In the report of the New Era, there are many photos.

Pirates plundering, branch navies of the four seas plundering, and noble oppression in the countries they are in are the current situation of non-member countries.

Some were even arrested and taken to the Tajira Wolf, becoming a slave of the Bridge Country, building the huge bridge that seemed to never be completed for the Celestial Dragons.

In the member countries, in order to reduce the expenditure of Celestial Gold, the king always tried his best to reduce the non-labor population, and the miserable situation was like a purgatory on earth.

Among them, the North Sea Zelsey Kingdom was taken out to focus on the whole process, but the involvement of the Revolutionary Army was hidden.

Plague, which has always been the mortal enemy of mankind, was used to reduce the population, which made all ordinary people who saw this report tremble in their hearts.

Because such a future is likely to be their future.

...

One year later, East China Sea.

Since the rubber fruit appeared in the East China Sea a year ago, CP9, the Revolutionary Army, and the Red Hair Pirates have all gathered here.

But Shanks was very clear about the gap between himself and the other two giants, so he did not show any intention to get involved in the last battle for the Red Hair Pirates, and he has been stationed in the Windmill Village.

At this time, Ace was already twelve years old, and he had become familiar with the Red Hair Pirates with Luffy and Nami.

Although the village chief of Windmill Village, Slap, was dissatisfied, after more than a year, he found that this big pirate was really easy to talk to, so he could only turn a blind eye.

However, the tavern business in the village was booming. At least these pirates really paid for drinking, and they didn't mess around.

"Shanks, is there really a fish as big as an island? How could it be that big? Are you bragging?"

The seven-year-old Luffy widened his eyes, full of curiosity.

[Note: Ace was originally more than three years older than Luffy, but here Lu Jiu did not delay the pregnancy, so he was more than four years older. 】

Shanks glanced at Ace, then smiled at Luffy, "It's not just fish as big as an island. There are many magical places in this sea, such as..."

Speaking of this, Shanks deliberately paused, stared and moved closer, and said in a low voice: "For example, there is a very large fish that can swallow an island in one bite. Who knows... he followed us to this sea area."

Luffy's eyes widened when he heard this, and his curiosity just now became nervous in an instant.

Jesus Bu, who was standing next to him, slapped him on the shoulder, and the child jumped up immediately.

"Hahaha! You're still a little kid with such guts..."

Luffy jumped on the stool and was furious: "Damn pirate, my fist is faster than a bullet, do you want to try it?"

The waving fist was grabbed by Jesus Bu: "Only men who go to sea can be called men, little brat."

Shanks also said: "This sea is very vast, Luffy. The islands 10,000 meters under the sea, the sea water flowing upstream, and the bubbles secreted by the big trees can make people float..."

Speaking, Shanks looked at Ace on the side: "In the Grand Line, there are all kinds of races. In this world, humans are not the only ones... The animals that can talk are the fur tribe, and there are also giants, fishmen, mermaids, and long-handed tribes..."

For a moment, Luffy's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he had long forgotten what Jesus Bu had just teased him about.

Jesus patted Luffy's head: "Only men who are brave and fearless of danger can see the difference of this world, kid."

Luffy pouted: "I'm not a kid!"

At this time, Nami, who had been waiting for the opportunity, handed over a glass of water.

Jesus teased Luffy for a while, so he took it and drank it without thinking.

In an instant, his whole face turned red: "Spicy...!"

Nami smiled and held a plate with six glasses of water on it.

"Five thousand Baileys per glass, thank you for your patronage."

Jesus took out the money and slapped it on the table, and sipped his mouth quickly.

This scene made the members of the Red Hair Pirates in the tavern laugh, teasing the cadre sniper.

Ace pursed his lips in disdain and continued to fight with the milk bread in front of him.

A figure sat down next to him: "Don't you want to drink? Your brother has not drunk milk and juice for two days in order to be recognized as a man."

Ace swallowed half a cup of milk: "Bravery has nothing to do with milk bread, right? Those who can not fear life and death for their own ideals are the real warriors."

Beckman was stunned, and then realized that this was a sentence in the New Era.

The story of the Black Arm General in the New Era is coming to an end. Its prototype is the former Navy Admiral Zephyr, who is also an old-generation figure who was once called the Admiral who does not kill.

But such a person... has a tragic ending.

"So do you want to go to sea?"

Ace looked at Beckman: "You want to invite me? Although you should be very powerful, the Red Hair Pirates have been introduced in the New Era, and they are strong competitors for the Pirate Emperor. But... I will not become a pirate."

