Arceus’ Pirate Journey

"I'm talking about red hair, you don't have a very good memory, don't you think this uncle looks familiar?"

"Familiar? That's a little bit...but"

"Roger's ship was built by him. If that's the case, you should have remembered it, right?"

The words have reached this point. If Shanks can't recognize who this is anymore, then his brain can really be donated. Then Shanks rubbed his eyes, and the Tom in front of him gradually became the same as his impression. Tom coincides.

"Mr. Tom?! Why have you changed your color?"

"Hahaha, do you recognize it? After all, I am a fish-man. This is also a characteristic of the race."

Today's Tom has trimmed his beard and combed his hair. He is very different from the Tom of long ago. In this sea where prosopagnosia is more serious, this change is comparable to plastic surgery.

The most important thing is that Tom is a fishman, and some fishmen will have the characteristics of that type of fish based on the fish blood inherited in their bodies.

The blue-ringed octopus man can use poison, the bearded shark man has the protection of mimetic color, and Tom's species is a type of box fish. This kind of fish will change its color depending on the living water area and age.

With the beard and hair, Tom has changed drastically. Shanks is not very familiar with him, so it is not easy to react.

"The fishmen are really a magical race"

The inheritance of the fish people is quite special. Even the parents don't know what kind of child they will be. After all, the genes of their ancestors will randomly appear in this race.

Of course, the original characteristics of fish will change in fishmen. Some will be strengthened, and some will fade away. It depends on the situation.

"How about it, Shanks, isn't this plan great? If the sea train can closely connect the entire world, the exchanges between different islands will be closer in the future, and people's lives will not be limited to one island. .”

Tom told Shanks about his sea train plan and the future it would bring.

“As long as the shifts can be properly arranged, this will provide countless employment positions and drive the economy of the entire sea. The floating rails can withstand waves and can be sunk in the water to allow ships to pass normally.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if this big project can be completed in the rest of my life. "

"Sir Tom, this matter is not that simple. At least the personnel control in the dispatch room must be trained for a period of time, and all other pirates on the sea must be dealt with. Otherwise, you must equip the locomotive with cannons."

Tezzolo analyzed the feasibility of this matter from a more practical perspective. It would be a long process to make a profit on this kind of project.

At least until the whole world is familiar with this method of travel and has enough time and money to travel, it will definitely be a loss-making business, and a lot of money will be spent on annual maintenance.

According to Tezzolo's calculations, it is impossible to accurately build a railway to every island. Even in the four seas, only one road can be built and put into trial operation among the prosperous islands in the initial stage.

"That's right, this matter is also quite complicated. At first, just the sea train in the capital of seven rivers took so much time."

"There's no need to be so negative, Sir Tom. Maybe by then, you will have to build railways on land instead of in the sea."

Tezzolo casually talked about some real possibility. Judging from the news he knew, the changes in the sea in the future will not only be the system, but also the ecological environment and island structure. They are all within the scope of change.

The area of ​​the Rabbit Bowl is not small. Tezzolo and Shanks' walking distance is pretty good, but Tom is far behind. In the end, with the help of the Steel Armor Crow Taxi, they arrived here without spending much time.

At this time, the defense force of Rabbit Bowl was empty. Most of the people had gone to the banquet together, but it was quite quiet here. What happened in the previous prison escape operation had frightened the remaining people.

Even if the guards became weak, they did not try to make any dangerous moves, after all, that would directly cost them their lives.

Soon, Shanks saw Luffy who was sleeping soundly. Judging from his attitude, he had no sense of being in prison.

"Why do I suddenly feel that what Kaido said is right? It would be good to let this kid squat for a few more days."

If it weren't for the fact that there are still many things to deal with after returning to his own territory, and he probably won't come to Onigashima again for a while, then the red-haired man would really want Luffy to be locked up for a few more days. As for now

Shanks casually picked up a stone from the ground, aimed it at Luffy's head and flicked it out.

"Ah! It hurts!"

With a snap, a big bump appeared on Luffy's forehead, which also successfully woke him up from his sleep.

"Hey, what are you doing? Firecrackers and fireworks went off all night last night, and I finally fell asleep."

