. Boy, feel honored! Even if I die, I, the Golden Lion Shiji, will remember your name!"

"Who the hell wants to be remembered by an old man who looks like a rooster?"

Elus rolled his eyes, "Hey, Mr. Shiji, stop talking nonsense and show me what the legendary pirate is capable of!" He stepped up into the air and couldn't wait to draw his sword. , the gorgeous sword light like moonlight leaped into the sky.

At that moment, it was as if a dragon was swimming out of the sea, straight into the sky, and the lion standing in the sky also let out a roar that shook the sea.

then,

The sword energies intertwined again,

The extremely fast speed left behind illusory light and shadow,

In just a few tens of seconds, less than half a minute, the battle between swords has already exceeded hundreds of rounds, with swords being drawn more than ten times in an instant...the wanton sword energy. Like heavy rain falling towards the sea below.

Hundreds of deep grooves were cut out of the sea surface, and the turbulent seawater formed whirlpools of various sizes, unintentionally creating this turbulent and disorderly sea area. Lu Qi and others standing on the boat witnessed a Unfortunately, the large fish passing by was torn apart by the chaotic whirlpool...

Fortunately, Fran took action and saved the battleship from being attracted by the whirlpool. Coupled with Elus's deliberate guidance, it continuously pulled the battlefield far away, avoiding the end of being torn into pieces by the whirlpool.

The warships did not dare to get close, lest they be affected by the aftermath of the battle, they could only wait and watch from a distance.

In the sky,

The battle has just begun,

"Boy, your swordsmanship... is very good!"

Flying past again, the golden lion praised Eleus's swordsmanship, "However, unfortunately, I am not a pure swordsman. Pirates fight by exhausting all means!" He used his free right hand. Swinging upward sharply.

"Don't you want to see what I can do? Boy, look out, this is... the Lion's Power Royal Palace Scroll!"

The majestic and endless sea water rose into the sky, manifesting the appearance of a furious lion. It opened its mouth to swallow mountains and rivers, let out a deafening roar, and rushed towards Elvus with thunderous momentum, and it was likely to devour him. Completely exhausted.

"Well... try this trick!"

Elus aimed his left hand at the water lion that was coming towards him, "Heat... additional!"

This is the ability to add fruits.

Intangible and qualityless heat was filled into the limited space. The high-temperature air expanded rapidly, squeezing other surrounding air like a piston, and immediately triggered a huge explosion, which made the atmosphere tremble, roar, and scorch. The shock wave hit the water lion flying forward.

"Crash!!"

The water lion was defeated.

The shock wave as hot as lava was like a stone hitting an egg, easily shattering the lion made of flowing water. The astonishing high temperature evaporated a large amount of water in an instant, and the white water vapor filled the air like a heavy fog. middle.

The remaining water that has not been evaporated also falls back into the ocean below.

"The power...is no good! Golden Lion!!!"

Elus taunted loudly.

A contemptuous attitude is like looking at a fool with an empty reputation.

This attitude immediately angered the Golden Lion. Being looked down upon by a junior who was decades younger than him was an outright humiliation to him. It was hateful! This damn rudder on his head had an increasing influence on him as time went by.

In the first few years, he could still endure the pain caused by the rudder and go to the navy headquarters to fight with Sengoku and Garp, barely able to control the power of Haki.

But now, he has completely lost control of his Haki. The rudder above his head does not allow him to use Haki anymore. He once competed with Roger, the overlord Haki, the armed Haki who competed with Garp, and the Haki with Whitebeard. The domineering attitude of fighting for the upper hand...all became a thing of the past.

If not,

He wouldn't have disappeared for twenty years.

Without the domineering power, it weakened him so much. With his sword skills that were not inferior to those of the great swordsmen, he could still kill those weak-willed natural ability users, but facing the real strong ones in the new world, he was still unable to do so. Too weak to do anything.

Mastering domineering is the basic condition for surviving in the new world.

Especially careerists like the Golden Lion who are unwilling to be inferior to others and would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow. This is someone like him!