At this time, Shanks's actions of teasing Luffy were a little slower, and it was obvious that he was also listening to the movement here.

"Humph! We don't want a kid like you!"

Uta's voice sounded, staring at Ace with dissatisfaction.

However, Ace did not argue with her as usual, but looked at Beckman and asked: "What is your ideal? Tall but empty freedom? Or the so-called Pirate Emperor?"

Tall and empty?

Beckman was stunned.

The kid in front of him seemed to have changed a lot in just over a year.

Is it because of that mysterious father?

"You seem to... think that pirates are low-class?"

As soon as the voice fell, the tavern suddenly became quiet.

Everyone in the Red Hair Pirates looked at Ace, and Captain Shanks was no exception. The atmosphere became tense for a while.

"Bang."

Little Luffy jumped down from the stool and stretched out his hand to stop his brother: "You... what do you want to do?"

Although he was a little scared, Luffy still stood in front.

Nami, who saw that the situation was not right, quietly left the tavern and went straight to Ace's house.

At this time, you have to find external help.

In the tavern, Uta glanced nervously at Lakilu next to her. The other party bit the bone and gave her a look, which made her feel relieved.

"Pah."

Ace stretched out his hand to pull his brother behind him, looked at everyone and said: "Uncle Beckman guessed right, I really look down on pirates."

...

"Hahaha!"

"I said this kid is bold!"

"So many of us dare to say such things, the kid is really powerful..."

"Arnold, go chase that little girl back, otherwise the village chief will chase the boss with a cane and beat him."

"Hahaha... In that case, the boss will lose face."

"Anyway, we are looked down upon by a little kid, and we have lost face a long time ago."

"What face do pirates need?"

"For freedom! For the sea!"

"Cheers!"

...

Makino, who had seen no sound in the tavern in the kitchen, ran out in a hurry. At this moment, the pirates laughed and toasted, which made her feel relieved.

Seeing Luffy's angry look, she poured him a glass of juice.

When she returned to the kitchen, Ace still did not retreat, but looked at Shanks and said: "The reports published in the New Era Newspaper are all true, right?"

Shanks did not refute but agreed.

Ace continued, "Although I haven't been out to sea, I have read every issue of the New Era Newspaper and compared it with the World Economic Newspaper. The existence of pirates seems to have brought only pain and sorrow to this world."

"Of course, you seem to be different from those pirates who only know how to plunder. You will pay for meals and drinks, and you will not rob or kill people."

"But pirates like you should be very few, right?"

Shanks took a sip from the wine glass: "Why do you ask?"

Ace: "The latest issue of the New Era Newspaper states that many countries on the Grand Line will fly the pirate flag in order to seek asylum to deter other pirates."

"You should also be big pirates, right? Because of your power, you can provide protection and also get some money."

"But the number of pirate groups that can become big pirates is too small compared to this vast ocean. So if they want to gain wealth, hold banquets, or want to eat meat and drink, the only source of these things is ordinary people."

After the voice fell, Shanks and others were a little surprised for a while.

A child of only twelve years old could actually think of so many things, and thus distinguish the large number of inferior pirates.

Beckman looked at him: "So what is your ideal? Just like you said just now, an ideal that can be achieved without fear of life and death."

Ace straightened his chest: "I want to make this world beautiful, this is my ideal!"

Beautiful?

Jesus Bu on the side couldn't help but tease: "Do you know what beauty is, kid?"

Ace looked at him and directly retorted: "A man will not abandon his family and children for an illusory freedom, causing a woman to raise a child alone. For that child, a childhood with both parents is beautiful."

_

Jesus Bu was speechless, sat back and began to drink sullenly.

It was okay to be said by that gentleman, but now he was despised by a twelve-year-old child... outrageous!

Ace continued: "It's a good thing that ordinary people are no longer robbed by pirates, it's a good thing that the navy can do their duty, and there is no heaven in this world..."

"Ace."

Shanks interrupted him and smiled helplessly: "Such an ideal is really grand. But you know, Ace, to realize this ideal, many, many people will sacrifice their lives."

"There was a man who gambled his life on the future for the same ideal as you. But you haven't grown up yet, so some things can only be kept in your heart."

At this time, the Den Den Mushi in Beckman's arms rang.

The vice captain's face changed, and after looking at Shanks, he stood up and walked out of the tavern.

It happened that Nami was also caught back, and the four little ghosts got together again.

Luffy: "Ace was really handsome just now!"

