In the blink of an eye, three months passed, and the time came to February 1516 of the Haiyuan calendar.

Rumble.

Near Rogue Town, a pirate ship slowly sank into the sea.

"This is the third ship of the week, right?"

"Every pirate ship sank shortly after it went to sea, and none of the people inside survived."

"I heard that it was the god of the sea who was angry and punished these pirates who wanted to do evil."

"It's better to be dead, these people, to make Rogue Town a miasma."

On the shore, in the harbor, a group of civilians stood as they watched the pirate ship slowly sink on the surface of the sea.

"It's a sea fish, at least forty meters over."

On one side of the harbor, on the shore next to a huge naval warship, stood a burly figure with shaggy brown hair, a hideous and ugly face, and a long knife at his waist.

"Brigadier General Yukimura, why is this sea fish attacking pirates?" Next to him, stood a muscular man with a cigar in his mouth.

"I don't know, it came here last week and attacked the pirates who went to sea three times." Yukimura said with a frown.

"As long as you don't attack merchant ships and fishing boats, killing pirates can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." The man said nonchalantly.

"We really don't need to worry about it."

Yukimura retracted his gaze, looked at the other party, and said, "Smoker, why did you take the initiative to come here to replace me as the head of the branch of Rogge Town?" It's not a good place. ”

"Because this is the town where One Piece Roger was executed, and it is also the only way for the pirates of the East China Sea to sail." Smoker said with a distant look in his eyes, he thought of the events of eighteen years ago, when he was only twelve years old, he saw One Piece being executed in Rogue Town, and he had the idea of becoming a navy.

"Is it here? Although the East China Sea gave birth to the One Piece Roger, as well as the leader of the Revolutionary Army Dragon, the naval hero Karp and other strong people, the East China Sea is the weakest sea among the four seas. ”

Yukimula said with a smile: "The pirates in the East China Sea are very weak, if you stay here, I am afraid that you will be like me, and you will not be able to be promoted for several years." ”

Smoker let out a long breath of smoke and said, "It doesn't matter if you are promoted or not, it's just that I can't allow anyone to inherit the will of One Piece and go to the Great Voyage from here." ”

"It's up to you, I'm going back to the Navy Headquarters, and I'll see you again when I have a chance." Yuchmura said with a smile.

"Lord Yukimura, you look like you're glad to get out of here."

Smoker shook his head and said, "Be careful, that sea fish has a good chance of attacking you." ”

"It's just a sea fish, if you dare to attack me, you can add a meal."

Yuchimura said with a smile, and walked along the harbor to a huge battleship.

After a while, the battleship started and headed into the distance.

"Gone, Dusty."

Smoker saw the battleship slowly departing, shouted to the woman behind him, and walked into the distance.

。。。

"Too little."

Xia Qiu felt the enhanced energy in her body and twisted her body angrily.

After Xia Qiu killed Ah Long, for five months, there were very few pirates hunting.

So he thought of the town of Rogu, so he came to the location near the Upside-Down Mountain, and found the island where Rogue was located.

This is the closest island in the East China Sea to Upside Down Mountain, and Rogue Town is the last stop for many pirates before entering the Great Voyage.

Summer and Autumn came to Rogue Town for a week, and they encountered three groups of pirates.

However, the strengthening energy contained in it is still too scarce.

Xia Qiu wants to continue to become stronger, this urgency is stronger than when he defeated Ah Long after two years of dormancy, at that time, he was mainly to evolve the tentacles and claws that hurt Ah Long, increase his size, and quietly wait for the opportunity, observe the surrounding seas, and wait for the opportunity to attack.

Therefore, in the past two years, the summer and autumn have been improving themselves step by step, and it is not too urgent.

But now, Xia Qiu desperately wants to improve herself by eating pirates.

He did this because he wanted to go to the Great Route.

This thought grew stronger and stronger, and the only thing that prevented him from putting it into practice was the danger of the Great Voyage.

And in order to suppress this fear, Xia Qiu desperately wants to become stronger.

But not enough.

These pirates alone don't have enough energy.

But it was at this time that Xia Qiu saw a naval warship coming.

This battleship?

When Xia Qiu saw this naval battleship, he felt that it was different from the battleships he had seen before, bigger and longer.

Moreover, the sea water emitted is more volatile, which proves that the role of Hailou Stone is greater.

Not a battleship of an ordinary branch base.

Rogue Town, which has a different status in the East China Sea, the island where One Piece was born and died, is not far from Upside Down Mountain when it comes here.

The head of Rogue Town is Smoker, and he once said that he would block the reputation of the headquarters colonel and prevent Luffy from leaving the island.

So the person in charge of Rogue Town, how can he also be at the level of colonel of the headquarters.

Oda said in SBS that the official position of the headquarters is three levels higher than the official position of the four seas, and a branch colonel is probably equivalent to a captain like Dasty.

Now there is a warship in the port, and a warship comes out, and the battleship is of the same specification, and at first glance it is not an ordinary naval warship in the East China Sea.

Moreover, the warships departing from the port were heading in the direction of the windless belt.

He was going to the naval headquarters of the Great Voyage, Marin Vando.

In other words, the strength of the people on the battleship must be good.

Colonel of the headquarters? Major general? Or is it a lieutenant general?

Xia Qiu doesn't know, but at least he is a colonel of the headquarters, as long as he eats it, he is afraid that his strength can be improved again.

And regardless of whether the opponent is the owner of the Devil Fruit ability or not, the strength will be greatly reduced if they fall into the water.

Naturally, Xia Qiu didn't dare to devour the Devil Fruit ability, because in One Piece, BigMom's Soul Fruit ability was probably obtained by eating the nun.

Although he is a sea fish, he may not get the Devil Fruit ability like this.

But as long as you get it, you're finished.

Eat the Devil Fruit and fall into the sea, the fruit ability will not disappear, and the body will be weak.

I am a marine fish, and I don't worry about suffocation, but if I can't swim and fall to the bottom of the sea, I'm afraid that it won't be long before I will be bitten to death by other marine fish.

So Xia Qiu tried his best to avoid this, and every time he ate pirates, he had to let them swim in the water for a while.

And if you don't have the Devil Fruit ability, your strength will be weakened underwater.

Eat him and head out on the Great Voyage.

Xia Qiu thought about it, and his body turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the naval battleship.

Rumble.

Xia Qiu carried a huge amount of power, and with the ramming angle above his head, he hit the bottom of the naval battleship.

Click.

The keel was unscathed, but the planks of the battleship were shattered, revealing a large hole, and the water gurgled into it.

"Not enough."

Xia Qiu knew that Ah Long's ship had to be hit four times before it could be sunk, and this ship that could run rampant on the great voyage could not be sunk by himself once.

So Xia Qiu went around in a circle and rushed again.
