Chapter 1260: Pirate Expo
โD๏ผ Is Roger actually a D? Hahaha, that's interesting news. โ
Barrett left the place after leaving this sentence, and Buena Festa understood who Barrett was talking about.
"The world government is really afraid of this letter, and even Roger's name is fake."
Gore S. The name of D. Roger is only spread in the ears of a few people, even if Buena Festa and Roger are pirates of the same era, his knowledge of Roger has always stayed in Gordo Roger, and it is not until today that he knows the truth from Barrett's mouth.
"But your performance is not the same as what you said."
At this time, Barrett had already left, and did not hear Buena Festa's self-talk, although Barrett has never admitted it, but one thing is true, Roger is special to him.
It was one of the very few people who could defeat him, and he would board Roger's Pirates, and it was because Roger defeated him that he would come on board as a challenger.
He wants to beat Roger and become the best in the world.
But Roger was terminally ill that year, which had a big impact on Barrett.
This incident made Barrett very anxious, although Roger's illness did not cause his strength to drop anything, but it greatly affected Roger's durability, and he was unable to fight continuously like those physical monsters.
During that time, Roger and Whitebeard's battles were fought in a "friendly battle" mode with a half-day break and a half-day.
During this time, Barrett gradually developed the awareness that "he must protect his companions", because he began to be less decisive in his battles because of the situation of his companions.
Eventually, he thought he had become weaker, and at the same time began to doubt Roger's strength, and after one last battle with Roger, he quit the Roger Pirates and began his own voyage.
Roger is a very important part of Barrett's life, and even today, the person Barrett wants to surpass is still Roger.
And Buena Festa also has the same idea, but Barrett wants to surpass Roger in strength, but Buena Festa wants to do the same thing as Roger in terms of the era, and he also wants to set off a new era.
In Buena Festa's opinion, instead of leisurely watching the development of the era of pirates, it is better to start a war immediately, but he can't do it himself, so he cooperates with Barrett, who also wants to surpass Roger.
From the point of view of starting a war, Buena Festa and Kaido have a common topic, but they have little connection with each other.
Buena Festa is also a pirate of the same era as Roger, Kaido is still a trainee at that time, although Kaido is now the emperor of the sea, but he has been famous for a longer time than BIGยท MOM AND WHITEBEARD ARE MUCH LATER.
In terms of era, Kaido, like the redhead, is a newcomer who rose in the later period.
Barrett made a name for himself a little earlier than Kaido.
In Buena Festa's opinion, Kaido is a new imp, and it is a shame for an old-timer like him to take the initiative to join forces with this junior.
As for Kaido, his vision is very high now, Arceus's ability makes the strength of the beasts have both qualitative and quantitative changes, and the battle between pirates is no longer a war in Kaido's eyes.
A war that would be enough to upend the entire world government was what he wanted, and Buena Festa's petty fights were no longer able to whet Kaido's appetite.
And in a sense, Buena Festa's Pirate Expo was held in violation of the law.
The gathering between the pirates is naturally an illegal gathering in the World Government, but some time ago, the Hundred Beasts and the BIGยท MOM has made a move to unify the underworld.
The Pirate Expo is ostensibly a party, but in fact, there are countless underground transactions hidden in private, and this kind of transaction is now illegal in both black and white.
It's just that Buena Festa only held the World Expo, which is a place to be provided, not a direct trader, and if this kind of thing can be brought to court, it can take three or five years just to rip off the skin, so the beasts didn't care too much.
The underground world is a group of mercenary guys, and what the beasts can control is the things in their own territory, outside the radiation range, as long as this person is not too jumpy, it means that he is not satisfied, and he generally turns a blind eye and lets it go.
For example, this time, Buena Festa even spent a lot of money to hire some special performers.
At this time, the Shadow Fox was already close to the island where the Pirate Expo was held, but the painting style on the ship was a little strange, and a row of calves could be seen on the edge of the deck at this time.
Humans, fur people, lizards, and centaurs, all of which reveal features that indicate their race and identity.
Naturally, this is not the scene of an accident, but some strange entertainment.
At first, Meow Na and Wolf were idle and bored, so they hung upside down on the deck, watching the sea and the sky turn upside down outside the ship, and under the influence of the herd mentality, they soon had a rabbit next to Garrot.
Then there are Bebo and Merlot, who are not very old, but with Olga joining the team, the style of painting is strange.
"Sister Olga, you are really childlike."
Mandelfeych didn't stop his daughter, just hanging on the side of the boat to play, and there was no danger, even if there were some wind and waves, the biggest risk was to fall into the sea.
