Boom!
Immediately, Pizarro's body gradually submerged into the ground and left here.
It was not that he was worried that the palace would be captured by those robots. For Pizarro, who was used to fights and wars, today was no different from the past.
He just wanted to see with his own eyes which one was better between his Sixth Army and Nord's First Army!
Ever since he joined the Qianhe Pirates, he had disliked Nord.
After all, even the other party's Thunder Fruit was obtained through the captain, and he was a well-connected person.
Frankly speaking, Nord is only 28 years old now, but his strength has reached the level of looking down on the veteran lieutenant general. He is close to being a candidate for general. It can be said that he has a bright future.
But including the Thunder Fruit, this strength is not enough.
And now that we have reached the fork in the transition of times, there is no time to wait for him to grow up.
Potential is illusory, that is, combat power is king!
…
A certain sea area in the new world,
Sonny.
"Anyway, that's what happened. I completely lost to Polusalino!" Aokiji sat on the mast with a leisurely expression, his tone full of sighs.
Kizaru moved too quickly!
Taking advantage of his time to pay homage to the Warring States Period and Garp, he not only won over Green Bull and took control of the navy, but also forced away Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin, establishing victory in one fell swoop.
the most important is,
The other party also secretly controlled the 'Four Emperors' SSG, and by the time Aokiji found out, he was already helpless!
"That's it." Robin was somewhat relieved.
No wonder Qingzhi would go to the prison to save himself before the transfer of rights was completed. It turned out that he was planning the next way out.
From this point of view, although he lost to Kizaru in the competition, he did not give up his ideas.
pity……
He arrived too late, and Luffy was no longer Joeyboy.
"why me?"
Luffy asked.
It was understandable that Aokiji saved Robin, but joining the Straw Hat Pirates was totally out of character.
And he didn't feel that he was qualified to have the powerful admiral join him.
"Well, it's very troublesome to explain this kind of thing." Qingzhi pointed at the newspaper in his hand and said seriously:
"The leader——Monkey D. Luffy!"
This is today's newspaper, and the four people on the front page occupy a huge space. Each one is a name that is familiar to the world.
Among them was Luffy.
There is no other reason, just because they are the new Yonko, that's all!
The title of Luffy's leader is naturally due to Joey Boy's will, which is the biggest reason why Morgans is optimistic about him.
Every time the world changed in the past, it was Joey Boy who took the lead and had the last laugh.
Although the situation is unfavorable now, the chances of winning are also very high. No one knows what Joeyboy has in store.
"嘁~"
Zoro glanced at the newspaper and was unmoved, "I became the Yonkou out of nowhere. This is really flattering!"
Although the bounty was increased and he became the so-called four emperors, Zoro did not show much excitement.
In any case, they will not become stronger because of the name of the Four Emperors, and they have no plans to recruit troops, so the actual effect is not much!
Of course, there are benefits.
After all, they are the weakest among the four sea emperors, and this will undoubtedly cause endless troubles.
Thousands of pirates want to step on them and become famous, so there will be no shortage of battles in the future.
"Hahahaha, with the admiral joining us, we are not the weakest by any means!" Usopp's eyes were shining and he was full of energy.
Uncle Usopp finally became a cadre of the Four Emperors and became famous all over the world!
Besides, aren't there still the Red Heart Pirates at the bottom? With the strength of Luffy and Aokiji, it's not easy to deal with the Red Heart Pirates.
Look at it this way,
The Straw Hat Pirates are at least among the top three.
Although Luffy has not yet agreed to Aokiji's joining, Usopp has already consciously included him.
There is no way, none of the other four emperors are easy to mess with. Without Aokiji, he has no confidence at all!
As for the other three people, they are:
Qianhe Pirates—'Chief Commander' Sumu Qianhe!
Blackbeard Pirates——'Admiral' Marshall D. Teach!
Heart Pirates——'Guild Leader' Trafalgar Law!
All of them are ruthless characters who can stop children from crying. At the same time, they also represent the wave of the new era that will completely replace the old era from now on and shine in the world.
If we say that the title of Qianhe comes from the absolute dominance of the Qianhe Pirates in the New World.
Well, Luo is respected by many chambers of commerce because he inherited Doflamingo's huge industry.
"This kind of thing... is hard to say!"
Hearing this, Qing Zhi shook his head speechlessly.
It's not that he belittles himself, but the power of the other four emperors is far beyond that of the Straw Hats.
Even the weakest of the Red Heart Pirates has reached a level of power that is unreachable by ordinary forces. Not only does it occupy Dressrosa and Nine Snake Island, but its officers are also extremely powerful.
Especially after 'Empress' Boya Hancock joined, the momentum has skyrocketed!
"Maybe it's not necessarily a matter of flattery." Aokiji looked at Luffy seriously, rarely becoming serious.
