Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Rowan, full name: Ryan Rowan, the time traveler.

At the beginning of time travel, it took Luo Wen a long time to finally confirm that he had come to the world of One Piece.

But it's a little early.

The sea calendar is 685 years old.

He came to a time when the world government had not yet been established.

Navy, Pirates, Four Emperors, Five Old Stars... none of these exist.

In this era, only the sea nations are fighting endlessly for world hegemony!

In this regard, Rowan shrugged and stepped into this chaotic era.

To live a new life, it's best to have fun!

During the adventure, Rowan ate the natural rustling fruit and tried to develop the fruit ability.

The power and usage of devil fruit depends to a large extent on the ability user's own efforts and imagination.

Rowan did not refer to the ability of [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile in the future, but developed a completely different method of use according to his own memory!

Based on the ability of [Desert Emperor] Azir.

Using the three-color arrogance, the gravel is condensed into gravel soldiers who are not afraid of death one after another!

In this era of endless wars, Rowan manipulated the gravel soldiers and made a name for himself.

By chance, Rowan met a young man named Neferutali.

The two joined forces, and based on a small country, they successfully developed and established a superpower in this troubled world.

Its name is the Empire of Alabasta!

Ryan Rowan, the first emperor of the Alabasta Empire!

Time flies, and the war between the nations continues.

The sea calendar is 719 years old.

In order to cover the evacuation of civilians in Alabasta, Rowan went to the battlefield and summoned hundreds of thousands of gravel guards by himself, blocking the advance of the enemy under the absolute disadvantage!

Crazy enemy troops detonated the volcano with explosives.

In front of his eyes, there was gurgling magma and fire rain falling from the sky.

Behind them are the people of Alabasta Empire.

Rowan shrugged again, and stepped forward, just like when he set off many years ago.

The wall of the forbidden army stands!

...

At the last moment in Rowan's memory, the lava solidified and the volcano stopped its roar.

But he was also powerless to look back at his own people.

Luo Wen didn't remember what happened after that.

Probably died of exhaustion? It doesn't matter.

But what a happy life!

Rowan doesn't care about the impact his actions will have on future generations. After all, he is not a guardian of history.

Whether it is the world government or the era of the Great Pirates, it will all come later.

After his death, who cares about the flood?

...

"Water" really flooded over.

Luo Wen woke up from his drowsiness, as if breaking free from some kind of shackles.

When he finally regained consciousness, he saw a person he could never have imagined——

[Sand Crocodile] Crocodile.

This man, who should have been different from him by countless ages, is standing there alive right now.

The gravel machete swung across.

Crocodile attacked.

Crocodile attacks are ineffective.

Rowan did the math, about eight hundred years had passed.

He was a little surprised, if he was still alive, where did Crocodile's rustling fruit come from?

So Rowan tried, and although he was a little rusty, he successfully summoned the gravel soldiers.

eccentric.

Rowan looked at his hands, too many questions filled his heart.

But problems can always be solved bit by bit.

Rowan eagerly wanted to take a look at this era that he was familiar with in his memory, but he had never really experienced it.

A new era eight hundred years later!

...

Rowan's eyes sparkled.

For Crocodile on the side, it was a "weird" light.

A person whose surname is not Neferutali, but claims to be the emperor of Alabasta;

A person who claims to be a person with the ability of the rustling fruit;

A man who claims to have died eight hundred years ago;

Weird!

Other than that, Crocodile couldn't find another way to describe it!

But as smart as he is, he quickly found the loophole in the other party's words.

"Stop joking, you liar!" Crocodile said with a frown, "You said you died eight hundred years ago, even if you can come back from the dead, how could you possibly know my name?"

It was only then that Rowan remembered that he seemed to subconsciously called Crocodile's real name just now.

But this small flaw is easy for Rowan to solve.

He replied: "Maybe it's the induction between the same devil fruit ability user?"

Crocodile was speechless for a moment.

He couldn't refute it, after all, the other party did possess the ability of rustling fruit, even though the method of using this ability was completely different from his own.

But the problem came again.

The same devil fruit can reappear in the sea only after the person with the ability dies.

I have already eaten the rustling fruit, why is this man named Luo Wen still alive?

...

The noise from outside interrupted Crocodile's train of thought.

The movement of Rowan opening the mausoleum was too loud, which naturally attracted the attention of the Alabasta king's army.

They were already clearing up the rebel army nearby, and at this moment, under the leadership of King Cobra, they came to the tomb of the former king to investigate.

Among the accompanying people were the two patron saints of Alabasta, who possessed the devil fruit ability of the animal department: Falcon Bell and Jackal Gaka.

At the same time, there is also the only daughter of King Cobra, the little princess of Alabasta - Neferutali Vivi.

When everyone came to the tomb of the former king, they saw a scene that made them unimaginable.

At this moment, a big hole was opened in the huge mausoleum.

Numerous gravels lifted large and small stones, suspended them in mid-air, and opened up a path leading directly to the mausoleum.

Two figures are at the end of the road.

One is the national hero they are all too familiar with, [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile.

The other was a stranger they had never seen before.

"That is……"

Cobra squinted his eyes, he was the only person present who was somewhat familiar with the costume on that person.

That is the oldest armor style in Alabasta that only exists in records!

Cobra thought that this kind of thing had long been lost in the long river of history, but he didn't expect to see it here.

Grave robber?

No, no grave robber would ever wear a stolen item perfectly, would he?

That outfit seemed tailor-made for that man!

Cobra thought for a while, and stepped forward regardless of Bell and Gaka's obstruction, and asked solemnly:

"who are you?"

Rowan didn't answer.

He stared at Cobra, and then turned his gaze to Vivi not far away, trembling slightly in his heart.

It is a familiar feeling.

In fact, Rowan has no descendants, but that feeling is not out of blood.

That feeling originates from Alabasta itself, connecting their fates!

Rowan took a step, walked past Cobra, and rubbed Weiwei's little head.

Weiwei raised her head, as if she also felt something.

Rowan walked up the steps made of gravel and came to the ground.

Surrounded by unfamiliar yet familiar deserts.

In the distance, there is a small oasis.

A group of rebellious pirates retreated to the oasis highlands, doing the final battle of trapped beasts. The king's army tried to suppress it, but the manpower was slightly insufficient, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Cobra was about to lead his people to help, but was stopped by Rowan with a wave.

Luo Wen squatted down, grabbed a handful of yellow sand, and slowly stood up.

Gravel slipped from his fingertips and scattered with the wind.

Swish!

Luo Wen suddenly clenched his five fingers, and the surrounding gravel began to respond to his call!

clatter...

The figures of gravel soldiers stood up from the yellow sand.

Vaguely, the people around seemed to feel the wind from the cruel battlefield eight hundred years ago!

The gravel soldiers stood on the yellow sand with spears in their hands, ready to fight!

Luo Wen looked into the distance, and his voice was long, with an inexplicably ancient feeling.

He said slowly:

"Alabasta, your emperor... is back!"