Uta: "Huh, just a little bit. But Captain Jesus, who dared to teach a lesson, was defeated, awesome!"

Nami: "Two idiots, although they are already familiar, they are pirates! I almost asked Aunt Lu Jiu to find my uncle."

Uta: "I am also a pirate, so why don't you avoid me?"

Nami: "Aren't we in the same group? We just got a total of 30,000 Baileys. Will you go to the same place later?"

Uta: "Of course I want to go, we are in the same group!"

Luffy: "I really want to grow up quickly, so that I can go to sea. Going on adventures like Shanks and the others, this is my ideal!"

Ace, who had been silent all this time, also had no objection to Luffy's ideals at this moment, even though this younger brother seemed to be more inclined towards the freedom of pirates.

No one can interfere with other people's futures, not even my younger brother.

Sabo already has his own life, and Luffy will also have his own path in the future.

No matter what, he believed that these two brothers would not be those inferior pirates, because they were both gentle people.

Half an hour later, the red-haired pirates in the tavern were all gone. Everyone was carrying supplies and preparing to set sail again at the port.

Little Luffy also came over, wanting Shanks to take him on an adventure together.

However, after being ridiculed by Uta, and asking him to tell Nami to postpone the party and not to use up all the money to cheat Jesus, the red-haired pirates headed towards the Clover Islands.

On the deck, Shanks was now on the bow: "Have you confirmed the information?"

Beckman replied: "The fruit was swept to the land after sinking into the sea. Because of its strange appearance, it was sold by a child to a guy who knew the goods."

"I was about to leave the East China Sea to take action on the Grand Line, but I was discovered by people from CP9. He died, and the fruit fell into the hands of those agents."

Shanks frowned: "The Revolutionary Army people didn't take any action?"

Beckman replied: "Since the news from the Taqila Wolf side more than a year ago, the Revolutionary Army's actions have become more covert. It was also luck that the CP agents took the lead this time, but it cannot be ruled out that the Revolutionary Army is now the same as us. Calculate.”

At this point, Beckman paused: "With a superhuman Devil Fruit, if you don't know something, the revolutionary army shouldn't work so hard."

Shanks replied: "Although I don't know the specific situation, the World Government has paid more and more attention to the Revolutionary Army. In the past, it was that gentleman, but now it is the entire Revolutionary Army. The difference is obvious."

"The movement of the Taqila wolf more than a year ago was too great. Even the five people on Mariejoia showed up, which is already conceivable."

The two were silent for a while.

The emergence of rubber fruit once again caused changes in Donghai, and the two were not worried about the people of CP9.

But the revolutionary army...

If that gentleman is determined to get the rubber fruit, then it would be best if he gets the fruit and gives it to Ace to eat directly.

Thinking of this, Beckman hesitated for a moment and then said: "The blood of the Pirate King does not want to become a pirate, what are you going to do, Shanks?"

Shanks shook his head slightly: "Let nature take its course. That fruit is related to the future of this world, and we cannot let CP's people take it back to Mariejoia."

"Do this, and the will of the future will cause it to appear next to the person who should appear."

Shanks also laughed as he spoke: "Mr. Garp's hometown, the anonymity of the two Ds. No one knows what the future will bring. Even the captain may have guessed wrong, right?"

Two days later, on the ship that was escaping from the Clover Islands but approaching Rogge Town, a large number of agents fell on the deck.

Holding a long knife, Lor looked at Fozzie Fu in front of him: "Users with animal devil fruit abilities are really rough-skinned and thick-bodied."

Foz Fu's chest was dripping with blood from a cross-shaped stab wound. He looked at the box in his hand and replied, "It's just a superhuman Devil Fruit. Why are the Revolutionary Army keeping a close eye on it?"

Luo Er did not answer him, but after his companions formed a siege, he suddenly brandished his sword and attacked.

More than a year ago, in the town that was massacred by the World Government, Lore's domineering power had already grown to a new level.

Facing an agent of CP9's level, it was only a matter of time before he was captured.

In just three minutes, Fozzie Fu, with wounds all over his body, collapsed in a pool of blood.

If it weren't for the physical strength brought about by the animal-type ability, he would be dead by now.

Sheathing the sword, Lore stepped forward and bent down to pick up the devil fruit box.

"boom!"

There was a gunshot, and the lead bullet covered with armed domineering knocked the box away. A warship was approaching, and three CP0 agents appeared on the deck in moon steps.

At the same time, the sniper rifle produced by the research institute sounded, and bullets shot out, but they were easily avoided by the three of them.

"Revolutionary Army? They are really haunting."