But since ancient times, no mermaid or centaur has ever drowned, and they don't need to worry about drowning if they can breathe in the water.
Even if something really went wrong, Mandelfesch could react.
"It's just a matter of killing time, if I hadn't had these two children, I would have had a depression attack and died more than a hundred years ago."
Trapped in the belly of the Sea King for a long time, she developed this passive skill, and sometimes a single leaf can allow her to play for a day, which is why Olga is the best rated cadre among all the children.
No matter what age she is, she always blends in perfectly and makes people undetectable.
"Speaking of which, the last time the Pirate Expo was held was 20 years ago."
Olga already had an island in sight, and judging by the reaction of the record pointer, this was the final destination, and seeing that it was about to arrive, Olga stepped forward and stood on the deck again, tidying up her messy hair.
"Well, I haven't heard from you in a few years, and even Buena Festa has been gone for a while, and I thought he was dead."
Once upon a time, the Pirate Expo was held once every few years, but with the disappearance of the organizers, the event disappeared with it, and it was not until Buena Festa reappeared on the sea that the event was held again.
"So, eldest sister, you don't know what the situation is to come here?"
"yes, I didn't tell you, I just came to join in the fun, I heard there's a great scavenger hunt.
Even if he had some conspiracy, what could he do? Twenty years have passed, and times have long since changed. โ
Poof.
At this moment, the sound of falling water suddenly reached their ears, and when Mandelfesch and Olga looked back at their original position, Bebo had accidentally slipped into the water.
"Bebo, how did you get it?"
"I'm sorry I just accidentally fell asleep."
As soon as Bei Bo in the water was about to climb up on his own, a tenacious water bubble appeared at his feet, directly supporting Bei Bo's body.
It can be seen that Merlot has mastered the ability of the Western Lion Sea Ren, and is already very good at manipulating all kinds of bubbles.
With such an episode, a group of people also got back on track and stood in a row in front of Mandelfesch.
He thought that Olga was well prepared and knew what was going on here.
However, the reality told him that Olga had been assimilated by Kaido and had been tainted with some habits from Kaido, so it seemed that it was the right choice for him to come here with him.
"Listen to me, although the name is the World Expo, it looks like a festival, but the essence of this place is still the black market activities of pirates.
Fighting, robbery, abduction, there are no taboos on this island.
Under normal circumstances, no pirates would take the initiative to start a fight here, and destroying the trading place is not a good thing for anyone.
But there are always some exceptions, so you guys are not allowed to be careless, you have to move under our sight, understand? โ
"Yes~"
"Got it~"
"This old man, you are really strict with the children."
Mandelfesch received an affirmative reply, but there was a strange voice in the answer, and before Mandelfesch could react, there were several more figures on the side of the ship.
"Redhead? Why are you here? โ
It was none other than Shanks who was uninvited, and with him was Beckman, who was a very luxurious line-up despite the fact that there were only two of them.
Shanks didn't treat himself as an outsider, and directly raised his request to the pirates next to him.
"Of course, I'm here to participate in the World Expo, a few little brothers over there, please drag our boat up, thank you."
"Don't take care of yourself and order others on my ship! What are you doing here for some reason, this defeated general! โ
"Huh? Didn't I say it, come to the World Expo, we're old acquaintances, there's no need to make such a fuss. โ
Shanks scratched his head as if he was stupid, if it weren't for the fact that his current reputation was too loud, no one would have thought that this funny middle-aged uncle was actually the emperor of the sea.
Seeing that the people on the boat did not help him because of Olga, Shanks did not say anything, but took the ship's cable and pulled the boat he and Beckman were on the deck like a cow.
"Where should I fix it? Are you just watching? โ
"Big Sister Head"
"Go and help him set the boat up."
"Yes!"
Having received Olga's orders, the ship's talents helped Shanks deal with the boat's problems.
"What about your own ship?"
"No, the Red Foss is so obvious that if you drive it, Uta will recognize it at a glance."
"Sure enough, the only one who can make you appear is Uta."
No matter what other people think of Shanks, Olga just can't feel his deterrent power, and in terms of mood, she has an innate advantage over Shanks.
And he obviously didn't come to fight like this, so Olga naturally didn't worry about anything.
Since Whitebeard's death, the remaining sea emperors of the New World have formed a relatively stable bond with the beast and fruit as a bond.
"After all, it's Uta's performance, I still have to watch it if I have the chance, and I always feel that there is a problem with this World Expo, I don't remember Captain Roger leaving this kind of treasure."
