Arceus’ Pirate Journey

"D? Roger is actually D? Hahaha, this is really interesting news."

Barrett left here after leaving these words, and Buena Festa also understood who Barrett was talking about.

"The World Government is really afraid of this letter. Even Roger's name is fake."

The name Gol D. Roger is only heard by a few people. Even though Buena Festa and Roger were pirates of the same era, his understanding of Roger has always been that of Gol D. Roger. Roger didn't know the truth from Barrett until today.

"But your performance is different from what you said."

At this time, Barrett had left and did not hear Buena Festa's soliloquy. Although Barrett never admitted it, one thing was true. Roger was very important to him. special.

There are very few people who can defeat him. He will board Roger's pirate group. It is because Roger defeated him that he boarded the ship as a challenger.

He wants to defeat Roger and become the strongest in the world.

But Roger became terminally ill that year, which had a big impact on Barrett.

This incident made Barrett very anxious. Although Roger's illness did not reduce his strength, it greatly affected Roger's durability and he was unable to fight continuously like those physical monsters.

During that time, Roger and Whitebeard fought in a "friendly battle" mode of half a day and half a day off.

During this period of time, Barrett gradually developed the awareness that "he must protect his companions." Because he had to consider the situation of his companions, his fighting began to be less decisive.

In the end, he thought that he had become weaker, and at the same time he began to doubt Roger's strength. After the last battle with Roger, he quit the Roger Pirates and started his own voyage.

Roger was a very important part of Barrett's life. Even today, the person Barrett wants to surpass is still Roger.

Buena Festa also had the same idea, except that Barrett wanted to surpass Roger in strength, but Buena Festa wanted to do the same thing as Roger in the era, and he also I want to start a new era.

In Buena Festa's opinion, instead of leisurely watching the development of the Great Pirate Age, it would be better to launch a war immediately. However, he could not do it himself, so he cooperated with Barrett, who also wanted to surpass Roger. .

From the point of view of starting a war, Buena Festa and Kaido have something in common, but there is no connection between them.

After all, Buena Festa was a pirate of the same era as Roger. Kaido was still a trainee at that time. Although Kaido is now the emperor of the sea, he has been famous for longer than BIG. Mom and Whitebeard came much later.

In terms of era, Kaido, like Red Hair, is a newcomer who rose in the later period.

Barrett made his name earlier than Kaido.

In Buena Festa's view, Kaido is a new brat, and it would be a shame for an old-timer like him to take the initiative to join forces with this junior.

As for Kaido, his vision is very high now. Arceus' ability allows the beasts to have both qualitative and quantitative improvements in strength. The battle between the pirates is no longer a war in Kaido's eyes.

A war that can subvert the entire world government is what he wants. Buena Festa's petty fights can no longer arouse Kaido's appetite.

And in a sense, Buena Festa's pirate expo was run illegally.

A gathering among pirates is naturally an illegal gathering according to the World Government, but some time ago, Beasts and Big Mom made a move to unify the underground world.

On the surface, the Pirate World Expo is a gathering, but in fact, there are countless underground transactions hidden in private. This type of transaction is now illegal in both black and white.

It's just that Buena Festa only held the World Expo and provided a venue, rather than a direct trader. If this kind of thing can be brought to court, it will take three to five years just to argue, so The beasts didn't pay too much attention.

The underground world is a group of profit-seeking guys. All the beasts can control are the things within their own territory. Outside the radiation range, as long as the person is not too jumpy and expresses his dissatisfaction, he usually turns a blind eye. The ground was let go.

For example, this time Buena Festa even spent a lot of money to hire some special performers.

At this time, the Shadow Fox was already approaching the island where the Pirate Expo was held. However, the painting style on the ship was a little strange. At this time, a row of calves could be seen on the edge of the deck.

Humans, fur tribes, lizards, and mermaids, the features revealed above illustrate the race and identity of these people.

This is naturally not an accident scene, but some strange entertainment activities.

At first, Meowna and Wolf were idle and bored, so they hung upside down outside the deck, watching the sea and sky upside down outside the ship. Under the influence of the herd mentality, Garrott, the rabbit, soon appeared next to them.

Then there are Bepo and Mello. They are not very old, but as Olga also joined the team, their style of painting became strange.

"Sister Olga, you really have a childlike innocence."

Manderfish did not stop his daughter, she was just hanging on the side of the boat to play, and there was no danger. Even if there were some wind and waves, the biggest risk would be to fall into the sea.

