Chapter 52: The Chosen One

As the deputy captain of the former One Piece, Reilly is beyond the reach of others in terms of knowledge and strength.

Just like the proprietress of this bar once told Luffy and the others that Reilly is 100 times more powerful than them.

Many people may think that this sentence is exaggerated, but the truth is that there is no exaggeration.

It's like Sol said that Luffy's hidden strength is nothing more than a trick in his eyes.

Among the old men who have lived in seclusion for decades, he is just better than the little ghosts who play at home.

So, whether it is out of the etiquette of the younger generation to the seniors or the reverence of the weak for the strong, Thor is very honest.

He'd heard about Reilly's presence here two years earlier, and had been looking for him, but Reilly had just left at that time.

And through the chat with Straw Hat Luffy, it is speculated that Reilly must have taught Luffy secretly in the past two years since he disappeared.

Otherwise, there is no reason for the stunned young man who doesn't even know what domineering is in the top war and suddenly can use it proficiently.

There were still very few people in the store today, and even after Thor came in, the remaining two tables quickly paid and left after seeing his face clearly.

"Brother Saul, you see you've scared my business away."

The proprietress named Aunt Xia stood in the bar with her chin in her hand.

Thor smiled, and Lynn quickly pulled out a small money bag and sent it over.

There were a few thousand Baileys in it, which must be enough for her income for a day.

Aunt Xia didn't refuse, she took it directly and poured two beers for Sol and Lin.

"It's good that I haven't seen a long-term young person like you for many years since I said goodbye more than ten years ago."

Reilly turned his glass and said casually.

"Is this a compliment? Who was the last person? ”

Thor asked.

It's hard to get praise from this old-timer.

"It's Shanks."

Reilly laughed and said, "I was always amazed by what the little guy thought when I was on the boat, and I assumed that he would do something." ”

Shanks was happy to be able to become the Four Emperors of the world at such a young age, but this was also expected.

"Comparing the Four Emperors with me, isn't it too exalting me."

Thor laughed.

Reilly shook his head and said, "No, it's not about your personal strength, it's about your vision and thoughts. ”

Thor didn't answer and silently took a sip of wine.

What is this? Hit? A pat on the back?

"I know the purpose of your coming here, Luffy is indeed my disciple, he and Roger have nothing to do with it, but the two have a lot to do with it. Of course, I won't interfere with what path Luffy chooses, and even if that kid wants to fight in the future, I won't interfere. ”

Reilly said lightly, in fact, he didn't say the second half of the sentence, the flowers in the greenhouse can't withstand the ravages of wind and snow. Luffy's desire to become One Piece is not a backer given to him by the older generation.

Thor pushed the beer to Lynn, untied the flask and took a sip, the beer didn't taste like liquor.

"There are some things, you must have guessed some of them."

Reilly looked at Thor.

The latter snorted and didn't speak, so Reilly continued, "Roger is the one who started this era of pirates. In fact, this era is like a big drama. Before it started, it was already full of people below, and Roger kicked off the prelude, and various performances began, and even some audience members ran up, which was what Roger wanted. Luffy is one of the protagonists of this big drama, the most important character, he has to follow Roger's script, this big drama that takes a long time will end one day. Roger is the one who kicked off and directed it all, and when the play is done, it needs to be closed. And you are the chosen closing. ”

Lynn looked at Reilly in shock.

Thor just took a big sip of his drink.

Roger is messing up the world, and of course someone has to put an end to it.

After all, not every one of those pirates is like Luffy.

"Roger made a connection with a big guy or made a game. Both sides have two important pieces, and these two pieces are extremely important leaders, and Roger chooses Shanks. ”

Reilly said lightly.

This led to Shanks' trip to the East China Sea before becoming the Four Emperors.

If it weren't for some insider, how could a pirate like him hand over the token of One Piece to an imp he didn't know? And how could that imp eat that Devil Fruit right under Shanks' eyelids?

A series of arrangements led to Luffy's departure more than ten years later.

"How many people know about these things?"

Thor asked.

Reilly shook his head.

"There were only two people who played chess at the beginning, and the rest were just outsiders."