"You bastard, don't look down on me! Shishiwei·Gosho Jimaki!!!" The golden lion roared with great anger, and its dazzling long hair like a lion's mane flew in the wind, and as he waved his hands, the bottom The sea became rough and agitated again.

This time,

More than a dozen water lions, even larger than before, surrounded and attacked Elvus from all directions.

"This is what it looks like. How can the legendary pirate be so weak!"

The corners of Elus's lips slightly raised, and the joy in his heart was so difficult to conceal, "This time, use a new trick...open the door with air." He held the door handle with his outstretched left hand and gently pressed it. La, an air door was opened. He stepped into it and closed the door just a second before the water lions pounced on him.

Everything was so traceless. When the air door closed, Elvus seemed to have completely disappeared from this world. At least the golden lion couldn't see him at this time, but he couldn't use his knowledge and domineering force. , can only watch the water lions collide with each other, splashing transparent water all over the sky.

Wait until the water in the sky falls back.

An air door opened silently, and Elvus walked out calmly.

Sure enough, the fruit of Menmen is 'Absolute Defense', which is equivalent to hiding in another dimensional space. It is like being on the screen, no matter whether it is a landslide or a typhoon or a tsunami, it will not harm the people in front of the screen. The audience, it’s just a matter of frightening one or two unlucky people with bad hearts to death!

"...Boy, what is your ability?"

The golden lion looked at Elvus who reappeared and was not in a hurry to take action.

He is now in a state of confusion, completely confused by the series of methods displayed by Elus. He has traveled across the sea for so many years and has encountered hundreds of ability users... ·This was the first time that he was so confused, and he couldn't figure out what kind of ability user he was.

Not the natural type, not the animal type...then it can only be the superhuman type.

However, although some superhuman ability users are indeed very confusing, such as the crazy woman Charlotte Lingling, if she hadn't said that she was a soul fruit user, he would never have thought of it. And that kind of fruit ability...

Speaking of which, there are too many Devil Fruits. He has collected more than a dozen versions of Devil Fruit illustrated books. There are hundreds of different Devil Fruits recorded, but he also knows that there must be many Devil Fruits that have not been recorded... ····

Wait, I’m going too far. Anyway, Devil Fruit is really difficult to understand!

But...well, it's nothing but, Eleus' ability is even more weird and complicated than that crazy woman Charlotte Lingling.

"How could I tell you such a thing?" Elus looked at the golden lion with an idiot's eyes, which made the golden lion particularly annoyed. But he thought about the question he just asked, It seems quite stupid. Not everyone likes to describe their own abilities clearly.

But strictly speaking, I can’t blame him for asking a stupid question.

In fact, over the years, hostile ability users often take the initiative to report their own ability names before starting a fight, and the more enthusiastic ones will even provide full commentary... Like Elus, who conceals the name of his ability. This is the first time...

Thinking about it this way, I can't say that he is stupid, but that Eleus is unsociable!

"Sir Shiji, stop talking nonsense, our battle has just begun!" Elus condensed spiritual pressure in his left palm, "False bullet!"

The crimson bullets were as fast as a stream of light, and dozens of them were like falling stars in an instant. The golden lion was forced to dodge. Without the armor and domineering body protection, the battle was so inconvenient, and he could no longer enjoy the previous experience. A pleasant feeling of head-to-head confrontation.

"Chop!"

Counterattacks followed, and the golden lion kicked out a mighty sword energy that cut through the sea of ​​clouds.

He calmed down and put aside the messy thoughts.

No matter what Devil Fruit Elus had eaten, this battle was destined to go on. Whether he knew it or not, he had to admit that the Black Prince was indeed a formidable enemy that should not be underestimated. At this time, he could not separate himself. God is thinking about something that doesn't matter.

Unable to use his Haki, he could only focus on his five senses to track and observe Elus's actions.

Unable to use Armament Haki, he must keep his distance as much as possible and use sword skills and fruit abilities to engage in mid- and long-distance battles to prevent close combat.