But from ancient times to the present, I have never heard of a mermaid or half-mermaid drowning. They can breathe in water and don't need to worry about drowning at all.

Even if something went wrong, Manderfish would be able to react.

"It's just to kill time. If I hadn't had these two moments, I would have died of depression more than a hundred years ago."

She has derived this passive skill after being trapped in the belly of a Neptune creature for a long time. Sometimes a leaf can keep her entertained for a whole day. Because of this, Olga is the cadre with the best reputation among all children. .

No matter what age group she is, she can always blend in perfectly, making no one notice anything unusual.

"Speaking of which, the last time the Pirate Expo was held was 20 years ago."

There was already an island in Olga's sight. Judging from the reaction of the recording pointer, this was the final destination. Seeing that she was about to arrive, Olga stood up and stood on the deck again, arranging her messy hair. .

"Well, I haven't heard anything about it in the past few years. Even Buena Festa disappeared for a while. I thought he was dead a long time ago."

A long time ago, the Pirate Expo was held every few years, but with the disappearance of the organizer, this grand event among pirates also disappeared until Buena Festa appeared on the sea again. , this event was held again.

"So, eldest sister, you came here without even knowing what's going on?"

"Yeah, I told you, I just came to join in the fun. I heard there is a great treasure hunt game.

So what if he has some conspiracy? Twenty years have passed, and times have long since changed. "

Plop.

At this moment, a sound of falling water suddenly reached their ears. When Manderfish and Olga looked back at their original position, Bebo had accidentally slipped into the water.

"Bebo, how did you do it?"

"Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep just now."

Just as Bebo was about to climb up in the water, an extremely tough water bubble appeared under his feet, lifting Bebo's body directly up.

It can be seen that Mello has mastered the abilities of the Western Lion and Hairen, and is already very comfortable in manipulating various bubbles.

After such an interlude, the group of people returned to normal and stood in a row in front of Manderfish.

He originally thought that Olga was fully prepared and knew what was going on here before she intervened.

But the reality told him that Olga had been assimilated by Kaido and had acquired some habits from Kaido. So it seemed that it was a very right choice for him to come here with her.

"Listen to me, although the name is called the World Expo and it looks like a celebration, the essence of this place is still the black market activities of pirates.

Fighting, robbery, kidnapping, there are no taboos on this island.

Under normal circumstances, no pirates would take the initiative to start a fight here. Destroying the trading place is not a good thing for anyone.

But there are always some exceptions, so you guys must not be careless and must act under our sight. Do you understand? "

"Yes~"

"Got it~"

"Brother, you are really strict with your children."

Manderfish received a positive reply, but there was a strange voice in the answer. Before Manderfish could react, there were several more figures on the side of the ship.

"Red hair? Why are you here?"

The person who came uninvited was none other than Shanks, and he was accompanied by Beckman. Although there were only two people, it was a very luxurious lineup.

Shanks didn't regard himself as an outsider, and directly raised his request to the pirate next to him.

"Of course I'm here to participate in the World Expo. The guys over there, please drag our boat up. Thank you very much."

"Stop ordering others on my ship! Why did you, a defeated general like you, come to us for no reason!"

"Ah? Didn't I tell you to come to the World Expo? We are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so acquainted."

Shanks pretended to be dumbfounded and scratched his head. If his name hadn't been so famous now, no one would have thought that this funny middle-aged uncle was actually the Emperor of the Sea.

Seeing that the people on the boat didn't help him because of Olga, Shanks didn't say anything. He just took the cable on the boat and pulled the boat he and Beckman were on to the deck like a bull roping.

"Where should I fix it? Are you just going to keep looking at it?"

"Big sister head"

"Go and help him put the boat in order."

"yes!"

After receiving Olga's order, the people on board helped Shanks deal with the problem of the boat.

"Where's your own ship?"

"I haven't driven it. The Red Foss is too obvious. If I drove it over, Uta would recognize it at a glance."

"Sure enough, the only one who can make a guy like you appear is Uta."

No matter how other people feel about Shanks, Olga just can't understand his intimidation. In terms of mentality, she has an inherent advantage over Shanks.

And it was obvious that he was not here to fight, so Olga naturally had nothing to worry about.

Since the death of Whitebeard, the remaining sea emperors in the New World have formed a relatively stable bond using the Beast Fruit as a bond.

"After all, it's Uta's show. You still have to see it if you have the chance. And I always feel like there's something wrong with this World Expo. I don't remember Captain Roger leaving such a treasure."