Thor looked up at the white-haired old man and asked, "What do you think senior should I do?" ”

Reilly smiled slightly, "You can do whatever you want." ”

Thor took a deep breath and asked, "Seniors really don't miss this era of pirates?" ”

The man who once stood at the apex of this era said lightly, "The past will be over, and we can't let the world continue to be so chaotic." Roger's era has passed, that era is a legend, this era is also a legend, and the new generation in the future does not need to become a generation of legends. ”

Thor said goodbye to Reilly and left with Lynn.

Along the way, Thor was in a bad mood.

"Thor, are you really going to end this era?"

Lin asked suddenly in a whisper.

Thor stopped, and Lynn stepped forward and took his hand.

"Who knows, I just want to live."

Thor looked at Lynn and smiled.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Lynn dragged Saul to the shop that sold clothes.

As soon as he entered the door, the boss thought that some big money was coming, so he came over with a smile.

When you see Lynn and Thor's appearances clearly. How embarrassing that expression was.

In fact, it was not only that person who was embarrassed, but Thor was also embarrassed.

It's not that they don't have money, and they can't figure out why Lynn bargains with him.

He felt that this boss was also quite miserable.

The old rule, Thor sat in a daze in the doorway, deaf to the sounds of an argument inside.

Finally, Lynn comes out with a smile and asks Thor to go in and get something.

As soon as he entered the door, even Thor was startled, and the large bags on the ground almost emptied the entire store.

"No way, there are a lot of us."

Lynn stuck out her tongue mischievously.

Looking at the grief-stricken expression on the boss's face, you can know that even if he doesn't lose money this time, he will definitely not make anything.

Thor startled the boss when he picked up the mountain-like package.

"Little brother, why don't you find two people to help you carry it, it won't cost a few dollars, don't ............"

Before the boss could finish his worried words, Thor had already gone out with the big package on his back.

The pace is steady and brisk, and there is no effort at all.

Halfway through, the phone bug on Lynn suddenly remembered, Lin frowned, picked it up, and after a while, said that she knew, and then hung up the phone.

Thor looked at Lynn and his instincts told him that something was going to happen.

"Do you remember Joker?"

Lin asked, and Thor nodded, back then they had defeated an underground force in Gunuki, and that underground force was backed by Joker.

At that time, he captured one of Joker's men, codenamed Night Rose, and had intended to use her to infiltrate Kurokas, but the plan was terminated halfway through.

When Nightrose leaves, he asks her about Joker's identity, but she doesn't tell Thor.

Later, due to various circumstances, Joker's affairs were left behind by Saul.

"Bill called and said he had found out who Joker was." Lynn took a breath, "Joker's identity is Doflamingo!" ”

"What!"

Thor shuddered.

Doflamingo? Which guy is it...... So......

"I guess Doflamingo knows about us."

Lynn sighed.

Night Rose is Mingge's person, and with her level of loyalty, she will definitely tell Mingge about Sol.

Thor gradually calmed down and fell silent.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, joker is Brother Ming, the black and white character who eats all...

joker...... joker....... joker… Card............ Clown......

"I see."

Thor sighed, and Lynn looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Two years ago, Kidd came to my league and I refused, and before he left alone, he had someone bring me a card, and that little king's card was to tell me that he knew I had a feud with Doflamingo. It seems that they want to give me a final chance to choose. But at that time, I misunderstood, I didn't know that Brother Ming was Joker, I thought Kidd's target was One Piece......"

Thor smiled wryly, he thought he had done a good job with intelligence, but he still overlooked a lot of things.

But what puzzled him the most now was, why did Doflamingo not move all this time?

Is it because of the increase in their power and strength?

"Nickname Wai ...... The latest news, the former general Zefa is going to destroy the world!! ”

A voice suddenly sounded, it was a man selling newspapers.

Saul retracted his thoughts, saw that the newspaper seller happened to pass by him, and bought a newspaper for 2 Baileys.

The front page of the newspaper was the eye-catching headline, "The Great Crisis! Former Admiral plans to destroy the world!! 》

Seeing this title, Thor frowned.

Former admiral? Isn't that a pheasant?

Then, he looked down, and his expression changed slightly.

The former admiral was not referring to the pheasant, but to Zefa, with whom he had a fight.

It said that because of the events of the Seven Martial Seas back then, Zefa angrily withdrew from the navy and became a faction of his own.

