Chapter 152: The Truth About Roger's Treasure - The Battle for the Pension? (9k big chapter!) )
One Piece Roger was indeed executed, but the pirates expected by the World Government were deterred, and the Navy continued to suppress the pirates until almost all the pirates in the world disappeared. On the contrary, Roger's speech before his death seemed to give the whole world a stimulant to those who had ideas in their hearts.
- People who have already gone to sea to become pirates have strengthened their determination to follow the path of pirates; People who have not yet gone to sea have begun to plan to go to sea to become pirates; People who themselves oscillate between ordinary criminals and pirates have a clear career plan...... It is no exaggeration to say that Roger's last words made the whole era start to go viral.
Of course, for the average person, the word "treasure" in Roger's last words is the focus of their attention. Constantly people have put forward their own conjectures about Roger's treasure, from the content of the treasure to the value of the treasure.
But in the end, a conjecture that I don't know when it began, and who came up with it, became a widely accepted opinion:
The so-called treasure of One Piece is actually the final island of Ralph Drew. It is an island made entirely of diamonds, the size of the Chambord Islands, and has the ability to move. There is a fantastic Devil Fruit on the island that is treasured by Roger, its name and abilities are unknown, but if you eat it, you can gain the power to dominate the world.
This kind of unfounded conjecture is not usually accepted by too many people, but this time it was magically accepted by the public - and it is funny to say, it is actually related to the danger of the World Government's previous crazy propaganda about Roger.
As soon as someone doubts this conjecture, the people around him will question him like this:
Roger has been called One Piece by the World Government, and they all say that he is the most dangerous criminal in the world, if his treasure is not of such great value and such a high degree of danger, will the World Government target him so strongly? Will the world government hunt him down so vigorously all over the world? Will the world government broadcast the execution of him all over the world and put on a lineup like that?
These originally skeptical people were asked such a rhetorical question, and it seemed that they immediately figured it out - yes, indeed, there is one thing to say, this is the truth.
The world government originally wanted to issue a statement to refute the truth about the so-called Roger's treasure, but when the high-level people heard this rumor that is now circulating among people, they could only be helpless. It's impossible for them to tell Ralph Drew about the secret of the establishment of the World Government in order to refute the rumors, right? It's impossible to make up any excuse to fool the world – this may be shooting yourself in the foot.
Of course, for others, the real notable point of Roger's last words is what he calls "the secret of the phone bugs."
Thanks to the py deal reached by Polusalino and Roger that night, Roger spared no effort before his death to make two waves of hardcore advertisements for the recently mobile phone bugs. So now in the eyes of the big people in the whole world, the phone bug family can be described as mysterious and high-end, which has achieved the purpose of Polusalino.
In the eyes of these bigwigs, Roger may have really discovered the secret of the phone bug clan in Ralph Drew, and this secret may help anyone control the entire phone bug clan. Once they control the entire family of phone bugs, they will be able to figure out the laws of the operation of the phone bugs, so as to control the communication of the whole world, and gain power and huge benefits from it.
So, it's funny to say, the representatives of the big guys, the high-level members of the world government, actually want to get the "secret of the phone bug family" in Roger's treasure......
Polusalino learned of this, so he secretly arranged for a CP agent loyal to the world government to accidentally come into contact with part of the "truth".
……
"You said that you can only report the situation to us in person, and it is extremely important to guarantee your life...... Then just say it, we'll just give you a minute. If it's not that important, you don't have to leave here. ”
Between the powers of Pangu City, the blond-haired Five Old Stars said to a young man kneeling in front of the five of them.
"Yes! Five old stars! ”
Even though the time was only a minute, the young man did not ignore the honorifics, which made the five old stars more satisfied. After taking a few seconds to calm down the excitement of meeting the apex of the World Government, the young man uttered the language that had already been organized in his head:
"Didn't Gore D. Roger say before he died that he wanted to try out the latest game on the phone bug, and I always thought that his words might have a deep meaning. So during this time, I had the idea of giving it a try, and I used my free time from work to try out the only game on the phone bug. After 1000 rounds of wins in a row, I got a string of mystery codes. I typed this code into my phone bug and got some information about Ralph Drew! ”
The young man spoke quickly, but his words were very clear, so the five old stars could hear every word he said clearly, so their faces collectively changed.