Luffy, who was in a daze, didn't seem to realize what happened, and subconsciously complained to Helu, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Shanks squatting expressionlessly outside the prison.

"It seems that you are quite accustomed to life here. Isn't it a bit redundant for me to come here?"

"Shanks? Were you also arrested by Kaido?"

Boom!

A sap hit Luffy on the head from behind, and Helu's expression became a little unkind.

"Hey! [Did you read the previous newspapers and live broadcasts in vain? Did you eat them all together!]"

"Oh, I remembered, they have already established a pirate alliance.

But hey, can you please stop knocking on the head next time? I feel like you have knocked too much during this period, which is why my memory has deteriorated. "

Listening to Luffy's explanation, Helu was already thinking about whether to switch from a bone rod to a hammer. At this point, he actually wanted to do it next time.

Fortunately, Shanks' next move completely reassured Heluo. He got the guard's key and opened the door of the cage directly.

"Okay, according to the previous agreement between Kaido and I, we can take you out of here. By the way, there are some acquaintances of yours here. I think your partners should have recognized their identities."

"Well, who is it?"

Luffy stretched his neck and looked back. Unfortunately, given his brain capacity, he didn't recognize who the other person was.

But it didn't matter whether Luffy could recognize them or not, the others had already determined each other's identities.

"Teacher Tom!"

Franky was different from the redhead. Even though Tom had changed his skin color due to race, Franky still recognized the other person's identity from the look in his eyes.

Brooke also naturally noticed Tezzolo, his former boss.

"Boss Tezoro, yo hoo hoo hoo, it's been a long time no see."

But compared to Brooke, Nami's reaction to Tezolo was even greater. The reason is simple. Tezolo is a rich man, and judging from the lace part of the newspaper published by Morgans, Tezolo's wealth is Even more than some countries.

According to the definition of this sea, many individual small islands are one country. The wealth of such a country cannot be compared with Tezzolo, which collects the wealth of the entire underground world.

As a money addict, Nami naturally knew this person.

After a while, the handcuffs were lifted, but the Straw Hats didn't seem to know what to do next. Not long ago, their goal was to sail to Ravdru and realize their dreams on the way.

Due to its location, Ravdru gives people endless fantasies, all blue, panacea, and the last unknown sea area, all of which seem to be answered there.

But now Kaido has destroyed this way. Although the dream is still there, it makes people unable to find a way forward for a while.

"Frankie, you said you wanted to be with me two years ago, do you remember this?"

Tom patted Franky's body that had been transformed many times, but there was a sense of sadness in his eyes. Previously, he felt that he was the target of the world government, and it would be particularly dangerous for Franky to follow him.

But now that everything has settled down, there will be no chance for other pirates to indulge in the future sea, so he wants Franky to move to a safer place to avoid using his talents in dangerous places.

"I still remember, Mr. Tom."

"The time has come. Do you want to come with me? If this is completed, our names will probably be passed down forever."

"Well, Mr. Tom, I am still the shipwright of a ship."

If it was two years ago, Franky would have followed Tom away without thinking, but things are different now, and he has a new bond.

"By the way, Sunshine."

"Don't worry, your ship is still in good condition. Mr. Tom, it's too early for you to take him away now. Let these little guys follow me first. They must understand the changes in the world. .”

Shanks made his decision. It was easy to get people, but he planned to get them completely. Specifically, he wanted to wait until the new world conference was over before letting them leave.

His face-saving fruit seemed to be working at this moment, and he didn't even need exclusive lines to get Tom to agree to the idea. After all, Shanks's idea was also beneficial to the future.

However, when making this decision, Shanks did not ask for their opinions, but chose to go his own way and took Luffy away from here directly by his neck.

As for the rest of the people, they also followed up under the urging of Heluo.

Time passed quickly. As the lively celebrations in Wano Country began to come to an end, the date set by Kaido was gradually approaching. Other countries had no idea what Kaido wanted to do and could only wait anxiously for the future.

But on Ghost Island, some people protested against the future.

"I don't want it! What the hell is the King of the World! I'm not interested in that kind of thing!"

Kaido only drank for two days and two nights this time, and used the skill of returning life to directly decompose the alcohol, and then gave Yamato a position that was unimaginable to her.