It's normal for Shanks to know Uta's whereabouts. Without anyone else saying anything, Uta himself will tell Shanks the latest information about the future. After hearing that Uta was invited to this World Expo, Shanks Set off and came here.

In order not to cause a commotion, they deliberately changed to a small boat, and after seeing Olga, an "old acquaintance", they boarded the boat directly.

Shanks is a person who pays great attention to face. According to the theory of world metaphysics, if you don't give him face, he is likely to suffer misfortune in the future.

But in informal situations, Shanks doesn't care about face, and can even show his face. Even if Olga expressed his distaste, he still followed the Shadow Fox into the venue of the World Expo, and even Still poaching in person.

"Manderfish, would you like to consider changing jobs and join me? We may have many topics in common."

"You should discuss this matter with Governor Kaido. I don't have a problem with it if the Governor agrees."

"Forget it, Kaido is a troublesome guy."

At this time, they had followed the sea route on the island to the central area of ​​the island.

This island is very special. It is divided into three fan blade-like structures by sea currents. There are many entrances to the central area.

At this time, the host of the World Expo also picked up his microphone.

"Everyone! There is a reason why the World Expo was chosen here after twenty years! When the Great Pirate Age was about to begin, the Pirate King Goldo Roger discovered this island and buried extremely valuable treasures on it. Got here!

He also left these words, buried deep and high in the darkness is our answer! This is the challenge issued by One Piece. Everyone, let us challenge this mystery and find this mysterious treasure!

It doesn’t matter if you are not interested in treasures, this time we invited the world’s number one singer! Miss Uta!

Also invited was her partner, Miss An!

You can choose to enjoy that unique singing voice! "

A large stage rose in the center of the island. Buena Festa was very well prepared in this regard and also aroused the atmosphere.

Countless pirate ships had already poured into the waterway and began to compete for the legendary secret treasure, but the Shadow Fox did not move. Instead, it docked at the harbor by stealth.

At first Olga wanted to join in the fun of treasure hunting, but now she seems to have found greater fun.

Shanks had no objection to this. He had come to watch the show, but now that the show hadn't even started, Shanks had turned into a question answering robot.

"Uncle with red hair, I heard that you were once a crew member of the Pirate King."

"Yes, I was also a trainee under Captain Roger."

"Then what treasure did the Pirate King leave here? Isn't that big secret treasure in Rafdru? Since you are his trainee, have you been to the Final Island? What is there on it?"

“Unfortunately, I have not been to Loughdrew, because due to some accidents, I did not go to Loughdrew with Captain Roger.

As for this treasure, I have no impression. "

Shanks really didn't remember Roger leaving anything behind on this island, at least he hadn't heard of such a thing before he got off the ship.

"So, maybe that guy is lying? The purpose is to trick more pirates into coming to this island?"

The issues that Manderfish and the children care about are different. Judging from Shanks' answer, Buena Festa's words are probably full of lies.

Roger has been dead for a long time, and the world cannot verify whether Roger did this or not.

Even if Buena Festa was just using Roger's name to exaggerate, they had no evidence to prove it was a lie.

The only question is what Buena Festa wants to do by attracting so many pirates.

"Maybe, I don't know what he wants to do, but that guy... better not have any evil intentions."

Shanks' tone did not change, but his right hand was holding Griffin's knife handle. At this time, Mello looked at the sea in the distance.

"Dad, there seems to be something under the water."

Due to her bloodline and ability, Mero's perception of ocean currents is much stronger than that of ordinary humans, and she has already discovered something is wrong.

As soon as he finished speaking, the calm water suddenly began to riot, and finally gathered into a powerful current rising into the sky.

"Sky-high ocean currents?!"

Merely soaring sea currents would not shock Manderfish. This was not a unique environmental feature. Soaring sea currents would periodically erupt at many locations along the Grand Line.

What surprised him was that there was an island wrapped in bubbles in this current.

As the sky currents began to gain strength, the island was exposed to the air again.

The appearance of the island interrupted the concert that had already started. At the same time as it appeared, the pirates also found their target and rushed towards the island that had just appeared.

The height of the sky current is not uniform, but the sky current is powerful enough to carry the island to an island 10,000 meters above the sky. Even if they are far apart, the changes caused by this current can be seen.

Above the clouds, Kaido, who was driving drunk, also ended his bending in the drainage channel and entered a state of stable navigation.

But the sudden appearance of the sea current caught his attention. When he noticed several powerful auras nearby, Kaido seemed to have a new plan and took the Island of Nine Snakes to deviate from the original route.
