The Great Voyage, the 'New World', a certain Winter Isle.

On top of this cold, snowy island, there is a huge cavern in which a pirate flag hangs, a skeleton with three scars.

The red-haired pirates, the pirates who reigned on the throne of the Four Emperors of the New World, were resting peacefully in this cave.

Not all of the Four Emperors built palaces of the utmost luxury on an island. Of course, there are not no such four emperors, Charlotte Lingling, known as 'Bigo', lives in the huge castle of Cake Island, which is extremely luxurious, and lives a day of indulging in snacks.

Instead, he was adrift on the sea with his cronies on a not too large dragon-headed ship.

This winter island is one of the few temporary places for them to settle down.

"Boss! The messenger bird delivered today's newspaper! The news is quite exciting! ”

A fat, round-faced man biting flesh and bones waved the newspaper in his hand and ran towards a figure sitting in front of a campfire.

It was a man who didn't look very conspicuous at first glance, but was firmly attracted by it at a second glance. He was well-proportioned, handsome, with red hair, three scars on his left eye, and an empty sleeve on his left arm.

Shanks, captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors of King's Landing.

He stared at the bonfires that kept bursting with sparks, but his mind drifted into the distance, and the cries of the fat man with a round face interrupted his thoughts, "Oh? Ah, thank you, Rakki Lu. ”

As he spoke, the red-haired Shanks took the newspaper.

The partners next to them were gossiping with each other's faces, "Hey, hey...... Looking at the appearance of the boss, you are thinking about that girl again, right? "It's called Magino, right? What a good girl! ”

"How many of you, are you boring?" At this time, a tall man with a ponytail helplessly stopped the gossip of these people, "Who should go hunting?" Hurry up! ”

"Yes! Vice Captain Beckman! The friends ran out of the cave grinning. Ben Beckman, on the other hand, sat down next to the redhead, and was surprised to find that the latter had been reading the news on the front page of the newspaper instead of throwing it away after flipping through the newspaper twice.

He looked at the headline on the front page with a little curiosity, then raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Murder Chain...... It's the kid named Mafia Victor, right? I remember that he was from the West Sea just like you. Ben Beckman lit a cigarette and took a puff "Nicker is one of the top cadres under Charlotte Lingling, and he is extremely powerful. Being able to defeat such an opponent is enough to prove to the world that the 'murder chain' is not in vain. ”

Shanks smiled slightly, "He's going to fight Knicker to protect Fish-Man Island...... Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people who still follow the way of harmony on this sea, and if we can meet in the future, maybe we can have a drink with him. ”

The flames of the campfire suddenly suffocated, then soared, and sparks floated above the cavern.

"That's not exactly. Maybe young people will think that the four emperors are all old-fashioned old men and dislike us? Ben Beckman made a rare joke: "You have done a lot of boring things for yourself!" ”

Red-haired Shanks also chuckled softly.

"I've been with you for a long time, and I always feel like my mentality has grown old. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Shanks picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the fire, and the flame shook and returned to its original shape.

Times are meandering.

The Great Voyage, the 'New World', in the humble base of a tropical island.

"Boom...... It's yours, Murder Chain! Doflamingo, who was wearing a pink feather coat, threw away the newspaper in his hand and laughed out loud, but the tendons on his forehead showed that he was not at peace.

And his cronies 'Club' Trepol and 'Diamond' Diamanti looked at each other, shook their heads and did not speak.

The outside world didn't know, but they knew that their young master had suffered a big loss on the side of the murderous chain during the gathering of the Seven Martial Seas, and after coming back, he slaughtered several pirate groups before he calmed down.

This time the newspaper aroused Dufflamingo's anger again, and he sneered and turned his head to look at Diamanti, "Diamanti, how are the preparations going?" ”

"Don't worry, Dover." Diamanti, who was painted with oil paint, smiled, "Monet has successfully infiltrated the castle of the royal family of Riku and has become a trusted maid. As soon as the plan begins, she will take control of the castle and open the gates to meet the family officials. ”

Doflamingo turned his head to look at Trickle Pole 'Plum', who was covered in slime, "What about you?" Trepole? ”

"That's it!" Trepol, a snotty man in sunglasses, made an "OK" gesture, "Dressrosa's strongest warrior at the moment is, known as the 'Undefeated Man', who has retired from the Kingdom Guard but is still secretly protecting the Riku royal family. I've found out his hiding place and 'weakness', so I can deal with him with confidence when the time comes~~"

"Very good...... Doflamingo smiled sinisterly, "my clan was the rightful king of Dressrosa, but the kingdom was stolen by this lowly Riku. Now, I'm going to get everything back, and then I'm going to throw this shameless Liku clan into the abyss from which I can't recover!! Boom!! ”

He picked up a bottle of wine and poured it twice, then slammed the bottle to the ground and said with a sneer

"When I'm done dealing with all this, I'll free up my hands, and the murder chain ...... You can look forward to my 'return gift'! ”

Sanctuary Marijoya, Between the Powers.

On the table in front of the five old stars is the "World Economic News".

"In the end, we have to rely on the newspapers to find out his whereabouts?" The old man with blond hair and short beard said with a frown.

On the other side, the bald old man holding the long knife waved his hand, "He is not a child anymore, there is no need to report to us every time." Be patient with him. ”

"The acrylic frame is not a water-mixed commodity like the Salt Flow King." The old man with long hair and beard was holding a bounty list for the acrylic rack in his hand: "The growth rate of the murder chain is too fast. ”

"That's a good thing, we need a blade like this that can be revealed to the outside world." The old man with braided hair paused for crutches, "The first 'deal' we agreed with him will start soon, and how much of the tilt of his resources in the future will depend on his performance this time." ”

On the table, next to the newspaper, there was an old bounty slip with a photo of ————
