No one can imagine what the Age of Discovery was like without truly experiencing the changes of this era. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chiba had heard of the Age of Discovery before, and knew that at the beginning of the Age of Discovery, pirates sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and ushered in a period of blowout development. But in the end, it is called mushrooms after the rain, and how can it be called blowout development, he has never had a clear concept in his heart.

After entering the East China Sea, this concept has finally been realized, and he finally understands what the real Age of Discovery is.

Speaking of which, he had been on the sea for some years, about eight years ago, when he left the island he had crossed alone and entered the sea in a small boat. At that time, there were really few pirates, especially the East China Sea was still notoriously weak. At that time, he had been floating on the sea alone for a month, and he had not seen a single pirate group, not only the pirate group, but also a normal merchant and passenger ship.

He was also in Beihai for two years, when he was already a naval officer, responsible for policing a large area. In the later period, when he was in charge of two naval divisions at the same time, he even used warships to block several shipping lanes.

The channel had been closed for a whole year, and he had only seen three pirates in the true sense, two of which were so weak that people couldn't bear to destroy them, which showed that even six years ago, in the strongest force in the North Sea, the number of pirates was still pitiful.

But now...... It has been less than a year since Roger was sentenced to death, and the number of pirates has increased by an unknown number of times.

Since he and Robin crossed the Red Earth Continent into the East China Sea on a snail ship, it has only been less than half a day, and he has already encountered more than a dozen pirates. There are big and small, and the small ones are two or three people, three or two knives, just like playing at home. The big ones were only the size of a few dozen people, and the ships were all in tatters, as if any wind and wave could disintegrate them.

But such a pitiful pirate group appeared more than a dozen at once, and they were all concentrated in half a day. Of course, this place is relatively close to Upside Down Mountain and Rogue Town, so it is understandable that there are more pirates. But it was like this, which still made Chiba greatly amazed.

Roger is indeed the most outstanding human in the history of One Piece, and he almost single-handedly turned the entire world upside down. The navy is no longer dominant, and the power of pirates is rapidly rising.

Not to mention those powerful pirates on the Great Voyage, many of those people are old pirates who have accumulated years, and many of them are even from the same age as Sengoku Karp, and they are not obviously representative. Let's just say that these small pirates still seem to be very young, but as long as time passes, they may not be able to become large pirates. Perhaps some people will enter the great voyage, or even become a strong party.

It is these newly-born pirate groups that have greatly increased the strength of the pirate forces, and the originally relatively concentrated forces of the navy have to be greatly dispersed, and they can no longer build the four seas and the great shipping route like an iron bucket. This iron bucket was beaten into a hornet's nest just because of Roger's words.

Chiba, who has personally witnessed this change, has a lot of feelings.

A blaster knocked over an eyeless group of pirates, and Rogue was already in sight.

"The beginning and the end of the town......"

Chiba looked at the small black dot at the end of the sea level and muttered softly.

It's funny, it's been more than ten years since he came to the world of One Piece, and he has changed from a nine-year-old doll to a young man in his twenties. There have been many times when I fantasized that I would one day come here and witness the beginning of the Age of Discovery. It's a pity that I missed it because of my own mistakes.

At this moment, Chiba suddenly had an impulse, even if he missed it, he still wanted to go and see this town, to see the high platform where Roger was executed.

"Robin-chan, let's go for a walk around town, shall we?"

Chiba retracted her gaze and said to little Robin sitting beside her.

"Okay, brother, it's good if you decide!"

Although little Robin is only 8 years old, he already has the appearance of a lady, and he sits quietly reading books along the way, occasionally looking up at Chiba because of his action to eliminate the pirates, but quickly recovering his gaze. In her small world, the two most important people are her mother and her eldest brother, who is now deceased, and the eldest brother is the only person closest to her.

She doesn't pay attention to anyone but her big brother, and no matter how sad the cries of those pirates are, they can't arouse her half interest.

This is Robin, immature but mature, with a little black belly in his intellect.

At the same time, it is also Robin, whom Chiba likes.

……

The speed of the snail boat is not fast, but it is stable, even if it encounters strong winds and waves, it will not be at risk of capsizing at any time like other ships. And most importantly, the snail boat has an autopilot function...... Ahem, it will recognize its own way and can understand human speech. Chiba just told it to go in the direction of the island, and then it was okay to leave it alone, the snail ship would move over by itself little by little, and there was no need for anyone else to take the helm at all.

About an hour later, the snail boat slowly sailed into the port of Rogue Town.