With Luffy's current strength, he is naturally qualified to compete for the position of the Four Emperors, but the Straw Hat Pirates do not have the power of the Four Emperors.
It's not that Zoro and others are not strong enough, but that their power and influence are far inferior to those of the other four emperors.
In addition, it is difficult to gain recognition from other pirates when you first enter the new world and have not experienced enough tests!
The reason why he is listed among the four emperors is not only because of Morgans's optimism, but also because of his praise.
Some people don't want to see them leave the center of this huge whirlpool unharmed.
"Is this considered deflecting disaster for the navy?" Luffy asked curiously.
"in addition……"
"If I guess correctly, the reason why Five Old Stars sent Green Bull to arrest Robin is because they want to control Joeyboy, that is me!"
It is impossible for the Five Old Stars not to know his character. As for Robin, he is considered a bait at best.
Their original goal was to rescue Robin, so naturally they would inevitably confront the navy.
No matter who wins or loses, the Navy will definitely suffer heavy losses in the end, so this is correct.
Qing Pheasant: "..."
He was still not used to the current Luffy.
If Luffy and Garp were of the same type before, then now, Luffy has gradually moved closer to a dragon.
Is this growth?
"No, this is Kizaru's request."
After hesitating for a moment, Qing Pheasant decided to tell the truth.
The arrest of Robin was the order of the Five Old Stars, but one moment and the other, now that the Navy has escaped the control of the World Government, Kizaru is naturally unwilling to keep such a hot potato.
At the same time, the Navy's justice did not allow him to release Robin like this, and he did not have the time or energy to direct and stage a shocking prison break, causing unnecessary losses to the Navy.
Of course,
The traitorous Aokiji became an important part of Kizaru's plan, perfectly solving the navy's problems!
"No way!"
"That wretched uncle?"
"...So insidious!"
After hearing this, everyone in the Straw Hats looked at each other in disbelief.
Is the Kizaru mentioned by Aoki really the careless admiral?
"Don't be fooled by appearances."
Qingzhi shook his head with emotion: "Especially Porusalino, his scheming is not under Lieutenant General He."
"It is precisely because he knows so much and sees so clearly that he has changed from the passionate young man he was back then to what he is now."
"Besides, that guy's justice is different from all of us!"
Ambiguous justice is just an appearance. In Kizaru's eyes, there is no boundary between good and evil at all, and the competition between the various forces is just a larger competition for survival.
Even the bloodiest kills only eliminate others from the game early.
The person who is eliminated can be a pirate, a navy, or even himself.
This is what Qing Pheasant is most worried about!
"Speaking of this, aren't you the same?" Zoro complained.
The dignified admiral actually joined the pirate side. I guess Aokiji is the one with the biggest problem!
This is a common problem among losers and strong people. Everyone feels that only they are right. This is where most of the disagreements and wars in the world come from.
In Zoro's view, the differences between Aokiji and Kizaru, just like he wants to be the world's greatest swordsman and Luffy wants to be the Pirate King, are not actually in conflict.
The only difference is that Aokiji and Kizaru have too much power and have many followers, so compatibility problems will arise.
"You do not understand."
Qing Pheasant was speechless, it was difficult to explain this kind of thing.
In short, even if he joins the Straw Hats, he will only take action against bad people. Even if there are exceptions, it will be for a larger goal and to protect more people.
But Kizaru is different,
Except for himself, everyone in the opponent's book is blacklisted, including the navy!
As a person in power, this kind of thinking is extremely terrifying. A single thought may destroy the entire navy.
"It doesn't matter, just tell us your plan. Joining us at this time is not a wise choice."
"Either she's just being brainless, or she has a comprehensive plan. I'm leaning towards the latter!"
Sauron was seen leaning against the guardrail of the ship with his arms folded, waiting for what was to come.
Past experience told him that going on a rampage would not work in the new world, and it would be easy to get hit on the head and bleed.
Jinbei's death is a bloody lesson!
As a naval admiral, Aokiji is not good at making suggestions, but he still has an overall view of the situation, and his understanding of all parties' forces far exceeds theirs.
"Oh~"
Aokiji was slightly surprised, "It seems that not only the Straw Hat boys, you have also grown up!"
"Indeed, no matter how crazy you are, after experiencing so many life and death separations, if you don't grow up, you will be completely wiped out."
"Thank you for the compliment." Zoro said with black lines on his face.
Too venomous.
This is rubbing salt into their wounds!
"The road to the throne is always littered with corpses. Think of the other supernovas, you've been lucky."
"Sorry, I'm not in the habit of comparing myself to losers!"
"But you are not the winner, are you? Even the Blackbeard Pirates have lost several core members. This battle for hegemony is not that simple."
"Hmph, if dreams could come true easily, we wouldn't have gone to sea in the first place!"
