Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Alliance of the Four Seas, Dock Camp.

The first wave of offensive launched by the pirate crystal ghost subsided temporarily.

That's right, after all, every defensive point almost perfectly fits the fighting style of each main combat force.

Even if the crystal ghost virus greatly enhanced the physical fitness of those pirates, they could not compete with the main force of the Universal Alliance that was "fighting at home".

Everyone performed their duties, busy, and at the same time kept discussing the inexplicable broadcast just now.

That guy on the radio...what the hell is it?

Would anyone really believe such a stupid lie?

Although they had such doubts in their hearts, they still adjusted the layout quickly according to Luo Wen's request, preparing for the second wave of crystal ghost attacks.

After all, Ryan Rowan, who is honored as the ancestor by the Alabastas, never seems to miss the prediction of the situation.

The long night is over, the wind and rain have stopped.

But it's not over yet, or—

just began!

...

inside the house.

Rowan sat on a chair, resting his head on his right hand.

In the two pupils, one on the left and one on the right, two completely different sand tables are being calculated separately.

In Rowan's eyes, countless small gravels were arranged and combined, and evolved into the Kingdom of Aden, or various "possibilities" in other regions.

Seeing this, the members of the Universal Alliance in the house did not bother him, but were busy with their own affairs.

According to their thinking, the only thing the Universal Alliance can do at this stage is to assist Dr. Kureha in developing a vaccine for the crystal ghost virus as soon as possible.

Only in this way can we solve the current predicament...

Um?

etc.

It seems that something is not quite right.

This feeling of "something is wrong" flashed by, and most people didn't care, but the thoughtful Crocodile began to think deeply.

If all goes well, the Four Seas Alliance successfully resists the next wave of crystal ghost attacks, and when Kuleha successfully develops a vaccine antidote, will everything really be solved?

No, that's not the case.

According to that bastard of the world government, the world government had sent the antidote to the vaccine to the Kingdom of Aden, but it was intercepted by the Universal Alliance.

And according to my own and Luo Wen's speculation, those idiots in the Kingdom of Aden should now feel that the antidote to the vaccine is in the hands of the Universal Alliance.

If the vaccine antidote is brought out at this time, isn't it true that the world has conquered?

Thinking of this, Crocodile frowned and took a sip of his cigar.

When was he so passive?

"That flamingo bastard..."

Crocodile glanced at Rowan, and he believed that the other party must have seen this too.

Presumably this is why, the sand table in Luo Wen's pupils is performing calculations with outrageous precision and speed!

...

Crocodile was almost right.

Rowan did think of that.

After combining the large amount of information he possessed, Rowan naturally thought about more things.

The person who made the broadcast was undoubtedly Caesar Courant.

He is a mad scientist who is extremely conceited and believes that his experiments will never fail.

At this moment, Caesar should be affiliated to the Navy's scientific force, and is a subordinate of the world's number one scientist, Vegapunk.

In the future, because of dissatisfaction with Vegapunk, Caesar will rashly launch scientific weapon experiments on an island called "Punk Hazard", which will eventually trigger a big bang.

As a result, Caesar was arrested, escaped from the prison ship, and returned to Punk Hazard to cooperate with Don Quixote Doflamingo to secretly develop the raw materials for man-made devil fruits.

Back to the present time.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that Doflamingo can hook up with Caesar.

On the other hand, Caesar is currently a subordinate of Vegapunk, and Vegapunk was once a colleague of Vinsmoke Gage and [Plague] Quinn.

So, a possibility appeared——

Vegapunk still has some of Quinn's research materials in his hands, including the prototype of the "Ice Ghost Virus" that will appear in Wano Country in the future.

Whether it was accidental or intentional, in short, Caesar got the information and developed his own virus based on the content of the information——

That is, the "Crystal Ghost Virus" that is currently breaking out in the Kingdom of Aden!

This is the information currently speculated by Rowan. It may not be completely accurate, but many problems have now been explained.

For example, why the characteristics of crystal ghost virus are so similar to ice ghost virus.

Another example is why the Don Quixote family can get on line with Caesar—or the "world conquest" behind him.

Today's Doflamingo is different from Crocodile, he is not yet one of the [King Shichibukai].

In the near future, Doflamingo will take advantage of his intelligence as a Celestial Dragon to rob a batch of "heavenly gold" that is going to be shipped to the Holy Land of Mariejoa.

Afterwards, he will use this as a bargaining chip to threaten the world to conquer and agree that he will become one of the Qiwuhai under the king.

After gaining a "legal" reputation, Doflamingo will go to the Kingdom of Dressrosa, which is located in the second half of the great route, and complete the act of stealing the country, becoming the king of the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

Since then, Doflamingo's layout has been completed and he has become the king of the dark world - [JOKER].

This should be Doflamingo's original plan.

But the sudden appearance of the Universal Alliance seemed to give Doflamingo another choice.

Rowan speculates that Doflamingo probably intends to cooperate with the world government, and while hindering the Universal Alliance, he will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters in the transaction of surgical fruits.

Moreover, Doflamingo can use this as a "certificate of honor" to join the Shichibukai, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

...

Crocodile was a little upset when he saw that Rowan had remained silent.

And when the sand table in Rowan's pupils dissipated, Crocodile finally found an opportunity and asked:

"Hey, what's your plan?"

Rowan thought for a while and asked, "What's your plan?"

"If it were me, it would be easy."

Crocodile smiled darkly.

"Get rid of those who dare to provoke us, whether it is the idiots of the Kingdom of Aden, or that flamingo bastard!"

"Once the perpetrator is dead, we'll have plenty of time to deal with trouble."

"At that time, whether you want to annex this country that has no royal family, or use it as a stronghold of the Universal Alliance, it's up to you!"

After listening to Crocodile's words, Rowan nodded and remained silent.

Crocodile waited, couldn't bear it anymore, knocked on the table, "Hey, why are you not talking?"

Luo Wen smiled, "Because there are still people who haven't spoken."

"Um?"

Crocodile was taken aback, not knowing why.

Just when he was about to ask, the broadcast of the Kingdom of Aden rang again.

"Hey... No, you can't laugh, your attitude is wrong..."

He made a familiar voice.

Everyone could tell that it was the person who spoke on the radio last night!

Crocodile was a little puzzled, and turned to look at Rowan.

"Are you waiting for this guy to talk? Didn't he say it once last night?"

"So, this is the second time."

Rowan grinned, and the sand table in his pupils began to work again.

"The first time was 'fire', the second time was 'fuel'."