The five old stars wearing flat hats immediately reacted and asked in an extremely serious tone, "Information about Ralph Drew?!" What information?! ”
He didn't doubt whether what the young man said was true—a question that didn't really make sense, given the young man's identity and guts, or the situation he was in.
"I brought the phone bug, Lord Five. Rather than having me say it, I think it might be more intuitive for me to show you directly. ”
The young man said respectfully.
"Yes."
The bald five old stars nodded.
The tall man standing on the right behind the young man immediately handed the phone bug in his hand to the young man kneeling on the ground - he was the head of the field service department of CP0, one of the five people at the apex of the CP sequence, directly responsible to the five old stars, and the top boss of the young man kneeling on the ground. The reason why this young man was able to see the five old stars was entirely because of his words, otherwise no matter how much this young man vouched for his life, he would not be able to come here as an ordinary CP.
By the way, for reasons of secrecy, anyone who enters between the powers (except for the five old stars) is not allowed to carry a phone bug on his body, so this young man's phone bug was previously kept by him.
After taking over his phone bug, the young man showed the dial of the phone bug to the five old stars:
"'*#3646633#*', that's the code I got after 1000 games in a streak, and I entered it into the phone bug ......"
As soon as the young man's voice fell, there was a "beep" sound from the phone bug, and then, a mechanical female voice rang out:
"We've entered developer mode, now for security verification...... Error, not enough permissions, exit developer mode...... Ralph Drew's geographical coordinates are unlocked 0.01%, and the world communication monitoring management privilege is unlocked 0.01%......"
The mechanized female voice stopped at this point, and the five old stars all showed shocked expressions.
“…… You try again! ”
The blonde-haired five old stars were the first to react and immediately commanded.
"Yes!"
The young man typed in the same code again, and the same mechanical female voice sounded again. The content is exactly the same as before, except that this time there is an additional voice at the end: "...... The maximum number of developer mode security checks has been reached, and the endpoint is locked. ”
With such a voice, the phone bug in the young man's hand instantly turned into liquid under the surprised gaze of the five old stars.
The young man, who had not shown obvious panic before, was really panicked this time, and hurriedly explained:
"Lord Five Old Stars! I've never faced this before! I tried again after the first mistake, because I was afraid to report it to you in case there was a problem......"
"We understand what you mean, it's not your problem,"
The knife-wielding Five Old Star interrupted the young man's panicked explanation, "This should be the so-called excessive number of security checks, so this phone bug has self-destructed in order to protect the secret." ”
The young man nodded hurriedly, but did not dare to answer.
The bearded Five Old Stars stared at the young man and said in an extremely serious tone, "So who knows about this matter until now?" ”
"Only you know about the Five Old Stars, and then I know, and Minister Guy knows, and no one else knows!"
"Well, your sense of secrecy is in place...... Now tell us a little bit about this game with your thousand-game winning streak. ”
"Okay Lord Five, this is the only game currently available on the phone bug, it's called 'Tetris 99',"
The young man replied respectfully, "Although the name is strange, it is actually a game of ninety-nine people who eliminate blocks at the same time......"
……
Ten minutes later, the young man who stepped out of the power had a feeling as if he was in a dream - just now, he was promoted from an ordinary CP member by the Five Old Stars to the leader of a CP0 Special Operations Group, and was directly responsible to the Five Old Stars. Such promotions usually require a lot of merit and more than 20 years of resume.
"Good job, Link,"
Next to the young man, the tall head of the CP0 Field Service Department, Guy said, "The five old stars recognize you very much this time, and they specially asked me to assist you in forming a new CP0 special operations team...... You kid, this is going to be one step to the sky! ”
"This is all thanks to you, Minister Guy, if it weren't for your help, I would never have been able to achieve such an achievement!"
Link said respectfully to Guy.
Guy smiled and nodded, "So what are you going to do next?" The task given to you by the five old stars is very heavy......"