"What are you talking about? You have no interest in ruling the world?"

"No! When did I say I was interested!"

Kaido, who occupied Wano in the original timeline, wanted Yamato to be a general and let her make Wano whatever she wanted. As long as Kaido's war needs were ensured, he wouldn't care.

Things have changed now. Kaido in this timeline no longer looks down on the generals of Wano Country. Compared with the world, Wano Country is really too small.

Wano Country is his logistics, and he can look at the sea. Now that he wants to conquer the starry sky, he naturally needs the entire sea to be his logistics. Just like in the past, he still needs a stable rear.

So this daughter became the legitimate king in his eyes.

"Uh-huh, you're not interested, are you? Then how can you ensure that the development of this world is in line with the beauty in your heart?

It is force. When you use force to defend this order, whether you accept the throne or not, your position as the uncrowned king has been determined.

I will not be restricted by this position, and your adoptive father will not be interested in this kind of secular kingship. So if you don't take this position, who do you want to take it?

If left to others, a new Celestial Dragon might be born.

Besides, Zekrom and Reshiram have already supported a king. If you become the new king, you might be able to gain their recognition better. "

It was obvious that coercion and inducement were no longer suitable now, so Kaido replaced it with inducement and truthfully explained the stakes to Yamato.

"Come on, you are trying to fool me again! It doesn't matter who is on the throne. After the order of the adoptive father is established, even if there is a stranger on the throne, the order can still be maintained under the law.

If this order always relies on force to oppress, rather than people consciously maintaining it, then it has failed!

You just want to use that position to tie me up and let me work for you honestly! "

"It's getting harder and harder to fool people."

"What did you say?! I heard it!"

Kaido's whisper did not escape Yamato's ears, but Kaido seemed to have learned the red-haired's inherent skills during this period, pretending to be dumbfounded, and directly changed the topic.

"Forget it, anyway, according to your adoptive father's wishes, this is all in name only. A truly empty throne is also a good thing, but you don't want to miss this world meeting.

Speaking of which, I'm quite looking forward to it. I don't know how that old guy is doing now, but I'm really looking forward to seeing his expression on my face in a place like this. "

The old guy Kaido was referring to was none other than the king of the Woka Kingdom, the king who originally wanted to sell him to the navy in exchange for the right to participate in the World Conference.

According to Maria's father, there was a lot of trouble in that kingdom shortly after he left. The old man also fled, but later it seemed that he had regained power.

After counting the time, Kaido felt that he should still be alive and well and still have the strength to attend the meeting. If he unfortunately died, he would have met the prince of that country. In short, it would definitely be interesting.

At this moment, the Red Earth Continent was still bare. There was no second building complex near Mariejoia. All the buildings there were built to serve the Celestial Dragons.

The previous battle completely destroyed these things, leaving dents that penetrated the entire red earth continent. The remaining time is not enough to rebuild this place, unless you find a Wood Release user who knows infrastructure.

But now there are many people gathered here. The time given by Kaido was very tight at the beginning. Those who could not get here at all had already given up the idea of ​​rushing because they had no chance of arriving within the stipulated time and could only wait for Kaido. Many follow-up arrangements.

However, some countries closer to the Red Continent have begun to take action in private. They have even reached the ruins of Chigang under the Red Continent. Originally, they wanted to come and wait in advance.

The destructive power displayed by Arceus in the end was so shocking. They didn't think their country could withstand it. Even if the country could withstand it, they themselves couldn't.

But after arriving here, they found that they couldn't go up at all. With the bubble elevator destroyed, they didn't have the ability to climb the Red Earth Continent. Even for Tiger back then, the climb was full of dangers. Not to mention these ordinary royal families.

Finally we had to gather here, at least they were here.

There were several temporary tents set up on the ruin-like place, one of which was very special because it was not a gathering place for the royal family, but a news branch belonging to Morgans, where they were always waiting to receive first-hand news.

"There's only one day left. What kind of order does that pirate want to establish?"

"I don't know, but does it matter what order it is? As long as this order does not shake our rule, it doesn't matter who is on top. Anyway, I don't think the Tianlong people are any good people.

That year a Celestial Dragon came to my country, and in that one month he consumed several years of savings in my treasury."

