131. The beginning and end of the era
The Great Voyage, Marin Fando. X
Three full days have passed since the war at the top, but the aftermath of the war has not stopped at all. The ruins and ruins of the former naval headquarters and the bloodstains that have not yet been completely cleaned all no longer show the fierceness and tragedy of the original battle.
The deaths of Edward Newgate, the leader of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Potkas D. Ace, the captain of the second team, have pushed this era dominated by the sea forward sharply.
In just three days, the news of the death of this so-called "world's strongest man" spread all over the world. Because of the arrival of the four emperors' red hair, the horn of war was stopped in the middle of the way. Accompanied by a powerful and oppressive declaration, Redhead successfully took away the remains of Ace and Whitebeard, and buried them in the second half of the Great Voyage in the "New World" along with the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
At this point, the era of Whitebeard finally came to an end, and a new era of even more chaos followed.
The new naval headquarters has decided to be established in the New World, and because the construction has not yet been completed, the current Marshal Sengoku is still in Marin Fando to deal with affairs.
"Knock knock."
A knock on the door woke Sengoku from his sleep, and the follow-up affairs of dealing with the big event for several days had made it very difficult for this marshal who was no longer young. In addition, the resignation submitted by himself and Karp has not been approved for a long time, which makes Sengoku feel exhausted.
"Come in."
Sengoku rubbed his temples and put the glasses on the table back on.
Coming in was an ordinary naval soldier with a stack of paper reports in his hands.
"What's the matter?"
"Report Marshal, this is the statistical report of the recently active pirate group, and the chief of staff of the crane asked me to send it to you for review."
"Oh, I see, leave it there and I'll deal with it later."
Hearing this, the soldier put the report on the table, saluted Sengoku, and exited the door.
Sengoku didn't immediately look at the report, but stood up and walked to the window to look out. Looking through the window, it seems that you can still see the scene of Whitebeard standing on the Moby Dick and leading the 43 pirate fleets under his command to rescue Ace in high spirits.
"Ugh."
A long sigh was accompanied by a puff of white gas dissipating in the air, I don't know whether I was sighing for the death of my old opponent or sighing for the absence of youth.
"Blackbeard Teach... It's grown to this extent. ”
At some point, Sengoku had returned to his seat and began to look through the reports sent by the soldiers earlier. A dozen pages are turned in a row, and it is no surprise that they are all about what Blackbeard Tiki did in the New World after seizing Whitebeard's Shock Fruit.
Because he was a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Blackbeard knows Whitebeard's territory in the New World. It is precisely because of this bug-like advantage that Blackbeard quickly occupied Whitebeard's territory one by one, becoming the new Four Emperors after Whitebeard.
"Someone."
Sengoku frowned and shouted out the door. As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier who had been waiting for a long time walked in from outside the door.
"Report to the marshal, what are your orders?"
"Tell Karp to come to me."
"Lieutenant General Karp, he..."
"What's wrong with him?"
Sengoku raised his head, just when he saw the soldier's squirming and pinching, he had a bad premonition in his heart for no reason.
"Report to Marshal, Lieutenant General Karp, he, he has left his post. According to the latest news, he has left Marin Fando and is missing. ”
"This bastard..."
The word "bastard" failed to scold after all, and was replaced by a long sigh.
At the top of the war, Karp cried and let himself hold him down as if it were yesterday. Maybe there are too many people who are grieving, so some people will forget you, the grandfather who lost his grandson.
Let's go, maybe that's the best option for you.
"Well, I see, you go down first."
Sengoku waved his hand and squeezed out a smile at the soldier. But how do you look at this smile, how awkward.
He knows Karp's temperament, and since the headquarters has made a reservation for him, then he will not say goodbye, and at most he should go out to relax and release the sadness in his heart.
Sengoku glanced at Blackbeard's report and flipped the page with a flick of his hand.
That's it, anyway, I won't be able to do it for a long time, so this matter will give the successor a headache.
Sengoku smiled self-deprecatingly, and the smile was replaced with surprise within two seconds.
On the last page of the report, there is a blurry photograph. It looks like a giant fish-shaped sea king, but the text on it turned out to be a new group of pirates? And the reason why the report was sent was to ask him to give a suitable bounty.
Neptunes... Pirates? This is... What the heck.
Daughter Island, one of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, the residence of the "Empress" Boya Hancock, is named because there is no male on the island. At this moment, Luffy, who retreated from the top war, was recuperating here, and for three days, the boy could not come out of the grief of losing his brother. But right now, it's not this place that deserves more attention, but the sea not far from Daughter Island.
The place where the wind stops breathing is also the habitat of sea kings.
No wind bands.
A windless zone, as the name suggests, is a place where there is no wind. Because there is no wind, it is also known as the death zone for sailboats, and without the help of air currents, sailboats that cannot sail here often come to a standstill, and finally become a delicacy in the mouths of the sea kings who inhabit here.
Because of the danger, there are no waves here all year round, and it is a place that can truly be called calm. Today, however, something is different.
Even if it is far away, you can clearly see that there is a large splash of water on the windless belt at this moment, and the direction of the splash is the daughter island in the distance. This was not a strange thing, but when you learned that it was not a sea king or even an aquatic creature that made the splash, it would all become strange.
Reilly's eyes once again frightened away a sea king with bad intentions, and then he stopped to look at the daughter island in the distance.
Daughter Island could already see the rudiments, and at his current speed, it would only be a few hours away.
Reilly sighed, thinking of Luffy who had fallen into a state of collapse that he saw from the video, and a faint worry floated in his heart.
You'll have to hold on, little one.
Adjusting his direction slightly, without the slightest pause, Reilly swam towards Daughter Island again. But before he could swim two hundred meters, a dark shadow appeared again under him.
The black shadow is about twenty meters or so, and you don't need to think about it to know that it should be a certain sea king. Reilly subconsciously released the overlord-colored domineering aura under his body, and the invisible ripples flashed, and countless fish fell into a state of fainting and surfaced.