Although Link was just an ordinary CP agent before, his own emotional intelligence was still very high, and he instantly understood the implied meaning of Guy's words - Guy was also in power just now, and he knew very well how important this task given to him by the five old stars was. Therefore, he does not care about Link's future plans, but wants to participate in this extremely important task more or less in the name of concern.
"I'm actually very distressed, after all, I don't have much experience in such an important task,"
Link looked half-truthful and distressed, "If only you could help me Minister Guy......"
Guy was very satisfied with Link's answer - although he was one of the five people at the top of the CP sequence, above the five of them, there was also the "strongest shield", which was the highest position in the CP sequence in the true sense. And whoever they are, they all want to go one step further and become the first person in the CP sequence in the true sense.
However, at their level, promotion is no longer something that can be achieved simply by relying on ordinary merit accumulation and hard work. If they want to be promoted, they can only rely on great merit and high recognition from the five old stars.
And Link's current CP sequence will be extremely important tasks for many years to come, and once a certain result is achieved, it will inevitably "add a lot of points", so that Guy will reach the pinnacle of his life - and even if he takes a step back, even if this task is completed, Guy can't be promoted, but among the five people who are also CP0 ministers, he can also further expand his voice.
(That's pretty good, kid...... )
Thinking like this, Guy looked kind, smiled and said to Link:
"Link, you are my most important subordinate, of course I will help you. In my opinion, monitoring the new features introduced by the phone bug clan and digging deeper into them is not enough for us CP agents alone. ”
(And the most important subordinate, I bah!) If it weren't for Lao Tzu bribing your little lover with all his net worth, and making it clear that you don't have to be responsible for what happened, and you would take the lion's share if you had the benefits, you would have taken me to meet the five old stars? )
Although Link complained wildly in his heart, he still showed great respect on the outside:
"So Minister Guy, what do you mean...... Gather more people and strength? ”
"That's right,"
Guy stroked his chin and smiled, "With the code you got this time, a thousand consecutive wins can be described as very difficult, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is almost impossible to reproduce such success. And in the future, once there are any new functions that need to be dug deeper, several CP members, including you, will definitely not be enough...... And if we look at the whole world and look for talent from the whole world, then both the efficiency and the success rate will be greatly improved - we can train professional gamers in the case of games, and we can cultivate professional evaluation in terms of features...... What do you think? ”
……
What happened to the Holy Land of Mary Joya Polusalino, although he did not witness it with his own eyes, was all in his plan. In fact, Tetris 99 is just a simple game that he is experimenting with, and he is working on games and software that are more complex, more addictive, and more likely to have a smug effect on reality.
But that was for later, and now Porusalino was not only busy with his naval duties, but he was also occupied by something that he could say he had to meddle in.
That's right, the CP agents directly under the World Government finally discovered the fact that One Piece Roger had been in the South China Sea for a long time before he was arrested.
……
It is true that Roger has been dead for some time, but the World Government has not stopped tracking his whereabouts during the last year of his life.
After all, this man is too dangerous, and there is no doubt that the World Government is far more jealous of Roger than everyone imagined. There is ample evidence that Roger and his gang were constantly collecting historical texts during their voyages, and it is natural that there is no need to say much about what historical texts mean to the world government.
Although the World Government did not know that Roger's special insight and domineering ability to listen to the voice of all things had allowed him to interpret the text of history, the thing that the World Government knew was that on Roger's ship, there was a samurai from the country of Wano, called Mitsuki Mita.
What the Guangyue family represents may not be clear to others, but the world government that has lasted for 800 years knows it very well - the Guangyue clan is the stonemason clan, and they who forged the historical text 800 years ago know how to interpret the historical text. In other words, it's very likely that Roger really knows everything in the world.
This is something that the world government absolutely cannot tolerate - although Roger is dead, is his will, his thoughts, and what he has been given behind?
Think of the recent flurry of new changes in the phone bug family - there is no doubt that it has definitely stayed! It's even very likely that Roger has done something to turn these creatures that have remained the same since ancient times upside down in a short period of time!
The words on the execution table were definitely not a whim, and even if it had not been for the question of the man who was later caught and sentenced to death, Roger would have found an opportunity to say it.
Perhaps the world government did not know the purpose of Roger's surrender before, but after his death, everything was actually very clear - Roger chose to surrender in order to make a new wave in the first place, and the treasure he found must have been buried somewhere on the sea.
