Chapter 45: A Magnificent Era

Cloud.

Many large and small islands are silently suspended above the sky, and what catches your eye is a shocking picture.

Inside one of the islands.

"Lord Admiral, Lord Admiral!!"

One of the pirates ran towards a room in the building with a panicked face, and after passing through the room, they appeared in a small courtyard, followed by a violent gasp.

In the courtyard stood a figure, with blond hair, half a rudder stuck above his head, his legs missing from the calf down, and in his place were two blades.

He is one of the three legendary pirates alongside One Piece Roger and Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, and once invaded the Navy Headquarters alone and destroyed half of the Navy Headquarters-

Golden Lion Shiki!

"What's the ...... of panic?"

"Is there a storm?"

Shi Ji had a cigar in his mouth, a wisp of smoke rose up, and when he saw his subordinates running in in a panic, he couldn't even speak with a violent wheezing, and he frowned.

His greatest fear is the Storm, or rather, his Fruit Ability is afraid of the Storm, because the Storm will interfere with his Fruit Ability, causing chaos or even destruction of his air fleet.

The subordinate gasped violently, his eyes seemed to be a little incredulous, and his voice trembled: "No...... Not a storm...... It's the world...... World Government ...... No, the Holy Land of Mary Joya was destroyed! ”

“……”

The golden lion's expression froze for a moment.

As one of the beings standing at the apex of the sea, he once destroyed the Navy Headquarters, and also tried to join forces with Roger to dominate the world, and was not afraid of the world government.

In fact, if Roger was willing to join forces with him, and based on the information that Roger knew, he would indeed be qualified to dominate this world.

But in the end, his negotiations with Roger broke down.

And that battle ended in his defeat.

With his strength at that time, or the strength of Roger's Pirates, at most he was not afraid of the navy, and he had the qualifications to fight against the navy, and it was far from enough to fight against the world government, unless he joined forces and used ancient weapons.

But now, with Roger already dead, and he 'retired' and planning to act again in a dozen years, someone has destroyed the Holy Land of Mary Joy!

Even him,

I couldn't help but be moved.

"Did that guy with Whitebeard do it? Although that guy's strength is very strong, he probably can't do this kind of thing. ”

Shiki stared at his subordinates and spoke in a deep voice.

In the case of Roger's death and the loss of his legs, Whitebeard is the only living legend and the ruler of this era, but with Whitebeard's power alone, he should not be able to destroy Mary Joy.

"No...... Not a whitebeard ......"

"It is said that ...... It's the one who defeated Admiral Sengoku before......"

Shiki's subordinates spoke in trembling voices.

Golden Lion Shiji's eyes flashed slightly, and said, "Is that kid?" ”

For him, who stands at the top of the sea, there are not many people who can be valued by him, and there are only a few people such as Whitebeard, Roger, Karp, and Sengoku.

When he was in the Rocks Pirates, the only opponent he recognized was Whitebeard, and Kaido and BIGMOM were not very much of his eyes.

defeated Kaede Night, who was a Warring States, and reached the threshold of being recognized by him.

"It's really ......"

"It's a big thing."

The golden lion took a breath.

There are not many things that can be called a 'big deal' by him, and the destruction of the Holy Land Mary Joya is definitely the last one, which is also something he didn't expect, he didn't expect the Holy Land to be destroyed!

"I really want to meet that kid for a while, hahaha."

The golden lion suddenly laughed, and after laughing for a while, his eyes flashed with light, and said, "Since even the Holy Land has been destroyed, they should also feel fear, then my revenge will be meaningless, in this case, ......"

The reason why he planned to retire for more than ten years was to study mutated creatures, so that countless creatures on the sea would mutate into terrifying monsters, and the government and navy would be terrified.

It doesn't make much sense now.

And the Holy Land of Mary Joy was destroyed, and he probably could also foresee that more heroes would emerge on the sea, some joined the navy, some became pirates, fighting each other, and evolving into a vast era that will determine the direction of the future!

"Lord Admiral?"

The Golden Lion's subordinates cautiously spoke.

Shiki spat out a puff of smoke, and finally made a decision, grinning: "The era has begun to run wild, in this case, how can this era be without my existence, the original plan was canceled, it's time to return to the sea!" ”

"Yes!"

"Lord Admiral!"

The Golden Lion's subordinates looked excited.

Compared to hiding in these islands, doing nothing all day long, living like a farmer, there is no doubt that the battle for the sea is more exciting and exciting!

……

The same event,

It also happens all over the world.

The destruction of the Holy Land of Mary Joya sets off a series of subsequent events that make the conquest of the many forces of the New World bloodier and more intense, and the seas more chaotic.

Correspondingly, as the sea has become more chaotic, more powerful heroes have joined the navy to confront the evil forces of chaos.

This sea,

The most chaotic times have arrived!

One Piece Roger's words before he was executed opened the era of pirates, and the destruction of the Holy Land of Mary Joya made this era of pirates reach its peak in a very short time!

……

Above the Red Earth.

A ship floats in the sky, flying directly above the Red Earth.

On the deck of the ship, Robin was leaning there, looking at the Red Earth Continent below, and could see that the place where the Holy Land of Mary Joy was originally located was already a wasteland.

Visible to the naked eye are two black arcs, lined up on either side, those are the remains of the destroyed shrine of Mary Joy, piled up on either side of the Red Earth Continent.

She withdrew her gaze,

looked at Feng Ye, who was standing not far away, and said slowly, "Sir, you...... Sure enough, it's a god. ”

Although she is an atheist as an archaeologist, Kaede Night's power has gone beyond what humans can reach.

And the destruction of the Holy Land of Mary Joy, this kind of thing, it sounds like a dream, but it really happened.

Coupled with her contact with Kaede, she knows much more about Kaede than others, and she doesn't think Kaede is much of a traveler.

It's more like ......

Wandering gods!

Kaede Ye stood at the front of the deck, and when he heard Robin's words, he looked sideways at Robin and smiled softly.

"If you want to define me in terms of strength, you can, but humans are not the same as gods."

"In a real sense."

"I'm really just a normal human being."