Being unable to use Overlord Color Haki...means that he cannot use his real special skills. He cannot defeat the enemy with one blow and can only fight a war of attrition...Tsk! It’s really unpleasant. It’s all the damn rudder’s fault for fighting a war of attrition with young people...

The magnificent sword energy stretches across the sky, and the shining moonlight shines through the void.

A new round of competition between the Golden Lion and Elus begins again!

As the two men fought fiercely, the battlefield continued to move around, with no fixed numbers in the east, west, and south. They flew around easily and effortlessly, only causing pain to the people under them, whether they were warships at sea or in the air. The spaceship... is not agile enough to change direction freely.

In order to keep up with their respective leaders, the men took turns to fight in three shifts, barely chasing the ever-moving battlefield. Time passed unconsciously, the sun set, the moon rose, the moon set and the sun rose... and so on. After six reincarnations, Fran and others on the sea saw the red earth continent appearing on the horizon.

upside down mountain,

arrive.

······

"Isn't it? This is Upside Down Mountain?"

Kalifa, who had not slept for a long time for six days and six nights, rubbed her dry eyes and stared blankly at the gateway to the Grand Line, the sign, which is also the first difficulty that new pirates need to overcome... ···This is also the first time for her to meet.

He was born and raised in the paradise, and later received training from CP9. When he officially went on a mission, he always stayed in the paradise.

"...Six days and six nights...it took a long detour. If I had followed the permanent pointer, I would have arrived a long time ago." Kaku was looking at the twinkling lights and shadows in the sky with the telescope in his hand. He also He has never rested. As a swordsman who also uses a sword, if he misses the battle between the golden lion and the black prince, he will definitely strangle himself to death with his own hands.

For six days and six nights, he didn't eat, drink, or defecate. He just stood on the deck with a telescope in hand, observing this rare battle in life.

Speaking of which, Kaku is not the only one who maintains a similar posture on the deck. The same is true for Iska. She is also a good hand with a sword. After assisting Fran with Farug in the Water City to complete the mission, she has been following Ai. Elus's side, but Fran, as a personal maid, took over all the work around Elus.

And Iska is only good at fighting. She and Farug usually stay in the cabin to practice hard, or they just breathe fresh air on the deck... and rarely appear next to Elus, so There aren't many opportunities to show up.

but,

When Elus and the Golden Lion started a battle with no end in sight, it was naturally impossible to continue to practice in the cabin. Opportunities like this to observe the battle between real top masters were rare. , and it is said that both of them are good at swordsmanship.

"Flan, what should we do next? Do you want to continue to follow me?"

Iska asked.

He remained motionless while speaking, his eyes never blinking as long as he could, for fear of missing the moment of swinging the sword.

"No, just stop here at Upside Down Mountain... It's too troublesome to go backwards to Upside Down Mountain, and we don't know which sea the battlefield will move to next..." Fran issued the order, obviously deciding Let the battleship dock at the Twin Capes under the Upside Down Mountain.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Upside Down Mountain connects the four seas and the Grand Line. From here, you can go to any ocean. If you fly high enough, it is not impossible to go straight to the new world... To the east of Upside Down Mountain is paradise, and to the west is the new world.

Perhaps for ordinary people, forcing themselves to climb Upside Down Mountain and directly enter the new world is just asking for death.

But now those two people in the sky can fly. Who knows where they will fight all the way, so the best choice at this time is to stop. Their battleships can't fly. It is already practical to chase them all the way here. It’s not easy.

On the other hand, the spaceship in the sky will most likely continue to catch up.

"Is it okay? Your Highness alone?"

Farug was also paying attention to the battle in the sky. Of course, he was not as attentive as Iska and Kaku. He turned his head and looked at Fran, not concealing his worry. Although the six days and six nights of battle against His Highness Elus He didn't look very tired, he still looked at ease.

It's just that in battles, no one is sure what the outcome will be until the last minute. The Golden Lion is one of the three legendary pirates as famous as One Piece and Whitebeard. Who would believe that he doesn't have a trump card?

"I'll follow."

Fran replied, and a pair of wings wrapped with illusory golden-red flames quietly spread out from behind her.