Almost one hundred percent likely, this place is Ralph Drew.
After all, it was the end of the world, the end of the Great Voyage, a place that only he had reached in nearly eight hundred years. It was perfect to hide what he had gotten his hands on.
But nothing is absolute, and with the idea of being prepared, wouldn't it be possible for Roger to put East XZ somewhere else?
Whether there is or not, the world government must assume that there is - because the world government cannot bear the consequences of the leakage of the truth, and they do not dare to gamble with 800 years of rule and inheritance.
Therefore, the investigation of Roger's last whereabouts has not stopped, and most of the CP agents have spent most of their manpower in the past year.
And now, the clue has finally appeared.
- As long as a person exists in society, he will inevitably leave traces of his existence. Roger didn't eat the Fruit of Transfiguration, and he wasn't able to change his appearance at will like a thief with the number 1412 he had seen before Polusalino crossed over, so as long as he appeared in front of people and didn't kill him in time, it was only a matter of time before he was discovered.
The horror of the 800-year-old intelligence network of the world government is no joke - you know, the CP0 intelligence department's precept is like this:
"We need to help the government know what happens to every fish in the ocean."
At first glance it sounds funny, but when you think about it, it's creepy.
In short, through investigation, some CP agents found out that Roger had appeared in the South China Sea some time before the execution. And not all at once, and the interval is not short. It is very likely that Roger spent his last year before his death in the South China Sea.
So the CPs went all out, and the navy also sent a large number of people.
And because of the agreement reached secretly with Roger that night, Polusalino had to intervene in this matter at this time, which was regarded as the advertising fee paid by Roger afterwards.
However, the Navy Headquarters did not arrange for him to go to the South China Sea, and if he took the initiative to apply for a mission, it would be completely contrary to his usual style as an old salted fish, and to a considerable extent, it would arouse the suspicion of the world's government inspection department - these annoying guys are usually suspicious, and during the period after Roger's death, they are even more like mad dogs that bite people, and Polusalino, who has not yet become an admiral and has not yet obtained the "golden body", can avoid them or choose to avoid them.
But fortunately, although it is not convenient for Polusalino to act in person, he has a lot of effective horses under him.
Frazier, who he gave the code name "Silver Bullet", is a good example of this - to be honest, Polusalino has been considering whether to change his code name lately, such as "Gin", which is a good code name for loyal people who do practical things......
……
Among the four seas, the South China Sea and the North Sea are actually more similar, both are the kind of sea areas where pirates and lawbreakers are very rampant, and they generally have some strength. And in the period after Roger's death, his words before his death were fully fermented, and the number of pirates around the world began to surge, and the South China Sea was no exception.
Originally, the number and quality of pirates in the South China Sea were among the best in the entire sea, and after this surge, it was no surprise that the local navies in the South China Sea began to be anxious. Coupled with the recent incident of Roger's trace, the CP agents of the world government have also begun to gather in large numbers in the South China Sea, resulting in the entire South China Sea is now extremely chaotic.
That's when the chaotic neutral leader Polusalino's horseboy, "Gin "Fraser", arrived.
……
“…… That, that's! Former senior cadre of the Golden Lion Pirates, and now the deputy head of the 'new Golden Lion Pirates'!! A bounty of 870 million Bailey's scimitar Fraser!! ”
On the surface of the South China Sea, two pirate ships approached.
The captain of the smaller pirate ship is a naked, muscular man. He obviously had some insight, and the moment he saw Frazier, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face became pale, and his lips trembled incessantly:
"Didn't you say that it has disappeared from the sea recently...... Why - such a big man is here?! ”
"Oh? Do you know me? ”
Standing on deck, Fraser looked at the pirate captain condescendingly, his expression sneering as he feigned a sneer—Porusalino told him that as a notorious sea pirate, he had to be impressive enough.
That's right, when you don't know what expression to use to face it, you sneer, and the sneer is definitely right, Smailusmail!
"You guy! Why is it here?! ”
In such a situation, the gap between the weak sea areas of the South China Sea and the East China Sea is evident - in the East China Sea, seeing a notorious sea thief like Fraser, the average trash pirate will grovel as much as he can, and he may not even be able to speak. And in the South China Sea, even these ordinary pirates have more or less hard bones.