The port even caused some small commotion because of this, mainly because snail boats are too rare, and the connection between the four seas itself is not too close, and not to mention the East China Sea, that is, the North Sea, not many people have seen snail boats. So when Chiba and Robin stepped down from the ship, I don't know how many people gathered around him and asked him where he got the ship, whether it was sold or not, how much money he was willing to sell, etc......

Of course, there are also people who think very highly of themselves, and even come over with knives and guns to threaten Chiba, saying that if they don't give the boat to him, the men will kill the women and sell them to the brothel.

For this kind of blinding person, Chiba didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and just asked back, "Where do you want to travel?"

Then, in the other person's blank eyes, gently pat the other person with his hand.

Burst!

A big living person just disappeared.

The people around them suddenly dispersed like ghosts, and the people who bought the boat didn't dare to come over to ask the price, and the people who robbed the boat didn't even dare to let out a fart, and ran away with their tails in their hands, for fear that if they ran slowly, they would also evaporate with the world.

It's just a small trick, and it's not even a high-end ability application, but for these ordinary people, the deterrent effect is enough.

And there is more sufficient, that is, when the naval soldiers stationed in Rogue Town ran over a few minutes later, everyone thought that this man and woman were going to be in trouble, but the naval soldiers' faces suddenly changed, they all stood up straight, saluted respectfully, and shouted "Colonel Chiba" in their mouths, and many people's faces turned green at this moment.

What a group of pirates threatened a naval colonel, and he was such a young naval colonel, he deserved to be cleaned up, he deserved to evaporate from the world, and it was enough to save face if he didn't skin you one by one?

At this moment, some of the guys who were secretly planning to steal the ship quietly also stopped one by one.

Although the Age of Discovery has begun, countless pirates have set sail for the sea, and the momentum is incomparably great. But the navy is still the most powerful force group in the world, and the pirates are still unable to resist in the face of the navy...... Especially these thief squads, who are not even pirates, have the idea of fighting this ship again after their brains are pumped.

Holding little Robin, under the protection of a team of naval soldiers, Chiba walked through the streets like a certain two young people, and everywhere they passed, everyone had to make way for them. Of course, Chiba didn't take the initiative to be a bully, but the momentum of their group was so huge, and few people dared to stand in front of them without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

The town of Rogue is not big, and it didn't take long for Chiba and them to walk to the big playground in the center of the town, and at the edge of the playground stood a huge wooden frame more than ten meters high, and at the top of the wooden frame was a platform three or four meters square.

"Colonel Chiba, this is where One Piece Roger was executed. ”

Cao Cao, a naval officer who accompanied him, followed Chiba with a flattering face, nodded and introduced him.

"Hmm. ”

Chiba nodded noncommittally, walked closer, and then looked up at the high platform. Standing here, he seemed to be able to hear Roger's classic quote, and seemed to be able to hear the sound waves generated by the exclamations of countless people in the entire large playground, and he could even feel Roger's remaining domineering spirit from the air.

This is not really domineering, but the echo of the whole world when Roger relied on his own bearing and shouted this sentence loudly. On this large circular playground, there is a vague echo left.

After a few minutes of pause in the large playground, Chiba decided to leave.

When he came to Rogue Town, in addition to seeing the place where Roger was executed, he had one more thing to do, he had to look for a famous knife.

"How long have you been here?"

As she walked, Chiba asked.

The military cao who followed him was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied.

"Report to Colonel Chiba, I'm a native of this town!"

"Oh," Chiba nodded, "Then did you know that there is a weapon shop with an owner named Ichimatsu?"

"One, a pine?" Jun Cao was stunned, a look of confusion flashed on his face, and he came back to his senses after a while, "Is the colonel asking about the book?" If so, I know, but a song...... Is it his relative?"

A book of ...... Chiba's teary-eyed eyes, such a familiar name, reminded him of the hot weather in Tokyo.

"Well, maybe it's his son, okay, you lead the way, I'll take a look. ”

"Yes, yes, you go this way!"

Regardless of whether he is a pine or a Taoist, Jun Cao doesn't care, he only cares if he can really help this Colonel Chiba, and everything else is no longer in his consideration.

The group followed the guidance of Jun Cao, and after a short time, they stopped at the door of a weapons shop.

The weapons shop looked in tatters, and in the chaise longue at the door lay an old man, his hair curled up to the sides like ingots, and his nose was red, and he was pretending to sleep. In the shop behind him, there was a young man who looked like him ninety out of nine, but the age difference was much higher.

That's right, a book of Tao and a song, the latter is the second thing that was sold to the third generation of Sauron Ghost Che, but now he still looks very young, that is, a teenager.

Chiba secretly settled in his heart, raised his feet and stepped into the weapon shop.