At first, the Navy only regretted Zefa's departure, but it did not stop it.

After all, Zefa has dedicated his life to the Navy, and now he is old and has reached the age of retirement.

But what the navy didn't expect was that after Zefa left, he actually got the idea of the dangerous item DYNA rock.

DYNA rock is an extremely dangerous experimental product, the masterpiece of the great scientist Vegapunk.

This kind of thing was originally produced for war, but when the first goose-egg-like AYNA rock exploded, even the government was terrified.

An island just disappears.

This kind of thing is classified as a forbidden item, and it is sealed by the navy on a certain island and heavily guarded, and its location is known only to the top of the navy.

However, Zefa, who had long since lost his mind because of his anger, directly led people to attack the island.

At that time, Akaiu sent the yellow ape to support in time, but what people didn't expect was that the yellow ape failed.

Zefa detonates a DYNA rock during the fight with the Yellow Ape!

After the entire island sank to the bottom of the sea, Zefa disappeared......

EVERYONE BELIEVED HE WASN'T DEAD, AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, HE TOOK A LOT OF DYNA ROCKS WITH HIM.

Combined with the words he left behind when he left the Navy headquarters, the Navy panicked.

Zefa wants to put an end to this era of pirates.

How to end?

It's with that kind of contraband!

But if all those things are detonated in the new world, and the era of the pirates never ends, I don't know, this new world will definitely be destroyed.

It dawned on Thor that when he met the pheasant the other day, he had heard him say that he would meet Zefa.

It's just that I don't know if the pheasant is going to help Zefa or stop Zefa.

If it's to help Zefa, then it's going to be troublesome......

At the level of two generals, I'm afraid that the yellow ape alone can't handle it.

"The direction that the pheasant left before seems to be the direction of the Chambord Islands."

Lin said coldly.

Thor's face was ugly, "It can't be that coincidental, right?" ”

Before the words fell, the phone bug on Thor's body rang.

Thor's face changed, and he took out the red phone bug that kept screaming.

"Who is it?"

Lin couldn't help but ask when she saw that Thor didn't answer for a long time.

Thor didn't speak, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to grab the microphone.

"Long time no see, Mr. Akainu."

Thor sat on the side of the road and smiled.

If you don't know the truth, I'm afraid you think they're old friends you haven't seen in years.

Hearing this title, Lin was directly startled.

Thor's call didn't last long, and in the end, Thor still replied with a smile.

"Okay, no problem. Goodbye then. ”

Saul called, and Saul's face was gloomy like water.

"Why did Akaiu call you? What did he say to you? ”

Lynn asked hurriedly.

One is a pirate, the other is a generalissimo, and originally he couldn't beat it with eight poles...... Don't......

Rin's eyes widened suddenly, and she remembered that Pheasant had said that Thor had a deal with Akainu.

"The island destroyed by Zefa is not too far from this side, the person who pursued it this time is the yellow ape, the navy has sent additional troops, and it has already arrived in the Chambord Islands, and the red dog asked me to participate in the navy's encirclement and suppression of Zefa."

Thor said lightly.

This could have been regarded as a matter for the Navy Headquarters, but I originally thought that the Navy would solve it on its own.

I didn't expect Akainu to be so ruthless, and directly mobilized the Seven Martial Seas to participate, this is not intended to give Zefa a way to live.

"How did he know you were here......"

Lynn asked suspiciously, and then immediately realized that she had asked a mentally retarded question. As long as Thor of the Seven Martial Seas leaves his base camp, there will definitely be many navies staring along the way.

Although these navies dare not come to find trouble, they are also afraid that Thor will cause trouble.

Presumably, it was Thor who landed on the Chambord Islands and his whereabouts were exposed, and then Akainu would involve the nearest Nanatsukai.

After all, the sea is huge, and it is not possible to get to one place at a time, and if you don't prepare in advance, you may miss it.

"Alas~ Let's go, go and meet the general Yellow Ape, it's not always an opportunity to drink tea calmly with these monsters in the same boat."

Thor smiled self-deprecatingly, carrying the large package.

Before you go, you should always send these things to your own ship, and then you can talk to the yellow ape and let him be watched.

There is no reason to go and sell their lives to them, and when they turn around, they lose their property.