"Hmm...... That's a very poor question,"
Fraser continued to sneer, like a real villain, who didn't care at all what secret he said in front of the miscellaneous fish, "As a pirate in the South China Sea, haven't you heard of it? One Piece Roger's treasure has appeared here......"
“?!!”
……
The world government thinks that Roger may have put something in the South China Sea in the last year before his death.
Strictly speaking, this is true. There is no doubt that Roger did hide something in the South China Sea, and it can even be said that he cherished the treasure of his life.
On a previous voyage, Roger met a woman in the South China Seas, and the two rubbed a spark of love. But it was impossible for Roger to give up his voyage and take her with him, so he temporarily let go of the love in his heart and continued to choose to conquer the great voyage.
After successfully arriving at Ralph Drew, Roger did what he was supposed to do, so he chose to return to the South China Sea and spend the last days of his life with this woman, and the two gave birth to the crystallization of love here.
Neither the world government nor the navy knew about it, but Polusalino knew. In fact, the transaction between him and Roger that night involved this crystallization of love.
Roger told him very frankly that he did not leave any historical texts, nor any treasures, nor did he leave any behind. He left behind only a woman who owed too much and the child in her womb, and if nothing else, without the help of outsiders, his family would not escape the murder of the world government.
At first, Polusalino really didn't expect Roger to tell him about it, and hoped that he would help his family members - he was not like Lieutenant General Karp, who had been friends with Roger for decades, and although the two had different positions, they both recognized each other very much. And he, in real time, only met Roger twice.
Therefore, when Roger talked about this and proposed to let Polusalino help his family as an "advertising fee", Polusalino was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously expressed a resolute refusal - he didn't want to get involved in this troublesome matter, and there was no need to pay such a high "price" for Roger to advertise.
Roger didn't act too anxious, but continued to talk to Polusalino slowly. After a long list of words, Roger concluded with these words:
“…… I know that I am a sinner in the eyes of the World Government, and perhaps in the eyes of the general public...... But Major General Polusalino! My family, my children! They are innocent! ”
"The great justice of the world government can't accommodate a pair of orphans and widows?!"
At this time, Polusalino can understand a series of villains who are touched by the protagonist's mouth cannon, such as One Passage, Uzumaki Nagato, and Conan's tragic prisoner. Although he is not a villain, Roger is the real protagonist of the times, and this mouth cannon skill is really powerful...... He was actually moved......
Therefore, Polusalino can only comfort himself, he is a person with his own moral and righteous values. No matter how troublesome he is on weekdays, sometimes, he will still do something.
Of course, he said that he was helping Roger's family, but Polusalino also made it clear to him that he would not interfere too much, and would only follow the trend. And Roger also told him that he only needed to make a little move, and Roger would also entrust Lieutenant General Karp with the main responsibility.
As a result, Polusalino informed his horse boy Fraser and asked him to come to the South China Sea to disturb the situation here, so that Lieutenant General Karp could secretly cross Chen Cang and protect Roger's widow and children.
However, Fraser actually had a bit of a headache when he first received the notification from Polusalino. After all, his identity is different now: he is now with the sword hero Aatrox, and he is regarded by the world as the two people who inherit the legacy of the Golden Lion Pirates, and they are the number one pirates in the New World, and every move affects the nerves of many people.
Especially the current leader of the "New Golden Lion Pirates", Aatrox, is very concerned about his deputy. If he goes straight to the South China Sea without any reasonable reason, Aatrox, who has managed to gain trust, will be wary of him again.
But coincidentally, before Fraser could figure out how to make up a reason to tell Aatrox that he was going to the South China Sea, Aatrox took the initiative to find him and asked him to temporarily leave Melvieu Island and go to the outside world to find some resources for the "New Golden Lion Pirates" - the IQ plan left by the Golden Lion is currently in its infancy and requires a lot of money and personnel.
Fraser immediately proposed to go to the South China Sea, and the reason given was that there was nothing wrong with it - the resources of the New World had already been carved up, and the navy in the paradise was currently in full swing, and among the four seas, the only seas that were rich in resources and relatively easy were the South China Sea and the West Sea.
