Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Crane and Garp returned to the Yaruga Pier, boarded the warship, and sailed away from Alabasta.

...

After a day and a night.

Marin Vandeau, Navy Headquarters.

The corridor outside the marshal's office.

Even here, passing navies can hear the sharp and loud voices that belong only to the Celestial Dragons.

"Waste, a bunch of waste! What are you doing to feed your navy!"

The source of the sound came from the marshal's office.

Zhan Guo sat on a chair, sipping black tea, looking at the report on the table, with a calm and relaxed expression.

A goat walked back and forth in the office, eating some lost documents from the Warring States Period from time to time.

And on the desk in front of him, a fat phone bug was roaring loudly.

"I order you to immediately arrest that traitor...no, arrest and execute those traitors in Alabasta!"

On the other end of the phone bug was the Celestial Dragon, Gudjoyasan, who had just escaped from Alabasta not long ago.

He has been cursing like that for more than half an hour, and there is not a single sentence in it that is the same.

It's hard to imagine that someone can sip black tea leisurely under such a loud background sound, and even work hard. Should he say "he is worthy of being an admiral of the navy"?

No--

Looking carefully, it is not difficult to find that there are two earplugs on the ears of the Warring States Period.

It's worthy of being [Smart General] Warring States Period!

After all, this phone bug doesn't have video capabilities.

...

After another half an hour, the mouth of the phone bug finally stopped.

Only then did Zhan Guo slowly take off the earplugs, and calmly said: "We all know what you said, and we will do it as soon as possible."

"Hmph, good to know! Kajia..."

The phone bug hangs up.

Zhan Guo coughed a few times, and after confirming that the connection of the phone bug had been cut off, he couldn't help but sigh.

Just finish it!

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Zhan Guo tidied up the table and said, "Please come in."

A tall and straight old lady pushed the door open and entered. It was Lieutenant General Crane who had just returned to Marin Fando from Alabasta.

"Xiao He, you are back."

After all, Garp was with him, and Sengoku wasn't worried about Crane's safety. "What's your judgment on the situation in Alabasta?"

Crane put the senbei that Garp brought to Sengoku on the table, and sat down beside him.

"It's like this..."

Granny He recounted what happened in Alabasta completely, and finally explained her own judgment.

But this judgment made Zhan Guo frown slightly.

Granny He smiled and said, "You disagree?"

"No, I trust your judgment, Xiaohe."

Zhan Guo rubbed his brows, "That's... the Tianlong people, I need to think about how to explain, those people are really troublesome!"

He glanced at Zhan Guo, "If you want me to give you some advice, just say so."

Warring States immediately turned to He for help.

He said helplessly: "Contact Wulaoxing directly."

"Indeed, Wulaoxing can suppress Tianlongren." Zhan Guo nodded, "But what if Wulaoxing also wants to attack the emperor who was eight hundred years ago?"

Crane snorted softly and said a word.

A sentence that made Sengoku realize how serious Crane's previous judgment was—

"Then tell them that there will be 'another' Whitebeard on this sea!"

...

Time goes back to a day ago.

On the afternoon when the navy left, Rowan led Cobra, Weiwei, and Crocodile to a corner of the palace.

There are few people here, so the servants just cleaned it roughly, and there is still a lot of dust.

Cobra didn't care about this. After all, he had always been pragmatist, and would even take the initiative to cut the royal family's daily expenses in order to subsidize the disaster-stricken civilians.

Wei Wei asked curiously: "Lord ancestor, what are we doing here?"

"Expedition."

Rowan replied with a smile.

Then, with slightly curious eyes, he stroked his hand gently on a stone brick on the ground.

The rustling fruit ability activates.

Swish!

A stream of gravel penetrated the cracks in the stone bricks, flipping a switch.

Boom!

There was a roar from the ground not far away, and then it sank, revealing an inconspicuous entrance.

"This is the secret room I opened up back then. Only Neferutali and I know it. He has the key, but I don't need it."

Luo Wen looked back at the surprised crowd, took the lead and walked down, followed by the other three.

Among them, Crocodile also kept an eye on the location of the stone brick and the method of triggering the mechanism with the ability of the rustling fruit.

But when Crocodile walked down the stairs, he immediately forgot the method.

Because there is no need for that.

This is just a simple basement, with only a table, two chairs, and piles of old documents and books, and there is no historical text that he is interested in.