"I said, you should change the name. If you still call him a pirate, we are the pirates' younger brothers. My country has no historical records of the past 100 years. You said that the twenty kings before the establishment of the world government were How was it called?"

"Then I don't know. My country has only been established for less than a hundred years."

These people are all kings. Although they have different ideas, they have an inexplicable sense of identity. They feel that the other party and themselves are both grasshoppers on the same rope, so they discuss the future results together.

"That organization called the Arceus Cult once came to my country and helped a lot in the slums. To be honest, that organization is not bad overall. If it is that kind of order, I can accept it."

boom!

Before he finished speaking, there were several bear paw-shaped marks on the ground here. Wrapped in the bear paw bubbles, several people emerged from inside.

Ivankov, Xiong, Long, Sabo and other top leaders of the revolutionary army appeared here.

Sabo and Long are representatives of the revolutionary army. Xiong and Ivankov are the kings of the two countries themselves. The goal of this meeting actually includes them.

"Long, it seems that someone is more anxious than us. From the looks of it, I'm afraid they came to camp here not long after the news about Kaido came out."

"With the future of a country at stake, tension is inevitable."

"Huh? Then you are really naive. I think these people are not worried about the country, but themselves."

Ivankov did not agree with Long's words. In fact, Ivankov's words were the real mainstream to a certain extent. Kings are all human beings and have their own selfish motives. An emperor who does not mess around deserves to be punished. Praise was sung.

What most people are worried about right now is their own future, but some people are going too far.

Staley, the current king of the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea, looked very flustered. At this time, there was a newspaper on his table.

[New World Conference, where will the future world go? 】

The conspicuous title reminded Staley that that day was coming soon. In Staley's eyes, this meeting was a death notice, and he didn't want to go at all.

At this time, he had already begun to quietly pack up his treasures and planned to sneak away quietly.

"The damn navy, the damn Garp, the useless world government, were defeated by a group of dirty pirates."

Staley complained while cleaning up. For him who once dreamed of becoming a Celestial Dragon, the current world situation is a heavy hammer on his chest.

"Staley? What are you doing?"

At this time, Nandikanet, the princess of Goa Kingdom, also walked in. Looking at Staley who was secretly packing up the treasure, she seemed to realize something.

"Ahem, Nandkarnet, this."

"The new world conference is about to begin. Are you packing your things secretly to escape?"

Staley's cowardly behavior made Nandikanet very angry. What made her even more angry was that Staley didn't even want to take her with him.

"Isn't that natural? Who is going to the meeting held by the pirates? Who knows what those crazy people are going to do? They killed all the Tianlong people! I don't want to send them to their door to commit suicide!"

"Then if you don't go and their anger spreads to the entire country, what should we do?"

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Very good, it seems that the Duke is right to worry. You are indeed a character who will run away from the enemy."

Staley was not originally the heir to the throne, but shortly after he married Nandikanet, the original king and prince passed away, which made him the king. Although he had long been a member of the aristocratic circle, Staley This move also completed the rise in status.

But the original royal faction didn't trust him very much. As a burst of clapping came, several nobles also walked in and directly held down Staley who was trying to escape.

"King Staley, you have to go if you want to do this, or if you don't go, you have to go!"

If a person shows indifference to this matter, then there is a high probability that this matter does not involve the other party's vital interests. If Staley runs away, no one will confront Kaido to test the other party's attitude.

Therefore, the nobles of the entire country have reached a consensus at this moment.

And in a certain corner of the sea, from a sealed door, excited laughter came.

"I've realized it! I've been hallucinating for two months in seclusion. I finally found the most suitable song. Now the headline will definitely be mine!"

He is an artist and is ranked high on the popularity list, but he just can't get to the top.

Utta, Tezzolo, and the sudden appearance of Brooke, including Cavendish and Sindori, who were promoted by Tezzolo, all gave him a blow. The Beasts and Fruits Performing Arts Department seemed to be a threshold that he could not pass in his life.

But no one responded to his excitement, and even looked at him with a slightly sympathetic look.

"Is there a possibility that what you saw was not an illusion?"

Along with this sentence, the newspaper was also handed to him, and the five words "New World Conference" seemed to be unusually prominent.
