Pirates: The wages are in place and the Yonko will be kicked out.

After a period of climbing, Sakaski walked along the high ground that formed the shoulder of the mountain toward the crater.

He walked to the crater, which was basically the same as the other volcanoes he had seen in the World Government's white paper on rock berries. In other words, it is like a huge funnel, getting wider and wider from top to bottom.

Although he did not see boiling magma, Sakaski, as a rock berry fruit user, could clearly feel the unique smell of active volcanoes, and it was quite strong...

(There should be an outbreak recently...)

With this thought in mind, Sakaski jumped into the crater without any hesitation, turning into a ball of black smoke and surging magma in the air.

…

"Are you all ready?"

"Everything is ready, sister!"

"Very good, let's set off immediately! Sisters, it's time to hunt!"

"oh--!!!"

The pirate ship, towed by two giant snake-shaped sea kings, sailed away from the port of Maiden Island with a flag of nine snakes wrapped around a skull that looked like the sun.

…

Although the fate of many people in the world will change due to the butterfly effect caused by Porusalino, the time traveler, at least for now, Rear Admiral Monkey D. of the Navy Headquarters, who was just punished not long ago Long, his destiny is still proceeding as it should.

As the former base commander of the Navy's Shampoo Base who committed the "crime of disrespect" against the Tianlong people, Long was naturally unable to bring his original warships and subordinates with him while he was being punished. Therefore, during the few weeks he came to Xihai, he took the warships of various branches in Xihai, or simply rode on merchant ships. In short, he highlighted his aimlessness.

What? The mission to track and eliminate anti-government organizations?

Don't be kidding. Today, when the World Government was established and has ruled the world for nearly 800 years, are there any so-called anti-government organizations?

Both Long himself and the senior officials who punished him knew very well that the punishment task Long received was just a cover to wait for the Tianlong people to calm down.

Of course, although the mission he received did not actually exist, Long was not completely idle during his time in the West Sea - he helped fight against pirates when he was on the branch's warships, and he was on duty when he was on passing merchant ships. Act as a guard...

On this day, Long leaned on the armrest of the deck and looked at the disappearing strait.

It has been a full week since he boarded the archaeological ship under his feet. Next, he will follow the archaeological ship to O'Hara, the holy archaeological site in the West Sea and even the world.

After arriving in O'Hara, Long would visit the Tree of Omniscient Library there, which he had heard about for a long time, and then continue like a wandering pirate hunter, randomly boarding the next ship to go to the next place.

"Mr. Long, um... do you want some black tea?"

The female archaeologist on the archaeological ship, Lucy, who was only in her early twenties, spoke to Long shyly. In her hand she held a tray with a still-steaming mug on it.

"Thank you, you're welcome."

Lucy accidentally caught the eye of the dragon who stretched out his hand, and immediately tensed up. It has been a full week since Long came to this ship. Even though Lucy felt like she was used to this outsider, she still would be shaken by Long's eyes from time to time.

His black eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to absorb all light and sound, as if they could take away her soul as long as their eyes met. Even more so in this emergency situation.

Is it because Long has the accent of his Donghai hometown that he remembers so fondly? Or is it because Long once bluntly stated that he was a rear admiral who offended the world's nobles? Or is it because he rescued himself and everyone on the ship from the pirates the day he appeared?

"……What's wrong?"

The dragon looked at Lucy's frozen face in surprise.

Lucy's eyes widened as if she had woken up from a dream, and she said, "Nothing! Nothing!" as she hurriedly returned to the boat. On the tray she was holding, there was still the cup of black tea brought for the dragon.

What on earth is this little girl here for?

Long tilted his head and looked back.

Perhaps because the sea area where this archaeological ship sailed was close to Winter Island, sunset came earlier than usual. The sea that spreads out in front of Longmian is so calm that you can walk directly on it. The track of the setting sun on the sea is like a bridge over the sea, shining brightly. Every noise of the waves filled the sea with dazzling orange light.

In the past, Long didn't like to look at the sea at sunset, because it would remind him of the nameless fishing village that was robbed, burned, and turned into a sea of ​​​​fire during his first naval mission. The sea surface reflecting the burning flames is like the sky under the setting sun, and the flames seem to burn to the clouds...

How many lives were lost in the flames that day? Just thinking about it seemed to drive 15-year-old Long crazy.

But fortunately, he didn't really go crazy because of this, and in the next ten years, he targeted his father, Garp, and continued to become stronger, successfully preventing similar tragedies one after another.

He became the youngest rear admiral in the history of the navy and was stationed in the Chambord Islands, one of the most prosperous islands in the world. The entire world government intended to use him as a model for promoting justice.

However, just when everything was going in the best direction, he, a model of justice, beat the descendant of the most noble Creator in public!

Everyone thought he was crazy, but Long himself didn't think so.

——That descendant of the Creator who wanted to roast and eat living people just out of curiosity, that Celestial Dragon, wasn't he a real madman?

Is not it?

It does not seem to be the case - at least, both the Navy Headquarters and the World Government agree that the descendants of the Creator cannot be mad, otherwise the dragon would not be punished as a sinner here in the West Sea at this moment.

Long now understood firsthand why his father, Lieutenant General Garp, had repeatedly rejected the World Government's offers for him to be promoted to general.

While Long was recalling these things——

"Mr. Long."

A calm and deep voice from behind stopped him.

Long turned around, and the leader of the archaeological ship, Guevara, who was about 60 years old, was standing at the entrance of the deck.

"Lucy is processing the batch of cultural relics you got for us before... Are you interested in coming over and taking a look?"

ps: Since I have been stabbed too much in the back, it doesn’t matter anymore. I will write the story of the Revolutionary Army now! (Based on limited information)

ps: You all know who Grava is, right? laugh

ps: Who is Wang Lufei’s mother? Oda has not released any information so far. Alas, she is another point waiting to be stabbed in the back.