"Clarisse, Iska, Farug, after I leave, you will be in charge of the affairs on the ship for the time being."

"Sister Fran, please rest assured, I will not let you down."

Clarisse, who was dressed as a maid, said seriously.

"What a pity, I really want to keep following... Fran, just go ahead, I will keep an eye on you." Iska also answered.

Farug shrugged and said nothing.

Clarisse and Iska have both spoken, and there is a high probability that there is nothing for him to worry about. In the following days... his only job is probably to compete with Lu Qi and the others, and to feed these guys. After all, they are all subordinates favored by His Highness.

With everyone's answers, Fran nodded slightly, flapped her wings slightly, and the maid lady flew into the sky, chasing the battlefield in the clouds.

······

twin capes,

The lighthouse keeper Koulokas did not go to his holiday cabin in the belly of the whale to rest today because there was something wrong with the lighthouse's lens system. He was repairing it so that if the lighthouse could not light up at night to dispel the dark light, it would be him. of dereliction of duty.

The dedicated Kurokas didn't want to mess up this leisurely job.

Not to mention anything else, just to take care of the island whale Rabu, he can't leave here...

"What the hell? Where did the god of plague come from to cause trouble in the sky?"

The lens system has not been repaired yet, but Kurokas noticed the two powerful auras approaching in the sky. One of them was vaguely familiar... It felt like he had seen it somewhere before. He looked at it from the tool box next to him. He took out a monocular telescope and looked at the sky.

There is nothing we can do about it. I have been retired for almost 20 years, and I can judge the identity of a person just by seeing, smelling, smelling, smelling, and smelling... , which is a bit creepy. Nine times out of ten, he is the enemy.

"Damn it, that bastard Shiji is still alive!"

The old man breathed out fragrance.

We can’t blame him for being uncivilized in his language. The main thing is that this guy Golden Lion is a real bastard. He has forced the Roger Pirates into dire straits several times. If there is a vote for the most hated enemy in the pirate group, this bastard Golden Lion will definitely be able to vote. Elected with a high vote.

"I thought I had died in that corner a long time ago, and yet I am still alive and kicking... What a disaster! A disaster!"

Mr. Koulokas took a second look and put away the telescope. There was nothing interesting to see. The golden lion was still alive... Unfortunately, he still couldn't withstand the erosion of time. He actually had a fight with a young man. Once again, if it were the golden lion from before...

Before the Battle of At Wall, the Golden Lion without a rudder on its head was really fierce. Leading a group of ragtag flying pirates, they were able to push the Roger Pirates into desperate situations several times. Like a mad dog, it bites people everywhere in the new world.

Whitebeard, Marine... There is no golden lion that dare not bite. Anyone who confronts him will be beaten to the face. Roger is not the only one who has suffered in front of the Sky Pirates. Whitebeard and Marine There was no shortage of hardships either.

rule the world,

The Golden Lion dared to use this thing as a slogan back then, not because he drank too much and went crazy, but because he really had the confidence.

"...Golden Lion, you bastard, go to hell!"

Mr. Kurokas sent his cordial blessings to his former enemy, and then continued to repair the lens system.

Time can heal all pain. Twenty years ago, even if he couldn't defeat the bastard Golden Lion, he would still spit a few mouthfuls of saliva into the sea to strengthen his comrades in the battle, but now... ····When you are over 70 years old, you don’t have to worry about squeezing out saliva. A blessing is enough.

As for the warships coming from the sea and moving towards the Twin Capes,

Kurokas was too lazy to pay attention. He was just a lighthouse keeper now. Repairing the lens system was his real job, and the rest... had nothing to do with him.

······

East China Sea.

Rogue Town.

The most crowded square, in front of the simple execution platform standing in the center of the square, there are a large number of tourists taking photos and checking in. The "click-click" sound of the phone and camera forms a long-lasting melody. Luo, wearing a black hooded windbreaker, Bin stood in the crowd, looking up at the execution platform that had been stained with the blood of the Pirate King.

"Robin, what do you think?"