The three CP0 agents all wore masks, but none of them cared about Fozzie Fu who was lying on the ground.

Just as one of them was about to pick up the box, gunfire rang out again in the distance, causing his arm to retract in an instant.

I saw a ship with a dragon head approaching. On the observation deck of the mast, Jesus Bu once again aimed at the CP0 guy.

Beckman breathed out: "The Revolutionary Army has indeed taken action. CP9 in the East China Sea seems to have no secrets in front of them."

Shanks smiled: "After all, he is different from us."

Said that the ship was already approaching, but the other party did not fire to stop it. This was also related to the confrontation between the two sides.

Later, Shanks stepped onto CP9's warship, and a sense of oppression filled everyone's hearts.

"boom!"

The crimson thunder exploded, and the overlord's domineering energy was released.

"Click!"

The actual Haki shattered the deck, and at the same time Shanks boarded the warship. .

"Can you give me some face and give me that fruit?"

The person in CP0 glanced at Shanks: "A mere pirate can say such shameless words."

Lor also looked at Shanks: "The great pirate of the new world appeared in the East China Sea just for a Superman-type Devil Fruit. It seems that this Superman-type has a special meaning, right?"

On the pirate ship that was docking, Jesus raised his gun and said dissatisfiedly: "I just helped you, revolutionary army, can't you give me some face?"

Luo Er looked over: "There is no room for negotiation. Pirates have no face in the revolutionary army."

For a moment, the air on the deck became somewhat solid.

"Bang!"

The CP0 agent suddenly started shaving and reached directly towards the box to take it.

However, a one-handed ax held it up, and the huge impact caused it to squat directly. The basic difference was too big.

Lore swung his sword to form a slash.

"boom!"

The violent collision caused the ship to heave.

It was also at this time that the red hair also targeted the three agents of CP0: "In this case, let's eliminate one party first."

Waving Western swords, in less than ten minutes of cooperating with the revolutionary army, the three CP0 members were retreating steadily, and even if they didn't pay attention, they would be split in two by the red hair.

Under the encirclement, three people were quickly injured.

After looking at each other, they simultaneously pushed back the opponent in front of them and retreated.

"Evacuate."

Finally, three CP0 agents took away Foz Fu, who was still breathing.

If the operation fails, there must be someone who takes responsibility. CP9 has always been responsible for the rubber fruit, and their CP0 is responsible for monitoring the revolutionary army.

The best outcome is if someone from CP9 is responsible for this operation, otherwise they will also be implicated.

As for desperate efforts... it is impossible to desperately fight before orders are issued from above. The difference in real-time combat power is too big.

The three people from CP0 took Fozzie Fu and left. At this moment, only the red-haired pirates and three squads of the Revolutionary Army were left on the deck.

Shanks restrained his domineering aura and said, "I had contact with that gentleman from the Revolutionary Army a few years ago. It was just a superhuman Devil Fruit, which is not uncommon in the new world."

One team member was assisting Luo Er to stop the bleeding from the wound on his shoulder, but the other seven people had no intention of giving any face.

The revolutionary army who had previously used a one-handed ax to block stood up: "Superman Devil Fruit is indeed not uncommon in the new world, but although we don't know the inside story about this fruit, it was named by sir."

Lor also looked at Shanks.

"Sir, you'll be here soon. If you think your face is big enough, maybe you can try it."

Shanks' heart tightened upon hearing this.

The oppression that that gentleman had on him a few years ago is still fresh in his memory...

However, we should be able to talk about it and give it a try.

The original name of this fruit has been hidden by the World Government for eight hundred years. The myth of Nika may still be circulated in this sea, but there should be no record of the real name of this fruit.

But...that gentleman named him personally...

"Let's change places."

Beckman looked at the revolutionary army: "You can hold the fruit, but we need to change the place. CP0 should not only have a three-person team in the East China Sea, and it is too close to the Red Earth Continent."

Several people from the Revolutionary Army talked for a while, and finally Lohr picked up the box, inspected it and put it away.

After installing a piece of high explosive on the keel of the CP9 warship, everyone returned to their ship and left the sea with the red-haired pirate group's ship.

Not long after, CP0, who had returned with support, rushed over, but missed.

At the same time, Alabasta in the first half of the Grand Line.

Kevin's body also received a communication from Bello Betty in the East China Sea.

Nika fruit...found.

"What's wrong?"

A blind, casually dressed middle-aged man asked.

Kevin replied: "There is indeed something very important. I wonder if you can wait for me for a while."