Sauron never regretted his choice, he only regretted that he was not strong enough and failed to protect his companions.
Nothing to complain about,
It’s just a lack of strength!
The moment he embarked on this road, he had put life and death aside, and I believe that others were the same.
"So handsome~"
Looking at Zoro with an indifferent expression, Chopper's eyes lit up.
'Even if I disappear, my dream will still come true, and that dream will definitely save people's hearts in this country. '
'There is nothing a man who bets his life on the skull and crossbones flag can't do! '
Siruluk's words still ring in his ears.
There is no doubt that Luffy and Zoro are such people, and Chopper's dream is not only to become a great doctor, but also to be like his adoptive father Siruluk.
They have not forgotten Sanji, Brooke and others.
Sooner or later...
As long as the Straw Hats are alive and their pirate flags are still there, everyone's dreams will come true!
I saw Qing Pheasant shaking his head:
"I know your goal is the legendary secret treasure, but maybe you underestimated how terrifying Joyboy is."
"With your current strength, going to Ravdru will do more harm than good."
Aokiji's analysis is not unreasonable. What the Straw Hats need most now is to improve their strength and develop their power.
If you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to compete with those monsters. If you don't have considerable power, you won't even be able to see your opponent, and you will be exhausted and overwhelmed by the sea of people.
Just like last time.
If it weren't for the alliance of several extremely evil generations and the hundreds of thousands of New World pirates who gathered in the Beast Pirates, they would have had no chance of defeating the Beast Pirates.
This opportunity comes only once in a lifetime and is almost impossible to repeat!
In other words, if no changes are made, next time they may have to fight with a few people against tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of elite pirates.
As for Raff Drew;
It's too early to think about this now.
Firstly, you may fall into Joyboy's trap again, and secondly, it will easily attract the covetousness of others, making it difficult to hold on.
"So, the top priority is to occupy a territory, establish a foothold in the new world, and then accumulate advantages to collect the three ancient weapons step by step."
"Three ancient weapons?"
The Straw Hats' eyes widened. Now that they were no longer just newcomers, they naturally understood the weight of the three ancient weapons.
Especially the power of Neptune, they are deeply aware of it!
in addition,
As far as they know, 'King of Heaven' Uranus and 'King of Sea' Shirahoshi were last seen in Punk Hassad and are now missing.
If they want to find it before others, they must use intelligence means, which is exactly what they lack.
As for 'Pluto' Pluto, in the hands of Blackbeard, trying to snatch it means having to go to war with one of the Four Emperors, and the risk factor is extremely high.
"Don't be confused, don't doubt yourself, and don't resist the power of Devil Fruit."
"You are free and not anyone's substitute!"
Seemingly sensing Luffy's hesitation, Aokiji took a step forward and patted his shoulder gently.
Perhaps even Luffy himself didn't realize it, because the will of Joeyboy resided in his body, causing him to instinctively resist everything related to Joeyboy.
onepiece, three ancient weapons, and rubber fruit.
boom! ! !
Hearing Aokiji's words, Luffy felt like he was struck by lightning, his mind went blank, and his body even started to tremble involuntarily.
When exactly did this emotion called fear arise in his heart?
Ace died?
After Sanji and Brooke died? After learning the truth about Shanks?
Or was it after he firmly believed that he was not Joeyboy, and that mass of will that did not belong to him was really bloodyly ripped out of his body?
"Once upon a time, when I was confused, your grandfather Lieutenant General Garp taught me - follow the direction of your heart."
"Even if you lose everything, even if everyone thinks you are wrong."
After saying that, Qing Pheasant raised his head to the sky, his face a little sad:
"Human life is very short. It can be forgotten in a few months or a few years. Everything we are attached to now will one day become worth mentioning."
"Even justice is so insignificant in the face of time. That's why so many people like Meteor!"
Human life is a cycle of gain and loss, from having nothing when you are born, to gaining and losing as you grow, and finally having nothing again.
Aokiji's words seemed to be enlightening Luffy, more like comforting himself.
How could it be possible that he was forced to leave the Navy, where he had served for many years, without incident, but he could not stop. That would be irresponsible to himself and to those who believed in him!
After knowing the existence of Dalis, he deliberately found the archives sealed by the Draco family, which contained records about Joyboy and the rubber fruit.
Of course, if the Tianlong people hadn't moved to the East China Sea one after another, he wouldn't have been able to access these secrets so easily. It can only be said that his luck is pretty good.
On the other hand, it also indirectly shows that the five old stars have relaxed their control and no longer regard Joey Boy as their first priority.
And he was already ready for a hundred years of blank solitude, and completely fell over to the Qianhe Pirates!
"Is that so?"
Luffy exhaled heavily.
"In that case, let's start with the King of the Sea and the King of Heaven. I have a hunch that they will appear in front of us soon."
…