But Cobra and Vivi are different, they are obviously much more curious.

After all, they have lived in this palace for many years, but they have never heard of such a secret room!

After all, Weiwei was still a child, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Wow, the secret base of the ancestors!"

"Weiwei..."

Cobra just wanted to correct his daughter's name for the secret room of the two family ancestors, but he didn't expect Rowan to simply laugh.

"Yes, this is the secret base where Neferutari and I used to be!"

Luo Wen smiled happily and recalled: "We have come up with a lot of good ideas here!"

He gently raised the scepter, pointed to both sides, and said:

"We agreed at the beginning that the left side belongs to me and the right side belongs to him."

"I am responsible for the control of the overall strategy, and he is responsible for the details of governing the country."

The three of them looked in the direction Luo Wen pointed, and indeed they saw the difference between the left and right sides of the room.

On the left side of Rowan, there are mainly maps and materials, and there is a blank space in the center, which is about the place where the map is hung, and there are still one-third of the blueprints left on it.

Time has eroded them, leaving these drawings and materials in tatters.

And on the right side belonging to Neferutali, there are many books and folders piled up.

They are all carefully preserved and neatly stacked, and some are even covered with cloth, which greatly reduces the marks left by the years on them.

"Hahahahaha, that's the character of him, he's dead serious."

Rowan came to the right side belonging to Neferutali, and gently brushed the dust off the bookshelf.

"No matter how cruel the battlefield is, it will one day turn into a forest or a desert, while the words recorded in the history books will become memories and last forever."

He lifted a layer of cloth, searched carefully on the bookshelf, and at the same time said slowly:

"Back then, the proposal of the 'World Government' was recognized by many countries, and it took shape, but Neferutali and I didn't like that system very much."

"Then one day, Neferutali suddenly came to me excitedly and told me that he had thought of a plan to deal with it, which is still only a draft, and asked me to help take a look."

"I was busy going out at the time, so this matter was delayed."

Rowan grinned, and recalled: "Nefirutali also reminded me thousands of times, saying that the plan is placed in the secret base. Everyone has read it, and I am the last one."

Weiwei was a little curious, "So, did the ancestors read it?"

"No."

Luo Wen smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "That time was my last expedition."

He was narrating history, but history itself was what he experienced—

"I fought to the death."

Cobra and Weiwei fell silent, while Crocodile raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "So, you are here to find the draft plan from 800 years ago?"

"right."

Rowan nodded.

Crocodile seemed a little unbelievable, "Hey, are you kidding me? How many times has the world pattern changed in the past 800 years? Can a mere draft plan be useful?"

Rowan continued to search on the bookshelf.

"Little crocodile, you don't know Neferutari."

Suddenly, Luo Wen's eyes lit up, and he took a stack of documents from the bookshelf that had not yet been bound, and continued, "He is a genius."

Luo Wen took the information file, sat on the stool on the left side of the table, and began to look through it.

The three people behind couldn't help their inner curiosity, and they also came over.

On the most eroded cover, the words "Alliance of the Four Seas" can be vaguely seen.

Luo Wen took off the cover and casually put it aside.

The words on the first page inside are much clearer.

But what everyone didn't expect was that there was only one sentence written on the first page.

It was a neat handwriting written with a pen, it was a bit long, but the meaning was simple and clear——

"Rowan, if you look through this draft while I'm away, remember one thing: read every page and sort it out. Don't throw it away. Handwritten documents are not coded, and it's very troublesome to sort them out!"

"—— Neferutari."

Rowan: "..."

After a moment of silence, Rowan suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter filled the secret base of him and Neferutali.

"Hahahahaha, as expected of you, Neferutari!"

He waved his hands again and again: "I know, I know, don't throw the stool, at worst, I'll tidy it up for you in a while!"

"..."

silence.

There was silence and no one answered.

Luo Wen kept waving his hands for a long time, but no one could clap his hands like he was familiar with.

"..."

Rowan turned his head and saw Crocodile, Vivi, and Cobra...

But I can't see the young friend who wears glasses, likes to wear long robes, has a nerdy temperament, always puts on a serious expression, and is the first to cry when drinking.

"Oh, right."

Rowan remembered this.

He turned his head, looked at Neferutali's handwriting, and murmured:

"You're not here..."

Two thousand and nine, I really don't want to poke, okay!