Shanks knew that Uta's whereabouts were normal, and without anyone else saying anything, Uta himself would tell Shanks about the future dynamics, and after hearing that Uta had been invited to this World Expo, Shanks left for here.
In order not to cause a commotion, he also deliberately changed to a small boat, and after seeing Olga, an "old acquaintance", he directly touched the boat.
Shanks is a person who pays a lot of attention to face, and according to world metaphysics, if he is not given face, he is likely to suffer misfortune in the days to come.
But in an informal setting, Shanks didn't care about face, and even showed a two-skinned face, even if Olga expressed disgust, he still followed the Shadow Fox into the venue of the World Expo, and even dug the foot of the wall in front of him.
"Mandelfish, do you want to consider changing jobs to work with me, we may have a lot of common topics."
"You better discuss this kind of thing with Governor Kaido, if the Governor agrees, I have no opinion."
"Forget it, Kaido is a troublesome guy."
By this time, they had followed the sea route on the island to the center of the island.
The island is unique in that it is divided into three blade-like structures by the current, and there are many entrances to the central area.
At this time, the host of the Expo also picked up his own microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen! There's a reason why the Expo chose to be here for the first time in 20 years! At the end of the Age of the Pirates, One Piece Gordo Roger discovered the island and buried an extremely valuable treasure here!
He also left these words, and in the deep and high darkness buried our answers! This is the challenge book issued by One Piece, everyone, let's challenge this mystery and find this mysterious treasure!
It's okay if you're not interested in treasures, this time we invited the world's No. 1 singer! Miss Uta!
Also invited is her partner, Miss Ann!
You can choose to enjoy the unique singing! โ
A large stage was raised in the center of the island, and Buena Festa was very well prepared in this regard and set the atmosphere in motion.
Countless pirate ships had poured into the waterways and begun to compete for the legendary treasure, but instead of moving, the Shadowfox had docked at the harbor by stealth.
At first, Olga wanted to join in the excitement of the treasure hunt, but now she seems to have found more fun.
Shanks has no problem with this, he originally came to see the show, but now that the show has not started, Shanks has become a Q&A robot.
"Uncle Redhead, I heard that you used to be a crew member of One Piece."
"Yes, I was also a trainee under Captain Roger."
"What treasure did One Piece leave here? Isn't that big treasure in Ralph Drew? Since you're his apprentice, have you ever been to the Island of the End? What's on it? โ
"Unfortunately, I didn't go to Ralph Drew because of some accident I didn't go with Captain Roger to Ralph Drew at that time.
As for this treasure, I have no impression. โ
Shanks really didn't remember anything Roger had left on the island, at least he hadn't heard of it until he disembarked.
"So, that guy might be lying? The goal is to trick more pirates into coming to this island? โ
Mandelfesch was not the same as the children's concerns, and judging by Shanks' answers, it is likely that Buena Festa's words were full of lies.
Roger is already dead, and the world can't tell if Roger did it or not.
Even if Buena Festa was only exaggerating the propaganda in Roger's name, they had no evidence that it was a lie.
The only question is what Buena Festa wants to do when he attracts so many pirates.
"Maybe, I don't know what he's trying to do, but that guy. It's best not to think about it. โ
Shanks's tone didn't change, but his right hand was on the handle of Griffin's knife, and it was at this time that Merlot looked at the sea in the distance.
"Dad, there's something underwater."
Due to her lineage and abilities, Merlot's perception of ocean currents is much stronger than that of the average human, and she has noticed something is wrong.
As soon as the words fell, the calm waters suddenly began to riot, and finally gathered into a powerful current and rose into the sky.
"Rushing currents?!"
The mere fact that the cupola current does not shock Mandelfesch is not a unique environmental feature, and many locations along the Great Shipping Route periodically erupt into the cupola current.
He was surprised that there was an island wrapped in bubbles in the current.
It was only as the cupola currents began to exert their strength that the island was exposed to the air again.
The appearance of the island interrupts the concert that had already begun, and at the same time as it appears, the pirates also find their goal and rush towards the island that has just appeared.
The height of the cupola current is not uniform, but the strong cupola current is strong enough to send the island to the empty island 10,000 meters above, and the changes set off by the current can be seen even from a long distance.
Above the clouds, Kaido, who was drunk driving, also ended his behavior of turning a corner in the drainage canal and entered a state of stable sailing.
But the sudden appearance of the current caught his attention, and when he sensed several powerful auras in the vicinity, Kaido seemed to have a new plan, and took the Nine Snakes Island away from its original course.