Considering that the West Sea is rich in desserts, many local forces are inextricably linked with the "Bigmom Pirates", and there is actually only one option left for the "New Golden Lion Pirates......
In this way, Fraser led his men to the South China Sea openly, ostensibly to find resources and recruit people for the "New Golden Lion Pirates", but in fact to complete the task assigned to him by Polusalino to disrupt the situation in the South China Sea.
Under the direction of Polusalino, Fraser first led his men to launch a stormy attack on the pirates in the South China Sea.
They started with a few of the most famous pirates in the South China Sea, the first, the second, and the third...... After destroying the three leading pirates in a row, some lone rangers and small pirates joined Fraser.
In the face of the Fraser gang who returned from the New World and have a gradual growth trend in the South China Sea, the navies of the South China Sea are the first two big. The same is true of the CP agents sent by the world government to the South China Sea, and their actions have been affected to a greater or lesser extent.
Porusalino was extremely satisfied with this, and Fraser lived up to the new code name "Gin" that Polusalino had given him, and was indeed a good fellow who could do things - on the one hand, he had fulfilled Aatrox's account for him, and gained further trust; On the other hand, it also achieved the goal of initially disturbing the situation in the South China Sea for Porusalino.
As a result, Polusalino gave further instructions to Frazier, who was clever enough to reveal some information "through the wine" after a pirate feast:
"You guys, you only saw the first layer of things, and I thought of it as the second layer, but in fact, I was on the fifth layer - the 'new Golden Lion Pirates' to recruit enough people to recruit, and the money was all collected, why should I stay in the South China Sea?"
"Hmph, they're all stupid! Who would have known that One Piece Roger's last year was spent in the South Seas! He left more than just traces of his life here!! ”
"And a part of the ultimate treasure!! It is enough for Lao Tzu to regain the glory of the lion fleet!! ”
As a result, the idea of the world government and the navy to secretly search for what Roger had left behind in the South China Sea fell through – and the whole South China Sea became buzzing with Fraser's words.
……
It has to be said that the changes made by Polusalino to the phone bug clan have greatly affected the transmission of information in the pirate world - in less than a week, a legend about One Piece Roger has spread throughout the South China Sea, and even spread to the other three seas and great shipping routes, and even the new world has a certain degree of discussion.
Previously, it would have taken at least five months for such a situation to occur.
The legend about Roger goes like this - after the conquest of the Great Voyage, the Roger Pirates completed the distribution of the spoils. The largest head of the treasure remained with Ralph Drew, and the rest was divided equally among the crew.
Roger returned to the South China Sea with billions of Bailey's worth of gold and silver treasures, intending to use this "pension" to live a retired life here. But who expected that he would soon be captured by the navy, and the pension was therefore left in the South China Sea.
Because there are very few people who know that Roger turned himself in and was not captured, and it is impossible for them to come out to refute this legend, plus this legend is still very reasonable, so almost everyone begins to think so - South China Sea, with Roger's pension, worth billions of Bailey.
On the one hand, the illusory Ralph Drew, and on the other hand, the billions of Baileys that are close and real - pirates, bounty hunters, speculators, quickly made their choice and converged in the South China Sea.
Such a situation caught the world government by surprise, and the personnel originally sent to the South China Sea seemed to be somewhat stretched.
In order to prevent others from discovering Roger's treasure before the government, the government has once again added more personnel to the South China Sea. As a powerful and famous admiral in the naval headquarters, and at the same time in a critical period of accumulating military merits, Porusalino was sent to the South China Sea by the marshal of the Warring States - of course, in order to maintain his character, he complained verbally at first and slightly prevaricated.
The Warring States Marshal also believes that one Polusalino alone will not be able to control the situation in the South China Sea, after all, the sea pirates in the New World will definitely take action against Roger's treasure - the South China Sea needs at least a general-level combat force.
Lieutenant General Karp, whose strength has reached the level of a general, and at the same time is relatively leisurely, was unsurprisingly sent to the South China Sea. Since then, Roger's "confinement duo" has gathered in the South China Sea.
