Chapter 39: The United States and ...... Ghost Island
Violence would be pointless if it wasn't for the sake of coercion.
After threatening these pirates with force and honestly adjusting their course, the stupid ship that was spinning around finally began to move forward. Leo sat casually on the eaves of the boat while fishing, while thinking about the recent situation in the West Sea.
First of all, there is the matter of the United States of the Mediterranean.
He knew why the pirates were so afraid of this place, not only because of the ghosts, but also because of the disappeared mafia and pirates, but he didn't talk about that for now.
In Leo's memory, the West Sea was quite a famous place.
Although it is not explicitly stated, based on his costumes and some vague clues in the manga of his previous life, it can be guessed that many of the big characters were born in the West Sea.
For example, the most famous redhead Shanks and Hawkeye Mihawk are pirates from the West Sea.
There are even earlier, more famous than Shanks and Mihawk, known as one of the four legends of Roger's era, the Red Earl Barolik Redfield, the person whose personal combat power reached the top of the first four emperors, is also from the West Sea, and even the destination of Leo's trip, the former people of the Kingdom of [Bastorona] are still locked up in the city.
Of course, there are characters who predate Ledfield, and this character is part of the protagonist's team.
That's the cheap bones, musician Brooke...... His real age should be older than Redfield, and according to Leo's memory, the reason why Redfield chose to go to sea and sail the great voyage in his youth was because he admired Brooke.
In addition, there is also Brooke, who is also the captain of a certain kingdom's guard, and Blackbeard's crew member, Raphael, the violent sheriff of the West Sea, is also from a certain country of the [United Mediterranean States].
All right...... Having said all this, everyone may think it is incredible. Why are such famous characters all from the West Sea, but nothing is revealed in the original book? Leo knew the answer.
He had flipped through many posts on the Internet, found a lot of foreshadowing that Oda had buried, and then judged that there should be a huge ...... in the West Sea through the clothing characteristics of Hawkeye Mihawk, Red Earl Ledfield, Brooke, Raphael, Perona, and Cavendish The style is the dress and architectural characteristics of the Central European era of the Union Kingdom.
And this kingdom learned its real name after Leo crossed over.
That is the United States of the Mediterranean.
This is something that everyone in the whole of the West Sea knows, having heard of this country when Leo was six years old.
As for why it's called the United Mediterranean States?
Mainly because of geography.
[United Mediterranean] is a fairly large archipelago country, by [Rommel], [Bach], [Steinmeier], [Van der Bellen], [Svan der Belen], [Svan de Belen], [Svant], [Valadella], [Fritz], [Philip], [Stavisky], [Lombard], [Bastorona] and other 28 countries, 196 islands, nearly 1,000 towns and cities jointly established, the islands are crowded around each other, forming a huge lake in the center, so it is called the Mediterranean, and the United States established with this sea as the center is called [ United States of the Mediterranean].
It is said to have a history of 800 years, and it is one of the 20 major member states that established the world government, and has a very important voice in today's world conferences.
The United States of the Mediterranean is going to hold a five-year round table this month, but as rumored, this meeting has been postponed for the time being, because all the pirates and mafias who have disappeared from the Western Sea have gathered together and don't know what to do......
Many people have speculated that there could be a large-scale war.
But it had nothing to do with Leo.
Whoever wins or loses this war will not interfere with Leo, and ...... The leaders of this war are Capone and the remaining two mafias, as well as the three largest pirate groups in the West Sea, with hundreds of small and medium-sized pirate groups to create an event, if it really wins...... Capone Becky's bounty when he entered the New World would not be called the "Godfather", but the "King".
So it is not surprising that the war will be forcibly suppressed by the navy or the world government.
But no matter what, war is going to happen...... Therefore, some pirates who are afraid of death are all hiding far away, fearing that their lives will be affected, which is the main reason why Big Steel Fang is reluctant to go to Tango Island.
Leo certainly had little interest in this war.
What interests him is...... Among the many rumors, there is an incident about ghosts, if you guessed correctly...... Appears from the West Sea, and there are only three abilities about ghosts in the whole play, one of which is Perona, who is called Princess Mononoke, may be the reason for this.
That's why Leo wants to go to Ghost Tango Island.
"Perona......"
Leo touched his chin and muttered softly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a strange smile, and he was very much looking forward to what would happen on this trip.
"[Ghost Fruit], target ...... I hope you live up to my expectations. ”
I don't know if this refers to the fruit, or to the pink two-ponytail goth little Lori. But looking at Leo's big steel teeth on the deck, after hearing these gloomy words, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his cold hairs stood up! His eyes turned to pity, and he felt pity for the child named Perona.
……
Two hours later, the pirate ship [Steel Fang] anchored on the ghost tango island on the edge of the kingdom of [Basolona]. Leo stepped on the eaves with one foot, kicked a little harder, and his body bounced out lightly, falling to the ground like a feather.
"Lord Leo! The ghost tango island has arrived, and our mission is complete, oh, it's really sad, as the saying goes, there is no banquet in the world, even if we see each other at first sight, we still can't escape this established fate, goodbye Lord Leo, I hope we have a fate-"
"What are you beeping about, big steel teeth?"
"Huh?"
Dagang Ya has bells and whistles on his mouth, saying some quite cultured and affectionate words, which makes people think that this person may not be as stupid as rumored. But when he shows that stunned expression, it will definitely make you forget your previous evaluation.
Leo blinked his big black eyes and said ruthlessly at Big Steel Fang.
"You're going with me, too."
“……”
There was silence on the pirate ship.
Leo made matters worse.
"Not only that, but you pick two or three more men to follow, do you hear?"
"No...... No, Leo-sama, I'm ...... We've got it done...... Only...... Just ...... you"
"Thorn la la la la~!"
Leo narrowed his eyes dangerously...... With this slight move, a silver arc suddenly flashed between his eyebrows and his hair! The same arc of light was entwined around its fingertips, and the active ions escaped into the air, causing even the pirates on the ship to feel paralyzed more than ten meters away.
"What are you doing in a daze! All kinds of people follow me! There's Leo-sama here! I'm afraid of bird poop! ”
Without saying a word, Da Gangya lifted the knife and made the appearance of a hero, jumped directly from the eaves, and then "snapped".
Head planted in the beach.
