Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

On the night when he came to the Albana Palace, Rowan started preliminary intelligence gathering.

This year is 1507 in the lunar calendar of the sea.

Luo Wen is very clear that it is not enough to know many major events, he needs to understand the "details" of this era.

So, he asked someone to bring all the recent newspaper backups.

There is no shortage of explosive news in this sea.

Rowan analyzed them and sorted out possible useful information.

And when Rowan picked up a newspaper, his eyes fell on the headlines of that day——

Fisher Tiger, the murloc, climbed up to the holy land of Maryjoia with his bare hands, triggering the Maryjoya riot.

"oh?"

Rowan couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

In the recent news, this is the only one that can be called an absolute big event!

Fisher Tiger, a murloc who used to be a slave, climbed up to Mariejoa, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons, with his bare hands, and set off chaos with his own power, freeing countless slaves.

Among them, one of the future Shichibukai, [Female Empress] Boa Hancock, and [Golden Emperor] Gilder Tezzolo and others, can be said to have directly affected the maritime structure of the next era!

Rowan looked at the photo printed under the title.

Facing the raging flames burning in the Holy Land Mariejoa, a tall murloc roared with all his strength.

The dazzling firelight reflected the silhouette of his body.

It was obviously just a photo, but the roar full of unwillingness and anger seemed to echo in Luo Wen's ears.

That is [Murloc Hero] Fisher Tiger!

Such a scene happened seven days ago.

"Murloc..."

Rowan muttered, and put the newspaper aside.

"When you have a chance in the future, go to the memorable Dragon Palace Island to take a look."

...

Overnight.

What Rowan didn't expect was that he got news about the murlocs from Cobra the next day.

A group of refugee ships mixed with murlocs and humans appeared in the port town of Yaruga.

After all, he just caused the big trouble of Tianlong people, so Cobra suggested not to act rashly for the time being.

But Rowan thought of another thing.

A refugee ship mixed with humans and murlocs?

In this era when [Haixia] Jinbe has not yet joined Qiwuhai, such a scene is indeed rare.

And if the ship departs from the Chambord Islands near the holy land of Mariejoa, and proceeds at full speed without stopping all the way, it will take about six days to reach Alabasta.

About seven days!

Thinking of this, Luo Wen stood up and picked up the scepter beside him.

"I'll go and see what's going on, and I'll be back soon."

Cobra knew that he could not change Rowan's mind, so he nodded in agreement.

But what the king didn't expect was that his daughter actually blocked the gate.

"Lord ancestor, are you going to Yaruga?"

Weiwei excitedly said: "The grandpa of the mayor there often brings me candy, I want to play too!"

"Vivi!"

Cobra frowned and said, "Master Ancestor is not here to play, there are murlocs there!"

To Cobra's surprise, Weiwei blinked her big black eyes and asked curiously, "What happened to the murlocs?"

"Murloc..."

Having said that, Cobra was suddenly stunned.

He suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Indeed, as Weiwei said——

Murloc, what's wrong?

The residents of Yaluja just reported the matter, not "asking for help".

This also meant that the group of murloc refugees did not threaten the personal safety of the residents.

That being the case, it's "Murloc", so what's the matter?

At the World Conference, Cobra also talked and laughed with Neptune, the king of Murloc Island.

Why do we have to emphasize that the other party is a "Murloc" when we come to Weiwei's place?

Seeing the stiff Cobra, Rowan couldn't help laughing, and patted Cobra on the shoulder.

"It's just an ordinary shipwreck."

Luo Wen rubbed Weiwei's head, signaling the little princess to follow him.

Then he said to Cobra:

"Don't worry, I will take care of Weiwei."

Seeing this situation, Cobra has no reason to stop, besides, he has already witnessed Rowan's strength.

After all, he was a man who could cross the sea eight hundred years ago!

Immediately afterwards, Cobra discovered a scene that reassured him even more.

A man in a black fur coat was leaning against a pillar not far away, with a cigar in his mouth.

It's Crocodile.

He walked over and automatically followed behind Luo Wen and Weiwei.

Luo Wen smiled and said, "Are you coming too?"

Crocodile said with a dark smile: "I'm not from this country, how I act is out of your control."

"It's okay, let's go together."

Rowan didn't care and nodded.

...

The three of them boarded Alabasta's unique transportation animal - the land and water transfer turtle.

It was a rare giant tortoise that could carry people at high speed in the desert or in the water.

The three of them sat on the back of the turtle and propped up the parasol above it.

Weiwei lay comfortably on it, and soon fell asleep.

Luo Wen sat cross-legged on the side, closing his eyes and meditating.

On the other side, Crocodile was looking at Rowan thoughtfully.

What was he thinking about?

He was thinking of Hades.

What he was thinking about, [Ancient Weapon] - Pluto!

Crocodile is almost certain that this is the moment when he is closest to the clue of Hades.

Because an old monster from eight hundred years ago was sitting in front of him!

How could the existence that was active before the "blank hundred years" not know the clues of ancient weapons?

Totally impossible!

As if sensing Crocodile's fiery gaze, Rowan turned his head and asked with a smile:

"Little crocodile, what's wrong?"

Crocodile looked away, pretending not to hear.

Rowan murmured softly, "Do you want to know the clue of Pluto?"

Crocodile's ears moved and his eyes lit up.

Rowan continued to whisper: "In the past, Neferutari did tell me about the discovery of ancient weapons and other things like Hades. I remember that he planned to discuss it with me..."

Crocodile's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his body leaned towards Rowan unconsciously.

But in the end, Luo Wen changed the subject and said suddenly: "But I didn't care about those messy things, haha!"

Ha ha……

Hearing that annoying laugh, Crocodile almost stumbled.

He could only look at Rowan with murderous eyes while lighting a cigar for himself.

After taking a sip, he cursed secretly: "You conceited big bird..."

The place on the turtle's back is only that big, and Crocodile scolded without hesitation, so Rowan heard this clearly.

He was a little puzzled, "Birdman? Me?"

Crocodile pointed to his head, indicating Rowan's eagle-shaped helmet.

Luo Wen seemed quite disappointed, and murmured: "No way, I quite like this set of custom armor."

"Old thing, your aesthetics has long been outdated!"

The corners of Crocodile's eyes twitched, and his heart was already full of displeasure. "I really can't figure it out. As an emperor 800 years ago, why didn't he even care about ancient weapons?"

At this moment, Luo Wen suddenly clapped his hands and replied excitedly:

"Ah, I know the answer to that question!"

"Um?"

Crocodile frowned.

Then, he heard a sentence from Luo Wen.

A sentence that made his scalp tingle and his hair stand on end——

Rowan smiled, his tone as calm as ever.

"I don't care, because I think those messy things can't beat me."