"...It's very ordinary, and what is described in those memoirs is almost...like two different things!"

"Is that so? A memoir? There were many people who witnessed the death of the Pirate King back then! Do I want to write a memoir in the future...just kidding."

"Mr. Long, could it be said that you also... experienced it firsthand?"

Robin looked at the dragon standing next to him in surprise.

"Yes, I witnessed [One Piece] Gol D. Roger's execution with my own eyes. He left those famous last words before his death, ushering in a new era..."

"...Do you want my treasure? If you want it, I can give it all to you. Go find it! I put all the treasures there..." Robin recited this sentence, which is called These are the oracular last words of the pirates.

"The Pirate King... this is where he left these words!"

Looking at the execution platform in front of me again, it is still ordinary and nothing surprising. It is like the execution platform found in many towns. However, the one in front of me has become special because it has been stained with the blood of the Pirate King. In essence, it is not no difference.

"However, it is really unimaginable that the Pirate King actually surrendered. If you hadn't said this, Mr. Long, I would have found it hard to believe it."

"About this, I was also in disbelief at first, but... it is indeed true. My father told me personally that the Pirate King was not captured by the navy as the newspaper said. He found the navy and took the initiative. Surrender..."

At this moment, a small commotion broke out in the square.

A group of gun-wielding naval soldiers rushed over chasing a group of guys in weird costumes. The nearby crowd split up with a roar. Someone recognized the identity of those being chased. They were a pirate group with a small reputation in the East China Sea. However, That is to say, the captain with the highest bounty is only 8 million berries at a moderate level of fame.

Of course, this is already the standard in the East China Sea.

It seemed that he was preparing to go to the Grand Line, but before he left Rogue Town, he was targeted by the navy. Looking at the current situation, this dream of entering the Grand Line may be scrapped. The naval colonel riding a three-wheeled motorcycle Appeared.

"It's the White Hunter! Colonel Smoker, so handsome!"

"Take a picture quickly, take a picture quickly, hey, uncle, don't squeeze in! We are taking pictures!"

The popular naval captain lived up to the audience's expectations. The white smoke filled the air and easily captured all the members of the pirate group alive. Seeing the pirates being handcuffed one by one by the navy soldiers, the audience cheered warmly. Voice.

"...A natural ability user?"

Robin frowned slightly as he watched Smoker show off his skills.

Without mastering Armament Haki, she really has no chance of winning if she meets a natural ability user. Guys like Crocodile also have the weakness of being materialized when encountering 'water', but 'smoke' does not seem to have such a weakness.

"Robin, let's go! The White Hunter is not something you can deal with now."

"Armed Haki... It's too difficult!"

Robin sighed sadly.

After following the Revolutionary Army for such a long time, Robin also sought advice on how to practice Armed Color Haki. Unfortunately, her physical fitness has not yet reached the entry level to practice Armed Color Haki, so she can only feel helpless.

"There is no need for one person to take care of everything. Everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at. If you can't do it yourself, then find a partner who can do it for you..."

"Monkey D. Luffy, Mr. Dragon, do you think your child will be a partner who can help me?"

After leaving the square, the two walked along the street and talked.

"Luffy...he shouldn't disappoint you, and this kind of thing is just wishful thinking on my part. Robin, if you hate being a pirate, you can continue to stay in the Revolutionary Army. I won't force you to do so." Don’t worry about doing things you don’t like.” Long said solemnly.

"...Mr. Long, that's not what I meant. I just...according to my understanding, you haven't spent much time with your child, right? Why do you think..." Can he help me?"

"Luffy and I rarely meet. To put it bluntly... Even if we do meet, he may not recognize me. However, Luffy was raised by his father, and his father's education may be It’s rude, but...Luffy will definitely not grow crooked, and although I rarely see Luffy in person, I regularly contact my friends to ask about Luffy’s situation!”

When talking about his only child, Long's expression became softer rarely, losing the sharpness and strength of the past.

"Anyway, this is just my personal idea. The specific choice is up to you... It feels a bit weird to say this." Long thought about it for a moment and laughed.
