Pirates: The wages are in place, the four emperors are kicked out

After climbing for a period of time, Sakaski walked along the high ground forming the shoulder of the mountain towards the crater.

He walked to the crater. This crater 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 was like a huge funnel, growing more and more from top to bottom.

Come wider.

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...

(I think there will 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, raised a flag with nine snakes wrapped around a skull that looked like the sun, and sailed away from the port of Maiden Island.

…

Although the butterfly effect caused by Porusalino, the time traveler, will change the fate of many people in the world, 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 according to its due trajectory.

As the former 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, when he came to the West Sea,

For several weeks, he boarded the warships of various branches in the West Sea, or simply rode on merchant ships. In short, he was aimless.

What? The mission of tracking and destroying anti-government organizations?

Don't be kidding. Today, after the establishment of the World Government and its rule of 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 mission 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 gradually 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 at O'Hara, Long will visit the Tree of Omniscient Library, which he has 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. She was holding a tray in her hand, with a mug still steaming on it.

"Thank you, I'm welcome."

Lucy accidentally met the gaze of the dragon who stretched out his hand, and immediately tensed up her body. It had been a full week since the dragon came to this ship. Even though Lucy felt that she had become accustomed to this outsider, she still felt strange from time to time.

He was shaken by the look in Long's eyes.

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. This was especially true in such an unexpected situation.

Is it because Long has the accent of his hometown in the East China Sea that he remembers so fondly? Or is it because Long once bluntly said that he was a rear admiral who offended the world's nobles? Or is it because he rescued himself from pirates the day he appeared?

And everyone on this ship?

"……What's wrong?"

Long looked at Lucy's frozen face in surprise.

Lucy opened her eyes wide as if she had woken up from a dream, and said, "Nothing! Nothing!" as she hurriedly returned to the boat. On the tray in her hand, there was still

That cup of black tea brought for the dragon.

What on earth is this little girl here for?

Long tilted his head and moved his eyes back.

Perhaps because the sea area where this archaeological ship is sailing is close to Dongdao, sunset comes earlier than usual. The sea surface spread out in front of Longmian is so calm that it feels like you can walk directly on it, and the sunset traces on the sea surface

Like a bridge over the sea, it sparkles. Every noise of the waves shines with dazzling orange light, filling the sea.

In the past, Long didn't like to look at the sea at sunset, because it reminded him of the nameless fishing village that was robbed, burned, and turned into a sea of ​​​​fire during his first naval mission. The burning flames were reflected in the sea.

The sea surface 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 the 15-year-old Long crazy.

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 planned 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 descendant of the Creator cannot be a madman, otherwise the dragon would not be punished as a sinner 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?"
